2 Chronicles 5
1 And all the work was finished that Solomon made for the house of Jehovah. And Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels he put among the treasures of the house of God.
Intulit igitur Salomon omnia, quæ voverat David pater suus, argentum, et aurum, et universa vasa posuit in thesauris domus Dei.
2 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers of the children of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the city of David, which is Zion.
Post quæ congregavit maiores natu Israel, et cunctos principes tribuum, et capita familiarum de filiis Israel in Ierusalem, ut adducerent arcam fœderis Domini de Civitate David, quæ est Sion.
3 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves to the king at the feast, that of the seventh month.
Venerunt itaque ad regem omnes viri Israel in die sollemni mensis septimi.
4 And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up the ark.
Cumque venissent cuncti seniorum Israel, portaverunt Levitæ arcam,
5 And they brought up the ark, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the tent: the priests, the Levites, brought them up.
et intulerunt eam, et omnem paraturam tabernaculi. Porro vasa sanctuarii, quæ erant in tabernaculo, portaverunt Sacerdotes cum Levitis.
6 And king Solomon, and all the assembly of Israel, that were assembled to him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen which could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.
Rex autem Salomon, et universus cœtus Israel, et omnes, qui fuerunt congregati ante arcam, immolabant arietes, et boves absque ullo numero: tanta enim erat multitudo victimarum.
7 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah to its place, into the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, under the wings of the cherubim;
Et intulerunt Sacerdotes arcam fœderis Domini in locum suum, id est, ad oraculum templi, in Sancta sanctorum subter alas cherubim:
8 and the cherubim stretched forth [their] wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its staves above.
ita ut cherubim expanderent alas suas super locum, in quo posita erat arca, et ipsam arcam tegerent cum vectibus suis.
9 And the staves were long, so that the ends of the staves were seen outside the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without. And there they are to this day.
Vectium autem, quibus portabatur arca, quia paululum longiores erant, capita parebant ante oraculum: si vero quis paululum fuisset extrinsecus, eos videre non poterat. Fuit itaque arca ibi usque in præsentem diem.
10 There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put there at Horeb, when Jehovah made [a covenant] with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.
Nihilque erat aliud in arca, nisi duæ tabulæ, quas posuerat Moyses in Horeb, quando legem dedit Dominus filiis Israel egredientibus ex Ægypto.
11 And it came to pass when the priests were come out of the holy place (for all the priests that were present were hallowed without observing the courses;
Egressis autem sacerdotibus de Sanctuario (omnes enim Sacerdotes, qui ibi potuerant inveniri, sanctificati sunt: nec adhuc in illo tempore vices, et ministeriorum ordo inter eos divisus erat)
12 and the Levites the singers, all they of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, clad in byssus, with cymbals and lutes and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets),
tam Levitæ quam cantores, id est, et qui sub Asaph erant, et qui sub Eman, et qui sub Idithun, filii, et fratres eorum vestiti byssinis, cymbalis, et psalteriis, et citharis concrepabant, stantes ad Orientalem plagam altaris, et cum eis sacerdotes centum viginti canentes tubis.
13 — it came to pass when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one voice to be heard in praising and thanking Jehovah; and when they lifted up their voice with trumpets, and cymbals, and instruments of music, and praised Jehovah: For he is good, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever; that then the house, the house of Jehovah, was filled with a cloud,
Igitur cunctis pariter, et tubis, et voce, et cymbalis, et organis, et diversi generis musicorum concinentibus, et vocem in sublime tollentibus; longe sonitus audiebatur, ita ut cum Dominum laudare cœpissent et dicere: Confitemini Domino quoniam bonus, quoniam in æternum misericordia eius; impleretur domus Dei nube,
14 and the priests could not stand to do their service because of the cloud; for the glory of Jehovah had filled the house of God.
nec possent Sacerdotes stare et ministrare propter caliginem. Compleverat enim gloria Domini domum Dei.
