Første Kongebog 6
1 480 Aar efter at Israeliterne var vandret ud af Ægypten, i Ziv Maaned, det er den anden Maaned, i det fjerde Aar Salomo herskede i Israel, begyndte han at bygge HERREN Templet.
In the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year that Solomon was king of Israel, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, the building of the Lord's house was started.
2 Templet, som Kong Salomo byggede HERREN, var tresindstyve Alen langt, tyve Alen bredt og tredive Alen højt.
The house which Solomon made for the Lord was sixty cubits long, twenty cubits wide and thirty cubits high.
3 Forhallen foran Templets Hellige var tyve Alen lang, svarende til Templets Bredde, og ti Alen bred.
The covered way before the Temple of the house was twenty cubits long, as wide as the house, and ten cubits wide in front of the house.
4 Han forsynede Templet med Gittervinduer i Bjælkerammer,
And for the house he made windows, with network across.
5 og op til Tempelmuren byggede han en Tilbygning rundt om Templets Mure, rundt om det Hellige og Inderhallen, og indrettede Siderum rundt om.
And against the walls all round, and against the walls of the Temple and of the inmost room, he put up wings, with side rooms all round:
6 Det nederste Rum var fem Alen bredt, det mellemste seks og det tredje syv, thi han byggede Fremspring i Templets Ydermur rundt om, for at man ikke skulde være nødt til at lade Bjælkerne gribe ind i Templets Mure.
The lowest line of them being five cubits wide, the middle six cubits wide and the third seven cubits; for there was a space all round the outside walls of the house so that the boards supporting the rooms did not have to be fixed in the walls of the house.
7 Ved Templets Opførelse byggede man med Sten, der var gjort færdige i Stenbrudet, derfor hørtes hverken Lyd af Hamre, Mejsler eller andet Jernværktøj, medens Templet byggedes.
(And the stones used in the building of the house were squared at the place where they were cut out; there was no sound of hammer or axe or any iron instrument while they were building the house.)
8 Indgangen til det nederste Rum var paa Templets Sydside, og derfra førte Vindeltrapper op til det mellemste og derfra igen op til det tredje Rum.
The door to the lowest side rooms was in the right side of the house; and they went up by twisting steps into the middle rooms, and from the middle into the third.
9 Saaledes byggede han Templet færdigt, og han lagde Taget med Bjælker og Planker af Cedertræ.
So he put up the house and made it complete, roofing it with boards of cedar-wood.
10 Han byggede Tilbygningen rundt om hele Templet, hvert Stokværk fem Alen højt, og den blev forbundet med Templet med Cederbjælker.
And he put up the line of side rooms against the walls of the house, fifteen cubits high, resting against the house on boards of cedar-wood.
11 Da kom HERRENS Ord til Salomo saaledes:
(And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying,
12 »Dette Hus, som du er ved at bygge — dersom du vandrer efter mine Anordninger og gør efter mine Lovbud og omhyggeligt vandrer efter alle mine Bud, vil jeg paa dig stadfæste det Ord, jeg talede til din Fader David,
About this house which you are building: if you will keep my laws and give effect to my decisions and be guided by my rules, I will give effect to my word which I gave to David your father.
13 og tage Bolig blandt Israeliterne og ikke forlade mit Folk Israel.«
And I will be ever among the children of Israel, and will not go away from my people.
14 Saaledes byggede Salomo Templet færdigt.
So Solomon made the building of the house complete.)
15 Templets Vægge dækkede han indvendig med Cederbrædder; fra Bygningens Gulv til Loftsbjælkerne dækkede han dem indvendig med Træ; og over Templets Gulv lagde han Cypresbrædder.
The walls of the house were covered inside with cedar-wood boards; from the floor to the roof of the house they were covered inside with wood; and the floor was covered with boards of cypress-wood.
16 Han dækkede de tyve bageste Alen af Templet med Cederbrædder fra Gulv til Bjælker og indrettede sig Rummet derinde til en Inderhal, det Allerhelligste.
And at the back of the house a further space of twenty cubits was shut in with boards of cedar-wood, for the inmost room.
17 Fyrretyve Alen maalte det Hellige foran Inderhallen.
And the house, that is, the Temple, in front of the holy place was forty cubits long.
18 Templet var indvendig dækket med Cedertræ, udskaaret Arbejde i Form af Agurker og Blomsterkranse; alt var af Cedertræ, ikke en Sten var at se.
(All the inside of the house was cedar-wood, ornamented with designs of buds and flowers; no stonework was to be seen inside.)
