1 David el musaela kutu lohm in Siti sel David tuh in lohm sel sifacna. El oayapa akoo sie acn nu ke Tuptup in Wuleang lun God, ac el tulokunak sie lohm nuknuk nu kac.

David made himself houses in David’s city; and he prepared a place for God’s ark, and pitched a tent for it.

2 Na David el fahk, “Mwet Levi mukena pa fal in us Tuptup in Wuleang, mweyen elos pa sulosolla sin LEUM GOD tuh elos in us, ac in kulansap nu sel nwe tok.”

Then David said, “No one ought to carry God’s ark but the Levites. For the LORD has chosen them to carry God’s ark, and to minister to him forever.”

3 Ouinge David el pangoneni mwet Israel nukewa nu Jerusalem, tuh elos in use Tuptup in Wuleang nu ke acn se el akoela nu kac.

David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the LORD’s ark to its place, which he had prepared for it.

4 Tukun ma inge David el sapla nu sin mwet in fwil natul Aaron ac mwet Levi.

David gathered together the sons of Aaron and the Levites:

5 Ke sou lulap lal Kohath in sruf lun mwet Levi, Uriel el mwet kol, ac mwet siofok longoul in sou lal welul.

David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites: for Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab,

12 El fahk nu sin mwet Levi, “Kowos pa mwet kol lun sou lulap lun mwet Levi. Kowos in aknasnasye kowos oayapa mwet Levi wiowos, tuh kowos in ku in use Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD lun Israel nu in acn se nga akoela nu kac.

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 the LORD, the God of Israel, up to the place that I have prepared for it.

13 Ke sripen kowos wangin ke pacl se meet ma kut tuh srike in use, na pa LEUM GOD lasr El tuh kai kut mweyen kut tuh tia oru akfulat su fal in orek nu sel.”

For because you didn’t carry it at first, the LORD our God broke out in anger against us, because we didn’t seek him according to the ordinance.”

14 Na mwet tol ac mwet Levi elos aknasnasyalos tuh elos in mau ku in moklema Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD lun Israel.

So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel.

15 Mwet Levi elos us Tuptup uh finpisalos ke srenenu, in oana ke LEUM GOD El tuh sapkin nu sel Moses.

The children of the Levites bore God’s ark on their shoulders with its poles, as Moses commanded according to the LORD’s word.

16 David el sap mwet kol lun mwet Levi in sulela kutu mwet lalos in on, ac kutu in srital ke harp ac cymbal, in fahkak pusren engan lulap.

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.

17 Ouinge mwet Levi elos sulela mwet inge liki sou lun mwet on: Heman wen natul Joel, oayapa sie mukul in sou lal, su Asaph wen natul Berechiah; ac Ethan wen natul Kushaiah, su ma wialos ke sou lal Merari;

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;

18 na mukul wialtal in fwil se akluo: Zechariah, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, ac mwet luo su liyaung mutunpot: Obed Edom ac Jeiel.

19 Mwet in srital ke cymbal orek ke bronze pa Heman, Asaph, ac Ethan.

So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were given cymbals of bronze to sound aloud;

20 Mwet in srital ke harp ma fulat pusra uh pa Zechariah, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah ac Benaiah.

and Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with stringed instruments set to Alamoth;

and Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps tuned to the eight-stringed lyre, to lead.

22 Elos sulella Chenaniah in kol mwet on inge nukewa lun mwet Levi, mweyen yohk etu lal ke on.

Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was over the singing. He taught the singers, because he was skilful.

23 Mwet in taran Tuptup in Wuleang pa Berechiah, Elkanah,

Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.

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.

25 Tokosra David, ac mwet kol lun mwet Israel, ac captain lun un mwet mweun, elos tukeni som in use Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD liki lohm sel Obed Edom, ac elos engan ma lulap.

So David, the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands went to bring the ark of the LORD’s covenant up out of the house of Obed-Edom with joy.

26 Elos kisakin cow mukul itkosr ac sheep mukul itkosr mwe akpwayeye lah God El ac fah kasru mwet Levi su us Tuptup in Wuleang.

When God helped the Levites who bore the ark of the LORD’s covenant, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.

27 David el nukum sie nuknuk loeloes orek ke linen wowo. Mwet on nukewa, ac Chenaniah su mwet kol lalos, oayapa mwet Levi su us Tuptup uh, elos nukewa nukum nuknuk linen oana David. David el oayapa nukum sie ephod lun mwet tol orekla ke linen.

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.

28 Na mwet Israel nukewa elos welulos fahsr ac usak Tuptup in Wuleang nu Jerusalem ke pusren engan ac sasa, oayapa pusren mwe ukuk, trumpet, cymbal, ac harp.

Thus all Israel brought the ark of the LORD’s covenant up with shouting, with sound of the cornet, with trumpets, and with cymbals, sounding aloud with stringed instruments and harps.

29 Ke Tuptup sac utyak nu in siti uh, na Michal, acn natul Saul, el ngetla liki winto uh ac liyal Tokosra David ke el tacn ac onsrosro ke engan lulap, na Michal el arulana toasr sel kac.

As the ark of the LORD’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.
