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 ।
Also, he made houses for himself in the City of David. And built a place for the ark of God, and he set up 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: “It is illicit for anyone to carry the ark of God except the Levites, whom the Lord chose to carry it and to minister to himself, even unto eternity.”
3 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुको सन्दूकलाई त्यसको निम्ति तयार गरिएको ठाउँमा ल्याउनलाई दाऊदले सारा इस्राएललाई यरूशलेममा भेला गराए ।
And he gathered all of Israel in Jerusalem, so that the ark of God might be brought into its place, which he had prepared for it.
4 दाऊदले हारूनका सन्तानहरू र लेवीहरूलाई एकसाथ भेला गराए ।
Certainly, there were both the sons of Aaron and the Levites:
5 कहातका सन्तानबाट मुखिया उरीएल र तिनका आफन्तहरू १२० जना थिए ।
From the sons of Kohath, Uriel was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred twenty.
6 मरारीका सन्तानबाट मुखिया असायाह र तिनका आफन्तहरू २२० जना थिए ।
From the sons of Merari: Asaiah was the leader, and his brothers were two hundred twenty.
7 गेर्शोनका सन्तानबाट मुखिया योएल र तिनका आफन्तहरू १३० जना थिए ।
From the sons of Gershom: Joel was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred thirty.
8 एलीजापानका सन्तानबाट मुखिया शमायाह र तिनका आफन्तहरू २०० जना थिए ।
From the sons of Elizaphan: Shemaiah was the leader, and his brothers were two hundred.
9 हेब्रोनका सन्तानबाट एलीएल मुखिया र तिनका आफन्तहरू ८० जना थिए ।
From the sons of Hebron: Eliel was the leader, and his brothers were eighty.
10 उज्जीएलका सन्तानबाट मुखिया अम्मीनादाब र तिनका आफन्तहरू ११२ जना थिए ।
From the sons of Uzziel: Amminadab was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred twelve.
11 दाऊदले सादोक र अबियाथार पुजारीहरू, अनि लेवी उरीएल, असायाह, योएल, शमायाह, एलीएल र अम्मीनादाबलाई बोलाए ।
And 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 who are the leaders of the Levitical families, be sanctified with your brothers, and bring the ark of the Lord God of Israel to the place that has been 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 ।”
Otherwise, as it was before, when the Lord struck us because you were not present, so also it might be now, if we do what is illicit.”
14 यसैले परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको सन्दूकलाई तिनीहरूले ल्याउन सकून् भनेर पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूले आफैलाई पवित्र गरे ।
Therefore, the priests and the Levites were sanctified, so that they might carry the ark of the Lord 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 Levi took the ark of God, just as Moses had instructed, in accord with the word of the Lord, upon their shoulders by the bars.
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 leaders of the Levites, so that they might appoint, from their brothers, singers with musical instruments, specifically, psalteries, and harps, and cymbals, so that a joyful noise might resound on high.
17 यसैले लेवीहरूले योएलका छोरा हेमान, र तिनका दाजुभाइमध्ये बेरेक्याहका छोरा आसापलाई नियुक्त गरे । तिनीहरूले मरारीहरूको सन्तानका आफन्त कूशायाहका छोरा एतानलाई पनि नियुक्त गरे ।
And they appointed from the Levites: Heman, the son of Joel; and from his brothers, Asaph, the son of Berechiah; and truly, from their brothers, the sons of Merari: 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 were their brothers in the second rank: Zechariah, and Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jahiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, who were gatekeepers.
19 सङ्गीतकार हेमान, आसाप र एतानलाई ठुलो आवाज निकाल्ने काँसका झ्यालीहरू बजाउन नियुक्त गरियो ।
Now the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were sounding out with cymbals of brass.
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 were singing mysteries with the psalteries.
21 मत्तित्याह, एलीपलेहू, मिक्नेयाह, ओबेद-एदोम, यीएल र अजज्याहले वीणामा शिमिनिथ राग बजाएर बाटोमा अगि लागे ।
Then Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah and Obededom, and Jeiel and Azaziah were singing a song of victory with the harps, for the octave.
22 लेवीहरूका अगुवा कनन्याह सङ्गीतका निर्देशक थिए, किनकि तिनी सङ्गीत गुरु थिए ।
Now Chenaniah, the leader of the Levites, was foremost over the prophecies, in order to mark out in advance the melodies. For indeed, he was very skillful.
23 बेरेक्याह र एल्काना सन्दूकका गार्डहरू थिए ।
And Berechiah and Elkanah were porters 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 ।
And the priests, Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethanel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, were sounding the trumpets before the ark of God. And Obededom and Jehiah were porters of the ark.
25 यसैले दाऊद र इस्राएलका धर्म-गुरुहरू र हजार-हजारका फौजका कमाण्डरहरू ओबेद-एदोमको घरबाट परमप्रभुका करारको सन्दूक ल्याउनलाई रमाउँदै गए ।
Therefore, David, and all those greater by birth of Israel, and the tribunes, went to carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord from the house of Obededom with rejoicing.
26 परमप्रभुका करारको सन्दूक बोक्ने लेवीहरूलाई परमेश्वरले सहायता गर्नुभएको हुनाले तिनीहरूले सात वटा साँढे र सात वटा भेडा बलिदान चढाए ।
And when God had assisted the Levites, who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord, they immolated 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 clothed with a robe of fine linen, as were all the Levites who were carrying the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah, the leader of the prophecy among the singers. But David was also clothed with a linen ephod.
28 यसरी सबै इस्राएलले आनन्दले कराउँदै सीङ र तुरहीहरूका आवाजमा र झ्याली, सारङ्गी र वीणा बजाउँदै परमप्रभुका करारको सन्दूक ल्याए ।
And all of Israel were leading back the ark of the covenant of the Lord with jubilation, sounding out with the noise of horns, and trumpets, and cymbals, and 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 when the ark of the covenant of the Lord had arrived in the City of David, Michal, the daughter of Saul, gazing through a window, saw king David dancing and playing, and she despised him in her heart.
