1 Sicque completum est omne opus, quod fecit Salomon in do mo Domini. Intulit igitur Salomon omnia, quae voverat David pater suus, argentum et aurum, et universa vasa posuit in thesauris domus Dei.	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 Post quae congregavit maiores natu Israel et cunctos principes tribuum et capita familiarum de filiis Israel in Ierusalem, ut adducerent arcam foederis Domini de civitate David, quae est Sion.	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 Venerunt igitur ad regem omnes viri Israel in die sollemni mensis septimi.	3 And so, all the men of Israel went to the king, on the solemn day of the seventh month.
4 Cumque venissent cuncti seniorum Israel, portaverunt Levitae arcam	4 And when all the elders of Israel had arrived, the Levites carried the ark,
5 et intulerunt eam et tabernaculum conventus et omnem paraturam tabernaculi. Porro omnia vasa sanctuarii, quae erant in tabernaculo, portaverunt sacerdotes levitici generis.	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 Rex autem Salomon et universus coetus Israel, omnes, qui fuerunt congregati ad eum ante arcam, immolabant oves et boves absque ullo numero: tanta enim erat multitudo victimarum.	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 Et intulerunt sacerdotes arcam foederis Domini in locum suum ad Dabir templi, in sancta sanctorum subter alas cherubim,	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 ita ut cherubim expanderent alas suas super locum, in quo posita erat arca, et ipsam arcam tegerent cum vectibus suis ab alto.	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 Vectium autem, quibus portabatur arca, quia paululum longiores erant, capita parebant ante Dabir; si vero quis erat extrinsecus eos videre non poterat. Fuit itaque arca ibi usque in praesentem diem.	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 Nihilque erat aliud in arca, nisi duae tabulae, quas posuerat Moyses in Horeb, quando fecit Dominus foedus cum filiis Israel egredientibus ex Aegypto.	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 Egressis autem sacerdotibus de sanctuario — omnes enim sacerdotes, qui ibi potuerant inveniri, sanctificati sunt, non observantes vices et ministeriorum ordinem,	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 et Levitae cantores, omnes, qui sub Asaph erant et qui sub Heman et qui sub Idithun, filii et fratres eorum, vestiti byssinis, cymbalis et psalteriis et citharis stabant ad orientalem plagam altaris, et cum eis sacerdotes centum viginti canentes tubis —	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 igitur cunctis pariter et tubis et voce et cymbalis et organis et diversi generis musicorum concinentibus et vocem in sublime tollentibus, cum una voce Dominum laudare coepissent et dicere: “ Confitemini Domino quoniam bonus, quoniam in aeternum misericordia eius ”, impleta est domus Dei nube,	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 nec potuerunt sacerdotes stare et ministrare propter nubem; compleverat enim gloria Domini domum Dei.	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.
