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.
And he made him houses, in the city of David, —and 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, said David, None must carry the ark of God, save the Levites, —for, of them, did Yahweh make choice, to bear the ark of Yahweh, and to attend it, unto times age-abiding.
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.
So David convoked all Israel, unto Jerusalem, —to bring up the ark of Yahweh, unto the place thereof, which he had prepared for it.
4 I huihuia ano e Rawiri nga tama a Arona ratou ko nga Riwaiti;
And 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 brethren, one hundred and 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 brethren, two hundred and 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 brethren, one hundred and 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 brethren, 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 brethren, eighty;
10 O nga tama a Utiere; ko Aminarapa, ko te rangatira, ratou ko ona teina kotahi rau kotahi tekau ma rua.
of the son of Uzziel, Amminadab the chief, and his brethren, a hundred and 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,
Then called David, for Zadok and for 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 unto them, Ye, are the chiefs of the fathers of the Levites, —Hallow yourselves, ye and your brethren, so shall ye bring up the ark of Yahweh—God of Israel, into [the place] 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.
Because, at the first, ye, did not [bring it], Yahweh our God brake forth against us, because we sought him not in the appointed way.
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 hallowed themselves, —to bring up the ark of Yahweh, 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.
And the sons of the Levites bare the ark of God, just as Moses commanded, according to the word of Yahweh, —on their shoulder, with the staves upon them.
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.
And David spake to the chiefs of the Levites, to station their brethren the singers, with instruments of song, harps and lyres, and cymbals, —sounding aloud at the lifting up of the voice, for 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 caused to stand, Heman son of Joel, and, of his brethren, Asaph, son of Berechiah, —and, of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan, 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 brethren of the second degree, —Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mickneiah, and Obed-edom and Jeiel, the door-keepers.
19 Na whakaritea ana ko nga kaiwaiata, ko Hemana, ko Ahapa, ko Etana, hei whakatangi i nga himipora parahi;
And, the singers, Heman, Asaph and Ethan, with cymbals of bronze, were 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 Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah and Benaiah, —with harps, over the trebles;
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, Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel and Azaziah, —with lyres over the bass, to take the 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.
And, Chenaniah the leader of the Levites, in the service, used to give instructions in the service, because skilful was he.
23 Ko Perekia raua ko Erekana nga kaitiaki tatau mo te aaka.
And, Berechiah and Elkanah, were door-keepers to 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.
And, Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethanel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, were blowing with the trumpets, before the ark of God, —and, Obed-edom and Jehiah, were door-keepers, to 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.
Thus, it was, David and the elders of Israel, and the rulers of thousands, who were going, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, 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.
And so it was that, when God helped the Levites, who were bearing the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, they sacrificed seven bullocks 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.
Now, David, was wrapped about with a robe of byssus, with all the Levites who were bearing the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the leader of the service rendered by the singers, —but, upon David, was an ephod of white 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.
So, all Israel, were bringing up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, with shouting, and with sound of the horn, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, —sounding aloud, with harps, and lyres.
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.
And so it was that, when the ark of the covenant of Yahweh came in as far as the city of David, —and Michal daughter of Saul looked forth through the window, and saw King David, dancing and playing, that she despised him in her heart.
