Første Kongebog 6
1 480 År efter at Israeliterne var vandret ud af Ægypten, i Ziv Måned, det er den anden Måned, i det fjerde År Salomo herskede i Israel, begyndte han at bygge HERREN Templet.
Four hundred and eighty years after the Israelites left Egypt, in the fourth year of King Solomon's reign, in the month of Ziv, Solomon began building the Temple of the Lord.
2 Templet, som Kong Salomo byggede HERREN, var tresindstyve Alen langt, tyve Alen bredt og tredive Alen højt.
The Temple King Solomon built for the Lord measured sixty cubits long by twenty cubits wide by thirty cubits high.
3 Forhallen foran Templets Hellige var tyve Alen lang, svarende til Templets Bredde, og ti Alen bred.
The entrance room at the front of the Temple was twenty cubits wide. It ran the whole width of the Temple and projected out ten cubits in front of the Temple.
4 Han forsynede Templet med Gittervinduer i Bjælkerammer,
He had latticed windows made to be placed high up in the Temple.
5 og op til Tempelmuren byggede han en Tilbygning rundt om Templets Mure, rundt om det Hellige og inderhallen, og indrettede Siderum rundt om.
He also had a structure built against the outer wall of the Temple, both the outer and the inner sanctuary, to provide a series of side rooms.
6 Det nederste Rum var fem Alen bredt, det mellemste seks og det tredje syv, thi han byggede Fremspring i Templets Ydermur rundt om, for at man ikke skulde være nødt til at lade Bjælkerne gribe ind i Templets Mure.
The ground floor measured five cubits wide, the first floor six cubits, and the second floor seven cubits. In addition he had offset ledges placed all the way around the outside, so that beams would not have to be inserted into the Temple walls.
7 Ved Templets Opførelsebyggede man med Sten, der var gjort færdige i Stenbrudet, derfor hørtes hverken Lyd af Hamre, Mejsler eller andet Jernværktøj, medens Templet byggedes.
When the Temple was built the stones were finished at the quarry so that no noise from any hammer, ax, or any iron tool was heard in the Temple during construction.
8 Indgangen til det nederste Rum var på Templets Sydside, og derfra førte Vindeltrapper op til det mellemste og derfra igen op til det tredje Rum.
The entrance to the ground floor was on the south side of the Temple. Stairs led to the first floor, and then on to the second floor.
9 Således byggede han Templet færdigt, og han lagde Taget med Bjælker og Planker af Cedertræ.
So Solomon finished building the Temple, covering it with a roof made of cedar rafters and planks.
10 Han byggede Tilbygningen rundt om hele Templet, hvert Stokværk fem Alen højt, og den blev forbundet med Templet med Cederbjælker.
He built the external structure along the whole of the Temple. It was five cubits high, joined to the Temple with cedar joists.
11 Da kom HERRENs Ord til Salomo således:
The Lord sent this message to Solomon, telling him,
12 "Dette Hus, som du er ved at bygge - dersom du vandrer efter mine Anordninger og gør efter mine Lovbud og omhyggeligt vandrer efter alle mine Bud, vil jeg på dig stadfæste det Ord, jeg talede til din Fader David, -
“About this Temple you are building: if you follow what I have said, fulfilling my requirements and keeping my commandments in what you do, I will keep the promise I made to your father David through you.
13 og tage Bolig blandt Israeliterne og ikke forlade mit Folk Israel."
I will live among the Israelites and will not abandon Israel, my people.”
14 Således byggede Salomo Templet færdigt.
Solomon finished building the Temple.
15 Templets Vægge dækkede han indvendig med Cederbrædder; fra Bygningens Gulv til Loftsbjælkerne dækkede han dem indvendig med Træ; og over Templets Gulv lagde han Cypresbrædder.
He lined the walls with cedar panels from floor to ceiling and he covered the floor of the Temple with cypress boards.
16 Han dækkede de tyve bageste Alen af Templet med Cederbrædder fra Gulv til Bjælker og indrettede sig Rummet derinde til en Inderhal, det Allerhelligste.
He sectioned off twenty cubits at the rear of the Temple with boards of cedar from floor to ceiling, making an inner sanctuary as the Most Holy Place.
17 Fyrretyve Alen målte det Hellige foran Inderhallen.
The main Temple in front of this room measured forty cubits long.
18 Templet var indvendig dækket med Cedertræ, udskåret Arbejde i Form af Agurker og Blomsterkranse; alt var af Cedertræ, ikke en Sten var at se.
The cedar panels inside the Temple were decorated with carvings of gourds and open flowers. Everything was lined with cedar—none of the stone was visible.
