1 इतिहास 15

1He made also houses for himself in the city of David: and built a place for the ark of God, and pitched a tabernacle for it.

2Then David said: No one ought to carry the ark of God, but the Levites, whom the Lord hath chosen to carry it, and to minister unto himself for ever.

3And he gathered all Israel together into Jerusalem, that the ark of God might be brought into its place, which he had prepared for it.

4And the sons of Aaron also, and the Levites.

5Of the children of Caath, Uriel was the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twenty.

6Of the sons of Merari, Asaia the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty.

7Of the sons of Gersom, Joel the chief, and his brethren a hundred and thirty.

8Of the sons of Elisaphan, Semeias the chief: and his brethren two hundred.

9Of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief: and his brethren eighty.

10Of the sons of Oziel, Aminadab the chief: and his brethren a hundred and twelve.

11And David called Sadoc, and Abiathar the priests, and the Levites, Uriel, Asaia, Joel, Semeia, Eliel, and Aminadab:

12And he said to them: You that are the heads of the Levitical families, be sanctified with your brethren, and brine the ark of the Lord the God of Israel to the place, which is prepared for it:

13Lest as the Lord at first struck us, because you were not present, the same should now also come to pass, by our doing some thing against the law.

14So the priests and the Levites were sanctified, to carry the ark of the Lord the God of Israel.

15And the sons of Levi took the ark of God as Moses had commanded, according to the word of the Lord, upon their shoulders, with the staves.

16And David spoke to the chiefs of the Levites, to appoint some of their brethren to be singers with musical instruments, to wit, on psalteries, and harps, and cymbals, that the joyful noise might resound on high.

17And they appointed Levites, Hemam the son of Joel, and of his brethren Asaph the son of Barachias: and of the sons of Merari, their brethren: Ethan the son of Casaia.

18And with them their brethren: in the second rank, Zacharias, and Ben, and Jaziel, and Semiramoth, and Jahiel, and Ani, and Eliab, and Banaias, and Maasias, and Mathathias, and Eliphalu, and Macenias, and Obededom, and Jehiel, the porters.

19Now the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, sounded with cymbals of brass.

20And Zacharias, and Oziel, and Semiramoth, and Jehiel, and Ani, and Eliab, and Maasias, and Banaias, sung mysteries upon psalteries.

21And Mathathias, and Eliphalu, and Macenias and Obededom, and Jehiel and Ozaziu, sung a song of victory for the octave upon harps.

22And Chonenias chief of the Levites, presided over the prophecy, to give out the tunes: for he was very skillful.

23And Barachias, and Elcana, were doorkeepers of the ark.

24And Sebenias, and Josaphat, and Nathanael, and Amasai, and Zacharias, and Banaias, and Eliezer the priests, sounded with trumpets, before the ark of God: and Obededom and Jehias were porters of the ark.

25So David and all the ancients of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the house of Obededom with joy.

26And when God had helped the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, they offered in sacrifice seven oxen, and seven rams.

27And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that carried the ark, and the singing men, and Chonenias the ruler of the prophecy among the singers: and David also had on him an ephod of linen.

28And all Israel brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord with joyful shouting, and sounding with the sound of the comet, and with trumpets, and cymbals, and psalteries, and harps.

29And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord was come to the city of David, Michol the daughter of Saul looking out at a window, saw king David dancing and playing, and she despised him in her heart.

1Fecit quoque sibi domos in civitate David: et ædificavit locum arcæ Dei, tetenditque ei tabernaculum.

2Tunc dixit David: Illicitum est ut a quocumque portetur arca Dei nisi a Levitis, quos elegit Dominus ad portandum eam, et ad ministrandum sibi usque in æternum.

3Congregavitque universum Israël in Jerusalem, ut afferretur arca Dei in locum suum, quem præparaverat ei:

4necnon et filios Aaron, et Levitas.

5De filiis Caath, Uriel princeps fuit, et fratres ejus centum viginti.

6De filiis Merari, Asaia princeps: et fratres ejus ducenti viginti.

7De filiis Gersom, Joël princeps: et fratres ejus centum triginta.

8De filiis Elisaphan, Semeias princeps: et fratres ejus ducenti.

9De filiis Hebron, Eliel princeps: et fratres ejus octoginta.

10De filiis Oziel, Aminadab princeps: et fratres ejus centum duodecim.

11Vocavitque David Sadoc et Abiathar sacerdotes, et Levitas, Uriel, Asaiam, Joël, Semeiam, Eliel, et Aminadab:

12et dixit ad eos: Vos, qui estis principes familiarum Leviticarum, sanctificamini cum fratribus vestris, et afferte arcam Domini Dei Israël ad locum qui ei præparatus est:

13ne ut a principio, quia non eratis præsentes, percussit nos Dominus; sic et nunc fiat, illicitum quid nobis agentibus.

14Sanctificati sunt ergo sacerdotes et Levitæ ut portarent arcam Domini Dei Israël.

15Et tulerunt filii Levi arcam Dei, sicut præceperat Moyses juxta verbum Domini, humeris suis in vectibus.

16Dixitque David principibus Levitarum, ut constituerent de fratribus suis cantores in organis musicorum, nablis videlicet, et lyris, et cymbalis, ut resonaret in excelsis sonitus lætitiæ.

