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 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, 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 Natonto’ i Davide e Ierosalaime ao t’Israele iaby, haneseañe ty vata’ Iehovà mb’ an-toe’e nihajarie’e ho aze.

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 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 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 Ie tsy nendesa’ areo am-baloha’ey ty nitosira’ Iehovà Andrianañahare aman-tika, amy te tsy nihalalian-tika i fañè zay.
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 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 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 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 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.
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 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 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 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 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.

Namely, the singers, Heman, Assaph, and Ethan, to play aloud with cymbals of copper;

And Zechariah, and 'Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jechiel, and 'Unni, and Eliab, and Ma'asseyahu, and Benayahu, with psalteries on '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 Matthithyahu, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneyahu, and 'Obed-edom, and Je-iel, and 'Azazyahu, with harps on the Sheminith to play as leaders.
22 Natao mpañoniñe t’i Kenanià, talè’ o nte-Levio, amy hilala’e onin-tsaboy, toe nahihitse.
And Kenanyahu was the chief of the Levites in conducting the singing: he instructed in conducting the singing, because he was skilful.
23 Nimpitan-dala’ i vatay t’i Berekià naho i Elkanà.
And Berechyah and Elkanah were gatekeepers for 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 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 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.
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 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 helped the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, that they offered seven bullocks 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 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 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.
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 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 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.
