I Livro das Crônicas 15

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Davi construiu casas para si na cidade de Davi; preparou um lugar para a arca de Deus e levantou para ela um pavilhão.	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.
2 Disse, então, Davi: A arca de Deus só pode ser carregada por levitas, pois são eles que o Senhor escolheu para carregá-la e para servi-la perpetuamente.	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.”
3 Davi convocou todo o Israel em Jerusalém, para fazer subir a arca do Senhor ao lugar que lhe havia preparado.	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.
4 Reuniu os filhos de Aarão e os levitas:	4 Certainly, there were both the sons of Aaron and the Levites:
5 dos filhos de Caat, Uriel, o chefe, e seus 120 irmãos;	5 From the sons of Kohath, Uriel was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred twenty.
6 dos filhos de Merari, Asaia, o chefe, e seus 220 irmãos;	6 From the sons of Merari: Asaiah was the leader, and his brothers were two hundred twenty.
7 dos filhos de Gerson, Joel, o chefe, e seus 130 irmãos;	7 From the sons of Gershom: Joel was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred thirty.
8 dos filhos de Elisafã, Semeías, o chefe, e seus 200 irmãos;	8 From the sons of Elizaphan: Shemaiah was the leader, and his brothers were two hundred.
9 dos filhos de Hebron, Eliel, o chefe, e seus 80 irmãos;	9 From the sons of Hebron: Eliel was the leader, and his brothers were eighty.
10 dos filhos de Oziel, Aminadab, o chefe, e seus 112 irmãos.	10 From the sons of Uzziel: Amminadab was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred twelve.
11 Davi chamou Sadoc e Abiatar, e os levitas Uriel, Asaías, Joel, Semeías, Eliel e Aminadab,	11 And David summoned the priests, Zadok and Abiathar, and the Levites: Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.
12 e disse-lhes: Vós sois os chefes das famílias levíticas; santificai-vos, vós e vossos irmãos, e fazei subir a arca do Senhor, Deus de Israel, ao lugar que lhe preparei.	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.
13 É porque não fostes vós, que o Senhor, nosso Deus, feriu na primeira vez, pois não a fomos procurar como manda a lei.	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.”
14 Os sacerdotes e levitas santificaram-se, portanto, para fazer subir a arca do Senhor, Deus de Israel.	14 Therefore, the priests and the Levites were sanctified, so that they might carry the ark of the Lord God of Israel.
15 E os filhos de Levi, como o tinha ordenado Moisés, segundo a palavra do Senhor, levaram a arca aos ombros, por meio de varais.	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.
16 Davi disse aos chefes dos levitas que estabelecessem seus irmãos como cantores com instrumentos de música, cítaras, harpas e címbalos, para que sons vibrantes e alegres se fizessem ouvir.	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.
17 Os levitas constituíram Hemã, filho de Joel, e dentre seus irmãos, Asaf, filho de Baraquias; dentre os filhos de Merari, seus irmãos, Etã, filho de Cusaia;	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.
18 e com eles, seus irmãos de segunda ordem; Zacarias, Oziel, Semiramot, Jaiel, Ani, Eliab, Banaías, Maasias, Matatias, Elifalu, Macenias, Obededom e Jeiel, os porteiros.	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.
19 Os cantores, Hemã, Asaf e Etã, tinham címbalos de bronze para faze-los retinir.	19 Now the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were sounding out with cymbals of brass.
20 Zacarias, Oziel, Semiramot, Jaiel, Ani, Eliab, Maasias e Banaías tinham cítaras em soprano.	20 And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah were singing mysteries with the psalteries.
21 Matatias, Elifalu, Macenias, Obededom, Jeiel e Ozaziu tinham harpas na oitava inferior, para conduzir o canto.	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.
22 Conenias, chefe dos levitas para o transporte, dirigia o transporte, pois era entendido nisso.	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.
23 Baraquias e Elcana eram porteiros da arca.	23 And Berechiah and Elkanah were porters of the ark.
24 Os sacerdotes Sebenias, Josafá, Natanael, Amasaí, Zacarias, Banaias e Eliezer tocavam trombetas diante da arca de Deus. Obededom e Jeías eram porteiros da 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.
25 Davi, os anciãos de Israel e os chefes de mil foram para retirar da casa de Obededom a arca da aliança do Senhor, e para transportá-la no meio de regozijo.	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.
26 Foi com a assistência de Deus que os levitas transportaram a arca da aliança do Senhor; e foram sacrificados sete touros e sete carneiros.	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.
27 Davi estava revestido de um manto de linho fino, e da mesma forma todos os levitas que transportavam a arca, os cantores e Conenias que dirigia o transporte da arca entre os cantores. Davi estava ainda revestido de um efod de linho.	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.
28 Todo o Israel, ao fazer subir a arca da aliança do Senhor, soltava brados de júbilo, ressoando trombetas, trompas e címbalos, retinindo cítaras e harpas.	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.
29 Quando a arca da aliança do Senhor entrava na cidade de Davi, Micol, filha de Saul, que olhava pela janela, viu que o rei saltava e dançava, e desprezou-o no seu coração.	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.
