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.
And it came to pass, in the four hundred and eightieth year after the going forth of the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, of the reign of Solomon over Israel, that he built the house unto the Lord.
2 Templet, som Kong Salomo byggede HERREN, var tresindstyve Alen langt, tyve Alen bredt og tredive Alen højt.
And the house which king Solomon built unto the Lord, was sixty cubits in length, and twenty in breadth, and thirty cubits in height.
3 Forhallen foran Templets Hellige var tyve Alen lang, svarende til Templets Bredde, og ti Alen bred.
And the porch before the temple of the house, was twenty cubits in length, in front of the breadth of the house; and ten cubits in breadth at the east side of the house.
4 Han forsynede Templet med Gittervinduer i Bjælkerammer,
And he made for the house windows wide without and narrow within.
5 og op til Tempelmuren byggede han en Tilbygning rundt om Templets Mure, rundt om det Hellige og inderhallen, og indrettede Siderum rundt om.
And he built on the wall of the house a gallery round about, on the walls of the house round about, of the temple and of the most holy place: and he made side-chambers round about.
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 nethermost gallery was five cubits in breadth, and the middle was six cubits in breadth, and the third was seven cubits in breadth; for projections had he made to the house round about on the outside, so as to fasten nothing in the walls of the house.
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.
And the house, when it was in building, was built of entire stones as they had been prepared at the quarry: so that neither hammer, nor axe, nor any tool of iron was heard in the house, while it was in building.
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 door for the middle [gallery] sidechamber was in the right side of the house: and with winding stairs they went up into the middle chamber, and out of the middle into the third.
9 Således byggede han Templet færdigt, og han lagde Taget med Bjælker og Planker af Cedertræ.
So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with hollow tiles, and with boards of cedar.
10 Han byggede Tilbygningen rundt om hele Templet, hvert Stokværk fem Alen højt, og den blev forbundet med Templet med Cederbjælker.
And he built the gallery against all the house, [each] five cubits in height; and it was fastened on to the house with timber of cedar.
11 Da kom HERRENs Ord til Salomo således:
And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying,
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, -
This house which thou art building—if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them: then will I perform my word with thee, which I have spoken unto David thy father.
13 og tage Bolig blandt Israeliterne og ikke forlade mit Folk Israel."
And I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel, and I will not forsake my people Israel.
14 Således byggede Salomo Templet færdigt.
So did Solomon build the house, and finish it.
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.
And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar; from the floor of the house to where the walls touched the ceiling did he overlay it on the inside with wood; and he overlaid the floor of the house with boards of fir.
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.
And he built the twenty cubits on the lower side of the house with boards of cedar, from the floor to the battlements; and he built it within, for the debir, for the holy of holies.
17 Fyrretyve Alen målte det Hellige foran Inderhallen.
And the house, that is, the temple before it, was 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.
And the cedar on the house within was carved with colocynths and opening flowers; all was cedar, no stone was seen.
19 Han indrettede inderhallen inde i Templet for der at opstille HERRENs Pagts Ark.
And the debir in the house within did he prepare, to set therein the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
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
And the interior of the debir was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits was its height: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and he overlaid the altar with cedar-wood.
21 foran Inderhallen og overtrak det med Guld. Og Salomo overtrak Templet indvendig med fint Guld og trak for med Guldkæder.
And Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he barred by means of chains of gold the front of the debir; and he overlaid it 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.
And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until all the house was finished: also the whole altar that was before the debir did he overlay with gold.
23 I Inderhallen satte han to Keruber af vildt Oliventræ, ti Alen høje;
And within the debir he made two cherubims of oleaster-wood, each ten cubits high.
24 den ene Kerubs Vinger var hver fem Alen, der var ti Alen fra den ene Vingespids til den anden;
And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: [there were] ten cubits from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other.
25 ti Alen målte også den anden Kerub; begge keruber havde samme Mål og Skikkelse;
And the other cherub was also ten cubits: both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.
26 begge Keruber var ti Alen høje.
The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so that of the other cherub.
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.
And he set the cherubim within the innermost part of the house: and they spread forth the wings of the cherubim, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings toward the middle of the house touched one another.
28 Keruberne overtrak han med Guld.
And he overlaid the cherubim with gold.
29 Rundt på alle Vægge i Templet anbragte han udskåret Arbejde, Keruber, Palmer og Blomsterkranse, både i den inderste og den yderste Hal,
And on all the wall of the house round about he carved figures of cherubim and palm-trees and opening flowers, in the debir and in the temple.
30 og Templets Gulv overtrak han med Guld, både i den inderste og den yderste Hal.
And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold for the debir and for the temple.
31 Til Inderhallens Indgang lod han lave to Dørfløje af vildt Oliventræ; Overliggeren og Dørposterne dannede en Femkant.
And for the entrance of the debir he made doors of oleaster-wood: the lintel with the side-posts forming 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.
And also upon the two doors of oleaster-wood he carved figures of cherubim and palm-trees and opening flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread the gold, by beating, upon the cherubim, and upon the palm-trees.
33 Ligeledes lod han til indgangen til det Hellige lave Dørstolper af vildt Oliventræ, firkantede Dørstolper,
So also made he for the entrance of the temple door-posts of oleaster-wood in shape of a square;
34 og to Dørfløje af Cyprestræ, således at hver af de to Dørfløje bestod af to bevægelige Dørflader;
And two doors of fir-wood: the one door having two leaves which were folding, and the other door having two leaves which were folding.
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.
And he carved thereon cherubim, and palm-trees and opening flowers: and he overlaid them with gold fitting upon the carved work.
36 Ligeledes indrettede han den indre Forgård ved at bygge tre Lag Kvadersten og et Lag Cederbjælker.
And he built the inner court of three rows of hewn stone, and one row of cedar beams.
37 I det fjerde År lagdes Grunden til HERRENs Hus i Ziv Måned;
In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the Lord laid, in the month 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.
And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all its parts, and according to all its requirements. So was he building it seven years.
