Anden Krønikebog 3
1 Derpå tog Salomo fat på at bygge HERRENs Hus i Jerusalem på Morija Bjerg, hvor HERREN havde ladet sig til Syne for hans Fader David, på det Sted, David havde beredt, på Jebusiten Ornans Tærskeplads.
Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where [the LORD] appeared unto David his father, which he made ready in the place that David had appointed, in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 Han tog fat på Byggearbejdet i den anden Måned i sit fjerde Regeringsår.
And he began to build in the second [day] of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
3 Målene på Grunden, som Salomo lagde ved Opførelsen af Guds Hus, var følgende: Længden var tresindstyve Alen efter gammelt Mål, Bredden tyve.
Now these are the foundations which Solomon laid for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure was threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.
4 Forhallen foran Templets Hellige var tyve Alen lang, svarende til Templets Bredde, og tyve Alen høj; og han overtrak den indvendig med purt Guld.
And the porch that was before [the house], the length of it, according to the breadth of the house, was twenty cubits, and the height an hundred and twenty: and he overlaid it within with pure gold.
5 Den store Hal dækkede han med Cyprestræ og overtrak den desuden med ægte Guld og prydede den med Palmer og Kranse.
And the greater house he cieled with fir tree, which he overlaid with fine gold, and wrought thereon palm trees and chains:
6 Han smykkede Hallen med Ædelsten; og Guldet var Parvajimguld;
And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim.
7 han overtrak Templet, Bjælkerne, Dørtærsklerne, Væggene og Dørfløjene med Guld og lod indgravere Keruber på Væggene.
He overlaid also the house, the beams, the thresholds, and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved cherubim on the walls.
8 Han byggede fremdeles det Allerhelligste; dets Længde på tværs af Templet var tyve Alen, dets Bredde tyve; og han overtrak det med ægte Guld til en Vægt af 600 Talenter.
And he made the most holy house; the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house, was twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.
9 Naglerne havde en Vægt af halvtredsindstyve Guldsekel; og Rummene på Taget overtrak han med Guld.
And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold.
10 I det Allerhelligste satte han to Keruber i Billedskærerarbejde, og han overtrak dem med Guld.
And in the most holy house he made two cherubim of image work; and they overlaid them with gold.
11 Kerubernes Vinger målte tilsammen tyve Alen i Længden; den enes ene Vinge, fem Alen lang, rørte Hallens ene Væg, medens den anden, fem Alen lang, rørte den andens Vinge;
And the wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits long: the wing of the one [cherub] was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was [likewise] five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.
12 og den anden Kerubs ene Vinge, fem Alen lang, rørte Hallens modsatte Væg, medens den anden, fem Alen lang, nåede til den førsfe Kerubs Vinge.
And the wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was five cubits [also], joining to the wing of the other cherub.
13 Disse Kerubers Vinger mnålte i deres fulde Udstrækning tyve Alen og de stod oprejst med Ansigtet indad.
The wings of these cherubim spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were toward the house.
14 Tillige lavede han Forhænget af violet og rødt Purpur, karmoisinfarvet Stof og fint Linned og prvdede det med Keruber.
And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubim thereon.
15 Foran Templet lavede han to Søjler. De var fem og tredive Alen høje, og Søjlehovedet oven på dem var fem Alen.
Also he made before the house two pillars, of thirty and five cubits high, and the chapiter that was on the top of each of them was five cubits.
16 Så lavede han Kranse som en Halskæde og anbragte dem øverst på Søjlerne, og fremdeles lavede han 100 Granatæbler og satte dem på Kransene.
And he made chains in the oracle, and put [them] on the tops of the pillars; and he made an hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains.
17 Disse Søjler rejste han foran Helligdommen, en til højre og en til venstre: den højre kaldte han Jakin, den venstre Boaz.
And he set up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.
