2 Chronicles 5
1 After Solomon’s workers had finished building the temple, Solomon put in the temple storage rooms everything that his father David had dedicated to Yahweh—all the silver and gold and all the other things that were used at the temple.
Rĩrĩa wĩra wothe ũrĩa Solomoni aarutagĩra hekarũ ya Jehova warĩkire-rĩ, akĩrehe indo iria ciamũrĩtwo nĩ ithe Daudi, nacio nĩ betha na thahabu na indo cia thĩinĩ, agĩciiga harĩa haigagwo mĩthiithũ ya hekarũ ya Ngai.
2 Then King Solomon summoned to Jerusalem all the elders of Israel, all the leaders of the tribes and of the families/clans. He wanted them to help to bring to the temple Yahweh’s Sacred Chest from Zion [Hill], where it was in [the part of the city called] ‘The City of David’.
Ningĩ Solomoni agĩĩta athuuri a Isiraeli, na atongoria othe a mĩhĩrĩga, na anene a nyũmba cia andũ a Isiraeli, moke Jerusalemu nĩguo maambatie ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova kuuma Zayuni, Itũũra rĩrĩa Inene rĩa Daudi.
3 So all the leaders of Israel gathered together along with the king, during the Festival of [Living in Temporary] Shelters, in October.
Nao andũ othe a Isiraeli magĩũka hamwe kũrĩ mũthamaki hĩndĩ ya gĩathĩ, mweri-inĩ wa mũgwanja.
4 When they had all arrived, the descendants of Levi lifted up the Sacred Chest,
Rĩrĩa athuuri othe a Isiraeli maakinyire, Alawii makĩoya ithandũkũ rĩu,
5 and they carried it and the Sacred Tent and the sacred things that were inside it. The priests, who were also descended from Levi, carried them.
nao makĩambatia ithandũkũ, hamwe na Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, na indo ciothe iria nyamũre ciarĩ thĩinĩ wayo. Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai, arĩa maarĩ Alawii, magĩciambatia;
6 King Solomon and many of the other people of Israel who had gathered there walked in front of the Sacred Chest. And they sacrificed a huge amount of sheep and cattle. No one was able to count them [because there were very many].
nake Mũthamaki Solomoni na kĩũngano gĩothe kĩa Isiraeli kĩrĩa gĩacemanĩtie harĩ we marĩ mbere ya ithandũkũ rĩu, makĩruta magongona ma ngʼondu na ngʼombe nyingĩ mũno, ũũ atĩ itingĩandĩkirwo mũigana wacio kana itarĩke.
7 The priests then brought the Sacred Chest into the Most Holy Place, the inner room of the temple, and they placed it under the wings of the statues of winged creatures.
Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai magĩcooka makĩrehe ithandũkũ rĩu rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova handũ harĩo harĩa haamũre thĩinĩ wa hekarũ, ũguo nĩ ta kuuga Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno, makĩrĩiga rungu rwa mathagu ma makerubi.
8 The wings of those statues spread out over the Sacred Chest and over the poles by which it was carried.
Makerubi macio maatambũrũkĩtie mathagu mamo igũrũ rĩa harĩa haigĩtwo ithandũkũ rĩu, makahumbĩra ithandũkũ o hamwe na mĩtĩ yarĩo ya kũrĩkuua.
9 The poles were very long, with the result that they could be seen by [those who were standing] at the entrance to the Most Holy Place, but they could not be seen by anyone standing outside the temple. Those poles are still there.
Mĩtĩ ĩyo yarĩ mĩraihu mũno ũũ atĩ mĩthia yayo, yumĩte ithandũkũ-inĩ, nĩĩngĩonekanire nĩ mũndũ arĩ hau mbere ya harĩa haamũre, no ndĩonekaga nĩ mũndũ arĩ nja ya Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru; na ĩrĩ o ho nginya ũmũthĩ.
10 The only things that were inside the Sacred Chest were the two stone tablets that Moses had put there at Sinai Mountain, where Yahweh made an agreement with the Israeli people after they came out of Egypt.
Thĩinĩ wa ithandũkũ rĩu gũtiarĩ na kĩndũ kĩngĩ tiga o ihengere iria igĩrĩ Musa aaigĩte ho rĩrĩa aarĩ Horebu, kũrĩa Jehova aarĩkanĩire kĩrĩkanĩro na andũ a Isiraeli maarĩkia kuuma Misiri.
11 Then the priests left the Holy Place. All the priests who were there, from every group, had performed the rituals to cause them to be acceptable to God.
Ningĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai makĩehera makiuma Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru. Athĩnjĩri-Ngai othe arĩa maarĩ hau nĩmetheretie matekũrũmbũiya ikundi ciao.
12 All the descendants of Levi who were musicians—Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, their sons and their other relatives—stood on the east side of the altar. They were wearing linen clothes, and they were playing cymbals, harps, and lyres. There were 120 other priests who were blowing trumpets.
Nao Alawii othe arĩa maarĩ aini, nĩo Asafu, na Hemani na Jeduthuni na ariũ ao na andũ ao, makĩrũgama mwena wa irathĩro wa kĩgongona, mehumbĩte gatani iria njega, marĩ na thaani iria ihũũrithanagio ikagamba, na inanda cia mũgeeto, na cia kĩnũbi. Moimĩtwo thuutha nĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai 120 makĩhuhaga tũrumbeta.
13 The men blowing trumpets, those playing the cymbals and other musical instruments, and the singers, made music together, praising Yahweh and singing this song: “Yahweh is good [to us]; he faithfully loves us forever.” Then [suddenly] the temple was filled with a cloud.
Ahuhi tũrumbeta na aini makĩamũkĩria na mũgambo ũmwe magĩcookeria Jehova ngaatho na makĩmũgooca. Marĩ na tũrumbeta, na thaani iria ihũũrithanagio ikagamba na indo iria ingĩ cia ũini, makĩanĩrĩra makĩgooca Jehova na makĩina makiugaga atĩrĩ: “Jehova nĩ mwega; wendo wake ũtũũraga nginya tene.” Hĩndĩ ĩyo hekarũ ya Jehova ĩkĩiyũra itu,
14 The glorious radiance of Yahweh filled the temple, with the result that the priests were not able to continue doing their work.
nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai matingĩahotire kũruta wĩra wao nĩ ũndũ wa itu rĩu, nĩgũkorwo riiri wa Jehova nĩwaiyũrire hekarũ ĩyo ya Ngai.
