I Paralipomenon 15-16
Biblia Sacra Vulgata
15 Fecit quoque sibi domos in civitate David: et aedificavit locum arcae Dei, tetenditque ei tabernaculum.
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 Congregavitque universum Israel in Jerusalem, ut afferretur arca Dei in locum suum, quem praeparaverat ei:
4 necnon et filios Aaron, et Levitas.
5 De filiis Caath, Uriel princeps fuit, et fratres ejus centum viginti.
6 De filiis Merari, Asaia princeps: et fratres ejus ducenti viginti.
7 De filiis Gersom, Joel princeps: et fratres ejus centum triginta.
8 De filiis Elisaphan, Semeias princeps: et fratres ejus ducenti.
9 De filiis Hebron, Eliel princeps: et fratres ejus octoginta.
10 De filiis Oziel, Aminadab princeps: et fratres ejus centum duodecim.
11 Vocavitque David Sadoc et Abiathar sacerdotes, et Levitas, Uriel, Asaiam, Joel, Semeiam, Eliel, et Aminadab:
12 et dixit ad eos: Vos, qui estis principes familiarum Leviticarum, sanctificamini cum fratribus vestris, et afferte arcam Domini Dei Israel ad locum qui ei praeparatus est:
13 ne ut a principio, quia non eratis praesentes, percussit nos Dominus; sic et nunc fiat, illicitum quid nobis agentibus.
14 Sanctificati sunt ergo sacerdotes et Levitae ut portarent arcam Domini Dei Israel.
15 Et tulerunt filii Levi arcam Dei, sicut praeceperat Moyses juxta verbum Domini, humeris suis in vectibus.
16 Dixitque David principibus Levitarum, ut constituerent de fratribus suis cantores in organis musicorum, nablis videlicet, et lyris, et cymbalis, ut resonaret in excelsis sonitus laetitiae.
17 Constitueruntque Levitas: Heman filium Joel, et de fratribus ejus Asaph filium Barachiae: de filiis vero Merari, fratribus eorum: Ethan filium Casaiae.
18 Et cum eis fratres eorum: in secundo ordine, Zachariam, et Ben, et Jaziel, et Semiramoth, et Jahiel, et Ani, Eliab, et Banaiam, et Maasiam, et Mathathiam, et Eliphalu, et Maceniam, et Obededom, et Jehiel, janitores.
19 Porro cantores, Heman, Asaph, et Ethan, in cymbalis aeneis concrepantes.
20 Zacharias autem, et Oziel, et Semiramoth, et Jahiel, et Ani, et Eliab, et Maasias, et Banaias in nablis arcana cantabant.
21 Porro Mathathias, et Eliphalu, et Macenias, et Obededom, et Jehiel, et Ozaziu, in citharis pro octava canebant epinicion.
22 Chonenias autem princeps Levitarum, prophetiae praeerat, ad praecinendam melodiam: erat quippe valde sapiens.
23 Et Barachias, et Elcana, janitores arcae.
24 Porro Sebenias, et Josaphat, et Nathanael, et Amasai, et Zacharias, et Banaias, et Eliezer sacerdotes, clangebant tubis coram arca Dei: et Obededom et Jehias erant janitores arcae.
25 Igitur David, et omnes majores natu Israel, et tribuni, ierunt ad deportandam arcam foederis Domini de domo Obededom cum laetitia.
26 Cumque adjuvisset Deus Levitas qui portabant arcam foederis Domini, immolabantur septem tauri, et septem arietes.
27 Porro David erat indutus stola byssina, et universi Levitae qui portabant arcam, cantoresque, et Chonenias princeps prophetiae inter cantores: David autem etiam indutus erat ephod lineo.
28 Universusque Israel deducebant arcam foederis Domini in jubilo, et sonitu buccinae, et tubis, et cymbalis, et nablis, et citharis concrepantes.
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.
16 Attulerunt igitur arcam Dei, et constituerunt eam in medio tabernaculi quod tetenderat ei David: et obtulerunt holocausta et pacifica coram Deo.
