< १ इतिहास 15 >

1 दाऊदले आफ्‍नो निम्‍ति दाऊदको सहरमा भवनहरू बनाए । तिनले परमेश्‍वरका सन्‍दूकको निम्‍ति एउटा ठाउँ तयार गरे र त्‍यसको लागि एउटा पाल टाँगे ।
And David made for him houses in the city of David. And he prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched a tent for it.
2 तब दाऊदले भने, “परमेश्‍वरको सन्दूक लेवीहरूले मात्र बोकून, किनकि परमप्रभुको सन्‍दूक बोक्‍न र सदासर्वदा उहाँको सेवा गर्न परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई नै चुन्‍नुभएको थियो ।”
Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites, for Jehovah has them chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister to him forever.
3 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुको सन्‍दूकलाई त्‍यसको निम्‍ति तयार गरिएको ठाउँमा ल्‍याउनलाई दाऊदले सारा इस्राएललाई यरूशलेममा भेला गराए ।
And David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem to bring up the ark of Jehovah to its place, which he had prepared for it.
4 दाऊदले हारूनका सन्‍तानहरू र लेवीहरूलाई एकसाथ भेला गराए ।
And David gathered together the sons of Aaron, and the Levites:
5 कहातका सन्‍तानबाट मुखिया उरीएल र तिनका आफन्तहरू १२० जना थिए ।
of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the chief, and his brothers a hundred and twenty;
6 मरारीका सन्‍तानबाट मुखिया असायाह र तिनका आफन्तहरू २२० जना थिए ।
of the sons of Merari, Asaiah the chief, and his brothers two hundred and twenty;
7 गेर्शोनका सन्‍तानबाट मुखिया योएल र तिनका आफन्तहरू १३० जना थिए ।
of the sons of Gershom, Joel the chief, and his brothers a hundred and thirty;
8 एलीजापानका सन्‍तानबाट मुखिया शमायाह र तिनका आफन्तहरू २०० जना थिए ।
of the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chief, and his brothers two hundred;
9 हेब्रोनका सन्‍तानबाट एलीएल मुखिया र तिनका आफन्तहरू ८० जना थिए ।
of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief, and his brothers eighty;
10 उज्‍जीएलका सन्‍तानबाट मुखिया अम्‍मीनादाब र तिनका आफन्तहरू ११२ जना थिए ।
of the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab the chief, and his brothers a hundred and twelve.
11 दाऊदले सादोक र अबियाथार पुजारीहरू, अनि लेवी उरीएल, असायाह, योएल, शमायाह, एलीएल र अम्‍मीनादाबलाई बोलाए ।
And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab.
12 तिनले उनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरू लेवीहरूका परिवारका मुखियाहरू हौ । तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूका दाजुभाइले आफूलाई पवित्र गर, ताकि परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वरको सन्‍दूक राख्‍न मैले तयार पारेको ठाउँमा तिमीहरूले त्‍यसलाई ल्याउन सक्‍छौ ।
And said to them, Ye are the heads of the fathers of the Levites. Sanctify yourselves, both ye and your brothers, that ye may bring up the ark of Jehovah, the God of Israel, to the place that I have prepared for it.
13 तिमीहरूले यसलाई पहिलो पल्‍ट बोकेनौ । यसैले परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्‍वर हामीमाथि क्रोधित हुनुभयो, किनकि हामीले उहाँको खोजी गरेनौं वा उहाँको आज्ञा पालन गरेनौं ।”
For because ye did not at the first, Jehovah our God made a breach upon us, because we did not seek him according to the ordinance.
14 यसैले परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वरको सन्‍दूकलाई तिनीहरूले ल्‍याउन सकून् भनेर पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूले आफैलाई पवित्र गरे ।
So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of Jehovah, the God of Israel.
15 यसैले परमप्रभुको वचनको अनुरण गरेर मोशाले आज्ञा दिएझैं लेवीहरूले परमेश्‍वरको सन्‍दूकलाई आ-आफ्‍ना काँधमा डन्‍डाले बोकेर ल्‍याए ।
And the sons of the Levites bore the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staves thereon, as Moses commanded according to the word of Jehovah.
