1 Chronicles 15
1 David built houses for himself in the city of David. He prepared a place for the ark of God and set up a tent for it.
Na ka hanga e Rawiri etahi whare mona ki te pa o Rawiri; i whakapaia ano e ia he wahi, i whakatu teneti hoki mo te aaka a te Atua.
2 Then David said, “Only the Levites may carry the ark of God, for they had been chosen by Yahweh to carry the ark of Yahweh, and to serve him forever.”
Katahi a Rawiri ka mea, E kore e pai kia kawea te aaka a te Atua e tetahi atu, engari ma nga Riwaiti; ko ratou hoki ta Ihowa i whiriwhiri ai hei mau i te aaka a te Atua, hei mahi hoki ki a ia i nga wa katoa.
3 Then David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of Yahweh to the place he had prepared for it.
Na ka huihuia e Rawiri a Iharaira katoa ki Hiruharama, ki te kawe i te aaka a Ihowa ki tona wahi i whakapaia ra e ia mona.
4 David gathered together Aaron's descendants and the Levites.
I huihuia ano e Rawiri nga tama a Arona ratou ko nga Riwaiti;
5 From the descendants of Kohath, there was Uriel the leader and his relatives, 120 men.
O nga tama a Kohata; ko Uriere, ko te rangatira, ratou ko ona teina kotahi rau e rua tekau:
6 From the descendants of Merari, there was Asaiah the leader and his relatives, 220 men.
O nga tama a Merari; ko Ahaia, ko te rangatira, ratou ko ona teina e rua rau e rua tekau:
7 From the descendants of Gershom, there was Joel the leader and his relatives, 130 men.
O nga tama a Kerehoma; ko Hoera, ko te rangatira, ratou ko ona teina kotahi rau e toru tekau:
8 From the descendants of Elizaphan, there was Shemaiah the leader and his relatives, 200 men.
O nga tama a Eritapana; ko Hemaia, ko te rangatira, ratou ko ona teina e rua rau:
9 From the descendants of Hebron, there was Eliel the leader and his relatives, eighty men.
O nga tama a Heperona; ko Eriere, ko te rangatira, ratou ko ona teina e waru tekau:
10 From the descendants of Uzziel, there was Amminadab the leader and his relatives, 112 men.
O nga tama a Utiere; ko Aminarapa, ko te rangatira, ratou ko ona teina kotahi rau kotahi tekau ma rua.
11 David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and the Levites Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.
I karangatia ano e Rawiri a Haroko raua ko Apiatara, nga tohunga, ratou ko nga Riwaiti, ko Uriere, ko Ahaia, ko Hoera, ko Hemaia, ko Eriere, ko Aminarapa,
12 He said to them, “You are the leaders of the Levite families. Consecrate yourselves, both you and your brothers, so that you may bring up the ark of Yahweh, the God of Israel, to the place that I have prepared for it.
I mea ia ki a ratou, Ko koutou nga rangatira o nga whare o nga matua o nga Riwaiti: whakatapua koutou, koutou ko o koutou teina; ma koutou hoki e kawe te aaka a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira ki te wahi i whakapaia e ahau mona.
13 You did not carry it the first time. That is why Yahweh our God broke out against us, for we did not seek him or obey his decree.”
No te mea hoki ehara i a koutou i kawe i te tuatahi, no reira i torere mai ai a Ihowa, to tatou Atua ki a tatou, no te mea kihai i rite ki te tikanga ta tatou rapu i a ia.
14 So the priests and the Levites consecrated themselves so they could bring up the ark of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
Heoi kei te whakatapu nga tohunga me nga Riwaiti i a ratou, kia kawea ai e ratou te aaka a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira.
15 So the Levites carried the ark of God on their shoulders with the poles, as Moses had commanded—following the rules given by the word of Yahweh.
Na ka amohia e nga tama a nga Riwaiti te aaka a te Atua, ka pera me ta Mohi i whakahau ai, me ta Ihowa i korero ai; ko nga amo i runga i o ratou pokohiwi.
16 David spoke to the leaders of the Levites to assign their brothers to be musicians with musical instruments, stringed instruments, harps and cymbals, playing loudly and joyfully lifting up their voices.
