1 Makoronike 15

1 Dhavhidhi paakapedza kuzvivakira dzimba muguta raDhavhidhi, akagadzira nzvimbo yainogara areka yaMwari uye akaidzikira tende.

And [David] made for himself houses in the city of David, and he prepared a place for the ark of God, and made a tent for it.

2 Ipapo Dhavhidhi akati, “Hakuna munhu kunze kwavaRevhi anofanira kutakura areka yaMwari, nokuti Jehovha akavasarudza kuti vatakure areka yaJehovha uye kuti vashumire pamberi pake nokusingaperi.”

Then said David, It is not [lawful for any] to bear the ark of God, but the Levites; for the Lord has chosen them to bear the ark of the Lord, and to minister to him for ever.

3 Dhavhidhi akaunganidza Israeri yose muJerusarema kuti vatore areka yaJehovha vagoiisa kunzvimbo yaakanga aigadzirira.

And David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the Lord to the place which he [had] prepared for it.

4 Akaunganidza zvizvarwa zvaAroni navaRevhi:

And David gathered together the sons of Aaron the Levites.

5 kubva kuzvizvarwa zvaKohati, Urieri mutungamiri nehama dzake zana namakumi maviri;

Of the sons of Caath; [there was] Uriel the chief, and his brethren, a hundred and twenty.

6 kubva kuzvizvarwa zvaMerari, Asaya mutungamiri nehama dzake mazana maviri namakumi maviri;

Of the sons of Merari; Asaia the chief, and his brethren, two hundred and twenty.

7 kubva kuzvizvarwa zvaGerishoni, Joere mutungamiri nehama dzake zana namakumi matatu;

Of the sons of Gedson; Joel the chief, and his brethren, a hundred and thirty.

8 kubva kuzvizvarwa zvaErizafani, Shemaya mutungamiri nehama dzake mazana maviri;

Of the sons of Elisaphat; Semei the chief, and his brethren, two hundred.

9 kubva kuzvizvarwa zvaHebhuroni, Erieri mutungamiri nehama dzake makumi masere;

Of the sons of Chebrom; Eliel the chief, and his brethren eighty.

10 kubva kuzvizvarwa zvaUzieri, Aminadhabhi mutungamiri nehama dzake zana negumi navaviri.

Of the sons of Oziel; Aminadab the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twelve.

11 Ipapo Dhavhidhi akadana Zadhoki naAbhiatari vaprista, naUrieri, Asaya, Joere, Shemaya, Erieri naAminadhabhi vaRevhi.

And David called Sadoc and Abiathar the priests, and the Levites, Uriel, Asaia, and Joel, and Semaia, and Eliel, and Aminadab,

12 Akati kwavari, “Imi muri vakuru vemhuri dzavaRevhi, imi navamwe vaRevhi vose munofanira kuzvinatsa kuti mukwire neareka yaJehovha Mwari weIsraeri kunzvimbo yandakaigadzirira.

and said to them, You [are] the heads of the families of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, you and your brethren, and you shall carry up the ark of the God of Israel, [to the place] which I have prepared for it.

13 Izvi zvakaitika nokuti imi vaRevhi hamuna kukwira neareka pakutanga paya Jehovha Mwari wedu paakatiratidza kutsamwa kukuru. Hatina kunge tabvunza kwaari kuti tingazviite sei nenzira yakarayirwa.”

For because you were not [ready] at the first, our God made a breach upon us, because we sought him not according to the ordinance.

14 Saka vaprista navaRevhi vakazvinatsa kuti vakwire neareka yaJehovha Mwari waIsraeri.

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

15 Uye vaRevhi vakatakura areka yaMwari namatanda pamapfudzi avo, sezvakanga zvarayirwa naMozisi maererano neshoko raJehovha.

And the sons of the Levites took the ark of God, (as Moses commanded by the word of God according to the scripture) upon their shoulders with staves.

16 Dhavhidhi akataurira vatungamiri vavaRevhi kuti vagadze hama dzavo kuti vave vaimbi kuti vazonoimba dzimbo dzomufaro nezviridzwa zvaiti: mitengeranwa, mbira, namakandira.

And David said to the chiefs of the Levites, Set your brethren the singers with musical instruments, lutes, harps, and cymbals, to sound aloud with a voice of joy.

