II Oihanaalii 5

1 PELA i paa ai na mea a pau a Solomona i hana'i no ka hale o Iehova; a hookomo o Solomona i na mea a Davida, a kona makua kane i hoolaa ai, i ke kala a me ke gula, a me na ipu a pau, a waiho iho la iloko o ka waihonawaiwai o ke Akua.

So all the work that Solomon had performed for the house of the LORD was completed. Then Solomon brought in the items his father David had dedicated—the silver, the gold, and all the furnishings—and he placed them in the treasuries of the house of God.

2 Alaila, hoakoakoa o Solomona i na lunakahiko o ka Iseraela, a me ka poe koikoi o na ohana, i na kaukaualii, a me na makualii no na mamo a Iseraela, i Ierusalema, e lawe i ka pahu o ka berita o Iehova mai ke kulanakauhale o Davida, mai Ziona mai.

At that time Solomon assembled in Jerusalem the elders of Israel—all the tribal heads and family leaders of the Israelites—to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from Zion, the City of David.

3 A hoakoakoaia e ke alii na kanaka a pau loa o ka Iseraela i ka ahaaina i ka malama ehiku.

So all the men of Israel came together to the king at the feast in the seventh month.

4 A hiki mai la ka poe lunakahiko o ka Iseraela, a hapai ae la na Levi i ka pahu.

When all the elders of Israel had arrived, the Levites took up the ark,

5 Lawe lakou i ka pahu, a me ka halelewa o ke anainakanaka, a me na ipu hoano a pau, aia no iloko o ka halelewa; na ka poe kahuna, na ka Levi i lawe.

and they brought up the ark and the Tent of Meeting with all its sacred furnishings. The Levitical priests carried them up.

6 A o ke alii, o Solomona a me ka ahakanaka a pau o ka Iseraela i hoakoakoaia io na la imua o ka pa hu berita, mohai aku lakou i na hi pa, a me na bipi i pau ole i ka heluia no ka nui loa.

There, before the ark, King Solomon and the whole congregation of Israel who had assembled with him sacrificed so many sheep and oxen that they could not be counted or numbered.

7 Alaila, hookomo ka poe kahuna i ka pahu berita o Iehova i kona wahi, i kahi hoano o ka hale, kahi hoano loa malalo iho o na eheu o na kerubima.

Then the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, the Most Holy Place, beneath the wings of the cherubim.

8 Ua hoholaia na eheu o na kerubima ma kahi o ka pahu, a ua uhi na kerubima i ka pahu, a me kona mau laau auamo maluna iho.

For the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark and overshadowed the ark and its poles.

9 A huki mai lakou i na laau auamo, a ua ikea na poo o na laau auamo, mai ka pahu, a imua o kahi hoano, aole i ikeia mawaho. A aia no ia a hiki i neia la.

The poles of the ark extended far enough that their ends were visible from in front of the inner sanctuary, but not from outside the Holy Place; and they are there to this day.

10 Aohe mea e iloko o ka pahu, o na papa elua wale no a Mose i hookomo ai iloko ma Horeba, i ka manawa i hoohiki ai ke Akua me ka poe mamo a Iseraela i ko lakou hele ana mai Aigupita mai.

There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets that Moses had placed in it at Horeb, where the LORD had made a covenant with the Israelites after they had come out of Egypt.

11 A puka mai ka poe kahuna mai kahi hoano mai, (no ka mea ua huikalaia na kahuna a pau loa, aole lakou i ku papa ia manawa:

Now all the priests who were present had consecrated themselves regardless of their divisions. And when the priests came out of the Holy Place,

12 A o na Levi, ka poe himeni a pau na Asapa, na Hemana, na Iedutuna, a me ka lakou poe keiki, a me ko lakou poe hoahanau i aahuia i ka ie olona maikai me na kimebala, a me na pesaleteri, a me na lira, ku lakou imua o ke kuahu, a me lakou pu na kahuna he haneri a me ka iwakalua, e hookani ana i na pu.)

all the Levitical singers—Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and relatives—stood on the east side of the altar, dressed in fine linen and playing cymbals, harps, and lyres, accompanied by 120 priests sounding trumpets.

13 A lokahi ka manao o ka poe hookani i ka pu, a me ka poe himeni me ka leo hookahi, e hoolea aku, a e hoomaikai aku ia Iehova, a hookiekie lakou i ka leo me na pu, a me na kimebala a me na mea kani e ae; a i ko lakou hoolea ana'ku ia Iehova. No ka mea, ua maikai no ia, ua mau loa kona aloha: aia hoi, na hoopihaia ka hale i ke ao, ka hale o Iehova.

The trumpeters and singers joined together to praise and thank the LORD with one voice. They lifted up their voices, accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and musical instruments, in praise to the LORD: “For He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.” And the temple, the house of the LORD, was filled with a cloud

14 Aole i hiki i na kahuna ke ku a e lawelawe imua o ke ao; no ka mea, ua piha ka hale o ke Akua i ka nani o Iehova.

so that the priests could not stand there to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of God.
