Første Kongebog 6
1 Og det skete i det fire Hundrede og firsindstyvende Aar, efter at Israels Børn vare udgangne af Ægyptens Land, i det fjerde Aar i Maaneden Siv, det er den anden Maaned, efter at Salomo var bleven Konge over Israel, at han byggede Herren Huset.
Then it happened that, in the four hundred and eightieth year after the sons of Israel departed from the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of the reign of Solomon over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, the house of the Lord began to be built.
2 Og det Hus, som Kong Salomo byggede Herren, dets Længde var tresindstyve Alen og dets Bredde tyve, og dets Højde var tredive Alen.
Now the house, which king Solomon was building to the Lord, was sixty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and thirty cubits in height.
3 Og Forhallen foran Templets Hus, dens Længde var tyve Alen efter Husets Bredde, ti Alen var dens Bredde foran Huset.
And a portico was before the temple, of twenty cubits in length, in accord with the measure of the width of the temple. And it had ten cubits of width before the face of the temple.
4 Og han gjorde paa Huset Vinduer, med snever Udsigt.
And he made oblique windows in the temple.
5 Og han byggede ved Husets Væg en Omgang trindt omkring, ved Væggene af Huset trindt omkring, baade om Templet og Koret, og han gjorde Sidekamre deromkring.
And upon the wall of the temple, he built panels on all sides, in the walls of the house around the temple and the oracle. And he made side chambers all around.
6 Den nederste Omgang var fem Alen vid, og den midterste var seks Alen vid, og den tredje var syv Alen vid; thi han gjorde Afsætninger uden omkring Huset, at der skulde intet hæfte ved Husets Vægge.
The flooring on the bottom level held five cubits in width, and the middle floor was six cubits in width, and the third floor held seven cubits in width. Then he positioned beams on the house all around the outside, in such a way that they would not be fastened to the walls of the temple.
7 Og Huset, der det blev bygget, blev det bygget af hele Stene, som bleve tilførte, og hverken Hamre eller Økse, ej heller noget Redskab af Jern blev hørt i Huset, der det byggedes.
Now the house, while it was being built, was made from cut and finished stones. And so, neither mallet, nor chisel, nor any tool of iron was heard in the house while it was being built.
8 Døren til det midterste Sidekammer var paa den højre Side af Huset, og man gik igennem Vindeltrapper op paa den midterste Omgang og fra den midterste op paa den tredje.
The door at the side of the middle section was to the right of the house. And they would ascend along winding stairs to the middle level, and from the middle level to the third level.
9 Og han byggede Huset og fuldendte det, og han lagde Tag paa Huset med Bjælker og Brædder af Cedertræ.
And he built the house, and finished it. And he overlaid the house with boards of cedar.
10 Og han byggede Omgangen ved hele Huset, fem Alen var dens Højde, og den hæftede til Huset med Cederbjælker.
And he built a paneling over the entire house, five cubits in height, and he covered the house with cedar wood.
11 Og Herrens Ord skete til Salomo og sagde:
And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying:
12 Hvad angaar dette Hus, som du bygger, dersom du vandrer i mine Skikke og gør efter mine Befalinger og holder alle mine Bud ved at vandre efter dem: Saa vil jeg paa dig stadfæste mit Ord, som jeg talede til David, din Fader.
“Concerning this house, which you are building: if you will walk in my precepts, and carry out my judgments, and keep all my commandments, advancing by them, I will confirm my word to you, which I spoke to your father David.
13 Og jeg vil bo midt iblandt Israels Børn og ikke forlade mit Folk Israel.
And I will dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel, and I will not forsake my people Israel.”
14 Saa byggede Salomo Huset og fuldendte det.
And so, Solomon built the house, and finished it.
15 Og han byggede Husets Vægge indentil af Cederplanker, fra Gulvet i Huset indtil Loftets Vægge overklædte han det indentil med Træ; han overklædte og Gulvet i Huset med Fyrreplanker.
And he built the walls of the house, on the interior, with panels of cedar, from the floor of the house, to the top of the walls, and even to the ceiling. He covered it with cedar wood on the interior. And he overlaid the floor of the house with panels of spruce.
16 Og han byggede tyve Alen til fra Husets bageste Side af med Cederplanker, fra Gulvet indtil øverst paa Væggene, og han byggede Koret der indenfor til det allerhelligste.
And he built panels of cedar, of twenty cubits, at the back part of the temple, from the floor even to the top. And he made the inner house of the oracle as the Holy of Holies.
17 Og Huset var fyrretyve Alen langt, nemlig det hellige udenfor.
And the temple itself, before the doors of the oracle, was forty cubits.
18 Og Cedertræet indentil i Huset havde udskaarne Knapper og udsprungne Blomster; det var altsammen Ceder, der saas ingen Sten.
And the entire house was clothed with cedar on the interior, having its turnings and junctures artfully wrought, with carvings projecting outward. Everything was clothed with panels of cedar. And no stone at all was able to be seen in the wall.
