Вторая книга Паралипоменон 5
1 И внесе Соломон святая Давида отца своего, сребро и злато и вся сосуды, и даде в сокровище дому Господня.
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 Тогда собра Соломон вся старейшины Израилевы и вся началники колен, вожды отечеств сынов Израилевых во Иерусалим, да вознесут кивот завета Господня от града Давидова, иже есть Сион.
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 И собрашася ко царю вси мужие Израилевы в праздник, сей есть месяц седмый.
So all the leaders of Israel gathered together along with the king, during the Festival of [Living in Temporary] Shelters, in October.
4 И приидоша вси старейшины Израилевы, и взяша вси левити кивот
When they had all arrived, the descendants of Levi lifted up the Sacred Chest,
5 и внесоша его и скинию свидения и вся сосуды святыя, иже в скинии, и внесоша его священницы и левити.
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 Царь же Соломон и весь сонм сынов Израилевых, и боящиися и собрании пред кивотом, жряху телцы и овцы безчисленны и несочисляемы от множества.
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 И внесоша священницы кивот завета Господня на место его, еже есть молитвенник храма, во Святая Святых, под криле херувимов.
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 И бяху херувими распростерше крила своя над местом кивота, и покрываху херувими над кивотом и над носилами его свыше.
The wings of those statues spread out over the Sacred Chest and over the poles by which it was carried.
9 И длиннее бяху носила, и видяхуся главы носил от святых в лице молитвенника, и не видяхуся вне, и быша тамо даже до настоящаго дне.
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 Ничтоже бе в кивоте, токмо две скрижали, ихже положи Моисей в Хориве, егда закон даде Господь сыном Израилевым, исходящым им из земли Египетския.
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 И бысть исходящым священником от святых, вси бо священницы, иже ту обретошася, освящени быша и не бяху расположени в дневную чреду,
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 левити же и певцы вси с сынми Асафовыми, со Еманом, Идифумом, и с сынми их и с братиями их, облечени в ризы льняны, в кимвалех и псалтири и гуслех (возглашаху) стояще пред олтарем, и с ними жерцев сто двадесять трубяще трубами:
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 и бысть един глас в трублении и в псалмопении и в возглашении гласом единым еже хвалити и исповедатися Господеви. И егда воздвигоша глас в трубах и кимвалех и органех песней, и глаголаху: исповедайтеся Господеви, яко благ, яко в век милость Его: и дом исполнися облака славы Господни,
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 и не могоша священницы стати служити от лица облака, наполни бо слава Господня дом Божий.
The glorious radiance of Yahweh filled the temple, with the result that the priests were not able to continue doing their work.
