1 Chronicles 15

1 And Dauid made him houses in the citie of Dauid, and prepared a place for the Arke of God, and pitched for it a tent.

Pea naʻe langa ʻe Tevita ʻae ngaahi fale moʻona ʻi hono kolo, pea naʻa ne teuteu ha potu ki he puha ʻoe fuakava ʻae ʻOtua, mo ne fokotuʻu ki ai ha fale fehikitaki.

2 Then Dauid saide, None ought to carie the Arke of God, but the Leuites: for the Lord hath chosen them to beare the Arke of the Lord, and to minister vnto him for euer.

Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe Tevita, “ʻOku ʻikai lelei ke fua ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻae ʻOtua ka ʻe he kau Livai pe: he ko kinautolu ia kuo fili ʻe Sihova ke fua ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻae ʻOtua, pea ke tauhi kiate ia ʻo taʻengata.”

3 And Dauid gathered all Israel together to Ierusalem to bring vp the Arke of the Lord vnto his place, which he had ordeined for it.

Pea naʻe tānaki fakataha ʻe Tevita ʻa ʻIsileli kātoa ki Selūsalema, koeʻuhi ke ʻohake ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova ki hono potu, ʻaia naʻa ne teuteu ki ai.

4 And Dauid assembled the sonnes of Aaron, and the Leuites.

Pea naʻe fakataha ʻe Tevita ʻae fānau ʻa ʻElone, mo e kau Livai:

5 Of the sonnes of Kohath, Vriel the chiefe, and his brethren sixe score.

Mei he ngaahi foha ʻo Kohate; ʻa Ulieli ko honau ʻeiki, pea mo hono kāinga ko e toko teau mo e toko uofulu:

6 Of the sonnes of Merari, Asaiah the chiefe, and his brethren two hundreth and twentie.

Pea ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo Melali: ko ʻAsaia, ko honau ʻeiki, pea mo hono kāinga ko e toko teau mo e toko uofulu:

7 Of the sonnes of Gershom, Ioel the chiefe, and his brethren an hundreth and thirtie.

Pea ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo Kesomi; ko Soeli ko honau ʻeiki, pea mo hono kāinga ko e toko teau mo e toko tolungofulu:

8 Of the sonnes of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chiefe, and his brethren two hundreth.

Pea ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElisafani; ko Simaia ko honau ʻeiki, pea mo hono kāinga ko e toko uangeau:

9 Of the sonnes of Hebron, Eliel the chiefe, and his brethren fourescore.

Pea ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo Hepeloni; ko Ilieli ko honau ʻeiki, pea mo hono kāinga ko e toko valungofulu:

10 Of the sonnes of Vzziel, Amminadab the chiefe, and his brethren an hundreth and twelue.

Pea ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo ʻUsili; ko ʻAminitapi ko honau ʻeiki, pea mo hono kāinga ko e toko teau mo e toko hongofulu ma ua.

11 And Dauid called Zadok and Abiathar the Priestes, and of the Leuites, Vriel, Asaiah and Ioel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab:

Pea naʻe ui mai ʻe Tevita kia Satoki mo ʻApiata ko e ongo taulaʻeiki, pea mo e kau Livai, kia Ulieli, mo ʻAsaia, mo Soeli, mo Simaia, mo Elieli, pea mo ʻAminitapi,

12 And he saide vnto them, Ye are the chiefe fathers of the Leuites: sanctifie your selues, and your brethren, and bring vp the Arke of the Lord God of Israel vnto the place that I haue prepared for it.

‌ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko kimoutolu ko e kau tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he ngaahi tamai ʻae kakai Livai: mou fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻakimoutolu, ʻio, ʻakimoutolu pea mo homou kāinga, koeʻuhi ke mou ʻomi ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ki he potu kuo u teuteu ki ai.

13 For because ye were not there at the first, the Lord our God made a breach among vs: for we sought him not after due order.

He ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai te mou fuofua [ʻomi ]ia, ko ia naʻe teʻia ai ʻakitautolu ʻe Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te tau kumi kiate ia ʻo hangē ko hono anga ʻoku totonu.”

14 So the Priestes and the Leuites sanctified them selues to bring vp the Arke of the Lord God of Israel.

Ko ia naʻe fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai ke nau ʻohake ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.

15 And the sonnes of the Leuites bare the Arke of God vpon their shoulders with the barres, as Moses had commanded, according to the worde of the Lord.

Pea naʻe fua ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻae ʻOtua ʻe he fānau ʻa Livai ʻi honau uma ʻaki ʻa hono ngaahi kau haʻamo, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻe Mōsese ʻo fakatatau mo e folofola ʻa Sihova.

16 And Dauid spake to the chiefe of the Leuites, that they should appoint certaine of their brethren to sing with instruments of musike, with violes and harpes, and cymbales, that they might make a sounde, and lift vp their voyce with ioye.

Pea naʻe lea ʻa Tevita ki he ʻeiki ʻoe kau Livai ke ne vaheʻi honau kāinga niʻihi ke fai ʻae hiva ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa hiva, ko e ngaahi ūtete, mo e ngaahi haʻape, mo e ngaahi ukamea pakihi, naʻe tatangi, ʻi he hiki hake ʻae leʻo ʻi he fiefia.

