Første Kongebog 7
1 Men Salomo byggede paa sit eget Hus tretten Aar og fuldendte hele sit Hus.
Now Solomon built his own house for thirteen years, and he brought it to perfection.
2 Og han byggede Libanons Skovhus, hundrede Alen var dets Længde og halvtredsindstyve Alen dets Bredde og tredive Alen dets Højde, paa fire Rader Cedersøjler og udhugne Cederbjælker paa Søjlerne.
And he built the house from the forest of Lebanon: one hundred cubits in length, and fifty cubits in width, and thirty cubits in height, with four walkways between columns of cedar. For he had hewn the cedar trees into columns.
3 Og det var tækket med Ceder oventil over Bjælkerne, som hvilede paa fem og fyrretyve Søjler, femten i hver Rad.
And he clothed the entire vaulted room with panels of cedar. And it was supported by forty-five columns. Now one row held fifteen columns,
4 Og der var Stokværk i tre Rader, og Vindue over for Vindue tre Gange.
each positioned opposite another,
5 Og alle Døre og Dørstolper vare firkantede, af Tømmerværk, og der var Vindue over for Vindue tre Gange.
and looking toward one another, with equal spacing between the columns. And above the columns there were square beams equal in all things.
6 Og han gjorde Søjlehallen, halvtredsindstyve Alen var dens Længde og tredive Alen dens Bredde, og en Forhal foran den med Søjler og Opgangstrin foran den.
And he made a portico of columns, fifty cubits in length and thirty cubits in width, and another portico, facing the greater portico, with columns and with crossbeams upon the columns.
7 Han gjorde ogsaa en Tronhal, hvor han vilde dømme, en Retshal, og den var beklædt med Ceder paa Gulvet fra den ene Ende til den anden.
He also made the portico of the throne, in which is the tribunal. And he overlaid it with cedar wood, from the floor even to the summit.
8 Og i hans Hus, hvori han boede, var en anden Forgaard inden for Forhallen, den var gjort efter den samme Vis; han gjorde ogsaa et Hus til Faraos Datter, som Salomo havde taget til Hustru, ligesom denne Forhal.
And in the midst of the portico, there was a small house, where he would sit in judgment, similar in workmanship. He also made a house for the daughter of Pharaoh (whom Solomon had taken as wife) of the same work and type as this portico.
9 Alt dette var af kostbare Stene, hugne Stene efter Maal, savede med Save indadtil og udadtil, og det fra Grunden indtil Lejderne, ogsaa udadtil indtil den store Forgaard.
All was of precious stones, which had been sawed by a particular standard and measure, as much within as without, from the foundation even to the summit of the walls, and outside even to the great atrium.
10 Grunden var ogsaa lagt af kostbare Stene, af store Stene, af Stene paa ti Alen og Stene paa otte Alen.
Now the foundations were of precious stones: great stones of eight or ten cubits.
11 Og oventil vare kostbare Stene, hugne Stene efter Maal, og Ceder.
And above these, there were precious stones, of equal measure, which had been cut in a manner similar to boards of cedar.
12 Men den store Forgaard trindt omkring var af tre Rader hugne Stene og en Rad udhugne Cederbjælker; saaledes var og Herrens Huses inderste Forgaard og Forhallen ved Huset.
And the great atrium was round, with three rows of cut stones and one row of cut cedar, even as it also was in the interior atrium of the house of the Lord, and in the portico of the house.
13 Og Kong Salomo sendte hen og lod hente Hiram fra Tyrus.
And king Solomon sent and brought Hiram of Tyre,
14 Han var en Enkes Søn af Nafthalis Stamme, og hans Fader havde været en Mand fra Tyrus, en Kobbersmed; og han var opfyldt med Visdom og Forstand og Kundskab til at gøre alle Haande Gerning af Kobber, og han kom til Kong Salomo og udførte alt hans Arbejde.
the son of a widowed woman, from the tribe of Naphtali, whose father was a Tyrian, an artisan in brass, and full of wisdom, and understanding, and knowledge in order to form every work of brass. And when he had gone to king Solomon, he wrought all his work.
