Første Kongebog 7
1 Paa sit Palads byggede Salomo i tretten Aar; saa fik han hele sit Palads færdigt.
Solomon, however, took thirteen years to complete the construction of his entire palace.
2 Han byggede Libanonskovhuset, hundrede Alen langt, halvtredsindstyve Alen bredt og tredive Alen højt, hvilende paa tre Rækker Cedersøjler med Skraastøtter af Cedertræ.
He built the House of the Forest of Lebanon a hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high, with four rows of cedar pillars supporting the cedar beams.
3 Det var oven over Rummene tækket med Cederbjælker, der hvilede paa fem og fyrretyve Søjler, femten i hver Række.
The house was roofed with cedar above the beams that rested on the pillars—forty-five beams, fifteen per row.
4 Der var tre Lag Bjælker, og Lysaabning sad over for Lysaabning tre Gange.
There were three rows of high windows facing one another in three tiers.
5 Alle Døre og Lysaabninger havde firkantede Bjælkerammer, og Lysaabning sad over for Lysaabning tre Gange.
All the doorways had rectangular frames, with the openings facing one another in three tiers.
6 Fremdeles opførte han Søjlehallen, halvtredsindstyve Alen lang og tredive Alen bred, med en Hal, Søjler og Trappe foran.
Solomon made his colonnade fifty cubits long and thirty cubits wide, with a portico in front of it and a canopy with pillars in front of the portico.
7 Fremdeles opførte han Tronhallen, hvor han holdt Rettergang, Domhallen; den var dækket med Cedertræ fra Gulv til Loft,
In addition, he built a hall for the throne, the Hall of Justice, where he was to judge. It was paneled with cedar from floor to ceiling.
8 Hans eget Hus, det, han boede i, i den anden Forgaard inden for Hallen, var bygget paa samme Maade. Og til Faraos Datter, som Salomo havde ægtet, opførte han et Hus i Lighed med denne Hal.
And the palace where Solomon would live, set further back, was of similar construction. He also made a palace like this hall for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had married.
9 Det hele var af kostbare Sten, tilhugget efter Maal, tilsavet baade indvendig og udvendig, lige fra Grunden til Murkanten, hvilket ogsaa gjaldt den store Forgaard uden om Templets Forgaard.
All these buildings were constructed with costly stones, cut to size and trimmed with saws inside and out from the foundation to the eaves, and from the outside to the great courtyard.
10 Grunden blev lagt med kostbare, store Sten, nogle paa ti, andre paa otte Alen.
The foundations were laid with large, costly stones, some ten cubits long and some eight cubits long.
11 Ovenpaa lagdes kostbare Sten, tilhugget efter Maal, og Cederbjælker.
Above these were high-grade stones, cut to size, and cedar beams.
12 Den store Forgaard var hele Vejen rundt omgivet af tre Lag tilhugne Sten og et Lag Cederbjælker, ligeledes HERRENS Hus's Forgaard, den indre, og Forgaarden om Paladsets Forhal.
The great courtyard was surrounded by three rows of dressed stone and a row of trimmed cedar beams, as were the inner courtyard and portico of the house of the LORD.
13 Kong Salomo sendte Bud til Tyrus efter Hiram.
Now King Solomon sent to bring Huram from Tyre.
14 Han var Søn af en Enke fra Naftalis Stamme, men hans Fader var en Kobbersmed fra Tyrus. Han sad inde med Visdom, Forstand og Indsigt i at udføre alskens Kobberarbejde; og han kom til Kong Salomo og udførte alt det Arbejde, han skulde have udført.
He was the son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a craftsman in bronze. Huram had great skill, understanding, and knowledge for every kind of bronze work. So he came to King Solomon and carried out all his work.
15 Han støbte de to Kobbersøjler foran Forhallen. Den ene var atten Alen høj; den maalte tolv Alen i Omkreds; den var hul, og Kobberet var fire Fingerbredder tykt. Ligesaa den anden Søjle.
He cast two pillars of bronze, each eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference.
16 Og han lavede to Søjlehoveder til at sidde oven paa Søjlerne, støbt af Kobber, hvert Søjlehoved fem Alen højt.
He also made two capitals of cast bronze to set on top of the pillars, each capital five cubits high.
17 Og han lavede to Fletværker, flettet Arbejde, Snore, kædeformet Arbejde, til at dække Søjlehovederne oven paa Søjlerne, et Fletværk til hvert Søjlehoved;
For the capitals on top of the pillars he made a network of lattice, with wreaths of chainwork, seven for each capital.