I korero ano a Rawiri ki nga rangatira o nga Riwaiti kia whakaritea o ratou teina hei kaiwaiata i runga i nga mea waiata, i nga hatere, i nga hapa, i nga himipora, he mea e rangona, he reo koa hoki e whakaarahia ana e ratou.
17 So the Levites appointed Heman son of Joel and one of his brothers, Asaph son of Berechiah. They also appointed kinsmen from Merari's descendants and Ethan son of Kushaiah.
Na ka whakaritea e nga Riwaiti, ko Hemana tama a Hoera; o ona teina hoki ko Ahapa tama a Perekia; o o ratou teina, o nga tama a Merari ko Etana tama a Kuhaia;
18 With them were their kinsmen of second rank: Zechariah, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed Edom, and Jeiel, the gatekeepers.
O o ratou teina, nga tuarua, hei hoa mo ratou, ko Hakaraia, ko Pene, ko Taatiere, ko Hemiramoto, ko Tehiere, ko Uni, ko Eriapa, ko Penaia, ko Maaheia, ko Matitia, ko Eriperehe, ko Mikineia, ko Opereeroma, ko Teiere; he kaitiaki kuwaha ratou.
19 The musicians Heman, Asaph, and Ethan were appointed to play loud bronze cymbals.
Na whakaritea ana ko nga kaiwaiata, ko Hemana, ko Ahapa, ko Etana, hei whakatangi i nga himipora parahi;
20 Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah played the stringed instruments, set to Alamoth.
Na ko Hakaraia, ko Atiere, ko Hemiramoto, ko Tehiere, ko Uni, ko Eriapa, ko Maaheia, ko Penaia, he mea i runga i nga hatere, he mea Aramoto;
21 Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed Edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah led the way with harps set to the Sheminith.
A ko Matitia, ko Eriperehe, ko Mikineia, ko Opereeroma, ko Teiere, ko Atatia, i runga i nga hapa, he mea Heminiti, hei whakarewa.
22 Kenaniah, leader of the Levites, was the director of the singing because he was a teacher of music.
Na ko Kenania ano, ko te upoko a nga Riwaiti, hei whakahua: i whakaako ano ia ki te whakahua waiata; he mohio hoki ia.
23 Berechiah and Elkanah were guards for the ark.
Ko Perekia raua ko Erekana nga kaitiaki tatau mo te aaka.
24 Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, were to blow the trumpets before the ark of God. Obed Edom and Jehiah were guards for the ark.
Ko nga tohunga ano, ko Hepania, ko Iohapata, ko Netaneere, ko Amahai, ko Hakaraia, ko Penaia, ko Erietere, hei whakatangi i nga tetere ki mua i te aaka a te Atua; a ko Opereeroma raua ko Iahia nga kaitiaki tatau mo te aaka.
25 So David, the elders of Israel, and the commanders over thousands went to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh out of Obed Edom's house with rejoicing.
Na haere ana a Rawiri ratou ko nga kaumatua o Iharaira, ko nga rangatira o nga mano ki te kawe i te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa i te whare o Opereeroma i runga i te koa.
26 While God helped the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.
A, ka awhina te Atua i nga Riwaiti, na ratou nei i amo te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa, na ka patua e ratou te whakahere, e whitu nga puru, e whitu nga hipi toa.
27 David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, as were the Levites who carried the ark, the singers, and Kenaniah, the leader of the song with the singers. David was wearing a linen ephod.
Na, he koroka rinena pai te kakahu o Rawiri, o nga Riwaiti katoa i amohia ai te aaka, o nga kaiwaiata, o Kenainia ano, o te rangatira o te waiata, me nga kaiwaiata hoki. He epora rinena ano to Rawiri.
28 So all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh with joyful shouting, and with the sound of horns and trumpets, with cymbals, and with stringed instruments and harps.
Na kei te kawe a Iharaira katoa i te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa, me te mahama ano ratou, me te tangi ano te koronete, te tetere, te himipora: paku ana te rongo o nga hatere, o nga hapa.
29 But as the ark of the covenant of Yahweh came to the city of David, Michal daughter of Saul, looked out the window. She saw King David dancing and celebrating. Then she despised him in her heart.
Na, i te taenga o te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa ki te pa o Rawiri, ka titiro atu a Mikara tamahine a Haora i te matapihi, ka kite i a Kingi Rawiri e kanikani ana, e takaro ana: na ka whakahawea ki a ia i roto i tona ngakau.