17 Saka vaRevhi vakagadza Hemani mwanakomana waJoere; kubva kuhama dzake Asafi mwanakomana waBherekia; uye kubva kuhama dzavo vaMerari, Etani mwanakomana waKushaya;

So the Levites appointed Aeman the son of Joel; Asaph the son of Barachias [was one] of his brethren; and Aethan the son of Kisaeus was of the sons of Merari their brethren;

18 uye pamwe chete navo hama dzavo dzaitevera paukuru dzaiti: Zekaria, Jaazieri, Shemiramoti, Jehieri, Uni, Eriabhi, Bhenaya, Maaseya, Matitia, Eriferehu, Mikineya, Obhedhi-Edhomu, Jeyeri varindi vemikova.

and with them their brethren of the second rank, Zacharias, and Oziel, and Semiramoth, and Jeiel, and Elioel, and Eliab, and Banaia, and Maasaia, and Matthathia, and Eliphena, and Makellia, and Abdedom, and Jeiel, and Ozias, the porters.

19 Vaimbi vaiti Hemani, Asafi naEtani vakagadzwa kuti varidze makandira endarira.

And the singers, Aeman, Asaph, and Aethan, with brazen cymbals to make [a sound] to be heard.

20 Zekaria, Azieri, Shemiramoti, Jehieri, Uni, Eriabhi, Maaseya, naBhenaya vaizoridza mitengeranwa, maererano nearamoti,

Zacharias, and Oziel, Semiramoth, Jeiel, Oni, Eliab, Maasaeas, Banaeas, with lutes, on alaemoth.

21 uye Matitia, Eriferehu, Mikineya, Obhedhi-Edhomu, Jeyeri, naAzazia vaizoridza mbira maererano neshiminiti.

And Mattathias, and Eliphalu, and Makenia, and Abdedom, and Jeiel, and Ozias, with harps of Amasenith, to make a loud noise.

22 Kenania mukuru wavaRevhi ndiye aitungamirira kuimba; ndiro rakanga riri basa rake nokuti aiva nyanzvi pariri.

And Chonenia chief of the Levites [was] master of the bands, because he was skilful.

23 Bherekia naErikana ndivo vaizova varindi vemikova weareka.

And Barachia and Elcana [were] doorkeepers of the ark.

24 Shebhania, Joshafati, Netaneri, Amasai, Zekaria, Bhenaya naErieza vaprista vaizoridza hwamanda pamberi peareka yaMwari. Obhedhi-Edhomu naJehia vaizovawo vatariri vomusuo weareka.

And Somnia, and Josaphat, and Nathanael, and Amasai, and Zacharia, and Banaea, and Eliezer, the priests, were sounding with trumpets before the ark of God: and Abdedom and Jeia [were] doorkeepers of the ark of God.

25 Dhavhidhi navakuru veIsraeri navakuru vamapoka ane chiuru vakaenda kundotora areka yesungano yaMwari kubva kumba kwaObhedhi-Edhomu, vachifara.

So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains of thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant from the house of Abdedom with gladness.

26 Nokuti Mwari akanga abatsira vaRevhi avo vainge vatakura areka yesungano yaMwari, vakabayira Mwari hando nomwe namakondobwe manomwe.

And it came to pass when God strengthened the Levites bearing the ark of the covenant of the Lord, that they sacrificed seven calves and seven rams.

27 Zvino Dhavhidhi akanga akapfeka nguo yomucheka wakanaka sezvakanga zvakaita vaimbi, naKenania akanga ari mutungamiri wokuimba kuvaimbi. Dhavhidhi akanga akapfekawo efodhi yomucheka.

And David [was] girded with a fine linen robe, and all the Levites [who were] bearing the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the singers, and Chonenias the master of the band of singers; also upon David [there was] a robe of fine linen.

28 Saizvozvo vaIsraeri vose vakakwidza neareka yesungano yaJehovha vachidanidzira, uye vachiridza mimhanzi yenyanga dzamakondobwe nehwamanda namakandira, uye vachiridza mitengeranwa nembira.

And all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouting, and with the sound of a horn, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, playing loudly on lutes and harps.

29 Zvino areka yesungano yaJehovha yakati yasvika muguta raDhavhidhi, Mikaeri mwanasikana waSauro akatarira napawindo. Uye akaona Mambo Dhavhidhi achipembera nokutamba, akamushora mumwoyo make.

And the ark of the covenant of the Lord arrived, and came to the city of David; and Melchol the daughter of Saul looked down through the window, and saw king David dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart.
