1 Seenaa 15

1 Daawit erga ofii isaatiif Magaalaa Daawit keessatti mana ijaarratee booddee taabota Waaqaatiif lafa qopheessee dunkaana dhaabe.

David made himself houses in David’s city; and he prepared a place for God’s ark, and pitched 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, “No one ought to carry God’s ark but the Levites. For the LORD has chosen them to carry God’s ark, and to minister to him forever.”

3 Daawitis taabota Waaqayyoo iddoo qopheesseef sanatti fiduuf Israaʼeloota hunda Yerusaalemitti walitti qabe.

David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the LORD’s ark to its place, which he had prepared for it.

4 Innis sanyiiwwan Aroonii fi Lewwota walitti waame; isaanis:

David gathered together the sons of Aaron and the Levites:

5 Ilmaan Qohaati keessaa, Uuriiʼeel hoogganaa sanaa fi firoota isaa nama 120;

of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the chief, and his brothers one hundred twenty;

6 ilmaan Meraarii keessaa, Asaayaa hoogganaa sanaa fi firoota isaa 220;

of the sons of Merari, Asaiah the chief, and his brothers two hundred twenty;

7 ilmaan Geershoom keessaa, Yooʼeel hoogganaa sanaa fi firoota isaa 130;

of the sons of Gershom, Joel the chief, and his brothers one hundred thirty;

8 ilmaan Eliisaafaan keessaa, Shemaaʼiyaa hoogganaa sanaa fi firoota isaa 200;

of the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chief, and his brothers two hundred;

9 ilmaan Kebroon keessaa, Eliiʼeel hoogganaa sanaa fi firoota isaa 80;

of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief, and his brothers eighty;

10 ilmaan Uziiʼeel keessaa, Amiinaadaab hoogganaa sanaa fi firoota isaa nama 112.

of the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab the chief, and his brothers one hundred twelve.

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 for the Levites: for 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.

and said to them, “You are the heads of the fathers’ households of the Levites. Sanctify yourselves, both you and your brothers, that you may bring the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel, up 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.”

For because you didn’t carry it at first, the LORD our God broke out in anger against us, because we didn’t seek him according to the ordinance.”

14 Kanaafuu luboonnii fi Lewwonni taabota Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel sana fiduuf of qulqulleessan.

So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel.

15 Lewwonni akkuma kan Museen dubbii Waaqayyootiin ajajetti taabota Waaqaa sana danqaraadhaan gatiittii isaaniitti ni baatan.

The children of the Levites bore God’s ark on their shoulders with its poles, as Moses commanded according to the LORD’s word.

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 chief of the Levites to appoint their brothers as singers with instruments of music, stringed instruments, harps, and cymbals, sounding aloud and lifting up their voices with joy.

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 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 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.

and with them their brothers of the second rank: Zechariah, Ben, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, the doorkeepers.

19 Faarfattoonni Heemaan, Asaafii fi Eetaan jedhaman akka kilillee naasiitiin sagalee isaanii ol fudhatanii faarfannaa dhageessisaniif ni muudaman;

So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were given cymbals of bronze to sound aloud;

20 Zakkaariyaas, Aziiʼeel Shemiiraamoot, Yehiiʼeel, Unnii, Eliiyaabi, Maʼaseyaanii fi Benaayaa immoo akka seera alamootiitti kiraaraan faarfatu ture;

and Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with stringed instruments set to Alamoth;

21 akkasumas Matiitiyaan, Eliipheleehuu, Miiqneyaan, Oobeed Edoom, Yeʼiiʼeel, Azaaziyaan akka seera shiimiiniitiitti baganaa taphatu ture.

and Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps tuned to the eight-stringed lyre, to lead.

22 Kenaaniyaan hangaftichi Lewwotaa itti gaafatamaa faarfannaa ture; innis itti gaafatamummaa kana sababii ogummaa isaa qabuuf fudhate.

Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was over the singing. He taught the singers, because he was skillful.

23 Berekiyaa fi Elqaanaan eegdota balbala taabotaa turan.

Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers 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, blew the shofars before God’s ark; and Obed-Edom and Jehiah were doorkeepers 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 captains over thousands went to bring the ark of the LORD’s covenant up out of the house of Obed-Edom with joy.

26 Isaanis sababii Waaqni Lewwota taabota kakuu Waaqayyoo baatan gargaareef korommii loonii torbaa fi korbeeyyii hoolaa torba aarsaa godhan.

When God helped the Levites who bore the ark of the LORD’s covenant, 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 all the Levites who bore the ark, the singers, and Chenaniah the choir master with the singers; and David had an ephod of linen on him.

28 Akkasiinis Israaʼel hundi gaanfa korbeessa hoolaatii fi malakata afuufaa, kilillee dhageessisaa, kiraaraa fi baganaadhaan sirbaa taabota kakuu Waaqayyoo sana ni fidan.

Thus all Israel brought the ark of the LORD’s covenant up with shouting, with sound of the cornet, with shofars, and with cymbals, sounding aloud 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.

As the ark of the LORD’s covenant came to David’s city, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David dancing and playing; and she despised him in her heart.
