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.
And all the work was finished that Solomon made for the house of Jehovah. And Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels he put among the treasures 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 of the children of Israel, to 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 to the king at the feast, that of 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: the priests, the Levites, brought them 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 assembly of Israel, that were assembled to him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen which 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 to its place, into the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, 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.
and the cherubim stretched forth [their] wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its staves 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 long, so that the ends of the staves were seen outside the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without. And there they are to 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 were hallowed without observing the 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,
and the Levites the singers, all they of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, clad in byssus, with cymbals and lutes 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 voice to be heard in praising and thanking Jehovah; and when they lifted up their voice with trumpets, and cymbals, and instruments of music, and praised Jehovah: For he is good, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever; that then the house, the house of Jehovah, was filled with a cloud,
14 so prestarne kunde ikkje standa og gjera tenesta for skuld skyi; for Herrens herlegdom fyllte Guds hus.
and the priests could not stand to do their service because of the cloud; for the glory of Jehovah had filled the house of God.
