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.

Thus all the work that Solomon did for the LORD’s house was finished. Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated, even the silver, the gold, and all the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of God’s house.

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 Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers’ households of the children of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD’s covenant out of David’s city, which is Zion.

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 assembled themselves to the king at the feast, which was in the seventh month.

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

All the elders of Israel came. 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.

They brought up the ark, the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent. The Levitical priests brought these 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.

King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled to him were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.

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 brought in the ark of the LORD’s covenant to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, even under 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 out their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.

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 so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the ark in front of the inner sanctuary, but they were not seen outside; and it is 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 which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when 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:

When the priests had come out of the holy place (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, and didn’t keep their divisions;

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.)

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 stringed instruments and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them one hundred and twenty priests sounding with shofars);

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.

when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the shofars and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD, saying, “For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever!” then the house was filled with a cloud, even the LORD’s house,

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 to minister by reason of the cloud; for the LORD’s glory filled God’s house.
