¹Setelah Raja Salomo selesai membangun Rumah TUHAN itu, ia menyimpan di dalam gudang-gudang Rumah itu semua perak, emas, dan barang-barang lain yang telah dipersembahkan oleh Daud ayahnya kepada TUHAN.

¹Thus all the work that Solomon did for the house of Yahweh was finished. Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated, even the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of the house of God.

²Setelah itu Raja Salomo menyuruh semua pemimpin suku dan kaum dari bangsa Israel berkumpul di Yerusalem untuk memindahkan Peti Perjanjian TUHAN dari Sion, Kota Daud ke Rumah TUHAN.

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

³Maka datanglah mereka semua pada hari raya Pondok Daun.

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

⁴Setelah semua pemimpin itu berkumpul, orang-orang Lewi mengangkat Peti Perjanjian itu,

⁴All the elders of Israel came: and the Levites took up the ark;

⁵dan membawanya ke Rumah TUHAN. Kemah TUHAN serta semua perlengkapannya dipindahkan juga ke Rumah TUHAN oleh para imam dan orang Lewi.

⁵and they brought up the ark, and the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; these the priests the Levites brought up.

⁶Raja Salomo dan seluruh rakyat Israel berkumpul di depan Peti Perjanjian itu lalu mempersembahkan kepada TUHAN domba dan sapi yang tak terhitung banyaknya.

⁶King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled to him, were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle, that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.

⁷Setelah itu para imam memasukkan Peti Perjanjian itu ke dalam Rumah TUHAN dan meletakkannya di bawah patung kerub di dalam Ruang Mahasuci.

⁷The priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Yahweh to its place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.

⁸Sayap patung-patung itu terbentang menutupi Peti itu dan kayu-kayu pengusungnya.

⁸For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.

⁹Kayu pengusung itu panjang sekali, sehingga ujung-ujungnya terlihat dari depan Ruang Mahasuci, tapi tidak terlihat dari luar. (Sampai hari ini kayu-kayu itu masih di situ.)

⁹The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen outside: and there it is to this day.

¹⁰Di dalam Peti Perjanjian itu tidak ada sesuatu pun kecuali dua lempeng batu. Batu-batu itu telah dimasukkan ke situ oleh Musa di Gunung Sinai, ketika TUHAN membuat perjanjian dengan bangsa Israel pada waktu mereka dalam perjalanan dari Mesir ke negeri Kanaan.

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

¹¹Semua imam yang ada di situ, dari semua kelompok, telah mempersiapkan diri untuk upacara itu. Semua penyanyi dan pemain musik dalam suku Lewi, yaitu Asaf, Heman, Yedutun dan seluruh anggota kaum mereka, memakai pakaian dari kain lenan. Orang-orang Lewi itu berdiri di sebelah timur mezbah dengan memegang simbal dan kecapi. Bersama mereka ada 120 orang imam yang meniup trompet. Nyanyian para biduan berpadu dengan iringan musik trompet, simbal dan alat musik lain. Inilah kata-kata pujian yang mereka nyanyikan untuk TUHAN: "Pujilah TUHAN, sebab Ia baik. Kasih-Nya kekal abadi." Pada waktu para imam keluar dari Rumah TUHAN itu, tiba-tiba Rumah itu penuh dengan cahaya kehadiran TUHAN, sehingga mereka tidak dapat meneruskan upacara ibadah.

¹¹It happened, when the priests had come out of the holy place, (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, and didn’t keep their divisions;

¹²(5:11)

¹²also the Levites who were the singers, all of them, even Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and their brothers, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals and stringed instruments and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them one hundred twenty priests sounding with trumpets;)

¹³(5:11)

¹³it happened, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking Yahweh; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised Yahweh, saying, “For he is good; for his loving kindness endures forever!” that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of Yahweh,

¹⁴(5:11)

¹⁴so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of Yahweh filled God’s house.
