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

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

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, “No one ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites. For Yahweh has chosen them to carry the ark of God, and to minister to him forever.”

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

³David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of Yahweh to its place, which he had prepared for it.

⁴Ja Taavet kogus kokku Aaroni pojad ja leviidid.

⁴David gathered together 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 brothers one hundred twenty;

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

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

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

⁷of the sons of Gershom, Joel the chief, and his brothers one hundred thirty;

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁰of the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab the chief, and his brothers one hundred twelve.

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

¹¹David 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 said to them, “You are the heads of the fathers’ households of the Levites. Sanctify yourselves, both you and your brothers, that you may bring up the ark of Yahweh, 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 you didn’t carry it at first, Yahweh our God made broke out against us, because we didn’t seek him according to the ordinance.”

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

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

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

¹⁵The children of the Levites bore the ark of God on their shoulders with the poles thereon, as Moses commanded according to the word of Yahweh.

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

¹⁶David spoke to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brothers the singers, with instruments of music, stringed instruments and harps and cymbals, sounding aloud and 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;

¹⁷So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brothers, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brothers, 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 brothers of the second degree, Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, the doorkeepers.

¹⁹Lauljad Heeman, Aasaf ja Eetan mängisid vasksimblitega,

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

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 stringed instruments set to Alamoth;

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

²¹and Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps tuned to the eight-stringed lyre, to lead.

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

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

²³Ja Berekja ja Elkana olid laeka väravahoidjad.

²³Berechiah 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.

²⁴Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethanel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, blew the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obed-Edom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark.

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

²⁵So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh 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.

²⁶It happened, when God helped the Levites who bore the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, that they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.

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

²⁷David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites who bore the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: and David had on him an ephod of linen.

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

²⁸Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, sounding aloud with stringed instruments 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.

²⁹It happened, as the ark of the covenant of Yahweh came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David dancing and playing; and she despised him in her heart.
