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.

Endagaano Enkadde nʼEndagaano Empya
5 (A)Bw’atyo Sulemaani n’amaliriza omulimu gwonna ogwa yeekaalu ya Mukama. N’alyoka aleeta ebintu kitaawe Dawudi bye yawonga, effeeza ne zaabu n’ebintu ebirala byonna ebyole, n’abiteeka mu mawanika ga yeekaalu ya Katonda.
Essanduuko Ereetebwa mu Yeekaalu
2 (B)Awo Sulemaani n’akuŋŋaanya abakadde ba Isirayiri, n’abakulu b’ebika, n’abakulu b’ennyumba za bajjajja b’abantu ba Isirayiri bagende baleete essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama okuva mu Sayuuni, ekibuga kya Dawudi. 3 (C)Abasajja bonna aba Isirayiri ne bakuŋŋaanira mu maaso ga kabaka mu kiseera eky’embaga mu mwezi ogw’omusanvu.
4 Abakadde bonna aba Isirayiri bwe baatuuka, Abaleevi ne basitula essanduuko, 5 (D)ne bagireeta, n’Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, n’ebintu byonna ebitukuvu ebyali mu weema. Bakabona n’Abaleevi be baabisitula.
6 Awo kabaka Sulemaani n’ekibiina kyonna ekya Isirayiri, abaali bakuŋŋaanye nga bamwetoolodde, nga bali mu maaso g’essanduuko, ne bawaayo ssaddaaka ez’endiga n’ente, ezitaabalibwa muwendo.
7 (E)Awo bakabona ne baleeta essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama munda mu kifo kyayo mu watukuvu wa yeekaalu, mu Kifo Ekitukuvu Ennyo, ne bagiteeka wansi w’ebiwaawaatiro bya bakerubi. 8 (F)Bakerubi baayanjalanga ebiwaawaatiro byabwe okubuna ekifo eky’essanduuko, ne babikkanga essanduuko n’emisituliro gyayo. 9 Era emisituliro gyali miwanvu nnyo nga n’okulengerebwa girengerebwa okuva mu watukuvu, naye nga tegirabika ng’omuntu asinzidde ebweru; era ekyali eyo ne leero. 10 (G)Essanduuko yalimu ebipande Musa bye yateekamu nga ali ku Kolebu, Mukama gye yakolera endagaano n’Abayisirayiri, bwe baali bavudde mu Misiri.
11 (H)Awo bakabona bonna ne bava mu Kifo Ekitukuvu. Bonna abaaliwo baali beetukuzizza, obutayawula mu bibiina byabwe. 12 (I)Abaleevi bonna abaali abayimbi, ng’omwo mwe muli Asafu, Kemani, Yedusuni ne batabani baabwe n’ab’eŋŋanda zaabwe nga bambadde bafuta ennungi, nga bakutte ebitaasa, n’entongooli, n’ennanga, ne bayimirira ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba olw’ekyoto, wamu ne bakabona kikumi mu abiri abaafuuwanga amakondeere. 13 (J)Awo abaafuuwanga amakondeere n’abayimbi ne beegattira wamu mu ddoboozi ery’awamu ne batendereza era ne beebaza Mukama. Ne batendereza Mukama nga bafuuwa amakondeere, nga bakuba n’ebitaasa, n’ebivuga ebirala nga bayimba nti,
“Mulungi,
kubanga okwagala kwe okwenkalakkalira kubeerera emirembe n’emirembe.”
Awo yeekaalu ya Mukama n’ejjula ekire. 14 (K)Bakabona ne batasobola kukola mulimu gwabwe ogw’obuweereza olw’ekire, kubanga ekitiibwa kya Mukama kyajjula yeekaalu ya Mukama.
