Første Kongebog 7

1 Paa sit Palads byggede Salomo i tretten Aar; saa fik han hele sit Palads færdigt.

Solomon was thirteen years building a house for himself till it was complete.

2 Han byggede Libanonskovhuset, hundrede Alen langt, halvtredsindstyve Alen bredt og tredive Alen højt, hvilende paa tre Rækker Cedersøjler med Skraastøtter af Cedertræ.

And he made the house of the Woods of Lebanon, which was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high, resting on four lines of cedar-wood pillars with cedar-wood supports on the pillars.

3 Det var oven over Rummene tækket med Cederbjælker, der hvilede paa fem og fyrretyve Søjler, femten i hver Række.

And it was covered with cedar over the forty-five supports which were on the pillars, fifteen in a line.

4 Der var tre Lag Bjælker, og Lysaabning sad over for Lysaabning tre Gange.

There were three lines of window-frames, window facing window in every line.

5 Alle Døre og Lysaabninger havde firkantede Bjælkerammer, og Lysaabning sad over for Lysaabning tre Gange.

And all the doors and windows had square frames, with the windows facing one another in three lines.

6 Fremdeles opførte han Søjlehallen, halvtredsindstyve Alen lang og tredive Alen bred, med en Hal, Søjler og Trappe foran.

And he made a covered room of pillars, fifty cubits long and thirty cubits wide, and ... with steps before it.

7 Fremdeles opførte han Tronhallen, hvor han holdt Rettergang, Domhallen; den var dækket med Cedertræ fra Gulv til Loft,

Then he made a covered room for his high seat when he gave decisions; this was the covered room of judging; it was covered with cedar-wood from floor to roof.

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 house for his living-place, the other open square in the covered room, was made in the same way. And then he made a house like it for Pharaoh's daughter, whom Solomon had taken as his wife.

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 made, inside and out, from base to crowning stone, and outside to the great walled square, of highly priced stone, cut to different sizes with cutting-instruments.

10 Grunden blev lagt med kostbare, store Sten, nogle paa ti, andre paa otte Alen.

And the base was of great masses of highly priced stone, some ten cubits and some eight cubits square.

11 Ovenpaa lagdes kostbare Sten, tilhugget efter Maal, og Cederbjælker.

Overhead were highly priced stones cut to measure, and cedar-wood.

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 outer square all round was walled with three lines of squared stones and a line of cedar-wood boards, round about the open square inside the house of the Lord and the covered room of the king's house.

13 Kong Salomo sendte Bud til Tyrus efter Hiram.

Then King Solomon sent and got Hiram 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 of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass; he was full of wisdom and knowledge and an expert worker in brass. He came to King Solomon and did all his work for him.

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 it was who made the two brass pillars; the first pillar was eighteen cubits high, and a line of twelve cubits went round it; and the second was the same.

16 Og han lavede to Søjlehoveder til at sidde oven paa Søjlerne, støbt af Kobber, hvert Søjlehoved fem Alen højt.

And he made the two crowns to be put on the tops of the pillars, of brass made soft in the fire; the crowns were 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;

There were nets of open-work for the crowns on the tops of the pillars, a net of open-work for one and a net of open-work for the other.

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.

And he made ornaments of apples; and two lines of apples all round over the network, covering the crowns of the pillars, the two crowns in the same way.

19 Søjlehovederne paa de to Søjler var liljeformet Arbejde.

The crowns on the tops of the pillars were ornamented with a design of flowers, and were four cubits across.

20 Søjlehovederne sad paa de to Søjler ... .

And there were crowns on the two pillars near the round part by the network, and there were two hundred apples in lines round every crown.

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.

He put up the pillars at the doorway of the Temple, naming the one on the right Jachin, and that on the left Boaz.

22 Øverst paa Søjlerne var der liljeformet Arbejde. Saaledes blev Arbejdet med Søjlerne færdigt.

The tops of the pillars had a design of flowers; and the work of making the pillars was complete.

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.

And he made a great metal water-vessel ten cubits across from edge to edge, five cubits high and thirty cubits round.

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.

And under the edge of it, circling it all round for ten cubits, were two lines of flower buds, made together with it from liquid metal.

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.

It was supported on twelve oxen, with their back parts turned to the middle of it, three of them facing to the north, three to the west, three to the south, and three to the east; the vessel was resting on top of them.

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 as thick as a man's open hand, and was curved like the edge of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it would take 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.

And he made ten wheeled bases of brass; every one 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.

