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.
After Solomon’s workers had finished building the temple, Solomon put in the temple storage rooms everything that his father David had dedicated to Yahweh—all the silver and gold and all the other things that were used at the temple.
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 King Solomon summoned to Jerusalem all the elders of Israel, all the leaders of the tribes and of the families/clans. He wanted them to help to bring to the temple Yahweh’s Sacred Chest from Zion [Hill], where it was in [the part of the city called] ‘The City of David’.
3 Tout mesye Israël yo te rasanble yo kote wa a nan fèt ki te nan setyèm mwa a.
So all the leaders of Israel gathered together along with the king, during the Festival of [Living in Temporary] Shelters, in October.
4 Konsa, tout ansyen Israël yo te vini. Levit yo te leve pran lach la.
When they had all arrived, the descendants of Levi lifted up the Sacred Chest,
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 carried it and the Sacred Tent and the sacred things that were inside it. The priests, who were also descended from Levi, carried them.
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.
King Solomon and many of the other people of Israel who had gathered there walked in front of the Sacred Chest. And they sacrificed a huge amount of sheep and cattle. No one was able to count them [because there were very many].
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.
The priests then brought the Sacred Chest into the Most Holy Place, the inner room of the temple, and they placed it under the wings of the statues of winged creatures.
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.
The wings of those statues spread out over the Sacred Chest and over the poles by which it was carried.
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.
The poles were very long, with the result that they could be seen by [those who were standing] at the entrance to the Most Holy Place, but they could not be seen by anyone standing outside the temple. Those poles are still there.
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.
The only things that were inside the Sacred Chest were the two stone tablets that Moses had put there at Sinai Mountain, where Yahweh made an agreement with the Israeli people after 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),
Then the priests left the Holy Place. All the priests who were there, from every group, had performed the rituals to cause them to be acceptable to God.
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,
All the descendants of Levi who were musicians—Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, their sons and their other relatives—stood on the east side of the altar. They were wearing linen clothes, and they were playing cymbals, harps, and lyres. There were 120 other priests who were blowing 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,
The men blowing trumpets, those playing the cymbals and other musical instruments, and the singers, made music together, praising Yahweh and singing this song: “Yahweh is good [to us]; he faithfully loves us forever.” Then [suddenly] the temple 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.
The glorious radiance of Yahweh filled the temple, with the result that the priests were not able to continue doing their work.
