¹In David si je sezidal hiše v mestu Davidovem; in pripravil je mesto za skrinjo Božjo in razpel šator zanjo.

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.

²Tedaj je rekel David: Nihče ne sme nositi skrinje Božje razen levitov, kajti nje je izvolil GOSPOD, da nosijo skrinjo Božjo in služijo njemu vekomaj.

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.`

³In David zbere vsega Izraela v Jeruzalemu, da prineso skrinjo GOSPODOVO na mesto njeno, ki ga je bil pripravil zanjo.

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

⁴David zbere tudi sinove Aronove in levite.

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

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

¹²in jim veli: Vi ste poglavarji očetovinam levitov: posvetíte se vi in bratje vaši, da prinesete gori skrinjo GOSPODA, Boga Izraelovega, na mesto, ki sem ga pripravil zanjo.

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;

¹³Zakaj ker je niste nosili onikrat, je storil GOSPOD, naš Bog, pretrg med nami, ker ga nismo iskali, kakor je prav.

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.`

¹⁴Posvetili so se torej duhovniki in leviti, da prineso gori skrinjo GOSPODA, Boga Izraelovega.

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

¹⁵In sinovi Levijevi so nesli skrinjo Božjo na ramah, zadevši nase droga njena, kakor je bil zapovedal Mojzes po besedi GOSPODOVI.

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.

¹⁶In David je velel poglavarjem levitov, naj postavijo svoje brate, pevce, z glasbenim orodjem, s psalmovimi citrami, s harfami in cimbali, da glasno pojo, povzdigujoč glas z veseljem.

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.

¹⁷Nastavili so torej leviti Hemana, sina Joelovega, in od bratov njegovih Asafa, sina Berekijevega, in od sinov Merarijevih brate svoje: Etana, sina Kusajevega,

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;

¹⁸in ž njimi njih brate druge vrste: Zeharija, Bena, Jaaziela, Semiramota, Jehiela, Unija, Eliaba, Benaja, Maaseja, Matitija, Elifeleha, Mikneja, Obededoma in Jegiela, vratarje; –

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;

¹⁹in sicer pevce, Hemana, Asafa in Etana, da glasno godejo na medene cimbale;

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

²⁰Zeharija pa in Aziela, Semiramota, Jehiela, Unija, Eliaba, Maaseja in Benaja s psalmovimi citrami na visoke glasove;

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

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

²²In Kenanija je bil načelnik levitom pri petju; on je učil petje, ker je bil veščak.

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

²³In Berekija in Elkana sta bila vratarja pri skrinji.

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

²⁴A Sebanija, Josafat, Netanel, Amasaj, Zeharija, Benaja in Eliezer, duhovniki, so trobili na trombe pred skrinjo Božjo. In Obededom in Jehia sta bila vratarja pri skrinji.

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.

²⁵David in starejšine Izraelovi in poveljniki tisočim so torej šli, da prineso gori skrinjo zaveze GOSPODOVE iz hiše Obededomove z veseljem.

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;

²⁶In ker je Bog pomagal levitom, ki so nesli skrinjo zaveze GOSPODOVE, so darovali sedem juncev in sedem ovnov.

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.

²⁷David pa je bil oblečen v vrhnjo suknjo iz tenčice in tudi vsi leviti, ki so nesli skrinjo, in pevci in Kenanija, pevovodja, pri pevcih; in David je imel na sebi platnen naramnik.

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.

²⁸Tako je ves Izrael prenesel gori skrinjo GOSPODOVE zaveze z veselim ukanjem in z glasom roga in s trobentami in cimbali, z glasnim petjem pri psalmovih citrah in harfah.In ko je prišla skrinja zaveze GOSPODOVE v mesto Davidovo, je gledala Mihala, hči Savlova, skozi okno, in videč kralja Davida, da poskakuje in igra, ga je zaničevala v srcu svojem.

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,

²⁹In ko je prišla skrinja zaveze GOSPODOVE v mesto Davidovo, je gledala Mihala, hči Savlova, skozi okno, in videč kralja Davida, da poskakuje in igra, ga je zaničevala v srcu svojem.

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.
