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.
intulit igitur Salomon omnia quae voverat David pater suus argentum et aurum et universa vasa posuit in thesauris domus Dei
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.
post quae congregavit maiores natu Israhel et cunctos principes tribuum et capita familiarum de filiis Israhel in Hierusalem ut adducerent arcam foederis Domini de civitate David quae est Sion
3 So all the Israelites gathered to be with the king at the feast which is in the seventh month.
venerunt igitur ad regem omnes viri Israhel in die sollemni mensis septimi
4 When all the elders of Israel had arrived, the Levites lifted up the Ark.
cumque venissent cuncti seniorum Israhel portaverunt Levitae arcam
5 The priests and Levites brought up the Ark, the Tent of Meeting, were with him were there in front of the Ark.
et intulerunt eam et omnem paraturam tabernaculi porro vasa sanctuarii quae erant in tabernaculo portaverunt sacerdotes cum Levitis
6 They sacrificed so many sheep and cattle that they couldn't be counted!
rex autem Salomon et universus coetus Israhel et omnes qui fuerant congregati ante arcam immolabant arietes et boves absque ullo numero tanta enim erat multitudo victimarum
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.
et intulerunt sacerdotes arcam foederis Domini in locum suum id est ad oraculum templi in sancta sanctorum subter alas cherubin
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.
ita ut cherubin expanderent alas suas super locum in quo posita erat arca et ipsam arcam tegerent cum vectibus eius
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.
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 praesentem diem
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.
nihilque erat aliud in arca nisi duae tabulae quas posuerat Moses in Horeb quando legem dedit Dominus filiis Israhel egredientibus ex Aegypto
11 Then the priests came out of the Holy Place. All the priests who were there had purified themselves, whatever their division.
egressis autem sacerdotibus de sanctuario omnes enim sacerdotes qui ibi potuerant inveniri sanctificati sunt nec adhuc illo tempore vices et ministeriorum ordo inter eos divisus erat
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.
tam Levitae quam cantores id est et qui sub Asaph erant et qui sub Heman et qui sub Idithun filii et fratres eorum vestiti byssinis cymbalis et psalteriis et citharis concrepabant stantes ad orientalem plagam altaris cumque eis sacerdotes centum viginti canentes tubis
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.
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 coepissent et dicere confitemini Domino quoniam bonus quoniam in aeternum misericordia eius impleretur domus Domini nube
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.
nec possent sacerdotes stare et ministrare propter caliginem conpleverat enim gloria Domini domum Dei
