2 Crónicas 5

1 Y acabóse toda la obra que hizo Salomón para la casa de Jehová: y metió Salomón las cosas que David su padre había dedicado, y puso la plata, y el oro, y todos los vasos en los tesoros de la casa de Dios.

Then Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had vowed, the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels, which he placed in the treasuries of the house of God.

2 Entonces Salomón juntó los ancianos de Israel, y todos los príncipes de las tribus, las cabezas de las familias de los hijos de Israel en Jerusalem, para que trajesen el arca del concierto de Jehová de la ciudad de David, que es Sión,

After this, he gathered together those greater by birth of Israel, and all the leaders of the tribes, and the heads of the families, from the sons of Israel, to Jerusalem, so that they might bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord from the City of David, which is Zion.

3 Y juntáronse al rey todos los varones de Israel a la solemnidad del mes séptimo.

And so, all the men of Israel went to the king, on the solemn day of the seventh month.

4 Y todos los ancianos de Israel vinieron, y los Levitas llevaron el arca.

And when all the elders of Israel had arrived, the Levites carried the ark,

5 Y llevaron el arca, y el tabernáculo del testimonio, y todos los vasos del santuario que estaban en el tabernáculo, y los llevaban los sacerdotes, y los Levitas.

and they brought it in, along with all the equipment of the tabernacle. Then too, the priests with the Levites carried the vessels of the sanctuary, which were in the tabernacle.

6 Y el rey Salomón, y toda la congregación de Israel que se había congregado a él delante del arca, sacrificaron ovejas y bueyes, que por la multitud no se pudieron contar ni numerar.

Now king Solomon, and the entire assembly of Israel, and all who had gathered together before the ark, were immolating rams and oxen without any number, for so great was the multitude of the victims.

7 Y los sacerdotes metieron el arca del concierto de Jehová en su lugar, al oratorio de la casa, en el lugar santísimo, debajo de las alas de los querubines.

And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place, that is, to the oracle of the temple, in the Holy of Holies, under the wings of the cherubim,

8 Y los querubines extendían las dos alas sobre el asiento del arca, y cubrían los querubines por encima así el arca como sus barras.

so that the cherubim extended their wings over the place where the ark was positioned, and they covered the ark itself and its bars.

9 E hicieron salir a fuera las barras, para que se viesen las cabezas de las barras del arca delante del oratorio, mas no se veían desde fuera: y allí estuvieron hasta hoy.

But concerning the bars by which the ark was carried, because they were a little longer, the ends were able to be seen before the oracle. Yet truly, if anyone were a little ways toward the exterior, he would not be able to see them. And so the ark has been in that place, even to the present day.

10 En el arca no había sino las dos tablas que Moisés había puesto en Horeb, con las cuales Jehová había hecho alianza con los hijos de Israel, cuando salieron de Egipto.

And there was nothing else in the ark, except the two tablets, which Moses had placed there at Horeb when the Lord gave the law to the sons of Israel, at the departure from Egypt.

11 Y como los sacerdotes salieron del santuario, (porque todos los sacerdotes que se hallaron habían sido santificados, ) no podían guardar sus veces.

And having gone out from the Sanctuary, the priests (for all the priests who were able to be found there were sanctified, and in that time the turns and orders of the ministries had not yet been divided among them)

12 Y los Levitas cantores todos, los de Asaf, los de Hemán, y los de Iditún, juntamente con sus hijos y sus hermanos, estaban vestidos de lino fino, con címbalos, y salterios, y arpas, al oriente del altar; y con ellos ciento y veinte sacerdotes que tocaban trompetas.

with both the Levites and the singing men, that is, those who were under Asaph, and those who were under Heman, and those who were under Jeduthun, with their sons and brothers, clothed in fine linen, sounded out with cymbals, and psalteries, and harps, standing toward the eastern side of the altar. And with them were one hundred twenty priests, sounding out with trumpets.

13 Y tocaban las trompetas, y cantaban con la voz todos a una como un varón, alabando y glorificando a Jehová, cuando alzaban la voz con trompetas, y címbalos, y órganos de música, cuando alababan a Jehová: Porque es bueno, porque su misericordia es para siempre. Y la casa fue llena de una nube, la casa de Jehová;

And when they all sounded out together, with trumpets, and voice, and cymbals, and pipes, and with various kinds of musical instruments, lifting their voice on high, the sound was heard from far away, so that when they had begun to praise the Lord, and to say, “Confess to the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy is eternal,” the house of God was filled with a cloud.

14 Y no podían los sacerdotes estar para ministrar por causa de la nube: porque la gloria de Jehová había henchido la casa de Dios.

Neither were the priests able to stand and to minister, because of the cloud. For the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God.
