1 Cronache 15
1 OR Davide si fece delle case nella Città di Davide; ed apparecchiò un luogo per l'Arca di Dio, e le tese un padiglione.
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 Allora Davide disse: Ei non istà ad [altri] che a' Leviti di portar l'Arca di Dio; perciocchè il Signore li ha eletti per portar l'Arca di Dio, e per ministrargli in perpetuo.
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 E Davide adunò tutto Israele in Gerusalemme, per trasportar l'Arca del Signore al suo luogo, ch'egli le avea apparecchiato.
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 Davide adunò eziandio i figliuoli d'Aaronne, e i Leviti.
Certainly, there were both the sons of Aaron and the Levites:
5 De' figliuoli di Chehat, Uriel [era] il principale, ed [avea seco] centoventi dei suoi fratelli.
From the sons of Kohath, Uriel was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred twenty.
6 De' figliuoli di Merari, Asaia [era] il principale, ed [avea seco] dugentoventi de' suoi fratelli.
From the sons of Merari: Asaiah was the leader, and his brothers were two hundred twenty.
7 De' figliuoli di Gherson, Ioel [era] il principale, ed [avea seco] centotrenta de' suoi fratelli.
From the sons of Gershom: Joel was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred thirty.
8 De' figliuoli di Elisafan, Semaia [era] il principale, ed [avea seco] dugento de' suoi fratelli.
From the sons of Elizaphan: Shemaiah was the leader, and his brothers were two hundred.
9 De' figliuoli di Hebron, Eliel [era] il principale, ed [avea seco] ottanta de' suoi fratelli.
From the sons of Hebron: Eliel was the leader, and his brothers were eighty.
10 De' figliuoli di Uzziel, Amminadab [era] il principale, ed [avea seco] cento dodici de' suoi fratelli.
From the sons of Uzziel: Amminadab was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred twelve.
11 E Davide chiamò Sadoc ed Ebiatar, sacerdoti, e i Leviti Uriel, Asaia, e Ioel, Semaia, Eliel, ed Amminadab.
And David summoned the priests, Zadok and Abiathar, and the Levites: Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.
12 E disse loro: Voi [siete] i capi delle [famiglie] paterne de' Leviti; santificate voi, ed i vostri fratelli; acciocchè trasportiate l'Arca del Signore Iddio d'Israele al [luogo che] io le ho apparecchiato.
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 Perciocchè voi non [ci foste] la prima volta, il Signore Iddio nostro fece una rottura fra noi; perciocchè noi non l'avevamo ricercato secondo che si conveniva.
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 I sacerdoti adunque, e i Leviti, si santificarono, per trasportar l'Arca del Signore Iddio d'Israele.
Therefore, the priests and the Levites were sanctified, so that they might carry the ark of the Lord God of Israel.
15 E i figliuoli dei Leviti portarono l'Arca di Dio in su le loro spalle, con le stanghe che aveano addosso, come Mosè avea comandato, secondo la parola del Signore.
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 E Davide disse a' principali d'infra i Leviti che facessero esser [quivi] presenti i lor fratelli cantori, con istrumenti musicali, salteri, e cetere, e cembali, sonando, [ed] alzando la voce, con allegrezza.
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 E i Leviti fecero esser [quivi] presenti Heman, figliuolo di Ioel; e d'infra i fratelli di esso, Asaf, figliuolo di Berechia; e d'infra i figliuoli di Merari, lor fratelli, Etan, figliuolo di Cusaia;
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 e, con loro, i lor fratelli del secondo ordine: Zaccaria, e Ben, e Iaaziel, e Semiramot, e Iehiel, ed Unni, ed Eliab, e Benaia, e Maaseia, e Mattitia, ed Elifelehu, e Micneia, ed Obed-Edom, e Ieiel, portinai.
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 Or questi cantori: Heman, Asaf, ed Etan, sonavano con cembali di rame;
Now the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were sounding out with cymbals of brass.
20 e Zaccaria, e Iaaziel, e Semiramot, e Iehiel, ed Unni, ed Eliab, Maaseia, e Benaia, sonavano con salteri sopra Alamot.
And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah were singing mysteries with the psalteries.
21 E Mattitia, ed Elifelehu, e Micneia, ed Obed-Edom, e Ieiel, ed Azaria, sonavano con le cetere sopra Seminit, per li canti di vittoria.
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 E Chenania, principale fra i Leviti, intonava; egli presideva all'intonare, perciocchè egli [era uomo] intendente.
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 E Berechia, ed Elcana, [erano] portinai dell'Arca.
And Berechiah and Elkanah were porters of the ark.
24 E Sebania, e Giosafat, e Natanael, ed Amasai, e Zaccaria, e Benaia, ed Eliezer, sacerdoti, sonavano con le trombe davanti all'Arca di Dio; ed Obed-Edom, e Iehia, [erano] portinai dell'Arca.
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 Così Davide, e gli Anziani d'Israele, ed i capi delle migliaia, camminavano trasportando l'Arca del Patto del Signore dalla casa di Obed-Edom, con allegrezza.
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 E quando Iddio dava alleggiamento a' Leviti che portavano l'Arca del Patto del Signore, si sacrificavano sette giovenchi, e sette montoni.
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 E Davide [era] ammantato d'un ammanto di bisso; e parimente tutti i Leviti che portavano l'Arca, ed i cantori, e Chenania, capo de' cantori nell'intonare; e Davide avea indosso un Efod di lino.
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 Così tutto Israele conduceva l'Arca del Patto del Signore, con grida d'allegrezza, con suon di corni, e con trombe, e con cembali, sonando con salteri, e con cetere.
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 Ora, quando l'Arca del Patto del Signore giunse alla Città di Davide, Mical, figliuola di Saulle, riguardò dalla finestra, e vide il re Davide, che saltava, e festeggiava. Ed ella lo sprezzò nel suo cuore.
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.
