1 Seenaa 15
1 Daawit erga ofii isaatiif Magaalaa Daawit keessatti mana ijaarratee booddee taabota Waaqaatiif lafa qopheessee dunkaana dhaabe.
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 Ergasiis Daawit, “Waan Waaqayyo akka isaan taabota Waaqaa baatanii bara baraan fuula isaa dura tajaajilaniif isaan filateef, Lewwota malee namni biraa taabota Waaqayyoo hin baatin” jedhee ajaje.
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 Daawitis taabota Waaqayyoo iddoo qopheesseef sanatti fiduuf Israaʼeloota hunda Yerusaalemitti walitti qabe.
Then David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of Yahweh to the place he had prepared for it.
4 Innis sanyiiwwan Aroonii fi Lewwota walitti waame; isaanis:
David gathered together Aaron's descendants and the Levites.
5 Ilmaan Qohaati keessaa, Uuriiʼeel hoogganaa sanaa fi firoota isaa nama 120;
From the descendants of Kohath, there was Uriel the leader and his relatives, 120 men.
6 ilmaan Meraarii keessaa, Asaayaa hoogganaa sanaa fi firoota isaa 220;
From the descendants of Merari, there was Asaiah the leader and his relatives, 220 men.
7 ilmaan Geershoom keessaa, Yooʼeel hoogganaa sanaa fi firoota isaa 130;
From the descendants of Gershom, there was Joel the leader and his relatives, 130 men.
8 ilmaan Eliisaafaan keessaa, Shemaaʼiyaa hoogganaa sanaa fi firoota isaa 200;
From the descendants of Elizaphan, there was Shemaiah the leader and his relatives, 200 men.
9 ilmaan Kebroon keessaa, Eliiʼeel hoogganaa sanaa fi firoota isaa 80;
From the descendants of Hebron, there was Eliel the leader and his relatives, eighty men.
10 ilmaan Uziiʼeel keessaa, Amiinaadaab hoogganaa sanaa fi firoota isaa nama 112.
From the descendants of Uzziel, there was Amminadab the leader and his relatives, 112 men.
11 Ergasiis Daawit luboota jechuunis Saadoqii fi Abiyaataar akkasumas Lewwota jechuunis Uuriiʼeel, Asaayaa, Yooʼeel, Shemaaʼiyaa, Eliiʼeelii fi Amiinaadaabin ni waame;
David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and the Levites Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.
12 akkanas isaaniin jedhe; “Isin hangafoota maatiiwwan Lewwotaa ti; isinii fi Lewwonni akka keessanii of qulqulleessaa; ergasiis taabota Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel gara iddoo ani qopheesseefitti fidaa.
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 Sababii isin Lewwonni yeroo jalqabaatti taabota sana hin fidiniif Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya nutti dheekkame. Nu akka seerri ajajutti isa hin barbaaddanneetii.”
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 Kanaafuu luboonnii fi Lewwonni taabota Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel sana fiduuf of qulqulleessan.
So the priests and the Levites consecrated themselves so they could bring up the ark of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
15 Lewwonni akkuma kan Museen dubbii Waaqayyootiin ajajetti taabota Waaqaa sana danqaraadhaan gatiittii isaaniitti ni baatan.
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 Daawitis akka isaan meeshaa muuziiqaatiin jechuunis kiraaraan, baganaa fi kililleedhaan faarfannaa gammachuu faarfataniif akka isaan obboloota isaanii muudaniif Lewwota dura deemtotatti ni hime.
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 Kanaafuu Lewwonni Heemaan ilma Yooʼeel muudatan; obboloota isaa keessaa immoo Asaaf ilma Berekiyaa, obboloota isaanii gosa Meraarii keessaa Eetaan ilma Qushaayaa ni muuddatan;
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 isaan wajjinis obboloota isaanii kanneen isaanitti aannan: Zakkaariyaas, Yaʼaziiʼeel, Shemiiraamoot, Yehiiʼeel, Unnii, Eliiyaab, Benaayaa, Maʼaseyaa, Matiitiyaa, Eliipheleehuu, Miiqneyaa, Oobeed Edoomii fi Yeʼiiʼeel eegdota balbalaa turan.
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 Faarfattoonni Heemaan, Asaafii fi Eetaan jedhaman akka kilillee naasiitiin sagalee isaanii ol fudhatanii faarfannaa dhageessisaniif ni muudaman;
The musicians Heman, Asaph, and Ethan were appointed to play loud bronze cymbals.
20 Zakkaariyaas, Aziiʼeel Shemiiraamoot, Yehiiʼeel, Unnii, Eliiyaabi, Maʼaseyaanii fi Benaayaa immoo akka seera alamootiitti kiraaraan faarfatu ture;
Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah played the stringed instruments, set to Alamoth.
21 akkasumas Matiitiyaan, Eliipheleehuu, Miiqneyaan, Oobeed Edoom, Yeʼiiʼeel, Azaaziyaan akka seera shiimiiniitiitti baganaa taphatu ture.
Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed Edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah led the way with harps set to the Sheminith.
22 Kenaaniyaan hangaftichi Lewwotaa itti gaafatamaa faarfannaa ture; innis itti gaafatamummaa kana sababii ogummaa isaa qabuuf fudhate.
Kenaniah, leader of the Levites, was the director of the singing because he was a teacher of music.
23 Berekiyaa fi Elqaanaan eegdota balbala taabotaa turan.
Berechiah and Elkanah were guards for the ark.
24 Luboonni jechuunis, Shebaniyaan, Yooshaafaaxi, Naatnaaʼel, Amaasaayi, Zakkaariyaas, Benaayaanii fi Eliiʼezer fuula taabota Waaqaa duratti malakata afuufu ture. Oobeed Edoomii fi Yehiyaan immoo eegdota balbala taabotaa turan.
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 Kanaafuu Daawitii fi maanguddoonni Israaʼel akkasumas ajajjuuwwan kumaa gammachuudhaan taabota kakuu Waaqayyoo sana mana Oobeed Edoomiitii fiduu dhaqan.
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 Isaanis sababii Waaqni Lewwota taabota kakuu Waaqayyoo baatan gargaareef korommii loonii torbaa fi korbeeyyii hoolaa torba aarsaa godhan.
While God helped the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.
27 Daawitis wandaboo haphii quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame kan akka uffata Lewwonni taabota sana baatan, kan akka faarfattoonnii fi Kenaaniyaan qajeelchaan faarfannaa faarfattootaa uffatan sanaa uffatee ture. Daawitis dirata quncee talbaa irraa hojjetames uffatee ture.
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 Akkasiinis Israaʼel hundi gaanfa korbeessa hoolaatii fi malakata afuufaa, kilillee dhageessisaa, kiraaraa fi baganaadhaan sirbaa taabota kakuu Waaqayyoo sana ni fidan.
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 Yeroo taabonni kakuu Waaqayyoo Magaalaa Daawit seenutti Miikaal intalli Saaʼol foddaa keessaan ilaalaa turte. Isheenis akka Daawit Mootichi shuubbisee gammadu yommuu argitetti garaa ishee keessatti isa tuffatte.
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.
