Первая книга Паралипоменон 15
1 И сотвори себе домы во граде Давидове, и уготова место кивоту Божию, и сотвори ему скинию.
David [commanded his workers to] build some houses for him in Jerusalem. He also told them to set up a tent in which to put the Sacred Chest.
2 Тогда рече Давид: не леть есть, (да от всякаго) носится кивот Божий, но токмо от левит, понеже избра их Господь носити кивот Господень и служити Ему даже до века.
He said, “Only the descendants of Levi are permitted to carry God’s Sacred Chest, because they are the ones whom God chose to carry it and to serve him forever.”
3 И собра Давид весь Израиль во Иерусалим, да внесется кивот Божий на место, еже уготова ему.
David summoned all the people of Israel to come to Jerusalem. He wanted the Sacred Chest of Yahweh to be put in the place that he had made for it.
4 И собра Давид сынов Аароновых и левиты:
He summoned the descendants of Aaron, [who was the first Supreme Priest, ] and the other descendants of Levi.
5 от сынов Каафовых Уриил началник и братия его, сто двадесять:
120 descendants of Kohath, who was Levi’s second son, came, with Uriel their leader.
6 от сынов Мерариных Асаиа началник и братия его, двести пятьдесят:
There were 220 descendants of Merari, Levi’s third son, who came, with Asaiah their leader.
7 от сынов Герсоних Иоиль началник и братия его, сто тридесять:
There were 130 descendants of Gershon, Levi’s first son, who came, with Joel their leader.
8 от сынов Елисафаних Семеиа началник и братия его, двести:
There were 200 people from Elizaphan’s clan who came, with Shemaiah their leader.
9 от сынов Хевроновых Елиил началник и братия его, осмьдесят:
There were 80 people from Hebron’s clan who came, with Eliel their leader.
10 от сынов Озиилевых Аминадав началник и братия его, сто дванадесять.
And there were 112 people from Uzziel’s clan who came, with Amminadab their leader.
11 И призва Давид Садока и Авиафара священники, и левиты Уриила, Асаиа и Иоиля, и Семеиана и Елиила и Аминадава,
David summoned the priests Zadok and Abiathar and these [other] descendants of Levi: Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.
12 и рече к ним: вы, началницы отечеств левитских, освятитеся вы и братия ваша, и принесите кивот Господа Бога Израилева (на место), идеже уготовах ему:
David said to them, “You are the leaders of the clans descended from Levi. You and the other descendants of Levi must purify yourselves, in order to [be able to do this special work for Yahweh. You must] bring the Sacred Chest of Yahweh, the God of us Israelis, up to the place that I have made for it [here in Jerusalem].
13 яко прежде вам не готовым сущым, раздели Господь Бог наш в нас, яко не взыскахом Его по разсуждению.
The first time that we tried to bring it, we did not ask Yahweh how we should carry it {it should be carried}. You [descendants of Levi] were not the ones who carried it, so Yahweh our God punished us.”
14 И освятишася священницы и левити, да внесут кивот Господа Бога Израилева.
Then the priests and the [other] descendants of Levi [performed the rituals to] purify themselves, in order that it would be proper for them to do the work of carrying the Sacred Chest of Yahweh, the God of us Israeli people.
15 И взяша сынове левитстии кивот Божий, якоже повеле Моисей словом Божиим по писанию, рамены своими на носилех.
The descendants of Levi [inserted] the poles [into the rings on] the Sacred Chest so that with them, they could carry the Sacred Chest on their shoulders, like Moses had commanded, and like Yahweh had said that they should.
16 И рече Давид началником левитским: поставите братию свою певцев во органех, песнех мусикийских, псалтирех, в гуслех и кимвалех, да возгласят в высоту гласом веселия.
David told the leaders of the descendants of Levi to appoint some of their relatives to sing joyful songs and play lyres, harps, and cymbals [while they were carrying the Sacred Chest].
17 И поставиша левити Емана сына Иоилева: и от братий его Асафа сына Варахиина: и от сынов Мерариных, братий его, Ефана сына Кисеова:
So they appointed Heman and his relatives Asaph and Ethan. Heman was the son of Joel; Asaph was the son of Berekiah. Ethan, a descendant of Merari, was Kushaiah’s son.
18 и с ними братия их, втории (чином), Захариа и Озиил, и Семирамоф и Иеиил, и Ананий и Елиав, и Ванеа и Маасиа, и Маттафиа и Елифала, и Макениа и Авдедом, и Иеиил и Озиа, дверницы.
There was also another group of descendants of Levi who were appointed: Zechariah, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, and two of the Sacred Tent gatekeepers, Obed-Edom and Jeiel.
19 И певцы Еман, Асаф и Ефам в кимвалы медяны (возглашающе) в слышание:
Heman, Asaph and Ethan sang, and also played bronze cymbals.
20 Захариа же и Озиил, и Семирамоф и Иеиил, и Ананий и Елиав, и Маасиа и Ванеа со гусльми тайны пояху:
Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah played lyres.
21 и Маттафиа и Елифала, и Макениа и Авдедом, и Иеиил и Озиа в кимвалех пояху, еже превзыти:
Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, Jeiel and Azaziah played harps.
22 и Хонениа началник левитский, началник пений, зане разумен бе:
Kenaniah, the leader of the descendants of Levi, directed the singing because he was very skilled at doing that.
23 и Варахиа и Елкана дверницы кивота:
Berekiah and Elkanah were two of the men who guarded the Sacred Chest.
24 и Совениа и Иосафат, и Нафанаил и Амасиа, и Захариа и Ванай и Елиезер священницы трубящии трубами пред кивотом Божиим: и Авдедом и Иеиа дверницы кивота Божия.
The priests Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer were appointed to blow trumpets in front of the Sacred Chest. Obed-Edom and Jehiah also guarded the Sacred Chest.
25 И бе Давид и старейшины Израилевы и тысящницы идущии, еже изнести кивот завета Господня из дому Авдедомля с веселием.
David and the Israeli leaders and the officers who commanded 1,000 soldiers went to bring the Sacred Chest back from Obed-Edom’s house. They were very joyful as they brought it to Jerusalem.
26 И бысть егда укрепляше Бог левиты носящыя кивот завета Господня, и пожроша седмь телцев и седмь овнов:
God helped the descendants of Levi who carried the Sacred Chest of Yahweh; therefore David and the leaders sacrificed seven bulls and seven (rams/male sheep) [to thank him].
27 Давид же бяше одеян ризою виссонною, и вси левити, носящии кивот завета Господня, певцы же и Хонениа началник песней поющих, на Давиде же бе ефуд виссонный.
All the descendants of Levi who carried the Sacred Chest, all the singers, and Kenaniah, the man who directed those who sang, wore robes of fine white linen and sacred vests made of fine linen. David also wore a sacred vest made of white linen.
28 И весь Израиль провождаше кивот завета Господня с восклицанием и гласом трубным, и с трубами и кимвалы, глашающе в гусли и кифары.
So all of the Israeli people joined in bringing the Sacred Chest up [to Jerusalem]. They shouted [joyfully, while the musicians] blew horns and trumpets, and played cymbals, lyres, and harps.
29 И бысть егда прииде кивот завета Господня даже до града Давидова, и Мелхола дщи Сауля смотряше во окно, и виде царя Давида скачуща и играюща и уничижи его в сердцы своем.
While they were bringing the Sacred Chest into Jerusalem, Saul’s daughter Michal watched them, looking out of a window. When she saw King David dancing and celebrating, she despised him.
