¹[Ny amin'ny nitondrana ny fiara niakatra tany Jerosalema] Ary Davida nanao trano ho azy tao an-Tanànan'i Davida sady namboatra fitoerana sy nanorin-day ho an'ny fiaran'Andriamanitra.

¹And he maketh for himself houses in the city of David, and prepareth a place for the ark of God, and stretcheth out for it a tent.

²Ary tamin'izay dia hoy Davida: Tsy misy tokony hitondra ny fiaran'Andriamanitra afa-tsy ny Levita ihany, satria izy no efa nofidin'i Jehovah hitondra ny fiaran'Andriamanitra sy hanao fanompoam-pivavahana ho Azy mandrakizay.

²Then said David, `None [are] to carry the ark of God, except the Levites, for on them hath Jehovah fixed to carry the ark of God, and to serve Him — unto the age.`

³Dia novorin'i Davida tany Jerosalema ny Isiraely rehetra hampakatra ny fiaran'i Jehovah ho any amin'ny fitoerana izay namboariny ho azy.

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

⁴Ary novorin'i Davida ny taranak'i Arona sy ny Levita:

⁴And David gathereth the sons of Aaron, and the Levites.

⁵tamin'ny taranak'i Kehata dia Oriela lehibeny sy ny rahalahiny roa-polo amby zato;

⁵Of sons of Kohath: Uriel the chief, and his brethren, a hundred and twenty.

⁶tamin'ny taranak'i Merary dia Asaia lehibeny sy ny rahalahiny roa-polo amby roan-jato;

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

⁷tamin'ny taranak'i Gersona dia Joela lehibeny sy ny rahalahiny telo-polo amby zato;

⁷Of sons of Gershom: Joel the chief, and his brethren, a hundred and thirty.

⁸tamin'ny taranak'i Elizafana dia Semaia lehibeny sy ny rahalahiny roan-jato;

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

⁹tamin'ny taranak'i Hebrona dia Eliala lehibeny sy ny rahalahiny valo-polo,

⁹Of sons of Hebron: Eliel the chief, and his brethren, eighty.

¹⁰tamin'ny taranak'i Oziela dia Aminadaba lehibeny sy ny rahalahiny roa ambin'ny folo amby zato.

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

¹¹Ary Davida niantso an'i Zadoka sy Abiatara mpisorona sy ny Levita, dia Oriela sy Asaia sy Joela sy Semaia sy Eliala ary Aminadaba,

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

¹²ka nanao taminy hoe: Hianareo lohan'ny fianakavian'ny Levita, hamasino ny tenanareo, dia ianareo sy ny rahalahinareo, mba hampakaranareo ny fiaran'i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, ho ao amin'ilay namboariko ho azy.

¹²and saith to them, `Ye [are] heads of the fathers of the Levites; sanctify yourselves, ye and your brethren, and ye have brought up the ark of Jehovah, God of Israel, unto [the place] I have prepared for it;

¹³Satria tsy ianareo no tamin'ilay teo, dia nasian'i Jehovah Andriamanitsika isika, fa tsy nitady Azy araka ny voadidy.

¹³because at the first [it was] not ye, Jehovah our God made a breach upon us, because we sought Him not according to the ordinance.`

¹⁴Dia nanamasina ny tenany ny mpisorona sy ny Levita hampakatra ny fiaran'i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely.

¹⁴And the priests and the Levites sanctify themselves, to bring up the ark of Jehovah, God of Israel;

¹⁵Ary ny Levita nilanja ny fiaran'Andriamanitra tamin'ny hazo, tahaka ny nandidian'i Mosesy araka ny tenin'i Jehovah.

¹⁵and sons of the Levites bear the ark of God, as Moses commanded, according to the word of Jehovah, on their shoulder, with staves, above them.

¹⁶Ary ireo lehiben'ny Levita dia nasain'i Davida nanendry ny mpihira rahalahiny hitondra ny zava-maneno, dia ny valiha sy ny lokanga ary hampaneno ny kipantsona, mba hanandra-peo amin'ny fifaliana.

¹⁶And David saith to the heads of the Levites to appoint their brethren the singers, with instruments of song, psalteries, and harps, and cymbals, sounding, to lift up with the voice for joy.

