2 Chronicles 5
1 Thus was perfected, all the work, which Solomon made, for the house of Yahweh, —and Solomon brought in the hallowed things of David his father, the silver, and the gold, and all the utensils, placed he, in the treasuries of the house of God.
Da hele Arbejdet, som Salomo lod udføre ved HERRENs Hus, var færdigt, bragte Salomo sin Fader Davids Helliggaver, Sølvet og Guldet, derind og lagde alle Tingene i Skatkamrene i Guds Hus.
2 Then, Solomon called together the elders of Israel, and all the chiefs of the tribes, the ancestral leaders of the sons of Israel, unto Jerusalem, —to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh out of the city of David, the same, is Zion.
Derpå kaldte Salomo Israels Ældste og alle Stammernes Overhoveder, Israeliternes Fædrenehuses Øverster, sammen i Jerusalem for at føre HERRENs Pagts Ark op fra Davidsbyen, det er Zion.
3 And all the men of Israel came together unto the king, in the festival, —the same, was the seventh month.
Så samledes alle Israels Mænd hos Kongen på Højtiden i Etanim Måned, det er den syvende Måned.
4 And all the elders of Israel came in, —and the Levites bare the ark;
Og alle Israels Ældste kom, og Leviterne har Arken.
5 and they brought up the ark, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy utensils, that were in the tent, —the priests the Levites did bring them up.
Og de bragte Arken op tillige med Åbenbaringsteltett og alle de hellige Ting, der var i Teltet; Præsterne og Leviterne bragte dem op:
6 And, King Solomon, and all the assembly of Israel who assembled themselves unto him, before the ark, were sacrificing sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor could they be counted, for multitude.
Og Kong Salomo tillige med hele Israels Menighed, som havde givet Møde hos ham foran Arken, ofrede Småkvæg og Hornkvæg, så meget, at det ikke var til at tælle eller overse.
7 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Yahweh into the place thereof, into the shrine of the house, into the holy of holies, —into [the place] beneath the wings of the cherubim; —
Så førte Præsterne HERRENs Pagts Ark ind på dens Plads i Templets Inderhal, det Allerhelligste, og stillede den under Kerubernes Vinger;
8 for the cherubim were spreading forth two wings, over the place of the ark, —so that the cherubim formed a covering over the ark and over the staves thereof, from above.
og Keruberne udbredte deres Vinger over Pladsen, hvor Arken stod, og således dannede Keruberne et Dække over Arken og dens Bærestænger.
9 And they drew out the staves, and the heads of the staves could be seen out of the ark, in front of the shrine, although they could not be seen on the outside, —and it came to pass that they have remained there—unto this day.
Stængerne var så lange, at Enderne af dem kunde ses fra det Hellige foran Inderhallen, men de kunde ikke ses længere ude; og de er der den Dag i Dag.
10 There was, nothing in the ark, save only the two tables, which Moses placed [therein] in Horeb, —when Yahweh made a covenant with the sons of Israel, when they came forth out of Egypt.
Der var ikke andet i Arken end de to Tavler, Moses havde lagt ned i den på Horeb, Tavlerne med den Pagt, HERREN havde sluttet med Israeliterne, da de drog bort fra Ægypten.
11 And it came to pass, when the priests, came forth, out of the holy place, —for, all the priests who were present, had hallowed themselves, they had no need to observe the courses;
Da Præsteme derpå gik ud af Helligdommen - alle de Præster, der var til Stede, havde nemlig helliget sig uden Hensyn til Skifterne;
12 and, the Levites who were the singers, even all of them pertaining to Asaph, to Heman, to Jeduthun, and to their sons and to their brethren, arrayed in white linen, with cymbals and with harps and lyres, stood eastward of the altar, —and, with them, priests to the number of a hundred-and-twenty, blowing with trumpets,
og alle de levitiske Sangere, Asaf, Heman og Jedutun tillige med deres Sønner og Brødre stod østen for Alteret i Klæder af fint Linned med Cymbler, Harper og Citre, og sammen med dem stod 120 Præster, der blæste i Trompeter -
13 then came it to pass, when the trumpeters and the singers were, as one, to make one sound to be heard in offering praise and giving thanks unto Yahweh—yea when they did lift on high the voice, with the trumpets and with the cymbals and with the instruments of song, yea in offering praise unto Yahweh—For he is good, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness, that, the house, was filled with the cloud of the glory of Yahweh;
i samme Øjeblik som Trompetblæserne og Sangerne på een Gang stemte i for at love og prise HERREN og lod Trompeterne, Cymblerne og Musikinstrumenterne klinge og lovede HERREN med Ordene "thi han er god, og hans Miskundhed varer evindelig!" - fyldte Skyen HERRENs Hus,
14 and the priests could not stand to minister, by reason of the cloud, -for, the glory of Yahweh, filled, the house of God.
så at Præsterne af Skyen hindredes i at stå og udføre deres Tjeneste, thi HERRENs Herlighed fyldte Guds Hus.
