2 Ljetopisa 5

1 Tako bi priveden kraju posao što ga Salomon obavi za Dom Jahvin. Salomon unese sve svete darove oca svoga Davida - srebro, zlato i sve posuđe - i stavi ih u riznicu Božjega Doma.

So all the work that Solomon had performed for the house of the LORD was completed. Then Solomon brought in the items his father David had dedicated—the silver, the gold, and all the furnishings—and he placed them in the treasuries of the house of God.

2 Tada Salomon sazva u Jeruzalem sve Izraelove starješine, knezove plemenske i glavare obiteljske, da se prenese Kovčeg saveza Jahvina iz Davidova grada, to jest sa Siona.

At that time Solomon assembled in Jerusalem the elders of Israel—all the tribal heads and family leaders of the Israelites—to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from Zion, the City of David.

3 Svi se ljudi Izraelovi sabraše pred kraljem na blagdan što je u sedmom mjesecu.

So all the men of Israel came together to the king at the feast in the seventh month.

4 Kad se sastadoše sve Izraelove starješine, leviti ponesoše Kovčeg

When all the elders of Israel had arrived, the Levites took up the ark,

5 i Šator sastanka sa svim posvećenim priborom što bješe u Šatoru; svećenici ih i leviti prenesoše.

and they brought up the ark and the Tent of Meeting with all its sacred furnishings. The Levitical priests carried them up.

6 Potom kralj Salomon i sva izraelska zajednica što se sabra k njemu žrtvovaše pred Kovčegom toliko ovaca i goveda da se ne mogahu ni prebrojiti ni procijeniti.

There, before the ark, King Solomon and the whole congregation of Israel who had assembled with him sacrificed so many sheep and oxen that they could not be counted or numbered.

7 Svećenici donesoše Kovčeg saveza Jahvina na njegovo mjesto, u Debir Doma, to jest u Svetinju nad svetinjama, pod krila kerubinÄa.

Then the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, the Most Holy Place, beneath the wings of the cherubim.

8 Kerubini su imali raširena krila nad mjestom gdje stajaše Kovčeg i zaklanjahu Kovčeg i njegove motke.

For the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark and overshadowed the ark and its poles.

9 Motke su bile tako dugačke da su im se krajevi vidjeli iz Svetišta nasuprot Debiru, ali se nisu vidjele izvana i ondje stoje do dana današnjega.

The poles of the ark extended far enough that their ends were visible from in front of the inner sanctuary, but not from outside the Holy Place; and they are there to this day.

10 U Kovčegu nije bilo ništa, osim dviju ploča koje metnu Mojsije na Horebu, gdje Jahve sklopi Savez s Izraelcima pošto iziđoše iz Egipta.

There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets that Moses had placed in it at Horeb, where the LORD had made a covenant with the Israelites after they had come out of Egypt.

11 Svi svećenici izađoše iz Svetišta, jer su se svi nazočni svećenici posvetili bez obzira na redove.

Now all the priests who were present had consecrated themselves regardless of their divisions. And when the priests came out of the Holy Place,

12 Svi levitski pjevači, Asaf, Heman, Jedutun sa sinovima i braćom, stajahu obučeni u bÓez, s cimbalima, harfama i citrama, istočno od žrtvenika, a s njima sto i dvadeset svećenika koji su trubili u trube.

all the Levitical singers—Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and relatives—stood on the east side of the altar, dressed in fine linen and playing cymbals, harps, and lyres, accompanied by 120 priests sounding trumpets.

13 I dok su trubili i pjevali složno kao jedan i jednoglasno hvalili i slavili Jahvu, podižući glas uz trube, cimbale i druga glazbala, hvaleći Jahvu “jer je dobar i jer je vječna njegova ljubav”, oblak ispuni Dom Jahvin.

The trumpeters and singers joined together to praise and thank the LORD with one voice. They lifted up their voices, accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and musical instruments, in praise to the LORD: “For He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.” And the temple, the house of the LORD, was filled with a cloud

14 Svećenici ne mogoše od oblaka nastaviti službe: slava Jahvina ispuni Božji dom!

so that the priests could not stand there to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of God.
