Pirmā Laiku 15

1 Un Dāvids uztaisīja sev namus Dāvida pilsētā un sataisīja vietu Dieva šķirstam un tam uzcēla telti.

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 Tad Dāvids sacīja: neviens lai nenes Dieva šķirstu kā vien Leviti, jo tos Tas Kungs ir izredzējis, nest Dieva šķirstu un viņam kalpot mūžīgi.

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 Un Dāvids sapulcēja visu Israēli uz Jeruzālemi, novest Dieva šķirstu savā vietā, ko viņš tam bija sataisījis.

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 Un Dāvids sasauca Ārona bērnus un Levitus:

He summoned the descendants of Aaron, [who was the first Supreme Priest, ] and the other descendants of Levi.

5 No Kehāta bērniem virsnieku Uriēli ar saviem brāļiem, simt un divdesmit;

120 descendants of Kohath, who was Levi’s second son, came, with Uriel their leader.

6 No Merarus bērniem virsnieku Asaju ar saviem brāļiem, divsimt un divdesmit;

There were 220 descendants of Merari, Levi’s third son, who came, with Asaiah their leader.

7 No Ģerzoma bērniem virsnieku Joēli ar saviem brāļiem, simt un trīsdesmit.

There were 130 descendants of Gershon, Levi’s first son, who came, with Joel their leader.

8 No Elicafana bērniem virsnieku Šemaju ar saviem brāļiem, divsimt;

There were 200 people from Elizaphan’s clan who came, with Shemaiah their leader.

9 No Hebrona bērniem virsnieku Eliēli ar saviem brāļiem, astoņdesmit;

There were 80 people from Hebron’s clan who came, with Eliel their leader.

10 No Uziēļa bērniem virsnieku Aminadabu ar saviem brāļiem, simt un divpadsmit.

And there were 112 people from Uzziel’s clan who came, with Amminadab their leader.

11 Un Dāvids aicināja priesterus Cadoku un Abjataru, un Levitus Uriēli, Azaju un Joēli, Šemaju un Eliēli un Aminadabu

David summoned the priests Zadok and Abiathar and these [other] descendants of Levi: Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.

12 Un uz tiem sacīja: jūs Levitu tēvu namu virsnieki, svētījaties paši ar saviem brāļiem un atvedat Tā Kunga, Israēla Dieva, šķirstu, kur es tam vietu sataisījis.

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 Jo viņu reiz, kad jūs klāt nebijāt, Tas Kungs, mūsu Dievs, izlauza robu mūsu starpā, tāpēc ka to nemeklējām, kā pienācās.

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 Tad tie priesteri un Leviti svētījās, atvest Tā Kunga, Israēla Dieva, šķirstu.

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 Un Levitu bērni nesa Dieva šķirstu, itin kā Mozus bija pavēlējis pēc Tā Kunga vārda, ar kārtīm uz saviem kamiešiem.

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 Un Dāvids pavēlēja Levitu virsniekiem sarīkot savus brāļus, tos dziedātājus, ar spēlēm, ar soma stabulēm, ar koklēm un pulkstenīšiem, skaņi dziedāt un balsi pacelt ar prieku.

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 Tad Leviti iecēla Hemanu, Joēļa dēlu, un no viņa brāļiem Asafu, Bereķijas dēlu, un no Merarus bērniem, saviem brāļiem, Etanu, Kuzajas dēlu,

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 Un ar šiem savus brāļus no otras kārtas, Zahariju, Benu un Jaēziēli un Zemiramotu un Jejeēli un Unnu, Elijabu un Benaju un Maāseju un Matitiju un Eliveleju un Mikneju un ObedEdomu un Jeīeli, tos vārtu sargus.

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.

19 Un dziedātāji bija Hemans, Asafs un Etans, skandinādami ar vara pulkstenīšiem,

Heman, Asaph and Ethan sang, and also played bronze cymbals.

20 Un Zaharija un Aziēls un Zemiramots un Jeīels un Unnus un Elijabs un Maāseja un Benaja ar smalki skanīgām soma stabulēm,

Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah played lyres.

21 Un Matitija un Elivelejus un Mikneja un ObedEdoms un Jeīels un Azazija, priekšā dziedādami ar astoņu stīgu koklēm.

Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, Jeiel and Azaziah played harps.

22 Un Kananaja bija Levitu vadonis, (dziesmas) uzņemt, viņš tos mācīja uzņemt, jo viņš bija saprātīgs.

Kenaniah, the leader of the descendants of Levi, directed the singing because he was very skilled at doing that.

23 Un Bereķija un Elkanus bija šķirsta vārtu sargi.

Berekiah and Elkanah were two of the men who guarded the Sacred Chest.

24 Un Zabanija un Jehošafats un Netaneēls un Amasajus un Zaharija un Benaja un Eliēzers, tie priesteri, pūta trumetes Dieva šķirsta priekšā, un ObedEdoms un Jeķija bija šķirsta vārtu sargi.

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 Tā Dāvids un Israēla vecaji un virsnieki pār tūkstošiem nogāja, atvest Tā Kunga derības šķirstu no ObedEdoma nama ar prieku.

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 Un kad Dievs tiem Levitiem palīdzēja, kas Tā Kunga derības šķirstu nesa, tad tie upurēja septiņus vēršus un septiņus aunus.

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 Un Dāvids bija ģērbies nātnu svārkos un tāpat visi Leviti, kas to šķirstu nesa, un tie dziedātāji un Kananija, tas dziedātāju vadonis; Dāvidam bija arī linu plecusega.

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 Tā viss Israēls nesa augšām Tā Kunga derības šķirstu ar gavilēšanu un bazūņu skaņu un ar trumetēm un ar pulkstenīšiem, un spēlēja ar soma stabulēm un koklēm.

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 Un kad Tā Kunga derības šķirsts nonāca Dāvida pilī, tad Mikale, Saula meita, skatījās pa logu ārā un redzēja ķēniņu Dāvidu dejojam un spēlējam, un tā to nicināja savā sirdī.

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.
