2 Dungkrhoekhaih 5

1 Angraeng ih im hanah Solomon mah toksak pacoeng boih naah, ampa David mah paek ih hmuennawk boih to lak moe, sui, sumkanglung hoi kalah hmuennawk boih to, Sithaw ih hmuenmae pakuemhaih ahmuen ah a suek.

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 Solomon mah David ih vangpui, Zion vangpui hoiah Angraeng lokkamhaih thingkhong to angzawn hanah, Israel zaehoikungnawk, acaeng lu koeknawk, Israel acaeng zaehoikungnawk to Jerusalem ah kawk boih.

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 To pongah Israel kaminawk loe khrah sarihto naah sak ih poih niah, siangpahrang khaeah angzoh o boih.

So all the men of Israel assembled themselves to the king at the feast, which was in the seventh month.

4 Israel kacoehtanawk angzoh o boih moe, Levi acaengnawk mah thingkhong to angzawn o.

All the elders of Israel came. The Levites took up the ark.

5 Angraeng ih thingkhong, kaminawk amgkhuenghaih kahni im, kahni imthung ah kaom kaciim hmuennawk to angzawn o boih; qaimanawk hoi Levi acaengnawk mah angzawn o.

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 Solomon siangpahrang hoi Angraeng ih thingkhong hmaa ah amkhueng Israel kaminawk boih mah, kroek laek ai, paroeai kapop tuu hoi maitawtaenawk to angbawnhaih ah paek o.

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 Qaimanawk mah kaom tangcae lok baktih toengah, Angraeng lokkamhaih thingkhong to im thung ih hmuenciim, Kaciim Koek ahmuen, cherubimnawk ih pakhraeh tlim ah suek o.

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 Thingkhong suekhaih ahmuen loe Cherubim ih pakhraeh mah khuk khoep; thingkhong hoi angzawnhaih cung doeh cherubim mah khuk hmoek.

For the cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.

9 Angzawnhaih cung loe sawk parai pongah, athung ih hmuenciim hma hoiah amtueng; toe tasa bang hoiah loe amtueng ai; vaihni ni khoek to to ahmuen ah oh vop.

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 Israel caanawk Izip prae thung hoi tacawt o pacoengah, Angraeng mah nihcae hoi lokmaihaih to sak, to naah Mosi mah Horeb ah suek ih thlung kangphaek daek hnetto khue ai ah loe, thingkhong thungah tidoeh om ai.

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 To pacoeng ah qaimanawk loe hmuenciim hoiah amlaem o; naa bang ih qaima maw, kawbaktih qaima maw, tiah pathlaenghaih om ai ah, to ahmuen ah kaom qaimanawk boih loe ciimcai ah oh o.

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 Laasah Levi acaengnawk, Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun hoi anih ih caanawk, angmah ih nawkamyanawk boih loe, puu ngan kahni kanglung to angkhuek o; hmaicam ni angyae bangah angdoet o moe, cingceng bohhaih hoiah congca katoengnawk to kruek o; cumvai pumphaeto mongkah ueng qaimanawk mah nihcae to angdoet o haih;

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 mongkah ueng kaminawk hoi laasah kaminawk nawnto amhong o, lok maeto hoiah Angraeng to saphaw o moe, anghoehaih lok a thuih o; mongkahnawk, cingcengnawk hoi kalah congca tamoinawk to kruek o moe, tha hoi Angraeng to saphaw o; Anih loe hoih; Anih ih amlunghaih loe dungzan khoek to cak, tiah hang o naah, Angraeng ih im to tamai mah khuk khoep:

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 tamai mah khuk hmoek pongah, qaimanawk doeh toksak han angdoe o thai ai boeh; to tiah im loe Angraeng lensawkhaih hoiah koi.

so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for Yahweh’s glory filled God’s house.
