2 Chronicles 5
1 So all the work which Solomon did for the house of the Lord was complete. And Solomon took the holy things which David his father had given, the silver and the gold and all the vessels, and put them in the store-houses of the house of God.
[聖殿落成]撒羅滿為上主的殿所作的一切工作完成了以後，遂將他父親達味所奉獻的禮品，金銀和所有的器具運上來，存放在天主殿宇的府庫裏。 [迎約櫃入聖殿]
2 Then Solomon sent for all the responsible men of Israel, all the chiefs of the tribes and the heads of families of the children of Israel, to come to Jerusalem and take the ark of the Lord's agreement up out of the town of David, which is Zion.
那時，撒羅滿召集以色列的長老，各支派的首領和以色列子民各家族長，到耶路撒冷，機上主的約櫃從達味城，即熙雍運上來。
3 And all the men of Israel came together to the king at the feast in the seventh month.
以色列人於是在七月的節日，都聚集到君王那裏。
4 All the responsible men of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark.
以色列所有的長老一來到，肋未人便抬起約櫃，
5 They took up the ark and the Tent of meeting and all the holy vessels which were in the Tent; all these the priests, the Levites, took up.
將約櫃和會幕內所有的聖器都抬上來；抬運的都是司祭和肋未人。
6 And King Solomon and all the men of Israel who had come together there with him, were before the ark, making offerings of sheep and oxen more than might be numbered.
撒羅滿王和聚集在他那裏的以色列全會眾，在約櫃前宰殺了牛羊，多得無法計算，不可勝數。
7 And the priests took the ark of the Lord's agreement and put it in its place, in the inner room of the house, in the most holy place, under the wings of the winged ones.
司祭們將上主的約櫃抬到殿的內部，即至聖所內，放在革魯賓的翅膀下，那早已預備的地方。
8 For their wings were outstretched over the place where the ark was, covering the ark and its rods.
革魯賓伸開翅膀遮在約櫃的所在之上，所以革魯賓在上面正遮著約櫃和抬櫃的扛桿。
9 The rods were so long that their ends were seen from the holy place before the inmost room; but they were not seen from outside; and there they are to this day.
這扛桿很長，扛頭從內殿前的聖所裏可以看見，在殿外卻看不見；直到今天還在那裏。
10 Nothing was in the ark but the two flat stones which Moses put there at Horeb, where the Lord made an agreement with the children of Israel when they came out of Egypt.
約櫃內除了兩塊石版，沒有別的東西：這是以色列子民出埃及後，上主與他們立約時，梅瑟在曷勒布山放在裏面的。[上主顯示榮耀]
11 Now when the priests had come out of the holy place, (for all the priests who were present had made themselves holy, not keeping to their divisions;
當司祭從聖所出來時，─因為所有在場的司祭都自潔過，未分班次，
12 And the Levites who made the music, all of them, Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and brothers, robed in fair linen, were in their places with their brass and corded instruments at the east side of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests blowing horns; )
全體歌唱的肋未人，阿撒夫、赫曼、耶杜通，和他們的兒子以及他們同族的弟兄，一律穿著細麻的衣服，站在祭壇的東面，擊鈸、鼓瑟、彈琴；同他們在一起的，尚有一百二十位司祭吹號筒，─
13 And when the players on horns, and those who made melody in song, with one voice were sounding the praise and glory of the Lord; with loud voices and with wind instruments, and brass and corded instruments of music, praising the Lord and saying, He is good; his mercy is unchanging for ever: then the house was full of the cloud of the glory of the Lord,
吹號筒的和歌唱的人都同聲同調讚美上主。當他們配合號筒鐃鈸和各種樂器，高聲讚美上主說：「因為他是聖善的，因為他的仁慈永遠常存」時，雲彩充滿了聖殿，即上主的殿，
14 So that the priests were not able to keep their places to do their work because of the cloud; for the house of God was full of the glory of the Lord.
致使司祭由於雲彩不能繼續奉職，因為上主的光榮充滿了天主的殿。
