2 Kalpasanna, kinuna ni David, “Dagiti laeng Levita ti mabalin a mangawit iti lakasa ti Dios, ta isuda ti pinili ni Yahweh a mangawit iti daytoy, ken tapno agserbida kenkuana iti agnanayon.”
He said, “Only the descendants of Levi are permitted to carry God’s Sacred Chest, because they are the ones whom God chose to carry it and to serve him forever.”
3 Ket inummong ni David ti entero nga Israel idiay Jerusalem, tapno isang-atda ti lakasa ni Yahweh iti disso nga insaganana para iti daytoy.

David summoned the priests Zadok and Abiathar and these [other] descendants of Levi: Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.
12 Kinunana kadakuada, “Dakayo dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti pamilia dagiti Levita. Idatonyo dagiti bagbagiyo kenni Yahweh, dakayo ken dagiti kakabsatyo, tapno maisang-atyo ti lakasa ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel, iti disso nga insaganak para iti daytoy.
David said to them, “You are the leaders of the clans descended from Levi. You and the other descendants of Levi must purify yourselves, in order to [be able to do this special work for Yahweh. You must] bring the Sacred Chest of Yahweh, the God of us Israelis, up to the place that I have made for it [here in Jerusalem].
13 Saanyo nga inawit daytoy idi un-unana. Isu a nakapungtot kadatayo ni Yahweh a Diostayo, ta saantayo a biniruk isuna wenno saantayo a nagtulnog iti bilinna.”
The first time that we tried to bring it, we did not ask Yahweh how we should carry it {it should be carried}. You [descendants of Levi] were not the ones who carried it, so Yahweh our God punished us.”
14 Isu nga indaton dagiti papadi ken dagiti Levita dagiti bagbagida tapno maisang-atda ti lakasa ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel.
Then the priests and the [other] descendants of Levi [performed the rituals to] purify themselves, in order that it would be proper for them to do the work of carrying the Sacred Chest of Yahweh, the God of us Israeli people.
15 Isu nga inawit dagiti Levita ti lakasa ti Dios babaen kadagiti assiw, kas imbilin ni Moises- a sinurotda dagiti pagalagadan a naited babaen iti sao ni Yahweh.
The descendants of Levi [inserted] the poles [into the rings on] the Sacred Chest so that with them, they could carry the Sacred Chest on their shoulders, like Moses had commanded, and like Yahweh had said that they should.
16 Nakitungtong ni David kadagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti Levita tapno mangdutokda kadagiti kakabsatda nga agbalin a musiko a mangtukar kadagiti instrumento a pagtukar, kadagiti nakuerdasan nga instrumento, kadagiti arpa ken kadagiti piangpiang, ket pagtukarenda iti napigsa ken siraragsakda nga agkanta.
David told the leaders of the descendants of Levi to appoint some of their relatives to sing joyful songs and play lyres, harps, and cymbals [while they were carrying the Sacred Chest].
17 Isu a dinutokan dagiti Levita da Heman a putot a lalaki ni Joel ken maysa kadagiti kakabsatna a lallaki, ni Asaf a putot a lalaki ni Berekias. Nangdutokda met kadagiti kakabaggian a nagtaud iti kaputotan ni Merari ken ni Etan a putot a lalaki ni Kusayas.
So they appointed Heman and his relatives Asaph and Ethan. Heman was the son of Joel; Asaph was the son of Berekiah. Ethan, a descendant of Merari, was Kushaiah’s son.
18 Kadduada dagiti kakabaggianda nga adda iti maikaddua a rangko nga isuda: Zecarias, Jaaziel, Semiramot, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaias, Maaseias, Mattitias, Elifelelu, Mikneias, Obed Edom, ken ni Jeliel a parabantay iti ruangan.

19 Dagiti musiko a da Heman, Asaf ken Etan ket nadutokanda a mangtokar iti napigsa kadagiti bronse a piangpiang.
Heman, Asaph and Ethan sang, and also played bronze cymbals.

22 Ni Kenanias a mangidadaulo kadagiti Levita iti panagkanta ti nangidalan iti panagkanta gapu ta nalaing isuna iti daytoy.
Kenaniah, the leader of the descendants of Levi, directed the singing because he was very skilled at doing that.
23 Da Berekias ken Elkana ti mangbantay iti lakasa.
Berekiah and Elkanah were two of the men who guarded the Sacred Chest.
24 Da Sebanias, Josafat, Netanel, Amasai, Zecarias, Benaias ken Eliezer a papadi ti mangpuyot kadagiti tangguyob iti sangoanan ti lakasa ti Dios. Da Obed Edom ken Jehias ti mangbantay iti lakasa.
The priests Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer were appointed to blow trumpets in front of the Sacred Chest. Obed-Edom and Jehiah also guarded the Sacred Chest.
25 Isu nga agragrag-o nga insang-at ni David, dagiti panglakayen ti Israel ken dagiti panguloen dagiti rinibribu ti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh manipud iti balay ni Obed Edom.
David and the Israeli leaders and the officers who commanded 1,000 soldiers went to bring the Sacred Chest back from Obed-Edom’s house. They were very joyful as they brought it to Jerusalem.
26 Bayat a tinulongan ti Dios dagiti Levita a nangawit iti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh, nagidatonda iti pito a toro a baka ken pito a kalakian a karnero.
God helped the descendants of Levi who carried the Sacred Chest of Yahweh; therefore David and the leaders sacrificed seven bulls and seven (rams/male sheep) [to thank him].
27 Nakakawes ni David iti pagan-anay a naaramid iti kasayaatan a lino, kasta met dagiti Levita a nakaawit iti lakasa, dagiti kumakanta, ken ni Kenanias a mangidadaulo iti kanta a kadduana dagiti kumakanta. Nakasuot ni David iti lino nga efod.
All the descendants of Levi who carried the Sacred Chest, all the singers, and Kenaniah, the man who directed those who sang, wore robes of fine white linen and sacred vests made of fine linen. David also wore a sacred vest made of white linen.
28 Isu nga insang-at dagiti amin nga Israelita ti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh kabayatan nga agpukpukkawda a siraragsak, ken kadagiti uni dagiti tangguyob, dagiti piangpiang, ken dagiti nakuerdasan nga instrumento ken dagiti arpa.
So all of the Israeli people joined in bringing the Sacred Chest up [to Jerusalem]. They shouted [joyfully, while the musicians] blew horns and trumpets, and played cymbals, lyres, and harps.
29 Ngem bayat iti pannakaisangpet ti lakasa ti tulag iti siudad ni David, timman-aw iti tawa ni Mical nga anak ni Saul. Nakitana nga agsalsala ni Ari David ken agramrambak. Isu nga linaisna isuna iti pusona.
While they were bringing the Sacred Chest into Jerusalem, Saul’s daughter Michal watched them, looking out of a window. When she saw King David dancing and celebrating, she despised him.
