2 Chroniques 5
Louis Segond
5 Ainsi fut achevé tout l'ouvrage que Salomon fit pour la maison de l'Éternel. Puis il apporta l'argent, l'or et tous les ustensiles que David, son père, avait consacrés, et il les mit dans les trésors de la maison de Dieu.
2 Alors Salomon assembla à Jérusalem les anciens d'Israël et tous les chefs des tribus, les chefs de famille des enfants d'Israël, pour transporter de la cité de David, qui est Sion, l'arche de l'alliance de l'Éternel.
3 Tous les hommes d'Israël se réunirent auprès du roi pour la fête, qui se célébra le septième mois.
4 Lorsque tous les anciens d'Israël furent arrivés, les Lévites portèrent l'arche.
5 Ils transportèrent l'arche, la tente d'assignation, et tous les ustensiles sacrés qui étaient dans la tente: ce furent les sacrificateurs et les Lévites qui les transportèrent.
6 Le roi Salomon et toute l'assemblée d'Israël convoquée auprès de lui se tinrent devant l'arche. Ils sacrifièrent des brebis et des boeufs, qui ne purent être ni comptés, ni nombrés, à cause de leur multitude.
7 Les sacrificateurs portèrent l'arche de l'alliance de l'Éternel à sa place, dans le sanctuaire de la maison, dans le lieu très saint, sous les ailes des chérubins.
8 Les chérubins avaient les ailes étendues sur la place de l'arche, et ils couvraient l'arche et ses barres par-dessus.
9 On avait donné aux barres une longueur telle que leurs extrémités se voyaient à distance de l'arche devant le sanctuaire, mais ne se voyaient point du dehors. L'arche a été là jusqu'à ce jour.
10 Il n'y avait dans l'arche que les deux tables que Moïse y plaça en Horeb, lorsque l'Éternel fit alliance avec les enfants d'Israël, à leur sortie d'Égypte.
11 Au moment où les sacrificateurs sortirent du lieu saint, -car tous les sacrificateurs présents s'étaient sanctifiés sans observer l'ordre des classes,
12 et tous les Lévites qui étaient chantres, Asaph, Héman, Jeduthun, leurs fils et leurs frères, revêtus de byssus, se tenaient à l'orient de l'autel avec des cymbales, des luths et des harpes, et avaient auprès d'eux cent vingt sacrificateurs sonnant des trompettes,
13 et lorsque ceux qui sonnaient des trompettes et ceux qui chantaient, s'unissant d'un même accord pour célébrer et pour louer l'Éternel, firent retentir les trompettes, les cymbales et les autres instruments, et célébrèrent l'Éternel par ces paroles: Car il est bon, car sa miséricorde dure à toujours! en ce moment, la maison, la maison de l'Éternel fut remplie d'une nuée.
14 Les sacrificateurs ne purent pas y rester pour faire le service, à cause de la nuée; car la gloire de l'Éternel remplissait la maison de Dieu.

New International Version
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.

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.
