Chronicles II 5
1 And Solomon brought in the holy things of his father David, the silver, and the gold, and the [other] vessels, and put them in the treasury of the house of the Lord.
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 all the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, [even] the leaders of the families of the children of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, —this [is] Sion.
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 Israel were assembled [to] the king in the feast, this [is] 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 all the Levites took up the ark,
Cuando todos los ancianos de Israel llegaron, los levitas alzaron el Arca.
5 and the tabernacle of witness, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle; and the priests and the Levites brought it 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 elders of Israel, and the religious of them, and they of them that were gathered before the ark, [were] sacrificing calves and sheep, which could not be numbered or reckoned 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 into its place, into the oracle of the house, [even] into the holy of holies, under the wings of the cherubs.
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 And the cherubs stretched out their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubs covered the ark, and its staves 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 projected, and the heads of the staves were seen from the holy place in front of the oracle, they were not seen without: and there they were to 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 except the two tables which Moses placed [there] in Choreb, which God gave in covenant with the children of Israel, when they went out of the land 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 when out of the holy place, (for all the priests that were found were sanctified, they were not [then] arranged according to their daily course, )
Aconteció que cuando los sacerdotes salían del Santuario (porque todos los sacerdotes presentes se purificaron sin tener en cuenta las clases),
12 that all the singing Levites [assigned] to the sons of Asaph, to Aeman, to Idithun, and to his sons, and to his brethren, of them that were clothed in linen garments, with cymbals and lutes and harps, [were] standing before the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests, blowing 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 And there was one voice in the trumpeting and in the psalm-singing, and in the loud utterance with one voice to give thanks and praise the Lord; and when they raised their voice together with trumpets and cymbals, and instruments of music, and said, Give thanks to the Lord, for [it is] good, for his mercy [endures] for ever: —then the house was filled with the cloud of the glory 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 And the priests could not stand to minister because 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.
