2 Mbiri 5
1 Pamene ntchito yonse imene Solomoni anagwira pa Nyumba ya Yehova inatha, anabwera ndi zinthu zonse zimene abambo ake Davide anazipereka; siliva, golide ndi ziwiya. Anaziyika mʼzipinda zosungiramo chuma cha ku Nyumba ya Mulungu.
Thus all the work that Solomon did for Yahweh’s house was finished. Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated, even the silver, the gold, and all the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of God’s house.
2 Kenaka Solomoni anasonkhanitsa akuluakulu a Israeli mu Yerusalemu, atsogoleri onse a mafuko ndi akuluakulu a mabanja a Aisraeli, kuti akatenge Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova ku Ziyoni, mzinda wa Davide.
Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers’ households of the children of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of Yahweh’s covenant out of David’s city, which is Zion.
3 Ndipo Aisraeli onse anasonkhana pamaso pa mfumu nthawi ya chikondwerero cha mwezi wachisanu ndi chiwiri.
So all the men of Israel assembled themselves to the king at the feast, which was in the seventh month.
4 Akuluakulu onse a Israeli atafika, Alevi ananyamula Bokosi la Chipangano,
All the elders of Israel came. The Levites took up the ark.
5 ndipo anabwera nalo bokosi lija pamodzi ndi tenti ya msonkhano ndi ziwiya zonse zopatulika zimene zinali mʼmenemo. Ansembe ndi Alevi ndiye anazinyamula,
They brought up the ark, the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent. The Levitical priests brought these up.
6 ndipo Mfumu Solomoni ndi gulu lonse la Aisraeli amene anasonkhana naye anali patsogolo pa Bokosi la Chipangano, akupereka nsembe nkhosa zambiri ndi ngʼombe zambiri zosawerengeka.
King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled to him were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.
7 Ansembe anafika nalo Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova mʼchipinda chamʼkati mwenimweni, Malo Opatulika Kwambiri, ndipo analiyika pansi pa mapiko a Akerubi.
The priests brought in the ark of Yahweh’s covenant to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.
8 Akerubiwo anatambalitsa mapiko awo pamwamba pa Bokosi la Chipangano ndipo anaphimba bokosilo pamodzi ndi mitengo yonyamulira.
For the cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.
9 Mitengoyi inali yayitali kwambiri ndipo inkaonekera kunja kwa chipinda chamʼkati cha Malo Opatulika, koma osati kunja kwa Malo Opatulikawo; ndipo mitengoyi ilipo mpaka lero lino.
The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the ark in front of the inner sanctuary, but they were not seen outside; and it is there to this day.
10 Mʼbokosimo munalibe kanthu kena kalikonse kupatula miyala iwiri imene Mose anayikamo ku Horebu, kumene Yehova anachita pangano ndi Aisraeli atatuluka mʼdziko la Igupto.
There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets which Moses put there at Horeb, when Yahweh made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.
11 Kenaka ansembe anatulukamo mʼMalo Opatulika. Ansembe onse amene anali mʼmenemo anali atadziyeretsa posayangʼaniranso magulu awo ochokera.
When the priests had come out of the holy place (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, and didn’t keep their divisions;
12 Alevi onse amene anali oyimba: Asafu, Hemani, Yedutuni ndi ana ndiponso abale awo, amayima mbali ya kummawa kwa guwa lansembe atavala zovala zofewa zosalala akuyimba ziwaya zamalipenga, azeze ndi apangwe. Ansembe onse amene amayimba malipenga analipo 120 pamodzi.
also the Levites who were the singers, all of them, even Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and their brothers, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals and stringed instruments and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them one hundred twenty priests sounding with trumpets);
13 Oyimba malipenga ndi oyimba nyimbo aja amayimba mogwirizana, monga liwu la munthu mmodzi, kutamanda ndi kuyamika Yehova. Mogwirizana ndi malipenga, ziwaya zamalipenga ndi zida zina, anakweza mawu awo motamanda Yehova poyimba kuti, “Yehova ndi wabwino; chikondi chake chikhala mpaka muyaya.” Ndipo Nyumba ya Mulungu wa Yehova inadzaza ndi mtambo,
when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking Yahweh; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised Yahweh, saying, “For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever!” then the house was filled with a cloud, even Yahweh’s house,
14 choncho ansembe sanathe kugwira ntchito yawo chifukwa cha mtambowo, pakuti ulemerero wa Yehova unadzaza Nyumba ya Mulungu.
so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for Yahweh’s glory filled God’s house.
