1 Istwa 15
1 Alò, David te bati kay pou li menm nan lavil David. Epi li te prepare yon plas pou lach Bondye a e te monte yon tant pou li.
Also, he made houses for himself in the City of David. And built a place for the ark of God, and he set up a tent for it.
2 Alò, David te di: “Pèsòn pa pou pote lach Bondye a sof ke Levit yo, paske SENYÈ a te chwazi yo pou pote lach Bondye a e pou fè sèvis a Li pou tout tan.”
Then David said: “It is illicit for anyone to carry the ark of God except the Levites, whom the Lord chose to carry it and to minister to himself, even unto eternity.”
3 Konsa, David te rasanble tout Israël Jérusalem pou pote fè monte lach Bondye a nan plas ke li te prepare pou li a.
And he gathered all of Israel in Jerusalem, so that the ark of God might be brought into its place, which he had prepared for it.
4 David te rasanble tout fis a Aaron yo ak Levit yo:
Certainly, there were both the sons of Aaron and the Levites:
5 Fis a Kehath yo, Uriel, chèf avèk frè li yo ak san-ven nan moun fanmi li yo;
From the sons of Kohath, Uriel was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred twenty.
6 fis a Merari yo, Asaja, chèf la ak de-san-ven nan fanmi pa li yo;
From the sons of Merari: Asaiah was the leader, and his brothers were two hundred twenty.
7 nan fis a Guerschom yo, Joël, chèf la ak san-trant nan fanmi pa li yo;
From the sons of Gershom: Joel was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred thirty.
8 nan fis a Élitsaphan yo, Schemaeja, chèf la ak de-san nan fanmi pa li yo;
From the sons of Elizaphan: Shemaiah was the leader, and his brothers were two hundred.
9 nan fis a Hébron yo, Éliel, chèf la ak katre-ven mesye nan fanmi pa li yo;
From the sons of Hebron: Eliel was the leader, and his brothers were eighty.
10 nan fis a Uziel yo, Amminadab, chèf la ak san-douz mesye nan fanmi pa li yo.
From the sons of Uzziel: Amminadab was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred twelve.
11 Alò, David te rele Tsadok ak Abiathar, prèt yo ak Levit yo, Uriel, Asaja, Joël, Schemaeja, Éliel ak Amminadab.
And David summoned the priests, Zadok and Abiathar, and the Levites: Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.
12 Li te di yo: “Nou se chèf lakay zansèt nou yo pou Levit yo. Konsakre nou menm, ni nou, ni manm fanmi pa nou, pou nou kapab pote fè monte lach SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, rive nan plas ke m te prepare pou li a.
And he said to them: “You who are the leaders of the Levitical families, be sanctified with your brothers, and bring the ark of the Lord God of Israel to the place that has been prepared for it.
13 Akoz nou pa t pote l nan kòmansman an, SENYÈ a, Bondye pa nou an, te fè yon sèl pete sou nou, paske nou pa t chache Li selon règ li yo.”
Otherwise, as it was before, when the Lord struck us because you were not present, so also it might be now, if we do what is illicit.”
14 Pou sa, prèt yo avèk Levit yo te konsakre yo menm pou pote fè monte lach SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la.
Therefore, the priests and the Levites were sanctified, so that they might carry the ark of the Lord God of Israel.
15 Fis Levit yo te pote lach Bondye a sou zepòl pa yo avèk poto ki tache ladann, kon Moïse te kòmande yo pa pawòl SENYÈ a.
And the sons of Levi took the ark of God, just as Moses had instructed, in accord with the word of the Lord, upon their shoulders by the bars.
16 Epi David te pale avèk chèf Levit yo, pou dispoze fanmi pa yo, chantè yo, avèk lenstriman mizik yo, ap yo, gita yo, senbal ki sonnen fò yo, pou fè leve kri lajwa yo.
And David spoke to the leaders of the Levites, so that they might appoint, from their brothers, singers with musical instruments, specifically, psalteries, and harps, and cymbals, so that a joyful noise might resound on high.
