2 Chronicles 5
1 So was all the worke finished that Salomon made for the house of the Lord, and Salomon brought in the things that Dauid his father had dedicated, with the siluer and the golde, and all the vessels, and put them among the treasures of the house of God.
Usuphelile umsebenzi wonke uSolomoni ayewenzela indlu yeNkosi, wangenisa izinto ezingcwelisiweyo zikaDavida uyise, lesiliva legolide lazo zonke izitsha wazibeka esiphaleni senotho sendlu kaNkulunkulu.
2 Then Salomon assembled the Elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chiefe fathers of the children of Israel vnto Ierusalem to bring vp the Arke of the couenant of the Lord from the citie of Dauid, which is Zion.
Ngalesosikhathi uSolomoni wabuthanisa eJerusalema abadala bakoIsrayeli, lazo zonke inhloko zezizwe, izinduna zaboyise babantwana bakoIsrayeli, ukuthi benyuse umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi usuke emzini kaDavida oyiZiyoni.
3 And all ye men of Israel assembled vnto the King at the feast: it was in ye seuenth moneth.
Wonke amadoda akoIsrayeli asebuthana enkosini emkhosini owenyanga yesikhombisa.
4 And all the Elders of Israel came, and the Leuites tooke vp the Arke.
Labo bonke abadala bakoIsrayeli beza, amaLevi asewuthwala umtshokotsho,
5 And they caried vp the Arke and the Tabernacle of the Congregation: and all the holy vessels that were in the Tabernacle, those did the Priests and Leuites bring vp.
awuletha umtshokotsho lethente lenhlangano lazo zonke izitsha ezingcwele ezazisethenteni; abapristi lamaLevi basebekwenyusa.
6 And King Salomon and all the Congregation of Israel that were assembled vnto him, were before ye Arke, offring sheepe and bullocks, which could not be told nor nobred for multitude.
Inkosi uSolomoni lenhlangano yonke yakoIsrayeli eyayibuthene phambi komtshokotsho basebenikela imihlatshelo yezimvu lezinkabi ezingelakubhalwa lezingelakubalwa ngobunengi.
7 So the Priests brought the Arke of the couenant of the Lord vnto his place, into the Oracle of the house, into the most Holy place, euen vnder the wings of the Cherubims.
Abapristi basebewungenisa umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi endaweni yawo, endaweni yelizwi yendlu, kungcwele yezingcwele, kwaze kwaba ngaphansi kwempiko zamakherubhi.
8 For ye Cherubims stretched out their wings ouer the place of the Arke, and the Cherubims couered the Arke and the barres thereof aboue.
Ngoba amakherubhi elulela impiko zawo phezu kwendawo yomtshokotsho; amakherubhi awembesa umtshokotsho lemijabo yawo ngaphezulu.
9 And they drewe out the barres, that the endes of the barres might bee seene out of the Arke before the Oracle, but they were not seene without: and there they are vnto this day.
Basebeselula imijabo, izihloko zemijabo zaze zabonakala emtshokotshweni phambi kwendawo yelizwi, kodwa zingabonakali ngaphandle; ukhona lapho-ke kuze kube lamuhla.
10 Nothing was in the Arke, saue the two Tables, which Moses gaue at Horeb, where the Lord made a couenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.
Kwakungelalutho emtshokotshweni, ngaphandle kwezibhebhe ezimbili uMozisi azifaka khona eHorebe lapho iNkosi eyenza khona isivumelwano labantwana bakoIsrayeli ekuphumeni kwabo eGibhithe.
11 And when the Priestes were come out of the Sanctuarie (for all the Priests that were present, were sanctified and did not waite by course.
Kwasekusithi abapristi bephuma endaweni engcwele, ngoba bonke abapristi abatholakalayo babezihlambulule bengagcinanga izigaba,
12 And the Leuites the singers of all sortes, as of Asaph, of Heman, of Ieduthun, and of their sonnes and of their brethren, being clad in fine linen, stoode with cymbales, and with violes and harpes at the East ende of the altar, and with them an hundreth and twentie Priestes blowing with trumpets:
lamaLevi angabahlabeleli babo bonke - akoAsafi, akoHemani, akoJeduthuni, lakumadodana abo lakubafowabo - begqoke amalembu acolekileyo amhlophe, belezinsimbi ezincencethayo lezigubhu zezintambo lamachacho, bema ngempumalanga kwelathi; njalo kanye labo kulabapristi abalikhulu lamatshumi amabili bekhalisa izimpondo.
13 And they were as one, blowing trumpets, and singing, and made one sounde to bee heard in praysing and thanking the Lord, and when they lift vp their voyce with trumpets and with cymbales, and with instruments of musicke, and when they praysed the Lord, singing, For he is good, because his mercie lasteth for euer) then the house, euen the house of the Lord was filled with a cloude,
Kwasekusithi bekhalisa izimpondo behlabelela kanyekanye ukuzwakalisa umsindo owodwa, ukudumisa lokubonga iNkosi, lalapho bephakamisa ilizwi ngezimpondo langezinsimbi ezincencethayo lezinto zokuhlabelela, lalapho bedumisa iNkosi ukuthi ilungile lokuthi umusa wayo umi kuze kube phakade, indlu yagcwaliswa liyezi, indlu yeNkosi,
14 So that the Priests could not stand to minister, because of the cloude: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God.
abapristi kabaze baba lakho ukuma ukukhonza ngenxa yeyezi, ngoba inkazimulo yeNkosi yagcwalisa indlu kaNkulunkulu.
