2 Chronicles 5
1 Thus all the work that Solomon did for the house of YHWH was finished. Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated, even the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of the house of God.
所罗门做完了耶和华殿的一切工，就把他父大卫分别为圣的金银和器皿都带来，放在 神殿的府库里。
2 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the ancestral leaders of the children of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of YHWH out of the City of David, which is Zion.
那时，所罗门将以色列的长老、各支派的首领，并以色列的族长招聚到耶路撒冷，要把耶和华的约柜从大卫城—就是锡安—运上来。
3 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves to the king at the feast, which was in the seventh month.
于是以色列众人在七月节前都聚集到王那里。
4 All the elders of Israel came: and the Levites took up the ark;
以色列众长老来到，利未人便抬起约柜。
5 and they brought up the ark, and the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; these the priests the Levites brought up.
祭司利未人将约柜运上来，又将会幕和会幕的一切圣器具都带上来。
6 King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled to him, were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle, that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.
所罗门王和聚集到他那里的以色列全会众都在约柜前献牛羊为祭，多得不可胜数。
7 The priests brought in the ark of the covenant of YHWH to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, under the wings of the cherubim.
祭司将耶和华的约柜抬进内殿，就是至圣所，放在两个基路伯的翅膀底下。
8 For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.
基路伯张着翅膀在约柜之上，遮掩约柜和抬柜的杠。
9 The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the inner sanctuary; but they were not seen outside. And they are there to this day.
这杠甚长，杠头在内殿前可以看见，在殿外却不能看见，直到如今还在那里。
10 There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets which Moses put at Horeb, when YHWH made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.
约柜里惟有两块石版，就是以色列人出埃及后，耶和华与他们立约的时候，摩西在何烈山所放的。除此以外，并无别物。
11 It happened, when the priests had come out of the holy place, (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, regardless of the divisions;
当时，在那里所有的祭司都已自洁，并不分班供职。
12 also the Levites who were the singers, all of them, even Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and their brothers, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals and stringed instruments and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them one hundred twenty priests sounding with trumpets; )
他们出圣所的时候，歌唱的利未人亚萨、希幔、耶杜顿，和他们的众子众弟兄都穿细麻布衣服，站在坛的东边，敲钹、鼓瑟、弹琴，同着他们有一百二十个祭司吹号。
13 it happened, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking YHWH; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised YHWH, saying, "For he is good; for his loving kindness endures forever," then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of YHWH,
吹号的、歌唱的都一齐发声，声合为一，赞美感谢耶和华。吹号、敲钹，用各种乐器，扬声赞美耶和华说： 耶和华本为善， 他的慈爱永远长存！ 那时，耶和华的殿有云充满，
14 so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of YHWH filled God's house.
甚至祭司不能站立供职，因为耶和华的荣光充满了 神的殿。
