< 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.
Rĩrĩa wĩra wothe ũrĩa Solomoni aarutagĩra hekarũ ya Jehova warĩkire-rĩ, akĩrehe indo iria ciamũrĩtwo nĩ ithe Daudi, nacio nĩ betha na thahabu na indo cia thĩinĩ, agĩciiga harĩa haigagwo mĩthiithũ ya hekarũ ya Ngai.
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.
Ningĩ Solomoni agĩĩta athuuri a Isiraeli, na atongoria othe a mĩhĩrĩga, na anene a nyũmba cia andũ a Isiraeli, moke Jerusalemu nĩguo maambatie ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova kuuma Zayuni, Itũũra rĩrĩa Inene rĩa Daudi.
3 So all the Israelites gathered to be with the king at the feast which is in the seventh month.
Nao andũ othe a Isiraeli magĩũka hamwe kũrĩ mũthamaki hĩndĩ ya gĩathĩ, mweri-inĩ wa mũgwanja.
4 When all the elders of Israel had arrived, the Levites lifted up the Ark.
Rĩrĩa athuuri othe a Isiraeli maakinyire, Alawii makĩoya ithandũkũ rĩu,
5 The priests and Levites brought up the Ark, the Tent of Meeting, were with him were there in front of the Ark.
nao makĩambatia ithandũkũ, hamwe na Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, na indo ciothe iria nyamũre ciarĩ thĩinĩ wayo. Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai, arĩa maarĩ Alawii, magĩciambatia;
6 They sacrificed so many sheep and cattle that they couldn't be counted!
nake Mũthamaki Solomoni na kĩũngano gĩothe kĩa Isiraeli kĩrĩa gĩacemanĩtie harĩ we marĩ mbere ya ithandũkũ rĩu, makĩruta magongona ma ngʼondu na ngʼombe nyingĩ mũno, ũũ atĩ itingĩandĩkirwo mũigana wacio kana itarĩke.
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.
Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai magĩcooka makĩrehe ithandũkũ rĩu rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova handũ harĩo harĩa haamũre thĩinĩ wa hekarũ, ũguo nĩ ta kuuga Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno, makĩrĩiga rungu rwa mathagu ma makerubi.
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.
Makerubi macio maatambũrũkĩtie mathagu mamo igũrũ rĩa harĩa haigĩtwo ithandũkũ rĩu, makahumbĩra ithandũkũ o hamwe na mĩtĩ yarĩo ya kũrĩkuua.
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.
Mĩtĩ ĩyo yarĩ mĩraihu mũno ũũ atĩ mĩthia yayo, yumĩte ithandũkũ-inĩ, nĩĩngĩonekanire nĩ mũndũ arĩ hau mbere ya harĩa haamũre, no ndĩonekaga nĩ mũndũ arĩ nja ya Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru; na ĩrĩ o ho nginya ũmũthĩ.
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.
Thĩinĩ wa ithandũkũ rĩu gũtiarĩ na kĩndũ kĩngĩ tiga o ihengere iria igĩrĩ Musa aaigĩte ho rĩrĩa aarĩ Horebu, kũrĩa Jehova aarĩkanĩire kĩrĩkanĩro na andũ a Isiraeli maarĩkia kuuma Misiri.
11 Then the priests came out of the Holy Place. All the priests who were there had purified themselves, whatever their division.
Ningĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai makĩehera makiuma Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru. Athĩnjĩri-Ngai othe arĩa maarĩ hau nĩmetheretie matekũrũmbũiya ikundi ciao.
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.
Nao Alawii othe arĩa maarĩ aini, nĩo Asafu, na Hemani na Jeduthuni na ariũ ao na andũ ao, makĩrũgama mwena wa irathĩro wa kĩgongona, mehumbĩte gatani iria njega, marĩ na thaani iria ihũũrithanagio ikagamba, na inanda cia mũgeeto, na cia kĩnũbi. Moimĩtwo thuutha nĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai 120 makĩhuhaga tũrumbeta.
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.
Ahuhi tũrumbeta na aini makĩamũkĩria na mũgambo ũmwe magĩcookeria Jehova ngaatho na makĩmũgooca. Marĩ na tũrumbeta, na thaani iria ihũũrithanagio ikagamba na indo iria ingĩ cia ũini, makĩanĩrĩra makĩgooca Jehova na makĩina makiugaga atĩrĩ: “Jehova nĩ mwega; wendo wake ũtũũraga nginya tene.” Hĩndĩ ĩyo hekarũ ya Jehova ĩkĩiyũra itu,
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.
nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai matingĩahotire kũruta wĩra wao nĩ ũndũ wa itu rĩu, nĩgũkorwo riiri wa Jehova nĩwaiyũrire hekarũ ĩyo ya Ngai.
