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.

5 Astfel a fost isprăvită toată(A) lucrarea pe care a făcut-o Solomon pentru Casa Domnului. Apoi a adus argintul, aurul şi toate uneltele pe care le închinase Domnului tatăl său, David, şi le-a pus în vistieriile Casei lui Dumnezeu.
Sfinţirea Templului
2 Atunci(B), Solomon a strâns la Ierusalim pe bătrânii lui Israel şi pe toate căpeteniile seminţiilor, pe capii familiilor copiilor lui Israel, ca să mute din cetatea(C) lui David, adică din Sion, chivotul legământului Domnului. 3 Toţi bărbaţii lui Israel s-au adunat(D) la împărat pentru sărbătoarea(E) din luna a şaptea. 4 Când au ajuns toţi bătrânii lui Israel, leviţii au ridicat chivotul. 5 Au adus chivotul, cortul întâlnirii şi toate uneltele sfinte care erau în cort; preoţii şi leviţii le-au dus. 6 Împăratul Solomon şi toată adunarea lui Israel chemată la el au stat înaintea chivotului. Au jertfit oi şi boi, care nu se pot nici socoti, nici număra din pricina mulţimii lor. 7 Preoţii au dus chivotul legământului Domnului la locul lui, în Sfântul Locaş al casei, în Locul Preasfânt, sub aripile heruvimilor. 8 Heruvimii aveau aripile întinse peste locul chivotului şi acopereau chivotul şi drugii lui pe deasupra. 9 Drugilor li se dăduse o astfel de lungime încât capetele lor se vedeau la o depărtare de chivot dinaintea Sfântului Locaş, dar nu se vedeau de afară. Chivotul a fost acolo până în ziua de azi. 10 În chivot nu erau decât cele două table, pe care le pusese(F) acolo Moise, în Horeb, când a făcut Domnul legământ cu copiii lui Israel, la ieşirea lor din Egipt. 11 În clipa când au ieşit preoţii din Locul Sfânt – căci toţi preoţii de faţă se sfinţiseră fără să mai ţină şirul cetelor 12 şi toţi leviţii(G) care erau cântăreţi: Asaf, Heman, Iedutun, fiii şi fraţii lor, îmbrăcaţi în in subţire, stăteau, la răsăritul altarului, cu chimvale, alăute şi harpe şi aveau cu(H) ei o sută douăzeci de preoţi care sunau din trâmbiţe – 13 şi când cei ce sunau din trâmbiţe şi cei ce cântau, unindu-se într-un glas ca să mărească şi să laude pe Domnul, au sunat din trâmbiţe, chimvale şi celelalte instrumente şi au mărit pe Domnul prin aceste cuvinte: „Căci este bun(I), căci îndurarea Lui ţine în veci!”, în clipa aceea, casa, şi anume Casa Domnului, s-a umplut cu un nor. 14 Preoţii n-au putut să mai stea acolo ca să facă slujba din pricina norului, căci(J) slava Domnului umpluse Casa lui Dumnezeu.

5 When all the work Solomon had done for the temple of the Lord was finished,(A) he brought in the things his father David had dedicated(B)—the silver and gold and all the furnishings—and he placed them in the treasuries of God’s temple.
The Ark Brought to the Temple(C)
2 Then Solomon summoned to Jerusalem the elders of Israel, all the heads of the tribes and the chiefs of the Israelite families, to bring up the ark(D) of the Lord’s covenant from Zion, the City of David. 3 And all the Israelites(E) came together to the king at the time of the festival in the seventh month.
4 When all the elders of Israel had arrived, the Levites took up the ark, 5 and they brought up the ark and the tent of meeting and all the sacred furnishings in it. The Levitical priests(F) carried them up; 6 and King Solomon and the entire assembly of Israel that had gathered about him were before the ark, sacrificing so many sheep and cattle that they could not be recorded or counted.
7 The priests then brought the ark(G) of the Lord’s covenant to its place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, the Most Holy Place, and put it beneath the wings of the cherubim. 8 The cherubim(H) spread their wings over the place of the ark and covered the ark and its carrying poles. 9 These poles were so long that their ends, extending from the ark, could be seen from in front of the inner sanctuary, but not from outside the Holy Place; and they are still there today. 10 There was nothing in the ark except(I) the two tablets(J) that Moses had placed in it at Horeb, where the Lord made a covenant with the Israelites after they came out of Egypt.
11 The priests then withdrew from the Holy Place. All the priests who were there had consecrated themselves, regardless of their divisions.(K) 12 All the Levites who were musicians(L)—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. They were accompanied by 120 priests sounding trumpets.(M) 13 The trumpeters and musicians joined in unison to give praise and thanks to the Lord. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals and other instruments, the singers raised their voices in praise to the Lord and sang:
“He is good;
his love endures forever.”(N)
Then the temple of the Lord was filled with the cloud,(O) 14 and the priests could not perform(P) their service because of the cloud,(Q) for the glory(R) of the Lord filled the temple of God.
