Første Kongebog 7

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

And Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, 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.

For he built the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length thereof was an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof 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 over the forty and five beams, that were upon the pillars; fifteen in a row.

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

And there were prospects in three rows, and light was over against light 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 in prospect: and light was over against light 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; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits; and a porch before them; and pillars and thick beams before 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 of the throne where he might judge, even 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 might dwell, the other court within the porch, was of the like work. He made also an house for Pharaoh’s daughter, (whom Solomon had taken to wife, ) like unto this porch.

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 were of costly stones, even of hewn stone, according to measure, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and so on the outside unto the great court.

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

And the foundation was of costly stones, even 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, even hewn stone, according to measure, and cedar wood.

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 stone, and a row of cedar beams; like as the inner court of the house of the LORD, 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 the son of a widow woman of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass; and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and cunning, to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought 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.

For he fashioned the two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits compassed either of them about.

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

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

There were nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one chapiter, and seven for the other chapiter.

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.

So he made the pillars; and there were two rows round about upon the one network, to cover the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars: and so did he for the other chapiter.

19 Søjlehovedeme på de to Søjler var liljeformet Arbejde.

And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily work, four cubits.

20 Søjlehovederne sad på de to Søjler.

And there were chapiters above also upon the two pillars, close by the belly which was beside the network: and the pomegranates were two hundred, in rows round about upon the other chapiter.

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 at the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof 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: so was the work of the pillars 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 molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and the height thereof was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits compassed 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 knops which did compass it, for ten cubits, compassing the sea round about: the knops were in two rows, 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 set upon them above, 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 it was an handbreadth thick; and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: 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 the ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it.

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

And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had borders; and there were borders between the ledges:

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 borders that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and upon the ledges there was a pedestal above: and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging 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 brasen wheels, and axles of brass: and the four feet thereof had undersetters: beneath the laver were the undersetters molten, with wreaths at the side of each.

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 chapiter and above was a cubit: and the mouth thereof was round after the work of a pedestal, a cubit and an half: and also upon the mouth of it were gravings, and their borders were foursquare, 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 underneath the borders; and the axletrees 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 axletrees, and their felloes, 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 undersetters at the four corners of each base: the undersetters thereof were of the base itself.

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 was there a round compass of half a cubit high: and on the top of the base the stays thereof and the borders thereof were of the same.

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

And on the plates of the stays thereof, and on the borders thereof, he graved cherubim, lions, and palm tress, according to the space of each, with wreaths 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, and 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: and every laver was four cubits: and 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 set 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, toward 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 basons. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he wrought for king Solomon in the house of the LORD:

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

the two pillars, and the two bowls of the chapiters that were on the top of the pillars; and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that 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 each network, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that 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 the 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 basons: even all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon, in the house of the LORD, were of burnished brass.

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

In the Plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.

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

And Solomon left all the vessels [unweighed], because they were exceeding many: the weight of the brass could not be found out.

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 the LORD: the golden altar, and the table whereupon the shewbread was, of gold;

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

and the candlesticks, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, of pure gold; 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 cups, and the snuffers, and basons, and the spoons, and the firepans, of pure gold; and the hinges, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, [to wit], of the temple, of gold.

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.

Thus all the work that king Solomon wrought in the house of the LORD was finished. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated, [even] the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD.
