Sie Chronicle 15

1 David el musaela kutu lohm in Siti sel David tuh in lohm sel sifacna. El oayapa akoo sie acn nu ke Tuptup in Wuleang lun God, ac el tulokunak sie lohm nuknuk nu kac.

David constructed buildings for himself in the City of David, and he prepared a place for the ark of God and pitched a tent for it.

2 Na David el fahk, “Mwet Levi mukena pa fal in us Tuptup in Wuleang, mweyen elos pa sulosolla sin LEUM GOD tuh elos in us, ac in kulansap nu sel nwe tok.”

Then David said, “No one but the Levites may carry the ark of God, because the LORD has chosen them to carry the ark of the LORD and to minister before Him forever.”

3 Ouinge David el pangoneni mwet Israel nukewa nu Jerusalem, tuh elos in use Tuptup in Wuleang nu ke acn se el akoela nu kac.

And David assembled all Israel in Jerusalem to bring up the ark of the LORD to the place he had prepared for it.

4 Tukun ma inge David el sapla nu sin mwet in fwil natul Aaron ac mwet Levi.

Then he gathered together the descendants of Aaron and the Levites:

5 Ke sou lulap lal Kohath in sruf lun mwet Levi, Uriel el mwet kol, ac mwet siofok longoul in sou lal welul.

From the Kohathites, Uriel the chief and 120 of his relatives;

6 Sin sou lal Merari, Asaiah el mwet kol, ac mwet luofoko longoul in sou lal welul.

from the Merarites, Asaiah the chief and 220 of his relatives;

7 Sin sou lal Gershon, Joel el mwet kol, ac mwet siofok tolngoul in sou lal welul.

from the Gershomites, Joel the chief and 130 of his relatives;

8 Sin sou lal Elizaphan, Shemaiah el mwet kol, ac mwet luofoko in sou lal welul.

from the Elizaphanites, Shemaiah the chief and 200 of his relatives;

9 Sin sou lal Hebron, Eliel el mwet kol, ac mwet oalngoul in sou lal welul.

from the Hebronites, Eliel the chief and 80 of his relatives;

10 Sin sou lal Uzziel, Amminadab el mwet kol, ac mwet siofok singoul luo in sou lal welul.

and from the Uzzielites, Amminadab the chief and 112 of his relatives.

11 David el solani mwet tol Zadok ac Abiathar, ac mwet Levi onkosr inge: Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, ac Amminadab.

David summoned the priests Zadok and Abiathar and the Levites Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.

12 El fahk nu sin mwet Levi, “Kowos pa mwet kol lun sou lulap lun mwet Levi. Kowos in aknasnasye kowos oayapa mwet Levi wiowos, tuh kowos in ku in use Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD lun Israel nu in acn se nga akoela nu kac.

And he said to them, “You are the heads of the Levitical families. You and your relatives must consecrate yourselves so that you may bring the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel, to the place I have prepared for it.

13 Ke sripen kowos wangin ke pacl se meet ma kut tuh srike in use, na pa LEUM GOD lasr El tuh kai kut mweyen kut tuh tia oru akfulat su fal in orek nu sel.”

It was because you Levites were not with us the first time that the LORD our God burst forth in anger against us. For we did not consult Him about the proper order.”

14 Na mwet tol ac mwet Levi elos aknasnasyalos tuh elos in mau ku in moklema Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD lun Israel.

So the priests and Levites consecrated themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel.

15 Mwet Levi elos us Tuptup uh finpisalos ke srenenu, in oana ke LEUM GOD El tuh sapkin nu sel Moses.

And the Levites carried the ark of God on their shoulders with the poles, as Moses had commanded in accordance with the word of the LORD.

16 David el sap mwet kol lun mwet Levi in sulela kutu mwet lalos in on, ac kutu in srital ke harp ac cymbal, in fahkak pusren engan lulap.

David also told the leaders of the Levites to appoint their relatives as singers to lift up their voices with joy, accompanied by musical instruments—harps, lyres, and cymbals.

17 Ouinge mwet Levi elos sulela mwet inge liki sou lun mwet on: Heman wen natul Joel, oayapa sie mukul in sou lal, su Asaph wen natul Berechiah; ac Ethan wen natul Kushaiah, su ma wialos ke sou lal Merari;

So the Levites appointed Heman son of Joel; from his brothers, Asaph son of Berechiah; from their brothers the Merarites, Ethan son of Kushaiah;

18 na mukul wialtal in fwil se akluo: Zechariah, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, ac mwet luo su liyaung mutunpot: Obed Edom ac Jeiel.

and with them their brothers next in rank: Zechariah, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, and the gatekeepers Obed-edom and Jeiel.

19 Mwet in srital ke cymbal orek ke bronze pa Heman, Asaph, ac Ethan.

The musicians Heman, Asaph, and Ethan were to sound the bronze cymbals.

20 Mwet in srital ke harp ma fulat pusra uh pa Zechariah, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah ac Benaiah.

Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah were to play the harps according to Alamoth.

21 Mwet inge pa srital ke harp ma toasr pusra uh: Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed Edom, Jeiel, ac Azaziah.

And Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah were to lead the music with lyres according to Sheminith.

22 Elos sulella Chenaniah in kol mwet on inge nukewa lun mwet Levi, mweyen yohk etu lal ke on.

Chenaniah the head Levite was the director of the music because he was highly skilled.

23 Mwet in taran Tuptup in Wuleang pa Berechiah, Elkanah,

Berechiah and Elkanah were to be guardians of the ark.

24 Obed Edom, ac Jehiah. Mwet in fahsr meet liki Tuptup uh ac ukya mwe ukuk pa mwet tol inge: Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, ac Eliezer.

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 also to be guardians of the ark.

25 Tokosra David, ac mwet kol lun mwet Israel, ac captain lun un mwet mweun, elos tukeni som in use Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD liki lohm sel Obed Edom, ac elos engan ma lulap.

So David, the elders of Israel, and the commanders of thousands went with rejoicing to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD from the house of Obed-edom.

26 Elos kisakin cow mukul itkosr ac sheep mukul itkosr mwe akpwayeye lah God El ac fah kasru mwet Levi su us Tuptup in Wuleang.

And because God helped the Levites who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.

27 David el nukum sie nuknuk loeloes orek ke linen wowo. Mwet on nukewa, ac Chenaniah su mwet kol lalos, oayapa mwet Levi su us Tuptup uh, elos nukewa nukum nuknuk linen oana David. David el oayapa nukum sie ephod lun mwet tol orekla ke linen.

Now David was dressed in a robe of fine linen, as were all the Levites who were carrying the ark, as well as the singers and Chenaniah, the director of music for the singers. David also wore a linen ephod.

28 Na mwet Israel nukewa elos welulos fahsr ac usak Tuptup in Wuleang nu Jerusalem ke pusren engan ac sasa, oayapa pusren mwe ukuk, trumpet, cymbal, ac harp.

So all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, with the sounding of rams’ horns and trumpets, and with cymbals and the music of harps and lyres.

29 Ke Tuptup sac utyak nu in siti uh, na Michal, acn natul Saul, el ngetla liki winto uh ac liyal Tokosra David ke el tacn ac onsrosro ke engan lulap, na Michal el arulana toasr sel kac.

As the ark of the covenant of the LORD was entering the City of David, Saul’s daughter Michal looked down from a window and saw King David dancing and celebrating, and she despised him in her heart.
