2 Istwa 5

1 Lè wa Salomon te fin fè travay bati tanp Seyè a, li fè yo pote tout ajan, tout lò ansanm ak tout lòt bagay David, papa l', te ofri bay Seyè a. Li fè mete yo nan chanm trezò Tanp lan.

Thus all the work that Solomon wrought for the house of Jehovah was finished. And 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 Apre sa, Salomon bay lòd pou tout gwo chèf pèp Izrayèl yo ansanm ak tout chèf branch fanmi yo ak lòt chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl la sanble devan l' lavil Jerizalèm pou yo al pran Bwat Kontra Seyè a nan lavil David la, lavil Siyon an, pou yo pote l' nan Tanp lan.

Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the rulers of the fathers of the sons of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the city of David, which is Zion.

3 Pandan fèt Joupa yo, nan setyèm mwa a, tout pèp Izrayèl la reyini ansanm ak wa Salomon.

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

4 Lè tout chèf pèp Izrayèl yo fin reyini, moun Levi yo pran Bwat Kontra a,

And all the elders of Israel came. And the Levites took up the ark.

5 yo pote l' nan Tanp lan ansanm ak Tant Randevou Seyè a ak tout bagay yo te mete ladan l' apa pou Seyè a. Se prèt yo ak moun Levi yo ki te pote yo.

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 Wa Salomon ansanm ak tout pèp Izrayèl la sanble devan Bwat Kontra a. Yo touye bèf, kabrit ak mouton an kantite pou Bondye. Moun pa t' ka konte konbe bèt yo te touye jou sa a sitèlman yo te anpil.

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

7 Lè yo fini, prèt yo pote Bwat Kontra a nan pyès ki apa nèt pou Seyè a anndan tanp lan, yo mete l' nan mitan de pòtre zanj cheriben yo.

And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah to its place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.

8 Zèl zanj cheriben yo te louvri, yo te kouvri tout kote Bwat Kontra a ye a ansanm ak poto ki sèvi pou pote l' yo.

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

9 Si yon moun kanpe sou devan pyès ki apa nèt pou Seyè a, yo ka wè pwent poto yo nan kote ki apa pou Bondye a tèlman yo te long. Men, ou pa ka wè yo lòt kote ankò. Jouk koulye a poto yo la toujou.

And the staves were so long that the ends of the staves were seen from the ark before the oracle, but they were not seen outside. And there it is to this day.

10 Nan Bwat Kontra a pa t' gen pase de moso wòch plat Moyiz te mete ladan l' yo depi sou mòn Orèb la. Se sou mòn sa a Seyè a te pase kontra a ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo lè yo t'ap soti kite peyi Lejip la.

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

11 Prèt yo soti nan pyès ki apa nèt pou Seyè a. Tout prèt ki te la yo te mete yo nan kondisyon pou yo fè sèvis pou Bondye, san yo pa tann tou pa yo pou yo pran sèvis.

And it came to pass, when the priests came out of the holy place, (for all the priests that were present had sanctified themselves, and did not keep their divisions.

12 Tout moun Levi ki te sanba yo, depi Asaf, Eyman ak Jedoutoun jouk tout pitit yo ak lòt fanmi yo, te kanpe sou bò solèy leve lotèl la ak rad blan sou yo. Yo te gen senbal, bandjo, gita. Lèfini, te gen sanven (120) prèt bò kote yo ki t'ap kònen twonpèt.

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 psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets),

13 Lè tout moun sa yo mete ansanm pou yo pran kònen twonpèt, pou yo chante fè lwanj Bondye, pou di li mèsi, nan mitan bèl mizik yo t'ap jwe nan twonpèt ak senbal ak lòt enstriman mizik yo, ou tande vwa moun yo ki t'ap chante: Lwanj pou Seyè a, paske li bon! Li p'ap janm sispann renmen nou! Lè sa a, nwaj la plen Tanp Seyè a nèt.

it came to pass, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking Jehovah. And when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised Jehovah, saying, For he is good. For his loving kindness is forever, that the house was then filled with a cloud, even the house of Jehovah,

14 Poutèt nwaj la, prèt yo pa t' ka rete fè sèvis yo, paske limyè prezans Seyè a te plen Tanp lan nèt.

so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud. For the glory of Jehovah filled the house of God.