15 Og han dannede to Kobberstøtter, atten Alen var Højden af den ene Støtte, og en Traad paa tolv Alen gik omkring den anden Støtte.
And he cast two columns of brass. Each column was eighteen cubits in height, and a line of twelve cubits encompassed both columns.
16 Og han gjorde to Kroner til at sætte oven paa Støtternes Hoveder, støbte af Kobber; Højden af den ene Krone var fem Alen, og Højden af den anden Krone var fem Alen.
Also, he made two heads of molten brass, which would be set upon the tops of the columns: one head was five cubits in height, and the other head was five cubits in height.
17 Der var et Net, gjort som en Fletning, og Snore, gjorte som Kæder, om Kronerne, som vare paa Støtternes Hoveder, syv om den ene Krone og syv om den anden Krone.
And there was something like a network of chains, woven together in a wonderful manner. Both heads of the columns were cast, and seven rows of little nets traversed one head, and seven little nets were on the other head.
18 Og han gjorde Støtterne; og der var to Rader rundt omkring ved det ene Net til at dække Kronerne, som vare oven over Granatæblerne; saaledes gjorde han og paa den anden Krone.
And he finished the columns with two rows all around each network, so that these covered the heads, which were at the top, with pomegranates. And he did in like manner to the second head.
19 Og Kronerne, som vare paa Støtternes Hoveder, vare gjorte som en Lillie, ved Forhallen, fire Alen.
Now the heads that were at the top of the columns, in the portico of four cubits, had been fabricated with a work of lilies.
20 Og Kroner vare paa de to Støtter, ja tæt oven for Bugningen, som var oven over Nettet; og der var to Hundrede Granatæbler i to Rader rundt omkring ved den anden Krone.
And again, there were other heads at the tops of the columns above, in accord with the measure of the column opposite the netting. And there were two hundred of the pomegranates, in rows around the second head.
21 Og han oprejste Støtterne ved Templets Forhal, og han oprejste den højre Støtte og kaldte dens Navn Jakin, og han oprejste den venstre Støtte og kaldte dens Navn Boas.
And he stationed the two columns in the portico of the temple. And when he had stationed the column on the right, he called its name Jachin. Similarly, he erected the second column, and he called its name Boaz.
22 Og paa Støtternes Hoveder var der gjort som en Lillie; saa blev Arbejdet med Støtterne fuldendt.
And above the tops of the columns, he set a work in the manner of lilies. And the work of the columns was perfected.
23 Og han gjorde et støbt Hav; det var ti Alen fra den ene Rand til den anden Rand og var rundt trindt omkring, og fem Alen var dets Højde, og en Snor tredive Alen lang gik om det trindt omkring.
He also made a molten sea, of ten cubits from brim to brim, rounded on all sides. Its height was five cubits, and a thin rope of thirty cubits wrapped it all around.
24 Og der var Knapper rundt omkring under Randen derpaa, og de gik trindt omkring det, ti paa hver Alen, og de omgave Havet trindt omkring; der var to Rader Knapper, som vare støbte i een Støbning med det selv.
And a sculpted work under the brim encircled it for ten cubits going around the sea. There were two rows cast of striated sculptures.
25 Det stod paa tolv Okser, tre vare vendte mod Norden, og tre vare vendte mod Vesten, og tre vare vendte mod Sønden, og tre vare vendte mod Østen, og oven paa dem stod Havet, og deres Bagdele vare alle indad.
And it was standing upon twelve oxen, of which three were looking toward the north, and three toward the west, and three toward the south, and three toward the east. And the sea above was over them. And their posteriors were entirely hidden within.
