1 Chronicles 15
1 He made also houses for himself in the city of David: and built a place for the ark of God, and pitched a tabernacle for it.
Dawudi bwe yamala okwezimbira embiri ze mu kibuga kya Dawudi, n’ategekera essanduuko ya Katonda ekifo, n’agikubira eweema.
2 Then David said: No one ought to carry the ark of God, but the Levites, whom the Lord hath chosen to carry it, and to minister unto himself for ever.
Awo Dawudi n’ayogera nti, “Tewali muntu yenna akkirizibwa kusitula essanduuko ya Katonda wabula Abaleevi, kubanga Mukama be yalonda okugisitula, era n’okumuweerezanga ennaku zonna.”
3 And he gathered all Israel together into Jerusalem, that the ark of God might be brought into its place, which he had prepared for it.
Dawudi n’akuŋŋaanya Abayisirayiri bonna mu Yerusaalemi, okulinnyisa essanduuko ya Mukama mu kifo kyayo kye yali agitegekedde.
4 And the sons of Aaron also, and the Levites.
N’ayita abazzukulu ba Alooni n’Abaleevi:
5 Of the children of Caath, Uriel was the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twenty.
ku bazzukulu ba Kokasi, Uliyeri omukulembeze ne baganda be kikumi mu abiri;
6 Of the sons of Merari, Asaia the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty.
ku bazzukulu ba Merali, Asaya omukulembeze ne baganda be bibiri mu abiri;
7 Of the sons of Gersom, Joel the chief, and his brethren a hundred and thirty.
ku bazzukulu ba Gerusomu, Yoweeri omukulembeze ne baganda be kikumi mu asatu;
8 Of the sons of Elisaphan, Semeias the chief: and his brethren two hundred.
ku bazzukulu ba Erizafani, Semaaya omukulembeze ne baganda be ebikumi bibiri,
9 Of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief: and his brethren eighty.
ku bazzukulu ba Kebbulooni, Eryeri omukulembeze ne baganda be kinaana;
10 Of the sons of Oziel, Aminadab the chief: and his brethren a hundred and twelve.
ku bazzukulu ba Wuziyeeri, Amminadaabu omukulembeze ne baganda be kikumi mu kkumi na babiri.
11 And David called Sadoc, and Abiathar the priests, and the Levites, Uriel, Asaia, Joel, Semeia, Eliel, and Aminadab:
Awo Dawudi n’atumya Zadooki ne Abiyasaali bakabona, ne Uliyeri, ne Asaya, ne Yoweeri, ne Semaaya, ne Eryeri ne Amminadaabu Abaleevi,
12 And he said to them: You that are the heads of the Levitical families, be sanctified with your brethren, and brine the ark of the Lord the God of Israel to the place, which is prepared for it:
n’abagamba nti, “Mmwe bakulembeze mu nnyumba z’Abaleevi, era mmwe ne baganda bammwe mujja kwetukuza, mulyoke mwambuse essanduuko ya Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, okugiteeka mu kifo kye ngitegekedde.
13 Lest as the Lord at first struck us, because you were not present, the same should now also come to pass, by our doing some thing against the law.
Kubanga mmwe temwagisitula omulundi ogwasooka Mukama Katonda waffe kyeyava atusunguwalira, olw’obutamwebuuzaako okutegeera nga bwe kyalagibwa.”
14 So the priests and the Levites were sanctified, to carry the ark of the Lord the God of Israel.
Awo bakabona n’Abaleevi ne beetukuza okulinnyisa essanduuko ya Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri.
15 And the sons of Levi took the ark of God as Moses had commanded, according to the word of the Lord, upon their shoulders, with the staves.
Abaleevi ne basitulira essanduuko ya Mukama ku bibegabega byabwe n’emisituliro gyako, nga Musa bwe yalagira, ng’ekigambo kya Mukama bwe kyali.
16 And David spoke to the chiefs of the Levites, to appoint some of their brethren to be singers with musical instruments, to wit, on psalteries, and harps, and cymbals, that the joyful noise might resound on high.
Awo Dawudi n’alagira abakulembeze b’Abaleevi okulonda baganda baabwe okuba abayimbi, nga bayimba ennyimba ez’essanyu, nga bakuba ebivuga: entongooli, n’ennanga, n’ebitaasa.
17 And they appointed Levites, Hemam the son of Joel, and of his brethren Asaph the son of Barachias: and of the sons of Merari, their brethren: Ethan the son of Casaia.
