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.

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 has Jehovah chosen to carry the ark of God, and to serve 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 assembled all Israel to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of Jehovah to its place that 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 gathered the sons 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 a 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 a 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 eighty;

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 a 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 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.

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, Jehovah 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 hallowed themselves to bring up the ark of Jehovah the 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 bore the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staves upon them, as Moses had commanded according to the word of Jehovah.

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 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.

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.

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;

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 [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;

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.

¹⁹and the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, to sound aloud 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 lutes 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 Obed-Edom and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to lead [the singing].

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 for the music, gave instruction in music, for he was skilful.

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, blew with the trumpets before the ark of God; and Obed-Edom and Jehijah 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.

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.

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 bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, that they sacrificed 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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
