And [David] made for himself houses in the city of David, and he prepared a place for the ark of God, and made 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 said David, It is not [lawful for any] to bear the ark of God, but the Levites; for the Lord has chosen them to bear the ark of the Lord, and to minister to him for ever.
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 at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the Lord to the place which he [had] prepared for it.

And David called Sadoc and Abiathar the priests, and the Levites, Uriel, Asaia, and Joel, and Semaia, and Eliel, and Aminadab,
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 said to them, You [are] the heads of the families of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, you and your brethren, and you shall carry up the ark of the God of Israel, [to the place] which 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.
For because you were not [ready] at the first, our God made a breach upon us, because we sought him not according to the ordinance.
14 Aa le nañefe-batañe o mpisoroñeo naho o nte-Levio, hampionjoñe i vata’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israeley.
So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves, to bring up the ark of 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 sons of the Levites took the ark of God, (as Moses commanded by the word of God according to the scripture) upon their shoulders with staves.
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.

So the Levites appointed Aeman the son of Joel; Asaph the son of Barachias [was one] of his brethren; and Aethan the son of Kisaeus was of the sons of Merari their brethren;

22 Natao mpañoniñe t’i Kenanià, talè’ o nte-Levio, amy hilala’e onin-tsaboy, toe nahihitse.
And Chonenia chief of the Levites [was] master of the bands, because he was skilful.
23 Nimpitan-dala’ i vatay t’i Berekià naho i Elkanà.
And Barachia and Elcana [were] doorkeepers 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.
And Somnia, and Josaphat, and Nathanael, and Amasai, and Zacharia, and Banaea, and Eliezer, the priests, were sounding with trumpets before the ark of God: and Abdedom and Jeia [were] doorkeepers of the ark of God.
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, and the elders of Israel, and the captains of thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant from the house of Abdedom with gladness.
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 it came to pass when God strengthened the Levites bearing the ark of the covenant of the Lord, that they sacrificed seven calves 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.
And David [was] girded with a fine linen robe, and all the Levites [who were] bearing the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the singers, and Chonenias the master of the band of singers; also upon David [there was] a robe of fine linen.
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.
And all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouting, and with the sound of a horn, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, playing loudly on lutes and harps.
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.
And the ark of the covenant of the Lord arrived, and came to the city of David; and Melchol the daughter of Saul looked down through the window, and saw king David dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart.
