1 Chronicles 15
1 David made himself houses in David’s city; and he prepared a place for God’s ark, and pitched a tent for it.
Tango Davidi asilisaki kotonga bandako mpo na ye moko kati na engumba ya Davidi, abongisaki esika mpo na Sanduku ya Nzambe mpe atelemisaki ndako ya kapo mpo na yango.
2 Then David said, “No one ought to carry God’s ark but the Levites. For Yahweh has chosen them to carry God’s ark, and to minister to him forever.”
Davidi alobaki: « Moto moko te, longola kaka Balevi, akoki komema Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Nzambe, pamba te Yawe aponaki bango mpo na komema Sanduku na Ye mpe kosala mosala na Ye mpo na libela. »
3 David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up Yahweh’s ark to its place, which he had prepared for it.
Davidi asangisaki kati na Yelusalemi bana nyonso ya Isalaele mpo na komema Sanduku ya Yawe na esika oyo abongisaki mpo na yango.
4 David gathered together the sons of Aaron and the Levites:
Davidi asangisaki lisusu bakitani ya Aron mpe Balevi:
5 of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the chief, and his brothers one hundred twenty;
Mpo na bakitani ya Keati: mokambi Urieli elongo na bandeko na ye ya libota nkama moko na tuku mibale;
6 of the sons of Merari, Asaiah the chief, and his brothers two hundred twenty;
mpo na bakitani ya Merari: mokambi Asaya elongo na bandeko na ye ya libota nkama mibale na tuku mibale;
7 of the sons of Gershom, Joel the chief, and his brothers one hundred thirty;
mpo na bakitani ya Gerishoni: mokambi Joeli elongo na bandeko na ye ya libota, nkama moko na tuku misato;
8 of the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chief, and his brothers two hundred;
mpo na bakitani ya Elitsafani: mokambi Shemaya elongo na bandeko na ye ya libota, nkama mibale;
9 of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief, and his brothers eighty;
mpo na bakitani ya Ebron: mokambi Elieli elongo na bandeko na ye ya libota, tuku mwambe;
10 of the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab the chief, and his brothers one hundred twelve.
mpo na bakitani ya Uzieli: mokambi Aminadabi elongo na bandeko na ye ya libota, nkama moko na zomi na mibale.
11 David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites: for Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab,
Davidi abengaki Banganga-Nzambe Tsadoki mpe Abiatari elongo na Balevi oyo: Urieli, Asaya, Joeli, Shemaya, Elieli mpe Aminadabi.
12 and 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 the ark of Yahweh, the God of Israel, up to the place that I have prepared for it.
Alobaki na bango: « Bozali bakambi ya mabota ya Balevi, bino elongo na bandeko ya mabota na bino; bomipetola mpo na komema Sanduku ya Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, na esika oyo nabongisi mpo na yango.
13 For 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.”
Pamba te lokola bino Balevi bozalaki te na mbala ya liboso, yango wana Yawe, Nzambe na biso, asilikelaki biso makasi; pamba te totunaki Ye te ndenge nini tokokaki komema yango kolanda mibeko. »
14 So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
Boye, Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi bamipetolaki mpo na komema Sanduku ya Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele.
15 The children of the Levites bore God’s ark on their shoulders with its poles, as Moses commanded according to Yahweh’s word.
Bongo Balevi bamemaki na banzete Sanduku ya Nzambe na mapeka na bango ndenge kaka Moyize atindaki, kolanda Liloba na Yawe.
16 David spoke to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brothers as singers with instruments of music, stringed instruments, harps, and cymbals, sounding aloud and lifting up their voices with joy.
Davidi alobaki na bakambi ya Balevi ete bapona, kati na bandeko na bango, bayembi mpo na koyemba banzembo ya esengo, na bibetelo mindule: nzenze, lindanda mpe manzanza.
17 So 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;
Balevi baponaki Emani, mwana mobali ya Joeli; Azafi, mwana mobali ya Berekia, kati na bandeko na ye ya mibali; Etani, mwana mobali ya Kushaya, kati na bana ya Merari, na bandeko na ye ya mibali.
18 and with them their brothers of the second rank: Zechariah, Ben, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, the doorkeepers.
Mpe mpo na kosunga bango, baponaki Balevi mosusu: Zakari, Beni, Yazieli, Shemiramoti, Yeyeli, Uni, Eliabi, Benaya, Maaseya, Matitia, Elifele, Mikineya, Obedi-Edomi mpe Yeyeli. Bango nyonso bazalaki bakengeli bikuke.
19 So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were given cymbals of bronze to sound aloud;
Babeti miziki: Emani, Azafi mpe Etani; bango bazalaki kobeta manzanza oyo basala na bronze.
20 and Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with stringed instruments set to Alamoth;
Zakari, Azieli, Shemiramoti, Yeyeli, Uni, Eliabi, Maaseya mpe Benaya; bango bazalaki kobeta nzenze na mongongo ya soprano.
21 and Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps tuned to the eight-stringed lyre, to lead.
Matitia, Elifele, Mikineya, Obedi-Edomi, Yeyeli mpe Azazia; bango bazalaki kobeta mandanda ya basinga mwambe mpo na kotambolisa banzembo.
22 Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was over the singing. He taught the singers, because he was skillful.
Kenania, mokambi ya Balevi, aponamaki mpo na kotambolisa banzembo; pamba te ayebaki mosala yango malamu.
23 Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.
Berekia mpe Elikana, bazalaki bakengeli ya Sanduku ya Boyokani.
24 Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, blew the trumpets before God’s ark; and Obed-Edom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark.
Banganga-Nzambe Shebania, Jozafati, Netaneeli, Amasayi, Zakari, Benaya mpe Eliezeri; bazalaki kobeta kelelo liboso ya Sanduku ya Nzambe. Obedi-Edomi mpe Yeyiya bazalaki mpe bakengeli Sanduku ya Boyokani.
25 So David, the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands went to bring the ark of Yahweh’s covenant up out of the house of Obed-Edom with joy.
Davidi, bakambi ya Isalaele mpe bakonzi ya basoda nkoto moko bakendeki kozwa na esengo Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe wuta na ndako ya Obedi-Edomi.
26 When God helped the Levites who bore the ark of Yahweh’s covenant, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.
Mpe mpo ete Yawe asunga Balevi oyo bazalaki komema Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe, babonzaki lokola mbeka bangombe sambo ya mibali mpe bameme sambo ya mibali.
27 David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, as were all the Levites who bore the ark, the singers, and Chenaniah the choir master with the singers; and David had an ephod of linen on him.
Davidi elongo na Balevi nyonso oyo bazalaki komema Sanduku ya Boyokani, bayembi mpe Kenania, mokambi ya bayembi: bango nyonso balataki banzambala ya lino ya talo. Kasi Davidi abakisaki lisusu efode ya lino na likolo.
28 Thus all Israel brought the ark of Yahweh’s covenant up with shouting, with sound of the cornet, with trumpets, and with cymbals, sounding aloud with stringed instruments and harps.
Bato nyonso ya Isalaele bamemaki Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe na kobeta milolo ya esengo, na kobeta maseke, bakelelo, manzanza, banzenze mpe mandanda.
29 As the ark of Yahweh’s covenant came to David’s city, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David dancing and playing; and she despised him in her heart.
Tango Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe ekotaki na engumba ya Davidi, Mikali, mwana mwasi ya Saulo, azalaki kotala wuta na lininisa; mpe tango amonaki mokonzi Davidi kopumbwa mpe kobina na esengo, ayinaki ye kati na motema na ye.