2 Cumque complesset David offerens holocausta et pacifica, benedixit populo in nomine Domini.
3 Et divisit universis per singulos, a viro usque ad mulierem, tortam panis, et partem assae carnis bubalae, et frixam oleo similam.
4 Constituitque coram arca Domini de Levitis, qui ministrarent, et recordarentur operum ejus, et glorificarent atque laudarent Dominum Deum Israel:
5 Asaph principem, et secundum ejus Zachariam: porro Jahiel, et Semiramoth, et Jehiel, et Mathathiam, et Eliab, et Banaiam, et Obededom: Jehiel super organa psalterii et lyras: Asaph autem ut cymbalis personaret:
6 Banaiam vero et Jaziel sacerdotes canere tuba jugiter coram arca foederis Domini.
7 In illo die fecit David principem ad confitendum Domino Asaph et fratres ejus:
8 Confitemini Domino, et invocate nomen ejus: notas facite in populis adinventiones ejus.
9 Cantate ei, et psallite ei, et narrate omnia mirabilia ejus.
10 Laudate nomen sanctum ejus: laetetur cor quaerentium Dominum.
11 Quaerite Dominum, et virtutem ejus: quaerite faciem ejus semper.
12 Recordamini mirabilium ejus quae fecit; signorum illius, et judiciorum oris ejus,
13 semen Israel servi ejus, filii Jacob electi ejus.
14 Ipse Dominus Deus noster: in universa terra judicia ejus.
15 Recordamini in sempiternum pacti ejus: sermonis quem praecepit in mille generationes,
16 quem pepigit cum Abraham, et juramenti illius cum Isaac.
17 Et constituit illud Jacob in praeceptum, et Israel in pactum sempiternum,
18 dicens: Tibi dabo terram Chanaan, funiculum haereditatis vestrae:
19 cum essent pauci numero, parvi et coloni ejus.
20 Et transierunt de gente in gentem, et de regno ad populum alterum.
21 Non dimisit quemquam calumniari eos, sed increpavit pro eis reges.
22 Nolite tangere christos meos, et in prophetis meis nolite malignari.
23 Cantate Domino omnis terra; annuntiate ex die in diem salutare ejus:
24 narrate in gentibus gloriam ejus; in cunctis populis mirabilia ejus.
25 Quia magnus Dominus, et laudabilis nimis, et horribilis super omnes deos.
26 Omnes enim dii populorum idola: Dominus autem caelos fecit.
27 Confessio et magnificentia coram eo: fortitudo et gaudium in loco ejus.
28 Afferte Domino, familiae populorum: afferte Domino gloriam et imperium.
29 Date Domino gloriam; nomini ejus levate sacrificium, et venite in conspectu ejus: et adorate Dominum in decore sancto.
30 Commoveatur a facie ejus omnis terra: ipse enim fundavit orbem immobilem.
31 Laetentur caeli, et exultet terra, et dicant in nationibus: Dominus regnavit.
32 Tonet mare et plenitudo ejus; exultent agri, et omnia quae in eis sunt.
33 Tunc laudabunt ligna saltus coram Domino: quia venit judicare terram.
34 Confitemini Domino, quoniam bonus: quoniam in aeternum misericordia ejus.
35 Et dicite: Salva nos, Deus salvator noster, et congrega nos, et erue de gentibus: ut confiteamur nomini sancto tuo, et exultemus in carminibus tuis.
36 Benedictus Dominus Deus Israel, ab aeterno usque in aeternum. Et dicat omnis populo: Amen, et hymnum Domino.
37 Reliquit itaque ibi coram arca foederis Domini Asaph et fratres ejus, ut ministrarent in conspectu arcae jugiter per singulos dies, et vices suas.
38 Porro Obededom, et fratres ejus sexaginta octo: et Obededom filium Idithun, et Hosa, constituit janitores;
39 Sadoc autem sacerdotem, et fratres ejus sacerdotes, coram tabernaculo Domini in excelso quod erat in Gabaon,
40 ut offerrent holocausta Domino super altare holocautomatis jugiter, mane et vespere, juxta omnia quae scripta sunt in lege Domini, quam praecepit Israeli.
