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

¹A nadovážil si domov v meste Dávidovom a pripravil miesto truhle Božej a roztiahol pre ňu stán.

²Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites, for them has Jehovah chosen to carry the ark of God, and to serve him for ever.

²Vtedy povedal Dávid: Nikto nemá nosiť truhlu Božiu iba Levitovia; lebo ich si vyvolil Hospodin na to, aby nosili truhlu Boha a aby mu svätoslúžili až na veky.

³And David assembled all Israel to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of Jehovah to its place that he had prepared for it.

³A Dávid shromaždil celého Izraela do Jeruzalema, aby priniesli truhlu Hospodinovu hore na jej miesto, ktoré jej pripravil.

⁴And David gathered the sons of Aaron and the Levites:

⁴A Dávid shromaždil synov Áronových a Levitov.

⁵of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twenty;

⁵Zo synov Kehátových veliteľ Uriel a jeho bratia sto dvadsiati.

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

⁶Zo synov Meráriho veliteľ Asaiáš a jeho bratia dvesto dvadsiati.

⁷of the sons of Gershom, Joel the chief, and his brethren a hundred and thirty;

⁷Zo synov Geršomových veliteľ Joel a jeho bratia sto tridsiati.

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

⁸Zo synov Elicafánových veliteľ Šemaiáš a jeho bratia počtom dvesto.

⁹of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief, and his brethren eighty;

⁹Zo synov Hebronových veliteľ Eliel a jeho bratia osemdesiati.

¹⁰of the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twelve.

¹⁰Zo synov Uzielových veliteľ Amminadáb a jeho bratia sto dvanásti.

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

¹¹A Dávid povolal Cádoka a Ebiatára, kňazov, i Levitov: Uriela, Asaiáša, Joela, Šemaiáša, Eliela a Amminadába

¹²and he said to them, Ye are the chief fathers of the Levites; hallow yourselves, ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of Jehovah the God of Israel to [the place that] I have prepared for it.

¹²a povedal im: Vy ste hlavami otcov Levitov; posväťte sa vy i vaši bratia a preneste truhlu Hospodina, Boha Izraelovho, hore na miesto, ktoré som jej pripravil.

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

¹³Lebo preto, že ste tak neurobili vy tam na počiatku, učinil Hospodin, náš Bôh, trhlinu medzi nami, lebo sme ho nehľadali podľa poriadku.

¹⁴So the priests and the Levites hallowed themselves to bring up the ark of Jehovah the God of Israel.

¹⁴Vtedy sa posvätili kňazi i Levitovia, aby preniesli hore truhlu Hospodina, Boha Izraelovho.

¹⁵And the children of the Levites bore the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staves upon them, as Moses had commanded according to the word of Jehovah.

¹⁵A tedy niesli synovia Levitov truhlu Božiu tak, ako prikázal Mojžiš, podľa slova Hospodinovho, na svojich pleciach, na sochoroch, na sebe.

¹⁶And David spoke to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren, the singers, with instruments of music, lutes, and harps, and cymbals, that they should sound aloud, lifting up the voice with joy.

¹⁶A Dávid riekol veliteľom Levitov, aby postavili svojich bratov spevákov do služby s nástrojami k sprievodu spevu, s citarami, harfami a s cymbalmi, aby dali čuť hudbu a spev pozdvihnúc hlas na radosť.

¹⁷And 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;

¹⁷A tak postavili Levitovia Hémana, syna Joelovho, a z jeho bratov Azafa, syna Berechiášovho; a zo synov Meráriho, ich bratov, Étana, syna Kúšaiášovho.

¹⁸and with them their brethren of the second [rank], Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, the doorkeepers;

¹⁸A s nimi ich bratov druhého radu: Zachariáša, (Bena) a Jaziela, Šemirámota, Jechiela, Unniho, Eliába, Benaiáša, Maaseiáša, Mattitiáša, Elifleáša, Mikneiáša, Obéd-edoma a Jehiela, vrátnych.

¹⁹and the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, to sound aloud with cymbals of brass;

¹⁹A speváci Héman, Azaf a Étan, s medenými cymbalmi, boli nato, aby dali čuť hudbu a spev.

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

²⁰Zachariáš, Aziel, Šemirámot, Jechiel, Unni, Eliáb, Maaseiáš a Benaiáš húdli na citary vysokým spevom na spôsob ako devy.

²¹and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obed-Edom and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to lead [the singing].

²¹Mattitiáš, Elifleáš, Mikneiáš, Obéd-edom, Jehiel a Azaziáš hrali na harfy na ôsmy hlas nízky, aby viedli spev.

²²And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites for the music, gave instruction in music, for he was skilful.

²²Chenaniáš, veliteľ Levitov, bol nad povznášaním hlasu; vyučoval povznášaniu hlasu, lebo sa rozumel tomu.

²³And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.

²³A Berechiáš a Elkána boli vrátnymi pri truhle.

²⁴And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, blew with the trumpets before the ark of God; and Obed-Edom and Jehijah were doorkeepers for the ark.

²⁴Šebaniáš, Jozafat, Natanael, Amazai, Zachariáš, Benaiáš a Eliézer, kňazi, trúbili na trúby pred truhlou Božou, a Obéd-edom a Jechiáš boli tiež vrátnym pri truhle.

²⁵And David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the house of Obed-Edom with joy.

²⁵A tak išiel Dávid i starší Izraelovi i velitelia tisícov, aby preniesli truhlu smluvy Hospodinovej z domu Obéd-edoma ta hore s radosťou.

²⁶And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, that they sacrificed seven bullocks and seven rams.

²⁶A stalo sa, pretože Bôh pomáhal Levitom, ktorí niesli truhlu smluvy Hospodinovej, že obetovali sedem juncov a sedem baranov.

²⁷And David was clothed with a robe of byssus, and all the Levites that bore the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah chief of the music of the singers; and David had upon him a linen ephod.

²⁷A Dávid bol odiaty kmentovým plášťom ako i všetci Levitovia, ktorí niesli truhlu, i speváci i Chenaniáš, veliteľ spevu, speváci, a Dávid mal na sebe ľanový efod.

²⁸And all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah with shouting, and with sound of the trumpet, and with clarions, and with cymbals, playing aloud with lutes and harps.

²⁸A celý Izrael niesli hore truhlu smluvy Hospodinovej s radostným krikom a so zvukom surmy, s trúbami a cymbalmi, hlasite hrajúc na citarách a harfách.

²⁹And it came to pass as the ark of the covenant of Jehovah came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked through a window, and saw king David dancing and playing; and she despised him in her heart.

²⁹A stalo sa, keď prišla truhla smluvy Hospodinovej až po mesto Dávidovo, že Míchaľ, dcéra Saulova, hľadela z okna. A keď videla kráľa Dávida, že poskakuje a plesá, pohŕdla ním vo svojom srdci.
