1 Chronicles 15
1 And he maketh for himself houses in the city of David, and prepareth a place for the ark of God, and stretcheth out for it a tent.
Esi David wu xɔtutu nu na eɖokui le David ƒe Du la me vɔ la, edzra teƒe aɖe ɖo na Mawu ƒe nubablaɖaka la, hetu agbadɔ nɛ
2 Then said David, 'None [are] to carry the ark of God, except the Levites, for on them hath Jehovah fixed to carry the ark of God, and to serve Him — unto the age.'
eye wòde se be, “Ne mietsɔ nubablaɖaka la va da ɖe eƒe nɔƒe yeyea la, Levitɔwo koe atsɔe elabena woawoe Yehowa tia na dɔ sia wɔwɔ; woawoe awɔ subɔsubɔdɔ nɛ tegbetegbee.”
3 And David assembleth all Israel unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of Jehovah unto its place that he had prepared for it.
Le esia megbe la, David yɔ Israel dukɔ blibo la va Yerusalem be woaɖatsɔ Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la va da ɖe teƒe si wòdzra ɖo ɖi nɛ.
4 And David gathereth the sons of Aaron, and the Levites.
Eyɔ Aron ƒe dzidzimeviwo kple Levitɔwo ƒo ƒu:
5 Of sons of Kohath: Uriel the chief, and his brethren, a hundred and twenty.
Ame alafa ɖeka blaeve tso Kohat ƒe viwo dome, woƒe Nunɔlae nye Uriel.
6 Of sons of Merari: Asaiah the chief, and his brethren, two hundred and twenty.
Ame alafa eve blaeve si nu, Asaya nɔ la tso Merari ƒe viwo dome.
7 Of sons of Gershom: Joel the chief, and his brethren, a hundred and thirty.
Ame alafa ɖeka blaetɔ̃ siwo nu, Yoel nɔ la, tso Gerson ƒe viwo dome.
8 Of sons of Elizaphan: Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren, two hundred.
Ame alafa eve siwo nu, Semaya nɔ la, tso Elizafan ƒe viwo dome.
9 Of sons of Hebron: Eliel the chief, and his brethren, eighty.
Ame blaenyi, ame siwo nu, Eliel nɔ la tso Hebron ƒe viwo dome,
10 Of sons of Uzziel: Amminadab the chief, and his brethren, a hundred and twelve.
eye ame alafa ɖeka wuieve siwo nu, Aminadab nɔ la tso Uziel ƒe viwo dome.
11 And David calleth to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, and to the Levites, to Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab,
David yɔ Zadok kple Abiata, ame siwo nye Nunɔlagãwo kple Uriel, Asaya, Yoel, Semaya, Eliel kple Aminadab, ame siwo nye Levi ƒe viwo ƒe kplɔlawo
12 and saith to them, 'Ye [are] heads of the fathers of the Levites; sanctify yourselves, ye and your brethren, and ye have brought up the ark of Jehovah, God of Israel, unto [the place] I have prepared for it;
eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Miawoe nye Levitɔwo ƒe kplɔlawo. Azɔ la, mi kple mia nɔviwo katã mikɔ mia ɖokuiwo ŋu ale be miatsɔ Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la ƒe nubablaɖaka la va teƒe si medzra ɖo ɖi nɛ.
13 because at the first [it was] not ye, Jehovah our God made a breach upon us, because we sought Him not according to the ordinance.'
Yehowa do dɔmedzoe ɖe mia ŋu esi mienɔ nubablaɖaka la kɔm elabena esi mi Levitɔwo míenɔ anyi gbe ma gbe o la, míebia Yehowa se nu si miawɔ la o.”
14 And the priests and the Levites sanctify themselves, to bring up the ark of Jehovah, God of Israel;
Ale Nunɔlawo kple Levitɔwo kɔ wo ɖokuiwo ŋuti hedzra ɖo ɖe Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la ƒe nubablaɖaka la tsɔtsɔ gbɔe ŋu.
15 and sons of the Levites bear the ark of God, as Moses commanded, according to the word of Jehovah, on their shoulder, with staves, above them.
Levitɔwo tsɔ nubablaɖaka la ɖe abɔta kple etsɔtiwo abe ale si Yehowa ɖo na Mose ene la tututu.
16 And David saith to the heads of the Levites to appoint their brethren the singers, with instruments of song, psalteries, and harps, and cymbals, sounding, to lift up with the voice for joy.
Fia David na Levitɔwo ƒo ƒu hadzilawo nu eye wodzi ha sesĩe kple dzidzɔ ɖe saŋkuwo, kasaŋkuwo kple gakogoewo ƒe ɖiɖi ŋu.
