历代志下 5
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
工程完成(A)
5 所羅門為耶和華的殿所作的一切工程完成了以後,就把他父親大衛分別為聖的東西:金銀和一切器皿,都帶來存放在神殿的庫房裡。
運約櫃進殿(B)
2 那時,所羅門把以色列的長老、各支派的首領和以色列人各家族的首領,都召集到耶路撒冷,要把耶和華的約櫃從大衛城,就是錫安運上來。 3 於是,以色列眾人在七月的節期來到時,都聚集到王那裡。 4 以色列的眾長老來到了,利未人就抬起約櫃。 5 他們把約櫃、會幕和會幕裡的一切神聖器皿都抬上來;是祭司和利未人把它們抬上來的。 6 所羅門王和那些聚集到他那裡的以色列全體會眾,都在約櫃前獻上牛羊為祭,數量無法計算,不能數點。 7 眾祭司把耶和華的約櫃抬進放約櫃的地方,就是內殿,至聖所裡面,放在兩個基路伯的翅膀底下。 8 基路伯在約櫃上面張開翅膀,遮蓋著約櫃和抬約櫃的槓。 9 那兩根槓很長,在內殿前可以看見約櫃那裡的槓頭,在殿外卻看不見;直到今日,那兩根槓還在那裡。 10 約櫃裡只有兩塊石版,就是以色列人出埃及以後,耶和華和他們立約的時候,摩西在何烈山放進去的。
耶和華的榮光充滿了殿(C)
11 眾祭司從聖所裡出來的時候(因為所有在場的祭司,不分班次地全都自潔), 12 全體負責歌唱的利未人和亞薩、希幔、耶杜頓,以及他們的兒子和親族,都穿著細麻布的衣服,站在祭壇的東邊,敲鈸、鼓瑟、彈琴;和他們在一起的,還有一百二十個祭司吹號; 13 吹號的和歌唱的都一致同聲地讚美稱謝耶和華。他們吹號、敲鈸,用各種樂器高聲讚美耶和華,說:“耶和華是良善的,他的慈愛永遠長存。”那時雲彩充滿了那殿,就是耶和華的殿。 14 由於那雲彩的緣故,祭司都不能侍立供職,因為 神的殿充滿了耶和華的榮光。
2 Chronicles 5
New English Translation
5 1 When Solomon had finished constructing the Lord’s temple, he put the holy items that belonged to his father David (the silver, gold, and all the other articles) in the treasuries of God’s temple.
Solomon Moves the Ark into the Temple
2 Then Solomon convened Israel’s elders—all the leaders of the Israelite tribes and families—in Jerusalem, so they could witness the transferal of the ark of the covenant of the Lord from the City of David[a] (that is, Zion).[b] 3 All the men of Israel assembled before the king during the festival[c] in the seventh month.[d] 4 When all Israel’s elders had arrived, the Levites lifted the ark. 5 The priests and Levites carried the ark, the tent where God appeared to his people,[e] and all the holy items in the tent.[f] 6 Now King Solomon and all the Israelites who had assembled with him went on ahead of the ark and sacrificed more sheep and cattle than could be counted or numbered.[g]
7 The priests brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its assigned[h] place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, in the Most Holy Place under the wings of the cherubim. 8 The cherubim’s wings extended over the place where the ark sat; the cherubim overshadowed the ark and its poles.[i] 9 The poles were so long their ends extending out from the ark were visible from in front of the inner sanctuary, but they could not be seen from beyond that point.[j] They have remained there to this very day. 10 There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets Moses had placed there in Horeb.[k] (It was there that[l] the Lord made a covenant with the Israelites after he brought them out of the land of Egypt.)
11 The priests left the Holy Place.[m] All the priests who participated had consecrated themselves, no matter which division they represented.[n] 12 All the Levites who were musicians, including Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and relatives, wore linen. They played cymbals and stringed instruments as they stood east of the altar. They were accompanied by 120 priests who blew trumpets. 13 The trumpeters and musicians played together, praising and giving thanks to the Lord. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and other instruments, they loudly praised the Lord, singing:[o] “Certainly he is good; certainly his loyal love endures!” Then a cloud filled the Lord’s temple.[p] 14 The priests could not carry out their duties[q] because of the cloud; the Lord’s splendor filled God’s temple.

King James Version
5 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.
2 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.
3 Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king in the feast which was in the seventh month.
4 And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up the ark.
5 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.
6 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.
7 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:
8 For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above.
9 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.
10 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.
11 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:
12 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:)
13 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;
14 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.
