1 Meʻa Hokohoko 15
1David built houses for himself in the city of David. And he prepared a place for the ark of God and pitched a tent for it.
1PEA 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.
2Then David said that no one but the Levites may carry the ark of God, for the LORD had chosen them to carry the ark of the LORD and to minister to him forever.
2Pea 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.”
3And David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem to bring up the ark of the LORD to its place, which he had prepared for it.
3Pea 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.
4And David gathered together the sons of Aaron and the Levites:
4Pea naʻe fakataha ʻe Tevita ʻae fānau ʻa ʻElone, mo e kau Livai:
5of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the chief, with 120 of his brothers;
5Mei he ngaahi foha ʻo Kohate; ʻa Ulieli ko honau ʻeiki, pea mo hono kāinga ko e toko teau mo e toko uofulu:
6of the sons of Merari, Asaiah the chief, with 220 of his brothers;
6Pea ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo Melali: ko ʻAsaia, ko honau ʻeiki, pea mo hono kāinga ko e toko teau mo e toko uofulu:
7of the sons of Gershom, Joel the chief, with 130 of his brothers;
7Pea ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo Kesomi; ko Soeli ko honau ʻeiki, pea mo hono kāinga ko e toko teau mo e toko tolungofulu:
8of the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chief, with 200 of his brothers;
8Pea ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElisafani; ko Simaia ko honau ʻeiki, pea mo hono kāinga ko e toko uangeau:
9of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief, with 80 of his brothers;
9Pea ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo Hepeloni; ko Ilieli ko honau ʻeiki, pea mo hono kāinga ko e toko valungofulu:
10of the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab the chief, with 112 of his brothers.
10Pea ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo ʻUsili; ko ʻAminitapi ko honau ʻeiki, pea mo hono kāinga ko e toko teau mo e toko hongofulu ma ua.
11Then David summoned the priests Zadok and Abiathar, and the Levites Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab,
11Pea 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,
12and said to them, “You are the heads of the fathers’ houses of the Levites. Consecrate yourselves, you and your brothers, so that you may bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel, to the place that I have prepared for it.
12ʻo 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.
13Because you did not carry it the first time, the LORD our God broke out against us, because we did not seek him according to the rule.”
13He 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.”
14So the priests and the Levites consecrated themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel.
14Ko 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.
15And the Levites carried the ark of God on their shoulders with the poles, as Moses had commanded according to the word of the LORD.
15Pea 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.
16David also commanded the chiefs of the Levites to appoint their brothers as the singers who should play loudly on musical instruments, on harps and lyres and cymbals, to raise sounds of joy.
16Pea 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.
17So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brothers Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari, their brothers, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;
17Ko 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;
18and with them their brothers of the second order, Zechariah, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and the gatekeepers Obed-edom and Jeiel.
18Pea 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.
19The singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were to sound bronze cymbals;
19Ko ia, naʻe vaheʻi ʻae kau hiva, ko Hemani, mo ʻAsafi, mo Etani, ke fakapakihi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa pakihi palasa;
20Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah were to play harps according to Alamoth;
20Pea 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;
21but Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah were to lead with lyres according to the Sheminith.
21Pea ko Matitia, mo Elifili, mo Mikineia, mo ʻOpeti-itomi, mo Sieli, mo ʻAsasia, ki he ngaahi haʻape naʻe leʻo lahi hake.
22Chenaniah, leader of the Levites in music, should direct the music, for he understood it.
22Pea naʻe ʻia Kinania ʻae fasi ʻoe hiva naʻe ekinaki ʻe ia ʻae hiva, he naʻa ne poto ai.
23Berechiah and Elkanah were to be gatekeepers for the ark.
23Pea ko Pelekia mo ʻElikena ko e ongo tauhi matapā ʻakinaua ki he puha ʻoe fuakava.
24Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, should blow the trumpets before the ark of God. Obed-edom and Jehiah were to be gatekeepers for the ark.
24Pea 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.
25So David and the elders of Israel and the commanders of thousands went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from the house of Obed-edom with rejoicing.
25Ko 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.
26And because God helped the Levites who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.
26Pea 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.
27David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, as also were all the Levites who were carrying the ark, and the singers and Chenaniah the leader of the music of the singers. And David wore a linen ephod.
27Pea 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.
28So all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, to the sound of the horn, trumpets, and cymbals, and made loud music on harps and lyres.
28Naʻe 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.
29And as the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the city of David, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David dancing and rejoicing, and she despised him in her heart.
29Pea 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.