26 Og Tykkelsen derpaa var en Haandbred, og Randen derpaa var gjort som Randen paa et Bæger, ligesom et Lillieblomster; det kunde holde to Tusinde Bath.
And the basin was the thickness of three twelfths. And its brim was like the brim of a chalice, or like the outturned petal of a lily. It contained two thousand baths.
27 Han gjorde ogsaa ti Kobberstole; Længden paa hver Stol var fire Alen og dens Bredde fire Alen og dens Højde tre Alen.
And he made ten bases of brass: each base was four cubits in length, and four cubits in width, and three cubits in height.
28 Og hver Stol var gjort saaledes: De havde Fyldinger, ja Fyldinger imellem Listerne.
And the work itself of the bases was engraved; and there were sculptures between the junctures.
29 Og paa Fyldingerne, som vare imellem Listerne, var der Løver, Okser og Keruber, og over Listerne var der en fast Fod oventil, og neden for Løverne og Okserne var der Løvværk af nedhængende Arbejde.
And between the little crowns and the edges, there were lions, and oxen, and cherubim; and similarly in the junctures above. And under the lions and oxen were something like bands of brass hanging down.
30 Og hver Stol havde fire Kobberhjul med Kobberaksler, og de fire Ben derpaa havde Skulderstykker; neden under Kedelen vare Skulderstykkerne støbte til; over for hvert var der Løvværk.
And each base had four wheels, with axels of brass. And at the four sides were something like little arms, under the cast basin, facing away from one another.
31 Og Mundingen derpaa inden for Krandsen og opad var en Alen høj, og Mundingen i denne var rund, gjort som et Fodstykke, halvanden Alen vid, og der var ogsaa om dens Munding alle Haande udskaaret Arbejde, og Fyldingerne derpaa vare firkantede, ikke runde.
Also, the mouth of the interior of the basin was at the top of the head. And what was visible outside was of one cubit all around, and altogether it had one cubit and a half. Now at the corners of the columns were diverse engravings. And the spaces between the columns were square, not round.
32 Og de fire Hjul vare neden under Fyldingerne, og de Stykker, som grebe om Hjulakslerne, vare gjorte faste til Stolen, og hvert Hjuls Højde var halvanden Alen.
And the four wheels, which were at the four corners of the base, were joined to one another under the base. The height of one wheel held one cubit and a half.
33 Og Hjulene vare gjorte, som Vognhjul gøres; de Stykker, som grebe om Akslerne, og deres Fælger og deres Eger og deres Nav vare alle støbte.
Now these were the kind of wheels such as are often made for a chariot. And their axels, and spokes, and tires, and centers were all cast.
34 Og der vare fire Skulderstykker paa hver Stols fire Hjørner; ud fra Stolen gik dens Skulderstykker frem.
And the four little arms, which were at each corner of a base, were cast and joined together as part of the base itself.
35 Og paa Overstykket af Stolen var der i en halv Alens Højde en Runding trindt omkring; og paa Overstykket af Stolen vare dens Haandgreb og dens Fyldinger ud af eet med den.
And at the summit of the base, there was a round stand of one half cubit, fabricated so that the basin could be placed upon it, having its engravings, and various sculptures of its own.
36 Og han lod udgrave paa Fladerne af dens Haandgreb og paa dens Fyldinger Keruber, Løver og Palmer, hvor der var bart paa enhver, og Løvværk trindt omkring.
He also engraved those plates, which were of brass. And at the corners were cherubim, and lions, and palm trees, standing out, as if in the likeness of a man, so that they seemed not to be engraved, but placed adjacent on all sides.
37 Saaledes gjorde han de ti Stole, der var een Støbning, eet Maal, een Udgravning for dem alle sammen.
In this manner, he made ten bases with the same casting and measure, and very similar engravings.
38 Og han gjorde ti Kobberkedler, hver Kedel kunde holde 40 Bath, hver Kedel var fire Alen, der var en Kedel paa hver Stol af de ti Stole.
