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.
And all the work was finished that Solomon made for the house of Jehovah. And Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels he put among the treasures 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.
Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers of the children of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the city of David, which is Zion.
3 Saa samledes alle Israels Mænd hos Kongen paa Højtiden i Etanim Maaned, det er den syvende Maaned.
And all the men of Israel assembled themselves to the king at the feast, that of the seventh month.
4 Og alle Israels Ældste kom, og Leviterne har Arken.
And all the elders of Israel came; and 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, and all the holy vessels that were in the tent: the priests, the Levites, brought 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.
And king Solomon, and all the assembly of Israel, that were assembled to him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen which could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.
7 Saa førte Præsterne HERRENS Pagts Ark ind paa dens Plads i Templets Inderhal, det Allerhelligste, og stillede den under Kerubernes Vinger;
And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah to its place, into the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, under 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.
and the cherubim stretched forth [their] wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its staves above.
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.
And the staves were long, so that the ends of the staves were seen outside the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without. And there they are 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 save the two tables which Moses put there at Horeb, when Jehovah made [a covenant] with the children of Israel, when they came 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;
And it came to pass when the priests were come out of the holy place (for all the priests that were present were hallowed without observing the courses;
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 —
and the Levites the singers, all they of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, clad in byssus, with cymbals and lutes and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests sounding with 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,
— it came to pass when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one voice to be heard in praising and thanking Jehovah; and when they lifted up their voice with trumpets, and cymbals, and instruments of music, and praised Jehovah: For he is good, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever; that then the house, the house of Jehovah, 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.
and the priests could not stand to do their service because of the cloud; for the glory of Jehovah had filled the house of God.
