Chronicles II 5

1 And Solomon brought in the holy things of his father David, the silver, and the gold, and the [other] vessels, and put them in the treasury of the house of the Lord.

Då no heile det arbeidet var ferdigt som Salomo let gjera åt Herrens hus, då førde Salomo inn dit heilaggåvorne åt David, far sin: sylvet og gullet og alle gognerne lagde han ned i skattkammeri i Guds hus.

2 Then Solomon assembled all the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, [even] the leaders of the families of the children of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, —this [is] Sion.

So kalla Salomo saman styresmennerne i Israel og alle ættarhovdingarne, formennerne for ættgreinerne åt Israels-sønerne, til Jerusalem for å føra Herrens sambandskista upp ifrå Davidsbyen, det er Sion.

3 And all Israel were assembled [to] the king in the feast, this [is] the seventh month.

Då samla alle Israels-mennerne seg hjå kongen i helgi; det er den sjuande månaden.

4 And all the elders of Israel came; and all the Levites took up the ark,

Og alle styresmennerne i Israel kom, og levitarne bar kista.

5 and the tabernacle of witness, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle; and the priests and the Levites brought it up.

Og dei førde kista og møtetjeldet dit upp og alle dei heilaggognerne som var i tjeldet, og prestarne og levitarne bar deim.

6 And king Solomon, and all the elders of Israel, and the religious of them, and they of them that were gathered before the ark, [were] sacrificing calves and sheep, which could not be numbered or reckoned for multitude.

Og kong Salomo og heile Israels-lyden, som hadde samla seg hjå honom, dei stod framfyre kista og ofra småfe og storfe, so mange at dei ikkje kunde reknast eller teljast.

7 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord into its place, into the oracle of the house, [even] into the holy of holies, under the wings of the cherubs.

So førde prestarne Herrens sambandskista inn på staden sin i koren i huset, i det høgheilage, under vengjerne åt kerubarne.

8 And the cherubs stretched out their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubs covered the ark, and its staves above.

Og kerubarne breidde ut vengjerne sine yver den staden der kista stod, og soleis tekte kerubarne yver kista og berestengerne hennar.

9 And the staves projected, and the heads of the staves were seen from the holy place in front of the oracle, they were not seen without: and there they were to this day.

Berestengerne var so lange at ein såg stongendarne som stod fram frå kista, framanfor koren; men ein såg deim ikkje utanfor. Og dei vart verande der til den dag i dag.

10 There was nothing in the ark except the two tables which Moses placed [there] in Choreb, which God gave in covenant with the children of Israel, when they went out of the land of Egypt.

Det fanst ikkje anna i kista enn dei tvo tavlorne som Moses hadde lagt ned i henne ved Horeb, då Herren gjorde samband med Israels-borni då dei drog ut or Egyptarland.

11 And it came to pass, when the priests when out of the holy place, (for all the priests that were found were sanctified, they were not [then] arranged according to their daily course, )

Då prestarne so gjekk ut or heilagdomen, for alle dei prestarne som var der, hadde vigt seg, so det var ikkje naudsynlegt å halda seg etter skifti,

12 that all the singing Levites [assigned] to the sons of Asaph, to Aeman, to Idithun, and to his sons, and to his brethren, of them that were clothed in linen garments, with cymbals and lutes and harps, [were] standing before the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests, blowing trumpets.

og alle dei levitiske songararne, både Asaf, Heman og Jedutun og sønerne og brørne deira, stod i kvite linklæde med cymblar, harpor og cithrar austanfor altaret, og hjå deim hundrad og tjuge prestar som bles i lurar,

13 And there was one voice in the trumpeting and in the psalm-singing, and in the loud utterance with one voice to give thanks and praise the Lord; and when they raised their voice together with trumpets and cymbals, and instruments of music, and said, Give thanks to the Lord, for [it is] good, for his mercy [endures] for ever: —then the house was filled with the cloud of the glory of the Lord.

og i same augneblinken då lurblåsarane og songarane sette i alle som ein med å lova og prisa Herren, og dei let lurarne og cymblarne og spelgognerne klinga, og lova Herren for han er god, og hans miskunn varer æveleg - då vart huset, Herrens hus, fyllt av ei sky,

14 And the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God.

so prestarne kunde ikkje standa og gjera tenesta for skuld skyi; for Herrens herlegdom fyllte Guds hus.
