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.

It happened in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of Jehovah.

2 Templet, som Kong Salomo byggede HERREN, var tresindstyve Alen langt, tyve Alen bredt og tredive Alen højt.

The house which king Solomon built for Jehovah, its length was one hundred three feet and four inches, and its breadth thirty-four feet and five inches, and its height fifty-one feet and eight inches.

3 Forhallen foran Templets Hellige var tyve Alen lang, svarende til Templets Bredde, og ti Alen bred.

The porch before the temple of the house, thirty-four feet and five inches was its length, according to the breadth of the house. Seventeen feet and three inches was its breadth before the house.

4 Han forsynede Templet med Gittervinduer i Bjælkerammer,

For the house he made windows of fixed lattice work.

5 og op til Tempelmuren byggede han en Tilbygning rundt om Templets Mure, rundt om det Hellige og Inderhallen, og indrettede Siderum rundt om.

Against the wall of the house he built stories all around, against the walls of the house all around, both of the temple and of the inner sanctuary; and he made side-rooms all around.

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 story was eight feet and seven inches broad, and the middle was ten feet and four inches broad, and the third was twelve feet and one inch broad; for on the outside he made offsets in the wall of the house all around, that the beams should not have hold 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.

The house, when it was in building, was built of stone prepared at the quarry; and there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while 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.

And the door for the lowest side-rooms was in the right side of the house: and they went up by winding stairs into the middle story, and out of the middle into 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 beams and planks of cedar.

10 Han byggede Tilbygningen rundt om hele Templet, hvert Stokværk fem Alen højt, og den blev forbundet med Templet med Cederbjælker.

He built the stories against all the house, each eight feet and seven inches high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.

11 Da kom HERRENS Ord til Salomo saaledes:

The word of Jehovah 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,

"Concerning this house which you are building, if you will walk in my statutes, and execute my ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I establish my word with you, which I spoke to David your father.

13 og tage Bolig blandt Israeliterne og ikke forlade mit Folk Israel.«

I will dwell among 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.

He built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar: from the floor of the house to the walls of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood; and he covered the floor of the house with boards 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.

He built thirty-four feet and five inches on the back part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the beams, and he built this within as an inner sanctuary, the most holy place.

17 Fyrretyve Alen maalte det Hellige foran Inderhallen.

In front of the temple sanctuary was sixty-eight feet and eleven inches.

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 the inside of the house was cedar, carved with buds and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.

19 Han indrettede Inderhallen inde i Templet for der at opstille HERRENS Pagts Ark.

He prepared an inner sanctuary in the midst of the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of Jehovah.

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 before the sanctuary was thirty-four feet and five inches in length, and thirty-four feet and five inches in breadth, and thirty-four feet and five inches in its height; and he overlaid it with pure gold. And he made the altar of cedar.

21 foran Inderhallen og overtrak det med Guld. Og Salomo overtrak Templet indvendig med fint Guld og trak for med Guldkæder.

So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold, and he drew chains of gold across, in front of the inner sanctuary, and he overlaid it 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.

The whole house he overlaid with gold, until all the house was finished: also the whole altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary he overlaid with gold.

23 I Inderhallen satte han to Keruber af vildt Oliventræ, ti Alen høje;

In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive wood, each seventeen feet and three inches high.

24 den ene Kerubs Vinger var hver fem Alen, der var ti Alen fra den ene Vingespids til den anden;

Eight feet and seven inches was the one wing of the cherub, and eight feet and seven inches the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing to the uttermost part of the other were seventeen feet and three inches.

25 ti Alen maalte ogsaa den anden Kerub; begge Keruber havde samme Maal og Skikkelse;

The other cherub was seventeen feet and three inches: both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.

26 begge Keruber var ti Alen høje.

The height of the one cherub was seventeen feet and three inches, and so was it of 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.

He set the cherubim within the inner house; and the wings of the cherubim were stretched forth, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.

28 Keruberne overtrak han med Guld.

He overlaid the cherubim 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,

He carved all the walls of the house around with carved figures of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, inside and outside.

30 og Templets Gulv overtrak han med Guld, baade i den inderste og den yderste Hal.

The floor of the house he overlaid with gold, inside and outside.

31 Til Inderhallens Indgang lod han lave to Dørfløje af vildt Oliventræ; Overliggeren og Dørposterne dannede en Femkant.

For the entrance of the inner sanctuary he made doors of olive wood: the lintel and door posts were a fifth part of the wall.

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.

So he made two doors of olive wood; and he carved on them carvings of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold; and he spread the gold on the cherubim, and on the palm trees.

33 Ligeledes lod han til Indgangen til det Hellige lave Dørstolper af vildt Oliventræ, firkantede Dørstolper,

So also he made for the entrance of the temple door posts of olive wood, out of a fourth part of the wall;

34 og to Dørfløje af Cyprestræ, saaledes at hver af de to Dørfløje bestod af to bevægelige Dørflader;

and two doors of fir wood: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.

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.

He carved cherubim and palm trees and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold fitted on the engraved work.

36 Ligeledes indrettede han den indre Forgaard ved at bygge tre Lag Kvadersten og et Lag Cederbjælker.

He built the inner court with three courses of cut stone, and a course of cedar beams.

37 I det fjerde Aar lagdes Grunden til HERRENS Hus i Ziv Maaned;

In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of Jehovah laid, 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.

In the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all its parts, and according to all its fashion. So was he seven years in building it.
