¹Ja Taavet tegi enesele kojad Taaveti linna; ja ta valmistas paiga Jumala laekale ning lõi sellele telgi üles.

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.

²Siis ütles Taavet, et Jumala laegast ei tohi kanda ükski muu kui ainult leviidid, sest Issand oli valinud nemad laegast kandma ja seda igavesti teenima.

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.

³Ja Taavet kutsus kogu Iisraeli Jeruusalemma, tooma Issanda laegast paika, mille ta sellele oli valmistanud.

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

⁴Ja Taavet kogus kokku Aaroni pojad ja leviidid.

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

⁵Kehati poegadest olid: Uuriel, ülem, ja tema vennad - sada kakskümmend;

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

⁶Merari poegadest: Asaja, ülem, ja tema vennad - kakssada kakskümmend;

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

⁷Geersomi poegadest: Joel, ülem, ja tema vennad - sada kolmkümmend;

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

⁸Elisafani poegadest: Semaja, ülem, ja tema vennad - kakssada;

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

⁹Hebroni poegadest: Eliel, ülem, ja tema vennad - kaheksakümmend;

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

¹⁰Ussieli poegadest: Amminadab, ülem, ja tema vennad - sada kaksteist.

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

¹¹Ja Taavet kutsus preestrid Saadoki ja Ebjatari, ja leviidid Uurieli, Asaja, Joeli, Semaja, Elieli ja Amminadabi

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

¹²ja ütles neile: 'Teie olete leviitide perekondade peamehed. Pühitsege iseendid ja oma vendi ja tooge Issanda, Iisraeli Jumala laegas paika, mille ma sellele olen valmistanud!

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.

¹³Sellepärast et teie eelmisel korral kaasas ei olnud, rebis meid Issand, meie Jumal; sest me ei olnud temast hoolinud, nagu oleksime pidanud.'

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.

¹⁴Siis pühitsesid preestrid ja leviidid endid Issanda, Iisraeli Jumala laegast tooma.

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

¹⁵Ja leviidid kandsid Jumala laegast kangidega oma õlgadel, nagu Mooses Issanda sõna järgi oli käskinud.

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.

¹⁶Ja Taavet käskis leviitide ülemaid, et nad laseksid ette astuda oma vennad lauljad mänguriistadega, naablite, kannelde ja simblitega, valju rõõmuhäält kuuldavale tooma.

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.

¹⁷Ja leviidid määrasid Heemani, Joeli poja, ja tema vendadest Aasafi, Berekja poja; ja Merari poegadest, nende vendadest, Eetani, Kuusaja poja;

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;

¹⁸ja koos nendega nende hõimlased: Sakarja, Jaasieli, Semiramoti, Jehieli, Unni, Eliabi, Benaja, Maaseja, Mattitja, Elifelehu, Mikneja, Oobed-Edomi ja Jeieli, väravahoidjad.

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;

¹⁹Lauljad Heeman, Aasaf ja Eetan mängisid vasksimblitega,

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

²⁰Sakarja, Asiel, Semiramot, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseja ja Benaja mängisid naablitega alamoti viisil

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

²¹ja Mattitja, Elifelehu, Mikneja, Oobed-Edom, Jehiel ja Asasja mängisid kanneldel seminiti viisil.

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

²²Ja Kenanja, leviitide lauluülem, juhatas pillimängu, sest ta oskas seda.

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

²³Ja Berekja ja Elkana olid laeka väravahoidjad.

²³And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.

²⁴Ja preestrid Sebanja, Joosafat, Netaneel, Amaasai, Sakarja, Benaja ja Elieser puhusid pasunaid Jumala laeka ees; ja Oobed-Edom ja Jehhija olid laeka väravahoidjad.

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.

²⁵Nõnda olid Taavet, Iisraeli vanemad ja tuhandepealikud teel, et rõõmsa meelega tuua Issanda seaduselaegas Oobed-Edomi kojast.

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.

²⁶Ja kuna Jumal aitas leviite, kes kandsid Issanda seaduselaegast, siis ohverdati seitse härjavärssi ja seitse jäära.

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.

²⁷Taavetil oli seljas linane kuub, nõndasamuti kõigil leviitidel, kes kandsid laegast, ja lauljail ning Kenanjal, lauluülemal; Taavetil oli ka linane õlarüü.

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.

²⁸Ja kogu Iisrael tõi Issanda seaduselaeka üles hõisates ja sarve puhudes, pasunate, simblite, naablite ja kanneldega mängides.

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.

²⁹Aga kui Issanda seaduselaegas jõudis Taaveti linna, vaatas Miikal, Sauli tütar, aknast, ja nähes kuningas Taavetit tantsimas ja mängimas, põlgas ta teda oma südames.

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.
