歴代誌Ⅱ 5
1 こうしてソロモンは主の宮のためにしたすべての工事を終った。そしてソロモンは父ダビデがささげた物、すなわち金銀およびもろもろの器物を携えて行って神の宮の宝蔵に納めた。
So all the work which Solomon did for the house of the Lord was complete. And Solomon took the holy things which David his father had given, the silver and the gold and all the vessels, and put them in the store-houses of the house of God.
2 ソロモンは主の契約の箱をダビデの町シオンからかつぎ上ろうとして、イスラエルの長老たちと、すべての部族のかしらたちと、イスラエルの人々の氏族の長たちをエルサレムに召し集めた。
Then Solomon sent for all the responsible men of Israel, all the chiefs of the tribes and the heads of families of the children of Israel, to come to Jerusalem and take the ark of the Lord's agreement up out of the town of David, which is Zion.
3 イスラエルの人々は皆七月の祭に王のもとに集まった。
And all the men of Israel came together to the king at the feast in the seventh month.
4 イスラエルの長老たちが皆きたので、レビびとたちは箱を取り上げた。
All the responsible men of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark.
5 彼らは箱と、会見の幕屋と、幕屋にあるすべて聖なる器をかつぎ上った。すなわち祭司とレビびとがこれらの物をかつぎ上った。
They took up the ark and the Tent of meeting and all the holy vessels which were in the Tent; all these the priests, the Levites, took up.
6 ソロモン王および彼のもとに集まったイスラエルの会衆は皆箱の前で羊と牛をささげたが、その数が多くて、調べることも数えることもできなかった。
And King Solomon and all the men of Israel who had come together there with him, were before the ark, making offerings of sheep and oxen more than might be numbered.
7 こうして祭司たちは主の契約の箱をその場所にかつぎ入れ、宮の本殿である至聖所のうちのケルビムの翼の下に置いた。
And the priests took the ark of the Lord's agreement and put it in its place, in the inner room of the house, in the most holy place, under the wings of the winged ones.
8 ケルビムは翼を箱の所の上に伸べていたので、ケルビムは上から箱とそのさおをおおった。
For their wings were outstretched over the place where the ark was, covering the ark and its rods.
9 さおは長かったので、さおの端が本殿の前の聖所から見えた。しかし外部には見えなかった。さおは今日までそこにある。
The rods were so long that their ends were seen from the holy place before the inmost room; but they were not seen from outside; and there they are to this day.
10 箱の内には二枚の板のほか何もなかった。これはイスラエルの人々がエジプトから出て来たとき、主が彼らと契約を結ばれ、モーセがホレブでそれを納めたものである。
Nothing was in the ark but the two flat stones which Moses put there at Horeb, where the Lord made an agreement with the children of Israel when they came out of Egypt.
11 そして祭司たちが聖所から出たとき（ここにいた祭司たちは皆、その組の順にかかわらず身を清めた。
Now when the priests had come out of the holy place, (for all the priests who were present had made themselves holy, not keeping to their divisions;
12 またレビびとの歌うたう者、すなわちアサフ、ヘマン、エドトンおよび彼らの子たちと兄弟たちはみな亜麻布を着、シンバルと、立琴と、琴をとって祭壇の東に立ち、百二十人の祭司は彼らと一緒に立ってラッパを吹いた。
And the Levites who made the music, all of them, Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and brothers, robed in fair linen, were in their places with their brass and corded instruments at the east side of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests blowing horns; )
13 ラッパ吹く者と歌うたう者とは、ひとりのように声を合わせて主をほめ、感謝した）、そして彼らがラッパと、シンバルとその他の楽器をもって声をふりあげ、主をほめて「主は恵みあり、そのあわれみはとこしえに絶えることがない」と言ったとき、雲はその宮すなわち主の宮に満ちた。
And when the players on horns, and those who made melody in song, with one voice were sounding the praise and glory of the Lord; with loud voices and with wind instruments, and brass and corded instruments of music, praising the Lord and saying, He is good; his mercy is unchanging for ever: then the house was full of the cloud of the glory of the Lord,
14 祭司たちは雲のゆえに立って勤めをすることができなかった。主の栄光が神の宮に満ちたからである。
So that the priests were not able to keep their places to do their work because of the cloud; for the house of God was full of the glory of the Lord.
