1 Ljetopisa 15
1 Onda je David sazidao dvore u Davidovu gradu, pripravio mjesto za Kovčeg Božji i razapeo mu Šator.
Also, he made houses for himself in the City of David. And built a place for the ark of God, and he set up a tent for it.
2 Potom je rekao David: “Ne smije nositi Kovčeg Božji nitko osim levita, jer je njih izabrao Jahve da nose Kovčeg Jahvin i da mu služe dovijeka.”
Then David said: “It is illicit for anyone to carry the ark of God except the Levites, whom the Lord chose to carry it and to minister to himself, even unto eternity.”
3 David je sakupio sav Izrael u Jeruzalem da prenesu Kovčeg Jahvin gore na njegovo mjesto koje mu bijaše pripravio.
And he gathered all of Israel in Jerusalem, so that the ark of God might be brought into its place, which he had prepared for it.
4 Skupio je David i Aronove sinove i levite.
Certainly, there were both the sons of Aaron and the Levites:
5 Od Kehatovih sinova: kneza Uriela i sto dvadeset njegove braće;
From the sons of Kohath, Uriel was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred twenty.
6 od Merarijevih sinova: kneza Asaju i dvjesta dvadeset njegove braće;
From the sons of Merari: Asaiah was the leader, and his brothers were two hundred twenty.
7 od Geršomovih sinova: kneza Joela i sto trideset njegove braće.
From the sons of Gershom: Joel was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred thirty.
8 Od Elisafanovih sinova: kneza Šemaju i dvjesta njegove braće.
From the sons of Elizaphan: Shemaiah was the leader, and his brothers were two hundred.
9 Od Hebronovih sinova: kneza Eliela i osamdeset njegove braće;
From the sons of Hebron: Eliel was the leader, and his brothers were eighty.
10 od Uzielovih sinova: kneza Aminadaba i sto dvanaest njegove braće.
From the sons of Uzziel: Amminadab was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred twelve.
11 Tada David pozva svećenike Sadoka i Ebjatara i levite Uriela, Asaju, Joela, Šemaju, Eliela i Aminadaba,
And David summoned the priests, Zadok and Abiathar, and the Levites: Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.
12 pa im reče: “Vi ste glavari levitskih porodica; posvetite sebe i svoju braću da prenesete gore Kovčeg Jahve, Izraelova Boga, na mjesto koje sam mu pripravio.
And he said to them: “You who are the leaders of the Levitical families, be sanctified with your brothers, and bring the ark of the Lord God of Israel to the place that has been prepared for it.
13 Jer nas je pobio Jahve, Bog naš, zato što prvi put vi niste bili nazočni i što ga nismo tražili onako kako je trebalo.”
Otherwise, as it was before, when the Lord struck us because you were not present, so also it might be now, if we do what is illicit.”
14 Posvetiše se tada svećenici i leviti da prenesu gore Kovčeg Jahve, Izraelova Boga.
Therefore, the priests and the Levites were sanctified, so that they might carry the ark of the Lord God of Israel.
15 Levitski su sinovi ponijeli Božji Kovčeg, na svojim ramenima, o motkama, kako je zapovjedio Mojsije po Jahvinoj riječi.
And the sons of Levi took the ark of God, just as Moses had instructed, in accord with the word of the Lord, upon their shoulders by the bars.
16 Tada David reče levitskim knezovima da između svoje braće postave pjevače s glazbalima, s harfama, citrama i cimbalima da se čuje i da gromko odjekuje radosno pjevanje.
And David spoke to the leaders of the Levites, so that they might appoint, from their brothers, singers with musical instruments, specifically, psalteries, and harps, and cymbals, so that a joyful noise might resound on high.
17 Leviti su postavili Joelova sina Hemana, a od njegove braće Berekjina sina Asafa, i od njihove braće, Merarijevih sinova, Kušajina sina Etana.
And they appointed from the Levites: Heman, the son of Joel; and from his brothers, Asaph, the son of Berechiah; and truly, from their brothers, the sons of Merari: Ethan, the son of Kushaiah.
18 S njima njihovu braću drugoga reda: Zahariju, sina Jaazielova, Šemiramota, Jehiela, Unija, Eliaba, Benaju, Maaseju, Matitju, Eliflehua, Mikneju, Obed Edoma i Jeiela, vratare.
And with them were their brothers in the second rank: Zechariah, and Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jahiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, who were gatekeepers.
19 A pjevači, Heman, Asaf i Etan gromko su udarali u mjedene cimbale.
Now the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were sounding out with cymbals of brass.
20 A Zaharija, Uziel, Šemiramot, Jehiel, Uni, Eliab, Maaseja i Benaja u harfe s visokim zvucima;
And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah were singing mysteries with the psalteries.
21 a Matitja, Eliflehu, Mikneja, Obed Edom, Jeiel i Azazja u citre, u osminskoj pratnji.
Then Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah and Obededom, and Jeiel and Azaziah were singing a song of victory with the harps, for the octave.
22 Kenanja, knez onih levita koji su nosili Kovčeg, upravljao je prenošenjem jer je bio vješt u tome.
Now Chenaniah, the leader of the Levites, was foremost over the prophecies, in order to mark out in advance the melodies. For indeed, he was very skillful.
23 Berekja i Elkana bili su vratari kod Kovčega.
And Berechiah and Elkanah were porters of the ark.
24 Šebanija, Jošafat, Netanel, Amasaj, Zaharija, Benaja i Eliezer, svećenici, trubili su u trube pred Božjim Kovčegom; Obed Edom i Jehija bili su vratari kod Kovčega.
And the priests, Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethanel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, were sounding the trumpets before the ark of God. And Obededom and Jehiah were porters of the ark.
25 Tako je David s izraelskim starješinama i tisućnicima radosno išao prenoseći gore Kovčeg saveza Jahvina iz Obed-Edomove kuće.
Therefore, David, and all those greater by birth of Israel, and the tribunes, went to carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord from the house of Obededom with rejoicing.
26 Kad je Bog pomogao levitima koji su nosili Kovčeg saveza Jahvina, žrtvovali su sedam junaca i sedam ovnova.
And when God had assisted the Levites, who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord, they immolated seven bulls and seven rams.
27 David bijaše ogrnut plaštem od tanka platna, a tako i svi leviti što su nosili Kovčeg, kao i pjevači i Kenanija koji je upravljao pjevačima. David je imao na sebi lanen oplećak.
Now David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, as were all the Levites who were carrying the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah, the leader of the prophecy among the singers. But David was also clothed with a linen ephod.
28 Tako je sav Izrael prenosio gore Kovčeg saveza Jahvina, radosno kličući uz jeku rogova, truba i cimbala, igrajući uza zvuke harfe i citre.
And all of Israel were leading back the ark of the covenant of the Lord with jubilation, sounding out with the noise of horns, and trumpets, and cymbals, and psalteries, and harps.
29 Kad je Kovčeg saveza Jahvina ulazio u Davidov grad, Šaulova kći Mikala, gledajući s prozora, vidje kralja Davida kako skače i igra i prezre ga ona u svom srcu.
And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord had arrived in the City of David, Michal, the daughter of Saul, gazing through a window, saw king David dancing and playing, and she despised him in her heart.
