Παραλειπομένων Βʹ 5

1 καὶ συνετελέσθη πᾶσα ἡ ἐργασία ἣν ἐποίησεν Σαλωμων ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου καὶ εἰσήνεγκεν Σαλωμων τὰ ἅγια Δαυιδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὰ σκεύη ἔδωκεν εἰς θησαυρὸν οἴκου κυρίου

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

2 τότε ἐξεκκλησίασεν Σαλωμων τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους Ισραηλ καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἄρχοντας τῶν φυλῶν τοὺς ἡγουμένους πατριῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ εἰς Ιερουσαλημ τοῦ ἀνενέγκαι κιβωτὸν διαθήκης κυρίου ἐκ πόλεως Δαυιδ αὕτη Σιων

Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the ancestral leaders of the children of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the City of David, which is Zion.

3 καὶ ἐξεκκλησιάσθησαν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ισραηλ ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ οὗτος ὁ μὴν ἕβδομος

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

4 καὶ ἦλθον πάντες οἱ πρεσβύτεροι Ισραηλ καὶ ἔλαβον πάντες οἱ Λευῖται τὴν κιβωτὸν

All the elders of Israel came: and the Levites took up the ark;

5 καὶ ἀνήνεγκαν τὴν κιβωτὸν καὶ τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ μαρτυρίου καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη τὰ ἅγια τὰ ἐν τῇ σκηνῇ καὶ ἀνήνεγκαν αὐτὴν οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται

and they brought up the ark, and the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; these the priests the Levites brought up.

6 καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμων καὶ πᾶσα συναγωγὴ Ισραηλ καὶ οἱ φοβούμενοι καὶ οἱ ἐπισυνηγμένοι αὐτῶν ἔμπροσθεν τῆς κιβωτοῦ θύοντες μόσχους καὶ πρόβατα οἳ οὐκ ἀριθμηθήσονται καὶ οἳ οὐ λογισθήσονται ἀπὸ τοῦ πλήθους

King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled to him, were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle, that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.

7 καὶ εἰσήνεγκαν οἱ ἱερεῖς τὴν κιβωτὸν διαθήκης κυρίου εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς εἰς τὸ δαβιρ τοῦ οἴκου εἰς τὰ ἅγια τῶν ἁγίων ὑποκάτω τῶν πτερύγων τῶν χερουβιν

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

8 καὶ ἦν τὰ χερουβιν διαπεπετακότα τὰς πτέρυγας αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον τῆς κιβωτοῦ καὶ συνεκάλυπτεν τὰ χερουβιν ἐπὶ τὴν κιβωτὸν καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀναφορεῖς αὐτῆς ἐπάνωθεν

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

9 καὶ ὑπερεῖχον οἱ ἀναφορεῖς καὶ ἐβλέποντο αἱ κεφαλαὶ τῶν ἀναφορέων ἐκ τῶν ἁγίων εἰς πρόσωπον τοῦ δαβιρ οὐκ ἐβλέποντο ἔξω καὶ ἦσαν ἐκεῖ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης

The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the inner sanctuary; but they were not seen outside. And they are there to this day.

10 οὐκ ἦν ἐν τῇ κιβωτῷ πλὴν δύο πλάκες ἃς ἔθηκεν Μωυσῆς ἐν Χωρηβ ἃ διέθετο κύριος μετὰ τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ ἐν τῷ ἐξελθεῖν αὐτοὺς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου

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

11 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐξελθεῖν τοὺς ἱερεῖς ἐκ τῶν ἁγίων ὅτι πάντες οἱ ἱερεῖς οἱ εὑρεθέντες ἡγιάσθησαν οὐκ ἦσαν διατεταγμένοι κατ’ ἐφημερίαν

It happened, when the priests had come out of the holy place, (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, regardless of the divisions;

12 καὶ οἱ Λευῖται οἱ ψαλτῳδοὶ πάντες τοῖς υἱοῖς Ασαφ τῷ Αιμαν τῷ Ιδιθουν καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτῶν καὶ τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτῶν τῶν ἐνδεδυμένων στολὰς βυσσίνας ἐν κυμβάλοις καὶ ἐν νάβλαις καὶ ἐν κινύραις ἑστηκότες κατέναντι τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου καὶ μετ’ αὐτῶν ἱερεῖς ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι σαλπίζοντες ταῖς σάλπιγξιν

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 καὶ ἐγένετο μία φωνὴ ἐν τῷ σαλπίζειν καὶ ἐν τῷ ψαλτῳδεῖν καὶ ἐν τῷ ἀναφωνεῖν φωνῇ μιᾷ τοῦ ἐξομολογεῖσθαι καὶ αἰνεῖν τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ ὡς ὕψωσαν φωνὴν ἐν σάλπιγξιν καὶ ἐν κυμβάλοις καὶ ἐν ὀργάνοις τῶν ᾠδῶν καὶ ἔλεγον ἐξομολογεῖσθε τῷ κυρίῳ ὅτι ἀγαθόν ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ καὶ ὁ οἶκος ἐνεπλήσθη νεφέλης δόξης κυρίου

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

14 καὶ οὐκ ἠδύναντο οἱ ἱερεῖς τοῦ στῆναι λειτουργεῖν ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς νεφέλης ὅτι ἐνέπλησεν δόξα κυρίου τὸν οἶκον τοῦ θεοῦ

so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD filled God's house.
