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.
Intulit igitur Salomon omnia, quæ voverat David pater suus, argentum, et aurum, et universa vasa posuit in thesauris domus Dei.
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.
Post quæ congregavit maiores natu Israel, et cunctos principes tribuum, et capita familiarum de filiis Israel in Ierusalem, ut adducerent arcam fœderis Domini de Civitate David, quæ est Sion.
3 And all the men of Israel came together unto the king, in the festival, —the same, was the seventh month.
Venerunt itaque ad regem omnes viri Israel in die sollemni mensis septimi.
4 And all the elders of Israel came in, —and the Levites bare the ark;
Cumque venissent cuncti seniorum Israel, portaverunt Levitæ arcam,
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.
et intulerunt eam, et omnem paraturam tabernaculi. Porro vasa sanctuarii, quæ erant in tabernaculo, portaverunt Sacerdotes cum Levitis.
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.
Rex autem Salomon, et universus cœtus Israel, et omnes, qui fuerunt congregati ante arcam, immolabant arietes, et boves absque ullo numero: tanta enim erat multitudo victimarum.
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; —
Et intulerunt Sacerdotes arcam fœderis Domini in locum suum, id est, ad oraculum templi, in Sancta sanctorum subter alas cherubim:
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.
ita ut cherubim expanderent alas suas super locum, in quo posita erat arca, et ipsam arcam tegerent cum vectibus suis.
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.
Vectium autem, quibus portabatur arca, quia paululum longiores erant, capita parebant ante oraculum: si vero quis paululum fuisset extrinsecus, eos videre non poterat. Fuit itaque arca ibi usque in præsentem diem.
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.
Nihilque erat aliud in arca, nisi duæ tabulæ, quas posuerat Moyses in Horeb, quando legem dedit Dominus filiis Israel egredientibus ex Ægypto.
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;
Egressis autem Sacerdotibus de sanctuario (omnes enim Sacerdotes, qui ibi potuerant inveniri, sanctificati sunt: nec adhuc in illo tempore vices, et ministeriorum ordo inter eos divisus erat)
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,
tam Levitæ quam cantores, id est, et qui sub Asaph erant, et qui sub Eman, et qui sub Idithun, filii, et fratres eorum vestiti byssinis, cymbalis, et psalteriis, et citharis concrepabant, stantes ad Orientalem plagam altaris, et cum eis Sacerdotes centum viginti canentes tubis.
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;
Igitur cunctis pariter, et tubis, et voce, et cymbalis, et organis, et diversi generis musicorum concinentibus, et vocem in sublime tollentibus; longe sonitus audiebatur, ita ut cum Dominum laudare cœpissent et dicere: Confitemini Domino quoniam bonus, quoniam in æternum misericordia eius; impleretur domus Dei nube,
14 and the priests could not stand to minister, by reason of the cloud, -for, the glory of Yahweh, filled, the house of God.
nec possent Sacerdotes stare et ministrare propter caliginem. Compleverat enim gloria Domini domum Dei.
