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 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 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 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 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 unto the king at the feast which is [in] the seventh month.
4 Og alle Israels Ældste kom, og Leviterne har Arken.
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 tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle: these did the priests and the Levites bring 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 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 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 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 deres Vinger over Pladsen, hvor Arken stod, og saaledes dannede Keruberne et Dække over Arken og dens Bærestænger.
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 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 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 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 had placed [therein] at Horeb, where the Lord 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 had sanctified themselves, the divisions not having been observed; —
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 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 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,
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 saa at Præsterne af Skyen hindredes i at staa og udføre deres Tjeneste, 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.
