Anden Krønikebog 4
1 Fremdeles lavede han et Kobberalter, tyve Alen bredt og ti Alen højt.
Solomon’s workers made a square bronze altar that was 10 yards wide on each side, and it was 5 yards 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.
They also made a very large round tank that was made of metal and cast [in a clay mold]. It was 10 yards wide/across, and 5 yards high. It was 15 yards around it.
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.
Below the outer rim there were two rows of [small figures of] bulls that were part of the metal of the basin. Each row had 300 figures of bulls.
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.
The basin was set on twelve [statues of] bulls. There were three statues that faced north, three that faced west, three that faced south, and three that faced east.
5 Det var en Haandsbred tykt, og Randen var formet som Randen paa et Bæger, som en udsprungen Lilje. Det tog 3000 Bat.
The sides of the tank were 3 inches thick, and its rim was shaped like a cup that curved outward like the petals of flowers. The basin held about 16,500 gallons [of water].
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.
They also made ten basins for washing the [animals that were] to be sacrificed. The priests used the very large tank for washing themselves.
7 Fremdeles lavede han de ti Guldlysestager, som de skulde være, og satte dem i Helligdommen, fem til højre og fem til venstre.
They also made ten gold lampstands according to what Solomon had instructed them. They put them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north side.
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.
They made ten tables and put them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north side. They also made 100 gold bowls.
9 Fremdeles indrettede han Præsternes Forgaard og den store Gaard og Porte til Gaarden; Portfløjene overtrak han med Kobber.
They also constructed one courtyard for the priests, and a larger courtyard [for the other people]. They made doors for the courtyards and covered them with [thin sheets of] bronze.
10 Havet opstillede han ved Templets Sydside, ved det sydøstre Hjørne.
They placed the very large tank [on the south side of the temple, ] at the southeast corner.
11 Fremdeles lavede Huram Karrene, Skovlene og Skaalene. Dermed var Huram færdig med sit Arbejde for Kong Salomo ved Guds Hus:
They also made pots and shovels [for the ashes of the altar], and other small bowls. So Huram [and his workers] finished the work that King Solomon had given him to do at the temple of God.
12 De to Søjler og de to kugleformede Søjlehoveder ovenpaa, de to Fletværker til at dække de to, kugleformede Søjlehoveder paa Søjlerne,
[These were the things that they made: ] the two large pillars, the two bowl-shaped top parts on top of the pillars, the two sets of carvings that resembled chains to decorate the tops of the two pillars,
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,
the 400 carvings that resembled pomegranates that were placed in two rows, that decorated the bowl-shaped tops of the two pillars,
14 de ti Stel med de ti Bækkener paa,
the stands, and the basins that were placed on them,
15 Havet med de tolv Okser under.
the very large tank, and the [statues of] twelve bulls underneath it,
16 Karrene, Skovlene og Skaalene og alle de Ting, som hørte til, lavede Huram-Abi af blankt Kobber for Kong Salomo til HERRENS Hus.
the pots, shovels, meat forks, and all the other things [needed for the work at the altar]. All those things that Huram [and his workers] made for King Solomon were made of polished bronze.
17 I Jordandalen lod Kongen dem støbe, ved Adamas Vadested mellem Sukkot og Zereda.
They made them by pouring melted bronze into the clay molds that Huram had set up near the Jordan [river] between Succoth and Zarethan [cities].
18 Salomo lod alle disse Ting lave i stor Mængde, thi Kobberet blev ikke vejet.
All of those things that Solomon [told them to] make used a very large amount of bronze; no one tried to weigh it all.
19 Og Salomo lod alle Tingene, som hørte til Guds Hus, lave: Guldalteret, Bordene, som Skuebrødene laa paa,
Solomon’s workers also made all these things that were put at the temple: the golden altar, the tables on which the priests put the sacred bread,
20 Lysestagerne med Lamperne, der skulde tændes paa den foreskrevne Maade, foran Inderhallen, af purt Guld,
the pure gold lampstands and the pure gold lamps, [in which the priests put oil] to burn in front of the Most Holy Place as God had told [Moses that the priests should do],
21 med Blomsterbægrene, Lamperne og Lysesaksene af Guld, ja af det allerbedste Guld,
the pure gold decorations that resembled flowers, and the lamps and tongs,
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 pure gold wick trimmers and bowls for sprinkling, and dishes and lamp snuffers, the gold doors of the temple and the doors to the main hall.