And the bases were made in this way; their sides were square, fixed in a framework;

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 square sides between the frames were lions, oxen, and winged ones; and the same on the frame; and over and under the lions and the oxen and the winged ones were steps.

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.

Every base had four wheels of brass, turning on brass rods, and their four angles had angle-plates under them; the angle-plates under the base were of metal, and there were ornaments at the side of every one.

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 mouth of it inside the angle-plate was one cubit across; it was round like a pillar, a cubit and a half across; it had designs cut on it; the sides were square, not round.

32 De fire Hjul sad under Mellemstykkerne, og Hjulenes Akselholdere sad paa Stellet; hvert Hjul var halvanden Alen højt.

The four wheels were under the frames, and the rods on which the wheels were fixed were in the base; the wheels were a cubit and a half high.

33 Hjulene var indrettet som Vognhjul, og deres Akselholdere, Fælge, Eger og Nav var alle støbt.

The wheels were made like carriage-wheels, the rods on which they were fixed, the parts forming their edges, their rods and the middle points of them, were all formed out of liquid metal.

34 Der var en Bærearm paa hvert Stels fire Hjørner, og Bærearmene var i eet med Stellet;

And there were four angle-plates at the four angles of every base, forming part of the structure of the base.

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.

And at the top of the base there was a round vessel, half a cubit high;

36 Paa Fladerne indgraverede han Keruber, Løver og Palmer, efter som der var Plads til, omgivet af Kranse.

In the spaces of the flat sides and on the frames of them, he made designs of winged ones, lions, and palm-trees, with ornamented edges all round.

37 Saaledes lavede han de ti Stel; de var alle støbt paa samme Maade, med samme Maal og af samme Form.

All the ten bases were made in this way, after the same design, of the same size and form.

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.

And he made ten brass washing-vessels, everyone taking forty baths, and measuring four cubits; one vessel was placed on every one of the ten bases.

39 Og han satte fem af Stellene ved Templets Sydside, fem ved Nordsiden; og Havet opstillede han ved Templets Sydside, ved det sydøstre Hjørne.

And he put the bases by the house, five on the right side and five on the left; and he put the great water-vessel on the right side of the house, to the east, facing south.

40 Fremdeles lavede Hirom Karrene, Skovlene og Skaalene. Der med var Hiram færdig med alt sit Arbejde for Kong Salomo til HERRENS Hus:

And Hiram made the pots and spades and the basins. So Hiram came to the end of all the work he did 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 and the two cups of the crowns which were on the tops of the two pillars; and the network covering the two cups of the crowns on the tops of 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,

And the four hundred apples for the network, two lines of apples for every network, covering the two cups of the crowns on the pillars;

43 de ti Stel med de ti Bækkener paa,

And the ten bases, with the ten washing-vessels on them;

44 Havet med de tolv Okser under,

And the great water-vessel, with the twelve oxen under it;

45 Karrene, Skovlene og Skaalene. Alle disse Ting, som Hiram lavede for Kong Salomo til HERRENS Hus, var af blankt Kobber.

And the pots and the spades and the basins; all the vessels which Hiram made for King Solomon, for the house of the Lord, were of polished brass.

46 I Jordanegnen lod Kongen dem støbe, ved Adamas Vadested mellem Sukkot og Zaretan.

He made them of liquid metal in the lowland of Jordan, at the way across the river, at Adama, between Succoth and Zarethan.

47 Salomo lod alle Tingene uvejet paa Grund af deres saare store Mængde, Kobberet blev ikke vejet.

The weight of all these vessels was not measured, because there was such a number of them; it was not possible to get the weight of the brass.

48 Og Salomo lod alle Tingene, som hørte til HERRENS Hus, lave: Guldalteret, Guldbordet, som Skuebrødene laa paa,

And Solomon had all the vessels made for use in the house of the Lord: the altar of gold and the gold table on which the holy bread was placed;

49 Lysestagerne, fem til højre og fem til venstre, foran Inderhallen, af purt Guld, med Blomsterbægrene, Lamperne og Lysesaksene af Guld,

And the supports for the lights, five on the right side and five on the left before the inmost room, of clear gold; and the flowers and the lights and all the instruments of gold;

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.

And the cups and the scissors and the basins and the spoons and the fire-trays, all of gold; and the pins on which the doors were turned, the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and the doors of the Temple, all of gold.

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 King Solomon had done in the house of the Lord was complete. Then Solomon took the holy things which David his father had given, the silver and the gold and all the vessels, and put them in the store-houses of the house of the Lord.
