II Chronicles 5

وَكَمُلَ جَمِيعُ الْعَمَلِ الَّذِي عَمِلَهُ سُلَيْمَانُ لِبَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، وَأَدْخَلَ سُلَيْمَانُ أَقْدَاسَ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ. وَالْفِضَّةُ وَالذَّهَبُ وَجَمِيعُ الآنِيَةِ جَعَلَهَا فِي خَزَائِنِ بَيْتِ اللهِ.

Thus all the work that Solomon made for the house of the LORD was finished: and Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and all the instruments, put he among the treasures of the house of God.

حِينَئِذٍ جَمَعَ سُلَيْمَانُ شُيُوخَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَكُلَّ رُؤُوسِ الأَسْبَاطِ، رُؤَسَاءَ الآبَاءِ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لإِصْعَادِ تَابُوتِ عَهْدِ الرَّبِّ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، هِيَ صِهْيَوْنُ.

Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.

فَاجْتَمَعَ إِلَى الْمَلِكِ جَمِيعُ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي الْعِيدِ الَّذِي فِي الشَّهْرِ السَّابعِ.

Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king in the feast which was in the seventh month.

وَجَاءَ جَمِيعُ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَحَمَلَ اللاَّوِيُّونَ التَّابُوتَ،

And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up the ark.

وَأَصْعَدُوا التَّابُوتَ وَخَيْمَةَ الاجْتِمَاعِ مَعَ جَمِيعِ آنِيَةِ الْقُدْسِ الَّتِي فِي الْخَيْمَةِ، أَصْعَدَهَا الْكَهَنَةُ وَاللاَّوِيُّونَ.

And they brought up the ark, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, these did the priests and the Levites bring up.

وَالْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ وَكُلُّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الْمُجْتَمِعِينَ إِلَيْهِ أَمَامَ التَّابُوتِ كَانُوا يَذْبَحُونَ غَنَمًا وَبَقَرًا مَا لاَ يُحْصَى وَلاَ يُعَدُّ مِنَ الْكَثْرَةِ.

Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled unto him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor numbered for multitude.

وَأَدْخَلَ الْكَهَنَةُ تَابُوتَ عَهْدِ الرَّبِّ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ فِي مِحْرَابِ الْبَيْتِ فِي قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ إِلَى تَحْتِ جَنَاحَيِ الْكَرُوبَيْنِ.

And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, to the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims:

وَكَانَ الْكَرُوبَانِ بَاسِطَيْنِ أَجْنِحَتَهُمَا عَلَى مَوْضِعِ التَّابُوتِ. وَظَلَّلَ الْكَرُوبَانِ التَّابُوتَ وَعِصِيَّهُ مِنْ فَوْقُ.

For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above.

وَجَذَبُوا الْعِصِيَّ فَتَرَاءَتْ رُؤُوسُ الْعِصِيِّ مِنَ التَّابُوتِ أَمَامَ الْمِحْرَابِ وَلَمْ تُرَ خَارِجًا، وَهِيَ هُنَاكَ إِلَى هذَا الْيَوْمِ.

And they drew out the staves of the ark, that the ends of the staves were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without. And there it is unto this day.

لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي التَّابُوتِ إِلاَّ اللَّوْحَانِ اللَّذَانِ وَضَعَهُمَا مُوسَى فِي حُورِيبَ حِينَ عَاهَدَ الرَّبُّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِهِمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ.

There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put therein at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.

وَكَانَ لَمَّا خَرَجَ الْكَهَنَةُ مِنَ الْقُدْسِ، لأَنَّ جَمِيعَ الْكَهَنَةِ الْمَوْجُودِينَ تَقَدَّسُوا، لَمْ تُلاَحَظِ الْفِرَقُ.

And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place: (for all the priests that were present were sanctified, and did not then wait by course:

وَاللاَّوِيُّونَ الْمُغَنُّونَ أَجْمَعُونَ: آسَافُ وَهَيْمَانُ وَيَدُوثُونُ وَبَنُوهُمْ وَإِخْوَتُهُمْ، لاَبِسِينَ كَتَّانًا، بِالصُّنُوجِ وَالرَّبَابِ وَالْعِيدَانِ وَاقِفِينَ شَرْقِيَّ الْمَذْبَحِ، وَمَعَهُمْ مِنَ الْكَهَنَةِ مِئَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ يَنْفُخُونَ فِي الأَبْوَاقِ.

Also the Levites which were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, being arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them an hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets:)

وَكَانَ لَمَّا صَوَّتَ الْمُبَوِّقُونَ وَالْمُغَنُّونَ كَوَاحِدٍ صَوْتًا وَاحِدًا لِتَسْبِيحِ الرَّبِّ وَحَمْدِهِ، وَرَفَعُوا صَوْتًا بِالأَبْوَاقِ وَالصُّنُوجِ وَآلاَتِ الْغِنَاءِ وَالتَّسْبِيحِ لِلرَّبِّ: «لأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ لأَنَّ إِلَى الأَبَدِ رَحْمَتَهُ». أَنَّ البَيْتَ،بَيْتَ الرَّبِّ، امْتَلأَ سَحَابًا.

It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD;

وَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعِ الْكَهَنَةُ أَنْ يَقِفُوا لِلْخِدْمَةِ بِسَبَبِ السَّحَابِ، لأَنَّ مَجْدَ الرَّبِّ مَلأَ بَيْتَ اللهِ.

So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God.
