15 ¶ David fè yo bati anpil kay pou li nan lavil David la. Li pare yon anplasman pou Bwat Kontra Bondye a, li moute yon gwo tant twal pou li.

Epi li di: -Se moun Levi yo ase ki pou pote Bwat Kontra Bondye a, paske se yo menm Seyè a te chwazi pou pote Bwat la, se yo li te chwazi pou sèvi l' pou tout tan.

Lèfini, li reyini tout pèp Izrayèl la lavil Jerizalèm pou yo pote Bwat Kontra a kote li te pare pou li a.

Apre sa, li voye chache tout moun nan ras fanmi Arawon yo ansanm ak moun Levi yo.

Nan branch fanmi Keyat la, te gen Ouryèl, chèf la, ak tout fanmi l' yo. Sa te fè antou sanven (120).

Nan branch fanmi Merari a, te gen Asaja, chèf la, ak tout fanmi l' yo. Sa te fè antou desanven (220).

Nan branch fanmi Gèchon an, te gen Joèl, chèf la, ak tout fanmi l' yo. Sa te fè antou santrant (130).

Nan branch fanmi Elizafan an, te gen Semaja, chèf la, ak tout fanmi l' yo. Sa te fè antou desan (200).

Nan branch fanmi Ebwon an, te gen Eliyèl, chèf la, ak tout fanmi l' yo. Sa te fè antou katreven.

10 Nan branch fanmi Ouzyèl la te gen Aminadad, chèf la, ak tout fanmi l' yo. Sa te fè antou sandouz (112).

11 David rele Zadòk ak Abyata, prèt yo, ansanm ak sis moun Levi: Ouryèl, Asaja, Joèl, Chemaja, Eliyèl ak Aminadad.

12 Li di yo: -Se nou menm ki chèf branch fanmi Levi yo. Mete nou nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou Bondye, nou menm ansanm ak tout moun nan fanmi nou, pou nou ka al pote Bwat Kontra Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, kote mwen fè pare pou li a.

13 Premye fwa a, nou pa t' la. Se poutèt sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te touye kèk nan nou paske nou pa t' fè l' jan nou te dwe fè l' la.

14 Se konsa, prèt yo ak moun Levi yo al mete yo nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye, pou yo te ka al pote Bwat Kontra Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.

15 Yo mete Bwat la sou gwo travès long yo, yo leve l' mete l' sou zepòl yo, yo pote l' ale jan Moyiz te ba yo lòd fè l' la dapre pawòl Seyè a.

16 David bay chèf moun Levi yo lòd pou yo chwazi divès moun nan fanmi yo ki konn chante, pou yo vini ak enstriman mizik yo, gita, bandjo ak senbal, pou jwe mizik cho paske kè tout moun te kontan.

17 Moun Levi yo chwazi Eyman, pitit gason Joèl la, ansanm ak Asaf, pitit gason Berekya, yon fanmi Eyman, ak Etan, pitit gason Kouchaja nan branch fanmi Merari a, fanmi ak de lòt premye yo.

18 Apre sa, yo chwazi lòt moun Levi nan menm fanmi ak premye yo, pou ede yo nan travay yo. Se te Zakari, Aziyèl, Semiramòt, Jekiyèl, Ouni, Eliyab, Benaja, Maseja, Matitya, Elifeleou, Mikneja, ak de gad pòtay tanp lan, Obèd-Edon ak Jeyèl.

19 Eyman, Asaf ak Etan, sanba yo, te reskonsab pou bat senbal kwiv yo pou fè mizik.

20 Zakari, Aziyèl, Semiramòt, Jekiyèl, Ouni, Eliyab, Maseja ak Benaja t'ap jwe premye gita yo.

21 Matitya, Elifeleou, Mikneja, Obèd-Edon, Jeyèl ak Azazya t'ap jwe gita bas. Se yo ki pou te bay kadans chante yo.

22 Se Kenanya, chèf moun Levi ki te reskonsab pote Bwat la, ki t'ap dirije yo, paske li te fò nan fè travay konsa.

23 Se Berekya ak Elkana ki t'ap pote Bwat Kontra a.

24 Men non prèt yo te chwazi pou kònen twonpèt devan Bwat Kontra a. Se te Chebanyas, Jozafa, Netaneyèl, Amasayi, Zakari, Benaja ak Elyezè. Obèd-Edon ak Jebija te la pou pote Bwat Kontra a tou.

25 ¶ Se konsa David ak tout chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo ansanm ak tout chèf rejiman mil sòlda yo ale lakay Obèd-Edon, yo pran Bwat Kontra a pou yo pote l' lavil Jerizalèm ak kè kontan.