Abaleevi ne balonda Kemani mutabani wa Yoweeri, ku baganda be ne balonda Asafu mutabani wa Berekiya, ne ku batabani ba Merali, baganda baabwe, ne balonda Esani mutabani wa Kusaya;
18 And with them their brethren: in the second rank, Zacharias, and Ben, and Jaziel, and Semiramoth, and Jahiel, and Ani, and Eliab, and Banaias, and Maasias, and Mathathias, and Eliphalu, and Macenias, and Obededom, and Jehiel, the porters.
ne baganda baabwe abaabaddiriranga nga be ba Zekkaliya, ne Yaaziyeri, ne Semiramosi, ne Yeyeri, ne Unni, ne Eriyaabu, ne Benaaya, ne Maaseya, ne Mattisiya, ne Erifereku, ne Mikuneya, n’abaggazi Obededomu ne Yeyeeri,
19 Now the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, sounded with cymbals of brass.
ne Kemani, ne Asafu, ne Esani abayimbi abaalina okukuba ebitaasa eby’ebikomo;
20 And Zacharias, and Oziel, and Semiramoth, and Jehiel, and Ani, and Eliab, and Maasias, and Banaias, sung mysteries upon psalteries.
ne Zekkaliya, ne Aziyeri, ne Semiramosi, ne Yekyeri, ne Unni, ne Eriyaabu, ne Maaseya ne Benaya baali baakukuba entongooli ez’ekyalamosi;
21 And Mathathias, and Eliphalu, and Macenias and Obededom, and Jehiel and Ozaziu, sung a song of victory for the octave upon harps.
naye Mattisiya, ne Erifereku, ne Mikuneya, ne Obededomu, ne Yeyeri, ne Azaziya baali baakukulemberamu nga bakuba ennanga ez’ekiseminisi.
22 And Chonenias chief of the Levites, presided over the prophecy, to give out the tunes: for he was very skillful.
Kenaniya omukulembeze w’Abaleevi mu by’okuyimba, avunaanyizibwe eby’okuyimba kubanga yali mukugu mu byo.
23 And Barachias, and Elcana, were doorkeepers of the ark.
Berekiya ne Erukaana be baali abaggazi b’omulyango gw’ekifo essanduuko mw’ebeera.
24 And Sebenias, and Josaphat, and Nathanael, and Amasai, and Zacharias, and Banaias, and Eliezer the priests, sounded with trumpets, before the ark of God: and Obededom and Jehias were porters of the ark.
Sebaniya, ne Yosafaati, ne Nesaneri, ne Amasayi, ne Zekkaliya, ne Benaya, ne Eryeza be bakabona abaafuuwanga amakondeere mu maaso g’essanduuko ya Katonda. Obededomu ne Yekiya n’abo baali baggazi b’omulyango gw’ekifo essanduuko mw’ebeera.
25 So David and all the ancients of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the house of Obededom with joy.
Awo Dawudi n’abakadde aba Isirayiri, n’abaduumizi b’enkumi ne bagenda okwambusa essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama okugiggya mu nnyumba ya Obededomu nga basanyuka.
26 And when God had helped the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, they offered in sacrifice seven oxen, and seven rams.
Olw’okubeera Katonda kwe yabeera Abaleevi abaali basitudde essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama, baawaayo sseddume z’ente musanvu ne z’endiga musanvu nga ssaddaaka.
27 And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that carried the ark, and the singing men, and Chonenias the ruler of the prophecy among the singers: and David also had on him an ephod of linen.
Dawudi yali ayambadde olugoye olwa linena, ng’Abaleevi bonna abaali basitudde essanduuko, era ng’abayimbi ne Kenaniya eyali avunaanyizibwa okuyimba. Dawudi yali ayambadde n’ekkanzu eya linena.
28 And all Israel brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord with joyful shouting, and sounding with the sound of the comet, and with trumpets, and cymbals, and psalteries, and harps.
Awo Isirayiri yenna ne bambusa essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama nga baleekaana n’amaloboozi ag’essanyu, n’eddoboozi ery’eŋŋombe, ery’amakondeere, n’ebitaasa, era nga bakuba nnyo entongooli n’ennanga.
29 And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord was come to the city of David, Michol the daughter of Saul looking out at a window, saw king David dancing and playing, and she despised him in her heart.
Awo essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama bwe yali ng’eyingizibwa mu kibuga kya Dawudi, Makali muwala wa Sawulo n’alingiza mu ddirisa, n’alaba Kabaka Dawudi ng’azina era ng’ajjaguza, n’amunyooma mu mutima gwe.