¹⁷Ka dia notendren'ny Levita Hemana, zanak'i Joela; ary tamin'ny rahalahiny dia Asafa, zanak'i Berekia; ary tamin'ny taranak'i Merary rahalahiny dia Etana, zanak'i Kosaia;

¹⁷And the Levites appoint Heman son of Joel, and of his brethren, Asaph son of Berechiah, and of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan son of Kushaiah;

¹⁸ary naman'ireo ihany koa ny rahalahiny manarakaraka, dia Zakaria sy Bena sy Jaziela sy Semiramota sy Jehiela sy Ony sy Eliaba sy Benaia sy Mahaseia sy Matitia sy Elifeleho sy Mikneia sy Obed-edoma ary Jeiela, mpiandry varavarana.

¹⁸and with them their brethren, the seconds [in 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 gatekeepers;

¹⁹Ary Hemana sy Asafa ary Etana mpihira dia nasaina nitondra kipantsona varahina hampanenoina.

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

²⁰Ary Zakaria sy Aziela sy Semiramota sy Jehiela sy Ony sy Eliaba sy Mahaseia sy Benaia no nasaina nitendry valiha tamin'ny Alamota.

²⁰and Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jeheil, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries besides virgins,

²¹Ary Matitia sy Elifeleho sy Mikneia sy Obed-edoma sy Jeiela ary Azazia no nasaina nitendry ny lokanga tamin'ny Seminita ho mpitarika.

²¹and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps, on the octave, to oversee.

²²Ary Kenania, lehiben'ny Levita, no tonian'ny fitondrana; ary nampianatra ny fitondrana izy, fa nahay.[Na: ny hira]

²²And Chenaniah, head of the Levites, [is] over the burden; he instructeth about the burden, for he [is] intelligent.

²³Ary Berekia sy Elikana no mpiandry varavarana amin'ny fiara.

²³And Berechiah and Elkanah [are] gatekeepers for the ark.

²⁴Ary Sebania sy Josafata sy Netanela sy Amasay sy Zakaria sy Benaia ary Eliezera, izay samy mpisorona, no nitsoka ny trompetra teo alohan'ny fiaran'Andriamanitra, ary Obed-edoma sy Jehia koa no mpiandry varavarana amin'ny fiara.

²⁴And Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer the priests, are blowing with trumpets before the ark of God; and Obed-Edom and Jehiah [are] gatekeepers for the ark.

²⁵Ary Davida sy ny loholon'ny Isiraely mbamin'ny mpifehy arivo no nandeha hampakatra ny fiaran'ny faneken'i Jehovah avy tao an-tranon'i Obed-edoma tamin'ny fifaliana.

²⁵And it is David, and the elders of Israel, and the heads of the thousands, who are going to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah from the house of Obed-Edom with joy;

²⁶Ary rehefa nomban'Andriamanitra ny Levita izay nilanja ny fiaran'ny faneken'i Jehovah, dia namono vantotr'ombilahy fito sy ondrilahy fito hatao fanatitra izy.

²⁶and it cometh to pass, in God`s helping the Levites bearing the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, that they sacrifice seven bullocks and seven rams.

²⁷Ary niakanjo akanjo rongony fotsy madinika Davida, ary niakanjo toy izany koa ny Levita rehetra izay nitondra ny fiara ary ny mpihira sy Kenania, tonian'ny fitondrana, mbamin'ny mpihira; ary Davida nisalotra efoda rongony fotsy koa.

²⁷And David is wrapped in an upper robe of fine linen, and all the Levites who are bearing the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah head of the burden of the singers; and on David [is] an Ephod of linen.

²⁸Toy izany no nampakaran'ny Isiraely rehetra ny fiaran'ny faneken'i Jehovah tamin'ny fihobiana sy ny feon'ny anjomara sy ny trompetra ary ny kipantsona sy tamin'ny fitendrena ny valiha sy ny lokanga.Ary nony tonga tao an-Tanànan'i Davida ny fiaran'ny faneken'i Jehovah, dia nitsirika teo am-baravarankely Mikala, zanakavavin'i Saoly, ka nahita an'i Davida mpanjaka nibitaka sy nitsinjaka; ka dia nikizaka azy tao am-pony izy.

²⁸And all Israel are bringing up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah with shouting, and with the sound of a cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, sounding with psalteries and harps,

²⁹Ary nony tonga tao an-Tanànan'i Davida ny fiaran'ny faneken'i Jehovah, dia nitsirika teo am-baravarankely Mikala, zanakavavin'i Saoly, ka nahita an'i Davida mpanjaka nibitaka sy nitsinjaka; ka dia nikizaka azy tao am-pony izy.

²⁹and it cometh to pass, the ark of the covenant of Jehovah is entering in unto the city of David, and Michal daughter of Saul is looking through the window, and seeth king David dancing and playing, and despiseth him in her heart.
