< 2 Chronicles 5 >
1 Thus all the work that Solomon made for the house of the LORD was finished: and Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and all the instruments, put he among the treasures of the house of God.
Då no heile det arbeidet var ferdigt som Salomo let gjera åt Herrens hus, då førde Salomo inn dit heilaggåvorne åt David, far sin: sylvet og gullet og alle gognerne lagde han ned i skattkammeri i Guds hus.
2 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers 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.
So kalla Salomo saman styresmennerne i Israel og alle ættarhovdingarne, formennerne for ættgreinerne åt Israels-sønerne, til Jerusalem for å føra Herrens sambandskista upp ifrå Davidsbyen, det er Sion.
3 Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king in the feast which was in the seventh month.
Då samla alle Israels-mennerne seg hjå kongen i helgi; det er den sjuande månaden.
4 And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up the ark.
Og alle styresmennerne i Israel kom, og levitarne bar kista.
5 And they brought up the ark, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, these did the priests and the Levites bring up.
Og dei førde kista og møtetjeldet dit upp og alle dei heilaggognerne som var i tjeldet, og prestarne og levitarne bar deim.
6 Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled unto him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor numbered for multitude.
Og kong Salomo og heile Israels-lyden, som hadde samla seg hjå honom, dei stod framfyre kista og ofra småfe og storfe, so mange at dei ikkje kunde reknast eller teljast.
7 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, to the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims:
So førde prestarne Herrens sambandskista inn på staden sin i koren i huset, i det høgheilage, under vengjerne åt kerubarne.
8 For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above.
Og kerubarne breidde ut vengjerne sine yver den staden der kista stod, og soleis tekte kerubarne yver kista og berestengerne hennar.
9 And they drew out the staves of the ark, that the ends of the staves were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without. And there it is unto this day.
Berestengerne var so lange at ein såg stongendarne som stod fram frå kista, framanfor koren; men ein såg deim ikkje utanfor. Og dei vart verande der til den dag i dag.
10 There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put therein at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.
Det fanst ikkje anna i kista enn dei tvo tavlorne som Moses hadde lagt ned i henne ved Horeb, då Herren gjorde samband med Israels-borni då dei drog ut or Egyptarland.
11 And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place: (for all the priests that were present were sanctified, and did not then wait by course:
Då prestarne so gjekk ut or heilagdomen, for alle dei prestarne som var der, hadde vigt seg, so det var ikkje naudsynlegt å halda seg etter skifti,
12 Also the Levites which were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, being arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them an hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets: )
og alle dei levitiske songararne, både Asaf, Heman og Jedutun og sønerne og brørne deira, stod i kvite linklæde med cymblar, harpor og cithrar austanfor altaret, og hjå deim hundrad og tjuge prestar som bles i lurar,
13 It came even to pass, as 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, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endures for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD;
og i same augneblinken då lurblåsarane og songarane sette i alle som ein med å lova og prisa Herren, og dei let lurarne og cymblarne og spelgognerne klinga, og lova Herren for han er god, og hans miskunn varer æveleg - då vart huset, Herrens hus, fyllt av ei sky,
14 So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God.
so prestarne kunde ikkje standa og gjera tenesta for skuld skyi; for Herrens herlegdom fyllte Guds hus.
