2 Ihe E Mere 5
1 Mgbe a rụzuru ọrụ niile nke eze Solomọn nwere ịrụ maka ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị ahụ, o webatara ihe niile Devid bụ nna ya doro nsọ nʼime ya, ya bụ ọlaọcha, ọlaedo na ngwongwo ndị ọzọ niile. O tinyere ha nʼụlọakụ dị nʼụlọnsọ Chineke.
Thus all the work that Solomon did for Yahweh’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 Mgbe ahụ, Solomọn kpọkọtara ndị okenye Izrel niile, na ndịisi ebo Izrel niile, na ndịisi ezinaụlọ Izrel niile na Jerusalem, maka ị site na Zayọn, bụ obodo Devid bugota igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị.
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 Yahweh’s covenant out of David’s city, which is Zion.
3 Ndị Izrel niile gbakọtara bịakwute eze nʼoge a na-eme mmemme nʼọnwa Etanim, nke bụ ọnwa asaa nʼafọ.
So all the men of Israel assembled themselves to the king at the feast, which was in the seventh month.
4 Mgbe ndị okenye Izrel niile bịarutere, ndị Livayị buliri igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ.
All the elders of Israel came. The Levites took up the ark.
5 Ha bugotara igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị, ya na ụlọ nzute, na ngwongwo niile dị nsọ dị nʼime ya. Ndị nchụaja bụ ndị Livayị buliri ha elu.
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 Eze Solomọn na ọgbakọ Izrel niile, bụ ndị zukọtara nʼebe ọ nọ, nọ nʼihu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, na-achụ aja ọtụtụ atụrụ na ọtụtụ ehi nke a na-apụghị ịgụta ọnụ maọbụ gbakọta ọnụọgụgụ ha nʼihi ịba ụba.
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 Ndị nchụaja bubatara igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị ahụ nʼime ime ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, nʼime Ebe Kachasị Nsọ, dọba ya nʼokpuru nku cherubim ahụ.
The priests brought in the ark of Yahweh’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 Cherubim ndị ahụ gbasara nku ha nʼelu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, kpuchie ya na okporo osisi ndị ahụ e ji ebu ya.
For the cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.
9 Okporo osisi ndị a dị oke ogologo, na isi ha sitere nʼigbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ na-apụta, na e nwere ike ị site nʼihu ime ime ebe nsọ ahụ hụ ha anya, ma onye na-anọghị nʼEbe Nsọ ahụ adịghị ahụ ha. Ha ka dịkwa nʼebe ahụ ruo taa
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 O nweghị ihe dị nʼime igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, karịakwa mbadamba nkume abụọ ahụ Mosis tinyere nʼime ya nʼugwu Horeb, nʼebe Onyenwe anyị na ụmụ Izrel gbara ndụ, mgbe ha si nʼala Ijipt pụta.
There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets which Moses put there at Horeb, when Yahweh made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.
11 Mgbe ndị nchụaja sitere nʼEbe Nsọ Kachasị Ebe Nsọ pụta, nʼihi na ndị nchụaja ahụ niile doro onwe ha nsọ nʼagbanyeghị usuu nke onye ọbụla nʼime ha si pụta.
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 Ma ndị Livayị bụ ndị ọbụ abụ, ya bụ Asaf, Heman, Jedutun na ụmụ ha ndị ikom na ndị ikwu ha guzoro onwe ha nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ nke ebe ịchụ aja. Ha yi uwe ezi akwa ọcha ma na-akpọ ụbọ akwara, na-akụkwa ogene ọla. Ndị nchụaja dị otu narị na iri abụọ nʼọnụọgụgụ. Ndị na-afụ opi sokwa ha.
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 twenty priests sounding with trumpets);
13 Ndị ọbụ abụ ahụ na ndị na-afụ opi jikọrọ onwe ha ọnụ were otu olu bụkuo Onyenwe anyị abụ ekele na otuto. Ndị na-afụ opi, na ndị na-akụ ọla na-ada ụda, na ndị ji ngwa egwu ndị ọzọ sonyeere ha, welie olu ha elu too Onyenwe anyị nʼabụ sị: “Nʼihi na Ọ dị mma Ịhụnanya ya na-adị ruo ebighị ebi.” Mgbe ahụ igwe ojii jupụtara nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị,
when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking Yahweh; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised Yahweh, saying, “For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever!” then the house was filled with a cloud, even Yahweh’s house,
14 nke mere na ndị nchụaja enwekwaghị ike jee ozi ha, nʼihi igwe ojii ahụ, nʼihi na ebube Onyenwe anyị jupụtara nʼime ụlọnsọ Chineke.
so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for Yahweh’s glory filled God’s house.
