Anden Krønikebog 5

1 Saa blev alt Arbejdet færdigt, som Salomo lod gøre til Herrens Hus; og Salomo førte det ind, som David, hans Fader, havde helliget, og Sølvet og Guldet og alle Redskaberne lagde han i Guds Hus's Skatkammer.

Thus all the work that Solomon did for the LORD’s house was finished. Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated, even the silver, the gold, and all the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of God’s house.

2 Da samlede Salomo til Jerusalem de Ældste i Israel og alle Stammernes Øverster, Fyrster for Fædrenehusene iblandt Israels Børn, for at føre Herrens Pagts Ark op fra Davids Stad, det er Zion.

Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers’ households of the children of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD’s covenant out of David’s city, which is Zion.

3 Og alle Israels Mænd samledes til Kongen paa Højtiden, det er, i den syvende Maaned.

So all the men of Israel assembled themselves to the king at the feast, which was in the seventh month.

4 Og alle Israels Ældste kom, og Leviterne bare Arken.

All the elders of Israel came. The Levites took up the ark.

5 Og de førte Arken op tillige med Forsamlingens Paulun og alle de hellige Redskaber, som vare i Paulunet; Præsterne, Leviterne, førte dem op.

They brought up the ark, the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent. The Levitical priests brought these up.

6 Men Kong Salomo og al Israels Menighed, de, som vare samlede om ham foran Arken, ofrede smaat Kvæg og stort Kvæg, som ikke kunde tælles eller regnes for Mangfoldighed.

King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled to him were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.

7 Saa førte Præsterne Herrens Pagts Ark til dens Sted, ind i Koret udi Huset i det Allerhelligste, hen under Kerubernes Vinger.

The priests brought in the ark of the LORD’s covenant to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.

8 Og Keruberne udbredte Vingerne over Arkens Sted, og Keruberne dækkede over Arken og over dens Stænger oventil.

For the cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.

9 Og man drog Stængerne langt ud, saa at man saa Knapperne paa Arkens Stænger lige for Koret, men udentil saa man dem ikke; og den blev der indtil denne Dag.

The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the ark in front of the inner sanctuary, but they were not seen outside; and it is there to this day.

10 Der var intet i Arken uden de to Tavler, som Mose lagde deri ved Horeb, der Herren gjorde Pagt med Israels Børn, der de droge ud af Ægypten.

There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.

11 Og det skete, der Præsterne gik ud af det Hellige (thi alle Præster, som fandtes, havde helliget sig, saa at de ikke holdt sig efter Skifterne;

When the priests had come out of the holy place (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, and didn’t keep their divisions;

12 og Leviterne, Sangerne, alle sam men, baade Asaf, Heman og Jeduthun og deres Børn og deres Brødre, iførte kosteligt Linklæde, med Cymbler og med Psaltre og Harper, stode Østen ved Alteret og hos dem hundrede og tyve Præster, som blæste i Basunerne);

also the Levites who were the singers, all of them, even Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and their brothers, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals and stringed instruments and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them one hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets);

13 ja det skete, der de som een Mand blæste i Basuner og sang for enstemmigt at lade sig høre med Lov og Tak til Herren, og der de opløftede Røsten med Basuner og med Cymbler og med andre Sanginstrumenter, og der de lovede Herren, at han er god, og hans Miskundhed er evindelig: Da blev Huset i Herrens Hus fyldt med en Sky.

when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD, saying, “For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever!” then the house was filled with a cloud, even the LORD’s house,

14 Og Præsterne kunde ikke staa og gøre Tjeneste for Skyen; thi Herrens Herlighed fyldte Guds Hus.

so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for the LORD’s glory filled God’s house.
