< 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.
Mgbe a rụzuru ọrụ niile nke eze Solomọn nwere ịrụ maka ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị ahụ, o webatara ihe niile Devid bụ nna ya doro nsọ nʼime ya, ya bụ ọlaọcha, ọlaedo na ngwongwo ndị ọzọ niile. O tinyere ha nʼụlọakụ dị nʼụlọnsọ Chineke.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Solomọn kpọkọtara ndị okenye Izrel niile, na ndịisi ebo Izrel niile, na ndịisi ezinaụlọ Izrel niile na Jerusalem, maka ị site na Zayọn, bụ obodo Devid bugota igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị.
3 So all the Israelites gathered to be with the king at the feast which is in the seventh month.
Ndị Izrel niile gbakọtara bịakwute eze nʼoge a na-eme mmemme nʼọnwa Etanim, nke bụ ọnwa asaa nʼafọ.
4 When all the elders of Israel had arrived, the Levites lifted up the Ark.
Mgbe ndị okenye Izrel niile bịarutere, ndị Livayị buliri igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ.
5 The priests and Levites brought up the Ark, the Tent of Meeting, were with him were there in front of the Ark.
Ha bugotara igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị, ya na ụlọ nzute, na ngwongwo niile dị nsọ dị nʼime ya. Ndị nchụaja bụ ndị Livayị buliri ha elu.
6 They sacrificed so many sheep and cattle that they couldn't be counted!
Eze Solomọn na ọgbakọ Izrel niile, bụ ndị zukọtara nʼebe ọ nọ, nọ nʼihu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, na-achụ aja ọtụtụ atụrụ na ọtụtụ ehi nke a na-apụghị ịgụta ọnụ maọbụ gbakọta ọnụọgụgụ ha nʼihi ịba ụba.
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.
Ndị nchụaja bubatara igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị ahụ nʼime ime ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, nʼime Ebe Kachasị Nsọ, dọba ya nʼokpuru nku cherubim ahụ.
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.
Cherubim ndị ahụ gbasara nku ha nʼelu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, kpuchie ya na okporo osisi ndị ahụ e ji ebu ya.
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.
Okporo osisi ndị a dị oke ogologo, na isi ha sitere nʼigbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ na-apụta, na e nwere ike ị site nʼihu ime ime ebe nsọ ahụ hụ ha anya, ma onye na-anọghị nʼEbe Nsọ ahụ adịghị ahụ ha. Ha ka dịkwa nʼebe ahụ ruo taa
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.
O nweghị ihe dị nʼime igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, karịakwa mbadamba nkume abụọ ahụ Mosis tinyere nʼime ya nʼugwu Horeb, nʼebe Onyenwe anyị na ụmụ Izrel gbara ndụ, mgbe ha si nʼala Ijipt pụta.
11 Then the priests came out of the Holy Place. All the priests who were there had purified themselves, whatever their division.
Mgbe ndị nchụaja sitere nʼEbe Nsọ Kachasị Ebe Nsọ pụta, nʼihi na ndị nchụaja ahụ niile doro onwe ha nsọ nʼagbanyeghị usuu nke onye ọbụla nʼime ha si pụta.
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.
Ma ndị Livayị bụ ndị ọbụ abụ, ya bụ Asaf, Heman, Jedutun na ụmụ ha ndị ikom na ndị ikwu ha guzoro onwe ha nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ nke ebe ịchụ aja. Ha yi uwe ezi akwa ọcha ma na-akpọ ụbọ akwara, na-akụkwa ogene ọla. Ndị nchụaja dị otu narị na iri abụọ nʼọnụọgụgụ. Ndị na-afụ opi sokwa ha.
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.
Ndị ọbụ abụ ahụ na ndị na-afụ opi jikọrọ onwe ha ọnụ were otu olu bụkuo Onyenwe anyị abụ ekele na otuto.

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.
