Første Kongebog 7
1 Paa sit Palads byggede Salomo i tretten Aar; saa fik han hele sit Palads færdigt.
Solomon took thirteen years to build his own 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 Palace of the Forest of Lebanon. Its length was one hundred cubits, its width was fifty cubits, and its height was thirty cubits. The palace was built with four rows of cedar pillars with cedar beams on the pillars.
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 that rested on beams. Those beams were supported by pillars. There were forty-five beams, fifteen in a row.
4 Der var tre Lag Bjælker, og Lysaabning sad over for Lysaabning tre Gange.
There were beams in three rows, and each window was opposite another window in three sets.
5 Alle Døre og Lysaabninger havde firkantede Bjælkerammer, og Lysaabning sad over for Lysaabning tre Gange.
All the doors and posts were made square with beams, and window was opposite window in three sets.
6 Fremdeles opførte han Søjlehallen, halvtredsindstyve Alen lang og tredive Alen bred, med en Hal, Søjler og Trappe foran.
There was a colonnade fifty cubits long and thirty cubits wide, with a portico in front and pillars and a roof.
7 Fremdeles opførte han Tronhallen, hvor han holdt Rettergang, Domhallen; den var dækket med Cedertræ fra Gulv til Loft,
Solomon built the hall of the throne where he was to judge, the hall of justice. It was covered with cedar from floor to floor.
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.
Solomon's house in which he was to live, in another courtyard within the palace grounds, was similarly designed. He also built a house like this for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken as a 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.
These buildings were adorned with costly hewn stones, precisely measured and cut with a saw and smoothed on all sides. These stones were used from the foundation to the stones on top, and also on the outside to the great court.
10 Grunden blev lagt med kostbare, store Sten, nogle paa ti, andre paa otte Alen.
The foundation was constructed with very large, costly stones of eight and ten cubits in length.
11 Ovenpaa lagdes kostbare Sten, tilhugget efter Maal, og Cederbjælker.
Above were costly hewn stones precisely 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 surrounding the palace had three rows of cut stone and a row of cedar beams like the courtyard of the temple of Yahweh and the temple portico.
13 Kong Salomo sendte Bud til Tyrus efter Hiram.
King Solomon sent for Huram and brought him 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.
Huram was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali; his father was a man of Tyre, a craftsman in bronze. Huram was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill to do great work with bronze. He came to King Solomon to work with bronze for the king.
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.
Huram fashioned the 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 made two capitals of polished bronze to set on the tops of the pillars. The height of each capital was five cubits.
17 Og han lavede to Fletværker, flettet Arbejde, Snore, kædeformet Arbejde, til at dække Søjlehovederne oven paa Søjlerne, et Fletværk til hvert Søjlehoved;
Checker latticework and wreaths of chain work for the capitals decorated the top of the pillars, 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.
So Huram made two rows of pomegranates around the top of each pillar to decorate their capitals.
19 Søjlehovederne paa de to Søjler var liljeformet Arbejde.
The capitals on the tops of the portico pillars were decorated with lilies, four cubits high.
20 Søjlehovederne sad paa de to Søjler ... .
The capitals on these two pillars also included, close to their very top, two hundred pomegranates in rows all around.
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 raised up the pillars at the temple portico. The pillar on the right was named Jakin, and the pillar on the left was named Boaz.
22 Øverst paa Søjlerne var der liljeformet Arbejde. Saaledes blev Arbejdet med Søjlerne færdigt.
On the top of the pillars were decorations like lilies. The fashioning of the pillars was done in this way.
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.
Huram made the round sea of cast metal, ten cubits from brim to brim. Its height was five cubits, and the sea was 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.
Under the brim encircling the sea were gourds, ten in each cubit, cast in one piece with “The Sea,” when that basin was cast.
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 looking toward the north, three looking toward the west, three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east. “The Sea” was set on top of them, and all their hindquarters were toward the inside.
26 Det var en Haandsbred tykt, og Randen var formet som Randen paa et Bæger, som en udsprungen Lilje. Det tog 2000 Bat.
The sea was as thick as the width of a hand, and its brim was forged like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. The sea held two thousand baths of water.
