2 Cronici 5
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
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.
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.

English Standard Version
5 (A)Thus all the work that Solomon did for the house of the Lord was finished. And Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated, and stored the silver, the gold, and all the vessels in the treasuries of the house of God.
The Ark Brought to the Temple
2 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the leaders of the fathers' houses of the people of Israel, in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of (B)the city of David, which is Zion. 3 And all the men of Israel assembled before the king at the feast that is in the seventh month. 4 And all the elders of Israel came, (C)and the Levites took up the ark. 5 And they brought up the ark, the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the tent; (D)the Levitical priests brought them up. 6 And King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who had assembled before him, were before the ark, sacrificing so many sheep and oxen that they could not be counted or numbered. 7 Then the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place, in the inner sanctuary of the house, in the Most Holy Place, underneath the wings of the cherubim. 8 The cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark, so that the cherubim made a covering above the ark and its poles. 9 And the poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen (E)from the Holy Place before the inner sanctuary, but they could not be seen from outside. And they are[a] there to this day. 10 There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets (F)that Moses put there at Horeb, where the Lord made a covenant with the people of Israel, when they came out of Egypt. 11 And when the priests came out of the Holy Place (for all the priests who were present had consecrated themselves, without regard to (G)their divisions, 12 and all the Levitical (H)singers, (I)Asaph, (J)Heman, and Jeduthun, their sons and kinsmen, arrayed in fine linen, with (K)cymbals, harps, and lyres, stood east of the altar with 120 (L)priests who were trumpeters; 13 and it was the duty of the trumpeters and singers to make themselves heard in unison in praise and thanksgiving to the Lord), and when the song was raised, (M)with trumpets and cymbals and other musical instruments, in praise to the Lord,
(N)“For he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever,”
the house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud, 14 so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, (O)for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God.
