Ii Paralipomenon 5

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

And all the work that Solomon made for the house of YHWH is finished, and Solomon brings in the sanctified things of his father David, and the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels he has put among the treasures 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 assembles the elderly of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, princes of the fathers of the sons of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH from the City of David—it [is] Zion.

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

And all the men of Israel are assembled to the king in the celebration—it [is] the seventh month;

4 Cumque venissent cuncti seniorum Israel, portaverunt Levitae arcam,

and all [the] elderly of Israel come in, and the Levites lift up the Ark,

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

and they bring up the Ark, and the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that [are] in the tent; the priests, the Levites, have brought them 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 congregation of Israel who are convened to him before the Ark are sacrificing sheep and oxen that are not counted nor numbered from multitude.

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

And the priests bring in the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH to its place, to the oracle of the house, to the Holy of Holies, to the place of the wings of the cherubim;

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

and the cherubim are spreading out wings over the place of the Ark, and the cherubim cover over the Ark, and over its poles, from above;

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.

and they lengthen the poles, and the heads of the poles are seen out of the Ark on the front of the oracle, and they are not seen outside; and it is there 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.

There is nothing in the Ark but the two tablets that Moses gave in Horeb, where YHWH covenanted with the sons of Israel, in their going out from 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)

And it comes to pass, in the going out of the priests from the holy place—for all the priests who are present have sanctified themselves, there is none to watch by 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, the singers, to all of them, to Asaph, to Heman, to Jeduthun, and to their sons, and to their brothers, clothed in white linen, with cymbals, and with psalteries, and harps, are standing on the east of the altar, and with them one hundred and twenty priests blowing with trumpets—

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,

indeed, it comes to pass, trumpeters and singers [are] as one, to sound [with] one voice—to praise and to give thanks to YHWH, and at the lifting up of the sound with trumpets, and with cymbals, and with instruments of song, and at giving praise to YHWH, [saying], “For [He is] good, for His kindness [is] for all time,” that the house is filled with a cloud—the house of YHWH,

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

and the priests have not been able to stand to minister from the presence of the cloud, for the glory of YHWH has filled the house of God.
