1 A sí fue terminada toda la obra que Salomón hizo para la casa del Señor. Y Salomón trajo las cosas consagradas por su padre David, es decir, la plata, el oro y todos los utensilios, y los puso en los tesoros de la casa de Dios.

Thus all the work that Solomon made for the house of the Lord was finished: and Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and all the instruments, put he among the treasures of the house of God.

2 E ntonces Salomón reunió en Jerusalén a los ancianos de Israel, a todos los jefes de las tribus y a los principales de las casas paternas de los Israelitas, para subir el arca del pacto del Señor de la ciudad de David, la cual es Sion.

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

3 Y se reunieron ante el rey todos los hombres de Israel en la fiesta del mes séptimo.

Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king in the feast which was in the seventh month.

4 C uando llegaron todos los ancianos de Israel, los Levitas alzaron el arca;

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

5 y llevaron el arca y la tienda de reunión y todos los utensilios sagrados que estaban en la tienda; los sacerdotes Levitas los llevaron.

And they brought up the ark, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, these did the priests and the Levites bring up.

6 Y el rey Salomón y toda la congregación de Israel, que estaba reunida con él delante del arca, sacrificaban tantas ovejas y bueyes que no se podían contar ni numerar.

Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled unto him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor numbered for multitude.

7 L os sacerdotes trajeron el arca del pacto del Señor a su lugar, al santuario interior de la casa, al Lugar Santísimo, bajo las alas de los querubines.

And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord unto his place, to the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims:

8 P orque los querubines extendían las alas sobre el lugar del arca, y los querubines cubrían el arca y sus barras por encima.

for the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above.

9 P ero las barras eran tan largas que los extremos de las barras del arca se podían ver delante del santuario interior, pero no se podían ver desde afuera; y allí están hasta hoy.

And they drew out the staves of the ark, that the ends of the staves were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without. And there it is unto this day.

10 E n el arca no había más que las dos tablas que Moisés puso allí en Horeb, donde el Señor hizo pacto con los Israelitas cuando salieron de Egipto.

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

11 C uando los sacerdotes salieron del lugar santo (porque todos los sacerdotes que estaban presentes se habían santificado sin tener en cuenta las clases ),

And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place: (for all the priests that were present were sanctified, and did not then wait by course:

12 t odos los Levitas cantores, Asaf, Hemán, Jedutún y sus hijos y sus parientes, vestidos de lino fino, con címbalos, arpas y liras, estaban de pie al oriente del altar, y con ellos 120 sacerdotes que tocaban trompetas.

also the Levites which were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, being arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them an hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets:)

13 C uando los trompeteros y los cantores al unísono se hacían oír a una voz alabando y glorificando al Señor, cuando levantaban sus voces acompañados por trompetas y címbalos e instrumentos de música, cuando alababan al Señor diciendo: “Ciertamente El es bueno porque Su misericordia es para siempre,” entonces la casa, la casa del Señor, se llenó de una nube,

it came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the Lord, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the Lord;

14 y los sacerdotes no pudieron quedarse a ministrar a causa de la nube, porque la gloria del Señor llenaba la casa de Dios.

so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God.
