2 Kroniška 5
1 Tako je bilo vse delo, ki ga je Salomon naredil za Gospodovo hišo, končano. Salomon je prinesel noter vse stvari, ki jih je njegov oče David posvetil: srebro, zlato in vse priprave je položil med zaklade Božje hiše.
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 Potem je Salomon zbral Izraelove starešine in vse poglavarje rodov, vodilne izmed očetov Izraelovih otrok v Jeruzalem, da prenesejo gor skrinjo Gospodove zaveze iz Davidovega mesta, ki 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 Zato so se vsi možje iz Izraela zbrali skupaj h kralju na prazniku, ki je bil v sedmem mesecu.
So all the leaders of Israel gathered together along with the king, during the Festival of [Living in Temporary] Shelters, in October.
4 Prišli so vsi starešine Izraela in Lévijevci so dvignili skrinjo.
When they had all arrived, the descendants of Levi lifted up the Sacred Chest,
5 Skrinjo so prinesli gor, šotorsko svetišče skupnosti in vse svete posode, ki so bile v šotorskem svetišču, te so duhovniki in Lévijevci prinesli gor.
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 Tudi kralj Salomon in vsa Izraelova skupnost, ki so bili zbrani k njemu pred skrinjo, so žrtvovali ovce in vole, ki jih zaradi množice ni bilo mogoče prešteti.
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 Duhovniki so prinesli skrinjo Gospodove zaveze na njen kraj, k oraklju hiše, v najsvetejši kraj, celo pod peruti kerubov.
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 Kajti keruba sta svoje peruti razširjala nad prostorom skrinje in keruba sta od zgoraj pokrivala skrinjo in njena drogova.
The wings of those statues spread out over the Sacred Chest and over the poles by which it was carried.
9 Iz skrinje so izvlekli drogova, da sta bila konca drogov vidna od skrinje pred orakljem, toda od zunaj nista bila vidna. In tam je to do današnjega dne.
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 V skrinji ni bilo ničesar razen dveh tabel, ki ju je Mojzes položil vanjo pri Horebu, ko je Gospod sklenil zavezo z Izraelovimi otroki, ko so prišli iz Egipta.
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 In pripetilo se je, ko so duhovniki prišli iz svetega kraja (kajti vsi duhovniki, ki so bili prisotni, so bili posvečeni in takrat niso potem čakali po skupini.
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 Tudi Lévijevci, ki so bili pevci, vsi izmed njih od Asáfa, Hemána in Jedutúna, z njihovimi sinovi in njihovimi brati, ki so bili oblečeni v belo platno ter imeli cimbale, plunke in harfe, so stali na vzhodnem koncu oltarja in z njimi sto dvajset duhovnikov, ki so trobili s trobentami.)
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 Zgodilo se je celo, ko so bili trobentači in pevci kakor eno, da naredijo en zvok, da se ga sliši v hvaljenju in zahvaljevanju Gospodu, in ko so povzdignili svoj glas s trobentami, cimbalami in glasbenimi instrumenti ter hvalili Gospoda, rekoč: »Ker je dober, kajti njegovo usmiljenje traja večno, « da je bila potem hiša, napolnjena z oblakom, torej Gospodova hiša,
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 tako da duhovniki zaradi oblaka niso mogli stati, da bi služili, kajti Gospodova slava je napolnila Božjo hišo.
The glorious radiance of Yahweh filled the temple, with the result that the priests were not able to continue doing their work.
