2 Chronicles 5
1 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.
所羅門做完了耶和華殿的一切工，就把他父大衛分別為聖的金銀和器皿都帶來，放在上帝殿的府庫裏。
2 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.
那時，所羅門將以色列的長老、各支派的首領，並以色列的族長招聚到耶路撒冷，要把耶和華的約櫃從大衛城－就是錫安－運上來。
3 So all the men of Israel came together to the king at the feast in the seventh month.
於是以色列眾人在七月節前都聚集到王那裏。
4 When all the elders of Israel had arrived, the Levites took up the ark,
以色列眾長老來到，利未人便抬起約櫃。
5 and they brought up the ark and the Tent of Meeting with all its sacred furnishings. The Levitical priests carried them up.
祭司利未人將約櫃運上來，又將會幕和會幕的一切聖器具都帶上來。
6 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.
所羅門王和聚集到他那裏的以色列全會眾都在約櫃前獻牛羊為祭，多得不可勝數。
7 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.
祭司將耶和華的約櫃抬進內殿，就是至聖所，放在兩個基路伯的翅膀底下。
8 For the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark and overshadowed the ark and its poles.
基路伯張着翅膀在約櫃之上，遮掩約櫃和抬櫃的槓。
9 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.
這槓甚長，槓頭在內殿前可以看見，在殿外卻不能看見，直到如今還在那裏。
10 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.
約櫃裏惟有兩塊石版，就是以色列人出埃及後，耶和華與他們立約的時候，摩西在何烈山所放的。除此以外，並無別物。
11 Now all the priests who were present had consecrated themselves regardless of their divisions. And when the priests came out of the Holy Place,
當時，在那裏所有的祭司都已自潔，並不分班供職。
12 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.
他們出聖所的時候，歌唱的利未人亞薩、希幔、耶杜頓，和他們的眾子眾弟兄都穿細麻布衣服，站在壇的東邊，敲鈸、鼓瑟、彈琴，同着他們有一百二十個祭司吹號。
13 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
吹號的、歌唱的都一齊發聲，聲合為一，讚美感謝耶和華。吹號、敲鈸，用各種樂器，揚聲讚美耶和華說： 耶和華本為善， 他的慈愛永遠長存！ 那時，耶和華的殿有雲充滿，
14 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.
甚至祭司不能站立供職，因為耶和華的榮光充滿了上帝的殿。
