1 Tantara 15
1 Ary Davida nanao trano ho azy tao an-Tanànan’ i Davida sady namboatra fitoerana sy nanorin-day ho an’ ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra.
And [David] made himself houses in the city of David, and he prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent.
2 Ary tamin’ izay dia hoy Davida: Tsy misy tokony hitondra ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra afa-tsy ny Levita ihany, satria izy no efa nofidin’ i Jehovah hitondra ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra sy hanao fanompoam-pivavahana ho Azy mandrakizay.
Then said David, None shall carry the ark of God but the Levites; for of them hath the Lord made choice to carry the ark of God, and to minister unto him for ever.
3 Dia novorin’ i Davida tany Jerosalema ny Isiraely rehetra hampakatra ny fiaran’ i Jehovah ho any amin’ ny fitoerana izay namboariny ho azy.
And David assembled all Israel to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the Lord unto its place, which he had prepared for it.
4 Ary novorin’ i Davida ny taranak’ i Arona sy ny Levita:
And David gathered together the children of Aaron, and the Levites.
5 tamin’ ny taranak’ i Kehata dia Oriela lehibeny sy ny rahalahiny roa-polo amby zato;
Of the sons of Kehath: Uriel the chief, and his brethren one hundred and twenty.
6 tamin’ ny taranak’ i Merary dia Asaia lehibeny sy ny rahalahiny roa-polo amby roan-jato;
Of the sons of Merari: 'Assayah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty.
7 tamin’ ny taranak’ i Gersona dia Joela lehibeny sy ny rahalahiny telo-polo amby zato;
Of the sons of Gershom: Joel the chief, and his brethren one hundred and thirty.
8 tamin’ ny taranak’ i Elizafana dia Semaia lehibeny sy ny rahalahiny roan-jato;
Of the sons of Elizaphan: Shema'yah the chief, and his brethren two hundred.
9 tamin’ ny taranak’ i Hebrona dia Eliala lehibeny sy ny rahalahiny valo-polo,
Of the sons of Hebron: Eliel the chief, and his brethren eighty.
10 tamin’ ny taranak’ i Oziela dia Aminadaba lehibeny sy ny rahalahiny roa ambin’ ny folo amby zato.
Of the sons of 'Uzziel: 'Amminadab the chief, and his brethren one hundred and twelve.
11 Ary Davida niantso an’ i Zadoka sy Abiatara mpisorona sy ny Levita, dia Oriela sy Asaia sy Joela sy Semaia sy Eliala ary Aminadaba,
And David called for Zadok and Ebyathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, 'Assayah, and Joel, Shema'yah, and Eliel, and 'Amminadab,
12 ka nanao taminy hoe: Hianareo lohan’ ny fianakavian’ ny Levita, hamasino ny tenanareo, dia ianareo sy ny rahalahinareo, mba hampakaranareo ny fiaran’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, ho ao amin’ ilay namboariko ho azy.
And he said unto them, Ye are the chiefs of the family divisions of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, ye and your brethren, and bring up the ark of the Lord the God of Israel unto [the place which] I have prepared for it.
13 Satria tsy ianareo no tamin’ ilay teo, dia nasian’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika isika, fa tsy nitady Azy araka ny voadidy.
For, because ye [did] it not at the first, the Lord our God made a breach among us; because we had not sought him after the prescribed manner.
14 Dia nanamasina ny tenany ny mpisorona sy ny Levita hampakatra ny fiaran’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely.
So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the Lord the God of Israel.
15 Ary ny Levita nilanja ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra tamin’ ny hazo, tahaka ny nandidian’ i Mosesy araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah.
And the children of the Levites bore the ark of God, as Moses had commanded according to the word of the Lord, on their shoulders, by means of barrows placed upon them.
16 Ary ireo lehiben’ ny Levita dia nasain’ i Davida nanendry ny mpihira rahalahiny hitondra ny zava-maneno, dia ny valiha sy ny lokanga ary hampaneno ny kipantsona, mba hanandra-peo amin’ ny fifaliana.
And David said to the chiefs of the Levites to appoint their brethren the singers with instruments of music, psalteries and harps and cymbals, to sing aloud, by lifting up the voice for joy.
