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.
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.
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, “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.”
3 Konsa, David te rasanble tout Israël Jérusalem pou pote fè monte lach Bondye a nan plas ke li te prepare pou li a.
Then David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of Yahweh to the place he had prepared for it.
4 David te rasanble tout fis a Aaron yo ak Levit yo:
David gathered together Aaron's descendants and the Levites.
5 Fis a Kehath yo, Uriel, chèf avèk frè li yo ak san-ven nan moun fanmi li yo;
From the descendants of Kohath, there was Uriel the leader and his relatives, 120 men.
6 fis a Merari yo, Asaja, chèf la ak de-san-ven nan fanmi pa li yo;
From the descendants of Merari, there was Asaiah the leader and his relatives, 220 men.
7 nan fis a Guerschom yo, Joël, chèf la ak san-trant nan fanmi pa li yo;
From the descendants of Gershom, there was Joel the leader and his relatives, 130 men.
8 nan fis a Élitsaphan yo, Schemaeja, chèf la ak de-san nan fanmi pa li yo;
From the descendants of Elizaphan, there was Shemaiah the leader and his relatives, 200 men.
9 nan fis a Hébron yo, Éliel, chèf la ak katre-ven mesye nan fanmi pa li yo;
From the descendants of Hebron, there was Eliel the leader and his relatives, eighty men.
10 nan fis a Uziel yo, Amminadab, chèf la ak san-douz mesye nan fanmi pa li yo.
From the descendants of Uzziel, there was Amminadab the leader and his relatives, 112 men.
11 Alò, David te rele Tsadok ak Abiathar, prèt yo ak Levit yo, Uriel, Asaja, Joël, Schemaeja, Éliel ak Amminadab.
David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, 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.
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.
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.”
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.”
14 Pou sa, prèt yo avèk Levit yo te konsakre yo menm pou pote fè monte lach SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la.
So the priests and the Levites consecrated themselves so they could bring up the ark of Yahweh, the 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.
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.
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.
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.
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;
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.
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.
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.
19 Konsa chantè yo, Héman, Asaph ak Éthan pou fè sonnen senbal bwonz yo;
The musicians Heman, Asaph, and Ethan were appointed to play loud bronze cymbals.
20 epi Zacharie, Aziel, Schemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Éliab, Maaséja ak Benaja avèk ap ki te fè son selon Alamòt la;
Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah played the stringed instruments, set to Alamoth.
21 epi Matthithia, Éliphelé, Miknéia, Obed-Édom, Jeïel avèk Azazia, pou pran avan avèk ap uit kòd pou kondwi chan an.
Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed Edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah led the way with harps set to the Sheminith.
22 Kenania, chèf Levit yo, te an chaj chante a. Li te bay enstriksyon nan chante a paske li te fò.
Kenaniah, leader of the Levites, was the director of the singing because he was a teacher of music.
23 Bérékia avèk Elkana te gadyen pòtay pou lach la.
Berechiah and Elkanah were guards for 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.
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.
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.
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.
26 Akoz Bondye t ap ede Levit ki t ap pote lach akò SENYÈ yo, yo te fè sakrifis sèt towo ak sèt belye.
While God helped the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, they sacrificed 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
