1 Chronicles 15
1 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.
Hizo también casas para sí en la ciudad de David, y labró un lugar para el arca de Dios, y tendióle una tienda.
2 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.”
Entonces dijo David: El arca de Dios no debe ser traída sino por los Levitas, porque a ellos ha elegido Jehová para que lleven el arca de Jehová y le sirvan perpetuamente.
3 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.
Y juntó David a todo Israel en Jerusalem, para que pasasen el arca de Jehová a su lugar, que él le había aparejado.
4 Certainly, there were both the sons of Aaron and the Levites:
Juntó también David a los hijos de Aarón, y a los Levitas:
5 From the sons of Kohath, Uriel was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred twenty.
De los hijos de Caat; Uriel el principal, y sus hermanos, ciento y veinte:
6 From the sons of Merari: Asaiah was the leader, and his brothers were two hundred twenty.
De los hijos de Merari; Asaías el principal, y sus hermanos, doscientos y veinte:
7 From the sons of Gershom: Joel was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred thirty.
De los hijos de Gersón; Joel el principal, y sus hermanos, ciento y treinta:
8 From the sons of Elizaphan: Shemaiah was the leader, and his brothers were two hundred.
De los hijos de Elisafán; Semeías el principal, y sus hermanos, doscientos:
9 From the sons of Hebron: Eliel was the leader, and his brothers were eighty.
De los hijos de Hebrón; Eliel el principal, y sus hermanos, ochenta:
10 From the sons of Uzziel: Amminadab was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred twelve.
De los hijos de Oziel; Aminadab el principal, y sus hermanos, ciento y doce.
11 And David summoned the priests, Zadok and Abiathar, and the Levites: Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.
Y llamó también David a Sadoc, y a Abiatar sacerdotes, y a los Levitas, Uriel, Asaías, Joel, Semeías, Eliel, y Aminadab,
12 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.
Y díjoles: Vosotros que sois los príncipes de padres entre los Levitas, santificáos a vosotros, y a vuestros hermanos, y pasád el arca de Jehová Dios de Israel al lugar que le he aparejado.
13 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.”
Porque por no haberlo hecho así vosotros la primera vez, Jehová nuestro Dios hizo en nosotros rotura; por cuanto no le buscamos según la ordenanza.
14 Therefore, the priests and the Levites were sanctified, so that they might carry the ark of the Lord God of Israel.
Así los sacerdotes y los Levitas se santificaron para traer el arca de Jehová Dios de Israel.
15 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.
Y los hijos de los Levitas trajeron el arca de Dios, como lo había mandado Moisés, conforme a la palabra de Jehová, puesta sobre sus hombros las barras.
16 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.
Asimismo dijo David a los principales de los Levitas, que constituyesen de sus hermanos cantores, con instrumentos de música, con salterios, y arpas, y címbalos, que resonasen, y alzasen la voz en alegría.
17 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.
Y los Levitas constituyeron a Hemán, hijo de Joel; y de sus hermanos, a Asaf, hijo de Baraquías; y de los hijos de Merari, y de sus hermanos, a Etán, hijo de Casaias:
18 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.
Y con ellos a sus hermanos de la segunda orden, a Zacarías, Ben, y Jaziel: Semiramot, Jahiel, Ani, Eliab, Banaías, Maasias, y Matatías, Elifalu, Macenías, Obed-edom y Jehiel, los porteros.
19 Now the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were sounding out with cymbals of brass.
Ítem, Emán, Asaf, y Etán eran cantores, los cuales alzaban su voz con címbalos de metal.
20 And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah were singing mysteries with the psalteries.
Y Zacarías, Oziel, Semiramot, Jahiel, Ani, Eliab, Maasias, y Banaías, con salterios sobre Alamot.
21 Then Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah and Obededom, and Jeiel and Azaziah were singing a song of victory with the harps, for the octave.
Ítem, Matatías, Elifalu, Macenías, Obed-edom, Jehiel, y Ozazías cantaban con arpas en la octava sobrepujando.
22 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.
Y Conenías, príncipe de los Levitas, en la profecía, porque él presidía en la profecía, por cuanto era entendido.
23 And Berechiah and Elkanah were porters of the ark.
Y Baraquías y Elcana eran los porteros del arca.
24 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.
Ítem, Sebenías, Josafat, Natanael, Amasai, Zacarías, Banaías, y Eliezer, sacerdotes, tocaban las trompetas delante del arca de Dios: y Obed-edom, y Jahias eran porteros del arca.
25 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.
Y David, y los ancianos de Israel, y los capitanes de los millares fueron a traer el arca del concierto de Jehová de casa de Obed-edom con alegrías.
26 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.
Y ayudando Dios a los Levitas que llevaban el arca del concierto de Jehová, sacrificaban siete novillos y siete carneros.
27 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.
Y David iba vestido de lino fino, y también todos los Levitas que llevaban el arca, y asimismo los cantores: y Conenías era príncipe de la profecía de los cantores. Y David llevaba sobre sí un efod de lino.
28 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.
De esta manera todo Israel llevaban el arca del concierto de Jehová con júbilo, y sonido de bocinas, y de trompetas, y de címbalos, y salterios, y arpas, haciendo sonido.
29 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.
Y como el arca del concierto de Jehová llegó a la ciudad de David, Micol, hija de Saul, mirando por una ventana vio al rey David que saltaba y bailaba, y menosprecióle en su corazón.
