1 Chronicles 15
1 David built houses for himself in the city of David. He prepared a place for the ark of God and set up a tent for it.
Siden byggede han sig Huse i Davidsbyen og beredte Guds Ark et Sted, idet han rejste den et Telt
2 Then David said, “Only the Levites may carry the ark of God, for they had been chosen by Yahweh to carry the ark of Yahweh, and to serve him forever.”
Ved den Lejlighed sagde David: "Ingen andre end Leviterne må bære Guds Ark, thi dem har HERREN udvalgt til at bære Guds Ark og til at gøre Tjeneste for ham til evig Tid."
3 Then David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of Yahweh to the place he had prepared for it.
Og David samlede hele Israel i Jerusalem for at føre HERRENs Ark op til det Sted, han havde beredt den.
4 David gathered together Aaron's descendants and the Levites.
Og David samlede Arons Sønner og Leviterne:
5 From the descendants of Kohath, there was Uriel the leader and his relatives, 120 men.
Af Kehatiterne Øversten Uriel og hans Brødre, 120;
6 From the descendants of Merari, there was Asaiah the leader and his relatives, 220 men.
af Merariterne Øversten Asaja og hans Brødre, 220;
7 From the descendants of Gershom, there was Joel the leader and his relatives, 130 men.
af Gersoniterne Øversten Joel og hans Brødre, 130;
8 From the descendants of Elizaphan, there was Shemaiah the leader and his relatives, 200 men.
af Elizafans Sønner Øversten Sjemaja og hans Brødre, 200;
9 From the descendants of Hebron, there was Eliel the leader and his relatives, eighty men.
af Hebrons Sønner Øversten Eliel og hans Brødre, 80;
10 From the descendants of Uzziel, there was Amminadab the leader and his relatives, 112 men.
af Uzziels Sønner Øversten Amminadab og hans Brødre, 112.
11 David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and the Levites Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.
Så lod David Præsterne Zadok og Ebjatar og Leviterne Uriel, Asaja, Joel, Sjemaja, Eliel og Amminadab kalde
12 He said to them, “You are the leaders of the Levite families. Consecrate yourselves, both you and your brothers, so that you may bring up the ark of Yahweh, the God of Israel, to the place that I have prepared for it.
og sagde til dem: "I er Overhoveder for Leviternes Fædrenehuse; helliger eder tillige med eders Brødre og før HERRENs, Israels Guds, Ark op til det Sted, jeg har beredt den;
13 You did not carry it the first time. That is why Yahweh our God broke out against us, for we did not seek him or obey his decree.”
det var jo, fordi I ikke var med første Gang, at HERREN vor Gud tilføjede os et Brud; thi vi søgte ham ikke på rette Måde."
14 So the priests and the Levites consecrated themselves so they could bring up the ark of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
Så helligede Præsferne og Leviterne sig for at føre HERRENs, Israels Guds, Ark op;
15 So the Levites carried the ark of God on their shoulders with the poles, as Moses had commanded—following the rules given by the word of Yahweh.
og Levis Sønner løftede med Bærestængerne Guds Ark op på Skuldrene, som Moses havde påbudt efter HERRENS Ord.
16 David spoke to the leaders of the Levites to assign their brothers to be musicians with musical instruments, stringed instruments, harps and cymbals, playing loudly and joyfully lifting up their voices.
Fremdeles bød David Leviternes Øverster at lade deres Brødre Sangerne stille sig op med Musikinstrumenter, Harper, Citre og Cymbler og lade høje Jubeltoner klinge.
17 So the Levites appointed Heman son of Joel and one of his brothers, Asaph son of Berechiah. They also appointed kinsmen from Merari's descendants and Ethan son of Kushaiah.
Så lod Leviterne Heman, Joels Søn, og af hans Brødre Asaf, Berekjas Søn, og af deres Brødre Merariterne Etan, Husjajas Søn, stille sig op
18 With them were their kinsmen of second rank: Zechariah, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed Edom, and Jeiel, the gatekeepers.
og ved Siden af dem deres Brødre af anden Rang Zekarja, Uzziel, Sjemiramot, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaja, Ma'aseja, Mattitja, Elipelehu og Miknejahu og Dørvogterne Obed-Edom og Je'iel;
19 The musicians Heman, Asaph, and Ethan were appointed to play loud bronze cymbals.
Sangerne Heman, Asaf og Etan skulde spille på Kobbercymbler,
20 Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah played the stringed instruments, set to Alamoth.
Zekarja, Uzziel, Sjemiramot, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Ma'aseja og Benaja på Harper al-alamot;
21 Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed Edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah led the way with harps set to the Sheminith.
Mattitja, Elipelehu, Miknejahu, Obed-Edom og Je'iel skulde lede Sangen med Citre al-hassjeminit;
22 Kenaniah, leader of the Levites, was the director of the singing because he was a teacher of music.
Konanja, Leviternes Øverste over dem, der bar, skulde lede disse, da han forstod sig derpå;
23 Berechiah and Elkanah were guards for the ark.
Berekja og Elkana skulde være Dørvogtere ved Arken;
24 Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, were to blow the trumpets before the ark of God. Obed Edom and Jehiah were guards for the ark.
Præsterne Sjebanja, Josjafat, Netan'el, Amasaj, Zekarja, Benaja og Eliezer skulde blæse i Trompeterne foran Guds Ark; og Obed-Edom og Jehija skulde være Dørvogtere ved Arken.
25 So David, the elders of Israel, and the commanders over thousands went to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh out of Obed Edom's house with rejoicing.
Derpå drog David, Israels Ældste og Tusindførerne hen for under Festglæde at lade HERRENs Pagts Ark bringe op fra Obed-Edoms Hus,
26 While God helped the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.
og da Gud hjalp Leviterne, der har HERRENs Pagts Ark, ofrede man syv Tyre og syv Vædre.
27 David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, as were the Levites who carried the ark, the singers, and Kenaniah, the leader of the song with the singers. David was wearing a linen ephod.
David har en fin linned Kappe, ligeledes alle Leviterne, der har Arken, og Sangerne og Konanja, som ledede dem, der bar. Og David var iført en linned Efod.
28 So all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh with joyful shouting, and with the sound of horns and trumpets, with cymbals, and with stringed instruments and harps.
Og hele Israel bragte HERRENs Pagts Ark op under Festjubel og til Hornets, Trompeternes og Cymblernes Klang, under Harpe- og Citerspil.
29 But as the ark of the covenant of Yahweh came to the city of David, Michal daughter of Saul, looked out the window. She saw King David dancing and celebrating. Then she despised him in her heart.
Men da HERRENs Pagts Ark kom til Davidsbyen, så Sauls Datter Mikal ud af Vinduet, og da hun så Kong David springe og danse, ringeagtede hun ham i sit Hjerte.