19 Han indrettede Inderhallen inde i Templet for der at opstille HERRENS Pagts Ark.
And he made ready an inmost room in the middle of the house, in which to put the ark of the agreement of the Lord.
20 Inderhallen var tyve Alen lang, tyve Alen bred og tyve Alen høj, og han overtrak den med fint Guld. Fremdeles lavede han et Alter af Cedertræ
And the inmost room was twenty cubits square and twenty cubits high, plated over with clear gold, and he made an altar of cedar-wood, plating it with gold.
21 foran Inderhallen og overtrak det med Guld. Og Salomo overtrak Templet indvendig med fint Guld og trak for med Guldkæder.
Solomon had all the inside of the house covered with gold, and he put chains of gold across in front of the inmost room, which itself was covered with gold.
22 Hele Templet overtrak han med Guld, hele Templet fra den ene Ende til den anden; ogsaa hele Alteret foran Inderhallen overtrak han med Guld.
Plates of gold were put all through the house till it was covered completely (and the altar in the inmost room was all covered with gold).
23 I Inderhallen satte han to Keruber af vildt Oliventræ, ti Alen høje;
In the inmost room he made two winged beings of olive-wood, ten cubits high;
24 den ene Kerubs Vinger var hver fem Alen, der var ti Alen fra den ene Vingespids til den anden;
With outstretched wings five cubits wide; the distance from the edge of one wing to the edge of the other was ten cubits.
25 ti Alen maalte ogsaa den anden Kerub; begge Keruber havde samme Maal og Skikkelse;
The two winged ones were ten cubits high, of the same size and form.
26 begge Keruber var ti Alen høje.
The two of them were ten cubits high.
27 Og han opstillede Keruberne midt i den inderste Del af Templet, og de udbredte deres Vinger saaledes, at den enes ene Vinge rørte den ene Væg og den andens ene Vinge den modsatte Væg, medens de to andre Vinger rørte hinanden midt i Templet.
These were placed inside the inner house, their outstretched wings touching the walls of the house, one touching one wall and one the other, while their other wings were touching in the middle.
28 Keruberne overtrak han med Guld.
These winged ones were plated over with gold.
29 Rundt paa alle Vægge i Templet anbragte han udskaaret Arbejde, Keruber, Palmer og Blomsterkranse, baade i den inderste og den yderste Hal,
And all the walls of the house inside and out were ornamented with forms of winged ones and palm-trees and open flowers.
30 og Templets Gulv overtrak han med Guld, baade i den inderste og den yderste Hal.
And the floor of the house was covered with gold, inside and out.
31 Til Inderhallens Indgang lod han lave to Dørfløje af vildt Oliventræ; Overliggeren og Dørposterne dannede en Femkant.
For the way into the inmost room he made doors of olive-wood, the arch and the door supports forming a five-sided opening.
32 Og paa de to Oliventræsfløje lod han udskære Keruber, Palmer og Blomsterkranse og overtrak dem med Guld, idet han lod Guldet trykke ned i de udskaarne Keruber og Palmer.
On the olive-wood doors were cut designs of winged ones and palm-trees and open flowers, all of them, with the doors, plated with gold.
33 Ligeledes lod han til Indgangen til det Hellige lave Dørstolper af vildt Oliventræ, firkantede Dørstolper,
Then he made pillars of olive-wood for the way into the Temple; the pillars were square:
34 og to Dørfløje af Cyprestræ, saaledes at hver af de to Dørfløje bestod af to bevægelige Dørflader;
And two folding doors of cypress-wood, with two leaves.
35 og han lod udskære Keruber, Palmer og Blomsterkranse i dem og overtrak dem med Guld, der laa i et tyndt Lag over de udskaarne Figurer.
These were ornamented with designs of winged ones and palm-trees and open flowers, plated over with gold.
36 Ligeledes indrettede han den indre Forgaard ved at bygge tre Lag Kvadersten og et Lag Cederbjælker.
And the inner space was walled with three lines of squared stones and a line of cedar-wood boards.
37 I det fjerde Aar lagdes Grunden til HERRENS Hus i Ziv Maaned;
In the fourth year the base of the house was put in its place, in the month Ziv.
38 og i det ellevte Aar i Bul Maaned, det er den ottende Maaned, fuldførtes Templet i alle dets Dele og Stykker; han byggede paa det i syv Aar.
And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, the building of the house was complete in every detail, as it had been designed. So he was seven years building it.
