2 Crónicas 5

EL LIBRO DEL PUEBLO DE DIOS	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Así fue terminado todo el trabajo que hizo el rey Salomón para la Casa del Señor. Salomón llevó todas las ofrendas que había consagrado su padre David: la plata, el oro y los demás utensilios, y los depositó en los tesoros de la Casa de Dios.	1 Then Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had vowed, the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels, which he placed in the treasuries of the house of God.
2 Entonces Salomón reunió en Jerusalén a los ancianos de Israel, a todos los jefes de las tribus y a los príncipes de las casas paternas de los israelitas, para subir el Arca de la Alianza del Señor desde la Ciudad de David, o sea, desde Sión.	2 After this, he gathered together those greater by birth of Israel, and all the leaders of the tribes, and the heads of the families, from the sons of Israel, to Jerusalem, so that they might bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord from the City of David, which is Zion.
3 Todos los hombres de Israel se reunieron junto al rey durante la Fiesta del séptimo mes.	3 And so, all the men of Israel went to the king, on the solemn day of the seventh month.
4 Cuando llegaron todos los ancianos de Israel, los levitas levantaron el Arca,	4 And when all the elders of Israel had arrived, the Levites carried the ark,
5 y la subieron con la Carpa del Encuentro y con todos los objetos sagrados que había en la Carpa. Los que trasladaron todo eso fueron los sacerdotes levíticos.	5 and they brought it in, along with all the equipment of the tabernacle. Then too, the priests with the Levites carried the vessels of the sanctuary, which were in the tabernacle.
6 Mientras tanto, el rey Salomón y toda la comunidad de Israel reunida junto a él delante del Arca, sacrificaban carneros y toros, en tal cantidad que no se los podía contar ni calcular.	6 Now king Solomon, and the entire assembly of Israel, and all who had gathered together before the ark, were immolating rams and oxen without any number, for so great was the multitude of the victims.
7 Los sacerdotes introdujeron el Arca de la Alianza del Señor en su sitio, en el lugar santísimo de la Casa –el Santo de los santos– bajo las alas de los querubines.	7 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place, that is, to the oracle of the temple, in the Holy of Holies, under the wings of the cherubim,
8 Los querubines desplegaban sus alas sobre el sitio destinado el Arca, y recubrían por encima el Arca y sus andas.	8 so that the cherubim extended their wings over the place where the ark was positioned, and they covered the ark itself and its bars.
9 Las andas eran tan largas que sus extremos se veían desde el Santo, por delante del lugar santísimo, aunque no se las veía desde afuera. Allí han estado el día de hoy.	9 But concerning the bars by which the ark was carried, because they were a little longer, the ends were able to be seen before the oracle. Yet truly, if anyone were a little ways toward the exterior, he would not be able to see them. And so the ark has been in that place, even to the present day.
10 En el Arca se encontraban únicamente las dos tablas de piedra que Moisés, en el Horeb, había puesto allí: las tablas de la Alianza que el Señor había hecho con los israelitas a su salida de Egipto.	10 And there was nothing else in the ark, except the two tablets, which Moses had placed there at Horeb when the Lord gave the law to the sons of Israel, at the departure from Egypt.
11 Mientras los sacerdotes salían del Santo –porque todos los sacerdotes que se hallaban presentes se habían santificados, sin distinción de clases –	11 And having gone out from the Sanctuary, the priests (for all the priests who were able to be found there were sanctified, and in that time the turns and orders of the ministries had not yet been divided among them)
12 los levitas cantores en pleno –Asaf, Hemán y Iedutún, con sus hijos y sus hermanos– vestidos de lino fino, estaban de pie al oriente del altar, con címbalos, arpas y cítaras. Junto a ellos había ciento veinte sacerdotes que tocaban las trompetas.	12 with both the Levites and the singing men, that is, those who were under Asaph, and those who were under Heman, and those who were under Jeduthun, with their sons and brothers, clothed in fine linen, sounded out with cymbals, and psalteries, and harps, standing toward the eastern side of the altar. And with them were one hundred twenty priests, sounding out with trumpets.
13 Los que tocaban las trompetas y los cantores hacían oír sus voces al unísono, para alabar y celebrar al Señor. Y cuando ellos elevaban la voz al son de las trompetas, de los címbalos y de los instrumentos musicales, para alabar al Señor «porque es bueno, porque es eterno su amor», una nube llenó el Templo, la Casa del Señor,	13 And when they all sounded out together, with trumpets, and voice, and cymbals, and pipes, and with various kinds of musical instruments, lifting their voice on high, the sound was heard from far away, so that when they had begun to praise the Lord, and to say, “Confess to the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy is eternal,” the house of God was filled with a cloud.
14 de manera que los sacerdotes no pudieron continuar sus servicios a causa de la nube, porque la gloria del Señor llenaba la Casa de Dios.	14 Neither were the priests able to stand and to minister, because of the cloud. For the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God.
