Ii Paralipomenon 5

1 Intulit igitur Salomon omnia, quae voverat David pater suus, argentum, et aurum, et universa vasa posuit in thesauris domus Dei.

So all the work which Solomon did for the house of the Lord was complete. And Solomon took the holy things which David his father had given, the silver and the gold and all the vessels, and put them in the store-houses of the house of God.

2 Post quae congregavit maiores natu Israel, et cunctos principes tribuum, et capita familiarum de filiis Israel in Ierusalem, ut adducerent arcam foederis Domini de Civitate David, quae est Sion.

Then Solomon sent for all the responsible men of Israel, all the chiefs of the tribes and the heads of families of the children of Israel, to come to Jerusalem and take the ark of the Lord's agreement up out of the town of David, which is Zion.

3 Venerunt itaque ad regem omnes viri Israel in die sollemni mensis septimi.

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

4 Cumque venissent cuncti seniorum Israel, portaverunt Levitae arcam,

All the responsible men of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark.

5 et intulerunt eam, et omnem paraturam tabernaculi. Porro vasa sanctuarii, quae erant in tabernaculo, portaverunt Sacerdotes cum Levitis.

They took up the ark and the Tent of meeting and all the holy vessels which were in the Tent; all these the priests, the Levites, took up.

6 Rex autem Salomon, et universus coetus Israel, et omnes, qui fuerunt congregati ante arcam, immolabant arietes, et boves absque ullo numero: tanta enim erat multitudo victimarum.

And King Solomon and all the men of Israel who had come together there with him, were before the ark, making offerings of sheep and oxen more than might be numbered.

7 Et intulerunt Sacerdotes arcam foederis Domini in locum suum, id est, ad oraculum templi, in Sancta sanctorum subter alas cherubim:

And the priests took the ark of the Lord's agreement and put it in its place, in the inner room of the house, in the most holy place, under the wings of the winged ones.

8 ita ut cherubim expanderent alas suas super locum, in quo posita erat arca, et ipsam arcam tegerent cum vectibus suis.

For their wings were outstretched over the place where the ark was, covering the ark and its rods.

9 Vectium autem, quibus portabatur arca, quia paululum longiores erant, capita parebant ante oraculum: si vero quis paululum fuisset extrinsecus, eos videre non poterat. Fuit itaque arca ibi usque in praesentem diem.

The rods were so long that their ends were seen from the holy place before the inmost room; but they were not seen from outside; and there they are to this day.

10 Nihilque erat aliud in arca, nisi duae tabulae, quas posuerat Moyses in Horeb, quando legem dedit Dominus filiis Israel egredientibus ex Aegypto.

Nothing was in the ark but the two flat stones which Moses put there at Horeb, where the Lord made an agreement with the children of Israel when they came out of Egypt.

11 Egressis autem Sacerdotibus de sanctuario (omnes enim Sacerdotes, qui ibi potuerant inveniri, sanctificati sunt: nec adhuc in illo tempore vices, et ministeriorum ordo inter eos divisus erat)

Now when the priests had come out of the holy place, (for all the priests who were present had made themselves holy, not keeping to their divisions;

12 tam Levitae quam cantores, id est, et qui sub Asaph erant, et qui sub Eman, et qui sub Idithun, filii, et fratres eorum vestiti byssinis, cymbalis, et psalteriis, et citharis concrepabant, stantes ad Orientalem plagam altaris, et cum eis Sacerdotes centum viginti canentes tubis.

And the Levites who made the music, all of them, Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and brothers, robed in fair linen, were in their places with their brass and corded instruments at the east side of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests blowing horns; )

13 Igitur cunctis pariter, et tubis, et voce, et cymbalis, et organis, et diversi generis musicorum concinentibus, et vocem in sublime tollentibus; longe sonitus audiebatur, ita ut cum Dominum laudare coepissent et dicere: Confitemini Domino quoniam bonus, quoniam in aeternum misericordia eius; impleretur ita domus Dei nube,

And when the players on horns, and those who made melody in song, with one voice were sounding the praise and glory of the Lord; with loud voices and with wind instruments, and brass and corded instruments of music, praising the Lord and saying, He is good; his mercy is unchanging for ever: then the house was full of the cloud of the glory of the Lord,

14 ne possent Sacerdotes stare et ministrare propter caliginem. Compleverat enim gloria Domini domum Dei.

So that the priests were not able to keep their places to do their work because of the cloud; for the house of God was full of the glory of the Lord.
