2 Chronicles 5
1 And all the work that Solomon made for the house of YHWH is finished, and Solomon brings in the sanctified things of his father David, and the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels he has put among the treasures of the house of God.
[聖殿落成]撒羅滿為上主的殿所作的一切工作完成了以後，遂將他父親達味所奉獻的禮品，金銀和所有的器具運上來，存放在天主殿宇的府庫裏。 [迎約櫃入聖殿]
2 Then Solomon assembles the elderly of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, princes of the fathers of the sons of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH from the City of David—it [is] Zion.
那時，撒羅滿召集以色列的長老，各支派的首領和以色列子民各家族長，到耶路撒冷，機上主的約櫃從達味城，即熙雍運上來。
3 And all the men of Israel are assembled to the king in the celebration—it [is] the seventh month;
以色列人於是在七月的節日，都聚集到君王那裏。
4 and all [the] elderly of Israel come in, and the Levites lift up the Ark,
以色列所有的長老一來到，肋未人便抬起約櫃，
5 and they bring up the Ark, and the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that [are] in the tent; the priests, the Levites, have brought them up;
將約櫃和會幕內所有的聖器都抬上來；抬運的都是司祭和肋未人。
6 and King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel who are convened to him before the Ark are sacrificing sheep and oxen that are not counted nor numbered from multitude.
撒羅滿王和聚集在他那裏的以色列全會眾，在約櫃前宰殺了牛羊，多得無法計算，不可勝數。
7 And the priests bring in the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH to its place, to the oracle of the house, to the Holy of Holies, to the place of the wings of the cherubim;
司祭們將上主的約櫃抬到殿的內部，即至聖所內，放在革魯賓的翅膀下，那早已預備的地方。
8 and the cherubim are spreading out wings over the place of the Ark, and the cherubim cover over the Ark, and over its poles, from above;
革魯賓伸開翅膀遮在約櫃的所在之上，所以革魯賓在上面正遮著約櫃和抬櫃的扛桿。
9 and they lengthen the poles, and the heads of the poles are seen out of the Ark on the front of the oracle, and they are not seen outside; and it is there to this day.
這扛桿很長，扛頭從內殿前的聖所裏可以看見，在殿外卻看不見；直到今天還在那裏。
10 There is nothing in the Ark but the two tablets that Moses gave in Horeb, where YHWH covenanted with the sons of Israel, in their going out from Egypt.
約櫃內除了兩塊石版，沒有別的東西：這是以色列子民出埃及後，上主與他們立約時，梅瑟在曷勒布山放在裏面的。[上主顯示榮耀]
11 And it comes to pass, in the going out of the priests from the holy place—for all the priests who are present have sanctified themselves, there is none to watch by divisions,
當司祭從聖所出來時，─因為所有在場的司祭都自潔過，未分班次，
12 and the Levites, the singers, to all of them, to Asaph, to Heman, to Jeduthun, and to their sons, and to their brothers, clothed in white linen, with cymbals, and with psalteries, and harps, are standing on the east of the altar, and with them one hundred and twenty priests blowing with trumpets—
全體歌唱的肋未人，阿撒夫、赫曼、耶杜通，和他們的兒子以及他們同族的弟兄，一律穿著細麻的衣服，站在祭壇的東面，擊鈸、鼓瑟、彈琴；同他們在一起的，尚有一百二十位司祭吹號筒，─
13 indeed, it comes to pass, trumpeters and singers [are] as one, to sound [with] one voice—to praise and to give thanks to YHWH, and at the lifting up of the sound with trumpets, and with cymbals, and with instruments of song, and at giving praise to YHWH, [saying], “For [He is] good, for His kindness [is] for all time,” that the house is filled with a cloud—the house of YHWH,
吹號筒的和歌唱的人都同聲同調讚美上主。當他們配合號筒鐃鈸和各種樂器，高聲讚美上主說：「因為他是聖善的，因為他的仁慈永遠常存」時，雲彩充滿了聖殿，即上主的殿，
14 and the priests have not been able to stand to minister from the presence of the cloud, for the glory of YHWH has filled the house of God.
致使司祭由於雲彩不能繼續奉職，因為上主的光榮充滿了天主的殿。