41 Et post eum Heman, et Idithun, et reliquos electos, unumquemque vocabulo suo ad confitendum Domino, quoniam in aeternum misericordia ejus.
42 Heman quoque et Idithun canentes tuba, et quatientes cymbala et omnia musicorum organa ad canendum Deo: filios autem Idithun fecit esse portarios.
43 Reversusque est omnis populus in domum suam: et David, ut benediceret etiam domui suae.

1 Chronicles 15-16
New International Version
The Ark Brought to Jerusalem(A)
15 After David had constructed buildings for himself in the City of David, he prepared(B) a place for the ark of God and pitched(C) a tent for it. 2 Then David said, “No one but the Levites(D) may carry(E) the ark of God, because the Lord chose them to carry the ark of the Lord and to minister(F) before him forever.”
3 David assembled all Israel(G) in Jerusalem to bring up the ark of the Lord to the place he had prepared for it. 4 He called together the descendants of Aaron and the Levites:(H)
5 From the descendants of Kohath,
Uriel(I) the leader and 120 relatives;
6 from the descendants of Merari,
Asaiah the leader and 220 relatives;
7 from the descendants of Gershon,[a]
Joel the leader and 130 relatives;
8 from the descendants of Elizaphan,(J)
Shemaiah the leader and 200 relatives;
9 from the descendants of Hebron,(K)
Eliel the leader and 80 relatives;
10 from the descendants of Uzziel,
Amminadab the leader and 112 relatives.
11 Then David summoned Zadok(L) and Abiathar(M) the priests, and Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel and Amminadab the Levites. 12 He said to them, “You are the heads of the Levitical families; you and your fellow Levites are to consecrate(N) yourselves and bring up the ark of the Lord, the God of Israel, to the place I have prepared for it. 13 It was because you, the Levites,(O) did not bring it up the first time that the Lord our God broke out in anger against us.(P) We did not inquire of him about how to do it in the prescribed way.(Q)” 14 So the priests and Levites consecrated themselves in order to bring up the ark of the Lord, the God of Israel. 15 And the Levites carried the ark of God with the poles on their shoulders, as Moses had commanded(R) in accordance with the word of the Lord.(S)
16 David(T) told the leaders of the Levites(U) to appoint their fellow Levites as musicians(V) to make a joyful sound with musical instruments: lyres, harps and cymbals.(W)
17 So the Levites appointed Heman(X) son of Joel; from his relatives, Asaph(Y) son of Berekiah; and from their relatives the Merarites,(Z) Ethan son of Kushaiah; 18 and with them their relatives next in rank: Zechariah,[b] Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom(AA) and Jeiel,[c] the gatekeepers.
19 The musicians Heman,(AB) Asaph and Ethan were to sound the bronze cymbals; 20 Zechariah, Jaaziel,[d] Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah and Benaiah were to play the lyres according to alamoth,[e] 21 and Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, Jeiel and Azaziah were to play the harps, directing according to sheminith.[f] 22 Kenaniah the head Levite was in charge of the singing; that was his responsibility because he was skillful at it.
23 Berekiah and Elkanah were to be doorkeepers for the ark. 24 Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah and Eliezer the priests were to blow trumpets(AC) before the ark of God. Obed-Edom and Jehiah were also to be doorkeepers for the ark.
25 So David and the elders of Israel and the commanders of units of a thousand went to bring up the ark(AD) of the covenant of the Lord from the house of Obed-Edom, with rejoicing. 26 Because God had helped the Levites who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord, seven bulls and seven rams(AE) were sacrificed. 27 Now David was clothed in a robe of fine linen, as were all the Levites who were carrying the ark, and as were the musicians, and Kenaniah, who was in charge of the singing of the choirs. David also wore a linen ephod.(AF) 28 So all Israel(AG) brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouts,(AH) with the sounding of rams’ horns(AI) and trumpets, and of cymbals, and the playing of lyres and harps.
29 As the ark of the covenant of the Lord was entering the City of David, Michal daughter of Saul watched from a window. And when she saw King David dancing and celebrating, she despised him in her heart.
