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.

Then Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had vowed, the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels, which he placed 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.

After this, he gathered together those greater by birth of Israel, and all the leaders of the tribes, and the heads of the families, from the sons of Israel, to Jerusalem, so that they might bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord from 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 so, all the men of Israel went to the king, on the solemn day of the seventh month.

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

And when all the elders of Israel had arrived, the Levites carried 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 it in, along with all the equipment of the tabernacle. Then too, the priests with the Levites carried the vessels of the sanctuary, which were in the tabernacle.

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.

Now king Solomon, and the entire assembly of Israel, and all who had gathered together before the ark, were immolating rams and oxen without any number, for so great was the multitude of the victims.

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 the Lord to its place, that is, to the oracle of the temple, in the Holy of Holies, 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.

so that the cherubim extended their wings over the place where the ark was positioned, and they covered the ark itself and its bars.

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.

But concerning the bars by which the ark was carried, because they were a little longer, the ends were able to be seen before the oracle. Yet truly, if anyone were a little ways toward the exterior, he would not be able to see them. And so the ark has been in that place, even to the present 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.

And there was nothing else in the ark, except the two tablets, which Moses had placed there at Horeb when the Lord gave the law to the sons of Israel, at the departure from 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 having gone out from the Sanctuary, the priests (for all the priests who were able to be found there were sanctified, and in that time the turns and orders of the ministries had not yet been divided among them)

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,

with both the Levites and the singing men, that is, those who were under Asaph, and those who were under Heman, and those who were under Jeduthun, with their sons and brothers, clothed in fine linen, sounded out with cymbals, and psalteries, and harps, standing toward the eastern side of the altar. And with them were one hundred twenty priests, sounding out 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,

And when they all sounded out together, with trumpets, and voice, and cymbals, and pipes, and with various kinds of musical instruments, lifting their voice on high, the sound was heard from far away, so that when they had begun to praise the Lord, and to say, “Confess to the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy is eternal,” the house of God was filled with a cloud.

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

Neither were the priests able to stand and to minister, because of the cloud. For the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God.