26 Yo touye sèt towo ak sèt belye pou Bondye te ka ede moun Levi ki t'ap pote Bwat Kontra a.

27 David te gen yon rad fèt ak twal fin blan sou li, menm jan ak tout moun Levi yo ki t'ap mache devan Bwat Kontra a, sanba yo ak Kenaja ki t'ap dirije travay transpò a. David te gen yon moso twal fin blan tou mare nan ren li.

28 Se konsa, tout pèp Izrayèl la ale ansanm ak Bwat Kontra Seyè a, yo pote l' lavil Jerizalèm. Yo t'ap rele, yo t'ap fè fèt. Yo t'ap jwe klewon, twonpèt, senbal, gita ak bandjo sou tout wout la.

29 Antan yo t'ap antre ak Bwat Kontra a lavil Jerizalèm, Mikal, pitit fi Sayil la, te kanpe bò yon fennèt ap gade. Li wè David ki t'ap danse fè laviwonn devan Bwat la. Li vin pa gen yon san pou li ankò.

The Ark Brought to Jerusalem(A)

15 After David had constructed buildings for himself in the City of David, he prepared(B) a place for the ark of God and pitched(C) a tent for it. Then David said, “No one but the Levites(D) may carry(E) the ark of God, because the Lord chose them to carry the ark of the Lord and to minister(F) before him forever.”

David assembled all Israel(G) in Jerusalem to bring up the ark of the Lord to the place he had prepared for it. He called together the descendants of Aaron and the Levites:(H)

From the descendants of Kohath,

Uriel(I) the leader and 120 relatives;

from the descendants of Merari,

Asaiah the leader and 220 relatives;

from the descendants of Gershon,[a]

Joel the leader and 130 relatives;

from the descendants of Elizaphan,(J)

Shemaiah the leader and 200 relatives;

from the descendants of Hebron,(K)

Eliel the leader and 80 relatives;

10 from the descendants of Uzziel,

Amminadab the leader and 112 relatives.

11 Then David summoned Zadok(L) and Abiathar(M) the priests, and Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel and Amminadab the Levites. 12 He said to them, “You are the heads of the Levitical families; you and your fellow Levites are to consecrate(N) yourselves and bring up the ark of the Lord, the God of Israel, to the place I have prepared for it. 13 It was because you, the Levites,(O) did not bring it up the first time that the Lord our God broke out in anger against us.(P) We did not inquire of him about how to do it in the prescribed way.(Q) 14 So the priests and Levites consecrated themselves in order to bring up the ark of the Lord, the God of Israel. 15 And the Levites carried the ark of God with the poles on their shoulders, as Moses had commanded(R) in accordance with the word of the Lord.(S)

16 David(T) told the leaders of the Levites(U) to appoint their fellow Levites as musicians(V) to make a joyful sound with musical instruments: lyres, harps and cymbals.(W)

17 So the Levites appointed Heman(X) son of Joel; from his relatives, Asaph(Y) son of Berekiah; and from their relatives the Merarites,(Z) Ethan son of Kushaiah; 18 and with them their relatives next in rank: Zechariah,[b] Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom(AA) and Jeiel,[c] the gatekeepers.

19 The musicians Heman,(AB) Asaph and Ethan were to sound the bronze cymbals; 20 Zechariah, Jaaziel,[d] Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah and Benaiah were to play the lyres according to alamoth,[e] 21 and Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, Jeiel and Azaziah were to play the harps, directing according to sheminith.[f] 22 Kenaniah the head Levite was in charge of the singing; that was his responsibility because he was skillful at it.

23 Berekiah and Elkanah were to be doorkeepers for the ark. 24 Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah and Eliezer the priests were to blow trumpets(AC) before the ark of God. Obed-Edom and Jehiah were also to be doorkeepers for the ark.

25 So David and the elders of Israel and the commanders of units of a thousand went to bring up the ark(AD) of the covenant of the Lord from the house of Obed-Edom, with rejoicing. 26 Because God had helped the Levites who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord, seven bulls and seven rams(AE) were sacrificed. 27 Now David was clothed in a robe of fine linen, as were all the Levites who were carrying the ark, and as were the musicians, and Kenaniah, who was in charge of the singing of the choirs. David also wore a linen ephod.(AF) 28 So all Israel(AG) brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouts,(AH) with the sounding of rams’ horns(AI) and trumpets, and of cymbals, and the playing of lyres and harps.

29 As the ark of the covenant of the Lord was entering the City of David, Michal daughter of Saul watched from a window. And when she saw King David dancing and celebrating, she despised him in her heart.
