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.
And [David] made him houses in the city of David, and prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent.
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, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites: for them hath the LORD chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister to him for ever.
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 David assembled all Israel to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD to its place, which he had prepared for it.
4 David te rasanble tout fis a Aaron yo ak Levit yo:
And David assembled the children of Aaron, and the Levites:
5 Fis a Kehath yo, Uriel, chèf avèk frè li yo ak san-ven nan moun fanmi li yo;
Of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twenty:
6 fis a Merari yo, Asaja, chèf la ak de-san-ven nan fanmi pa li yo;
Of the sons of Merari; Asaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty:
7 nan fis a Guerschom yo, Joël, chèf la ak san-trant nan fanmi pa li yo;
Of the sons of Gershom; Joel the chief, and his brethren a hundred and thirty:
8 nan fis a Élitsaphan yo, Schemaeja, chèf la ak de-san nan fanmi pa li yo;
Of the sons of Elizaphan; Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred:
9 nan fis a Hébron yo, Éliel, chèf la ak katre-ven mesye nan fanmi pa li yo;
Of the sons of Hebron; Eliel the chief, and his brethren eighty:
10 nan fis a Uziel yo, Amminadab, chèf la ak san-douz mesye nan fanmi pa li yo.
Of the sons of Uzziel: Amminadab the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twelve.
11 Alò, David te rele Tsadok ak Abiathar, prèt yo ak Levit yo, Uriel, Asaja, Joël, Schemaeja, Éliel ak Amminadab.
And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and 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 said to them, Ye [are] the chief of the fathers of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, [both] ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of the LORD 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.”
For because ye [did it] not at the first, the LORD our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order.
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 sanctified themselves to bring up 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 children of the Levites bore the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staffs on it, as Moses commanded, according to the word of the LORD.
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 chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren [to be] the singers with instruments of music, psalteries, and harps, and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy.
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 the son of Joel; and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brethren, 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 their brethren of the second [degree], 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 porters.
19 Konsa chantè yo, Héman, Asaph ak Éthan pou fè sonnen senbal bwonz yo;
So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, [were appointed] to sound 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, with psalteries on Alamoth;
21 epi Matthithia, Éliphelé, Miknéia, Obed-Édom, Jeïel avèk Azazia, pou pran avan avèk ap uit kòd pou kondwi chan an.
And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to excel.
22 Kenania, chèf Levit yo, te an chaj chante a. Li te bay enstriksyon nan chante a paske li te fò.
And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, [was] for song: he instructed about the song, because he [was] skillful.
23 Bérékia avèk Elkana te gadyen pòtay pou lach la.
And Berechiah and Elkanah [were] door-keepers 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.
And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer the priests, did blow with the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obed-edom and Jehiah [were] door-keepers 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 and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from the house of Obed-edom with joy.
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 it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that they offered seven bullocks 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.
And David [was] clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bore the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: David also [had] upon him an ephod of linen.
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.
Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise with 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 it came to pass, [as] the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul, looking out at a window, saw king David dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart.
