2 Ebyomumirembe 5

1 Bw’atyo Sulemaani n’amaliriza omulimu gwonna ogwa yeekaalu ya Mukama. N’alyoka aleeta ebintu kitaawe Dawudi bye yawonga, effeeza ne zaabu n’ebintu ebirala byonna ebyole, n’abiteeka mu mawanika ga yeekaalu ya Katonda.

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

2 Awo Sulemaani n’akuŋŋaanya abakadde ba Isirayiri, n’abakulu b’ebika, n’abakulu b’ennyumba za bajjajja b’abantu ba Isirayiri bagende baleete essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama okuva mu Sayuuni, ekibuga kya Dawudi.

Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers’ [houses] of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the city of David, which is Zion.

3 Abasajja bonna aba Isirayiri ne bakuŋŋaanira mu maaso ga kabaka mu kiseera eky’embaga mu mwezi ogw’omusanvu.

And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king at the feast, which was [in] the seventh month.

4 Abakadde bonna aba Isirayiri bwe baatuuka, Abaleevi ne basitula essanduuko,

And all the elders of Israel came: and the Levites took up the ark;

5 ne bagireeta, n’Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, n’ebintu byonna ebitukuvu ebyali mu weema. Bakabona n’Abaleevi be baabisitula.

and they brought up the ark, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; these did the priests the Levites bring up.

6 Awo kabaka Sulemaani n’ekibiina kyonna ekya Isirayiri, abaali bakuŋŋaanye nga bamwetoolodde, nga bali mu maaso g’essanduuko, ne bawaayo ssaddaaka ez’endiga n’ente, ezitaabalibwa muwendo.

And king Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.

7 Awo bakabona ne baleeta essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama munda mu kifo kyayo mu watukuvu wa yeekaalu, mu Kifo Ekitukuvu Ennyo, ne bagiteeka wansi w’ebiwaawaatiro bya bakerubi.

And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah unto its place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.

8 Bakerubi baayanjalanga ebiwaawaatiro byabwe okubuna ekifo eky’essanduuko, ne babikkanga essanduuko n’emisituliro gyayo.

For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereof above.

9 Era emisituliro gyali miwanvu nnyo nga n’okulengerebwa girengerebwa okuva mu watukuvu, naye nga tegirabika ng’omuntu asinzidde ebweru; era ekyali eyo ne leero.

And the staves were so long that the ends of the staves were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without: and there it is unto this day.

10 Essanduuko yalimu ebipande Musa bye yateekamu nga ali ku Kolebu, Mukama gye yakolera endagaano n’Abayisirayiri, bwe baali bavudde mu Misiri.

There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put [there] at Horeb, when Jehovah made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.

11 Awo bakabona bonna ne bava mu Kifo Ekitukuvu. Bonna abaaliwo baali beetukuzizza, obutayawula mu bibiina byabwe.

And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place (for all the priests that were present had sanctified themselves, and did not keep their courses;

12 Abaleevi bonna abaali abayimbi, ng’omwo mwe muli Asafu, Kemani, Yedusuni ne batabani baabwe n’ab’eŋŋanda zaabwe nga bambadde bafuta ennungi, nga bakutte ebitaasa, n’entongooli, n’ennanga, ne bayimirira ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba olw’ekyoto, wamu ne bakabona kikumi mu abiri abaafuuwanga amakondeere.

also the Levites who were the singers, all of them, even Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and their brethren, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets);

13 Awo abaafuuwanga amakondeere n’abayimbi ne beegattira wamu mu ddoboozi ery’awamu ne batendereza era ne beebaza Mukama. Ne batendereza Mukama nga bafuuwa amakondeere, nga bakuba n’ebitaasa, n’ebivuga ebirala nga bayimba nti, “Mulungi, kubanga okwagala kwe okwenkalakkalira kubeerera emirembe n’emirembe.” Awo yeekaalu ya Mukama n’ejjula ekire.

it came to pass, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking Jehovah; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised Jehovah, [saying], For he is good; for his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever; that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of Jehovah,

14 Bakabona ne batasobola kukola mulimu gwabwe ogw’obuweereza olw’ekire, kubanga ekitiibwa kya Mukama kyajjula yeekaalu ya Mukama.

so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of Jehovah filled the house of God.
