BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Introdujeron el arca de Dios y la colocaron en medio de la Tienda que David había hecho levantar para ella; y ofrecieron ante Dios holocaustos y sacrificios de comunión.	1 And so they took the ark of God, and they set it in the midst of the tabernacle, which David had pitched for it. And they offered holocausts and peace offerings before God.
2 Cuando David hubo acabado de ofrecer los holocaustos y los sacrificios de comunión, bendijo al pueblo en nombre de Yahveh,	2 And when David had completed offering holocausts and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord.
3 y repartió a todo el pueblo de Israel, hombres y mujeres, a cada uno una torta de pan, un pastel de dátiles y un pastel de pasas.	3 And he divided to every single one, from men even to women, a twist of bread, and a piece of roasted beef, and fine wheat flour fried with oil.
4 David estableció los levitas que habían de hacer el servicio delante del arca de Yahveh, celebrando, glorificando y alabando a Yahveh, el Dios de Israel.	4 And he appointed some from the Levites who would minister before the ark of the Lord, and commemorate his works, and glorify and praise the Lord, the God of Israel.
5 Asaf era el jefe; Zacarías era el segundo; luego Uzziel, Semiramot, Yejiel, Mattitías, Eliab, Benaías, Obededom y Yeiel, con salterios y cítaras. Asaf hacía sonar los címbalos.	5 Asaph was the leader, and second to him was Zechariah. In addition, there were Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obededom. And Jeiel was over the instruments of the psaltery and the harps. But Asaph sounded out with the cymbals.
6 Los sacerdotes Benaáis y Yajaziel tocaban sin interrupción las trompetas delante del arca de la alianza de Dios.	6 Truly, the priests, Benaiah and Jahaziel, were to sound the trumpet continually before the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
7 Aquel día David, alabando el primero a Yahveh, entregó a Asaf y a sus hermanos este canto:	7 In that day, David made Asaph the leader, in order to confess to the Lord with his brothers:
8 ¡Dad gracias a Yahveh, aclamad su nombre, divulgad entre los pueblos sus hazañas!	8 “Confess to the Lord, and invoke his name. Make known his endeavors among the peoples.

37 David dejó allí, ante el arca de la alianza de Yahveh, a Asaf y a sus hermanos, para el ministerio continuo delante del arca, según el rito de cada día;	37 And so, there before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, he left Asaph and his brothers, so that they might minister in the sight of the ark continually, throughout each day, and in their turns.
38 y a Obededom, con sus hermanos, en número de 68, y a Obededom, hijo de Yedutún, y a Josá, como porteros;	38 Now Obededom and his brothers were sixty-eight. And he appointed Obededom, the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah to be porters.
39 y el sacerdote Sadoq y a sus hermanos, los sacerdotes, delante de la Morada de Yahveh, en el alto de Gabaón,	39 But Zadok the priest, and his brothers the priests, were before the tabernacle of the Lord in the high place, which was in Gibeon,
40 para que ofreciesen continuamente holocaustos a Yahveh en el altar de los holocaustos, por la mañana y por la tarde, según todo lo escrito en la Ley que Yahveh había mandado a Israel.	40 so that they could offer holocausts to the Lord upon the altar of holocausts continually, morning and evening, according to all that was written in the law of the Lord, which he instructed to Israel.
41 Con ellos estaban Hemán y Yedutún y los restantes escogidos y nominalmente designados para alabar a Yahveh: «Porque es eterno su amor».	41 And after him, Heman, and Jeduthun, and the remainder of the elect, each one by his name, were appointed to confess to the Lord: “For his mercy endures forever.”

Los hijos de Yedutún eran porteros.	42 Also Heman and Jeduthun sounded the trumpet, and they played upon the cymbals, and upon every kind of musical instrument, in order to sing praises to God.