18 og han lavede Granatæblerne, to Rækker rundt om det ene Fletværk; der var 200 Granatæbler i Rækker rundt om det ene Søjlehoved; paa samme Maade gjorde han ogsaa ved det andet.
Likewise, he made the pillars with two rows of pomegranates around each grating to cover each capital atop the pillars.
19 Søjlehovederne paa de to Søjler var liljeformet Arbejde.
And the capitals atop the pillars in the portico were shaped like lilies, four cubits high.
20 Søjlehovederne sad paa de to Søjler ... .
On the capitals of both pillars, just above the rounded projection next to the network, were the two hundred pomegranates in rows encircling each capital.
21 Derpaa opstillede han Søjlerne ved Templets Forhal; den Søjle, han opstillede til højre, kaldte han Jakin, og den, han opstillede til venstre, kaldte han Boaz.
Thus he set up the pillars at the portico of the temple. The pillar to the south he named Jachin, and the pillar to the north he named Boaz.
22 Øverst paa Søjlerne var der liljeformet Arbejde. Saaledes blev Arbejdet med Søjlerne færdigt.
And the tops of the pillars were shaped like lilies. So the work of the pillars was completed.
23 Fremdeles lavede han Havet i støbt Arbejde, ti Alen fra Rand til Rand, helt rundt, fem Alen højt; det maalte tredive Alen i Omkreds.
He also made the Sea of cast metal. It was circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim, five cubits in height, and thirty cubits in circumference.
24 Under Randen var det hele Vejen rundt omgivet af agurklignende Prydelser, der naaede helt omkring Havet, tredive Alen; i to Rækker sad de agurklignende Prydelser, støbt i eet dermed.
Below the rim, ornamental buds encircled it, ten per cubit all the way around the Sea, cast in two rows as a part of the Sea.
25 Det stod paa tolv Okser, saaledes at tre vendte mod Nord, tre mod Vest, tre mod Syd og tre mod Øst; Havet stod oven paa dem; de vendte alle Bagkroppen indad.
The Sea stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The Sea rested on them, with all their hindquarters toward the center.
26 Det var en Haandsbred tykt, og Randen var formet som Randen paa et Bæger, som en udsprungen Lilje. Det tog 2000 Bat.
It was a handbreadth thick, and its rim was fashioned like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It could hold two thousand baths.
27 Fremdeles lavede han de ti Vognstel af Kobber; hvert Stel var fire Alen langt, fire Alen bredt og tre Alen højt.
In addition, he made ten movable stands of bronze, each four cubits long, four cubits wide, and three cubits high.
28 Og Stellene var indrettet saa ledes: De havde Mellemstykker, og Mellemstykkerne sad mellem Rammestykkerne.
This was the design of the stands: They had side panels attached to uprights,
29 Paa Mellemstykkerne mellem Rammestykkerne var der Løver, Okser og Keruber, ligeledes paa Rammestykkerne. Over og under Løverne og Okserne var der Kranse, lavet saaledes, at de hang ned.
and on the panels between the uprights were lions, oxen, and cherubim. On the uprights was a pedestal above, and below the lions and oxen were wreaths of beveled work.
30 Hvert Stel havde fire Kobberhjul og Kobberaksler. De fire Hjørner havde Bærearme; under Bækkenet var Bærearmene faststøbt, og midt for hver af dem var der Kranse.
Each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles and a basin resting on four supports, with wreaths at each side.
31 Dets Rand var inden for Bærearmene, een Alen høj, og den var rund: ogsaa paa Randen var der udskaaret Arbejde. Mellemstykkerne var firkantede, ikke runde.
The opening to each stand inside the crown at the top was one cubit deep, with a round opening like the design of a pedestal, a cubit and a half wide. And around its opening were engravings, but the panels of the stands were square, not round.
32 De fire Hjul sad under Mellemstykkerne, og Hjulenes Akselholdere sad paa Stellet; hvert Hjul var halvanden Alen højt.
There were four wheels under the panels, and the axles of the wheels were attached to the stand; each wheel was a cubit and a half in diameter.
33 Hjulene var indrettet som Vognhjul, og deres Akselholdere, Fælge, Eger og Nav var alle støbt.
The wheels were made like chariot wheels; their axles, rims, spokes, and hubs were all of cast metal.
34 Der var en Bærearm paa hvert Stels fire Hjørner, og Bærearmene var i eet med Stellet;
Each stand had four handles, one for each corner, projecting from the stand.
