歷代志下 5
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
5 這樣，所羅門完成了耶和華殿的一切工作。所羅門把他父親大衛獻給上帝的金銀和一切器具都搬進上帝殿的庫房。
運約櫃入聖殿
2 所羅門把以色列的長老、各支派的首領和族長召集到耶路撒冷，準備把耶和華的約櫃從大衛城錫安運上來。 3 在七月住棚節的時候，以色列人都聚集到所羅門王那裡。 4 以色列的長老到齊後，祭司便抬起約櫃， 5 祭司和利未人將約櫃、會幕和會幕裡的一切聖器運上來。 6 所羅門王和聚集到他那裡的以色列全體會眾在約櫃前獻祭，獻上的牛羊多得不可勝數。 7 祭司把耶和華的約櫃抬進內殿，即至聖所，放在兩個基路伯天使的翅膀下面。 8 基路伯天使展開翅膀，遮蓋約櫃和抬約櫃的橫杠。 9 橫杠非常長，在至聖所前面的聖所中也看得見橫杠的末端，但在聖所外面看不見。橫杠至今仍在那裡。 10 約櫃裡除了兩塊石版，沒有別的東西。石版是以色列人離開埃及後，耶和華在何烈山跟他們立約時，摩西放進去的。
耶和華的榮耀
11 隨後，祭司退出聖所，所有在場的祭司不分班次都已潔淨自己。 12 所有負責歌樂的利未人亞薩、希幔、耶杜頓，以及他們的兒子和親族都穿著細麻布衣服，站在祭壇的東邊，敲鈸、鼓瑟、彈琴，同時還有一百二十位祭司吹號。 13 吹號的和歌樂手一起同聲讚美和稱謝耶和華，伴隨著號、鈸及各種樂器的聲音，高聲讚美耶和華：
「祂是美善的，
祂的慈愛永遠長存！」
那時，有雲彩充滿了耶和華的殿， 14 以致祭司不能在殿裡供職，因為殿裡充滿了耶和華上帝的榮光。

The Ark Brought into the House of Yahweh
5 (A)Thus all the work that Solomon did for the house of Yahweh was finished. And Solomon brought in the [a](B)things set apart as holy by his father David, even the silver and the gold and all the utensils, and he put them in the treasuries of the house of God.
2 (C)Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the leaders of the fathers’ households of the sons of Israel to Jerusalem, (D)to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh from the city of David, which is Zion. 3 (E)And all the men of Israel assembled themselves to the king at (F)the feast, that is in the seventh month. 4 Then all the elders of Israel came, and (G)the Levites carried the ark. 5 And they brought up the ark and the tent of meeting and all the holy utensils which were in the tent; the Levitical priests brought them up. 6 And King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel who congregated with him before the ark, were sacrificing [b]so many sheep and oxen that they could not be counted or numbered. 7 Then the priests brought the ark of the covenant of Yahweh to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the Holy of Holies, under the wings of the cherubim. 8 And the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim made a covering over the ark and its poles from above. 9 But the poles were so long that (H)the ends of the poles of the ark could be seen before the inner sanctuary, but they could not be seen outside; and [c]they are there to this day. 10 (I)There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets which Moses put there at Horeb, where Yahweh cut a covenant with the sons of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.
The Glory of Yahweh Fills His House
11 Now it happened that when the priests came out of the holy place (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, without regard (J)to divisions), 12 and all the Levitical singers, (K)Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and relatives, clothed in fine linen, (L)with cymbals, harps, and lyres, standing east of the altar, and with them 120 priests (M)blowing trumpets 13 in unison when the trumpeters and the singers were to make themselves heard with one voice to praise and to give thanks to Yahweh, and when they lifted up their voice (N)accompanied by trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and when they praised Yahweh saying, “(O)He indeed is good for His lovingkindness endures forever,” then the house, the house of Yahweh, was filled with a cloud, 14 so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for (P)the glory of Yahweh filled the house of God.

Christian Standard Bible
5 So all the work Solomon did for the Lord’s temple was completed. Then Solomon brought the consecrated things of his father David—the silver, the gold, and all the utensils—and put them in the treasuries of God’s temple.
Preparations for the Temple Dedication
2 At that time(A) Solomon assembled at Jerusalem the elders of Israel—all the tribal heads, the ancestral chiefs of the Israelites—in order to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord up from the city of David,(B) that is, Zion. 3 So all the men of Israel were assembled in the king’s presence at the festival; this was in the seventh month.[a]
4 All the elders of Israel came, and the Levites picked up the ark. 5 They brought up the ark, the tent of meeting, and the holy utensils that were in the tent. The priests and the Levites brought them up. 6 King Solomon and the entire congregation of Israel who had gathered around him were in front of the ark sacrificing sheep, goats, and cattle that could not be counted or numbered because there were so many. 7 The priests brought the ark of the Lord’s covenant to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the temple, to the most holy place, beneath the wings of the cherubim.(C) 8 And the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark so that the cherubim formed a cover above the ark and its poles. 9 The poles were so long that their ends were seen from the holy place[b](D) in front of the inner sanctuary, but they were not seen from outside; they are still there today. 10 Nothing was in the ark except the two tablets that Moses had put in it at Horeb,[c](E) where the Lord had made a covenant with the Israelites when they came out of Egypt.
11 Now all the priests who were present had consecrated themselves regardless of their divisions.(F) When the priests came out of the holy place, 12 the Levitical singers dressed in fine linen and carrying cymbals, harps, and lyres(G) were standing east of the altar, and with them were 120 priests blowing trumpets.(H) The Levitical singers were descendants of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun and their sons(I) and relatives. 13 The trumpeters and singers joined together to praise and thank the Lord with one voice. They raised their voices, accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and musical instruments,(J) in praise to the Lord:
For he is good;
his faithful love endures forever.(K)
The temple, the Lord’s temple, was filled with a cloud.(L) 14 And because of the cloud, the priests were not able to continue ministering, for the glory of the Lord filled God’s temple.(M)
