Anden Krønikebog 4
1 Fremdeles lavede han et Kobberalter, tyve Alen bredt og ti Alen højt.
He made also an altar of brass twenty cubits long, and twenty cubits broad, and ten cubits high.
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.
Also a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass: it was five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits compassed it round about.
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.
And under it there was the likeness of oxen, and certain engravings on the outside of ten cubits compassed the belly of the sea, as it were with two rows.
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 oxen were cast: and the sea itself was set upon the twelve oxen, three of which looked toward the north, and other three toward the west: and other three toward the south, and the other three that remained toward the east, and the sea stood upon them: and the hinder parts of the oxen were inward 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 the thickness of it was a handbreadth, and the brim of it was like the brim of a cup, or of a crisped 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.
He made also ten lavers: and he see five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them all such things as they mere to offer for holocausts: but the sea was for the priests to wash in.
7 Fremdeles lavede han de ti Guldlysestager, som de skulde være, og satte dem i Helligdommen, fem til højre og fem til venstre.
And he made ten golden candlesticks, according to the form which they were commanded to be made by: and he set them in the temple, five on the right hand, 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 also ten tables: and he set them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. Also a hundred bowls of gold.
9 Fremdeles indrettede han Præsternes Forgaard og den store Gaard og Porte til Gaarden; Portfløjene overtrak han med Kobber.
He made also 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.
And he set the sea on the right side over against 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:
And Hiram made caldrons, and fleshhooks, and bowls: and finished all the king’s work 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 to say, the two pillars, and the pommels, and the chapiters, and the network, to cover the chapiters over the pommels.
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 four hundred pomegranates, and two wreaths of network, so that two rows of pomegranates were joined to each wreath, to cover the pommels, and the chapiters of the pillars.
14 de ti Stel med de ti Bækkener paa,
He made also bases, and lavers, which he set 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 the caldrons, and fleshhooks, and bowls. All the vessels did Hiram his father make for Solomon in the house of the Lord of the finest brass.
17 I Jordandalen lod Kongen dem støbe, ved Adamas Vadested mellem Sukkot og Zereda.
In the country near the Jordan did the king cast them, in a clay ground between Sochot and Saredatha.
18 Salomo lod alle disse Ting lave i stor Mængde, thi Kobberet blev ikke vejet.
And the multitude of vessels was innumerable, so that the weight of the brass was not known.
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 golden altar, and the tables, upon which were the leaves of proposition,
20 Lysestagerne med Lamperne, der skulde tændes paa den foreskrevne Maade, foran Inderhallen, af purt Guld,
The candlesticks also of most pure gold with their lamps to give light before the oracle, according to the manner.
21 med Blomsterbægrene, Lamperne og Lysesaksene af Guld, ja af det allerbedste Guld,
And certain flowers, and lamps, and golden tongs: all were made of the finest 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.
The vessels also for the perfumes, and the censers, and the bowls, and the mortars, of pure gold. And he graved the doors of the inner temple, that is, for the holy of holies: and the doors of the temple without were of gold. And thus all the work was finished which Solomon made in the house of the Lord.
