1 Crónicas 15

1Davi também fez casas para si em sua cidade, e preparou um lugar para a arca de Deus, e lhe armou uma tenda. 2Então Davi disse: Ninguém pode trazer a arca de Deus, a não ser os levitas; porque o SENHOR os escolheu para que transportassem a arca do SENHOR, e para lhe servirem eternamente. 3E Davi ajuntou a todo Israel em Jerusalém, para fazerem subir a arca do SENHOR a seu lugar, que ele tinha lhe preparado. 4Davi também ajuntou aos filhos de Arão e aos levitas: 5Dos filhos de Coate, Uriel o principal, e seus irmãos, cento e vinte; 6Dos filhos de Merari, Asaías o principal, e seus irmãos, duzentos e vinte; 7Dos filhos de Gérson, Joel o principal, e seus irmãos, cento e trinta; 8Dos filhos de Elisafã, Semaías o principal, e seus irmãos, duzentos; 9Dos filhos de Hebrom, Eliel o principal, e seus irmãos, oitenta; 10Dos filhos de Uziel, Amidadabe o principal, e seus irmãos, cento e doze. 11E Davi chamou aos sacerdotes Zadoque e Abiatar, e a os levitas Uriel, Asaías, Joel, Semaías, Eliel, e Aminadabe; 12E disse-lhes: Vós que sois os chefes das famílias entre os levitas, santificai-vos, vós e vossos irmãos, e fazei subir a arca do SENHOR, Deus de Israel, ao lugar que eu lhe preparei; 13Pois por não terdes feito assim vós da primeira vez, o SENHOR nosso Deus fez nos atingiu, porque não o buscamos conforme o mandamento. 14Assim os sacerdotes e os levitas se santificaram para trazerem a arca do SENHOR Deus de Israel. 15E os filhos dos levitas trouxeram a arca de Deus com as barras sobre seus ombros, assim como Moisés tinha mandado conforme a palavra do SENHOR. 16E Davi disse aos chefes dos levitas que constituíssem de seus irmãos cantores com instrumentos musicais, com saltérios, e harpas, e címbalos; para que fizessem sons e levantassem a voz com alegria. 17Então os levitas constituíram a Hemã, filho de Joel; e de seus irmãos, a Asafe filho de Berequias; e dos filhos de Merari e de seus irmãos, a Etã filho de Cusaías; 18E com eles a seus irmãos da segundo ordem, a Zacarias, Bene e Jaaziel, Semiramote, Jeiel, Uni, Eliabe, Benaia, Maaseias, Matitias, Elifeleu, Micneias, Obede-Edom, e Jeiel, os porteiros. 19E os cantores: Hemã, Asafe, e Etã, fizeram sons com címbalos de metal. 20E Zacarias, Aziel, Semiramote, Jeiel, Uni, Eliabe, Maaseias, e Benaia, com saltérios sobre Alamote. 21E Matitias, Elifeleu, Micneias, Obede-Edom, Jeiel, e Azazias, tocavam ao modo de Seminite. 22E Quenanias, chefe dos levitas, estava encarregado de conduzir o cântico; ele ensinava o cântico porque era entendido. 23E Berequias e Elcana eram porteiros da arca. 24E os sacerdotes Sebanias, Josafá, Natanael, Amasai, Zacarias, Benaia, e Eliézer, tocavam as trombetas diante da arca de Deus; e Obede-Edom e Jeías eram porteiros da arca. 25Sucedeu, pois, que Davi, os anciãos de Israel, e os capitães de milhares, foram fazer subir a arca do pacto do SENHOR, de casa de Obede-Edom, com alegria. 26E foi que, por Deus estar ajudando os levitas que levavam a arca do pacto do SENHOR, eles sacrificaram sete novilhos e sete carneiros. 27E Davi ia vestido de um roupão de linho fino, como também todos os levitas que levavam a arca, e os cantores; e Quenanias era o chefe da música e dos cantores. Davi também levava sobre si um éfode de linho. 28Assim todo Israel fez subir a arca do pacto do SENHOR, com júbilo, som de cornetas e trombetas, e címbalos, e ao som de saltérios e harpas. 29E foi que, quando a arca do pacto do SENHOR chegou à cidade de Davi, Mical, filha de Saul, olhou por uma janela, e viu o rei Davi dançando e saltando; e ela o desprezou em seu coração.

1David made him houses in the city of David; and he prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent. 2Then David said, “No one ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites. For Yahweh has chosen them to carry the ark of God, and to minister to him forever.” 3David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up Yahweh’s ark to its place, which he had prepared for it. 4David gathered together the sons of Aaron, and the Levites: 5of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the chief, and his brothers one hundred twenty; 6of the sons of Merari, Asaiah the chief, and his brothers two hundred twenty; 7of the sons of Gershom, Joel the chief, and his brothers one hundred thirty; 8of the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chief, and his brothers two hundred; 9of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief, and his brothers eighty; 10of the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab the chief, and his brothers one hundred twelve. 11David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab, 12and 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 up the ark of Yahweh, the God of Israel, to the place that I have prepared for it. 13For because you didn’t carry it at first, Yahweh our God broke out in anger against us, because we didn’t seek him according to the ordinance.” 14So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of Yahweh, the God of Israel. 15The children of the Levites bore the ark of God on their shoulders with the its poles, as Moses commanded according to Yahweh’s word. 16David spoke to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brothers the singers, with instruments of music, stringed instruments and harps and cymbals, sounding aloud and lifting up the voice with joy. 17So 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; 18and with them their brothers of the second degree, Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, the doorkeepers. 19So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were given cymbals of brass to sound aloud; 20and Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with stringed instruments set to Alamoth; 21and Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps tuned to the eight-stringed lyre, to lead. 22Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was over the song: he instructed about the song, because he was skillful. 23Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark. 24Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethanel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, blew the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obed-Edom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark. 25So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh out of the house of Obed-Edom with joy. 26When God helped the Levites who bore the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams. 27David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites who bore the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: and David had on him an ephod of linen. 28Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, sounding aloud with stringed instruments and harps. 29As the ark of the covenant of Yahweh came to the city of David, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David dancing and playing; and she despised him in her heart.

