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.

Then Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had vowed, 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.

And after this he gathered together the ancients of Israel, and all the princes of the tribes, and the heads of the families, of the children of Israel to Jerusalem, to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, which is Sion.

3 Då samla alle Israels-mennerne seg hjå kongen i helgi; det er den sjuande månaden.

And all the men of Israel came to the king in the solemn day of the seventh month.

4 Og alle styresmennerne i Israel kom, og levitarne bar kista.

And when all the ancients of Israel were come, 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 brought it in, together with all the furniture of the tabernacle. And the priests with the Levites carried the vessels of the sanctuary, which were in the tabernacle.

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, and all that were gathered together before the ark, sacrificed rams, and oxen without number: so great was the multitude of the victims.

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 the Lord into its place, that is, to the oracle of the temple, into the holy of holies under the wings of the cherubims:

8 Og kerubarne breidde ut vengjerne sine yver den staden der kista stod, og soleis tekte kerubarne yver kista og berestengerne hennar.

So that the cherubims spread their wings over the place, in which the ark was set, and covered the ark itself and its staves.

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.

Now the ends of the staves wherewith the ark was carried, because they were some thing longer, were seen before the oracle: but if a man were a little outward, he could not see them. So the ark has been there 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.

And there was nothing else in the ark but the two tables which Moses put there at Horeb when the Lord gave the law to the children of Israel, at their coming 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,

Now when the priests were come out of the sanctuary, (for all the priests that could be found there, mere sanctified: and as yet at that time the courses and orders of the ministries were not divided among them, )

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,

Both the Levites and the singing men, that is, both they that were under Asaph, and they that were under Heman, and they that were under Idithun, with their sons, and their brethren, clothed with fine linen, sounded with cymbals, and psalteries, and harps, standing on the east side 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,

So when they all sounded together, both with trumpets, and voice, and cymbals, and organs, and with divers kind of musical instruments, and lifted up their voice on high: the sound was heard afar off, so that when they began to praise the Lord, and to say: Give glory to the Lord for he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever: the house of God was filled with a cloud.

14 so prestarne kunde ikkje standa og gjera tenesta for skuld skyi; for Herrens herlegdom fyllte Guds hus.

Nor could the priests stand and minister by reason of the cloud. For the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God.
