1 Tarihi 15
1 Bayan Dawuda ya yi gine-gine wa kansa a Birnin Dawuda, sai ya shirya wuri domin akwatin alkawarin Allah, ya kuma kafa tenti dominsa.
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 Sa’an nan Dawuda ya ce, “Babu wani sai ko Lawiyawa kaɗai za su ɗauka akwatin alkawarin Allah, gama Ubangiji ya zaɓe su su ɗauka akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji su kuma yi hidima a gabansa har abada.”
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 Dawuda ya tattara dukan Isra’ila a Urushalima don su haura da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji zuwa wurin da aka shirya dominsa.
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 Ya tattara zuriyar Haruna a wuri ɗaya da kuma Lawiyawa.
Certainly, there were both the sons of Aaron and the Levites:
5 Daga zuriyar Kohat, Uriyel shugaba da dangi 120;
From the sons of Kohath, Uriel was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred twenty.

10 daga zuriyar Uzziyel, Amminadab shugaba da dangi 112.
From the sons of Uzziel: Amminadab was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred twelve.
11 Sa’an nan Dawuda ya kira Zadok da Abiyatar, firistoci, tare da Uriyel, Asahiya, Yowel, Shemahiya, Eliyel da Amminadab, Lawiyawa.
And David summoned the priests, Zadok and Abiathar, and the Levites: Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.
12 Ya ce musu, “Ku ne kawunan iyalan Lawiyawa; ku da’yan’uwanku Lawiyawa, sai ku tsarkake kanku ku hauro da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, zuwa wurin da na shirya dominsa.
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 Domin ku, Lawiyawa ba ku haura da shi da farko ba ne ya sa Ubangiji Allahnmu ya husata a kanmu. Ba mu tambaye shi game da yadda za mu yi shi a hanyar da aka ƙayyade ba.”
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 Saboda haka firistoci da Lawiyawa suka tsarkake kansu don su hauro da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila.
Therefore, the priests and the Levites were sanctified, so that they might carry the ark of the Lord God of Israel.
15 Sai Lawiyawa suka ɗauki akwatin alkawarin Allah da sanduna a kafaɗunsu, kamar yadda Musa ya umarta bisa ga maganar Ubangiji.
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 Dawuda ya faɗa wa shugabannin Lawiyawa su sa’yan’uwansu su zama mawaƙa don su rera waƙoƙi masu farin ciki, da kayayyakin bushe-bushe, da kaɗe-kaɗe, molaye, garayu da ganguna.
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 Saboda haka Lawiyawa suka zaɓi Heman ɗan Yowel, da Asaf ɗan Berekiya daga cikin’yan’uwansu. Daga iyalin Merari kuma aka zaɓi Etan ɗan Kushahiya.
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 Tare da su kuma’yan’uwansa da suke biye bisa ga matsayi. Wato, Zakariya, Ya’aziyel, Shemiramot, Yehiyel, Unni, Eliyab, Ben, Ma’asehiya, Mattitiya, Elifelehu, Miknehiya, Obed-Edom da Yehiyel, matsaran ƙofofi.
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 Mawaƙan nan Heman, Asaf da Etan, ne za su buga kugen tagulla.
Now the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were sounding out with cymbals of brass.
20 Zakariya, Aziyel, Shemiramot, Yehiyel, Unni, Eliyab, Ma’asehiya da Benahiya, ne za su kaɗa molaye masu murya sama-sama, bisa ga alamot.
And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah were singing mysteries with the psalteries.
21 Mattitiya, Elifelehu, Miknehiya, Obed-Edom, Yehiyel da Azaziya, ne za su ja garayu masu murya ƙasa-ƙasa bisa ga sheminit.
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 Kenaniya, shugaban Lawiyawa, shi ne mai bi da waƙoƙi. Wannan hakkinsa ne, gama shi gwani ne a wannan fanni.
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 Berekiya da Elkana, ne za su zama masu lura da ƙofofi domin akwatin alkawarin.
And Berechiah and Elkanah were porters of the ark.
24 Shebaniya, Yoshafat, Netanel, Amasai, Zakariya, Benahiya da Eliyezer firistoci, su ne za su busa ƙahoni a gaban akwatin alkawarin Allah. Obed-Edom da Yehiya su ma za su zama masu lura da ƙofofi domin akwatin alkawarin.
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 Sai Dawuda da dattawan Isra’ila da shugabannin ƙungiyoyi dubu suka haura don su kawo akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji daga gidan Obed-Edom, da farin ciki.
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 Domin Allah ya taimaki Lawiyawan da suke ɗaukar akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji, aka miƙa hadayar bijimai bakwai da raguna bakwai.
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 To, fa, Dawuda yana saye da kyakkyawar rigar lilin, kamar yadda dukan Lawiyawa waɗanda suke ɗaukar akwatin alkawarin suka sa, da kuma yadda mawaƙa, da Kenaniya, wanda yake bi da waƙar mawaƙan ya sa. Dawuda kuma ya sa efod lilin.
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 Sai dukan Isra’ila suka kawo akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji da sowa, da ƙarar ƙahonin raguna da busan ƙahoni, da na ganguna, suna kuma kaɗa molaye da garayu.
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 Yayinda akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji yake shiga Birnin Dawuda, Mikal’yar Shawulu ta leƙa daga taga. Sa’ad da ta ga Sarki Dawuda yana rawa yana shagali, sai ta rena masa wayo a zuciyarta.
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.
