2 Dnevnika 5
1 I tako se svrši sav posao što uradi Solomun za dom Gospodnji; i unese Solomun što bješe posvetio David otac njegov, i srebro i zlato i sudove, i ostavi u riznicu doma Božijega.
After Solomon’s workers had finished building the temple, Solomon put in the temple storage rooms everything that his father David had dedicated to Yahweh—all the silver and gold and all the other things that were used at the temple.
2 Tada sabra Solomun starješine Izrailjeve i sve glavare plemenske, knezove domova otaèkih sinova Izrailjevijeh u Jerusalim da prenesu kovèeg zavjeta Gospodnjega iz grada Davidova, koje je Sion.
Then King Solomon summoned to Jerusalem all the elders of Israel, all the leaders of the tribes and of the families/clans. He wanted them to help to bring to the temple Yahweh’s Sacred Chest from Zion [Hill], where it was in [the part of the city called] ‘The City of David’.
3 I skupiše se k caru svi ljudi Izrailjevi na praznik koji biva sedmoga mjeseca.
So all the leaders of Israel gathered together along with the king, during the Festival of [Living in Temporary] Shelters, in October.
4 I kad doðoše sve starješine Izrailjeve, uzeše Leviti kovèeg.
When they had all arrived, the descendants of Levi lifted up the Sacred Chest,
5 I prenesoše kovèeg i šator od sastanka i sve sudove svete što bjehu u šatoru, prenesoše sveštenici i Leviti.
and they carried it and the Sacred Tent and the sacred things that were inside it. The priests, who were also descended from Levi, carried them.
6 A car Solomun i sav zbor Izrailjski koji se sabra k njemu prinesoše pred kovèegom na žrtvu ovaca i goveda toliko da se ne mogaše od mnoštva ni izbrojiti ni proraèunati.
King Solomon and many of the other people of Israel who had gathered there walked in front of the Sacred Chest. And they sacrificed a huge amount of sheep and cattle. No one was able to count them [because there were very many].
7 I unesoše sveštenici kovèeg zavjeta Gospodnjega na mjesto njegovo, u unutrašnji dom, u svetinju nad svetinjama, pod krila heruvimima.
The priests then brought the Sacred Chest into the Most Holy Place, the inner room of the temple, and they placed it under the wings of the statues of winged creatures.
8 Jer heruvimima bijahu raširena krila nad mjestom gdje æe stajati kovèeg i zaklanjahu heruvimi kovèeg i poluge njegove ozgo.
The wings of those statues spread out over the Sacred Chest and over the poles by which it was carried.
9 I povukoše mu poluge tako da im se krajevi viðahu od kovèega na prednjoj strani svetinje nad svetinjama, ali se napolje ne viðahu, i ostaše ondje do danas.
The poles were very long, with the result that they could be seen by [those who were standing] at the entrance to the Most Holy Place, but they could not be seen by anyone standing outside the temple. Those poles are still there.
10 U kovèegu ne bješe ništa osim dvije ploèe koje metnu Mojsije na Horivu kad Gospod uèini zavjet sa sinovima Izrailjevijem pošto izidoše iz Misira.
The only things that were inside the Sacred Chest were the two stone tablets that Moses had put there at Sinai Mountain, where Yahweh made an agreement with the Israeli people after they came out of Egypt.
11 A kad sveštenici izidoše iz svetinje, jer sveštenici koji se naðoše osveštaše se ne pazeæi na red,
Then the priests left the Holy Place. All the priests who were there, from every group, had performed the rituals to cause them to be acceptable to God.
12 I Leviti pjevaèi svi, koji bijahu uz Asafa i Emana i Jedutuna, i sinovi njihovi i braæa njihova, obuèeni u tanko platno, stajahu s kimvalima i psaltirima i s guslama s istoène strane oltaru, i s njima sto i dvadeset sveštenika, koji trubljahu u trube,
All the descendants of Levi who were musicians—Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, their sons and their other relatives—stood on the east side of the altar. They were wearing linen clothes, and they were playing cymbals, harps, and lyres. There were 120 other priests who were blowing trumpets.
13 I kad oni koji trubljahu u trube i koji pjevahu, složno jednijem glasom hvaljahu i slavljahu Gospoda, i kad podizahu glas uz trube i kimvale i gusle, hvaleæi Gospoda da je dobar, da je dovijeka milost njegova, tada se napuni oblaka dom Gospodnji,
The men blowing trumpets, those playing the cymbals and other musical instruments, and the singers, made music together, praising Yahweh and singing this song: “Yahweh is good [to us]; he faithfully loves us forever.” Then [suddenly] the temple was filled with a cloud.
14 Te ne mogahu sveštenici stajati da služe od oblaka, jer se slave Gospodnje napuni dom Božji.
The glorious radiance of Yahweh filled the temple, with the result that the priests were not able to continue doing their work.