27 Fremdeles lavede han de ti Vognstel af Kobber; hvert Stel var fire Alen langt, fire Alen bredt og tre Alen højt.
Huram made the ten stands of bronze. Each stand was four cubits long and four cubits wide, and the height was three cubits.
28 Og Stellene var indrettet saa ledes: De havde Mellemstykker, og Mellemstykkerne sad mellem Rammestykkerne.
The work of the stands was like this. They had panels that stood between frames,
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 and on the frames were lions, oxen, and cherubim. Above and below the lions and oxen were wreaths of hammered 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.
Every stand had four bronze wheels and axles, and its four corners had supports beneath for the basin. The supports were cast with wreaths on the side of each 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 opening was round like a pedestal, a cubit and a half wide, and was within a crown that rose up a cubit. On the opening were engravings, and their panels 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 underneath the panels, and the axles of the wheels and their housings were in the stand. The height of a wheel was a cubit and a half.
33 Hjulene var indrettet som Vognhjul, og deres Akselholdere, Fælge, Eger og Nav var alle støbt.
The wheels were forged like chariot wheels. Their housings, rims, spokes, and hubs were all cast metal.
34 Der var en Bærearm paa hvert Stels fire Hjørner, og Bærearmene var i eet med Stellet;
There were four handles at the four corners of each stand, forged into the stand itself.
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.
In the top of the stands there was a round band half a cubit deep, and on the top of the stand its supports and panels were attached.
36 Paa Fladerne indgraverede han Keruber, Løver og Palmer, efter som der var Plads til, omgivet af Kranse.
On the surfaces of the supports and on the panels Huram engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees that covered the space available, and they were surrounded by wreaths.
37 Saaledes lavede han de ti Stel; de var alle støbt paa samme Maade, med samme Maal og af samme Form.
He made the ten stands in this manner. All of them were cast in the same molds, and they had one size, and the same 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.
Huram made ten basins of bronze. One basin could hold forty baths of water. Each basin was four cubits across and there was one basin on each of 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 made five stands on the south-facing side of the temple and five on the north-facing side of the temple. He set “The Sea” on the east corner, facing toward the south 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:
Huram made the basins and the shovels and the sprinkling bowls. Then he finished all the work that he did for King Solomon in the temple of Yahweh:
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 bowl-like capitals that were on top of the two pillars, and the two sets of decorative latticework to cover the two bowl like capitals that were on 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,
He made the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of decorative latticework (two rows of pomegranates for each set of latticework to cover the two bowl-like capitals that were on the pillars);
43 de ti Stel med de ti Bækkener paa,
the ten stands, and the ten basins on the stands.
44 Havet med de tolv Okser under,
He made the large basin called “The Sea” with its 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.
also the pots, shovels, basins, and all the other implements. Huram made them out of polished bronze, for King Solomon, for the temple of Yahweh.
46 I Jordanegnen lod Kongen dem støbe, ved Adamas Vadested mellem Sukkot og Zaretan.
The king had cast them in the plain of the Jordan, 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.
Solomon did not weigh all the utensils because there were too many to weigh, because the weight of the bronze could not be measured.
48 Og Salomo lod alle Tingene, som hørte til HERRENS Hus, lave: Guldalteret, Guldbordet, som Skuebrødene laa paa,
Solomon had made all the furnishings that were in the temple of Yahweh out of gold: the golden altar and the table on which the bread of the presence was to be placed;
49 Lysestagerne, fem til højre og fem til venstre, foran Inderhallen, af purt Guld, med Blomsterbægrene, Lamperne og Lysesaksene af Guld,
the lampstands, five on the right side and five on the left, in front of the inner room, were of pure gold, and the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs were 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.
Solomon also had made the cups, lamp trimmers, basins, spoons, and incense burners, all of which were made of pure gold; he had sockets of gold made for the doors of the inner room (which was the most holy place), and 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.
In this way, all the work that King Solomon directed for the house of Yahweh was finished. So Solomon brought in the things that were set apart by David, his father, and the silver, the gold, and the furnishings, and put them into the storerooms of the house of Yahweh.