17 So the Leuites appointed Heman the sonne of Ioel, and of his brethren Asaph the sonne of Berechiah, and of the sonnes of Merari their brethren, Ethan the sonne of Kushaiah,

Ko ia naʻe vaheʻi ʻe he kau Livai ʻa Hemani ko e foha ʻo Soeli; pea ʻi hono kāinga ʻoʻona, ʻa ʻAsafi ko e foha ʻo Pelekia; pea mei he ngaahi foha ʻo Melali ko honau kāinga, ʻa Etani ko e foha ʻo Kusaia;

18 And with them their brethren in the seconde degree, Zechariah, Ben, and Iaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Iehiel, and Vnni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneah, and Obed Edom, and Ieiel the porters.

Pea naʻe fakataha mo kinautolu ʻa honau kāinga ʻo hono ua ʻoe lakanga, ko Sakalia, mo Peni, mo Seseeli, mo Similamoti, mo Sehieli, mo Uni, mo ʻIliapi, mo Penaia, mo Maaseia, mo Matitia, mo Elifili, mo Mikineia, mo ʻOpeti-ʻItomi, mo Sieli, ko e kau leʻo matapā.

19 So Heman, Asaph and Ethan were fingers to make a sounde with cymbales of brasse,

Ko ia, naʻe vaheʻi ʻae kau hiva, ko Hemani, mo ʻAsafi, mo Etani, ke fakapakihi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa pakihi palasa;

20 And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Iehiel, and Vnni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah with violes on Alamoth,

Pea ko Sakalia, mo ʻAsieli, mo Similamoti, mo Sehieli, mo Uni, mo ʻIliapi, mo Māseia, mo Penaia, ki he ngaahi ūtete ʻo hangē ko e leʻo fakafefine;

21 And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneah, and Obed Edom, and Ieiel, and Azaziah, with harpes vpon Sheminith Ienazzeah.

Pea ko Matitia, mo Elifili, mo Mikineia, mo ʻOpeti-itomi, mo Sieli, mo ʻAsasia, ki he ngaahi haʻape naʻe leʻo lahi hake.

22 But Chenaniah the chiefe of the Leuites had the charge, bearing ye burden in the charge, for he was able to instruct.

Pea naʻe ʻia Kinania ʻae fasi ʻoe hiva naʻe ekinaki ʻe ia ʻae hiva, he naʻa ne poto ai.

23 And Berechiah and Elkanah were porters for the Arke.

Pea ko Pelekia mo ʻElikena ko e ongo tauhi matapā ʻakinaua ki he puha ʻoe fuakava.

24 And Shecaniah and Iehoshaphat and Nethaneel and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer the Priestes did blowe with trumpets before the Arke of God, and Obed Edom and Ieiiah were porters for the Arke.

Pea ko Sipania, mo Sihosafate, mo Netanili, mo ʻAmasai, mo Sakalia, mo Penaia, mo ʻEliesa ko e kau taulaʻeiki, naʻe ifi ʻekinautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻalea ʻo muʻomuʻa ʻi he puha ʻoe fuakava ʻae ʻOtua: pea ko ʻOpeti-ʻItomi mo Sehia ko e ongo tauhi matapā ʻakinaua ki he puha ʻoe fuakava.

25 So Dauid and the Elders of Israel and the captaines of thousandes went to bring vp the Arke of the couenant of the Lord from the house of Obed Edom with ioye.

Ko ia, naʻe ʻalu ʻa Tevita, mo e kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli, mo e ngaahi ʻeikitau naʻe pule ki he ngaahi toko afe, koeʻuhi ke nau ʻohake ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova mei he fale ʻo ʻOpeti-ʻItomi, ʻi he fiefia.

26 And because that God helped the Leuites that bare the Arke of the couenant of the Lord, they offered seuen bullockes and seuen rammes.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene tokoni ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae kau Livai naʻe fua ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova, naʻa nau feilaulau ʻaki ʻae fanga pulu ʻe fitu, mo e fanga sipitangata ʻe fitu.

27 And Dauid had on him a linen garment, as all the Leuites that bare the Arke, and the singers and Chenaniah that had the chiefe charge of the singers: and vpon Dauid was a linnen Ephod.

Pea naʻe kofuʻaki ʻa Tevita ʻae kofu ʻoe tupenu lelei, pea naʻe pehē mo e kau Livai kotoa pē naʻe fua ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava, mo e kau hiva, pea pehē mo Kinania ko e tangata taki hiva mo e kau hiva: naʻe kofuʻaki foki ʻe Tevita ʻae ʻefoti ʻoe tupenu lelei.

28 Thus all Israel brought vp the Arke of the Lordes couenant with shouting and sounde of cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbales, making a sound with violes and with harpes.

Naʻe pehē ʻae ʻomi ʻe ʻIsileli kātoa ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova ʻaki ʻae mavava, mo e ʻuʻulu ʻoe ngaahi nifoʻi manu, mo e ngaahi meʻalea, mo e ngaahi meʻa pakihi, mo e tatangi ʻoe ngaahi ūtete mo e ngaahi haʻape.

29 And when the Arke of the couenant of the Lord came into the citie of Dauid, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at a windowe, and sawe King Dauid dauncing and playing, and she despised him in her heart.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻI heʻene aʻu atu ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova ki he Kolo ʻo Tevita, naʻe sio ʻa Mikale ko e ʻofefine ʻo Saula mei he matapā sioʻata, mo ne mamata ki he tuʻi ko Tevita ʻoku meʻe mo tā meʻa faiva: pea naʻa ne manuki kiate ia ʻi hono loto.
