< 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 built houses for himself in the city of David. He prepared a place for the ark of God and 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, “Only the Levites may carry the ark of God, for they had been chosen by Yahweh to carry the ark of Yahweh, and to serve him forever.”
3 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुको सन्‍दूकलाई त्‍यसको निम्‍ति तयार गरिएको ठाउँमा ल्‍याउनलाई दाऊदले सारा इस्राएललाई यरूशलेममा भेला गराए ।
Then David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of Yahweh to the place he had prepared for it.
4 दाऊदले हारूनका सन्‍तानहरू र लेवीहरूलाई एकसाथ भेला गराए ।
David gathered together Aaron's descendants and the Levites.
5 कहातका सन्‍तानबाट मुखिया उरीएल र तिनका आफन्तहरू १२० जना थिए ।
From the descendants of Kohath, there was Uriel the leader and his relatives, 120 men.
6 मरारीका सन्‍तानबाट मुखिया असायाह र तिनका आफन्तहरू २२० जना थिए ।
From the descendants of Merari, there was Asaiah the leader and his relatives, 220 men.
7 गेर्शोनका सन्‍तानबाट मुखिया योएल र तिनका आफन्तहरू १३० जना थिए ।
From the descendants of Gershom, there was Joel the leader and his relatives, 130 men.
8 एलीजापानका सन्‍तानबाट मुखिया शमायाह र तिनका आफन्तहरू २०० जना थिए ।
From the descendants of Elizaphan, there was Shemaiah the leader and his relatives, 200 men.
9 हेब्रोनका सन्‍तानबाट एलीएल मुखिया र तिनका आफन्तहरू ८० जना थिए ।
From the descendants of Hebron, there was Eliel the leader and his relatives, eighty men.
10 उज्‍जीएलका सन्‍तानबाट मुखिया अम्‍मीनादाब र तिनका आफन्तहरू ११२ जना थिए ।
From the descendants of Uzziel, there was Amminadab the leader and his relatives, 112 men.
11 दाऊदले सादोक र अबियाथार पुजारीहरू, अनि लेवी उरीएल, असायाह, योएल, शमायाह, एलीएल र अम्‍मीनादाबलाई बोलाए ।
David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, 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 ।
He said to them, “You are the leaders of the Levite families. Consecrate yourselves, both you and your brothers, so that you may bring up the ark of Yahweh, 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 ।”
You did not carry it the first time. That is why Yahweh our God broke out against us, for we did not seek him or obey his decree.”
14 यसैले परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वरको सन्‍दूकलाई तिनीहरूले ल्‍याउन सकून् भनेर पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूले आफैलाई पवित्र गरे ।
So the priests and the Levites consecrated themselves so they could bring up the ark of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
15 यसैले परमप्रभुको वचनको अनुरण गरेर मोशाले आज्ञा दिएझैं लेवीहरूले परमेश्‍वरको सन्‍दूकलाई आ-आफ्‍ना काँधमा डन्‍डाले बोकेर ल्‍याए ।
So the Levites carried the ark of God on their shoulders with the poles, as Moses had commanded—following the rules given by the word of Yahweh.
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 spoke to the leaders of the Levites to assign their brothers to be musicians with musical instruments, stringed instruments, harps and cymbals, playing loudly and joyfully lifting up their voices.
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 and one of his brothers, Asaph son of Berechiah. They also appointed kinsmen from Merari's descendants and 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 ।
With them were their kinsmen of second rank: Zechariah, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed Edom, and Jeiel, the gatekeepers.
19 सङ्गीतकार हेमान, आसाप र एतानलाई ठुलो आवाज निकाल्ने काँसका झ्‍यालीहरू बजाउन नियुक्त गरियो ।
The musicians Heman, Asaph, and Ethan were appointed to play loud 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 played the stringed instruments, set to Alamoth.
21 मत्तित्‍याह, एलीपलेहू, मिक्‍नेयाह, ओबेद-एदोम, यीएल र अजज्‍याहले वीणामा शिमिनिथ राग बजाएर बाटोमा अगि लागे ।
Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed Edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah led the way with harps set to the Sheminith.
22 लेवीहरूका अगुवा कनन्‍याह सङ्गीतका निर्देशक थिए, किनकि तिनी सङ्गीत गुरु थिए ।
Kenaniah, leader of the Levites, was the director of the singing because he was a teacher of music.
23 बेरेक्‍याह र एल्‍काना सन्‍दूकका गार्डहरू थिए ।
Berechiah and Elkanah were guards 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 ।
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 guards 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, the elders of Israel, and the commanders over thousands went to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh out of Obed Edom's house with rejoicing.
26 परमप्रभुका करारको सन्‍दूक बोक्‍ने लेवीहरूलाई परमेश्‍वरले सहायता गर्नुभएको हुनाले तिनीहरूले सात वटा साँढे र सात वटा भेडा बलिदान चढाए ।
While God helped the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, 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 ।
David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, as were the Levites who carried the ark, the singers, and Kenaniah, the leader of the song with the singers. David was wearing 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 Yahweh with joyful shouting, and with the sound of horns and trumpets, with cymbals, and with stringed instruments 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 ।
But as the ark of the covenant of Yahweh came to the city of David, Michal daughter of Saul, looked out the window. She saw King David dancing and celebrating. Then she despised him in her heart.
