Første Kongebog 7

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

But, his own house, was Solomon thirteen years in building, —so he finished all his house.

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

Yea he built the house of the forest of Lebanon, a hundred cubits, the length thereof, and, fifty cubits, the breadth thereof, and, thirty cubits, the height thereof, —upon four rows of pillars of cedar, with beams of cedar, upon 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 above upon the joists, that were on forty-five pillars, —fifteen in a row.

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

And there were, window spaces, in three rows, —and light over against light, three times.

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

And, all the openings and the posts, were square in their frame, —and light was over against light, three times.

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

And, a porch of pillars, made he, fifty cubits, in length, and, thirty cubits, in breadth, —and, a porch, was on the one front of them, and pillars and threshold, were on the other front of them.

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

And, a porch for the throne, where he should judge, even the porch of judgment, made he, and it was wainscotted 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, his own house where he should dwell, in the other court within the porch, was, of like workmanship unto this, —a house also, made he, for the daughter of Pharaoh, whom Solomon had taken [to wife], in a similar porch.

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, were of costly stones, after the dimensions of hewn stones, sawn with saws, within and without, —even from the foundation, unto the coping, and without as far as the great court.

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

And, the foundation, was of costly stones, large stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.

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

And, above, were costly stones, after the dimensions of hewn stone, and cedar.

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.

And, the great court round about, was of three rows of hewn stone, and a row of beams of cedar, —both to the inner court of the house of Yahweh, and to the porch of the house.

13 Kong Salomo sendte Bud til Tyrus efter Hiram.

And King Solomon sent and fetched Hiram, out of 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.

son of a widow woman, was he of the tribe of Naphtali, but, his father, was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze, and he was filled with wisdom, and discernment, and knowledge, for executing all manner of work in bronze, —so he came unto King Solomon, and executed 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.

And he cast two pillars of bronze, —eighteen cubits, the height of each pillar, and, a line of twelve cubits, would surround the second pillar.

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

And, two capitals, made he, to set upon the tops of the pillars, of molten bronze, —five cubits, was the height of the one capital, and, five cubits, the height of the other capital;

17 Og han lavede to Fletværker, flettet Arbejde, Snore, kædeformet Arbejde, til at dække Søjlehovederne oven paa Søjlerne, et Fletværk til hvert Søjlehoved;

with a frame of checker work, wreaths of chain work, for the capitals which were upon the top of the pillars, —seven for the one capital, and seven for the other 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.

So he made the pillars, —and, two rows round about, upon the one frame of checker work, covering the capitals which were upon the top with pomegranates, thus also, did he for the other capital.

19 Søjlehovederne paa de to Søjler var liljeformet Arbejde.

And, the capitals which were upon the top of the pillars, were of lily work, in span, four cubits.

20 Søjlehovederne sad paa de to Søjler ... .

And there were capitals upon the two pillars, above also, close by the belly, which was beside the checker work, —and there were two hundred pomegranates, in rows round about, upon either 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.

So he reared the pillars for the porch of the temple, —yea he reared the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin, and reared the left pillar, and called the name thereof, Boaz.

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

And, upon the top of the pillars, was lily work, —which gave finish to the work of the pillars.

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 molten sea, —ten cubits from the one brim to the other, it was round all about, and, five cubits, was the height thereof, and, a line of thirty cubits, would encompass it round about.

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, colocynths, were under the brim thereof round about, encompassing it, ten in a cubit, encircling the sea, round about, —two rows of colocynths, made in the casting thereof:

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.

standing upon twelve oxen, three looking northward, and three looking westward, and three looking southward, and three looking eastward, the sea, being upon them above, —all their hinder parts, being, inward.

26 Det var en Haandsbred tykt, og Randen var formet som Randen paa et Bæger, som en udsprungen Lilje. Det tog 2000 Bat.

And, the thickness thereof, was a hand breadth, and, the brim thereof, was like the brim-work of a cup, of lily-blossoms, —two thousand baths, did it contain.

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 stands of bronze, —four cubits, the length of each stand, and, four cubits, the breadth thereof, and, three cubits, the height thereof.

28 Og Stellene var indrettet saa ledes: De havde Mellemstykker, og Mellemstykkerne sad mellem Rammestykkerne.

And, this, was the work of the stand, there were, side walls, to them, —and, the side-walls, were between joining ledges;

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, upon the side-walls which were between the ledges, were lions, oxen, and cherubim, and, upon the ledges, was a pedestal above, and, beneath the lions and oxen, a wreath of hanging 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.

And, four wheels of bronze, had each stand, with axles of bronze, and, the four steps thereof, had shoulder pieces, —under the laver, were the molten shoulder-pieces, over against each wreath.

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.

And, the mouth thereof, within the capital and upwards, was a cubit, and, the mouth thereof, was round, of pedestal work, a cubit and a half, —moreover also, upon the mouth thereof, were gravings, with their side-walls four-square, not round.

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

And, four wheels, were beneath the side-walls, the axletrees of the wheels, being in the stands, —and, the height of each wheel, was a cubit and a half:

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

and, the work of the wheels, was like the work of a chariot-wheel; and, their axletrees, and their felloes, and their spokes, and their naves, the whole, were molten.

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

And there were, four shoulder-pieces, at the four corners of each stand, of the stand itself, were the shoulder-pieces thereof.

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, in the top of the stand, half a cubit in height, was a circular piece round about, —and, on the top of the stand, the tenons thereof, and, the side-walls thereof, were of the same.

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

Then carved he, upon the plates of the tenons thereof, and upon the side-walls thereof, cherubim, lions, and palm-trees, —according to the open space of each with a wreath round about.

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

Thus, made he the ten stands, —one mould, one measure, one shape, had they, all.

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.

Then made he ten lavers of bronze, —forty baths, would each laver contain, four cubits, was each laver, one laver, was on 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.

And he set the stands, five on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house, —but, the sea, he set on the right side of the house eastward, over against the 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 lavers, and shovels, and bowls, —and Hiram ended the doing of all the work which he wrought for King Solomon, for the house of Yahweh:

41 De to Søjler, og de to kugleformede Søjlehoveder ovenpaa, de to Fletværker til at dække de to kugleformede Søjlehoveder paa Søjlerne,

two pillars, —and the bowls of the capitals which were upon the top of the two pillars, —and the two frames of checker-work, covering the two bowls of the capitals, which were upon the top 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 pomegranates, for the two frames of checker-work, —two rows of pomegranates to each frame, for covering the two bowls of the capitals, which were on the face of the pillars;

43 de ti Stel med de ti Bækkener paa,

and the ten stands, —with the ten lavers upon the stands;

44 Havet med de tolv Okser under,

and the one sea, —with the twelve oxen under 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 pans, and the shovels, and the tossing bowls, and, all these vessels which Hiram made King Solomon, for the house of Yahweh, were of burnished bronze.

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

In the circuit of the Jordan, did the king cast them, in the clay ground, —between Succoth and Zarethan.

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

And Solomon let all the vessels be, because of their exceeding great multitude, —the weight of the bronze was not found out.

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

And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of Yahweh, —the altar of gold, and the table of gold, whereon was the presence-bread;

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

and the lamp-holders—five on the right and five on the left, before the shrine, of pure gold, —with the blossoms, and the lamps, and the tongs, 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 bowls, and the snuffers, and the tossing bowls, and the spoons, and the censers, of pure gold, —and the hinge-holes, for the doors of the inner house, the holy of holies, and for the doors of the house itself, the temple, 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 was completed all the work which King Solomon made for the house of Yahweh, and Solomon brought in the hallowed things of David his father—the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, did he put in the treasuries of the house of Yahweh.
