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.
And so was ended all the work which Solomon made for the house of the Lord; and Solomon brought in the things sanctified by David his father; and the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels he placed 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 did Solomon assemble the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the divisions 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 is [in] the seventh month.
4 Og alle Israels Ældste kom, og Leviterne bare Arken.
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 tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle: 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, which could not be numbered nor told 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 debir of the house, into the most holy place, under the wings of the cherubim.
8 Og Keruberne udbredte Vingerne over Arkens Sted, og Keruberne dækkede over Arken og over dens Stænger oventil.
And the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its staves from 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 they had made the staves so long that the ends of the staves were seen [standing out] from the ark in the front of the debir; but they were not seen without; and they have remained there until 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 had placed [therein] at Horeb, where 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, the divisions not having been observed; —
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);
And the Levites the singers, all together, of Assaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east side of the altar, and with them were one hundred and twenty priests blowing on 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.
And it came thus 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 [accompanied] with trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and in praising the Lord, For he is good; because unto everlasting endureth his kindness: that the house, even the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud;
14 Og Præsterne kunde ikke staa og gøre Tjeneste for Skyen; thi Herrens Herlighed fyldte Guds Hus.
And the priests were not able to stand to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God.
