2 Maũndũ 5

1 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.

Thus all the work that Solomon did for Yahweh’s house was finished. Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated, even the silver, the gold, and all the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of God’s house.

2 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.

Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers’ households of the children of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of Yahweh’s covenant out of David’s city, which is Zion.

3 Nao andũ othe a Isiraeli magĩũka hamwe kũrĩ mũthamaki hĩndĩ ya gĩathĩ, mweri-inĩ wa mũgwanja.

So all the men of Israel assembled themselves to the king at the feast, which was in the seventh month.

4 Rĩrĩa athuuri othe a Isiraeli maakinyire, Alawii makĩoya ithandũkũ rĩu,

All the elders of Israel came. The Levites took up the ark.

5 nao makĩambatia ithandũkũ, hamwe na Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, na indo ciothe iria nyamũre ciarĩ thĩinĩ wayo. Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai, arĩa maarĩ Alawii, magĩciambatia;

They brought up the ark, the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent. The Levitical priests brought these up.

6 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.

King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled to him were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.

7 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.

The priests brought in the ark of Yahweh’s covenant to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.

8 Makerubi macio maatambũrũkĩtie mathagu mamo igũrũ rĩa harĩa haigĩtwo ithandũkũ rĩu, makahumbĩra ithandũkũ o hamwe na mĩtĩ yarĩo ya kũrĩkuua.

For the cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.

9 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.

The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the ark in front of the inner sanctuary, but they were not seen outside; and it is there to this day.

10 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.

There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets which Moses put there at Horeb, when Yahweh made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.

11 Ningĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai makĩehera makiuma Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru. Athĩnjĩri-Ngai othe arĩa maarĩ hau nĩmetheretie matekũrũmbũiya ikundi ciao.

When the priests had come out of the holy place (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, and didn’t keep their divisions;

12 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.

also the Levites who were the singers, all of them, even Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and their brothers, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals and stringed instruments and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them one hundred twenty priests sounding with trumpets);

13 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,

when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking Yahweh; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised Yahweh, saying, “For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever!” then the house was filled with a cloud, even Yahweh’s house,

14 nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai matingĩahotire kũruta wĩra wao nĩ ũndũ wa itu rĩu, nĩgũkorwo riiri wa Jehova nĩwaiyũrire hekarũ ĩyo ya Ngai.

so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for Yahweh’s glory filled God’s house.