17 Ka dia notendren’ ny Levita Hemana, zanak’ i Joela; ary tamin’ ny rahalahiny dia Asafa, zanak’ i Berekia; ary tamin’ ny taranak’ i Merary rahalahiny dia Etana, zanak’ i Kosaia;
So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel, and of his brethren, Assaph the son of Berechyahu, and of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushayahu;
18 ary naman’ ireo ihany koa ny rahalahiny manarakaraka, dia Zakaria sy Bena sy Jaziela sy Semiramota sy Jehiela sy Ony sy Eliaba sy Benaia sy Mahaseia sy Matitia sy Elifeleho sy Mikneia sy Obed-edoma ary Jeiela, mpiandry varavarana.
And with them their brethren of the second degree, Zecharyahu, Ben, and Ja'aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jechiel, and 'Unni, Eliab, and Benayahu, and Ma'asseyahu, and Matthithyahu, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneyahu, and 'Obed-edom, and Je'iel, the gatekeepers.
19 Ary Hemana sy Asafa ary Etana mpihira dia nasaina nitondra kipantsona varahina hampanenoina.
Namely, the singers, Heman, Assaph, and Ethan, to play aloud with cymbals of copper;
20 Ary Zakaria sy Aziela sy Semiramota sy Jehiela sy Ony sy Eliaba sy Mahaseia sy Benaia no nasaina nitendry valiha tamin’ ny Alamota.
And Zechariah, and 'Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jechiel, and 'Unni, and Eliab, and Ma'asseyahu, and Benayahu, with psalteries on 'Alamoth;
21 Ary Matitia sy Elifeleho sy Mikneia sy Obed-edoma sy Jeiela ary Azazia no nasaina nitendry ny lokanga tamin’ ny Seminita ho mpitarika.
And Matthithyahu, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneyahu, and 'Obed-edom, and Je-iel, and 'Azazyahu, with harps on the Sheminith to play as leaders.
22 Ary Kenania, lehiben’ ny Levita, no tonian’ ny fitondrana; ary nampianatra ny fitondrana izy, fa nahay.
And Kenanyahu was the chief of the Levites in conducting the singing: he instructed in conducting the singing, because he was skilful.
23 Ary Berekia sy Elikana no mpiandry varavarana amin’ ny fiara.
And Berechyah and Elkanah were gatekeepers for the ark.
24 Ary Sebania sy Josafata sy Netanela sy Amasay sy Zakaria sy Benaia ary Eliezera, izay samy mpisorona, no nitsoka ny trompetra teo alohan’ ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra, ary Obed-edoma sy Jehia koa no mpiandry varavarana amin’ ny fiara.
And Shebanyahu, and Joshaphat, and Nethanel, and 'Amassai, and Zecharyahu, and Benayahu, and Eli'ezer, the priests, did blow on the trumpets before the ark of God; and 'Obed-edom and Jechiyah were gatekeepers for the ark.
25 Ary Davida sy ny loholon’ ny Isiraely mbamin’ ny mpifehy arivo no nandeha hampakatra ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah avy tao an-tranon’ i Obed-edoma tamin’ ny fifaliana.
And it was David, with the elders of Israel, and the officers over the thousands, who went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the house of 'Obed-edom with joy.
26 Ary rehefa nomban’ Andriamanitra ny Levita izay nilanja ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah, dia namono vantotr’ ombilahy fito sy ondrilahy fito hatao fanatitra izy.
And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, that they offered seven bullocks and seven rams.
27 Ary niakanjo akanjo rongony fotsy madinika Davida, ary niakanjo toy izany koa ny Levita rehetra izay nitondra ny fiara ary ny mpihira sy Kenania, tonian’ ny fitondrana, mbamin’ ny mpihira; ary Davida nisalotra efoda rongony fotsy koa.
And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and [so were] all the Levites that carried the ark, and the singers, and Kenanyahu the chief in conducting the singing of the singers; but David had also upon him an ephod of linen.
28 Toy izany no nampakaran’ ny Isiraely rehetra ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny fihobiana sy ny feon’ ny anjomara sy ny trompetra ary ny kipantsona sy tamin’ ny fitendrena ny valiha sy ny lokanga.
Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouting, and with the sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, playing aloud on psalteries and harps.
29 Ary nony tonga tao an-Tanànan’ i Davida ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah, dia nitsirika teo am-baravarankely Mikala, zanakavavin’ i Saoly, ka nahita an’ i Davida mpanjaka nibitaka sy nitsinjaka; ka dia nikizaka azy tao am-pony izy.
And it happened, as the ark of the covenant of the Lord came as far as the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked through the window, and saw king David dancing and playing, and she despised him in her heart.
