Anden Krønikebog 5
1 Saa blev alt Arbejdet færdigt, som Salomo lod gøre til Herrens Hus; og Salomo førte det ind, som David, hans Fader, havde helliget, og Sølvet og Guldet og alle Redskaberne lagde han i Guds Hus's Skatkammer.
Thus all the work that Solomon wrought for the house of the LORD was finished. And Solomon brought in the things that David his father had hallowed; even the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of the house of God.
2 Da samlede Salomo til Jerusalem de Ældste i Israel og alle Stammernes Øverster, Fyrster for Fædrenehusene iblandt Israels Børn, for at føre Herrens Pagts Ark op fra Davids Stad, det er Zion.
Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers' houses of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.
3 Og alle Israels Mænd samledes til Kongen paa Højtiden, det er, i den syvende Maaned.
And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king at the feast, which was in the seventh month.
4 Og alle Israels Ældste kom, og Leviterne bare Arken.
And all the elders of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark.
5 Og de førte Arken op tillige med Forsamlingens Paulun og alle de hellige Redskaber, som vare i Paulunet; Præsterne, Leviterne, førte dem op.
And they brought up the ark, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; these did the priests and the Levites bring up.
6 Men Kong Salomo og al Israels Menighed, de, som vare samlede om ham foran Arken, ofrede smaat Kvæg og stort Kvæg, som ikke kunde tælles eller regnes for Mangfoldighed.
And king Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.
7 Saa førte Præsterne Herrens Pagts Ark til dens Sted, ind i Koret udi Huset i det Allerhelligste, hen under Kerubernes Vinger.
And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto its place, into the Sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.
8 Og Keruberne udbredte Vingerne over Arkens Sted, og Keruberne dækkede over Arken og over dens Stænger oventil.
For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereof above.
9 Og man drog Stængerne langt ud, saa at man saa Knapperne paa Arkens Stænger lige for Koret, men udentil saa man dem ikke; og den blev der indtil denne Dag.
And the staves were so long that the ends of the staves were seen from the ark before the Sanctuary; but they could not be seen without; and there they are unto this day.
10 Der var intet i Arken uden de to Tavler, som Mose lagde deri ved Horeb, der Herren gjorde Pagt med Israels Børn, der de droge ud af Ægypten.
There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.
11 Og det skete, der Præsterne gik ud af det Hellige (thi alle Præster, som fandtes, havde helliget sig, saa at de ikke holdt sig efter Skifterne;
And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place — for all the priests that were present had sanctified themselves, and did not keep their courses;
12 og Leviterne, Sangerne, alle sam men, baade Asaf, Heman og Jeduthun og deres Børn og deres Brødre, iførte kosteligt Linklæde, med Cymbler og med Psaltre og Harper, stode Østen ved Alteret og hos dem hundrede og tyve Præster, som blæste i Basunerne);
also the Levites who were the singers, all of them, even Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and their brethren, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets —
13 ja det skete, der de som een Mand blæste i Basuner og sang for enstemmigt at lade sig høre med Lov og Tak til Herren, og der de opløftede Røsten med Basuner og med Cymbler og med andre Sanginstrumenter, og der de lovede Herren, at han er god, og hans Miskundhed er evindelig: Da blev Huset i Herrens Hus fyldt med en Sky.
it came even to pass, when 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: '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 Og Præsterne kunde ikke staa og gøre Tjeneste for Skyen; thi Herrens Herlighed fyldte Guds Hus.
so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of God.
