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.
Así se terminó la obra que Salomón hizo para la Casa de Yavé. Salomón introdujo los objetos que su padre David consagró: la plata, el oro y todos los utensilios. Los depositó en el tesoro de la Casa de ʼElohim.
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.
Después Salomón reunió en Jerusalén a los ancianos de Israel, todos los jefes de las tribus y los jefes de casas paternas de los hijos de Israel para subir el Arca del Pacto de Yavé desde la Ciudad de David, la cual es Sion.
3 And so, all the men of Israel went to the king, on the solemn day of the seventh month.
Todos los hombres de Israel se congregaron ante el rey en la solemnidad del mes séptimo.
4 And when all the elders of Israel had arrived, the Levites carried the ark,
Cuando todos los ancianos de Israel llegaron, los levitas alzaron el Arca.
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.
Los sacerdotes levitas subieron el Arca, el Tabernáculo de Reunión y todos los utensilios sagrados que había dentro del Tabernáculo.
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.
El rey Salomón y toda la congregación de Israel que se reunió con él delante del Arca sacrificaron ovejas y becerros, los cuales, a causa de su gran cantidad no se pudieron contar ni calcular.
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,
Entonces los sacerdotes introdujeron el Arca del Pacto de Yavé a su puesto en el Lugar Santísimo de la Casa debajo de las alas de los querubines,
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.
porque los querubines extienden las alas sobre el lugar del Arca, de modo que los querubines cubren el Arca y sus varas por encima.
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.
Aunque las varas eran tan largas que los extremos de ellas se podían ver desde el Lugar Santo que está frente al Lugar Santísimo, no podían verse desde afuera. Y así están hasta hoy.
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.
Dentro del Arca no había sino las dos tablas que Moisés puso allí en Horeb, donde Yavé pactó con los hijos de Israel después que salieron de Egipto.
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)
Aconteció que cuando los sacerdotes salían del Santuario (porque todos los sacerdotes presentes se purificaron sin tener en cuenta las clases),
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.
y todos los levitas cantores, Asaf, Hemán y Jedutún, con sus hijos y hermanos, cubiertos con lino fino, estaban en pie con címbalos, salterios y arpas al oriente del altar, y con ellos 120 sacerdotes que tocaban trompetas,
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.
los trompetistas y los cantores se unieron para proclamar a una voz. Alababan y daban gracias a Yavé. Al alzar la voz con las trompetas, los címbalos y los otros instrumentos musicales, alababan a Yavé: Porque es bueno, porque para siempre es su misericordia, una nube llenó la Casa de Yavé.
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.
Los sacerdotes no pudieron continuar ministrando por causa de la nube, porque la gloria de Yavé llenó la Casa de ʼElohim.
