2 Crónicas 5
1 Así se terminó la obra que Salomón hizo para la Casa de Yavé. Salomón introdujo los objetos que su padre David consagró: la plata, el oro y todos los utensilios. Los depositó en el tesoro de la Casa de ʼElohim.
Thus all the work that Solomon did for the house of Jehovah was finished. Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated, even the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of the house of God.
2 Después Salomón reunió en Jerusalén a los ancianos de Israel, todos los jefes de las tribus y los jefes de casas paternas de los hijos de Israel para subir el Arca del Pacto de Yavé desde la Ciudad de David, la cual es Sion.
Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the ancestral leaders 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 Todos los hombres de Israel se congregaron ante el rey en la solemnidad del mes séptimo.
And all the men of Israel assembled themselves to the king at the feast, which was in the seventh month.
4 Cuando todos los ancianos de Israel llegaron, los levitas alzaron el Arca.
All the elders of Israel came: and the Levites took up the ark;
5 Los sacerdotes levitas subieron el Arca, el Tabernáculo de Reunión y todos los utensilios sagrados que había dentro del Tabernáculo.
and they brought up the ark, and the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; these the priests the Levites brought up.
6 El rey Salomón y toda la congregación de Israel que se reunió con él delante del Arca sacrificaron ovejas y becerros, los cuales, a causa de su gran cantidad no se pudieron contar ni calcular.
King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled to him, were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle, that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.
7 Entonces los sacerdotes introdujeron el Arca del Pacto de Yavé a su puesto en el Lugar Santísimo de la Casa debajo de las alas de los querubines,
The priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, under the wings of the cherubim.
8 porque los querubines extienden las alas sobre el lugar del Arca, de modo que los querubines cubren el Arca y sus varas por encima.
For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.
9 Aunque las varas eran tan largas que los extremos de ellas se podían ver desde el Lugar Santo que está frente al Lugar Santísimo, no podían verse desde afuera. Y así están hasta hoy.
The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the inner sanctuary; but they were not seen outside. And they are there to this day.
10 Dentro del Arca no había sino las dos tablas que Moisés puso allí en Horeb, donde Yavé pactó con los hijos de Israel después que salieron de Egipto.
There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets which Moses put at Horeb, when Jehovah made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.
11 Aconteció que cuando los sacerdotes salían del Santuario (porque todos los sacerdotes presentes se purificaron sin tener en cuenta las clases),
It happened, when the priests had come out of the holy place, (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, regardless of the divisions;
12 y todos los levitas cantores, Asaf, Hemán y Jedutún, con sus hijos y hermanos, cubiertos con lino fino, estaban en pie con címbalos, salterios y arpas al oriente del altar, y con ellos 120 sacerdotes que tocaban trompetas,
also the Levites who were the singers, all of them, even Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and their brothers, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals and stringed instruments and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them one hundred twenty priests sounding with trumpets; )
13 los trompetistas y los cantores se unieron para proclamar a una voz. Alababan y daban gracias a Yavé. Al alzar la voz con las trompetas, los címbalos y los otros instrumentos musicales, alababan a Yavé: Porque es bueno, porque para siempre es su misericordia, una nube llenó la Casa de Yavé.
it happened, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking Jehovah; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised Jehovah, saying, "For he is good; for his loving kindness endures forever," then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of Jehovah,
14 Los sacerdotes no pudieron continuar ministrando por causa de la nube, porque la gloria de Yavé llenó la Casa de ʼElohim.
so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of Jehovah filled God's house.
