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.

Thus all the work that Solomon made for the house of the LORD was finished: and Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and all the instruments, he put 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.

Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the leaders of the fathers of the children of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from the city of David, which is Zion.

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

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

4 Kad se sastadoše sve Izraelove starješine, leviti ponesoše Kovčeg

And all the elders of Israel came; and 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 tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, these did the priests and the Levites bring 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.

Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled to him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.

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 to its place, to the inner sanctuary of the house, into the most holy place, even under 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 forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staffs of it above.

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.

And they drew out the staffs of the ark, that the ends of the staffs were seen from the ark before the inner sanctuary; but they were not seen without. And there it is 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 tables which Moses put in it at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.

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

And it came to pass, when the priests had come out of the holy place: (for all the priests that were present were sanctified, and did not then wait by course:

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.

Also the Levites who were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, being arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them an 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.

It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD;

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

So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God.