17 And the Levites appoint Heman son of Joel, and of his brethren, Asaph son of Berechiah, and of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan son of Kushaiah;
Ame siwo kpɔ hadzidzi kple nu siwo woƒo kpe ɖe eŋu dzi la woe nye Heman, Yoel ƒe vi kple Asaf, Berekia ƒe vi kple Etan, Kusaya ƒe vi, tso Merari ƒe viwo dome.
18 and with them their brethren, the seconds [in rank], Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah; and Obed-Edom and Jeiel the gatekeepers;
Woƒe kpeɖeŋutɔwoe nye Zekaria, Yaaziel, Semiramɔt, Yehiel, Uni, Eliab, Benaya, Maaseya, Matitia, Elifelehu, Mikneya, Obed Edom kple Yeiel, ame siwo nye agbonudzɔlawo.
19 and the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, with cymbals of brass to sound,
Wotia Heman, Asaf kple Etan be woaƒo akɔbligakogoewo
20 and Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jeheil, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries besides virgins,
eye wotia ame enyi siawo: Zekaria, Ariel, Semiramɔt, Yehiel, Uni, Eliab, Maaseya kple Benaya be woaƒo kasaŋku gbevitɔwo ɖe alamot ƒe gbeɖiɖi nu.
21 and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps, on the octave, to oversee.
Ame siwo wotia be woaƒo kasaŋku gbegãtɔwo ɖe seminit ƒe gbeɖiɖi nu woe nye: Matitia, Elifelehu, Mikneya, Obed Edom, Yeiel kple Azazia.
22 And Chenaniah, head of the Levites, [is] over the burden; he instructeth about the burden, for he [is] intelligent.
Hadoɖalae nye Kenania, Levitɔwo Nunɔla; wotiae ɖe eƒe nunya ta.
23 And Berechiah and Elkanah [are] gatekeepers for the ark.
Berekia kple Elkana nye nubablaɖaka la ŋu dzɔlawo.
24 And Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer the priests, are blowing with trumpets before the ark of God; and Obed-Edom and Jehiah [are] gatekeepers for the ark.
Sebania, Yosafat, Netanel, Amasai, Zekaria, Benaya kple Eliezer, ame siwo katã nye nunɔlawo la, nye kpẽkulawo eye wonɔ ŋgɔ na ameawo katã. Obed Edom kple Yehia dzɔ nubablaɖaka la ƒe agbo ŋu.
25 And it is David, and the elders of Israel, and the heads of the thousands, who are going to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah from the house of Obed-Edom with joy;
Ale David kple Israel ƒe dumegãwo kple ame akpewo ƒe aʋafiawo yi Obed Edom ƒe aƒe me be woatsɔ Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la tso afi ma kple aseyetsotso.
26 and it cometh to pass, in God's helping the Levites bearing the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, that they sacrifice seven bullocks and seven rams.
Esi Yehowa kpe ɖe Levitɔ siwo tsɔ Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la ŋu ta la, wotsɔ nyitsu adre kple agbo adre sa vɔe.
27 And David is wrapped in an upper robe of fine linen, and all the Levites who are bearing the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah head of the burden of the singers; and on David [is] an Ephod of linen.
Azɔ la, David do awu ʋlaya si wotɔ kple aklala biɖibiɖi; nenema kee nye Levitɔ siwo tsɔ nubablaɖaka la. Nenema kee nye hadzilawo kple Kenania hã, ame si nɔ hadzihawo nu. David ya do aklala si nɔ biɖibiɖi ƒe kɔmewu ɖe etɔ dzi.
28 And all Israel are bringing up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah with shouting, and with the sound of a cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, sounding with psalteries and harps,
Ale Israel katã tsɔ dzidzɔɣlidodo, lãdzowo kple kpẽwo kuku, gakogoewo kple saŋkuwo kple kasaŋkuwo ƒoƒo sesĩe tsɔ Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la yi Yerusalem.
29 and it cometh to pass, the ark of the covenant of Jehovah is entering in unto the city of David, and Michal daughter of Saul is looking through the window, and seeth king David dancing and playing, and despiseth him in her heart.
Esi Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la va ɖo David ƒe Du la me la, Saul ƒe vinyɔnu, Mixal, nɔ wo kpɔm to fesre nu eye esi wòkpɔ Fia David wònɔ ɣe ɖum, nɔ aglo tum kple dzidzɔ la, edo vloe le eƒe dzime.