17Constitueruntque Levitas: Heman filium Joël, et de fratribus ejus Asaph filium Barachiæ: de filiis vero Merari, fratribus eorum: Ethan filium Casaiæ.

18Et cum eis fratres eorum: in secundo ordine, Zachariam, et Ben, et Jaziel, et Semiramoth, et Jahiel, et Ani, Eliab, et Banaiam, et Maasiam, et Mathathiam, et Eliphalu, et Maceniam, et Obededom, et Jehiel, janitores.

19Porro cantores, Heman, Asaph, et Ethan, in cymbalis æneis concrepantes.

20Zacharias autem, et Oziel, et Semiramoth, et Jahiel, et Ani, et Eliab, et Maasias, et Banaias in nablis arcana cantabant.

21Porro Mathathias, et Eliphalu, et Macenias, et Obededom, et Jehiel, et Ozaziu, in citharis pro octava canebant epinicion.

22Chonenias autem princeps Levitarum, prophetiæ præerat, ad præcinendam melodiam: erat quippe valde sapiens.

23Et Barachias, et Elcana, janitores arcæ.

24Porro Sebenias, et Josaphat, et Nathanaël, et Amasai, et Zacharias, et Banaias, et Eliezer sacerdotes, clangebant tubis coram arca Dei: et Obededom et Jehias erant janitores arcæ.

25Igitur David, et omnes majores natu Israël, et tribuni, ierunt ad deportandam arcam fœderis Domini de domo Obededom cum lætitia.

26Cumque adjuvisset Deus Levitas qui portabant arcam fœderis Domini, immolabantur septem tauri, et septem arietes.

27Porro David erat indutus stola byssina, et universi Levitæ qui portabant arcam, cantoresque, et Chonenias princeps prophetiæ inter cantores: David autem etiam indutus erat ephod lineo.

28Universusque Israël deducebant arcam fœderis Domini in jubilo, et sonitu buccinæ, et tubis, et cymbalis, et nablis, et citharis concrepantes.

29Cumque pervenisset arca fœderis Domini usque ad civitatem David, Michol filia Saul prospiciens per fenestram vidit regem David saltantem atque ludentem, et despexit eum in corde suo.

1Also, he made houses for himself in the City of David. And built a place for the ark of God, and he set up a tent for it.

2Then David said: “It is illicit for anyone to carry the ark of God except the Levites, whom the Lord chose to carry it and to minister to himself, even unto eternity.”

3And he gathered all of Israel in Jerusalem, so that the ark of God might be brought into its place, which he had prepared for it.

4Certainly, there were both the sons of Aaron and the Levites:

5From the sons of Kohath, Uriel was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred twenty.

6From the sons of Merari: Asaiah was the leader, and his brothers were two hundred twenty.

7From the sons of Gershom: Joel was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred thirty.

8From the sons of Elizaphan: Shemaiah was the leader, and his brothers were two hundred.

9From the sons of Hebron: Eliel was the leader, and his brothers were eighty.

10From the sons of Uzziel: Amminadab was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred twelve.

11And David summoned the priests, Zadok and Abiathar, and the Levites: Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.

12And he said to them: “You who are the leaders of the Levitical families, be sanctified with your brothers, and bring the ark of the Lord God of Israel to the place that has been prepared for it.

13Otherwise, as it was before, when the Lord struck us because you were not present, so also it might be now, if we do what is illicit.”

14Therefore, the priests and the Levites were sanctified, so that they might carry the ark of the Lord God of Israel.

15And the sons of Levi took the ark of God, just as Moses had instructed, in accord with the word of the Lord, upon their shoulders by the bars.

16And David spoke to the leaders of the Levites, so that they might appoint, from their brothers, singers with musical instruments, specifically, psalteries, and harps, and cymbals, so that a joyful noise might resound on high.

17And they appointed from the Levites: Heman, the son of Joel; and from his brothers, Asaph, the son of Berechiah; and truly, from their brothers, the sons of Merari: Ethan, the son of Kushaiah.

18And with them were their brothers in the second rank: Zechariah, and Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jahiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, who were gatekeepers.

19Now the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were sounding out with cymbals of brass.

20And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah were singing mysteries with the psalteries.

21Then Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah and Obededom, and Jeiel and Azaziah were singing a song of victory with the harps, for the octave.

22Now Chenaniah, the leader of the Levites, was foremost over the prophecies, in order to mark out in advance the melodies. For indeed, he was very skillful.

23And Berechiah and Elkanah were porters of the ark.

24And the priests, Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethanel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, were sounding the trumpets before the ark of God. And Obededom and Jehiah were porters of the ark.

25Therefore, David, and all those greater by birth of Israel, and the tribunes, went to carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord from the house of Obededom with rejoicing.

26And when God had assisted the Levites, who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord, they immolated seven bulls and seven rams.

27Now David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, as were all the Levites who were carrying the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah, the leader of the prophecy among the singers. But David was also clothed with a linen ephod.

28And all of Israel were leading back the ark of the covenant of the Lord with jubilation, sounding out with the noise of horns, and trumpets, and cymbals, and psalteries, and harps.

29And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord had arrived in the City of David, Michal, the daughter of Saul, gazing through a window, saw king David dancing and playing, and she despised him in her heart.
