Anden Krønikebog 3
1 Og Salomo begyndte at bygge Herrens Hus i Jerusalem paa Moria Bjerg, hvor han havde aabenbaret sig for David, hans Fader, paa det Sted, jsom David havde beredt paa Ornans, Jebusitens, Tærskeplads.
Then Solomon made a start at building the house of the Lord on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem, where the Lord had been seen by his father David, in the place which David had made ready in the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 Og han begyndte at bygge i den anden Maaned paa den anden Dag, i sin Regerings fjerde Aar.
The building was started in the second month in the fourth year of his rule.
3 Og saaledes lagde Salomo Grundvolden til Bygningen af Guds Hus: Længden i Alen efter gammelt Maal Tar tresindstyve Alen og Bredden tyve Alen.
And Solomon put the base of the house of God in position; by the older measure it was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide.
4 Og Forhallen, som var foran, var efter Bredden paa Huset tyve Alen lang, men Højden var hundrede og tyve Alen; og han beslog den indentil med purt Guld.
And the covered way in front of the house was twenty cubits long, as wide as the house, and a hundred and twenty cubits high, all plated inside with the best gold.
5 Men det store Hus beklædte han med Fyrretræ og beslog det med fint Guld, og gjorde derpaa Palmer og Kæder.
And the greater house was roofed with cypress-wood, plated with the best gold and ornamented with designs of palm-trees and chains.
6 Og han besatte Huset med kostbare Stene til Prydelse, og Guldet var af Parvajims Guld.
And the house was made beautiful with stones of great value, and the gold was gold of Parvaim.
7 Og han beslog Huset, Bjælkerne, Dørtærsklerne og dets Vægge og dets Døre med Guld og lod udgrave Keruber paa Væggene.
All the house was plated with gold, the supports, the steps, the walls and the doors; and the walls were ornamented with designs of winged ones.
8 Han byggede ogsaa det Allerhelligstes Hus: Dets Længde var tyve Alen efter Husets Bredde, og dets Bredde var tyve Alen; og han beslog det med henved seks Hundrede Centner fint Guld.
And he made the most holy place; it was twenty cubits long, and twenty cubits wide, like the greater house, and was plated all over with the best gold; six hundred talents were used for it.
9 Og Vægten paa Søm var halvtredsindstyve Sekel Guld; og han beslog Salene med Guld.
And fifty shekels weight of gold was used for the nails. He had all the higher rooms plated with gold.
10 Han gjorde og i det Allerhelligstes Hus to Keruber med Billedskærerarbejde; og man beslog dem med Guld.
And in the most holy place he made images of two winged beings, covering them with gold.
11 Og Længden af Vingerne paa Keruberne var tyve Alen; den ene Vinge var fem Alen og rørte ved Husets Væg, og den anden Vinge var og fem Alen og rørte ved den anden Kerubs Vinge.
Their outstretched wings were twenty cubits across; one wing, five cubits long, touching the wall of the house, and the other, of the same size, meeting the wing of the other winged one.
12 Og den anden Kerubs Vinge var fem Alen lang og rørte ved Husets Væg, og den anden Vinge var fem Alen og naaede til den anden Kerubs Vinge.
And in the same way, the wings of the other, five cubits long, were stretched out, one touching the wall and the other meeting the wing of the first winged one.
13 Disse Keruber bredte Vingerne tyve Alen ud og stode paa deres Fødder, og deres Ansigter vare vendte imod Huset.
Their outstretched wings were twenty cubits across; they were placed upright on their feet, facing the inner part of the house.
14 Han gjorde og Forhænget af blaat uldent og Purpur og Skarlagen og kosteligt Linklæde og gjorde Keruber derpaa.
And he made the veil of blue and purple and red, of the best linen, worked with winged ones.
15 Han gjorde og foran Huset to Støtter, hvis Længde var fem og tredive Alen, og Knappen, som var oven paa den, var fem Alen.
And in front of the house he made two pillars, thirty-five cubits high, with crowns on the tops of them, five cubits high.
16 Og han gjorde Kæder som i Koret og satte dem oven paa Støtterne og gjorde hundrede Granatæbler og satte dem paa Kæderne.
And he made chains, like neck ornaments, and put them on the tops of the pillars, and a hundred apples on the chains.
17 Og han oprejste Støtterne foran Templet, een til den højre Side og een til venstre Side; og han kaldte Navnet paa den til højre Jakin og Navnet paa den til venstre Boas.
He put up the pillars in front of the Temple, one on the right side and one on the left, naming the one on the right Jachin and that on the left Boaz.
