Første Kongebog 7

1 På sit Palads byggede Salomo i tretten År; så fik han hele sit Palads færdigt.

And Solomon was thirteen years building his own house; and he finished all his house.

2 Han byggede Libanonskovhuset, hundrede Alen langt, halvtredsindstyve Alen bredt og tredive Alen højt, hvilende på tre Rækker Cedersøjler med Skråstøtter af Cedertræ.

And he built the house of the forest of Lebanon; its length was a hundred cubits, and its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar-pillars, with cedar-beams upon the pillars;

3 Det var oven over Rummene tækket med Cederbjælker, der hvilede på fem og fyrretyve Søjler, femten i hver Række.

and it was covered with cedar above upon the side-chambers, which were on forty-five pillars, fifteen in a row.

4 Der var tre Lag Bjælker, og Lysåbning sad over for Lysåbning tre Gange.

And there were cross-beams in three rows, and window was against window in three ranks.

5 Alle Døre og Lysåbninger havde firkantede Bjælkerammer, og Lysåbning sad over for Lysåbning tre Gange.

And all the doors and posts were square, with an architrave; and window was against window in three ranks.

6 Fremdeles opførte han Søjlehallen, halvtredsindstyve Alen lang og tredive Alen bred, med en Hal, Søjler og Trappe foran.

And he made the porch of pillars; its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth thirty cubits; and there was a porch in front of them; and there were pillars, and steps in front of them.

7 Fremdeles opførte han Tronhallen, hvor han holdt Rettergang, Domhallen; den var dækket med Cedertræ fra Gulv til Loft,

And he made the porch for the throne where he judged, the porch of judgment; and it was covered with cedar from floor to floor.

8 Hans eget Hus, det, han boede i, i den anden Forgård inden for Hallen, var bygget på samme Måde. Og til Faraos Datter, som Salomo havde ægtet, opførte han et Hus i Lighed med denne Hal.

And his house where he dwelt had another court within the porch, which was of the like work. And he made, like to this porch, a house for Pharaoh's daughter, whom Solomon had taken.

9 Det hele var af kostbare Sten, tilhugget efter Mål, tilsavet både indvendig og udvendig, lige fra Grunden til Murkanten, hvilket også gjaldt den store Forgård uden om Templets Forgård.

All these [buildings] were of costly stones, hewn stones, according to the measures, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation to the coping, and on the outside as far as the great court.

10 Grunden blev lagt med kostbare, store Sten, nogle på ti, andre på otte Alen.

And the foundations were of costly stones, great stones, stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits.

11 Ovenpå lagdes kostbare Sten, tilhugget efter Mål, og Cederbjælker.

And above were costly stones, hewn stones, according to the measures, and cedar.

12 Den store Forgård var hele Vejen rundt omgivet af tre Lag tilhugne Sten og et Lag Cederbjælker, ligeledes HERRENs Huss Forgård, den indre, og Forgården om Paladsets Forhal.

And the great court round about had three rows of hewn stones, and a row of cedar-beams; and so it was for the inner court of the house of Jehovah, and the porch of the house.

13 Kong Salomo sendte Bud til Tyrus efter Hiram.

And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.

14 Han var Søn af en Enke fra Naftalis Stamme, men hans Fader var en Kobbersmed fra Tyrus. Han sad inde med Visdom, Forstand og Indsigt i at udføre alskens Kobberarbejde; og han kom til Kong Salomo og udførte alt det Arbejde, han skulde have udført.

He was a widow's son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass; and he was full of wisdom and understanding and knowledge, to do all kinds of works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and made all his work.

15 Han støbte de to kobbersøjler foran Forhallen. Den ene var atten Alen høj; den målte tolv Alen i Omkreds; den var hul, og Kobberet var fire Fingerbredder tykt. Ligeså den anden Søjle.

And he formed the two pillars of brass; the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a line of twelve cubits encompassed the second pillar.

16 Og han lavede to Søjlehoveder til at sidde oven på Søjlerne, støbt af Kobber, hvert Søjlehoved fem Alen højt.

And he made two capitals of molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars; the height of the one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits;

17 Og han lavede to Fletværker, flettet Arbejde, Snore, kædeformet Arbejde, til at dække Søjlehovederne oven på Søjlerne, et Fletværk fil hvert Søjleboved;

[and] nets of checker-work, wreaths of chain-work, for the capitals which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital and seven for the other capital.

