Anden Krønikebog 5
1 Da hele Arbejdet, som Salomo lod udføre ved HERRENS Hus, var færdigt, bragte Salomo sin Fader Davids Helliggaver, Sølvet og Guldet, derind og lagde alle Tingene i Skatkamrene i Guds Hus.
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 Derpaa kaldte Salomo Israels Ældste og alle Stammernes Overhoveder, Israeliternes Fædrenehuses Øverster, sammen i Jerusalem for at føre HERRENS Pagts Ark op fra Davidsbyen, det er Zion.
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 Saa samledes alle Israels Mænd hos Kongen paa Højtiden i Etanim Maaned, det er den syvende Maaned.
So all the men of Israel came together to the king at the feast in the seventh month.
4 Og alle Israels Ældste kom, og Leviterne har Arken.
When all the elders of Israel had arrived, the Levites took up the ark,
5 Og de bragte Arken op tillige med Aabenbaringsteltet og alle de hellige Ting, der var i Teltet; Præsterne og Leviterne bragte dem op:
and they brought up the ark and the Tent of Meeting with all its sacred furnishings. The Levitical priests carried them up.
6 Og Kong Salomo tillige med hele Israels Menighed, som havde givet Møde hos ham foran Arken, ofrede Smaakvæg og Hornkvæg, saa meget, at det ikke var til at tælle eller overse.
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 Saa førte Præsterne HERRENS Pagts Ark ind paa dens Plads i Templets Inderhal, det Allerhelligste, og stillede den under Kerubernes Vinger;
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 og Keruberne udbredte deres Vinger over Pladsen, hvor Arken stod, og saaledes dannede Keruberne et Dække over Arken og dens Bærestænger.
For the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark and overshadowed the ark and its poles.
9 Stængerne var saa lange, at Enderne af dem kunde ses fra det Hellige foran Inderhallen, men de kunde ikke ses længere ude; og de er der den Dag i Dag.
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 Der var ikke andet i Arken end de to Tavler, Moses havde lagt ned i den paa Horeb, Tavlerne med den Pagt, HERREN havde sluttet med Israeliterne, da de drog bort fra Ægypten.
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 Da Præsterne derpaa gik ud af Helligdommen — alle de Præster, der var til Stede, havde nemlig helliget sig uden Hensyn til Skifterne;
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 og alle de levitiske Sangere, Asaf, Heman og Jedutun tillige med deres Sønner og Brødre stod østen for Alteret i Klæder af fint Linned med Cymbler, Harper og Citre, og sammen med dem stod 120 Præster, der blæste i Trompeter —
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 samme Øjeblik som Trompetblæserne og Sangerne paa een Gang stemte i for at love og prise HERREN og lod Trompeterne, Cymblerne og Musikinstrumenterne klinge og lovede HERREN med Ordene »thi han er god, og hans Miskundhed varer evindelig!« — fyldte Skyen HERRENS Hus,
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 saa at Præsterne af Skyen hindredes i at staa og udføre deres Tjeneste, thi HERRENS Herlighed fyldte Guds Hus.
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.
