I Chronicles 15

fecit quoque sibi domos in civitate David et aedificavit locum arcae Dei tetenditque ei tabernaculum

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

tunc dixit David inlicitum est ut a quocumque portetur arca Dei nisi a Levitis quos elegit Dominus ad portandum eam et ad ministrandum sibi usque in aeternum

Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites: for them hath the LORD chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister unto him for ever.

congregavitque universum Israhel in Hierusalem ut adferretur arca Dei in locum suum quem praeparaverat ei

And David gathered all Israel together to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD unto his place, which he had prepared for it.

necnon et filios Aaron et Levitas

And David assembled the children of Aaron, and the Levites:

de filiis Caath Urihel princeps fuit et fratres eius centum viginti

Of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twenty:

de filiis Merari Asaia princeps et fratres eius ducenti viginti

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

de filiis Gersom Iohel princeps et fratres eius centum triginta

Of the sons of Gershom; Joel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and thirty:

de filiis Elisaphan Semeias princeps et fratres eius ducenti

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

de filiis Hebron Elihel princeps et fratres eius octoginta

Of the sons of Hebron; Eliel the chief, and his brethren fourscore:

de filiis Ozihel Aminadab princeps et fratres eius centum duodecim

Of the sons of Uzziel; Amminadab the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twelve.

vocavitque David Sadoc et Abiathar sacerdotes et Levitas Urihel Asaiam Iohel Semeiam Elihel et Aminadab

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

et dixit ad eos vos qui estis principes familiarum leviticarum sanctificamini cum fratribus vestris et adferte arcam Domini Dei Israhel ad locum qui ei praeparatus est

And said unto them, Ye are the chief of the fathers of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel unto the place that I have prepared for it.

ne ut a principio quia non eratis praesentes percussit nos Dominus sic et nunc fiat inlicitum quid nobis agentibus

For because ye did it not at the first, the LORD our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order.

sanctificati sunt ergo sacerdotes et Levitae ut portarent arcam Domini Dei Israhel

So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel.

et tulerunt filii Levi arcam Dei sicut praeceperat Moses iuxta verbum Domini umeris suis in vectibus

And the children of the Levites bare the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staves thereon, as Moses commanded according to the word of the LORD.

dixit quoque David principibus Levitarum ut constituerent de fratribus suis cantores in organis musicorum nablis videlicet et lyris et cymbalis ut resonaret in excelsum sonitus laetitiae

And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers with instruments of musick, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy.

constitueruntque Levitas Heman filium Iohel et de fratribus eius Asaph filium Barachiae de filiis vero Merari fratribus eorum Ethan filium Casaiae

So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;

et cum eis fratres eorum in secundo ordine Zacchariam et Ben et Iazihel et Semiramoth et Iahihel et Ani Eliab et Banaiam et Maasiam et Matthathiam et Eliphalu et Macheniam et Obededom et Ieihel ianitores

And with them their brethren of the second degree, 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 porters.

porro cantores Heman Asaph et Ethan in cymbalis aeneis concrepantes

So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were appointed to sound with cymbals of brass;

Zaccharias autem et Ozihel et Semiramoth et Iahihel et Ani et Eliab et Maasias et Banaias in nablis arcana cantabant

And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries on Alamoth;

porro Matthathias et Eliphalu et Machenias et Obededom et Ieihel et Ozaziu in citharis pro octava canebant epinikion

And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obed–edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to excel.

Chonenias autem princeps Levitarum prophetiae praeerat ad praecinendam melodiam erat quippe valde sapiens

And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was for song: he instructed about the song, because he was skilful.

et Barachias et Helcana ianitores arcae

And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.

porro Sebenias et Iosaphat et Nathanahel et Amasai et Zaccharias et Banaias et Eliezer sacerdotes clangebant tubis coram arca Dei et Obededom et Ahias erant ianitores arcae

And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, did blow with the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obed–edom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark.

igitur David et maiores natu Israhel et tribuni ierunt ad deportandam arcam foederis Domini de domo Obededom cum laetitia

So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the house of Obed–edom with joy.

cumque adiuvisset Deus Levitas qui portabant arcam foederis Domini immolabantur septem tauri et septem arietes

And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that they offered seven bullocks and seven rams.

porro David erat indutus stola byssina et universi Levitae qui portabant arcam cantoresque et Chonenias princeps prophetiae inter cantores David autem indutus erat etiam ephod lineo

And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bare the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: David also had upon him an ephod of linen.

universusque Israhel deducebant arcam foederis Domini in iubilo et sonitu bucinae et tubis et cymbalis et nablis et citharis concrepantes

Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise with psalteries and harps.

cumque pervenisset arca foederis Domini usque ad civitatem David Michol filia Saul prospiciens per fenestram vidit regem David saltantem atque ludentem et despexit eum in corde suo

And it came to pass, as the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looking out at a window saw king David dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart.
