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。
Thus all the work that Solomon made for the house of the LORD was finished: and Solomon brought in [all] the things that David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and all the instruments, put he among the treasures 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 assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers 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.
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。
Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king in the feast which [was] 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。
And all the elders 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。
And they brought up the ark, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that [were] in the tabernacle, these did the priests [and] the Levites bring 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。
Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled unto him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor numbered for multitude.
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 brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, to the oracle of the house, into the most holy [place, even] under the wings of the cherubims:
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 the cherubims spread forth [their] wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above.
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。
And they drew out the staves [of the ark], that the ends of the staves were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without. And there it is unto 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。
[There was] nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put [therein] at Horeb, when the LORD made [a covenant] 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。
And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy [place: ] (for all the priests [that were] present were sanctified, [and] did not [then] wait by course:
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。
Also the Levites [which were] the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, [being] arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them an hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets: )
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。
It came even to pass, as 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 musick, and praised the LORD, [saying], 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;
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 could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God.
