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.
Así se terminó la obra que Salomón hizo para la Casa de Yavé. Salomón introdujo los objetos que su padre David consagró: la plata, el oro y todos los utensilios. Los depositó en el tesoro de la Casa de ʼElohim.
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.
Después Salomón reunió en Jerusalén a los ancianos de Israel, todos los jefes de las tribus y los jefes de casas paternas de los hijos de Israel para subir el Arca del Pacto de Yavé desde la Ciudad de David, la cual es Sion.
3 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king at the feast, which was in the seventh month.
Todos los hombres de Israel se congregaron ante el rey en la solemnidad del mes séptimo.
4 And all the elders of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark.
Cuando todos los ancianos de Israel llegaron, los levitas alzaron el Arca.
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.
Los sacerdotes levitas subieron el Arca, el Tabernáculo de Reunión y todos los utensilios sagrados que había dentro del Tabernáculo.
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.
El rey Salomón y toda la congregación de Israel que se reunió con él delante del Arca sacrificaron ovejas y becerros, los cuales, a causa de su gran cantidad no se pudieron contar ni calcular.
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.
Entonces los sacerdotes introdujeron el Arca del Pacto de Yavé a su puesto en el Lugar Santísimo de la Casa debajo de las alas de los querubines,
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.
porque los querubines extienden las alas sobre el lugar del Arca, de modo que los querubines cubren el Arca y sus varas por encima.
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.
Aunque las varas eran tan largas que los extremos de ellas se podían ver desde el Lugar Santo que está frente al Lugar Santísimo, no podían verse desde afuera. Y así están hasta hoy.
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.
Dentro del Arca no había sino las dos tablas que Moisés puso allí en Horeb, donde Yavé pactó con los hijos de Israel después que salieron de Egipto.
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;
Aconteció que cuando los sacerdotes salían del Santuario (porque todos los sacerdotes presentes se purificaron sin tener en cuenta las clases),
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 —
y todos los levitas cantores, Asaf, Hemán y Jedutún, con sus hijos y hermanos, cubiertos con lino fino, estaban en pie con címbalos, salterios y arpas al oriente del altar, y con ellos 120 sacerdotes que tocaban trompetas,
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,
los trompetistas y los cantores se unieron para proclamar a una voz. Alababan y daban gracias a Yavé. Al alzar la voz con las trompetas, los címbalos y los otros instrumentos musicales, alababan a Yavé: Porque es bueno, porque para siempre es su misericordia, una nube llenó la Casa de Yavé.
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.
Los sacerdotes no pudieron continuar ministrando por causa de la nube, porque la gloria de Yavé llenó la Casa de ʼElohim.
