2 Cronica 5
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
5 Nang matapos na ni Solomon ang lahat ng gawain para sa templo ng Panginoon, dinala niya sa bodega ng templo ang lahat ng bagay na itinalaga ng ama niyang si David pati na ang ginto, pilak at iba pang kagamitan.
Dinala sa Templo ang Kahon ng Kasunduan(A)
2 Ipinatawag ni Haring Solomon sa Jerusalem ang mga tagapamahala ng Israel at ang lahat ng pinuno ng mga lahi at ng mga pamilya sa Israel, para kunin ang Kahon ng Kasunduan ng Panginoon mula sa Zion, ang Lungsod ni David. 3 Pumunta silang lahat kay Haring Solomon noong panahon ng Pista ng Pagtatayo ng mga Kubol, nang ikapitong buwan.
4-5 Nang magkatipon na ang lahat ng tagapamahala ng Israel, kinuha ng mga pari at ng mga Levita ang Kahon, ang Toldang Tipanan at ang mga banal na gamit nito. Dinala nilang lahat ito sa templo. 6 Naghandog si Haring Solomon at ang buong mamamayan ng Israel sa harapan ng Kahon ng Kasunduan. Napakaraming tupa at baka ang kanilang inihandog, hindi ito mabilang dahil sa dami.
7 Pagkatapos, dinala ng mga pari ang Kahon ng Kasunduan ng Panginoon sa lugar nito roon sa pinakaloob ng templo, sa Pinakabanal na Lugar, sa ilalim ng mga pakpak ng mga kerubin. 8 Nakalukob ang pakpak ng mga kerubin kaya natatakpan ang Kahon at ang mga hawakang pasanan nito. 9 Itong mga hawakang pasanan ay mahaba, ang dulo nito ay kita sa Banal na Lugar, sa harapan ng pinakaloob ng templo, pero hindi ito makita sa labas ng Banal na Lugar. At naroon pa ito hanggang ngayon. 10 Walang ibang laman ang Kahon maliban sa dalawang malalapad na bato na inilagay ni Moises noong nandoon siya sa Horeb, kung saan gumawa ng kasunduan ang Panginoon sa mga Israelita pagkatapos nilang lumabas sa Egipto.
11 Pagkatapos, lumabas ang mga pari sa Banal na Lugar. Ang lahat ng pari na naroon ay nagpakalinis, oras man ng kanilang paglilingkod o hindi. 12 Ang mga musikerong Levita na sina Asaf, Heman, Jedutun at ang kanilang mga anak at mga kamag-anak ay tumayo sa bandang silangan ng altar. Nakasuot sila ng pinong linen at tumutugtog ng pompyang, alpa at lira. Sinasamahan sila ng 120 pari na nagpapatunog ng trumpeta. 13 Ang mga mang-aawit ay nagpuri at nagpasalamat sa Panginoon na tinutugtugan ng mga trumpeta, pompyang at iba pang mga instrumento. Ito ang kanilang inaawit:
“Ang Panginoon ay mabuti; ang pag-ibig niyaʼy walang hanggan.”
Pagkatapos, may ulap na bumalot sa templo ng Panginoon. 14 Hindi na makaganap ang mga pari ng kanilang gawain sa templo dahil sa ulap, dahil binalot ng makapangyarihang presensya ng Panginoon ang kanyang templo.
2 Chronicles 5
International Standard Version
The Ark is Placed in the Temple(A)
5 As soon as Solomon had completed the Lord’s Temple, he installed the holy items that had belonged to his father David, including the silver, gold, and all the other items in the treasure rooms of God’s Temple. 2 Then Solomon called Israel’s elders together, including all the leaders of the tribes and families of Israel. They met in Jerusalem to transfer the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord from Zion, the City of David. 3 All the men of Israel assembled in front of the king during the Festival of Tents[a] that takes place in the seventh month[b] of the year.[c]
4 As soon as all of Israel’s elders had arrived, the descendants of Levi lifted the ark 5 and carried it, the tent where God met with his people,[d] and all of the sacred implements that belonged in the tent. The Levitical priests carried these up to the City of David.[e] 6 King Solomon and all the Israelis who had assembled together proceeded ahead of the ark and sacrificed more sheep and oxen than could be counted or recorded due to the number of sacrifices.[f]
7 The priests transported the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord to the place created for it within the inner sanctuary of the Temple, into the Most Holy Place under the wings of the cherubim. 8 The wings of the cherubim extended over where the ark and its carrying poles[g] had been placed, 9 but the poles were long enough for their ends to extend to the front of the inner sanctuary, even though they could not be seen from outside. They remain there to this day. 10 There was nothing in the ark except for the two tablets that Moses had placed there while Israel was encamped[h] at Horeb, where the Lord made a covenant with the Israelis after he had brought them out of the land of Egypt.
11 After this, the priests vacated the Holy Place. (Meanwhile, all the priests who were participating consecrated themselves, irrespective of their Levitical divisions. 12 All the musicians who were descendants of Levi, including Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and relatives wore linen and played cymbals and stringed instruments as they stood east of the altar. Accompanied by 120 priests who played trumpets, 13 the trumpeters and musicians played in union, praising and giving thanks to the Lord. They praised the Lord loudly and sang, “He is good, and his gracious love is eternal,” accompanied by the trumpets, cymbals, and other musical instruments.) As they did this,[i] a cloud filled the Temple, that is, the Lord’s Temple, 14 and the priests were unable to complete their duties because of the cloud, since the glory of the Lord had filled God’s Temple.