17 Konsa, Levit yo te chwazi Héman, fis a Joël la e soti nan fanmi pa li a, Asaph, fis a Bérékia a; epi soti nan fis a Merari yo avèk fanmi pa yo, Éthan, fis a Kuschaja a;
And they appointed from the Levites: Heman, the son of Joel; and from his brothers, Asaph, the son of Berechiah; and truly, from their brothers, the sons of Merari: Ethan, the son of Kushaiah.
18 epi avèk yo, fanmi a dezyèm nivo a, Zacharie, Ben, Jaaziel, Schemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Éliab, Benaja, Maaséja, Matthithja, Éliphelé, avèk Miknéja, ak pòtè yo, Obed-Édom avèk Jeïel, gadyen pòt yo.
And with them were their brothers in the second rank: Zechariah, and Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jahiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, who were gatekeepers.
19 Konsa chantè yo, Héman, Asaph ak Éthan pou fè sonnen senbal bwonz yo;
Now the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were sounding out with cymbals of brass.
20 epi Zacharie, Aziel, Schemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Éliab, Maaséja ak Benaja avèk ap ki te fè son selon Alamòt la;
And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah were singing mysteries with the psalteries.
21 epi Matthithia, Éliphelé, Miknéia, Obed-Édom, Jeïel avèk Azazia, pou pran avan avèk ap uit kòd pou kondwi chan an.
Then Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah and Obededom, and Jeiel and Azaziah were singing a song of victory with the harps, for the octave.
22 Kenania, chèf Levit yo, te an chaj chante a. Li te bay enstriksyon nan chante a paske li te fò.
Now Chenaniah, the leader of the Levites, was foremost over the prophecies, in order to mark out in advance the melodies. For indeed, he was very skillful.
23 Bérékia avèk Elkana te gadyen pòtay pou lach la.
And Berechiah and Elkanah were porters of the ark.
24 Schebania, Josaphat, Nethaneel, Amasaï, Zacharie, Benaja ak Éliézer, prèt yo te soufle twonpèt yo devan lach a Bondye a. Obed-Édom avèk Jechitja te gadyen pòtay lach la.
And the priests, Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethanel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, were sounding the trumpets before the ark of God. And Obededom and Jehiah were porters of the ark.
25 Konsa David, avèk lansyen Israël yo, avèk kapitèn a dè milye yo, te ale pou pote fè monte lach akò SENYÈ a soti lakay Obed-Édom nan mitan yon gran rejwisans.
Therefore, David, and all those greater by birth of Israel, and the tribunes, went to carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord from the house of Obededom with rejoicing.
26 Akoz Bondye t ap ede Levit ki t ap pote lach akò SENYÈ yo, yo te fè sakrifis sèt towo ak sèt belye.
And when God had assisted the Levites, who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord, they immolated seven bulls and seven rams.
27 Alò, David te abiye avèk yon manto len fen, menm avèk tout Levit ki t ap pote lach la, e chantè yo avèk Kenania, chèf mizik pami chantè yo. Epi David te abiye osi ak yon efòd an len.
Now David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, as were all the Levites who were carrying the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah, the leader of the prophecy among the singers. But David was also clothed with a linen ephod.
28 Konsa, tout Israël te pote monte lach akò SENYÈ a avèk gwo kri, avèk son a kòn soufle, avèk twonpèt, avèk gwo bwi a senbal, avèk ap ak gita.
And all of Israel were leading back the ark of the covenant of the Lord with jubilation, sounding out with the noise of horns, and trumpets, and cymbals, and psalteries, and harps.
29 Li te rive lè lach akò SENYÈ a te vini nan vil David la, ke Mical, fi a Saül la, te gade deyò fenèt la e te wè Wa David t ap vòltije e selebre. Konsa, li te meprize li nan kè l.
And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord had arrived in the City of David, Michal, the daughter of Saul, gazing through a window, saw king David dancing and playing, and she despised him in her heart.
