2 Chronicles 5
1 Thus was perfected, all the work, which Solomon made, for the house of Yahweh, —and Solomon brought in the hallowed things of David his father, the silver, and the gold, and all the utensils, placed he, in the treasuries of the house of God.
Da nu alt det arbeid var ferdig som Salomo lot gjøre for Herrens hus, lot han bære inn der de ting som hans far David hadde helliget til Herren; både sølvet og gullet og alle karene la han ned i skattkammerne i Guds hus.
2 Then, Solomon called together the elders of Israel, and all the chiefs of the tribes, the ancestral leaders of the sons of Israel, unto Jerusalem, —to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh out of the city of David, the same, is Zion.
Så kalte Salomo Israels eldste og alle stammehøvdingene, overhodene for Israels barns familier, sammen til Jerusalem for å føre Herrens pakts-ark op fra Davids stad, det er Sion.
3 And all the men of Israel came together unto the king, in the festival, —the same, was the seventh month.
Og alle Israels menn samlet sig hos kongen på festen i den syvende måned.
4 And all the elders of Israel came in, —and the Levites bare the ark;
Da nu alle Israels eldste var kommet, løftet levittene arken op.
5 and they brought up the ark, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy utensils, that were in the tent, —the priests the Levites did bring them up.
Og de bar arken op og sammenkomstens telt og alle de hellige redskaper som var i teltet; det var de levittiske prester som bar dem op.
6 And, King Solomon, and all the assembly of Israel who assembled themselves unto him, before the ark, were sacrificing sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor could they be counted, for multitude.
Og kong Salomo og hele Israels menighet, som hadde samlet sig hos ham, stod foran arken, og de ofret småfe og storfe i slik mengde at de ikke kunde telles eller regnes.
7 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Yahweh into the place thereof, into the shrine of the house, into the holy of holies, —into [the place] beneath the wings of the cherubim; —
Prestene bar Herrens pakts-ark inn på dens plass i husets kor, i det Aller-helligste, under kjerubenes vinger.
8 for the cherubim were spreading forth two wings, over the place of the ark, —so that the cherubim formed a covering over the ark and over the staves thereof, from above.
For kjerubene bredte sine vinger ut over det sted hvor arken stod, så at kjerubene ovenfra dekket både over arken og dens stenger.
9 And they drew out the staves, and the heads of the staves could be seen out of the ark, in front of the shrine, although they could not be seen on the outside, —and it came to pass that they have remained there—unto this day.
Stengene var så lange at deres ender, som stod frem fra arken, kunde sees foran koret, men ikke utenfor. Og der har den vært til denne dag.
10 There was, nothing in the ark, save only the two tables, which Moses placed [therein] in Horeb, —when Yahweh made a covenant with the sons of Israel, when they came forth out of Egypt.
Det var intet i arken uten de to tavler som Moses hadde lagt ned i den ved Horeb, dengang Herren gjorde pakt med Israels barn da de drog ut av Egypten.
11 And it came to pass, when the priests, came forth, out of the holy place, —for, all the priests who were present, had hallowed themselves, they had no need to observe the courses;
Så skjedde det, at da prestene gikk ut av helligdommen - for alle de prester som var der, hadde helliget sig, så det ikke var mulig å iaktta skiftene -
12 and, the Levites who were the singers, even all of them pertaining to Asaph, to Heman, to Jeduthun, and to their sons and to their brethren, arrayed in white linen, with cymbals and with harps and lyres, stood eastward of the altar, —and, with them, priests to the number of a hundred-and-twenty, blowing with trumpets,
og da alle de levittiske sangere, både Asaf, Heman, Jedutun og deres sønner og deres brødre stod i hvite bomullsklær med cymbler og harper og citarer på østsiden av alteret, og sammen med dem hundre og tyve prester som blåste i trompeter,
13 then came it to pass, when the trumpeters and the singers were, as one, to make one sound to be heard in offering praise and giving thanks unto Yahweh—yea when they did lift on high the voice, with the trumpets and with the cymbals and with the instruments of song, yea in offering praise unto Yahweh—For he is good, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness, that, the house, was filled with the cloud of the glory of Yahweh;
og da trompetblåserne og sangerne alle som en og på en gang stemte i for å love og prise Herren, og de lot trompetene og cymblene og de andre musikkinstrumenter klinge og lovet Herren, fordi han er god, og hans miskunnhet varer evindelig - da blev huset - Herrens hus - fylt av en sky.
14 and the priests could not stand to minister, by reason of the cloud, -for, the glory of Yahweh, filled, the house of God.
Og for skyens skyld kunde prestene ikke bli stående og gjøre tjeneste; for Herrens herlighet fylte Guds hus.
