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.
AND it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the Lord.
2 Og det Hus, som Kong Salomo byggede Herren, dets Længde var tresindstyve Alen og dets Bredde tyve, og dets Højde var tredive Alen.
And the house which king Solomon built for the Lord, the length thereof was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits.
3 Og Forhallen foran Templets Hus, dens Længde var tyve Alen efter Husets Bredde, ti Alen var dens Bredde foran Huset.
And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house; and ten cubits was the breadth thereof before the house.
4 Og han gjorde paa Huset Vinduer, med snever Udsigt.
And for the house he made windows of narrow lights.
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 against the wall of the house he built chambers round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the oracle: and he made chambers round about:
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 nethermost chamber was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad: for without in the wall of the house he made narrowed rests round about, that the beams should not be fastened in the walls of the house.
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.
And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.
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 for the middle chamber was in the right side of the house: and they went up with winding stairs into the middle chamber, and out of the middle into the third.
9 Og han byggede Huset og fuldendte det, og han lagde Tag paa Huset med Bjælker og Brædder af Cedertræ.
So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar.
10 Og han byggede Omgangen ved hele Huset, fem Alen var dens Højde, og den hæftede til Huset med Cederbjælker.
And then he built chambers against all the house, five cubits high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.
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 thou art in building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I perform my word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father:
13 Og jeg vil bo midt iblandt Israels Børn og ikke forlade mit Folk Israel.
And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.
14 Saa byggede Salomo Huset og fuldendte det.
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 within with boards of cedar, both the floor of the house, and the walls of the cieling: and he covered them on the inside with wood, and covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.
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 twenty cubits on the sides of the house, both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar: he even built them for it within, even for the oracle, even for the most holy place.
17 Og Huset var fyrretyve Alen langt, nemlig det hellige udenfor.
And the house, that is, the temple before it, was forty cubits long.
18 Og Cedertræet indentil i Huset havde udskaarne Knapper og udsprungne Blomster; det var altsammen Ceder, der saas ingen Sten.
And the cedar of the house within was carved with knops and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
19 Og han beredte Koret indentil i Huset, at man der skulde sætte Herrens Pagtes Ark.
And the oracle he prepared in the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
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 in the forepart was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and so covered the altar which was of cedar.
21 Og Salomo beslog Huset indentil med fint Guld, og han drog Kæder af Guld foran Koret og beslog det med Guld.
So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle; and he overlaid it with 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 the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house: also the whole altar that was by the oracle he overlaid with gold.
23 Og han gjorde i Koret to Keruber af Olietræ, ti Alen var deres Højde.
And within the oracle he made two cherubims of olive tree, each ten cubits high.
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.
And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits.
25 Og den anden Kerub var ti Alen; de to Keruber havde eet Maal og een Udskæring.
And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubims were of one measure and one size.
26 Den ene Kerub var ti Alen høj og ligesaa den anden Kerub.
The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other 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 set the cherubims within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubims, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.
28 Og han beslog Keruberne med Guld.
And he overlaid the cherubims 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 he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, within and without.
30 Og han belagde Gulvet i Huset med Guld, indentil og udentil.
And 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 for the entering of the oracle he made doors of olive tree: the lintel and side posts were a fifth part of the wall.
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.
The two doors also were of olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubims, and upon the palm trees.
33 Saaledes gjorde han og for Indgangen til det hellige Dørstolper af Olietræ, som udgjorde den Fjerdepart af Væggen,
So also made he for the door of the temple posts of olive tree, a fourth part of the wall.
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 the two doors were of fir tree: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
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 thereon cherubims and palm trees and open flowers: and covered them with gold fitted upon the carved work.
36 Og han byggede den inderste Forgaard af tre Rader udhugne Stene og en Rad tilhugne Cederstolper.
And he built the inner court with three rows of hewed stone, and a row of cedar beams.
37 I det fjerde Aar blev Grundvolden lagt til Herrens Hus, i Siv Maaned.
In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the Lord laid, in the month Zif:
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, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.
