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.
And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of the reign of Solomon over Israel, in the month Zio (the same is the second month), he began to build a house to the Lord.
2 Templet, som Kong Salomo byggede HERREN, var tresindstyve Alen langt, tyve Alen bredt og tredive Alen højt.
And the house, which king Solomon built to the Lord, was threescore cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and thirty cubits in height.
3 Forhallen foran Templets Hellige var tyve Alen lang, svarende til Templets Bredde, og ti Alen bred.
And there was a porch before the temple of twenty cubits in length, according to the measure of the breadth of the temple: and it was ten cubits in breadth before the face of the temple.
4 Han forsynede Templet med Gittervinduer i Bjælkerammer,
And he made in the temple oblique windows.
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 upon the wall of the temple he built floors round about, in the walls of the house round about the temple and the oracle, and he made sides round about.
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 floor that was underneath, was five cubits in breadth, and the middle floor was six cubits in breadth, and the third door was seven cubits in breadth. And he put beams in the house round about on the outside, that they might not be fastened in the walls of the temple.
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 house, when it was in building, was built of stones hewed and made ready: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house when it was in building.
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 for the middle side was on the right hand of the house: and by winding stairs they went up to the middle room, and from the middle to the third.
9 Saaledes byggede han Templet færdigt, og han lagde Taget med Bjælker og Planker af Cedertræ.
So he built the house, and finished it: and he covered the house with roofs of cedar.
10 Han byggede Tilbygningen rundt om hele Templet, hvert Stokværk fem Alen højt, og den blev forbundet med Templet med Cederbjælker.
And he built a floor over all the house five cubits in height, and he covered the house with timber of cedar.
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,
This house, which thou buildest, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments, walking in them, I will fulfill my word to thee which I spoke to David thy father.
13 og tage Bolig blandt Israeliterne og ikke forlade mit Folk Israel.«
And I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.
14 Saaledes byggede Salomo Templet færdigt.
So Solomon built the house and finished it.
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.
And he built the walls of the house on the inside, with boards of cedar, from the floor of the house to the top of the walls, and to the roots, he covered it with boards of cedar on the inside: and he covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.
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 he built up twenty cubits with boards of cedar at the hinder part of the temple, from the floor to the top: and made the inner house of the oracle to be the holy of holies.
17 Fyrretyve Alen maalte det Hellige foran Inderhallen.
And the temple itself before the doors of the oracle 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.
And all the house was covered within with cedar, having the turnings, and the joints thereof artfully wrought and carvings projecting out: all was covered with boards of cedar: and no stone could be seen in the wall at all.
19 Han indrettede Inderhallen inde i Templet for der at opstille HERRENS Pagts Ark.
And he made the oracle in the midst of the house, in the inner part, to set there the ark of the covenant 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
Now the oracle was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in height. And he covered and overlaid it with most pure gold. And the altar also he covered with cedar.
21 foran Inderhallen og overtrak det med Guld. Og Salomo overtrak Templet indvendig med fint Guld og trak for med Guldkæder.
And the house before the oracle he overlaid with most pure gold, and fastened on the plates with nails of 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.
And there was nothing in the temple that was not covered with gold: the whole altar of the oracle he covered also with gold.
23 I Inderhallen satte han to Keruber af vildt Oliventræ, ti Alen høje;
And he made in the oracle two cherubims of olive tree, of ten cubits in height.
24 den ene Kerubs Vinger var hver fem Alen, der var ti Alen fra den ene Vingespids til den anden;
One wing of the cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of the cherub was five cubits: that is, in all ten cubits, from the extremity of one wing to the extremity of the other wing.
25 ti Alen maalte ogsaa den anden Kerub; begge Keruber havde samme Maal og Skikkelse;
The second cherub also was ten cubits: and the measure, and the work was the same in both the cherubims:
26 begge Keruber var ti Alen høje.
That is to say, one cherub was ten cubits high, and in like manner the other cherub.
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.
And he set the cherubims in the midst of the inner temple: and the cherubims stretched forth their wings, and the wing of the one touched one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall: and the other wings in the midst of the temple touched one another.
28 Keruberne overtrak han med Guld.
And he overlaid the cherubims 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 temple round about he carved with divers figures and carvings: and he made in them cherubims and palm trees, and divers representations, as it were standing out, and coming forth from the wall.
30 og Templets Gulv overtrak han med Guld, baade i den inderste og den yderste Hal.
And the floor of the house he also overlaid with gold within and without.
31 Til Inderhallens Indgang lod han lave to Dørfløje af vildt Oliventræ; Overliggeren og Dørposterne dannede en Femkant.
And in the entrance of the oracle he made little doors of olive tree, and posts of five corners,
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.
And two doors of olive tree: and he carved upon them figures of cherubims, and figures of palm trees, and carvings very much projecting: and he overlaid them with gold: and he covered both the cherubims and the palm trees, and the other things with gold.
33 Ligeledes lod han til Indgangen til det Hellige lave Dørstolper af vildt Oliventræ, firkantede Dørstolper,
And he made in the entrance of the temple posts of olive tree foursquare:
34 og to Dørfløje af Cyprestræ, saaledes at hver af de to Dørfløje bestod af to bevægelige Dørflader;
And two doors of fir tree, one of each side: and each door was double, and so opened with folding 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.
And he carved cherubims, and palm trees, and carved work standing very much out: and he overlaid all with golden plates in square work by rule.
36 Ligeledes indrettede han den indre Forgaard ved at bygge tre Lag Kvadersten og et Lag Cederbjælker.
And he built the inner court with three rows of polished stones, and one row of beams of cedar.
37 I det fjerde Aar lagdes Grunden til HERRENS Hus i Ziv Maaned;
In the fourth year was the house of the Lord founded in the month Zio:
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 house was finished in all the works thereof, and in all the appurtenances thereof: and he was seven years in building it.
