Chronicles I 15
1 And [David] made for himself houses in the city of David, and he prepared a place for the ark of God, and made a tent for it.
Daudi aarĩkia gwaka nyũmba ciake mwene kũu Itũũra Inene rĩa Daudi, nĩahaarĩirie handũ ha kũiga ithandũkũ rĩa Ngai, na akĩrĩambĩra hema.
2 Then said David, It is not [lawful for any] to bear the ark of God, but the Levites; for the Lord has chosen them to bear the ark of the Lord, and to minister to him for ever.
Ningĩ Daudi akiuga atĩrĩ, “Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩ wagĩrĩirwo nĩ gũkuua ithandũkũ rĩa Ngai tiga o Alawii, tondũ nĩo Jehova aathuurire makuuage ithandũkũ rĩu rĩa Jehova na mamũtungatagĩre nginya tene.”
3 And David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the Lord to the place which he [had] prepared for it.
Daudi nĩacookanĩrĩirie andũ othe a Isiraeli hamwe kũu Jerusalemu nĩguo marehe ithandũkũ rĩa Jehova handũ harĩa aarĩthondekeire.
4 And David gathered together the sons of Aaron the Levites.
Nĩacookanĩrĩirie njiaro cia Harũni na Alawii ta ũũ:
5 Of the sons of Caath; [there was] Uriel the chief, and his brethren, a hundred and twenty.
Kuuma kũrĩ njiaro cia Kohathu, Urieli nĩwe warĩ mũtongoria, na andũ a nyũmba yao 120;
6 Of the sons of Merari; Asaia the chief, and his brethren, two hundred and twenty.
kuuma kũrĩ njiaro cia Merari, Asaia nĩwe warĩ mũtongoria, na andũ a nyũmba yao 220;
7 Of the sons of Gedson; Joel the chief, and his brethren, a hundred and thirty.
kuuma kũrĩ njiaro cia Gerishoni, Joeli nĩwe warĩ mũtongoria, na andũ a nyũmba yao 130;
8 Of the sons of Elisaphat; Semei the chief, and his brethren, two hundred.
kuuma kũrĩ njiaro cia Elizafani, Shemaia nĩwe warĩ mũtongoria, na andũ a nyũmba yao 200;
9 Of the sons of Chebrom; Eliel the chief, and his brethren eighty.
kuuma kũrĩ njiaro cia Hebironi, Elieli nĩwe warĩ mũtongoria, na andũ a nyũmba yao 80;
10 Of the sons of Oziel; Aminadab the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twelve.
kuuma kũrĩ njiaro cia Uzieli, Aminadabu nĩwe warĩ mũtongoria, na andũ a nyũmba yao 112.
11 And David called Sadoc and Abiathar the priests, and the Levites, Uriel, Asaia, and Joel, and Semaia, and Eliel, and Aminadab,
Ningĩ Daudi agĩĩta Zadoku na Abiatharu arĩa athĩnjĩri-Ngai, na Urieli, na Asaia, na Joeli, na Shemaia, na Elieli, na Aminadabu arĩa Alawii.
12 and said to them, You [are] the heads of the families of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, you and your brethren, and you shall carry up the ark of the God of Israel, [to the place] which I have prepared for it.
Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩ inyuĩ anene a nyũmba cia Alawii; inyuĩ ene na Alawii arĩa angĩ no nginya mwĩtherie na mwambatie ithandũkũ rĩa Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli nginya handũ harĩa ndĩrĩthondekeire.
13 For because you were not [ready] at the first, our God made a breach upon us, because we sought him not according to the ordinance.
Nĩ ũndũ inyuĩ, Alawii, mũtiarĩambatirie ihinda rĩa mbere, nĩkĩo Jehova Ngai witũ aatũũkĩrĩire na marakara. Tũtiigana gũtuĩria ũhoro wa ũrĩa tũngĩekire kũrĩ we, kũringana na ũrĩa gwatuĩtwo.”
14 So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves, to bring up the ark of the God of Israel.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii magĩĩtheria nĩgeetha maambatie ithandũkũ rĩa Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli.
15 And the sons of the Levites took the ark of God, (as Moses commanded by the word of God according to the scripture) upon their shoulders with staves.
Nao Alawii magĩkuua ithandũkũ rĩa Ngai na mĩtĩ mĩraaya mamĩigĩrĩire ciande, o ta ũrĩa Musa aathanĩte kũringana na kiugo kĩa Jehova.
16 And David said to the chiefs of the Levites, Set your brethren the singers with musical instruments, lutes, harps, and cymbals, to sound aloud with a voice of joy.
Daudi akĩĩra atongoria a Alawii mathuure ariũ a ithe wao matuĩke aini, nao maine nyĩmbo cia gĩkeno makĩhũũraga inanda cia kĩnũbi, na cia mũgeeto, na thaani iria ihũũrithanagio ikagamba.
