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.
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 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.
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 A hoakoakoaia e ke alii na kanaka a pau loa o ka Iseraela i ka ahaaina i ka malama ehiku.
So all the leaders of Israel gathered together along with the king, during the Festival of [Living in Temporary] Shelters, in October.
4 A hiki mai la ka poe lunakahiko o ka Iseraela, a hapai ae la na Levi i ka pahu.
When they had all arrived, the descendants of Levi lifted up the Sacred Chest,
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 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
The wings of those statues spread out over the Sacred Chest and over the poles by which it was carried.
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 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 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.
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 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:
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 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 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 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 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 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.
The glorious radiance of Yahweh filled the temple, with the result that the priests were not able to continue doing their work.
