2 Chronicles 5

1 So all the work that Solomon had performed for the house of the LORD was completed. Then Solomon brought in the items his father David had dedicated—the silver, the gold, and all the furnishings—and he placed them in the treasuries of the house of God.

1 所罗门完成耶和华殿的一切工作后，就把他父亲大卫献给上帝的金银和一切器具都搬进上帝殿的库房。

2 At that time Solomon assembled in Jerusalem the elders of Israel—all the tribal heads and family leaders of the Israelites—to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from Zion, the City of David.

2 所罗门把以色列的长老、各支派的首领和族长召集到耶路撒冷，准备把耶和华的约柜从大卫城锡安运上来。

3 So all the men of Israel came together to the king at the feast in the seventh month.

3 在七月住棚节的时候，以色列人都聚集到所罗门王那里。

4 When all the elders of Israel had arrived, the Levites took up the ark,

4 以色列的长老到齐后，利未人便抬起约柜，

5 and they brought up the ark and the Tent of Meeting with all its sacred furnishings. The Levitical priests carried them up.

5 祭司和利未人将约柜、会幕和会幕里的一切圣器运上来。

6 There, before the ark, King Solomon and the whole congregation of Israel who had assembled with him sacrificed so many sheep and oxen that they could not be counted or numbered.

6 所罗门王和聚集到他那里的以色列全体会众在约柜前献祭，献上的牛羊多得不可胜数。

7 Then the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, the Most Holy Place, beneath the wings of the cherubim.

7 祭司把耶和华的约柜抬进内殿，即至圣所，放在两个基路伯天使的翅膀下面。

8 For the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark and overshadowed the ark and its poles.

8 基路伯天使展开翅膀，遮盖约柜和抬约柜的横杠。

9 The poles of the ark extended far enough that their ends were visible from in front of the inner sanctuary, but not from outside the Holy Place; and they are there to this day.

9 横杠很长，在至圣所前面的圣所中也看得见横杠的末端，但在圣所外面看不见。横杠至今仍在那里。

10 There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets that Moses had placed in it at Horeb, where the LORD had made a covenant with the Israelites after they had come out of Egypt.

10 约柜里除了两块石版，没有别的东西。石版是以色列人离开埃及后，耶和华在何烈山跟他们立约时，摩西放进去的。

11 Now all the priests who were present had consecrated themselves regardless of their divisions. And when the priests came out of the Holy Place,

11 随后，祭司退出圣所，所有在场的祭司不分班次都已洁净自己。

12 all the Levitical singers—Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and relatives—stood on the east side of the altar, dressed in fine linen and playing cymbals, harps, and lyres, accompanied by 120 priests sounding trumpets.

12 所有负责歌乐的利未人亚萨、希幔、耶杜顿，以及他们的儿子和亲族都穿着细麻布衣服，站在祭坛的东边，敲钹、鼓瑟、弹琴，同时还有一百二十位祭司吹号。

13 The trumpeters and singers joined together to praise and thank the LORD with one voice. They lifted up their voices, accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and musical instruments, in praise to the LORD: “For He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.” And the temple, the house of the LORD, was filled with a cloud

13 吹号的和歌乐手一起同声赞美和称谢耶和华，伴随着号、钹及各种乐器的声音，高声赞美耶和华： “祂是美善的， 祂的慈爱永远长存！” 那时，有云彩充满了耶和华的殿，

14 so that the priests could not stand there to minister because of the cloud. For the glory of the LORD filled the house of God.

14 以致祭司不能在殿里供职，因为殿里充满了耶和华上帝的荣光。
