¹And David made him houses in the city of David, and prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent.

¹In David si je sezidal hiše v mestu Davidovem; in pripravil je mesto za skrinjo Božjo in razpel šator zanjo.

²Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites: for them hath the LORD chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister unto him for ever.

²Tedaj je rekel David: Nihče ne sme nositi skrinje Božje razen levitov, kajti nje je izvolil GOSPOD, da nosijo skrinjo Božjo in služijo njemu vekomaj.

³And David gathered all Israel together to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD unto his place, which he had prepared for it.

³In David zbere vsega Izraela v Jeruzalemu, da prineso skrinjo GOSPODOVO na mesto njeno, ki ga je bil pripravil zanjo.

⁴And David assembled the children of Aaron, and the Levites:

⁴David zbere tudi sinove Aronove in levite.

⁵Of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twenty:

⁵Iz sinov Kahatovih: Uriela, poglavarja, in njegovih bratov sto in dvajset;

⁶Of the sons of Merari; Asaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty:

⁶iz sinov Merarijevih: Asaja, poglavarja, in njegovih bratov dvesto in dvajset;

⁷Of the sons of Gershom; Joel the chief and his brethren an hundred and thirty:

⁷iz sinov Gersomovih: Joela, poglavarja, in njegovih bratov sto in trideset;

⁸Of the sons of Elizaphan; Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred:

⁸iz sinov Elizafanovih: Semaja, poglavarja, in njegovih bratov dvesto;

⁹Of the sons of Hebron; Eliel the chief, and his brethren fourscore:

⁹iz sinov Hebronovih: Eliela, poglavarja, in njegovih bratov osemdeset;

¹⁰Of the sons of Uzziel; Amminadab the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twelve.

¹⁰iz sinov Uzielovih: Aminadaba, poglavarja, in bratov njegovih sto in dvanajst.

¹¹And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab,

¹¹In David pokliče Zadoka in Abiatarja, duhovnika, in levite, namreč Uriela, Asaja, Joela, Semaja, Eliela in Aminadaba,

¹²And said unto them, Ye are the chief of the fathers of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel unto the place that I have prepared for it.

¹²in jim veli: Vi ste poglavarji očetovinam levitov: posvetíte se vi in bratje vaši, da prinesete gori skrinjo GOSPODA, Boga Izraelovega, na mesto, ki sem ga pripravil zanjo.

¹³For because ye did it not at the first, the LORD our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order.

¹³Zakaj ker je niste nosili onikrat, je storil GOSPOD, naš Bog, pretrg med nami, ker ga nismo iskali, kakor je prav.

¹⁴So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel.

¹⁴Posvetili so se torej duhovniki in leviti, da prineso gori skrinjo GOSPODA, Boga Izraelovega.

¹⁵And the children of the Levites bare the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staves thereon, as Moses commanded according to the word of the LORD.

¹⁵In sinovi Levijevi so nesli skrinjo Božjo na ramah, zadevši nase droga njena, kakor je bil zapovedal Mojzes po besedi GOSPODOVI.

¹⁶And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers with instruments of music, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy.

¹⁶In David je velel poglavarjem levitov, naj postavijo svoje brate, pevce, z glasbenim orodjem, s psalmovimi citrami, s harfami in cimbali, da glasno pojo, povzdigujoč glas z veseljem.

¹⁷So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;

¹⁷Nastavili so torej leviti Hemana, sina Joelovega, in od bratov njegovih Asafa, sina Berekijevega, in od sinov Merarijevih brate svoje: Etana, sina Kusajevega,

¹⁸And with them their brethren of the second degree, Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, the porters.

¹⁸in ž njimi njih brate druge vrste: Zeharija, Bena, Jaaziela, Semiramota, Jehiela, Unija, Eliaba, Benaja, Maaseja, Matitija, Elifeleha, Mikneja, Obededoma in Jegiela, vratarje; –

¹⁹So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were appointed to sound with cymbals of brass;

¹⁹in sicer pevce, Hemana, Asafa in Etana, da glasno godejo na medene cimbale;

²⁰And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries on Alamoth;

²⁰Zeharija pa in Aziela, Semiramota, Jehiela, Unija, Eliaba, Maaseja in Benaja s psalmovimi citrami na visoke glasove;

²¹And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to excel.

²¹Matitija pa in Elifeleha, Mikneja, Obededoma, Jegiela, Azazija, s harfami na globoke glasove, da vodijo petje.

²²And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was for song: he instructed about the song, because he was skillful.

²²In Kenanija je bil načelnik levitom pri petju; on je učil petje, ker je bil veščak.

²³And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.

²³In Berekija in Elkana sta bila vratarja pri skrinji.

²⁴And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, did blow with the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obededom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark.

²⁴A Sebanija, Josafat, Netanel, Amasaj, Zeharija, Benaja in Eliezer, duhovniki, so trobili na trombe pred skrinjo Božjo. In Obededom in Jehia sta bila vratarja pri skrinji.

²⁵So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the house of Obededom with joy.

²⁵David in starejšine Izraelovi in poveljniki tisočim so torej šli, da prineso gori skrinjo zaveze GOSPODOVE iz hiše Obededomove z veseljem.

²⁶And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that they offered seven bullocks and seven rams.

²⁶In ker je Bog pomagal levitom, ki so nesli skrinjo zaveze GOSPODOVE, so darovali sedem juncev in sedem ovnov.

²⁷And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bare the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: David also had upon him an ephod of linen.

²⁷David pa je bil oblečen v vrhnjo suknjo iz tenčice in tudi vsi leviti, ki so nesli skrinjo, in pevci in Kenanija, pevovodja, pri pevcih; in David je imel na sebi platnen naramnik.

²⁸Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise with psalteries and harps.

²⁸Tako je ves Izrael prenesel gori skrinjo GOSPODOVE zaveze z veselim ukanjem in z glasom roga in s trobentami in cimbali, z glasnim petjem pri psalmovih citrah in harfah.In ko je prišla skrinja zaveze GOSPODOVE v mesto Davidovo, je gledala Mihala, hči Savlova, skozi okno, in videč kralja Davida, da poskakuje in igra, ga je zaničevala v srcu svojem.

²⁹And it came to pass, as the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the city of David, that Michal, the daughter of Saul looking out at a window saw king David dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart.

²⁹In ko je prišla skrinja zaveze GOSPODOVE v mesto Davidovo, je gledala Mihala, hči Savlova, skozi okno, in videč kralja Davida, da poskakuje in igra, ga je zaničevala v srcu svojem.