18 og han lavede Granatæblerne, to Rækker rundt om det ene Fletværk; der var 200 Granatæbler i Rækker rundt om det ene Søjlehoved; på samme Måde gjorde han også ved det andet.

And he made pomegranates, namely two rows round about upon the one network, to cover the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars; and so he did for the other capital.

19 Søjlehovedeme på de to Søjler var liljeformet Arbejde.

And the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars were of lily-work [as] in the porch, four cubits.

20 Søjlehovederne sad på de to Søjler.

And the capitals upon the two pillars, above also, close to the enlargement which was behind the network, had two hundred pomegranates in rows round about, [also] on the other capital.

21 Derpå opstillede han Søjlerne ved Templets Forhal; den Søjle, han opstillede til højre, kaldte han Jakin, og den, han opstillede til venstre, kaldte han Boaz.

And he set up the pillars for the porch of the temple; and he set up the right pillar, and called its name Jachin; and he set up the left pillar, and called its name Boaz.

22 Øverst på Søjlerne var der liljeformet Arbejde. Således blev Arbejdet med Søjlerne færdigt.

And upon the top of the pillars was lily-work; and the work of the pillars was finished.

23 Fremdeles lavede han Havet i støbt Arbejde, ti Alen fra Rand til Rand, helt rundt, fem Alen højt; det målte tredive Alen i Omkreds.

And he made the sea, molten, ten cubits from brim to brim, round all about; and its height was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits encompassed it round about.

24 Under Randen var det hele Vejen rundt omgivet af agurklignende Prydelser, der nåede helt omkring Havet, tredive Alen; i to Rækker sad de agurklignende Prydelser, støbt i eet dermed.

And under the brim of it round about there were colocynths, encompassing it, ten in a cubit enclosing the sea round about; two rows of colocynths, cast when it was cast.

25 Det stod på tolv Okser, således at tre vendte mod Nord, tre mod Vest, tre mod Syd og tre mod Øst; Havet stod oven på dem; de vendte alle Bagkroppen indad.

It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; and the sea was above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.

26 Det var en Håndsbred tykt, og Randen var formet som Randen på et Bæger, som en udsprungen Lilje. Det tog 2000 Bat.

And its thickness was a hand-breadth, and its brim was like the work of the brim of a cup, with lily-blossoms; it held two thousand baths.

27 Fremdeles lavede han de ti Vognstel af Kobber; hvert Stel var fire Alen langt, fire Alen bredt og tre Alen højt.

And he made ten bases of brass: four cubits was the length of one base, and the breadth four cubits, and the height three cubits.

28 Og Stellene var indrettet så ledes: De havde Mellemstykker, og Mellemstykkerne sad mellem Rammestykkerne.

And the work of the bases was this: they had panels, and the panels were between the fillets.

29 På Mellemstykkerne mellem Rammestykkerne var der Løver, Okser og Keruber, ligeledes på Rammestykkerne. Over og under Løverne og Okserne var der Kranse, lavet således, at de hang ned.

And on the panels that were between the fillets were lions, oxen and cherubim; and over the fillets there was a base above; and beneath the lions and oxen were garlands of festoon-work.

30 Hvert Stel havde fire Kobber hjul og Kobberaksler. De fire Hjørner havde Bærearme; under Bækkenet var Bærearmene faststøbt, og midt for hver af dem var der Kranse.

And every base had four wheels of brass, and axles of brass; and on its four corners were shoulder-pieces: under the laver were shoulder-pieces molten, behind every garland.

31 Dets Rand var inden for Bærearmene, een Alen høj, og den var rund: også på Randen var der udskåret Arbejde. Mellemstykkerne var firkantede, ikke runde.

And the mouth of it within the crown and above was a cubit; and its mouth was rounded, [as] the work of the base, a cubit and a half; and also upon its mouth was sculpture; but their panels were square, not round.

32 De fire Hjul sad under Mellemstykkerne, og Hjulenes Akselholdere sad på Stellet; hvert Hjul var halvanden Alen højt.

And the four wheels were under the panels; and the supports of the wheels were in the base; and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.

33 Hjulene var indrettet som Vognhjul, og deres Akselholdere, Fælge, Eger og Nav var alle støbt.

And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their supports, and their rims, and their spokes and their naves were all molten.

