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.

Then Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had vowed, the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels he put among the treasures 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.

And after this he gathered together the ancients of Israel, and all the princes of the tribes, and the heads of the families, of the children of Israel to Jerusalem, to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, which is Sion.

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

And all the men of Israel came to the king in the solemn day of the seventh month.

4 Kad se sastadoše sve Izraelove starješine, leviti ponesoše Kovčeg

And when all the ancients of Israel were come, the Levites took up the ark,

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

And brought it in, together with all the furniture of the tabernacle. And the priests with the Levites carried the vessels of the sanctuary, which were in the tabernacle.

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.

And king Solomon and all the assembly of Israel, and all that were gathered together before the ark, sacrificed rams, and oxen without number: so great was the multitude of the victims.

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

And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord into its place, that is, to the oracle of the temple, into the holy of holies under the wings of the cherubims:

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

So that the cherubims spread their wings over the place, in which the ark was set, and covered the ark itself and its staves.

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.

Now the ends of the staves wherewith the ark was carried, because they were some thing longer, were seen before the oracle: but if a man were a little outward, he could not see them. So the ark has been there unto 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.

And there was nothing else in the ark but the two tables which Moses put there at Horeb when the Lord gave the law to the children of Israel, at their coming out of Egypt.

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

Now when the priests were come out of the sanctuary, (for all the priests that could be found there, mere sanctified: and as yet at that time the courses and orders of the ministries were not divided among them, )

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.

Both the Levites and the singing men, that is, both they that were under Asaph, and they that were under Heman, and they that were under Idithun, with their sons, and their brethren, clothed with fine linen, sounded with cymbals, and psalteries, and harps, standing on the east side of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests, sounding with 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.

So when they all sounded together, both with trumpets, and voice, and cymbals, and organs, and with divers kind of musical instruments, and lifted up their voice on high: the sound was heard afar off, so that when they began to praise the Lord, and to say: Give glory to the Lord for he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever: the house of God was filled with a cloud.

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

Nor could the priests stand and minister by reason of the cloud. For the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God.
