2 Chronicles 5
1 Then Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had vowed, the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels, which he placed 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 After this, he gathered together those greater by birth of Israel, and all the leaders of the tribes, and the heads of the families, from the sons of Israel, to Jerusalem, so that they might bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord from the City of David, which is Zion.
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 And so, all the men of Israel went to the king, on the solemn day of the seventh month.
於是以色列眾人在七月節前都聚集到王那裏。
4 And when all the elders of Israel had arrived, the Levites carried the ark,
以色列眾長老來到，利未人便抬起約櫃。
5 and they brought it in, along with all the equipment of the tabernacle. Then too, the priests with the Levites carried the vessels of the sanctuary, which were in the tabernacle.
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 Now king Solomon, and the entire assembly of Israel, and all who had gathered together before the ark, were immolating rams and oxen without any number, for so great was the multitude of the victims.
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 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place, that is, to the oracle of the temple, in the Holy of Holies, under 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 so that the cherubim extended their wings over the place where the ark was positioned, and they covered the ark itself and its bars.
基路伯張着翅膀在約櫃之上，遮掩約櫃和抬櫃的槓。
9 But concerning the bars by which the ark was carried, because they were a little longer, the ends were able to be seen before the oracle. Yet truly, if anyone were a little ways toward the exterior, he would not be able to see them. And so the ark has been in that place, even to the present 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 And there was nothing else in the ark, except the two tablets, which Moses had placed there at Horeb when the Lord gave the law to the sons of Israel, at the departure from 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 And having gone out from the Sanctuary, the priests (for all the priests who were able to be found there were sanctified, and in that time the turns and orders of the ministries had not yet been divided among them)
當時，在那裏所有的祭司都已自潔，並不分班供職。
12 with both the Levites and the singing men, that is, those who were under Asaph, and those who were under Heman, and those who were under Jeduthun, with their sons and brothers, clothed in fine linen, sounded out with cymbals, and psalteries, and harps, standing toward the eastern side of the altar. And with them were one hundred twenty priests, sounding out with 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 And when they all sounded out together, with trumpets, and voice, and cymbals, and pipes, and with various kinds of musical instruments, lifting their voice on high, the sound was heard from far away, so that when they had begun to praise the Lord, and to say, “Confess to the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy is eternal,” the house of God 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 Neither were the priests able to stand and to minister, because of the cloud. For the glory of the Lord had 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。
