2 Chronicles 5
1 Thus all the work that Solomon wrought for the house of the LORD was finished. And Solomon brought in the things that David his father had hallowed; even the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of the house of God.
Maka selesailah segala pekerjaan yang dilakukan Salomo untuk rumah TUHAN itu. Kemudian Salomo memasukkan barang-barang kudus Daud, ayahnya, dan menaruh perak, emas dan barang-barang itu dalam perbendaharaan rumah Allah.
2 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers' houses of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.
Pada waktu itu Salomo menyuruh para tua-tua Israel dan semua kepala suku, para pemimpin puak orang Israel, berkumpul di Yerusalem, untuk mengangkut tabut perjanjian TUHAN dari kota Daud, yaitu Sion.
3 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king at the feast, which was in the seventh month.
Maka pada hari raya di bulan ketujuh berkumpullah di hadapan raja semua orang Israel.
4 And all the elders of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark.
Setelah semua tua-tua orang Israel datang, maka orang-orang Lewi mengangkat tabut itu.
5 And they brought up the ark, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; these did the priests and the Levites bring up.
Mereka mengangkut tabut itu dan Kemah Pertemuan dan segala barang kudus yang ada dalam kemah itu; semuanya itu diangkut oleh imam-imam dan orang-orang Lewi.
6 And king Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.
Tetapi raja Salomo dan segenap umat Israel yang sudah berkumpul di hadapannya, berdiri di depan tabut itu, dan mempersembahkan kambing domba dan lembu sapi yang tidak terhitung dan tidak terbilang banyaknya.
7 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto its place, into the Sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.
Kemudian imam-imam membawa tabut perjanjian TUHAN itu ke tempatnya, di ruang belakang rumah itu, di tempat maha kudus, tepat di bawah sayap kerub-kerub;
8 For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereof above.
jadi kerub-kerub itu mengembangkan kedua sayapnya di atas tempat tabut itu, sehingga kerub-kerub itu menudungi tabut serta kayu-kayu pengusungnya dari atas.
9 And the staves were so long that the ends of the staves were seen from the ark before the Sanctuary; but they could not be seen without; and there they are unto this day.
Kayu-kayu pengusung itu demikian panjangnya, sehingga ujungnya kelihatan dari tempat kudus, yang di depan ruang belakang itu, tetapi tidak kelihatan dari luar; dan di situlah tempatnya sampai hari ini.
10 There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.
Dalam tabut itu tidak ada apa-apa selain dari kedua loh yang ditaruh Musa ke dalamnya di gunung Horeb, ketika TUHAN mengikat perjanjian dengan orang Israel pada waktu perjalanan mereka keluar dari Mesir.
11 And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place — for all the priests that were present had sanctified themselves, and did not keep their courses;
Lalu para imam keluar dari tempat kudus. Para imam yang ada pada waktu itu semuanya telah menguduskan diri, lepas dari giliran rombongan masing-masing.
12 also the Levites who were the singers, all of them, even Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and their brethren, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets —
Demikian pula para penyanyi orang Lewi semuanya hadir, yakni Asaf, Heman, Yedutun, beserta anak-anak dan saudara-saudaranya. Mereka berdiri di sebelah timur mezbah, berpakaian lenan halus dan dengan ceracap, gambus dan kecapinya, bersama-sama seratus dua puluh imam peniup nafiri.
13 it came even to pass, 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: 'for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever'; that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD,
Lalu para peniup nafiri dan para penyanyi itu serentak memperdengarkan paduan suaranya untuk menyanyikan puji-pujian dan syukur kepada TUHAN. Mereka menyaringkan suara dengan nafiri, ceracap dan alat-alat musik sambil memuji TUHAN dengan ucapan: "Sebab Ia baik! Bahwasanya untuk selama-lamanya kasih setia-Nya." Pada ketika itu rumah itu, yakni rumah TUHAN, dipenuhi awan,
14 so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of God.
sehingga imam-imam itu tidak tahan berdiri untuk menyelenggarakan kebaktian oleh karena awan itu, sebab kemuliaan TUHAN memenuhi rumah Allah.
