2 Crónicas 5
Nueva Biblia Viva
5 Una vez terminada la construcción del templo del Señor, Salomón trajo los obsequios dedicados al Señor por su padre, el rey David, y los guardaron en la tesorería del templo de Dios.
El cofre del pacto
2 Salomón procedió a reunir en Jerusalén a todos los dirigentes de Israel, jefes de tribus y clanes, para la ceremonia del traslado del cofre desde el santuario que está en la ciudad de David, conocida también como Sion. 3 Esta ceremonia tuvo lugar en el mes séptimo, que es la fecha en que se celebra la fiesta de los Tabernáculos. 4-5 Mientras los dirigentes de Israel miraban, los levitas levantaron el cofre y lo sacaron del santuario, junto con los demás utensilios sagrados. 6 ¡El rey Salomón y la congregación sacrificaron ovejas y bueyes delante del cofre en tanta cantidad que nadie logró llevar la cuenta!
7 Los sacerdotes llevaron el cofre a la sala interior del templo, que es el Lugar Santísimo, y lo colocaron bajo las alas de los querubines. 8 Los querubines con sus alas extendidas cubrían el cofre y las varas que se usaban para transportarlo. 9 Esas varas eran tan largas que sus extremos se podían ver desde el Lugar Santísimo, aunque no desde afuera. El cofre estaba todavía allí en el momento de escribirse esto. 10 En el cofre sólo estaban las dos tablas de piedra que Moisés había puesto en ella, cuando estaban en el monte Horeb, donde el Señor hizo un pacto con los israelitas, después de que salieron de Egipto.
11-12 Todos los sacerdotes allí presentes, sin importar su rango o grupo, participaron en el rito de purificación. Por su parte, los levitas cantores, es decir, Asaf, Hemán, Jedutún, junto con sus hijos y parientes, estaban de pie en el lado oriental del altar, vestidos con túnicas de lino fino, y portando címbalos, arpas y liras. Junto a ellos había ciento veinte sacerdotes que tocaban la trompeta. Cuando los sacerdotes salieron del Lugar Santo, 13-14 los trompetistas y los cantores comenzaron a alabar y a dar gracias al Señor, acompañados de trompetas, címbalos y demás instrumentos musicales. Y cuando entonaron a una voz el coro: «Den gracias al Señor, porque él es bueno, y su amor y su bondad son para siempre», una nube cubrió el templo del Señor. Debido a esta nube, los sacerdotes no pudieron continuar la ceremonia.
2 Chronicles 5
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.
2 Chronicles 5
New King James Version
The Ark Brought into the Temple
5 So (A)all the work that Solomon had done for the house of the Lord was finished; and Solomon brought in the things which his father David had dedicated: the silver and the gold and all the furnishings. And he put them in the treasuries of the house of God.
The Ark Brought into the Temple(B)
2 (C)Now Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel, in Jerusalem, that they might bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord up (D)from the City of David, which is Zion. 3 (E)Therefore all the men of Israel assembled with the king (F)at the feast, which was in the seventh month. 4 So all the elders of Israel came, and the (G)Levites took up the ark. 5 Then they brought up the ark, the tabernacle of meeting, and all the holy furnishings that were in the tabernacle. The priests and the Levites brought them up. 6 Also King Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled with him before the ark, were sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered for multitude. 7 Then the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place, into the (H)inner sanctuary of the [a]temple, to the Most Holy Place, under the wings of the cherubim. 8 For the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim overshadowed the ark and its poles. 9 The poles extended so that the ends of the (I)poles of the ark could be seen from the holy place, in front of the inner sanctuary; but they could not be seen from outside. And [b]they are there to this day. 10 Nothing was in the ark except the two tablets which Moses (J)put there at Horeb, [c]when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they had come out of Egypt.
11 And it came to pass when the priests came out of the Most Holy Place (for all the priests who were present had [d]sanctified themselves, without keeping to their (K)divisions), 12 (L)and the Levites who were the singers, all those of Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, stood at the east end of the altar, clothed in white linen, having cymbals, stringed instruments and harps, (M)and with them one hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets— 13 indeed it came to pass, when 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 music, and praised the Lord, saying:
(N)“For He is good,
For His mercy endures forever,”
that the house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud, 14 so that the priests could not [e]continue ministering because of the cloud; (O)for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God.
