1 Whakapapa 15
1 Na ka hanga e Rawiri etahi whare mona ki te pa o Rawiri; i whakapaia ano e ia he wahi, i whakatu teneti hoki mo te aaka a te Atua.
David made him houses in the City of David; and he prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent.
2 Katahi a Rawiri ka mea, E kore e pai kia kawea te aaka a te Atua e tetahi atu, engari ma nga Riwaiti; ko ratou hoki ta Ihowa i whiriwhiri ai hei mau i te aaka a te Atua, hei mahi hoki ki a ia i nga wa katoa.
Then David said, "No one ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites. For the LORD has chosen them to carry the ark of God, and to minister to him forever."
3 Na ka huihuia e Rawiri a Iharaira katoa ki Hiruharama, ki te kawe i te aaka a Ihowa ki tona wahi i whakapaia ra e ia mona.
David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD to its place, which he had prepared for it.
4 I huihuia ano e Rawiri nga tama a Arona ratou ko nga Riwaiti;
David gathered together the sons of Aaron, and the Levites:
5 O nga tama a Kohata; ko Uriere, ko te rangatira, ratou ko ona teina kotahi rau e rua tekau:
of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the chief, and his brothers one hundred twenty;
6 O nga tama a Merari; ko Ahaia, ko te rangatira, ratou ko ona teina e rua rau e rua tekau:
of the sons of Merari, Asaiah the chief, and his brothers two hundred twenty;
7 O nga tama a Kerehoma; ko Hoera, ko te rangatira, ratou ko ona teina kotahi rau e toru tekau:
of the sons of Gershom, Joel the chief, and his brothers one hundred thirty;
8 O nga tama a Eritapana; ko Hemaia, ko te rangatira, ratou ko ona teina e rua rau:
of the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chief, and his brothers two hundred;
9 O nga tama a Heperona; ko Eriere, ko te rangatira, ratou ko ona teina e waru tekau:
of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief, and his brothers eighty;
10 O nga tama a Utiere; ko Aminarapa, ko te rangatira, ratou ko ona teina kotahi rau kotahi tekau ma rua.
of the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab the chief, and his brothers one hundred twelve.
11 I karangatia ano e Rawiri a Haroko raua ko Apiatara, nga tohunga, ratou ko nga Riwaiti, ko Uriere, ko Ahaia, ko Hoera, ko Hemaia, ko Eriere, ko Aminarapa,
David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab,
12 I mea ia ki a ratou, Ko koutou nga rangatira o nga whare o nga matua o nga Riwaiti: whakatapua koutou, koutou ko o koutou teina; ma koutou hoki e kawe te aaka a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira ki te wahi i whakapaia e ahau mona.
and said to them, "You are the heads of the ancestral houses of the Levites. Sanctify yourselves, both you and your brothers, that you may bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel, to the place that I have prepared for it.
13 No te mea hoki ehara i a koutou i kawe i te tuatahi, no reira i torere mai ai a Ihowa, to tatou Atua ki a tatou, no te mea kihai i rite ki te tikanga ta tatou rapu i a ia.
For because you were not prepared the first time, the LORD our God made an outbreak against us, because we did not seek him according to the ordinance."
14 Heoi kei te whakatapu nga tohunga me nga Riwaiti i a ratou, kia kawea ai e ratou te aaka a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira.
So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel.
15 Na ka amohia e nga tama a nga Riwaiti te aaka a te Atua, ka pera me ta Mohi i whakahau ai, me ta Ihowa i korero ai; ko nga amo i runga i o ratou pokohiwi.
The descendants of the Levites bore the ark of God on their shoulders with the poles thereon, as Moses commanded according to the word of the LORD.
16 I korero ano a Rawiri ki nga rangatira o nga Riwaiti kia whakaritea o ratou teina hei kaiwaiata i runga i nga mea waiata, i nga hatere, i nga hapa, i nga himipora, he mea e rangona, he reo koa hoki e whakaarahia ana e ratou.
David spoke to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brothers the singers, with instruments of music, stringed instruments and harps and cymbals, sounding aloud and lifting up the voice with joy.
17 Na ka whakaritea e nga Riwaiti, ko Hemana tama a Hoera; o ona teina hoki ko Ahapa tama a Perekia; o o ratou teina, o nga tama a Merari ko Etana tama a Kuhaia;
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 O o ratou teina, nga tuarua, hei hoa mo ratou, ko Hakaraia, ko Pene, ko Taatiere, ko Hemiramoto, ko Tehiere, ko Uni, ko Eriapa, ko Penaia, ko Maaheia, ko Matitia, ko Eriperehe, ko Mikineia, ko Opereeroma, ko Teiere; he kaitiaki kuwaha ratou.
and with them their brothers of the second degree, Zechariah, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah were doorkeepers.
19 Na whakaritea ana ko nga kaiwaiata, ko Hemana, ko Ahapa, ko Etana, hei whakatangi i nga himipora parahi;
So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were given cymbals of bronze to sound aloud;
20 Na ko Hakaraia, ko Atiere, ko Hemiramoto, ko Tehiere, ko Uni, ko Eriapa, ko Maaheia, ko Penaia, he mea i runga i nga hatere, he mea Aramoto;
and Zechariah, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with stringed instruments set to Alamoth;
21 A ko Matitia, ko Eriperehe, ko Mikineia, ko Opereeroma, ko Teiere, ko Atatia, i runga i nga hapa, he mea Heminiti, hei whakarewa.
and Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps tuned to the eight-stringed lyre, to lead.
22 Na ko Kenania ano, ko te upoko a nga Riwaiti, hei whakahua: i whakaako ano ia ki te whakahua waiata; he mohio hoki ia.
Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was over the song: he instructed about the song, because he was skillful.
23 Ko Perekia raua ko Erekana nga kaitiaki tatau mo te aaka.
Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.
24 Ko nga tohunga ano, ko Hepania, ko Iohapata, ko Netaneere, ko Amahai, ko Hakaraia, ko Penaia, ko Erietere, hei whakatangi i nga tetere ki mua i te aaka a te Atua; a ko Opereeroma raua ko Iahia nga kaitiaki tatau mo te aaka.
Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethanel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, blew the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obed-Edom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark.
25 Na haere ana a Rawiri ratou ko nga kaumatua o Iharaira, ko nga rangatira o nga mano ki te kawe i te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa i te whare o Opereeroma i runga i te koa.
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 Obed-Edom with joy.
26 A, ka awhina te Atua i nga Riwaiti, na ratou nei i amo te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa, na ka patua e ratou te whakahere, e whitu nga puru, e whitu nga hipi toa.
It happened, when God helped the Levites who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.
27 Na, he koroka rinena pai te kakahu o Rawiri, o nga Riwaiti katoa i amohia ai te aaka, o nga kaiwaiata, o Kenainia ano, o te rangatira o te waiata, me nga kaiwaiata hoki. He epora rinena ano to Rawiri.
David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites who bore the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: and David had on him an ephod of linen.
28 Na kei te kawe a Iharaira katoa i te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa, me te mahama ano ratou, me te tangi ano te koronete, te tetere, te himipora: paku ana te rongo o nga hatere, o nga hapa.
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, sounding aloud with stringed instruments and harps.
29 Na, i te taenga o te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa ki te pa o Rawiri, ka titiro atu a Mikara tamahine a Haora i te matapihi, ka kite i a Kingi Rawiri e kanikani ana, e takaro ana: na ka whakahawea ki a ia i roto i tona ngakau.
It happened, as the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the City of David, that Mikal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David dancing and playing; and she despised him in her heart.
