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.

¹Da hele Arbejdet, som Salomo lod udføre ved HERRENs Hus, var færdigt, bragte Salomo sin Fader Davids Helliggaver, Sølvet og Guldet, derind og lagde alle Tingene i Skatkamrene i Guds Hus.

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.

²Derpå kaldte Salomo Israels Ældste og alle Stammernes Overhoveder, Israeliternes Fædrenehuses Øverster, sammen i Jerusalem for at føre HERRENs Pagts Ark op fra Davidsbyen, det er Zion.

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

³Så samledes alle Israels Mænd hos Kongen på Højtiden i Etanim Måned, det er den syvende Måned.

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

⁴Og alle Israels Ældste kom, og Leviterne har Arken.

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.

⁵Og de bragte Arken op tillige med Åbenbaringsteltett og alle de hellige Ting, der var i Teltet; Præsterne og Leviterne bragte dem op:

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.

⁶Og Kong Salomo tillige med hele Israels Menighed, som havde givet Møde hos ham foran Arken, ofrede Småkvæg og Hornkvæg, så meget, at det ikke var til at tælle eller overse.

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.

⁷Så førte Præsterne HERRENs Pagts Ark ind på dens Plads i Templets Inderhal, det Allerhelligste, og stillede den under Kerubernes Vinger;

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

⁸og Keruberne udbredte deres Vinger over Pladsen, hvor Arken stod, og således dannede Keruberne et Dække over Arken og dens Bærestænger.

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.

⁹Stængerne var så lange, at Enderne af dem kunde ses fra det Hellige foran Inderhallen, men de kunde ikke ses længere ude; og de er der den Dag i Dag.

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.

¹⁰Der var ikke andet i Arken end de to Tavler, Moses havde lagt ned i den på Horeb, Tavlerne med den Pagt, HERREN havde sluttet med Israeliterne, da de drog bort fra Ægypten.

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;

¹¹Da Præsteme derpå gik ud af Helligdommen - alle de Præster, der var til Stede, havde nemlig helliget sig uden Hensyn til Skifterne;

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;)

¹²og alle de levitiske Sangere, Asaf, Heman og Jedutun tillige med deres Sønner og Brødre stod østen for Alteret i Klæder af fint Linned med Cymbler, Harper og Citre, og sammen med dem stod 120 Præster, der blæste i Trompeter -

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,

¹³i samme Øjeblik som Trompetblæserne og Sangerne på een Gang stemte i for at love og prise HERREN og lod Trompeterne, Cymblerne og Musikinstrumenterne klinge og lovede HERREN med Ordene "thi han er god, og hans Miskundhed varer evindelig!" - fyldte Skyen HERRENs Hus,

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

¹⁴så at Præsterne af Skyen hindredes i at stå og udføre deres Tjeneste, thi HERRENs Herlighed fyldte Guds Hus.
