2 Krønikebok 5
1 Då no heile det arbeidet var ferdigt som Salomo let gjera åt Herrens hus, då førde Salomo inn dit heilaggåvorne åt David, far sin: sylvet og gullet og alle gognerne lagde han ned i skattkammeri i Guds hus.
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 So kalla Salomo saman styresmennerne i Israel og alle ættarhovdingarne, formennerne for ættgreinerne åt Israels-sønerne, til Jerusalem for å føra Herrens sambandskista upp ifrå Davidsbyen, det er Sion.
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 Då samla alle Israels-mennerne seg hjå kongen i helgi; det er den sjuande månaden.
And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king at the feast, which was [in] the seventh month.
4 Og alle styresmennerne i Israel kom, og levitarne bar kista.
And all the elders of Israel came: and the Levites took up the ark;
5 Og dei førde kista og møtetjeldet dit upp og alle dei heilaggognerne som var i tjeldet, og prestarne og levitarne bar deim.
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 Og kong Salomo og heile Israels-lyden, som hadde samla seg hjå honom, dei stod framfyre kista og ofra småfe og storfe, so mange at dei ikkje kunde reknast eller teljast.
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 So førde prestarne Herrens sambandskista inn på staden sin i koren i huset, i det høgheilage, under vengjerne åt kerubarne.
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 Og kerubarne breidde ut vengjerne sine yver den staden der kista stod, og soleis tekte kerubarne yver kista og berestengerne hennar.
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 Berestengerne var so lange at ein såg stongendarne som stod fram frå kista, framanfor koren; men ein såg deim ikkje utanfor. Og dei vart verande der til den dag i dag.
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 Det fanst ikkje anna i kista enn dei tvo tavlorne som Moses hadde lagt ned i henne ved Horeb, då Herren gjorde samband med Israels-borni då dei drog ut or Egyptarland.
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 Då prestarne so gjekk ut or heilagdomen, for alle dei prestarne som var der, hadde vigt seg, so det var ikkje naudsynlegt å halda seg etter skifti,
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 og alle dei levitiske songararne, både Asaf, Heman og Jedutun og sønerne og brørne deira, stod i kvite linklæde med cymblar, harpor og cithrar austanfor altaret, og hjå deim hundrad og tjuge prestar som bles i lurar,
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 og i same augneblinken då lurblåsarane og songarane sette i alle som ein med å lova og prisa Herren, og dei let lurarne og cymblarne og spelgognerne klinga, og lova Herren for han er god, og hans miskunn varer æveleg - då vart huset, Herrens hus, fyllt av ei sky,
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 so prestarne kunde ikkje standa og gjera tenesta for skuld skyi; for Herrens herlegdom fyllte Guds hus.
so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of Jehovah filled the house of God.
