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.

¹Onda je David sazidao dvore u Davidovu gradu, pripravio mjesto za Kovčeg Božji i razapeo mu Šator.

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.”

²Potom je rekao David: "Ne smije nositi Kovčeg Božji nitko osim levita, jer je njih izabrao Jahve da nose Kovčeg Jahvin i da mu služe dovijeka."

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

³David je sakupio sav Izrael u Jeruzalem da prenesu Kovčeg Jahvin gore na njegovo mjesto koje mu bijaše pripravio.

⁴David gathered together the sons of Aaron, and the Levites:

⁴Skupio je David i Aronove sinove i levite.

⁵of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the chief, and his brothers one hundred twenty;

⁵Od Kehatovih sinova: kneza Uriela i sto dvadeset njegove braće;

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

⁶od Merarijevih sinova: kneza Asaju i dvjesta dvadeset njegove braće;

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

⁷od Geršomovih sinova: kneza Joela i sto trideset njegove braće.

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

⁸Od Elisafanovih sinova: kneza Šemaju i dvjesta njegove braće.

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

⁹Od Hebronovih sinova: kneza Eliela i osamdeset njegove braće;

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

¹⁰od Uzielovih sinova: kneza Aminadaba i sto dvanaest njegove braće.

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

¹¹Tada David pozva svećenike Sadoka i Ebjatara i levite Uriela, Asaju, Joela, Šemaju, Eliela i Aminadaba,

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.

¹²pa im reče: "Vi ste glavari levitskih porodica; posvetite sebe i svoju braću da prenesete gore Kovčeg Jahve, Izraelova Boga, na mjesto koje sam mu pripravio.

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.”

¹³Jer nas je pobio Jahve, Bog naš, zato što prvi put vi niste bili nazočni i što ga nismo tražili onako kako je trebalo."

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

¹⁴Posvetiše se tada svećenici i leviti da prenesu gore Kovčeg Jahve, Izraelova Boga.

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.

¹⁵Levitski su sinovi ponijeli Božji Kovčeg, na svojim ramenima, o motkama, kako je zapovjedio Mojsije po Jahvinoj riječi.

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.

¹⁶Tada David reče levitskim knezovima da između svoje braće postave pjevače s glazbalima, s harfama, citrama i cimbalima da se čuje i da gromko odjekuje radosno pjevanje.

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;

¹⁷Leviti su postavili Joelova sina Hemana, a od njegove braće Berekjina sina Asafa, i od njihove braće, Merarijevih sinova, Kušajina sina Etana.

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.

¹⁸S njima njihovu braću drugoga reda: Zahariju, sina Jaazielova, Šemiramota, Jehiela, Unija, Eliaba, Benaju, Maaseju, Matitju, Eliflehua, Mikneju, Obed Edoma i Jeiela, vratare.

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

¹⁹A pjevači, Heman, Asaf i Etan gromko su udarali u mjedene cimbale.

²⁰and Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with stringed instruments set to Alamoth;

²⁰A Zaharija, Uziel, Šemiramot, Jehiel, Uni, Eliab, Maaseja i Benaja u harfe s visokim zvucima;

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

²¹a Matitja, Eliflehu, Mikneja, Obed Edom, Jeiel i Azazja u citre, u osminskoj pratnji.

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

²²Kenanja, knez onih levita koji su nosili Kovčeg, upravljao je prenošenjem jer je bio vješt u tome.

²³Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.

²³Berekja i Elkana bili su vratari kod Kovčega.

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.

²⁴Šebanija, Jošafat, Netanel, Amasaj, Zaharija, Benaja i Eliezer, svećenici, trubili su u trube pred Božjim Kovčegom; Obed Edom i Jehija bili su vratari kod Kovčega.

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.

²⁵Tako je David s izraelskim starješinama i tisućnicima radosno išao prenoseći gore Kovčeg saveza Jahvina iz Obed-Edomove kuće.

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

²⁶Kad je Bog pomogao levitima koji su nosili Kovčeg saveza Jahvina, žrtvovali su sedam junaca i sedam ovnova.

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.

²⁷David bijaše ogrnut plaštem od tanka platna, a tako i svi leviti što su nosili Kovčeg, kao i pjevači i Kenanija koji je upravljao pjevačima. David je imao na sebi lanen oplećak.

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.

²⁸Tako je sav Izrael prenosio gore Kovčeg saveza Jahvina, radosno kličući uz jeku rogova, truba i cimbala, igrajući uza zvuke harfe i citre.

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.

²⁹Kad je Kovčeg saveza Jahvina ulazio u Davidov grad, Šaulova kći Mikala, gledajući s prozora, vidje kralja Davida kako skače i igra i prezre ga ona u svom srcu.
