2 Mosebog 37
1 Og Bezaleel gjorde Arken af Sithimtræ, halv tredje Alen lang og halvanden Alen bred og halvanden Alen høj.
Then Bezalel made the [sacred] chest from acacia wood. It was (45 in./110 cm.) long, (27 in./66 cm.) wide, and (27 in./66 cm.) high.
2 Og han beslog den med purt Guld, inden og uden, og han gjorde en Guldkrans trindt omkring den.
He covered it with pure gold inside and outside the chest, and he made a gold border around the top of it.
3 Og han støbte fire Guldringe til den paa dens fire Hjørner, nemlig to Ringe paa dens ene Side og to Ringe paa dens anden Side.
He made/cast four rings from gold [and fastened them] to the legs of the chest. He put two rings on each side of the chest.
4 Og han gjorde Stænger af Sithimtræ og beslog dem med Guld.
He made [two] poles from acacia wood, and covered them with gold.
5 Og han stak Stængerne i Ringene paa Siderne af Arken til at bære Arken med.
He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the chest, in order that the chest could be carried [by means of the poles].
6 Og han gjorde en Naadestol af purt Guld, halvtredje Alen lang og halvanden Alen bred.
He made a lid for the chest. That was [the place where Yahweh would] forgive people’s sins. It [also] was (45 in./110 cm.) long and (27 in./66 cm.) wide.
7 Og han gjorde to Keruber af Guld, af drevet Arbejde gjorde han dem, paa begge Ender af Naadestolen,
He made two winged creatures from hammered gold.
8 een Kerub paa den ene Ende og een Kerub paa den anden Ende; han gjorde Keruber i eet med Naadestolen paa begge dens Ender.
One of these was put at each end of the chest. The gold [with which they were made] was joined to the gold from which the lid [was made].
9 Og Keruberne udbredte deres Vinger ovenover og dækkede over Naadestolen med deres Vinger; og den enes Ansigt var mod den andens, Kerubernes Ansigter vare vendte mod Naadestolen.
[He placed] the winged creatures facing each other so that their wings touched each other and spread out over the lid.
10 Og han gjorde Bordet af Sithimtræ, to Alen langt og een Alen bredt og halvanden Alen højt.
Bezalel made a table from acacia wood. It was (36 in./88 cm.) long, (18 in./44 cm.) wide, and (27 in./66 cm.) high.
11 Og han beslog det med purt Guld, og han gjorde en Guldkrans dertil rundt omkring.
He covered it with pure gold, and he put a gold border around it.
12 Han gjorde ogsaa en Liste dertil trindt omkring, en Haandbred høj, og gjorde en Guldkrans trindt omkring dens Liste.
He made a rim all around it, (3 in./7 cm.) wide. He put a gold border around the rim.
13 Og han støbte fire Guldringe dertil og satte Ringene i de fire Hjørner, som vare ved dets fire Fødder.
He made/cast four rings from gold and fastened the rings to the four corners of the table, one ring close to each leg [of the table].
14 Tvært over for Listen vare Ringene, at Stængerne kunde stikkes deri til at bære Bordet.
The rings were fastened to the table near the rim.
15 Og han gjorde Stængerne af Sithimtræ og beslog dem med Guld til at bære Bordet.
He made two poles from acacia wood and covered them with gold. These poles for carrying the table were then inserted into the rings.
16 Og han gjorde Redskaberne, som skulde til Bordet, dets Fade og dets Skaaler og dets Bægere og dets Kander, med hvilke der skulde udgydes Drikoffer, af purt Guld.
He also made from pure gold all the things to be put on the table. He made the plates, the cups, and the jars and bowls to be used [when the priests] poured out wine [as an offering to Yahweh].
17 Og han gjorde Lysestagen af purt Guld; af drevet Arbejde gjorde han Lysestagen; dens Fod og dens Stang, dens Bægere, dens Knopper og dens Blomster vare ud af eet med den.
[He] made the lampstand from pure gold. Its base and its shaft were hammered from [one large lump of] gold. [The branches of the lampstand], the cups for holding the oil, the flower buds and the petals [that decorated the branches of the lamp, the base, and the shaft were all hammered from] one [big] lump of gold.
18 Og seks Grene gik ud fra dens Sider, tre Grene paa Lysestagen fra dens ene Side, og tre Grene paa Lysestagen fra dens anden Side.
There were six branches on the lampstand, three on each side [of the shaft].
19 Tre Mandelblomstbægere var der paa den ene Gren, en Knop og et Blomster, og tre Mandelblomstbægere paa den anden Gren, en Knop og et Blomster; saaledes var det paa de seks Grene, som gik ud fra Lysestagen.
Each of the branches had on it three [gold decorations that looked like] almond blossoms. These decorations also had flower buds and [flower] petals.
20 Men paa Lysestagen vare fire Mandelblomstbægere, dens Knopper og dens Blomster,
On the [shaft of the] lampstand there were four [gold decorations that also looked like] almond blossoms, each one with flower buds and [flower] petals.
21 nemlig een Knop under de to Grene derpaa, og een Knop under de to andre Grene derpaa, og een Knop under de to øvrige Grene derpaa for de seks Grene, som gik ud fra den.
On each side, beneath and extending from each of the branches, there was one [flower] bud.
22 Deres Knopper og deres Grene vare ud af eet med den selv, det var altsammen eet drevet Arbejde af purt Guld.
All these [flower] buds and branches, along with the shaft, were hammered from one large lump of pure gold.
23 Og han gjorde dens syv Lamper og dens Sakse og dens Tandekar af purt Guld.
Bezalel also made seven small cups [for holding oil. He put one cup on top of the shaft and he put the others on top of the branches]. He made from pure gold the tongs [for removing the burned wicks] and the trays [in which to put the burned wicks].
24 Af et Centner purt Guld gjorde han den og alle dens Redskaber.
He used (75 pounds/35 kg.) of pure gold to make the lampstand and all the things that were used to take care of it.
25 Og han gjorde Røgelsealteret af Sithimtræ, een Alen langt og een Alen bredt, firkantet og to Alen højt; dets Horn vare ud af eet med det.
From acacia wood, Bezalel made the altar [for burning] incense. It was square, (18 in./45 cm.) on each side. It was (3 ft./90 cm.) high. He made [a projection that looked like] a horn on each of the top corners. The projections were carved from the same block of wood that the altar was made of.
26 Og han beslog det med purt Guld, dets Overdel og dets Sider omkring og dets Horn, og gjorde en Guldkrans til det rundt omkring.
He covered the top and the four sides, including the projections, with pure gold. He put a gold border around the altar, [near the top].
27 Og han gjorde to Guldringe dertil, under dets Krans paa begge Sidestykkerne deraf, paa begge Sider derpaa, til at stikke Stængerne deri, for at bære det med dem.
He made two gold rings for carrying the altar. Then he attached them to the altar below the border, one on each side of the altar. The poles by means of which the altar was to be carried were to be inserted into those rings.
28 Men Stængerne gjorde han af Sithimtræ og beslog dem med Guld.
He made those [two] poles from acacia wood and covered them with gold.
29 Og han gjorde den hellige Salveolie og den rene Røgelse af vellugtende Urter efter Kunstens Regler.
He also made the sacred oil for anointing and the pure sweet-smelling incense. He mixed the incense together as a skilled perfumer would.