1En David maakte zich huizen in zijn stad; en hij bereidde der ark Gods een plaats, en spande een tent voor haar. 2Toen zeide David: Niemand mag de ark Gods dragen, dan de Levieten; want die heeft de HEERE verkoren, om de ark Gods te dragen, en om Hem te dienen tot in der eeuwigheid. 3Ook vergaderde David gans Israel te Jeruzalem, om de ark des HEEREN op te halen aan haar plaats, die hij haar bereid had. 4En David verzamelde de kinderen van Aaron en de Levieten. 5Van de kinderen van Kehath was Uriel overste, en van zijn broederen waren honderd en twintig. 6Van de kinderen van Merari was Asaja overste, en van zijn broederen waren tweehonderd en twintig. 7Van de kinderen van Gersom was Joel overste, en van zijn broederen waren honderd en dertig. 8Uit de kinderen van Elizafan was overste Semaja, en van zijn broederen waren tweehonderd. 9Uit de kinderen van Hebron was Eliel overste, en zijn broederen waren tachtig. 10Uit de kinderen van Uzziel was Amminadab overste, en zijn broederen waren honderd en twaalf. 11En David riep de priesters Zadok en Abjathar, en de Levieten Uriel, Asaja en Joel, Semaja, en Eliel, en Amminadab. 12En hij zeide tot hen: Gijlieden zijt hoofden der vaderen onder de Levieten; heiligt u, gij en uw broeders, dat gij de ark des HEEREN, des Gods van Israel, opbrengt, ter plaatse, die ik voor haar bereid heb. 13Want omdat gijlieden ten eerste dit niet deedt, heeft de HEERE, onze God, onder ons een scheur gedaan, omdat wij Hem niet gezocht hebben naar het recht. 14Zo heiligden zich dan de priesters en Levieten, om de ark des HEEREN, des Gods van Israel, op te brengen. 15En de kinderen der Levieten droegen de ark Gods op hun schouderen, met de draagbomen, die op hen waren, gelijk als Mozes geboden had naar het woord des HEEREN. 16En David zeide tot de oversten der Levieten, dat zij hun broeders, de zangers, stellen zouden met muziekinstrumenten, met luiten, en harpen, en cimbalen, dat zij zich zouden doen horen, verheffende de stem met blijdschap. 17Zo stelden dan de Levieten Heman, den zoon van Joel, en uit zijn broederen Asaf, den zoon van Berechja; en uit de zonen van Merari, hun broederen, Ethan, den zoon van Kusaja; 18En met hen hun broeders van de tweede orde: Zecharja, Ben en Jaaziel, en Semiramoth, en Jehiel, en Unni, Eliab, en Benaja, en Maaseja, en Mattithja, en Elifele, en Mikneja, en Obed-Edom, en Jeiel, de poortiers. 19De zangers nu, Heman, Asaf en Ethan, lieten zich horen met koperen cimbalen; 20En Zecharja, en Aziel, en Semiramoth, en Jehiel, en Unni, en Eliab, en Maaseja, en Benaja, met luiten op Alamoth. 21En Mattithja, en Elifele, en Mikneja, en Obed-Edom, en Jeiel, en Azazja, met harpen op de Scheminith, om den toon te versterken. 22En Chenanja, de overste der Levieten, was over het opheffen; hij onderwees hen in het opheffen; want hij was verstandig. 23En Berechja en Elkana waren poortiers der ark. 24En Sebanja, en Josafat, en Nethaneel, en Amasai, en Zecharja, en Benaja, en Eliezer, de priesters, trompetten met trompetten voor de ark Gods; en Obed-Edom en Jehia waren poortiers der ark. 25Het geschiedde nu, dat David en de oudsten van Israel, en de oversten der duizenden, henengingen, om de ark des verbonds des HEEREN op te halen, uit het huis van Obed-Edom, met vreugde; 26Zo geschiedde het, doordien dat God de Levieten hielp, die de ark des verbonds des HEEREN droegen, dat zij zeven varren en zeven rammen offerden. 27David nu was gekleed met een mantel van fijn linnen; ook al de Levieten, die de ark droegen, en de zangers, en Chenanja, de overste van het opheffen der zangers; ook had David een lijfrok aan van linnen. 28Alzo bracht gans Israel de ark des verbonds des HEEREN op, met gejuich, en met geluid der bazuin, en met trompetten, en met cimbalen, makende geluid met luiten en met harpen. 29Het geschiedde nu, toen de ark des verbonds des HEEREN tot aan de stad Davids gekomen was, dat Michal, de dochter van Saul, door een venster keek, en den koning David zag, springende en spelende; zo verachtte zij hem in haar hart.
