1 Chronicles 15

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	EL LIBRO DEL PUEBLO DE DIOS
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 David construyó casas en la Ciudad de David y preparó un lugar para el Arca de Dios, levantando para ella una Carpa.
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 Después dijo: «El Arca de Dios sólo puede ser transportada por los levitas, porque el Señor los ha elegido para trasladar el Arca del Señor y para servirlo constantemente».
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 Entonces David reunió en Jerusalén a todo Israel, para hacer subir el Arca del Señor al lugar que le había preparado.
4 Certainly, there were both the sons of Aaron and the Levites:	4 También reunió a los hijos de Aarón y a los levitas:
5 From the sons of Kohath, Uriel was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred twenty.	5 de los descendientes de Quehat, a Uriel, el jefe, y a sus hermanos: ciento veinte en total;
6 From the sons of Merari: Asaiah was the leader, and his brothers were two hundred twenty.	6 de los de Merarí, a Asaías, el jefe, y a sus hermanos: doscientos veinte en total;
7 From the sons of Gershom: Joel was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred thirty.	7 de los de Gersón, a Joel, el jefe, y a sus hermanos: ciento treinta en total;
8 From the sons of Elizaphan: Shemaiah was the leader, and his brothers were two hundred.	8 de los hijos de Elisafán, a Semaías, el jefe, y a sus hermanos: doscientos en total;
9 From the sons of Hebron: Eliel was the leader, and his brothers were eighty.	9 de los de Hebrón, a Eliel, el jefe, y a sus hermanos: ochenta en total;
10 From the sons of Uzziel: Amminadab was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred twelve.	10 de los descendientes de Uziel, a Aminadab, el jefe, y a sus hermanos: ciento doce en total.
11 And David summoned the priests, Zadok and Abiathar, and the Levites: Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.	11 Después David llamó a los sacerdotes Sadoc y Abiatar, y a los levitas Uriel, Asaías, Joel, Semaías, Eliel y 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 y les dijo: «Ustedes son los jefes de la familia de los levitas. Santifíquense, ustedes y sus hermanos, para subir el Arca del Señor, el Dios de Israel, al lugar que yo le he preparado.
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 Por no haber estado ustedes allí la primera vez, el Señor, nuestro Dios, acometió contra nosotros, ya que no fuimos a consultarlo como está mandado».
14 Therefore, the priests and the Levites were sanctified, so that they might carry the ark of the Lord God of Israel.	14 Entonces los sacerdotes y levitas se santificaron para subir el Arca del Señor, el Dios de 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 Los hijos de los levitas trasladaron el Arca de Dios, sosteniéndola sobre sus hombros con unas andas, como lo había ordenado Moisés según la palabra del Señor.
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 David ordenó a los jefes de los levitas que organizaran a sus hermanos los cantores, con instrumentos musicales, arpas, cítaras y címbalos, para que los hicieran resonar alegremente.
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 Los levitas designaron a Hemán, hijo de Joel; entre sus hermanos, a Asaf, hijo de Berequías; y entre los hijos de Merarí, sus hermanos, a Etán, hijo de Cusaías.
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 Junto con ellos, a sus hermanos de segundo orden: Zacarías, hijo de Iaaziel, Semiramot, Iejiel, Uní, Eliab, Benaías, Maaseías, Matitías, Eliflehú, Micneías, Obededóm y Ieiel, los porteros.
19 Now the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were sounding out with cymbals of brass.	19 Los cantores Hemán, Asaf y Etán hacían resonar címbalos de bronce.
20 And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah were singing mysteries with the psalteries.	20 Zacarías, Aziel, Semiramot, Iejiel, Uní, Eliab, Maasías y Benaías tenían arpas de tonos altos.
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 Matitías, Eliflehú, Micneías, Obededóm, Ieiel y Azazaiás tenían cítaras de octava, para dirigir el canto.
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 Quenanías, jefe de los levitas, dirigía el traslado, porque era muy experto.
23 And Berechiah and Elkanah were porters of the ark.	23 Berequías y Elcaná eran porteros del 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 Los sacerdotes Sebanías, Josafat, Natanael, Amasai, Zacarías, Benaías y Eliezer, tocaban las trompetas delante del Arca de Dios. Obededóm y Iejías eran porteros del 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 David, los ancianos de Israel y los jefes de mil hombres fueron con gran alegría a subir el Arca de la Alianza del Señor, desde la casa de Obededom.
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 Y porque Dios había asistido a los levitas que trasladaban el Arca de la Alianza del Señor, se inmolaron siete toros y siete carneros.
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 David iba revestido con un manto de lino, lo mismo que todos los levitas que llevaban el Arca, los cantores y Quenanías, el que dirigía el traslado. David llevaba además un efod de lino.
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 Todo Israel subió el Arca de la Alianza del Señor entre aclamaciones y al son de cuernos, trompetas, címbalos, arpas y cítaras.
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 Cuando el Arca de la Alianza del Señor entraba en la Ciudad de David, Mical, la hija de Saúl, estaba mirando por una ventana, y al ver al rey David saltando y bailando, lo despreció en su corazón.
