1 Tawarikh 15
1 Daud mendirikan rumah-rumah untuk dirinya di Kota Daud, dan menyiapkan tempat untuk Peti Perjanjian Allah lalu memasang kemah bagi Peti itu.
David [commanded his workers to] build some houses for him in Jerusalem. He also told them to set up a tent in which to put the Sacred Chest.
2 Daud berkata, "Hanya orang Lewi boleh mengangkat Peti Perjanjian TUHAN, sebab merekalah yang dipilih TUHAN untuk memikul Peti itu dan mengabdi kepada-Nya untuk selama-lamanya."
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 Maka Daud memanggil semua orang Israel datang ke Yerusalem untuk memindahkan Peti Perjanjian TUHAN ke tempat yang telah disiapkannya.
David summoned all the people of Israel to come to Jerusalem. He wanted the Sacred Chest of Yahweh to be put in the place that he had made for it.
4 Lalu Daud menyuruh keturunan Harun dan orang Lewi berkumpul.
He summoned the descendants of Aaron, [who was the first Supreme Priest, ] and the other descendants of Levi.
5 Maka dari kaum Kehat, suku Lewi, tampillah Uriel yang memimpin 120 anggota kaumnya.
120 descendants of Kohath, who was Levi’s second son, came, with Uriel their leader.
6 Dari kaum Merari tampil Asaya yang memimpin 220 orang.
There were 220 descendants of Merari, Levi’s third son, who came, with Asaiah their leader.
7 Dari kaum Gerson tampil Yoel yang memimpin 130 orang.
There were 130 descendants of Gershon, Levi’s first son, who came, with Joel their leader.
8 Dari kaum Elsafan tampil Semaya yang memimpin 200 orang.
There were 200 people from Elizaphan’s clan who came, with Shemaiah their leader.
9 Dari kaum Hebron tampil Eliel yang memimpin 80 orang.
There were 80 people from Hebron’s clan who came, with Eliel their leader.
10 Dan dari kaum Uziel tampil Aminadab yang memimpin 112 orang.
And there were 112 people from Uzziel’s clan who came, with Amminadab their leader.
11 Lalu Daud memanggil Imam Zadok dan Imam Abyatar serta keenam orang Lewi itu, yakni: Uriel, Asaya, Yoel, Semaya, Eliel dan Aminadab.
David summoned the priests Zadok and Abiathar and these [other] descendants of Levi: Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.
12 Kata Daud kepada mereka, "Kalian adalah pemimpin kaum di dalam suku Lewi. Karena itu, hendaklah kalian dan orang-orang Lewi lainnya menyucikan diri supaya dapat memindahkan Peti Perjanjian TUHAN, Allah Israel, ke tempat yang telah kusediakan.
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 Ketika Peti itu untuk pertama kali dipindahkan, kalian tidak berada di situ untuk membawanya. Karena itu TUHAN, Allah kita, menghukum kita sebab kita menyembah Dia tidak sesuai dengan kemauan-Nya."
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 Jadi, para imam dan orang Lewi menyucikan diri supaya dapat memindahkan Peti Perjanjian TUHAN, Allah 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 Dan pada waktu Peti itu dipindahkan, mereka mengangkatnya di atas pundak mereka dengan kayu pengusung, menurut peraturan yang diberikan TUHAN melalui Musa.
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 Daud juga menyuruh para pemimpin orang-orang Lewi itu supaya menugaskan beberapa orang dari suku mereka untuk menyanyi dan memainkan lagu-lagu gembira pada kecapi dan simbal.
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 Dari antara keluarga-keluarga penyanyi, mereka memilih orang-orang berikut ini untuk memainkan simbal perunggu: Heman anak Yoel bersama sanak saudaranya yang bernama Asaf anak Berekhya, dan Etan anak Kusaya dari kaum Merari. Untuk mengiringi mereka serta memainkan kecapi bernada tinggi dipilih orang-orang Lewi yang berikut ini: Zakharia, Yaaziel, Semiramot, Yehiel, Uni, Eliab, Maaseya, dan Benaya. Untuk memainkan kecapi bernada rendah dipilih orang-orang Lewi berikut ini: Matica, Elifele, Mikneya, Azazya, dan dua pengawal Rumah TUHAN, yaitu Obed-Edom dan Yeiel.
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.
There was also another group of descendants of Levi who were appointed: Zechariah, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, and two of the Sacred Tent gatekeepers, Obed-Edom and Jeiel.
Heman, Asaph and Ethan sang, and also played bronze cymbals.
Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah played lyres.
Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, Jeiel and Azaziah played harps.
22 Kenanya dipilih untuk mengepalai para pemain musik dari suku Lewi itu, sebab ia ahli musik.
Kenaniah, the leader of the descendants of Levi, directed the singing because he was very skilled at doing that.
23 Berekhya dan Elkana bersama Obed-Edom dan Yehia dipilih menjadi pengawal Peti Perjanjian TUHAN. Para imam berikut ini: Sebanya, Yosafat, Netaneel, Amasai, Zakharia, Benaya dan Eliezer dipilih untuk membunyikan trompet di depan Peti itu.
Berekiah and Elkanah were two of the men who guarded the Sacred Chest.
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 Maka pergilah Raja Daud bersama para pemimpin Israel dan perwira-perwira ke rumah Obed-Edom untuk mengambil Peti Perjanjian itu dengan perayaan besar.
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 Tujuh sapi jantan dan tujuh domba dipersembahkan kepada Allah karena Ia telah menolong orang Lewi yang mengangkat Peti Perjanjian itu.
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 Pada waktu itu Daud memakai jubah dari kain lenan halus, begitu juga para pemain musik dan Kenanya pemimpin mereka serta orang-orang Lewi yang mengangkat Peti Perjanjian itu. Daud juga memakai baju 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 Seluruh umat Israel pergi mengiringi Peti Perjanjian sampai ke Yerusalem dengan sorak sorai gembira, bunyi trompet, nafiri, simbal dan kecapi.
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 Ketika Peti itu sedang dibawa masuk ke dalam kota, Mikhal putri Saul menjenguk dari jendela dan melihat Raja Daud menari-nari serta bersuka ria. Maka Mikhal merasa muak melihat Daud.
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.