16 लेवीहरूका मुखियाहरूले आ-आफ्‍ना दाजुभाइलाई बाजा, सारङ्गी, वीणा र झ्‍यालीको साथ ठुलो स्वरमा र आफ्ना स्वरहरू उचालेर आनन्दका साथ सङ्गीत बजाउनको निम्ति नियुक्त गरून् भनी दाऊदले हुकुम दिए ।
And David spoke to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brothers the singers, with instruments of music, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding aloud and lifting up the voice with joy.
17 यसैले लेवीहरूले योएलका छोरा हेमान, र तिनका दाजुभाइमध्ये बेरेक्‍याहका छोरा आसापलाई नियुक्‍त गरे । तिनीहरूले मरारीहरूको सन्तानका आफन्त कूशायाहका छोरा एतानलाई पनि नियुक्‍त गरे ।
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 तिनीहरूसँगै दोस्रो दर्जाका आफन्तहरू थिएः जकरिया, याजीएल, शमीरामोत, यहीएल, उन्‍नी, एलीआब, बनायाह, मासेयाह, मत्तित्‍याह, एलीपलेहू, मिक्‍नेयाह, अनि ढोकाका सुरक्षा गार्डहरू ओबेद-एदोम र यीएल ।
And with them their brothers of the second degree, Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, the porters.
19 सङ्गीतकार हेमान, आसाप र एतानलाई ठुलो आवाज निकाल्ने काँसका झ्‍यालीहरू बजाउन नियुक्त गरियो ।
So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were appointed with cymbals of brass to sound aloud.
20 जकरिया, अजीएल, शमीरामोत, यहीएल, उन्‍नी, एलीआब, मासेयाह र बनायाहले सारङ्गीमा अलामोत राग बजाए ।
And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries set to Alamoth.
21 मत्तित्‍याह, एलीपलेहू, मिक्‍नेयाह, ओबेद-एदोम, यीएल र अजज्‍याहले वीणामा शिमिनिथ राग बजाएर बाटोमा अगि लागे ।
And Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps set to the Sheminith, to lead.
22 लेवीहरूका अगुवा कनन्‍याह सङ्गीतका निर्देशक थिए, किनकि तिनी सङ्गीत गुरु थिए ।
And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was over the song. He instructed about the song because he was skilful.
23 बेरेक्‍याह र एल्‍काना सन्‍दूकका गार्डहरू थिए ।
And Berechiah and Elkanah were porters for the ark.
24 शबन्‍याह, योशापात, नतनेल, अमासै, जकरिया, बनायाह र एलीएजर पुजारीहरूले परमेश्‍वरका सन्‍दूकको अगि तुरही बजाउनुपर्थ्यो । ओबेद-एदोम र येहियाह पनि सन्‍दूकका गार्डहरू थिए ।
And 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 porters for the ark.
25 यसैले दाऊद र इस्राएलका धर्म-गुरुहरू र हजार-हजारका फौजका कमाण्‍डरहरू ओबेद-एदोमको घरबाट परमप्रभुका करारको सन्‍दूक ल्‍याउनलाई रमाउँदै गए ।
So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the house of Obed-edom with joy.
26 परमप्रभुका करारको सन्‍दूक बोक्‍ने लेवीहरूलाई परमेश्‍वरले सहायता गर्नुभएको हुनाले तिनीहरूले सात वटा साँढे र सात वटा भेडा बलिदान चढाए ।
And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, that they sacrificed seven bullocks and seven rams.
27 सन्‍दूक बोक्‍ने लेवीहरू, गायकहरू र गायकका मुखिया कनन्‍याहले जस्‍तै दाऊदले पनि असल मलमलका लुगा लाएका थिए । दाऊदले मलमलको एपोद लाएका थिए ।
And 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 upon him an ephod of linen.
28 यसरी सबै इस्राएलले आनन्दले कराउँदै सीङ र तुरहीहरूका आवाजमा र झ्‍याली, सारङ्गी र वीणा बजाउँदै परमप्रभुका करारको सन्‍दूक ल्याए ।
Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, sounding aloud with psalteries and harps.
29 तर जब परमप्रभुका करारको सन्‍दूक दाऊदको सहरमा ल्याइयो, शाऊलकी छोरी मीकलले झ्‍यालबाट बाहिर हेरिन् । उनले दाऊद राजालाई नाच्‍दै र उत्सव मनाउँदै गरेका देखिन् । तब उनले आफ्‍नो मनमा तिनलाई तुच्‍छ ठानिन्‌ ।
And it came to pass, as the ark of the covenant of Jehovah came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David dancing and playing. And she despised him in her heart.
