Kronika 2 5

1 Esi Solomo wu dɔ siwo katã, hlɔ̃awo ƒe tatɔwo wòle be wòawɔ le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ ŋu nu la, etsɔ sika kple klosalo kple xɔmenu siwo katã ŋu fofoa, David kɔ la da ɖe Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ la ƒe nudzraɖoƒewo.

Then Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had vowed, the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels he put among the treasures of the house of God.

2 Azɔ la, Fia Solomo na Israel ƒe kplɔlawo katã, hlɔ̃memegãwo kple aƒekɔwo ƒe tatɔwo kpe ta ɖe Yerusalem hena Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la tsɔtsɔ tso agbadɔ la me le David ƒe Du si wogayɔna be Zion la me yi eƒe nɔƒe yeye la le gbedoxɔ la me.

And after this he gathered together the ancients of Israel, and all the princes of the tribes, and the heads of the families, of the children of Israel to Jerusalem, to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, which is Sion.

3 Israel ŋutsuwo katã va ƒo ƒu ɖe fia la gbɔ le Agbadɔmeŋkekenyui la ɖuɣi le ɣleti adrelia me.

And all the men of Israel came to the king in the solemn day of the seventh month.

4 Esi Israelviwo ƒe ametsitsiwo katã va ɖo la, Levitɔwo tsɔ nubablaɖaka la,

And when all the ancients of Israel were come, the Levites took up the ark,

5 eye wotsɔ nubablaɖaka la kple agbadɔ la kple nu kɔkɔewo siwo katã nɔ eme. Nunɔla siwo nye Levitɔwo lae tsɔ wo;

And brought it in, together with all the furniture of the tabernacle. And the priests with the Levites carried the vessels of the sanctuary, which were in the tabernacle.

6 eye Fia Solomo kple Israel ha blibo si ƒo xlãe la nɔ nubablaɖaka la ŋgɔ eye wotsɔ alẽ kple nyitsu geɖe siwo womate ŋu xlẽ o la sa vɔe.

And king Solomon and all the assembly of Israel, and all that were gathered together before the ark, sacrificed rams, and oxen without number: so great was the multitude of the victims.

7 Emegbe la, nunɔlaawo tsɔ Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la va da ɖe enɔƒe le gbedoxɔ la ƒe kɔkɔe ƒe emetɔ si nye Kɔkɔeƒe Ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la me eye wokɔe da ɖe kerubiawo ƒe aʋalawo te.

And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord into its place, that is, to the oracle of the temple, into the holy of holies under the wings of the cherubims:

8 Kerubiawo keke woƒe aʋalawo ɖe nubablaɖaka la ƒe nɔƒe dzi eye wotsyɔ nubablaɖaka la kple etsɔkpoawo dzi.

So that the cherubims spread their wings over the place, in which the ark was set, and covered the ark itself and its staves.

9 Kpo siawo didi ale gbegbe be, woƒe nugbɔwo didi gbɔ aɖaka la ŋu, woate ŋu akpɔ wo tso xɔ emetɔ, Kɔkɔeƒe ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la me, gake womate ŋu akpɔ wo le Kɔkɔeƒe la godo o. Wogale afi ma va se ɖe egbe.

Now the ends of the staves wherewith the ark was carried, because they were some thing longer, were seen before the oracle: but if a man were a little outward, he could not see them. So the ark has been there unto this day.

10 Naneke menɔ nubablaɖaka la me o negbe kpe kpakpa eve siwo Mose tsɔ de eme le Horeb to la gbɔ, esi Yehowa bla nu kple Israelviwo esi woʋu tso Egipte la ko.

And there was nothing else in the ark but the two tables which Moses put there at Horeb when the Lord gave the law to the children of Israel, at their coming out of Egypt.

11 Nunɔlaawo doa go le Kɔkɔƒe la me. Nunɔla siwo katã nɔ afi ma la ƒe habɔbɔwo katã kɔ wo ɖokuiwo ŋu.

Now when the priests were come out of the sanctuary, (for all the priests that could be found there, mere sanctified: and as yet at that time the courses and orders of the ministries were not divided among them, )

12 Levitɔ siwo nye haƒolawo, Asaf, Heman, Yedutun kple wo viŋutsuwo kple woƒe ƒometɔwo nɔ vɔsamlekpui la ƒe ɣedzeƒe, wodo aklalawu eye wonɔ gakogoewo, saŋkuwo kple kasaŋkuwo ƒom. Nunɔla alafa ɖeka blaeve kpe ɖe wo ŋu eye wonɔ kpẽwo kum.

Both the Levites and the singing men, that is, both they that were under Asaph, and they that were under Heman, and they that were under Idithun, with their sons, and their brethren, clothed with fine linen, sounded with cymbals, and psalteries, and harps, standing on the east side of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests, sounding with trumpets.

13 Kpẽkulawo kple hadzilawo lé hawo ɖe gbe ɖeka me be woatsɔ kafukafu kple akpedada na Yehowa. Kpẽwo, gakogoewo kple haƒonu bubuwo kpena ɖe hadzilawo ŋu, wokɔa gbe dzi hekafua Yehowa eye wodzia ha be, “Eƒe dɔme nyo; eye eƒe amenuveve li tegbee.” Tete lilikpo aɖe yɔ Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me,

So when they all sounded together, both with trumpets, and voice, and cymbals, and organs, and with divers kind of musical instruments, and lifted up their voice on high: the sound was heard afar off, so that when they began to praise the Lord, and to say: Give glory to the Lord for he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever: the house of God was filled with a cloud.

14 eye nunɔlaawo magate ŋu awɔ woƒe dɔ o, le lilikpo la ta elabena Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe yɔ gbedoxɔ la me.

Nor could the priests stand and minister by reason of the cloud. For the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God.
