1 Tantara 15
1 Namboatse anjomba ho am-bata’e an-drova’ i Davide ao t’i Davide, le nañajaria’e toetse i vatan’ Añaharey vaho nañoreña’e kivoho.
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 Le hoe t’i Davide: Tsy eo ty hinday i vatan’ Añaharey naho tsy o nte-Levio avao; amy t’ie ty jinobo’ Iehovà hitarazo i vatan’ Añaharey naho ty hitoroñe Aze nainai’e.
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 Natonto’ i Davide e Ierosalaime ao t’Israele iaby, haneseañe ty vata’ Iehovà mb’ an-toe’e nihajarie’e ho aze.
And David assembled all Israel in Jerusalem to bring up the ark of the LORD to the place he had prepared for it.
4 Le navori’ i Davide o ana’ i Aharoneo naho o nte-Levio;
Then he gathered together the descendants of Aaron and the Levites:
5 amo ana’ i Kehàteo: i Oriele ty talè naho o rahalahi’eo, zato tsy roapolo;
From the Kohathites, Uriel the chief and 120 of his relatives;
6 amo ana’ i Merario: i Asaià ty talè naho o rahalahi’eo: roanjato-tsi-roapolo;
from the Merarites, Asaiah the chief and 220 of his relatives;
7 amo ana’ i Gersomeo: Ioele ty talè’e naho o rahalahi’eo; zato-tsi-telopolo;
from the Gershomites, Joel the chief and 130 of his relatives;
8 amo ana’ i Elitsafaneo; i Semaià ty talè naho o rahalahi’eo, roanjato;
from the Elizaphanites, Shemaiah the chief and 200 of his relatives;
9 amo ana’ i Kebroneo; i Eliele ty talè naho valopolo o rahalahi’eo;
from the Hebronites, Eliel the chief and 80 of his relatives;
10 amo ana’ i Ozieleo; i Aminadabe ty talè naho zato-tsi-folo-ro’ amby o rahalahi’eo.
and from the Uzzielites, Amminadab the chief and 112 of his relatives.
11 Kinanji’ i Davide amy zao t’i Tsadoke naho i Abiatare mpisoroñe naho amo nte-Levio, i Oriele naho i Asaià naho Ioele naho i Semaià naho i Eliele vaho i Aminadabe,
David summoned the priests Zadok and Abiathar and the Levites Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.
12 le nanoa’e ty hoe: Inahareo ro talèn’ anjomban-droae nte-Levio; mañamasiña vatañe, ie naho o longo’ areoo, hanesea’ areo mb’etoy i vata’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israeley, mb’amy nihajariakoy.
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 Ie tsy nendesa’ areo am-baloha’ey ty nitosira’ Iehovà Andrianañahare aman-tika, amy te tsy nihalalian-tika i fañè zay.
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 Aa le nañefe-batañe o mpisoroñeo naho o nte-Levio, hampionjoñe i vata’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israeley.
So the priests and Levites consecrated themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel.
15 Aa le nitarazoe’ o ana’ i Levio an-tsoroke am-boda’e i vatan’ Añaharey, amy nandilia’ i Mosè ty amy tsara’ Iehovàiy.
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 Le nisaontsy amy mpiaolo’ o nte-Levio t’i Davide hijoboña’e amo rahalahi’eo o mpisaboo, reke-pititihañe ara-tsabo, am-pipoñafeñe jejo-bory naho marovany naho fikarantsañe vaho ionjonam-peo an-drebeke.
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 Aa le jinobo’ o nte-Levio t’i Hemane ana’ Ioele; naho o rahalahi’eo, i Asafe, ana’ i Berekia; naho o ana’ i Merario, i Etane ana’ i Kosaià;
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 naho o rahalahi’e amy saranga faharoeio: i Zekarià, i Bene naho Iaaziele naho i Semiramote naho Iekiele naho i Oný, i Eliabe naho i Benaià naho i Maaseià naho i Matitià naho i Elifeleho vaho i Mikneià naho i Ovededome naho Ieiele, songa mpiamben-dalambey.
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 Tinendre hampikorintseñe o katsàñe torisikeo t’i Hemane naho i Asafe vaho i Etane, mpisabo;
The musicians Heman, Asaph, and Ethan were to sound the bronze cymbals.
20 le songa an-jejobory, am-peo abo t’i Zekarià naho i Aziele naho i Semiramote naho Iehiele naho i Oný naho Eliabe naho i Maaseià vaho i Benaià.
Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah were to play the harps according to Alamoth.
21 Le an-tali-valo hitarihañe o feo ambaneo t’i Matitià naho i Elifeleho naho i Mikneià naho i Ovededome naho Ieiele vaho i Azazià.
And Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah were to lead the music with lyres according to Sheminith.
22 Natao mpañoniñe t’i Kenanià, talè’ o nte-Levio, amy hilala’e onin-tsaboy, toe nahihitse.
Chenaniah the head Levite was the director of the music because he was highly skilled.
23 Nimpitan-dala’ i vatay t’i Berekià naho i Elkanà.
Berechiah and Elkanah were to be guardians of the ark.
24 I Sebanià naho Iehosafate naho i Netanele naho i Amasay naho i Zekarià naho i Benaià naho i Eliezere, mpisoroñe, songa nampipopò trompetra aolo’ i vatan’ Añaharey; vaho nimpitan-dala’ i vatay t’i Ovededome naho Iekià.
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 Aa le nimb’eo t’i Davide naho o roandria’ Israeleo naho o mpifelek’ arivoo, hampionjona’ iereo mb’eo i vatam-pañina’Iehovày boak’ añ’anjomba’ i Ovededome ao an-drebeke.
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 Ie amy zao, kanao nañolotse o nte-Levy nitarazo i vatam-pañina’ Iehovàio t’i Andrianañahare, le nisoroñañe bania fito naho añondrilahy fito.
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 Nisaroñe leny mireparepa t’i Davide naho o nte-Levy nitarazo i vataio naho o mpisaboo vaho i Kenanià talè’ o mpisabo amo oniñeoo; le nampiombeañe kitambe leny t’i Davide.
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 Aa le songa nampionjoñe i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày am-pazake t’Israele, am-pitiofañe tsifa naho am-pipopòn-trompetra naho am-pikarantsañe naho am-pipoñafam-peo reke-jejobory naho marovany.
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 Ie nimoak’ an-drova’ i Davide ao i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày, le nitilihitse an-dalan-kede t’i Mikale ana’ i Saole nahaisake i Davide nitsinjake naho niankahake ey vaho nitorifiha’e an-trok’ ao.
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.