17 So the Levites appointed Aeman the son of Joel; Asaph the son of Barachias [was one] of his brethren; and Aethan the son of Kisaeus was of the sons of Merari their brethren;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Alawii magĩthuura Hemani mũrũ wa Joeli; kuuma harĩ ariũ a ithe, na magĩthuura Asafu mũrũ wa Berekia; na kuuma harĩ ariũ a ithe Amerari magĩthuura Ethani mũrũ wa Kushaia;
18 and with them their brethren of the second rank, Zacharias, and Oziel, and Semiramoth, and Jeiel, and Elioel, and Eliab, and Banaia, and Maasaia, and Matthathia, and Eliphena, and Makellia, and Abdedom, and Jeiel, and Ozias, the porters.
na ningĩ hamwe nao magĩthuura ariũ a ithe matuĩke anini ao wathani-inĩ. nao nĩ: Zekaria, na Jaazieli, na Shemiramothu, na Jehieli, na Uni, na Eliabu, na Benaia, na Maaseia, na Matithia, na Elifelehu, na Mikineia, na Obedi-Edomu, na Jeieli, arĩa arangĩri ihingo.
19 And the singers, Aeman, Asaph, and Aethan, with brazen cymbals to make [a sound] to be heard.
Hemani, na Asafu na Ethani maarĩ aini na maahũũrithanagia thaani cia gĩcango;
20 Zacharias, and Oziel, Semiramoth, Jeiel, Oni, Eliab, Maasaeas, Banaeas, with lutes, on alaemoth.
Zekaria, na Azieli, na Shemiramothu, na Jehieli, na Uni, na Eliabu, na Maaseia, na Benaia maarĩ a kũhũũra inanda cia kĩnũbi, kũringana na Alamothu.
21 And Mattathias, and Eliphalu, and Makenia, and Abdedom, and Jeiel, and Ozias, with harps of Amasenith, to make a loud noise.
Nake Matithia, na Elifelehu, na Mikineia, na Obedi-Edomu, na Jeieli, na Azazia maarĩ a kũhũũra inanda cia mũgeeto, matongoretie kũringana na Sheminithu (ũguo nĩ ta kuuga mũgambo ũkũruruma).
22 And Chonenia chief of the Levites [was] master of the bands, because he was skillful.
Kenania ũrĩa mũtongoria wa Alawii nĩwe warũgamĩrĩire ũini; ũcio nĩguo warĩ wĩra wake tondũ aarĩ na ũũgĩ wa guo.
23 And Barachia and Elcana [were] doorkeepers of the ark.
Berekia na Elikana nĩo maarĩ a kũrangĩra mĩrango nĩ ũndũ wa ithandũkũ rĩu.
24 And Somnia, and Josaphat, and Nathanael, and Amasai, and Zacharia, and Banaea, and Eliezer, the priests, were sounding with trumpets before the ark of God: and Abdedom and Jeia [were] doorkeepers of the ark of God.
Athĩnjĩri-Ngai, nĩo Shebania, na Joshafatu, na Nethaneli, na Amasai, na Zekaria, na Benaia, na Eliezeri maarĩ a kũhuha tũrumbeta mbere ya ithandũkũ rĩa Ngai. Obedi-Edomu na Jehia o nao maarĩ arangĩri a mĩrango nĩ ũndũ wa ithandũkũ rĩu.
25 So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains of thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant from the house of Abdedom with gladness.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi na athuuri a Isiraeli, na anene a ikundi cia ngiri, magĩthiĩ kwambatia ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova kuuma nyũmba ya Obedi-Edomu makenete.
26 And it came to pass when God strengthened the Levites bearing the ark of the covenant of the Lord, that they sacrificed seven calves and seven rams.
Tondũ Ngai nĩateithĩtie Alawii arĩa maakuuaga ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova-rĩ, ndegwa mũgwanja na ndũrũme mũgwanja nĩciarutirwo igongona.
27 And David [was] girded with a fine linen robe, and all the Levites [who were] bearing the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the singers, and Chonenias the master of the band of singers; also upon David [there was] a robe of fine linen.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Daudi eehumbĩte nguo ya igũrũ ndaaya ya gatani ĩrĩa njega, na noguo Alawii othe arĩa makuuĩte ithandũkũ rĩu mehumbĩte, o na aini na Kenania ũrĩa warĩ mũtongoria wa ũini. O na ningĩ Daudi nĩehumbĩte ebodi ya gatani.
28 And all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouting, and with the sound of a horn, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, playing loudly on lutes and harps.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ othe a Isiraeli makĩambatia ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova makĩanagĩrĩra, makĩhuhaga macoro na tũrumbeta, na makĩhũũrithanagia thaani iria ihũũrithanagio na ikagamba, na makĩhũũraga inanda cia kĩnũbi na cia mũgeeto.
29 And the ark of the covenant of the Lord arrived, and came to the city of David; and Melchol the daughter of Saul looked down through the window, and saw king David dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova rĩatoonyaga Itũũra Inene rĩa Daudi-rĩ, Mikali mwarĩ wa Saũlũ nĩacũthĩrĩirie arĩ ndirica-inĩ. Na rĩrĩa onire Mũthamaki Daudi akĩina akĩrũgarũgaga, akĩmũnyarara ngoro-inĩ yake.
