Anden Krønikebog 3
1 Derpaa tog Salomo fat paa at bygge HERRENS Hus i Jerusalem paa Morija Bjerg, hvor HERREN havde ladet sig til Syne for hans Fader David, paa det Sted, David havde beredt, paa Jebusiten Ornans Tærskeplads.
Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where [the Lord] appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 Han tog fat paa Byggearbejdet i den anden Maaned i sit fjerde Regeringsaar.
And he began to build in the second [day] of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
3 Maalene paa Grunden, som Salomo lagde ved Opførelsen af Guds Hus, var følgende: Længden var tresindstyve Alen efter gammelt Maal, Bredden tyve.
Now these [are the things wherein] Solomon was instructed for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure [was] threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.
4 Forhallen foran Templets Hellige var tyve Alen lang, svarende til Templets Bredde, og tyve Alen høj; og han overtrak den indvendig med purt Guld.
And the porch that [was] in the front [of the house], the length [of it was] according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the height [was] an hundred and twenty: and he overlaid it within with pure gold.
5 Den store Hal dækkede han med Cyprestræ og overtrak den desuden med ægte Guld og prydede den med Palmer og Kranse.
And the greater house he cieled with fir tree, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set thereon palm trees and chains.
6 Han smykkede Hallen med Ædelsten; og Guldet var Parvajimguld;
And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold [was] gold of Parvaim.
7 han overtrak Templet, Bjælkerne, Dørtærsklerne, Væggene og Dørfløjene med Guld og lod indgravere Keruber paa Væggene.
He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved cherubims on the walls.
8 Han byggede fremdeles det Allerhelligste; dets Længde paa tværs af Templet var tyve Alen, dets Bredde tyve; og han overtrak det med ægte Guld til en Vægt af 600 Talenter.
And he made the most holy house, the length whereof [was] according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with fine gold, [amounting] to six hundred talents.
9 Naglerne havde en Vægt af halvtredsindstyve Guldsekel; og Rummene paa Taget overtrak han med Guld.

10 I det Allerhelligste satte han to Keruber i Billedskærerarbejde, og han overtrak dem med Guld.
And in the most holy house he made two cherubims of image work, and overlaid them with gold.
11 Kerubernes Vinger maalte tilsammen tyve Alen i Længden; den enes ene Vinge, fem Alen lang, rørte Hallens ene Væg, medens den anden, fem Alen lang, rørte den andens Vinge;
And the wings of the cherubims [were] twenty cubits long: one wing [of the one cherub was] five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing [was likewise] five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.
12 og den anden Kerubs ene Vinge, fem Alen lang, rørte Hallens modsatte Væg, medens den anden, fem Alen lang, naaede til den første Kerubs Vinge.
And [one] wing of the other cherub [was] five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing [was] five cubits [also], joining to the wing of the other cherub.
13 Disse Kerubers Vinger maalte i deres fulde Udstrækning tyve Alen og de stod oprejst med Ansigtet indad.
The wings of these cherubims spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces [were] inward.
14 Tillige lavede han Forhænget af violet og rødt Purpur, karmoisinfarvet Stof og fint Linned og prydede det med Keruber.
And he made the vail [of] blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubims thereon.
15 Foran Templet lavede han to Søjler. De var fem og tredive Alen høje, og Søjlehovedet oven paa dem var fem Alen.
Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits high, and the chapiter that [was] on the top of each of them [was] five cubits.
16 Saa lavede han Kranse som en Halskæde og anbragte dem øverst paa Søjlerne, og fremdeles lavede han 100 Granatæbler og satte dem paa Kransene.
And he made chains, [as] in the oracle, and put [them] on the heads of the pillars; and made an hundred pomegranates, and put [them] on the chains.
17 Disse Søjler rejste han foran Helligdommen, en til højre og en til venstre: den højre kaldte han Jakin, den venstre Boaz.
And he reared up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.
