Anden Krønikebog 4
1 Fremdeles lavede han et Kobberalter, tyve Alen bredt og ti Alen højt.
Also, he made a brass altar of twenty cubits in length, and of twenty cubits in width, and of ten cubits in height,
2 Fremdeles lavede han Havet i støbt Arbejde, ti Alen fra Rand til Rand, helt rundt, fem Alen højt; det maalte tredive Alen i Omkreds.
as well as a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in its circumference. It had five cubits in height, and a line of thirty cubits went around it on all sides.
3 Under Randen var det hele Vejen rundt omgivet af agurklignende Prydelser, der omsluttede Havet helt rundt, tredive Alen; i to Rækker sad de agurklignende Prydelser, støbt i eet dermed.
Also, under it there was the likeness of oxen. And certain engravings encircled the cavity of the sea, along ten cubits of the outside, as if in two rows. Now the oxen were molten.
4 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.
And the sea itself was placed upon the twelve oxen, three of which were looking toward the north, and another three toward the west, then another three toward the south, and the three that remained toward the east, having the sea imposed upon them. But the posteriors of the oxen were toward the interior, under the sea.
5 Det var en Haandsbred tykt, og Randen var formet som Randen paa et Bæger, som en udsprungen Lilje. Det tog 3000 Bat.
Now its thickness had the measure of the palm of a hand, and its brim was like the lip of a cup, or like the outturned petal of a lily. And it held three thousand measures.
6 Fremdeles lavede han ti Bækkener og satte fem til højre og fem til venstre, til Tvætning; i dem skyllede man, hvad der brugtes ved Brændofrene, medens Præsterne brugte Havet til at tvætte sig i.
Also, he made ten basins. And he placed five on the right, and five on the left, so that they might wash in them all the things that they were to offer as holocausts. But the priests were to be washed in the sea.
7 Fremdeles lavede han de ti Guldlysestager, som de skulde være, og satte dem i Helligdommen, fem til højre og fem til venstre.
Then he also made ten gold lampstands, according to the form by which they had been ordered to be made. And he set them in the temple, five on the right, and five on the left.
8 Fremdeles lavede han ti Borde og satte dem i Helligdommen, fem til højre og fem til venstre; tillige lavede han 100 Skaale af Guld.
Moreover, there were also ten tables. And he placed them in the temple, five on the right, and five on the left. Also, there were one hundred gold bowls.
9 Fremdeles indrettede han Præsternes Forgaard og den store Gaard og Porte til Gaarden; Portfløjene overtrak han med Kobber.
Then too, he made the court of the priests, and a great hall, and doors in the hall, which he covered with brass.
10 Havet opstillede han ved Templets Sydside, ved det sydøstre Hjørne.
Now he placed the sea on the right side, facing the east, toward the south.
11 Fremdeles lavede Huram Karrene, Skovlene og Skaalene. Dermed var Huram færdig med sit Arbejde for Kong Salomo ved Guds Hus:
Then Hiram made cooking pots and hooks and bowls. And he completed every work of the king in the house of God,
12 De to Søjler og de to kugleformede Søjlehoveder ovenpaa, de to Fletværker til at dække de to, kugleformede Søjlehoveder paa Søjlerne,
that is, the two pillars, and the crossbeams, and the heads, and something like a little net, which would cover the heads above the crossbeams,
13 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 also four hundred pomegranates, and two little nets, so that two rows of pomegranates were joined to each net, which would cover the crossbeams and the heads of the pillars.
14 de ti Stel med de ti Bækkener paa,
He also made bases; and basins that he placed upon the bases;
15 Havet med de tolv Okser under.
one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;
16 Karrene, Skovlene og Skaalene og alle de Ting, som hørte til, lavede Huram-Abi af blankt Kobber for Kong Salomo til HERRENS Hus.
and cooking pots and hooks and bowls. Hiram, his father, made all the vessels for Solomon, in the house of the Lord, from the purest brass.
17 I Jordandalen lod Kongen dem støbe, ved Adamas Vadested mellem Sukkot og Zereda.
The king cast these in the region near the Jordan, in the clay soil between Succoth and Zeredah.
18 Salomo lod alle disse Ting lave i stor Mængde, thi Kobberet blev ikke vejet.
Now the multitude of the vessels was innumerable, so much so that the weight of the brass was unknown.
19 Og Salomo lod alle Tingene, som hørte til Guds Hus, lave: Guldalteret, Bordene, som Skuebrødene laa paa,
And Solomon made all the vessels for the house of God, and the gold altar, and the tables upon which were the bread of the presence;
20 Lysestagerne med Lamperne, der skulde tændes paa den foreskrevne Maade, foran Inderhallen, af purt Guld,
and also, of the purest gold, the lampstands with their lamps, to shine before the oracle, according to the rite;
21 med Blomsterbægrene, Lamperne og Lysesaksene af Guld, ja af det allerbedste Guld,
and certain flowers, and lamps, and gold tongs. All these were made from the purest gold.
22 Knivene, Skaalene, Kanderne og Panderne af fint Guld og Dørhængslerne til Templet, til Inderdørene for det Allerhelligste og til Dørene for det Hellige, af Guld.
Also, the vessels for the perfumes, and the censers, and the bowls, and the little mortars were from the purest gold. And he engraved the doors of the inner temple, that is, for the Holy of Holies. And the doors of the outer temple were of gold. And so, every work was completed that Solomon made in the house of the Lord.
