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.

¹A nadovážil si domov v meste Dávidovom a pripravil miesto truhle Božej a roztiahol pre ňu stán.

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.”

²Vtedy povedal Dávid: Nikto nemá nosiť truhlu Božiu iba Levitovia; lebo ich si vyvolil Hospodin na to, aby nosili truhlu Boha a aby mu svätoslúžili až na veky.

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

³A Dávid shromaždil celého Izraela do Jeruzalema, aby priniesli truhlu Hospodinovu hore na jej miesto, ktoré jej pripravil.

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

⁴A Dávid shromaždil synov Áronových a Levitov.

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

⁵Zo synov Kehátových veliteľ Uriel a jeho bratia sto dvadsiati.

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

⁶Zo synov Meráriho veliteľ Asaiáš a jeho bratia dvesto dvadsiati.

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

⁷Zo synov Geršomových veliteľ Joel a jeho bratia sto tridsiati.

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

⁸Zo synov Elicafánových veliteľ Šemaiáš a jeho bratia počtom dvesto.

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

⁹Zo synov Hebronových veliteľ Eliel a jeho bratia osemdesiati.

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

¹⁰Zo synov Uzielových veliteľ Amminadáb a jeho bratia sto dvanásti.

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

¹¹A Dávid povolal Cádoka a Ebiatára, kňazov, i Levitov: Uriela, Asaiáša, Joela, Šemaiáša, Eliela a Amminadába

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.

¹²a povedal im: Vy ste hlavami otcov Levitov; posväťte sa vy i vaši bratia a preneste truhlu Hospodina, Boha Izraelovho, hore na miesto, ktoré som jej pripravil.

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.”

¹³Lebo preto, že ste tak neurobili vy tam na počiatku, učinil Hospodin, náš Bôh, trhlinu medzi nami, lebo sme ho nehľadali podľa poriadku.

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

¹⁴Vtedy sa posvätili kňazi i Levitovia, aby preniesli hore truhlu Hospodina, Boha Izraelovho.

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.

¹⁵A tedy niesli synovia Levitov truhlu Božiu tak, ako prikázal Mojžiš, podľa slova Hospodinovho, na svojich pleciach, na sochoroch, na sebe.

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.

¹⁶A Dávid riekol veliteľom Levitov, aby postavili svojich bratov spevákov do služby s nástrojami k sprievodu spevu, s citarami, harfami a s cymbalmi, aby dali čuť hudbu a spev pozdvihnúc hlas na radosť.

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;

¹⁷A tak postavili Levitovia Hémana, syna Joelovho, a z jeho bratov Azafa, syna Berechiášovho; a zo synov Meráriho, ich bratov, Étana, syna Kúšaiášovho.

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.

¹⁸A s nimi ich bratov druhého radu: Zachariáša, (Bena) a Jaziela, Šemirámota, Jechiela, Unniho, Eliába, Benaiáša, Maaseiáša, Mattitiáša, Elifleáša, Mikneiáša, Obéd-edoma a Jehiela, vrátnych.

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

¹⁹A speváci Héman, Azaf a Étan, s medenými cymbalmi, boli nato, aby dali čuť hudbu a spev.

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

²⁰Zachariáš, Aziel, Šemirámot, Jechiel, Unni, Eliáb, Maaseiáš a Benaiáš húdli na citary vysokým spevom na spôsob ako devy.

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

²¹Mattitiáš, Elifleáš, Mikneiáš, Obéd-edom, Jehiel a Azaziáš hrali na harfy na ôsmy hlas nízky, aby viedli spev.

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

²²Chenaniáš, veliteľ Levitov, bol nad povznášaním hlasu; vyučoval povznášaniu hlasu, lebo sa rozumel tomu.

²³Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.

²³A Berechiáš a Elkána boli vrátnymi pri truhle.

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.

²⁴Šebaniáš, Jozafat, Natanael, Amazai, Zachariáš, Benaiáš a Eliézer, kňazi, trúbili na trúby pred truhlou Božou, a Obéd-edom a Jechiáš boli tiež vrátnym pri truhle.

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.

²⁵A tak išiel Dávid i starší Izraelovi i velitelia tisícov, aby preniesli truhlu smluvy Hospodinovej z domu Obéd-edoma ta hore s radosťou.

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

²⁶A stalo sa, pretože Bôh pomáhal Levitom, ktorí niesli truhlu smluvy Hospodinovej, že obetovali sedem juncov a sedem baranov.

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.

²⁷A Dávid bol odiaty kmentovým plášťom ako i všetci Levitovia, ktorí niesli truhlu, i speváci i Chenaniáš, veliteľ spevu, speváci, a Dávid mal na sebe ľanový efod.

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.

²⁸A celý Izrael niesli hore truhlu smluvy Hospodinovej s radostným krikom a so zvukom surmy, s trúbami a cymbalmi, hlasite hrajúc na citarách a harfách.

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.

²⁹A stalo sa, keď prišla truhla smluvy Hospodinovej až po mesto Dávidovo, že Míchaľ, dcéra Saulova, hľadela z okna. A keď videla kráľa Dávida, že poskakuje a plesá, pohŕdla ním vo svojom srdci.
