< 2 Chronicles 5 >

1 Thus all the work that Solomon wrought for the house of the LORD was finished. And Solomon brought in the things that David his father had hallowed; even the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of the house of God.
وَاكْتَمَلَ جَمِيعُ الْعَمَلِ الَّذِي قَامَ بِهِ سُلَيْمَانُ لِبِنَاءِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، وَأَتَى بِكُلِّ مُدَّخَرَاتِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ الَّتِي كَرَّسَهَا مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ وَأَوَانٍ، وَجَعَلَهَا فِي مَخَازِنِ بَيْتِ اللهِ.١
2 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers' houses of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.
حِينَئِذٍ دَعَا سُلَيْمَانُ شُيُوخَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَكُلَّ رُؤَسَاءِ الأَسْبَاطِ وَالْعَائِلاتِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، لِيُحْضِرُوا تَابُوتَ عَهْدِ الرَّبِّ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ.٢
3 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king at the feast, which was in the seventh month.
فَالْتَفَّ حَوْلَ الْمَلِكِ جَمِيعُ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي أَثْنَاءِ عِيدِ الْمَظَالِّ الْوَاقِعِ فِي الشَّهْرِ السَّابِعِ.٣
4 And all the elders of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark.
وَبَعْدَ أَنْ حَضَرَ جَمِيعُ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، حَمَلَ اللّاوِيُّونَ التَّابُوتَ.٤
5 And they brought up the ark, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; these did the priests and the Levites bring up.
وَنَقَلَ الْكَهَنَةُ وَاللّاوِيُّونَ أَيْضاً خَيْمَةَ الاجْتِمَاعِ وَسَائِرَ آنِيَةِ الْقُدْسِ الَّتِي فِي الْخَيْمَةِ.٥
6 And king Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.
وَشَرَعَ الْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ وَكُلُّ الحَاضِرِينَ الْمُحْتَشِدِينَ أَمَامَ التَّابُوتِ يَذْبَحُونَ مَا لَا يُحْصَى وَلا يُعَدُّ مِنْ غَنَمٍ وَبَقَرٍ.٦
7 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto its place, into the Sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.
وَأَدْخَلَ الْكَهَنَةُ تَابُوتَ عَهْدِ الرَّبِّ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ فِي مِحْرَابِ الْهَيْكَلِ فِي قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ، تَحْتَ جَنَاحَيِ الْكَرُوبَيْنِ،٧
8 For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereof above.
اللَّذَيْنِ كَانَا بَاسِطَيْنِ أَجْنِحَتَهُمَا فَوْقَ مَوْضِعِ التَّابُوتِ مُظَلِّلَيْنِ التَّابُوتَ وَعِصِيَّهُ.٨
9 And the staves were so long that the ends of the staves were seen from the ark before the Sanctuary; but they could not be seen without; and there they are unto this day.
وَسَحَبُوا أَطْرَافَ الْعِصِيِّ فَبَدَتْ رُؤُوسُهَا فِي قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ أَمَامَ الْمِحْرَابِ وَلَمْ يَسْبِقْ أَنْ شُوهِدَتْ خَارِجَةً مِنْ حَلَقَاتِهَا وَهِيَ مَا بَرِحَتْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ.٩
10 There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.
وَلَمْ يَكُنِ التَّابُوتُ يَضُمُّ سِوَى لَوْحَيِ الْحَجَرِ اللَّذَيْنِ وَضَعَهُمَا مُوسَى هُنَاكَ فِي حُورِيبَ حِينَ عَاهَدَ الرَّبُّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لَدَى خُرُوجِهِمْ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ.١٠
11 And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place — for all the priests that were present had sanctified themselves, and did not keep their courses;
ثُمَّ خَرَجَ الْكَهَنَةُ مِنَ الْقُدْسِ. وَكَانَ جَمِيعُ الْكَهَنَةِ الْحَاضِرِينَ قَدْ تَقَدَّسُوا بِغَضِّ النَّظَرِ عَنِ الْفِرَقِ الَّتِي يَنْتَمُونَ إِلَيْهَا.١١
12 also the Levites who were the singers, all of them, even Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and their brethren, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets —
وَلَبِسَ اللّاوِيُّونَ الْمُغَنُّونَ أَجْمَعُونَ كَتَّاناً، وَعَلَى رَأْسِهِمْ آسَافُ وَهَيْمَانُ وَيَدُوثُونُ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُمْ وَأَقْرِبَاؤُهُمْ، وَرَاحُوا يَعْزِفُونَ عَلَى الصُّنُوجِ وَالرَّبَابِ وَالْعِيدَانِ وَهُمْ وَاقِفُونَ شَرْقِيَّ الْمَذْبَحِ، يُرَافِقُهُمْ مِئَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ كَاهِناً يَنْفُخُونَ بِالأَبْوَاقِ.١٢
13 it came even to pass, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD: 'for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever'; that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD,
وَعِنْدَمَا تَنَاغَمَتْ أَصْوَاتُ الأَبْوَاقِ وَالْمُغَنِّينَ وَكَأَنَّهَا صَوْتٌ وَاحِدٌ يَتَغَنَّى بِحَمْدِ الرَّبِّ وَتَسْبِيحِهِ، ارْتَفَعَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمْ بِالْغِنَاءِ، مَصْحُوبَةً بِنَغَمَاتِ الأَبْوَاقِ وَعَزْفِ الصُّنُوجِ مُرَنِّمِينَ لِلرَّبِّ قَائِلِينَ: «الرَّبُّ صَالِحٌ وَرَحْمَتُهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ تَدُومُ». فَامْتلأَ الْهَيْكَلُ سَحَاباً.١٣
14 so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of God.
وَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعِ الْكَهَنَةُ الْقِيَامَ بِالْخِدْمَةِ بِسَبَبِ السَّحَابِ لأَنَّ مَجْدَ الرَّبِّ مَلأَ الْهَيْكَلَ.١٤