Ministering Before the Ark(AJ)(AK)(AL)
16 They brought the ark of God and set it inside the tent that David had pitched(AM) for it, and they presented burnt offerings and fellowship offerings before God. 2 After David had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, he blessed(AN) the people in the name of the Lord. 3 Then he gave a loaf of bread, a cake of dates and a cake of raisins(AO) to each Israelite man and woman.
4 He appointed some of the Levites to minister(AP) before the ark of the Lord, to extol,[g] thank, and praise the Lord, the God of Israel: 5 Asaph was the chief, and next to him in rank were Zechariah, then Jaaziel,[h] Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-Edom and Jeiel. They were to play the lyres and harps, Asaph was to sound the cymbals, 6 and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests were to blow the trumpets regularly before the ark of the covenant of God.
7 That day David first appointed Asaph and his associates to give praise(AQ) to the Lord in this manner:
8 Give praise(AR) to the Lord, proclaim his name;
make known among the nations(AS) what he has done.
9 Sing to him, sing praise(AT) to him;
tell of all his wonderful acts.
10 Glory in his holy name;(AU)
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
11 Look to the Lord and his strength;
seek(AV) his face always.
12 Remember(AW) the wonders(AX) he has done,
his miracles,(AY) and the judgments he pronounced,
13 you his servants, the descendants of Israel,
his chosen ones, the children of Jacob.
14 He is the Lord our God;
his judgments(AZ) are in all the earth.
15 He remembers[i](BA) his covenant forever,
the promise he made, for a thousand generations,
16 the covenant(BB) he made with Abraham,
the oath he swore to Isaac.
17 He confirmed it to Jacob(BC) as a decree,
to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
18 “To you I will give the land of Canaan(BD)
as the portion you will inherit.”
19 When they were but few in number,(BE)
few indeed, and strangers in it,
20 they[j] wandered(BF) from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another.
21 He allowed no one to oppress them;
for their sake he rebuked kings:(BG)
22 “Do not touch my anointed ones;
do my prophets(BH) no harm.”
23 Sing to the Lord, all the earth;
proclaim his salvation day after day.
24 Declare his glory(BI) among the nations,
his marvelous deeds among all peoples.
25 For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;(BJ)
he is to be feared(BK) above all gods.(BL)
26 For all the gods of the nations are idols,
but the Lord made the heavens.(BM)
27 Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and joy are in his dwelling place.
28 Ascribe to the Lord, all you families of nations,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.(BN)
29 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;(BO)
bring an offering and come before him.
Worship the Lord in the splendor of his[k] holiness.(BP)
30 Tremble(BQ) before him, all the earth!
The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved.(BR)
31 Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;(BS)
let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!(BT)”
32 Let the sea resound, and all that is in it;(BU)
let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them!
33 Let the trees(BV) of the forest sing,
let them sing for joy before the Lord,
for he comes to judge(BW) the earth.
34 Give thanks(BX) to the Lord, for he is good;(BY)
his love endures forever.(BZ)
35 Cry out, “Save us, God our Savior;(CA)
gather us and deliver us from the nations,
that we may give thanks to your holy name,
and glory in your praise.”
36 Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel,(CB)
from everlasting to everlasting.
Then all the people said “Amen” and “Praise the Lord.”
37 David left Asaph and his associates before the ark of the covenant of the Lord to minister there regularly, according to each day’s requirements.(CC) 38 He also left Obed-Edom(CD) and his sixty-eight associates to minister with them. Obed-Edom son of Jeduthun, and also Hosah,(CE) were gatekeepers.
39 David left Zadok(CF) the priest and his fellow priests before the tabernacle of the Lord at the high place in Gibeon(CG) 40 to present burnt offerings to the Lord on the altar of burnt offering regularly, morning and evening, in accordance with everything written in the Law(CH) of the Lord, which he had given Israel. 41 With them were Heman(CI) and Jeduthun and the rest of those chosen and designated by name to give thanks to the Lord, “for his love endures forever.” 42 Heman and Jeduthun were responsible for the sounding of the trumpets and cymbals and for the playing of the other instruments for sacred song.(CJ) The sons of Jeduthun(CK) were stationed at the gate.
43 Then all the people left, each for their own home, and David returned home to bless his family.