He also made ten hand basins of brass. One hand basin contained four baths, and was of four cubits. And each basin he set upon a base, which is ten bases.
39 Og han satte de fem Stole ved Siden af Huset paa den højre Side og fem ved Siden af Huset paa den venstre Side deraf; men Havet satte han paa den højre Side af Huset mod Sydøst.
And he stationed the ten bases, five to the right side of the temple, and five to the left. And the sea he placed to the right side of the temple, opposite the east, toward the south.
40 Og Hiram gjorde Kedlerne og Ildskufferne og Skaalene, og Hiram blev færdig med alt Arbejdet, som han gjorde for Kong Salomo til Herrens Hus:
Then Hiram made cooking pots, and trays, and small hooks. And he completed all the work of king Solomon in the temple of the Lord:
41 De to Støtter og de runde Kroner, som vare paa Hovedet af de to Støtter, og de to Net til at dække de to runde Kroner, som vare paa Hovedet af Støtterne;
the two columns, and the two cords of the heads over the tops of the columns, and the two networks which covered the two cords that were above the tops of the columns;
42 og de fire Hundrede Granatæbler til de to Net; to Rader Granatæbler til ethvert Net for at dække de tvende runde Kroner, som vare oven paa Støtterne;
and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two turnings of pomegranates for each network, in order to cover the cords of the heads, which were above the tops of the columns;
43 og de ti Stole og de ti Kedler oven paa Stolene;
and the ten bases, and the ten basins on the bases;
44 og det ene Hav og de tolv Okser under Havet;
and the one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea;
45 og Gryderne og Ildskufferne og Skaalene. Og alle de Kar, som Hiram gjorde for Kong Salomo til Herrens Hus, vare af poleret Kobber.
and the cooking pots, and the trays, and the small hooks. All of the items that Hiram made for king Solomon, for the house of the Lord, were of golden brass.
46 Paa Jordanens Slette lod Kongen dem støbe, i den faste Jord, imellem Sukot og Zarthan.
In the open regions near the Jordan, the king cast these, in the clay soil between Succoth and Zarethan.
47 Og Salomo lod alle Karrene være uvejede for den saare store Mængdes Skyld; Kobberets Vægt blev ikke undersøgt.
And Solomon positioned all the items. But because of its exceedingly great amount, the brass was not weighed.
48 Og Salomo lod gøre alle Redskaberne, som hørte til Herrens Hus, nemlig Guldalteret og Bordet, som Skuebrødene vare paa, af Guld,
And Solomon made all the furniture for the house of the Lord: the altar of gold, and the table of gold, upon which the bread of the presence would be placed;
49 og de fem Lysestager paa den højre Side og de fem paa den venstre Side lige for Koret, af fint Guld, og Blomsterne og Lamperne og Saksene af Guld,
and the gold lampstands, five to the right, and five to the left, opposite the oracle, of pure gold; and likenesses of lily blossoms, with lamps above them, of gold; and gold tongs;
50 og Bækkenerne og Knivene og Skaalene og Røgelseskaalene og Ildkarrene af fint Guld; og Hængslerne til Dørene i Huset indentil i det allerhelligste og til Husets Døre i Templet af Guld.
and water pots, and little forks, and bowls, and little mortars, and censers, of the purest gold; and the hinges of the doors, for the interior house of the Holy of Holies and for the doors of the house of the temple, which were of gold.
51 Saa blev alt Arbejdet færdigt, som Kong Salomo gjorde til Herrens Hus; og Salomo førte de Ting, som hans Fader David havde helliget, derind, nemlig Sølvet og Guldet og Karrene, og han lagde det i Herrens Huses Skatkammer.
And Solomon perfected all the work that he was doing in the house of the Lord. And he brought in the things that his father David had sanctified: the silver, and the gold, and the vessels. And he stored these in the treasuries of the house of the Lord.
