2 Chronicles 5
1 Once Solomon had finished all the work on the house of the Lord, he brought the holy items of his father David had dedicated—the silver, the gold, and all the various worship items—and he placed them in the treasuries of God's Temple.
Da hele Arbejdet, som Salomo lod udføre ved HERRENs Hus, var færdigt, bragte Salomo sin Fader Davids Helliggaver, Sølvet og Guldet, derind og lagde alle Tingene i Skatkamrene i Guds Hus.
2 Then Solomon summoned to Jerusalem the elders of Israel—all the heads of the tribes and family leaders of the Israelites—to bring the Ark of the Lord's Agreement from Zion, the City of David.
Derpå kaldte Salomo Israels Ældste og alle Stammernes Overhoveder, Israeliternes Fædrenehuses Øverster, sammen i Jerusalem for at føre HERRENs Pagts Ark op fra Davidsbyen, det er Zion.
3 So all the Israelites gathered to be with the king at the feast which is in the seventh month.
Så samledes alle Israels Mænd hos Kongen på Højtiden i Etanim Måned, det er den syvende Måned.
4 When all the elders of Israel had arrived, the Levites lifted up the Ark.
Og alle Israels Ældste kom, og Leviterne har Arken.
5 The priests and Levites brought up the Ark, the Tent of Meeting, were with him were there in front of the Ark.
Og de bragte Arken op tillige med Åbenbaringsteltett og alle de hellige Ting, der var i Teltet; Præsterne og Leviterne bragte dem op:
6 They sacrificed so many sheep and cattle that they couldn't be counted!
Og Kong Salomo tillige med hele Israels Menighed, som havde givet Møde hos ham foran Arken, ofrede Småkvæg og Hornkvæg, så meget, at det ikke var til at tælle eller overse.
7 Then the priests brought the Ark of the Lord's Agreement and put placed it in the inner sanctuary of the Temple, the Most Holy Place, beneath the wings of the cherubim.
Så førte Præsterne HERRENs Pagts Ark ind på dens Plads i Templets Inderhal, det Allerhelligste, og stillede den under Kerubernes Vinger;
8 The cherubim were spreading their wings over the place where the Ark was, so that the cherubim made a covering above the Ark and its poles.
og Keruberne udbredte deres Vinger over Pladsen, hvor Arken stod, og således dannede Keruberne et Dække over Arken og dens Bærestænger.
9 The poles were so long that their ends could be seen from the Holy Place in front of the Most Holy Place, but not from outside. They are there to this day.
Stængerne var så lange, at Enderne af dem kunde ses fra det Hellige foran Inderhallen, men de kunde ikke ses længere ude; og de er der den Dag i Dag.
10 Inside the Ark there was nothing except the two stone tablets that Moses had placed in it at Mount Sinai, where the Lord had made an agreement with the people of Israel when they came out of Egypt.
Der var ikke andet i Arken end de to Tavler, Moses havde lagt ned i den på Horeb, Tavlerne med den Pagt, HERREN havde sluttet med Israeliterne, da de drog bort fra Ægypten.
11 Then the priests came out of the Holy Place. All the priests who were there had purified themselves, whatever their division.
Da Præsteme derpå gik ud af Helligdommen - alle de Præster, der var til Stede, havde nemlig helliget sig uden Hensyn til Skifterne;
12 All the Levites who were singers—Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and relatives—stood on the east side of the altar. They were dressed in fine linen, striking cymbals, playing harps and lyres, and accompanied by one hundred and twenty priests sounding trumpets.
og alle de levitiske Sangere, Asaf, Heman og Jedutun tillige med deres Sønner og Brødre stod østen for Alteret i Klæder af fint Linned med Cymbler, Harper og Citre, og sammen med dem stod 120 Præster, der blæste i Trompeter -
13 The trumpeters and singers joined together with one voice to praise and thank the Lord. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and musical instruments, the singers raised their voices, praising the Lord: “For he is good; his trustworthy love lasts forever.” Then the Temple, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud.
i samme Øjeblik som Trompetblæserne og Sangerne på een Gang stemte i for at love og prise HERREN og lod Trompeterne, Cymblerne og Musikinstrumenterne klinge og lovede HERREN med Ordene "thi han er god, og hans Miskundhed varer evindelig!" - fyldte Skyen HERRENs Hus,
14 The priests could not stand up to continue with the service because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord had filled the Temple of God.
så at Præsterne af Skyen hindredes i at stå og udføre deres Tjeneste, thi HERRENs Herlighed fyldte Guds Hus.