34 Der var en Bæream på hvert Stels fire Hjørner, og Bærearmene var i eet med Stellet;

And there were four shoulder-pieces to the four corners of one base; of the base itself were its shoulder-pieces.

35 og oven på Stellet var der en Slags Fatning, en halv Alen høj og helt rund; og Akselholdere og Mellemstykker sad fast på Stellet.

And in the top of the base there was a circular elevation of half a cubit round about; and on the top of the base its stays and its panels were of the same.

36 På Fladerne indgraverede han Keruber, Løver og Palmer, efter som der var Plads til, omgivet af Kranse.

And he engraved on the plates of its stays and on its panels cherubim, lions and palm-trees, according to the space upon each; and garlands were round about.

37 Således lavede han de ti Stel; de var alle støbt på samme Måde, med samme Mål og af samme Form.

After this [manner] he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, one form.

38 Tillige lavede han ti Kobberbækkener; fyrretyve Bat tog hvert Bækken, og hvert Bækken målte fire Alen, et Bækken til hvert af de ti Stel.

And he made ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty baths; every laver was four cubits; upon every one of the ten bases one laver.

39 Og han satte fem af Stellene ved Templets Sydside, fem ved Nordsiden; og Havet opstillede han ved Templets Sydside, ved det sydøstre Hjørne.

And he put the bases, five on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house; and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, over against the south.

40 Fremdeles lavede Hirom Karrene, Skovlene og Skålene. Der med var Hiram færdig med alt sit Arbejde for Kong Salomo til HERRENs Hus:

And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the bowls. So Hiram ended doing all the work that he made for king Solomon [for] the house of Jehovah:

41 De to Søjler, og de to kuglefornede Søjlehoveder ovenpå, de to Fletværker til at dække de to kugleformede Søjlehoveder på Søjlerne,

two pillars, and the globes of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars, two; and the two networks, to cover the two globes of the capitals which were on the top of the pillars;

42 de 400 Granatæbler til de to Fletværker, to Rækker Granatæbler til hvert Fletværk til at dække de to kugleformede Søjlehoveder på de to Søjler,

and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two globes of the capitals which were upon the pillars;

43 de ti Stel med de ti Bækkener på,

and the ten bases, and the ten lavers on the bases;

44 Havet med de tolv Okser under,

and one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea;

45 Karrene, Skovlene og Skålene. Alle disse Ting, som Hiram lavede for Kong Salomo til HERRENs Hus, var af blankt Kobber.

and the pots, and the shovels, and the bowls. And all these things, which Hiram made king Solomon for the house of Jehovah, were of bright brass.

46 I Jordanegnen lod Kongen dem støbe, ved Adamas Vadested mellem Sukkot og Zaretan.

In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay-ground between Succoth and Zaretan.

47 Salomo lod alle Tingene uvejet på Grund af deres såre store Mængde, Kobberet blev ikke vejet.

And Solomon left all the vessels [unweighed] from their exceeding number; the weight of the brass was not ascertained.

48 Og Salomo lod alle Tingene, som hørte til HERRENs Hus, lave: Guldalteret, Guldbordet, som Skuebrødene lå på,

And Solomon made all the vessels that were [in] the house of Jehovah: the golden altar; and the table of gold, whereon was the shewbread;

49 Lysestagerne, fem til højre og fem til venstre, foran Inderhallen, af purt Guld, med Blomsterbægrene, Lamperne og Lysesaksene af Guld,

and the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right, and five on the left, before the oracle; and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold,

50 Fadene, Knivene, Skålene, Kanderne og Panderne af fint Guld, Hængslerne til Dørene for den inderste Hal, det Allerhelligste, og til Dørene for den yderste Hal, det Hellige, af Guld.

and the basons, and the knives, and the bowls, and the cups, and the censers of pure gold; and the hinges of gold, for the folding-doors of the inner house, the most holy place, [and] for the doors of the house, of the temple.

51 Da hele Arbejdet, som Salomo lod udføre ved HERRENs Hus, var færdigt, bragte Salomo sin Fader Davids Helliggaver, Sølvet og Guldet, derind og lagde alle Tingene i Skatkamrene i HERRENs Hus.

And all the work was finished that king Solomon made for the house of Jehovah. And Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated; the silver and the gold and the vessels he put among the treasures of the house of Jehovah.
