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 ।
David constructed buildings for himself 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, “No one but the Levites may carry the ark of God, because the LORD has chosen them to carry the ark of the LORD and to minister before Him forever.”
3 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुको सन्दूकलाई त्यसको निम्ति तयार गरिएको ठाउँमा ल्याउनलाई दाऊदले सारा इस्राएललाई यरूशलेममा भेला गराए ।
And David assembled all Israel in Jerusalem to bring up the ark of the LORD to the place he had prepared for it.
4 दाऊदले हारूनका सन्तानहरू र लेवीहरूलाई एकसाथ भेला गराए ।
Then he gathered together the descendants of Aaron and the Levites:
5 कहातका सन्तानबाट मुखिया उरीएल र तिनका आफन्तहरू १२० जना थिए ।
From the Kohathites, Uriel the chief and 120 of his relatives;
6 मरारीका सन्तानबाट मुखिया असायाह र तिनका आफन्तहरू २२० जना थिए ।
from the Merarites, Asaiah the chief and 220 of his relatives;
7 गेर्शोनका सन्तानबाट मुखिया योएल र तिनका आफन्तहरू १३० जना थिए ।
from the Gershomites, Joel the chief and 130 of his relatives;
8 एलीजापानका सन्तानबाट मुखिया शमायाह र तिनका आफन्तहरू २०० जना थिए ।
from the Elizaphanites, Shemaiah the chief and 200 of his relatives;
9 हेब्रोनका सन्तानबाट एलीएल मुखिया र तिनका आफन्तहरू ८० जना थिए ।
from the Hebronites, Eliel the chief and 80 of his relatives;
10 उज्जीएलका सन्तानबाट मुखिया अम्मीनादाब र तिनका आफन्तहरू ११२ जना थिए ।
and from the Uzzielites, Amminadab the chief and 112 of his relatives.
11 दाऊदले सादोक र अबियाथार पुजारीहरू, अनि लेवी उरीएल, असायाह, योएल, शमायाह, एलीएल र अम्मीनादाबलाई बोलाए ।
David summoned the priests Zadok and Abiathar and the Levites Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, 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 he said to them, “You are the heads of the Levitical families. You and your relatives must consecrate yourselves so that you may bring the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel, to the place 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 ।”
It was because you Levites were not with us the first time that the LORD our God burst forth in anger against us. For we did not consult Him about the proper order.”
14 यसैले परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको सन्दूकलाई तिनीहरूले ल्याउन सकून् भनेर पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूले आफैलाई पवित्र गरे ।
So the priests and Levites consecrated themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel.
15 यसैले परमप्रभुको वचनको अनुरण गरेर मोशाले आज्ञा दिएझैं लेवीहरूले परमेश्वरको सन्दूकलाई आ-आफ्ना काँधमा डन्डाले बोकेर ल्याए ।
And the Levites carried the ark of God on their shoulders with the poles, as Moses had commanded in accordance with the word of the LORD.
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 ।
David also told the leaders of the Levites to appoint their relatives as singers to lift up their voices with joy, accompanied by musical instruments—harps, lyres, and cymbals.
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 son of Joel; from his brothers, Asaph son of Berechiah; from their brothers the Merarites, Ethan 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 next in rank: Zechariah, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, and the gatekeepers Obed-edom and Jeiel.
19 सङ्गीतकार हेमान, आसाप र एतानलाई ठुलो आवाज निकाल्ने काँसका झ्यालीहरू बजाउन नियुक्त गरियो ।
The musicians Heman, Asaph, and Ethan were to sound the bronze cymbals.
20 जकरिया, अजीएल, शमीरामोत, यहीएल, उन्नी, एलीआब, मासेयाह र बनायाहले सारङ्गीमा अलामोत राग बजाए ।
Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah were to play the harps according to Alamoth.
21 मत्तित्याह, एलीपलेहू, मिक्नेयाह, ओबेद-एदोम, यीएल र अजज्याहले वीणामा शिमिनिथ राग बजाएर बाटोमा अगि लागे ।
And Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah were to lead the music with lyres according to Sheminith.
22 लेवीहरूका अगुवा कनन्याह सङ्गीतका निर्देशक थिए, किनकि तिनी सङ्गीत गुरु थिए ।
Chenaniah the head Levite was the director of the music because he was highly skilled.
23 बेरेक्याह र एल्काना सन्दूकका गार्डहरू थिए ।
Berechiah and Elkanah were to be guardians of 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 ।
Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer—the priests—were to blow the trumpets before the ark of God. Obed-edom and Jehiah were also to be guardians of 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, the elders of Israel, and the commanders of thousands went with rejoicing to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD from the house of Obed-edom.
26 परमप्रभुका करारको सन्दूक बोक्ने लेवीहरूलाई परमेश्वरले सहायता गर्नुभएको हुनाले तिनीहरूले सात वटा साँढे र सात वटा भेडा बलिदान चढाए ।
And because God helped the Levites who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD, they sacrificed seven bulls 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 ।
Now David was dressed in a robe of fine linen, as were all the Levites who were carrying the ark, as well as the singers and Chenaniah, the director of music for the singers. David also wore a linen ephod.
28 यसरी सबै इस्राएलले आनन्दले कराउँदै सीङ र तुरहीहरूका आवाजमा र झ्याली, सारङ्गी र वीणा बजाउँदै परमप्रभुका करारको सन्दूक ल्याए ।
So all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, with the sounding of rams’ horns and trumpets, and with cymbals and the music of harps and lyres.
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 ।
As the ark of the covenant of the LORD was entering the City of David, Saul’s daughter Michal looked down from a window and saw King David dancing and celebrating, and she despised him in her heart.
