LXX Brenton's Greek Septuagint

WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 Καὶ εἰσήνεγκε Σαλωμὼν τὰ ἅγια Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, τὸ ἀργύριον, καὶ τὸ χρυσίον, καὶ τὰ σκεύη, καὶ ἔδωκεν εἰς θησαυρὸν οἴκου Κυρίου.

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

2 Τότε ἐξεκκλησίασε Σαλωμὼν πάντας τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἄρχοντας τῶν φυλῶν τοὺς ἡγουμένους πατριῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ, τοῦ ἀνενέγκαι κιβωτὸν διαθήκης Κυρίου ἐκ πόλεως Δαυὶδ, αὕτη Σιών.

2 Then 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 Yahweh’s covenant out of David’s city, which is Zion.

3 Καὶ ἐξεκκλησιάσθησαν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ, οὗτος ὁ μὴν ἕβδομος.

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

4 Καὶ ἦλθον πάντες οἱ πρεσβύτεροι Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἔλαβον πάντες οἱ Λευῖται τὴν κιβωτὸν,

4 All the elders of Israel came. The Levites took up the ark.

5 καὶ τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ μαρτυρίου, καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη τὰ ἅγια τὰ ἐν τῇ σκηνῇ, καὶ ἀνήνεγκαν αὐτὴν οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται.

5 They brought up the ark, the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent. The Levitical priests brought these up.

6 Καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν, καὶ πᾶσα συναγωγὴ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ οἱ φοβούμενοι, καὶ οἱ ἐπισυνηγμένοι αὐτῶν ἔμπροσθεν τῆς κιβωτοῦ θύοντες μόσχους καὶ πρόβατα, οἳ οὐκ ἀριθμηθήσονται καὶ οἳ οὐ λογισθήσονται ἀπὸ τοῦ πλήθους.

6 King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled to him were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.

7 Καὶ εἰσήνεγκαν οἱ ἱερεῖς τὴν κιβωτὸν διαθήκης Κυρίου εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς, εἰς τὸ δαβὶρ τοῦ οἴκου εἰς τὰ ἅγια τῶν ἁγίων, ὑποκάτω τῶν πτερύγων τῶν χερουβίμ.

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

8 Καὶ ἦν τὰ χερουβὶμ διαπεπετακότα τὰς πτέρυγας αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον τῆς κιβωτοῦ, καὶ συνεκάλυπτε τὰ χερουβὶμ ἐπὶ τὴν κιβωτὸν, καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀναφορεῖς αὐτῆς ἐπάνωθεν,

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

9 καὶ ὑπερεῖχον οἱ ἀναφορεῖς, καὶ ἐβλέποντο αἱ κεφαλαὶ τῶν ἀναφορέων ἐκ τῶν ἁγίων εἰς πρόσωπον τοῦ δαβὶρ, οὐκ ἐβλέποντο ἔξω, καὶ ἦσαν ἐκεῖ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.

9 The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the ark in front of the inner sanctuary, but they were not seen outside; and it is there to this day.

10 Οὐκ ἦν ἐν τῇ κιβωτῷ πλὴν δύο πλάκες ἃς ἔθηκε Μωυσῆς ἐν Χωρὴβ, ἃ διέθετο Κύριος μετὰ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ, ἐν τῷ ἐξελθεῖν αὐτοὺς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου.

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

11 Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐξελθεῖν τοὺς ἱερεῖς ἐκ τῶν ἁγίων, ὅτι πάντες οἱ ἱερεῖς οἱ εὑρεθέντες ἡγιάσθησαν, οὐκ ἦσαν διατεταγμένοι κατʼ ἐφημερίαν.

11 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 Καὶ οἱ Λευῖται οἱ ψαλτῳδοὶ πάντες τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἀσὰφ τῷ Αἰμὰν τῷ Ἰδιθοὺν καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ, καὶ τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτοῦ τῶν ἐνδεδυμένων στολὰς βασσίνας ἐν κυμβάλοις καὶ ἐν νάβλαις καὶ ἐν κινύραις, ἑστηκότες κατέναντι τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου, καὶ μετʼ αὐτῶν ἱερεῖς ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι σαλπίζοντες ταῖς σάλπιγξι.

12 also 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 Καὶ ἐγένετο μία φωνὴ ἐν τῷ σαλπίζειν καὶ ἐν τῷ ψαλτῳδεῖν καὶ ἐν τῷ ἀναφωνεῖν φωνῇ μιᾷ τοῦ ἐξομολογεῖσθαι καὶ αἰνεῖν τῷ Κυρίῳ· καὶ ὡς ὕψωσαν φωνὴν ἐν σάλπιγξι, καὶ ἐν κυμβάλοις, καὶ ἐν ὀργάνοις τῶν ᾠδῶν, καὶ ἔλεγον, ἐξομολογεῖσθε τῷ Κυρίῳ, ὅτι ἀγαθὸν, ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ· καὶ ὁ οἶκος ἐνεπλήσθη νεφέλης δόξης Κυρίου.

13 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!” then the house was filled with a cloud, even Yahweh’s house,

14 Καὶ οὐκ ἠδύναντο οἱ ἱερεῖς τοῦ στῆναι λειτουργεῖν ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς νεφέλης, ὅτι ἐνέπλησε δόξα Κυρίου τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Θεοῦ.

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