1 Masolo ya Kala 15
1 Tango Davidi asilisaki kotonga bandako mpo na ye moko kati na engumba ya Davidi, abongisaki esika mpo na Sanduku ya Nzambe mpe atelemisaki ndako ya kapo mpo na yango.
And David made him houses in the city of David, and prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent.
2 Davidi alobaki: « Moto moko te, longola kaka Balevi, akoki komema Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Nzambe, pamba te Yawe aponaki bango mpo na komema Sanduku na Ye mpe kosala mosala na Ye mpo na libela. »
Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites: for them has the LORD chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister to him for ever.
3 Davidi asangisaki kati na Yelusalemi bana nyonso ya Isalaele mpo na komema Sanduku ya Yawe na esika oyo abongisaki mpo na yango.
And David gathered all Israel together to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD to his place, which he had prepared for it.
4 Davidi asangisaki lisusu bakitani ya Aron mpe Balevi:
And David assembled the children of Aaron, and the Levites:
5 Mpo na bakitani ya Keati: mokambi Urieli elongo na bandeko na ye ya libota nkama moko na tuku mibale;
Of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his brothers an hundred and twenty:
6 mpo na bakitani ya Merari: mokambi Asaya elongo na bandeko na ye ya libota nkama mibale na tuku mibale;
Of the sons of Merari; Asaiah the chief, and his brothers two hundred and twenty:
7 mpo na bakitani ya Gerishoni: mokambi Joeli elongo na bandeko na ye ya libota, nkama moko na tuku misato;
Of the sons of Gershom; Joel the chief and his brothers an hundred and thirty:
8 mpo na bakitani ya Elitsafani: mokambi Shemaya elongo na bandeko na ye ya libota, nkama mibale;
Of the sons of Elizaphan; Shemaiah the chief, and his brothers two hundred:
9 mpo na bakitani ya Ebron: mokambi Elieli elongo na bandeko na ye ya libota, tuku mwambe;
Of the sons of Hebron; Eliel the chief, and his brothers fourscore:
10 mpo na bakitani ya Uzieli: mokambi Aminadabi elongo na bandeko na ye ya libota, nkama moko na zomi na mibale.
Of the sons of Uzziel; Amminadab the chief, and his brothers an hundred and twelve.
11 Davidi abengaki Banganga-Nzambe Tsadoki mpe Abiatari elongo na Balevi oyo: Urieli, Asaya, Joeli, Shemaya, Elieli mpe Aminadabi.
And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab,
12 Alobaki na bango: « Bozali bakambi ya mabota ya Balevi, bino elongo na bandeko ya mabota na bino; bomipetola mpo na komema Sanduku ya Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, na esika oyo nabongisi mpo na yango.
And said to them, You are the chief of the fathers of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, both you and your brothers, that you may bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel to the place that I have prepared for it.
13 Pamba te lokola bino Balevi bozalaki te na mbala ya liboso, yango wana Yawe, Nzambe na biso, asilikelaki biso makasi; pamba te totunaki Ye te ndenge nini tokokaki komema yango kolanda mibeko. »
For because you did it not at the first, the LORD our God made a breach on us, for that we sought him not after the due order.
14 Boye, Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi bamipetolaki mpo na komema Sanduku ya Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele.
So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel.
15 Bongo Balevi bamemaki na banzete Sanduku ya Nzambe na mapeka na bango ndenge kaka Moyize atindaki, kolanda Liloba na Yawe.
And the children of the Levites bore the ark of God on their shoulders with the staves thereon, as Moses commanded according to the word of the LORD.
16 Davidi alobaki na bakambi ya Balevi ete bapona, kati na bandeko na bango, bayembi mpo na koyemba banzembo ya esengo, na bibetelo mindule: nzenze, lindanda mpe manzanza.
And David spoke to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brothers to be the singers with instruments of music, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy.
17 Balevi baponaki Emani, mwana mobali ya Joeli; Azafi, mwana mobali ya Berekia, kati na bandeko na ye ya mibali; Etani, mwana mobali ya Kushaya, kati na bana ya Merari, na bandeko na ye ya mibali.
So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brothers, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brothers, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;
18 Mpe mpo na kosunga bango, baponaki Balevi mosusu: Zakari, Beni, Yazieli, Shemiramoti, Yeyeli, Uni, Eliabi, Benaya, Maaseya, Matitia, Elifele, Mikineya, Obedi-Edomi mpe Yeyeli. Bango nyonso bazalaki bakengeli bikuke.
And with them their brothers of the second degree, Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, the porters.
19 Babeti miziki: Emani, Azafi mpe Etani; bango bazalaki kobeta manzanza oyo basala na bronze.
So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were appointed to sound with cymbals of brass;
20 Zakari, Azieli, Shemiramoti, Yeyeli, Uni, Eliabi, Maaseya mpe Benaya; bango bazalaki kobeta nzenze na mongongo ya soprano.
And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries on Alamoth;
21 Matitia, Elifele, Mikineya, Obedi-Edomi, Yeyeli mpe Azazia; bango bazalaki kobeta mandanda ya basinga mwambe mpo na kotambolisa banzembo.
And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to excel.
22 Kenania, mokambi ya Balevi, aponamaki mpo na kotambolisa banzembo; pamba te ayebaki mosala yango malamu.
And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was for song: he instructed about the song, because he was skillful.
23 Berekia mpe Elikana, bazalaki bakengeli ya Sanduku ya Boyokani.
And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.
24 Banganga-Nzambe Shebania, Jozafati, Netaneeli, Amasayi, Zakari, Benaya mpe Eliezeri; bazalaki kobeta kelelo liboso ya Sanduku ya Nzambe. Obedi-Edomi mpe Yeyiya bazalaki mpe bakengeli Sanduku ya Boyokani.
And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, did blow with the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obededom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark.
25 Davidi, bakambi ya Isalaele mpe bakonzi ya basoda nkoto moko bakendeki kozwa na esengo Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe wuta na ndako ya Obedi-Edomi.
So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the house of Obededom with joy.
26 Mpe mpo ete Yawe asunga Balevi oyo bazalaki komema Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe, babonzaki lokola mbeka bangombe sambo ya mibali mpe bameme sambo ya mibali.
And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that they offered seven bullocks and seven rams.
27 Davidi elongo na Balevi nyonso oyo bazalaki komema Sanduku ya Boyokani, bayembi mpe Kenania, mokambi ya bayembi: bango nyonso balataki banzambala ya lino ya talo. Kasi Davidi abakisaki lisusu efode ya lino na likolo.
And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bore the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: David also had on him an ephod of linen.
28 Bato nyonso ya Isalaele bamemaki Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe na kobeta milolo ya esengo, na kobeta maseke, bakelelo, manzanza, banzenze mpe mandanda.
Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise with psalteries and harps.
29 Tango Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe ekotaki na engumba ya Davidi, Mikali, mwana mwasi ya Saulo, azalaki kotala wuta na lininisa; mpe tango amonaki mokonzi Davidi kopumbwa mpe kobina na esengo, ayinaki ye kati na motema na ye.
And it came to pass, as the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the city of David, that Michal, the daughter of Saul looking out at a window saw king David dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart.
