2 Chronicles 5
1 And it was complete all the work which he had done Solomon for [the] house of Yahweh. And he brought Solomon [the] holy things of - David father his and the silver and the gold and all the articles he put in [the] treasuries of [the] house of God.
Hivyo Solomoni alipomaliza kazi ya Hekalu la Bwana, akaviingiza ndani vile vitu ambavyo Daudi baba yake alikuwa ameviweka wakfu: yaani, fedha, dhahabu na samani; kisha akaviweka katika hazina za Hekalu la Mungu.
2 Then he called together Solomon [the] elders of Israel and all [the] chiefs of the tribes [the] leaders of the fathers of [the] people of Israel to Jerusalem to bring up [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh from [the] city of David it [is] Zion.
Kisha Solomoni akawaita huko Yerusalemu wazee wa Israeli, viongozi wote wa makabila na wakuu wa jamaa za Waisraeli, ili walilete Sanduku la Agano la Bwana kutoka Sayuni, Mji wa Daudi.
3 And they assembled to the king every person of Israel at the festival it [was] the month seventh.
Nao wanaume wote wa Israeli wakakusanyika kwa mfalme wakati wa sikukuu mwezi wa saba.
4 And they came all [the] elders of Israel and they lifted the Levites the ark.
Wazee wote wa Israeli walipofika, Walawi wakajitwika Sanduku la Agano,
5 And they brought up the ark and [the] tent of meeting and all [the] articles of holiness which [were] in the tent they brought up them the priests the Levites.
nao wakalipandisha Sanduku na Hema la Kukutania pamoja na vyombo vyote vitakatifu vilivyokuwa ndani yake. Makuhani, waliokuwa Walawi, walivibeba vitu hivyo,
6 And the king Solomon and all [the] congregation of Israel who were gathered with him before the ark [were] sacrificing sheep and cattle which not they were counted and not they were numbered from multitude.
naye Mfalme Solomoni na kusanyiko lote la Israeli waliokusanyika kumzunguka walikuwa mbele ya hilo Sanduku, nao wakatoa dhabihu nyingi za kondoo na ngʼombe ambao idadi yao haikuwezekana kuandikwa au kuhesabiwa.
7 And they brought the priests [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh to place its to [the] innermost room of the house to [the] holy place of the holy places to under [the] wings of the cherubim.
Makuhani wakalileta Sanduku la Agano la Bwana hadi mahali pake ndani ya sehemu takatifu ndani ya Hekalu, yaani Patakatifu pa Patakatifu, na kuliweka chini ya mabawa ya makerubi.
8 And they were the cherubim spreading out wings over [the] place of the ark and they covered the cherubim over the ark and over poles its from to above.
Makerubi yalitandaza mabawa yao juu ya mahali pa Sanduku la Agano na kufunika Sanduku na mipiko yake ya kubebea.
9 And they were long the poles and they were visible [the] heads of the poles from the ark on [the] face of the innermost room and not they were visible the outside towards and it was there until the day this.
Mipiko hiyo ilikuwa mirefu sana kiasi kwamba ncha zake zilizojitokeza kutoka kwenye Sanduku, nazo zilionekana ukiwa mbele ya Patakatifu pa Patakatifu, lakini sio nje ya Mahali Patakatifu. Hiyo mipiko ipo hata leo.
10 There not [was] in the ark only [the] two the tablets which he put Moses at Horeb where he made Yahweh with [the] people of Israel when came out they from Egypt.
Ndani ya Sanduku hapakuwepo kitu kingine chochote isipokuwa zile mbao mbili ambazo Mose alikuwa ameziweka ndani yake huko Horebu, mahali ambapo Bwana alifanya Agano na Waisraeli baada ya kutoka Misri.
11 And it was when came out the priests from the holy place for all the priests who were found they had consecrated themselves not to keep to divisions.
Basi makuhani wakaondoka hapo Mahali Patakatifu. Makuhani wote waliokuwa huko walikuwa wamejiweka wakfu, bila kujali migawanyo yao.
12 And the Levites the singers all of them Asaph Heman Jeduthun and sons their and relatives their [were] fully clothed fine linen with cymbals and with lyres and harps [were] standing east of the altar and [were] with them priests of one hundred and twenty ([who were] blowing a trumpet *Q(k)*) on trumpets.
Walawi wote waliokuwa waimbaji, yaani, Asafu, Hemani, Yeduthuni, wana wa ndugu zao, walisimama upande wa mashariki wa madhabahu, wakiwa wamevaa kitani safi huku wakipiga matoazi, vinubi na zeze. Walikuwa pamoja na makuhani 120 wakipiga tarumbeta.
13 And it belonged as one (to the trumpeters *Q(k)*) and to the singers to make heard a voice one to praise and to give thanks to Yahweh and just as lifted up a voice with trumpets and with [the] cymbals and with [the] instruments of song and when praised Yahweh for [he is] good for [is] for ever covenant loyalty his and the house it was full a cloud [the] house of Yahweh.
Wapiga tarumbeta na waimbaji wakaungana katika sauti linganifu, ikawa kama vile ni sauti moja, wakimsifu na kumshukuru Bwana, nao alipoinua sauti zao pamoja na tarumbeta na matoazi na vyombo vingine vya uimbaji, wakamsifu Bwana wakisema: “Yeye ni mwema; upendo wake unadumu milele.” Ndipo Hekalu la Bwana likajazwa na wingu,
14 And not they were able the priests to stand to serve because of the cloud for it filled [the] glory of Yahweh [the] house of God.
nao makuhani hawakuweza kufanya huduma yao kwa sababu ya lile wingu, kwa kuwa utukufu wa Bwana ulijaza Hekalu la Mungu.