35 og oven paa Stellet var der en Slags Fatning, en halv Alen høj og helt rund; og Akselholdere og Mellemstykker sad fast paa Stellet.
At the top of each stand was a circular band half a cubit high. The supports and panels were cast as a unit with the top of the stand.
36 Paa Fladerne indgraverede han Keruber, Løver og Palmer, efter som der var Plads til, omgivet af Kranse.
He engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees on the surfaces of the supports and panels, wherever each had space, with wreaths all around.
37 Saaledes lavede han de ti Stel; de var alle støbt paa samme Maade, med samme Maal og af samme Form.
In this way he made the ten stands, each with the same casting, dimensions, and shape.
38 Tillige lavede han ti Kobberbækkener; fyrretyve Bat tog hvert Bækken, og hvert Bækken maalte fire Alen, et Bækken til hvert af de ti Stel.
He also made ten bronze basins, each holding forty baths and measuring four cubits across, one basin for each of the ten stands.
39 Og han satte fem af Stellene ved Templets Sydside, fem ved Nordsiden; og Havet opstillede han ved Templets Sydside, ved det sydøstre Hjørne.
He set five stands on the south side of the temple and five on the north, and he put the Sea on the south side, at the southeast corner of the temple.
40 Fremdeles lavede Hirom Karrene, Skovlene og Skaalene. Der med var Hiram færdig med alt sit Arbejde for Kong Salomo til HERRENS Hus:
Additionally, Huram made the pots, shovels, and sprinkling bowls. So Huram finished all the work that he had undertaken for King Solomon in the house of the LORD:
41 De to Søjler, og de to kugleformede Søjlehoveder ovenpaa, de to Fletværker til at dække de to kugleformede Søjlehoveder paa Søjlerne,
the two pillars; the two bowl-shaped capitals atop the pillars; the two sets of network covering both bowls of the capitals atop the pillars;
42 de 400 Granatæbler til de to Fletværker, to Rækker Granatæbler til hvert Fletværk til at dække de to kugleformede Søjlehoveder paa de to Søjler,
the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network covering both the bowl-shaped capitals atop the pillars);
43 de ti Stel med de ti Bækkener paa,
the ten stands; the ten basins on the stands;
44 Havet med de tolv Okser under,
the Sea; the twelve oxen underneath the Sea;
45 Karrene, Skovlene og Skaalene. Alle disse Ting, som Hiram lavede for Kong Salomo til HERRENS Hus, var af blankt Kobber.
and the pots, shovels, and sprinkling bowls. All the articles that Huram made for King Solomon in the house of the LORD were made of burnished bronze.
46 I Jordanegnen lod Kongen dem støbe, ved Adamas Vadested mellem Sukkot og Zaretan.
The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Succoth and Zarethan.
47 Salomo lod alle Tingene uvejet paa Grund af deres saare store Mængde, Kobberet blev ikke vejet.
Solomon left all these articles unweighed, because there were so many. The weight of the bronze could not be determined.
48 Og Salomo lod alle Tingene, som hørte til HERRENS Hus, lave: Guldalteret, Guldbordet, som Skuebrødene laa paa,
Solomon also made all the furnishings for the house of the LORD: the golden altar; the golden table on which was placed the Bread of the Presence;
49 Lysestagerne, fem til højre og fem til venstre, foran Inderhallen, af purt Guld, med Blomsterbægrene, Lamperne og Lysesaksene af Guld,
the lampstands of pure gold in front of the inner sanctuary, five on the right side and five on the left; the gold flowers, lamps, and tongs;
50 Fadene, Knivene, Skaalene, Kanderne og Panderne af fint Guld, Hængslerne til Dørene for den inderste Hal, det Allerhelligste, og til Dørene for den yderste Hal, det Hellige, af Guld.
the pure gold basins, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, ladles, and censers; and the gold hinges for the doors of the inner temple (that is, the Most Holy Place ) as well as for the doors of the main hall of the temple.
51 Da hele Arbejdet, som Salomo lod udføre ved HERRENS Hus, var færdigt, bragte Salomo sin Fader Davids Helliggaver, Sølvet og Guldet, derind og lagde alle Tingene i Skatkamrene i HERRENS Hus.
So all the work that King Solomon had performed for the house of the LORD was completed. Then Solomon brought in the items his father David had dedicated—the silver, the gold, and the furnishings—and he placed them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD.
