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.

¹ Dawda na garuyaŋ cina nga boŋ se nga kwaara ra. A na nangu soola mo Irikoy sundurko se, ka hukum sinji a se noodin.

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.

² Gaa no Dawda ne: «Boro kulu mana hima ka Irikoy sundurko jare kala Lawitey, zama Rabbi n'i suuban i ma Irikoy sundurko jare, i ma goy nga se mo hal abada.»

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.

³ Dawda na Israyla kulu margu Urusalima ra, zama ngey ma Rabbi sundurko zijandi k'a jisi a nango kaŋ a soola a se din ra.

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

⁴ Dawda na Haruna izey da Lawitey mo margu.

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

⁵ Kohat dumo ra Uriyel ga ti jine bora, a dumi zangu nda waranka mo go a banda.

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

⁶ Merari dumo ra Asaya ga ti jine bora, a dumi zangu hinka nda waranka go a banda.

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

⁷ Gerson dumo ra Yowel ga ti jine bora, a dumi zangu nda waranza go a banda.

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

⁸ Elizafan dumo ra Semaya ga ti jine bora, a dumi zangu hinka go a banda.

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

⁹ Hebron dumo ra Eliyel ga ti jine bora, a dumi wahakku go a banda.

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

¹⁰ Uzziyel dumo ra Aminadab ga ti jine bora, a dumi zangu nda iway cindi hinka go a banda.

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

¹¹ Gaa no Dawda na alfagey ce, Zadok da Abiyatar, ngey da Lawitey jine borey Uriyel, da Asaya, da Yowel, da Semaya, da Eliyel, da Aminadab.

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.

¹² A ne i se: «Araŋ no ga ti kaayey almayaaley jine borey Lawitey se. Kal araŋ ma araŋ boŋ hanandi, araŋ d'araŋ almayaaley, zama araŋ ma kande Rabbi, Israyla Irikoyo sundurko ka kond'a hala nango kaŋ ay soola a se din ra.

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.

¹³ Zama doŋ jina araŋ man'a jare. A se no Rabbi na kortimi te iri gaa, zama iri mana Rabbi ceeci farilla boŋ.»

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

¹⁴ Kala alfagey da Lawitey izey na ngey boŋ hanandi zama ngey ma du ka kande Rabbi, Israyla Irikoyo sundurko.

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.

¹⁵ Lawitey izey binde na Irikoy sundurko jare ngey jasey gaa da bundey, mate kaŋ Musa n'i lordi nd'a Rabbi sanno boŋ.

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.

¹⁶ Woodin banda Dawda salaŋ Lawitey jine borey se ka ne i ma ngey dumi baytukoy daŋ i ma doon, i ma farhã kosongu te mo da dooni teeyaŋ jinayyaŋ, sanda moolo beeriyaŋ da moolo kaynayaŋ da guuru kaŋ i ga kar care gaa.

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;

¹⁷ Lawitey mo na Heman Yowel ize daŋ, nga nda nga nya-ize Asaf Bereciya izo. I suuban mo Merari dumo ra i nya-ize Etan Kusaya izo.

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.

¹⁸ I banda mo i nya-ize sasare hinkanta ra Zakariya, Ben, Yaaziyel, Semiramot, Yehiyel, Unni, Eliyab, Benaya, Maaseya, Mattitiya, Elifelehu, Mikneya, Obed-Edom, da Yeyel; woodin yaŋ kulu windi me batukoyaŋ no.

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

¹⁹ Kala baytukoy Heman, da Asaf, da Etan, i n'i daŋ i ma guuru-say jinay kar ka te kosongu.

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

²⁰ Zakariya, Aziyel, Semiramot, Yehiyel, Unni, Eliyab, Maaseya, da Benaya mo gonda moolo beeriyaŋ kaŋ i kosongo ga hima wandiyoyaŋ jinde.

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

²¹ Mattitiya, Elifelehu, Mikneya, Obed-Edom, Yeyel, da Azaziya mo ga jinde candi nda mooloyaŋ kaŋ i kosongo go ganda haray.

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

²² Kenaniya mo, Lawitey jine boro fo gonda baytukoy sanni. A ga baytu teeyaŋ dondonandi mo, zama a ga waani.

²³And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.

²³ Bereciya nda Elkana mo, windi me batukoyaŋ no sundurko se.

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.

²⁴ Alfagey mo, Sabaniya, Yosafat, Netanel, Amasay, Zakariya, Benaya, da Eliyezar ga kaakaacey kar Irikoy sundurko jine. Obed-Edom da Yehaya, ngey no ga ti fu me batukoy sundurko se.

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.

²⁵ Yaadin cine no Dawda nda Israyla arkusey, da zambarey jine borey koy d'a zama ngey ma ziji nda Rabbi sappa sundurko, ka kand'a a ma fun Obed-Edom windo ra da farhã.

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.

²⁶ A ciya mo, zama Irikoy go ga Lawitey kaŋ yaŋ ga Rabbi sappa sundurko jare gaakasinay, kal i na yeeji iyye da feeji gaaru iyye sarga.

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.

²⁷ Dawda bumbo go ga daabu nda lin* baano kwaay, danga Lawitey kulu kaŋ yaŋ goono ga sundurko jare cine, ngey nda baytu teekoy kaŋ gonda Kenaniya i jine boro kaŋ go ga baytu te baytukoy banda. Dawda go ga daabu mo nda lin kwaay.

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.

²⁸ Yaadin cine no Israyla ziji nda Rabbi sappa sundurko. I go ga kuuwa, i go ga hilliyaŋ kar, da kaakaaciyaŋ, da guuruyaŋ kaŋ i ga kar care gaa ka te kosongu, da moolo beeriyaŋ da ikaynayaŋ.

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.

²⁹ A te ka ciya mo, waato kaŋ Rabbi sappa sundurko to ka furo Dawda kwaara ra, kala Sawulu ize wayo Mikal niigaw finetaro gaa ka di Bonkoono Dawda, a go ga sar ka zimbi ka farhã cabe. Mikal dond'a mo nga bina ra.