19 Han indrettede inderhallen inde i Templet for der at opstille HERRENs Pagts Ark.
He also had the inner sanctuary made within the Temple where the Ark of the Lord's Agreement would be placed.
20 Inderhallen var tyve Alen lang, tyve Alen bred og tyve Alen høj, og han overtrak den med fint Guld. Fremdeles lavede han et Alter af Cedertræ
The inner sanctuary measured twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and twenty cubits high. He had the interior covered with a coating with pure gold, as well as the altar of cedar.
21 foran Inderhallen og overtrak det med Guld. Og Salomo overtrak Templet indvendig med fint Guld og trak for med Guldkæder.
Solomon had the whole of the inside of the Temple covered with pure gold, He had gold chains stretched across the front of the inner sanctuary, which was also covered with gold.
22 Hele Templet overtrak han med Guld, hele Templet fra den ene Ende til den anden; også hele Alteret foran inderhallen overtrak han med Guld.
He covered the whole inside of the Temple with a coating of gold until it was all finished. He also covered with gold the entire altar for the inner sanctuary.
23 I Inderhallen satte han to Keruber af vildt Oliventræ, ti Alen høje;
He had two cherubim made out of olive wood for the inner sanctuary, each one ten cubits tall.
24 den ene Kerubs Vinger var hver fem Alen, der var ti Alen fra den ene Vingespids til den anden;
Both wings of the cherub measured five cubits, making a total wingspan of ten cubits.
25 ti Alen målte også den anden Kerub; begge keruber havde samme Mål og Skikkelse;
The other cherub was also ten cubits tall, since they were identical both in size and shape.
26 begge Keruber var ti Alen høje.
Both cherubs were ten cubits tall.
27 Og han opstillede Keruberne midt i den inderste Del af Templet, og de udbredte deres Vinger således, at den enes ene Vinge rørte den ene Væg og den andens ene Vinge den modsatte Væg, medens de to andre Vinger rørte hinanden midt i Templet.
He had the cherubim placed inside the inner sanctuary of the Temple. Since their wings were fully spread, a wing of the first cherub touched one wall, a wing of the second cherub touched the other wall, and in the middle of the Temple their wings touched.
28 Keruberne overtrak han med Guld.
The cherubim were also covered with a gold coating.
29 Rundt på alle Vægge i Templet anbragte han udskåret Arbejde, Keruber, Palmer og Blomsterkranse, både i den inderste og den yderste Hal,
He had all the Temple walls, both the inner and outer sanctuaries, carved with designs of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers.
30 og Templets Gulv overtrak han med Guld, både i den inderste og den yderste Hal.
He also had the floor of the Temple floor covered with gold, both the inner and outer sanctuaries.
31 Til Inderhallens Indgang lod han lave to Dørfløje af vildt Oliventræ; Overliggeren og Dørposterne dannede en Femkant.
He had doors of olive wood made for the entrance to the inner sanctuary, together with a lintel and doorposts that had five sides.
32 Og på de to Oliventræsfløje lod han udskære Keruber, Palmer og Blomsterkranse og overtrak dem med Guld, idet han lod Guldet trykke ned i de udskårne Keruber og Palmer.
These olive wood double doors had carved into them designs of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers. The cherubim and palm trees carvings were covered with beaten gold.
33 Ligeledes lod han til indgangen til det Hellige lave Dørstolper af vildt Oliventræ, firkantede Dørstolper,
Similarly he had four-sided doorposts of olive wood made for the entrance to the sanctuary.
34 og to Dørfløje af Cyprestræ, således at hver af de to Dørfløje bestod af to bevægelige Dørflader;
Its doors were made of cypress wood, each with two hinged panels.
35 og han lod udskære Keruber, Palmer og Blomsterkranse i dem og overtrak dem med Guld, der lå i et tyndt Lag over de udskårne Figurer.
He had them carved with designs of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and covered them with gold beaten evenly over the carvings.
36 Ligeledes indrettede han den indre Forgård ved at bygge tre Lag Kvadersten og et Lag Cederbjælker.
Solomon had the inner courtyard built with three courses of dressed stone and one of cedar beams.
37 I det fjerde År lagdes Grunden til HERRENs Hus i Ziv Måned;
The foundation of the Lord's Temple was laid in the fourth year of Solomon's reign, in the month of Ziv.
38 og i det ellevte År i Bul Måned, det er den ottende Måned, fuldførtes Templet i alle dets Dele og Stykker; han byggede på det i syv År.
The Temple was finished exactly as specified and planned in Solomon's eleventh year, in the eighth month, the month of Bul. So it took him seven years to build the Temple.
