CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NOVA VULGATA
1 Also, he made houses for himself in the City of David. And built a place for the ark of God, and he set up a tent for it.	1 Fecit quoque sibi domos in civitate David et praeparavit locum arcae Dei tetenditque ei tabernaculum.
2 Then David said: “It is illicit for anyone to carry the ark of God except the Levites, whom the Lord chose to carry it and to minister to himself, even unto eternity.”	2 Tunc dixit David: “ Illicitum est, ut a quocumque portetur arca Dei, nisi a Levitis, quos elegit Dominus ad portandum eam et ad ministrandum sibi usque in aeternum ”.
3 And he gathered all of Israel in Jerusalem, so that the ark of God might be brought into its place, which he had prepared for it.	3 Congregavitque David universum Israel in Ierusalem, ut afferretur arca Domini in locum suum, quem praeparaverat ei;
4 Certainly, there were both the sons of Aaron and the Levites:	4 necnon et filios Aaron et Levitas.
5 From the sons of Kohath, Uriel was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred twenty.	5 De filiis Caath Uriel princeps fuit et fratres eius centum viginti;
6 From the sons of Merari: Asaiah was the leader, and his brothers were two hundred twenty.	6 de filiis Merari Asaia princeps et fratres eius ducenti viginti;
7 From the sons of Gershom: Joel was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred thirty.	7 de filiis Gerson Ioel princeps et fratres eius centum triginta;
8 From the sons of Elizaphan: Shemaiah was the leader, and his brothers were two hundred.	8 de filiis Elisaphan Semeias princeps et fratres eius ducenti;
9 From the sons of Hebron: Eliel was the leader, and his brothers were eighty.	9 de filiis Hebron Eliel princeps et fratres eius octoginta;
10 From the sons of Uzziel: Amminadab was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred twelve.	10 de filiis Oziel Aminadab princeps et fratres eius centum duodecim.
11 And David summoned the priests, Zadok and Abiathar, and the Levites: Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.	11 Vocavitque David Sadoc et Abiathar sacerdotes et Levitas Uriel, Asaiam, Ioel, Semeiam, Eliel et Aminadab
12 And he said to them: “You who are the leaders of the Levitical families, be sanctified with your brothers, and bring the ark of the Lord God of Israel to the place that has been prepared for it.	12 et dixit ad eos: “ Vos, qui estis principes familiarum Leviticarum, sanctificamini cum fratribus vestris et afferte arcam Domini, Dei Israel, ad locum, quem praeparavi.
13 Otherwise, as it was before, when the Lord struck us because you were not present, so also it might be now, if we do what is illicit.”	13 Quia a principio non eratis praesentes, fecit Dominus, Deus Israel, diruptionem in nobis; non enim quaesivimus eum, sicut fas erat ”.
14 Therefore, the priests and the Levites were sanctified, so that they might carry the ark of the Lord God of Israel.	14 Sanctificati sunt ergo sacerdotes et Levitae, ut portarent arcam Domini, Dei Israel;
15 And the sons of Levi took the ark of God, just as Moses had instructed, in accord with the word of the Lord, upon their shoulders by the bars.	15 et tulerunt filii Levi arcam Dei, sicut praeceperat Moyses iuxta verbum Domini, umeris suis in vectibus.
16 And David spoke to the leaders of the Levites, so that they might appoint, from their brothers, singers with musical instruments, specifically, psalteries, and harps, and cymbals, so that a joyful noise might resound on high.	16 Dixitque David principibus Levitarum, ut constituerent de fratribus suis cantores in organis musicorum, nablis videlicet et lyris et cymbalis, ut resonaret fortiter sonitus laetitiae.
17 And they appointed from the Levites: Heman, the son of Joel; and from his brothers, Asaph, the son of Berechiah; and truly, from their brothers, the sons of Merari: Ethan, the son of Kushaiah.	17 Constitueruntque Levitae Heman filium Ioel et de fratribus eius Asaph filium Barachiae, de filiis vero Merari fratribus eorum Ethan filium Casaiae
18 And with them were their brothers in the second rank: Zechariah, and Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jahiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, who were gatekeepers.	18 et cum eis fratres eorum in secundo ordine Zachariam et Bani et Iaziel et Semiramoth et Iahiel et Ani, Eliab et Banaiam et Maasiam et Matthathiam et Eliphalu et Maceniam et Obededom et Iehiel ianitores.
19 Now the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were sounding out with cymbals of brass.	19 Porro cantores Heman, Asaph et Ethan in cymbalis aeneis bene sonantibus,
20 And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah were singing mysteries with the psalteries.	20 Zacharias autem et Oziel et Semiramoth et Iahiel et Ani et Eliab et Maasias et Banaias in nablis secundum “ Virgines ”.
21 Then Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah and Obededom, and Jeiel and Azaziah were singing a song of victory with the harps, for the octave.	21 Porro Matthathias et Eliphalu et Macenias et Obededom et Iehiel et Ozaziu in citharis super octavam, ut dirigerent;
22 Now Chenaniah, the leader of the Levites, was foremost over the prophecies, in order to mark out in advance the melodies. For indeed, he was very skillful.	22 Chonenias autem princeps Levitarum portantium arcam praeerat ad portandum, erat quippe valde sapiens.
23 And Berechiah and Elkanah were porters of the ark.	23 Et Barachias et Elcana ianitores pro arca.
24 And the priests, Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethanel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, were sounding the trumpets before the ark of God. And Obededom and Jehiah were porters of the ark.	24 Porro Sebania et Iosaphat et Nathanael et Amasai et Zacharias et Banaias et Eliezer sacerdotes clangebant tubis coram arca Dei, et Obededom et Iehias erant ianitores pro arca.
25 Therefore, David, and all those greater by birth of Israel, and the tribunes, went to carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord from the house of Obededom with rejoicing.	25 Igitur David et maiores natu Israel et tribuni ierunt ad deportandam arcam foederis Domini de domo Obededom cum laetitia.
26 And when God had assisted the Levites, who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord, they immolated seven bulls and seven rams.	26 Cumque adiuvisset Deus Levitas, qui portabant arcam foederis Domini, immolati sunt septem tauri et septem arietes.
27 Now David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, as were all the Levites who were carrying the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah, the leader of the prophecy among the singers. But David was also clothed with a linen ephod.	27 Porro David indutus pallio byssino et universi Levitae, qui portabant arcam, cantoresque et Chonenias princeps pro portanda arca — David autem indutus erat etiam ephod lineo —
28 And all of Israel were leading back the ark of the covenant of the Lord with jubilation, sounding out with the noise of horns, and trumpets, and cymbals, and psalteries, and harps.	28 universusque Israel deducebant arcam foederis Domini in iubilo et sonitu bucinae et tubis et cymbalis bene sonantibus et nablis et citharis.
29 And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord had arrived in the City of David, Michal, the daughter of Saul, gazing through a window, saw king David dancing and playing, and she despised him in her heart.	29 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.
