2 Istwa 5

1 Konsa, tout travay ke Salomon te acheve pou kay SENYÈ a te fini. Epi Salomon te mennen fè antre tout bagay ke David, papa li, te dedye yo, menm ajan avèk lò a, tout zouti yo e li te mete yo nan trezò lakay Bondye a.

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, Salomon te rasanble nan Jérusalem ansyen Israël yo, ak tout chèf a tribi yo, chèf lakay papa zansèt a fis Israël yo, pou mennen fè monte lach SENYÈ a sòti andeyò vil David la, ki se Sion.

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 Tout mesye Israël yo te rasanble yo kote wa a nan fèt ki te nan setyèm mwa a.

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

4 Konsa, tout ansyen Israël yo te vini. Levit yo te leve pran lach la.

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

5 Yo te mennen lach la fè l monte avèk tant asanble a ak tout zouti sen ki te nan tant yo. Prèt Levit yo te mennen fè yo monte.

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 Epi Wa Salomon avèk tout asanble Israël ki te rasanble avèk li devan lach yo, t ap fè sakrifis a yon tèlman gran kantite mouton avèk bèf ke yo pa t kab kontwole ni konte.

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 Answit, prèt yo te mennen lach akò a SENYÈ a antre nan plas li, anndan sanktyè enteryè kay la, nan kote ki sen pase tout lòt yo anba zèl a 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 Paske cheriben yo te lonje zèl yo sou plas lach la, jiskaske cheriben yo te fè yon kouvèti sou lach la avèk poto li 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 Poto yo te tèlman long ke pwent poto a lach yo te vizib devan sanktyè enteryè a, men yo pa t kab wè pa deyò. Epi yo toujou la jis rive jodi a.

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 Pa t gen anyen nan lach la sof ke de tablo ke Moïse te mete ladann nan Horeb yo, kote SENYÈ a te fè yon akò avèk fis Israël yo lè yo te sòti an Égypte 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 Lè prèt yo te vin sòti nan kote pi sen pase tout lòt kote yo, (paske tout prèt ki te prezan yo te deja sanktifye yo menm san kontwole divizyon sèvis pa yo),

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 epi tout chantè Levit yo, Asaph, Héman, Jeduthun, fis pa yo avèk fanmi pa yo, te abiye an twal len fen, avèk senbal, ap, gita, yo te kanpe nan kote lès a otèl la e avèk yo, san-ven prèt ki t ap soufle twonpèt yo,

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 ansanm lè mesye twonpèt yo avèk chantè yo te gen pou fè son yo tande ansanm tankou yon sèl vwa pou lwanj avèk glwa SENYÈ a, lè yo te leve vwa yo akonpanye patwonpèt avèk senbal ak enstriman mizik yo, lè yo te louwe SENYÈ a e te di: “Paske Li bon, lanmou dous Li a dire pou tout tan!” Konsa, lakay SENYÈ a te ranpli avèk yon nwaj,

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 jiskaske prèt yo pa t kab kanpe pou fè sèvis akoz nwaj la. Paske glwa SENYÈ a te ranpli kay Bondye a.

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