19 Og han beredte Koret indentil i Huset, at man der skulde sætte Herrens Pagtes Ark.
Now he made the oracle in the middle of the house, in the inner part, so that he might station the ark of the covenant of the Lord there.
20 Og Korets Længde fortil var tyve Alen, og dets Bredde tyve Alen, og dets Højde tyve Alen, og han beslog det med fint Guld og overklædte et Alter med Cedertræ.
And the oracle held twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in height. And he covered and clothed it with the purest gold. Then, too, he clothed the altar in cedar.
21 Og Salomo beslog Huset indentil med fint Guld, og han drog Kæder af Guld foran Koret og beslog det med Guld.
Also, the house before the oracle, he covered with the purest gold, and he fastened the plates with nails of gold.
22 Og hele Huset beslog han med Guld, indtil han var bleven færdig med hele Huset, og hele Alteret, som var for Koret, beslog han med Guld.
And there was nothing in the temple that was not covered with gold. Moreover, the entire altar of the oracle he overlaid with gold.
23 Og han gjorde i Koret to Keruber af Olietræ, ti Alen var deres Højde.
And he made in the oracle two cherubim from wood of the olive tree, of ten cubits in height.
24 Og den ene Kerubs Vinge var fem Alen, og den anden Kerubs Vinge var fem Alen; der var ti Alen fra den ene Vinges Ende og til den anden Vinges Ende.
One wing of a cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of a cherub was five cubits, that is, having ten cubits from the summit of one wing even to the summit of the other wing.
25 Og den anden Kerub var ti Alen; de to Keruber havde eet Maal og een Udskæring.
Likewise, the second cherub was ten cubits. And the measure was equal and the work was one, in the two cherubim,
26 Den ene Kerub var ti Alen høj og ligesaa den anden Kerub.
that is, one cherub had a height of ten cubits, and similarly the second cherub.
27 Og han satte Keruberne midt i Huset indentil, og Keruberne udbredte Vingerne, og den enes Vinge rørte ved den ene Væg, og den anden Kerubs Vinge rørte ved den anden Væg; men deres Vinger midt i Huset rørte Vinge ved Vinge.
And he stationed the cherubim in the middle of the inner temple. And the cherubim extended their wings, and the wing of the one was touching the wall, and the wing of the second cherub was touching the other wall. But the other wings, in the middle of the temple, were touching each another.
28 Og han beslog Keruberne med Guld.
He also overlaid the cherubim with gold.
29 Og paa alle Husets Vægge trindt omkring lod han sætte Snitværk af udskaarne Keruber og Palmer og udsprungne Blomster, indentil og udentil.
And all the walls of the temple all around he engraved with diverse carvings and turnings. And he made in them cherubim, and palm trees, and various images, as if these were projecting out, and going forth from, the wall.
30 Og han belagde Gulvet i Huset med Guld, indentil og udentil.
Then, too, the floor of the house he overlaid with gold within and without.
31 Og Indgangen til Koret gjorde han med Fløjdøre af Olietræ, Dørkarmen med Dørstolperne udgjorde en Femtepart af Væggen.
And at the entrance of the oracle, he made little doors, from wood of the olive tree, with posts of five corners.
32 Og paa de to Fløjdøre af Olietræ satte han Snitværk af udskaarne Keruber og Palmer og udsprungne Blomster og beslog dem med Guld, og han udbredte Guld over Keruberne og over Palmerne.
And there were two doors, from wood of the olive tree. And he carved upon them pictures of cherubim, and images of palm trees, and very prominent figures. And he overlaid these with gold. And he covered the cherubim, as well as the palm trees and the other things, with gold.
33 Saaledes gjorde han og for Indgangen til det hellige Dørstolper af Olietræ, som udgjorde den Fjerdepart af Væggen,
And he made, at the entrance of the temple, posts from wood of the olive tree, with four corners,
34 og to Dørfløje af Fyrretræ, den ene Dør havde to Fløje, som kunde opslaas, og den anden Dør havde to Fløje, som kunde opslaas.
and two doors, from wood of the spruce tree, on the other side. And each door was double, and so it opened by folding upon itself.
35 Og han udskar Keruber og Palmer og udsprungne Blomster og beslog dem med Guld, som var jævnt udbredt over det, som var udgravet.
And he carved cherubim, and palm trees, and very prominent engravings. And he covered everything with gold plates, worked to be perfectly square.
36 Og han byggede den inderste Forgaard af tre Rader udhugne Stene og en Rad tilhugne Cederstolper.
And he built the inner atrium with three rows of polished stones, and one row of cedar wood.
37 I det fjerde Aar blev Grundvolden lagt til Herrens Hus, i Siv Maaned.
In the fourth year, the house of the Lord was founded, in the month of Ziv.
38 Og i det ellevte Aar i Maaneden Bul, som er den ottende Maaned, blev Huset fuldkommet med alle sine Sager og med alt sit Tilbehør; og han byggede paa det i syv Aar.
And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was perfected in all its works and in all its equipment. And he built it for seven years.
