¹Tako bi priveden kraju posao što ga Salomon obavi za Dom Jahvin. Salomon unese sve svete darove oca svoga Davida - srebro, zlato i sve posuđe - i stavi ih u riznicu Božjega Doma.

¹And all the work was finished that Solomon made for the house of Jehovah. And Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels he put among the treasures of the house of God.

²Tada Salomon sazva u Jeruzalem sve Izraelove starješine, knezove plemenske i glavare obiteljske, da se prenese Kovčeg saveza Jahvina iz Davidova grada, to jest sa Siona.

²Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers of the children of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the city of David, which is Zion.

³Svi se ljudi Izraelovi sabraše pred kraljem na blagdan što je u sedmom mjesecu.

³And all the men of Israel assembled themselves to the king at the feast, that of the seventh month.

⁴Kad se sastadoše sve Izraelove starješine, leviti ponesoše Kovčeg

⁴And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up the ark.

⁵i Šator sastanka sa svim posvećenim priborom što bješe u Šatoru; svećenici ih i leviti prenesoše.

⁵And they brought up the ark, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the tent: the priests, the Levites, brought them up.

⁶Potom kralj Salomon i sva izraelska zajednica što se sabra k njemu žrtvovaše pred Kovčegom toliko ovaca i goveda da se ne mogahu ni prebrojiti ni procijeniti.

⁶And king Solomon, and all the assembly of Israel, that were assembled to him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen which could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.

⁷Svećenici donesoše Kovčeg saveza Jahvina na njegovo mjesto, u Debir Doma, to jest u Svetinju nad svetinjama, pod krila kerubinÄa.

⁷And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah to its place, into the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, under the wings of the cherubim;

⁸Kerubini su imali raširena krila nad mjestom gdje stajaše Kovčeg i zaklanjahu Kovčeg i njegove motke.

⁸and the cherubim stretched forth [their] wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its staves above.

⁹Motke su bile tako dugačke da su im se krajevi vidjeli iz Svetišta nasuprot Debiru, ali se nisu vidjele izvana i ondje stoje do dana današnjega.

⁹And the staves were long, so that the ends of the staves were seen outside the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without. And there they are to this day.

¹⁰U Kovčegu nije bilo ništa, osim dviju ploča koje metnu Mojsije na Horebu, gdje Jahve sklopi Savez s Izraelcima pošto iziđoše iz Egipta.

¹⁰There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put there at Horeb, when Jehovah made [a covenant] with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.

¹¹Svi svećenici izađoše iz Svetišta, jer su se svi nazočni svećenici posvetili bez obzira na redove.

¹¹And it came to pass when the priests were come out of the holy place (for all the priests that were present were hallowed without observing the courses;

¹²Svi levitski pjevači, Asaf, Heman, Jedutun sa sinovima i braćom, stajahu obučeni u bÓez, s cimbalima, harfama i citrama, istočno od žrtvenika, a s njima sto i dvadeset svećenika koji su trubili u trube.

¹²and the Levites the singers, all they of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, clad in byssus, with cymbals and lutes and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets),

¹³I dok su trubili i pjevali složno kao jedan i jednoglasno hvalili i slavili Jahvu, podižući glas uz trube, cimbale i druga glazbala, hvaleći Jahvu "jer je dobar i jer je vječna njegova ljubav", oblak ispuni Dom Jahvin.

¹³-- it came to pass when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one voice to be heard in praising and thanking Jehovah; and when they lifted up their voice with trumpets, and cymbals, and instruments of music, and praised Jehovah: For he is good, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever; that then the house, the house of Jehovah, was filled with a cloud,

¹⁴Svećenici ne mogoše od oblaka nastaviti službe: slava Jahvina ispuni Božji dom!

¹⁴and the priests could not stand to do their service because of the cloud; for the glory of Jehovah had filled the house of God.
