2 Chronicles 3
1 Then Solomon made a start at building the house of the Lord on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem, where the Lord had been seen by his father David, in the place which David had made ready in the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
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.
2 The building was started in the second month in the fourth year of his rule.
Han tog fat på Byggearbejdet i den anden Måned i sit fjerde Regeringsår.
3 And Solomon put the base of the house of God in position; by the older measure it was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide.
Målene på Grunden, som Salomo lagde ved Opførelsen af Guds Hus, var følgende: Længden var tresindstyve Alen efter gammelt Mål, Bredden tyve.
4 And the covered way in front of the house was twenty cubits long, as wide as the house, and a hundred and twenty cubits high, all plated inside with the best gold.
Forhallen foran Templets Hellige var tyve Alen lang, svarende til Templets Bredde, og tyve Alen høj; og han overtrak den indvendig med purt Guld.
5 And the greater house was roofed with cypress-wood, plated with the best gold and ornamented with designs of palm-trees and chains.
Den store Hal dækkede han med Cyprestræ og overtrak den desuden med ægte Guld og prydede den med Palmer og Kranse.
6 And the house was made beautiful with stones of great value, and the gold was gold of Parvaim.
Han smykkede Hallen med Ædelsten; og Guldet var Parvajimguld;
7 All the house was plated with gold, the supports, the steps, the walls and the doors; and the walls were ornamented with designs of winged ones.
han overtrak Templet, Bjælkerne, Dørtærsklerne, Væggene og Dørfløjene med Guld og lod indgravere Keruber på Væggene.
8 And he made the most holy place; it was twenty cubits long, and twenty cubits wide, like the greater house, and was plated all over with the best gold; six hundred talents were used for it.
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.
9 And fifty shekels weight of gold was used for the nails. He had all the higher rooms plated with gold.
Naglerne havde en Vægt af halvtredsindstyve Guldsekel; og Rummene på Taget overtrak han med Guld.
10 And in the most holy place he made images of two winged beings, covering them with gold.
I det Allerhelligste satte han to Keruber i Billedskærerarbejde, og han overtrak dem med Guld.
11 Their outstretched wings were twenty cubits across; one wing, five cubits long, touching the wall of the house, and the other, of the same size, meeting the wing of the other winged one.
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;
12 And in the same way, the wings of the other, five cubits long, were stretched out, one touching the wall and the other meeting the wing of the first winged one.
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.
13 Their outstretched wings were twenty cubits across; they were placed upright on their feet, facing the inner part of the house.
Disse Kerubers Vinger mnålte i deres fulde Udstrækning tyve Alen og de stod oprejst med Ansigtet indad.
14 And he made the veil of blue and purple and red, of the best linen, worked with winged ones.
Tillige lavede han Forhænget af violet og rødt Purpur, karmoisinfarvet Stof og fint Linned og prvdede det med Keruber.
15 And in front of the house he made two pillars, thirty-five cubits high, with crowns on the tops of them, five cubits high.
Foran Templet lavede han to Søjler. De var fem og tredive Alen høje, og Søjlehovedet oven på dem var fem Alen.
16 And he made chains, like neck ornaments, and put them on the tops of the pillars, and a hundred apples on the chains.
Så lavede han Kranse som en Halskæde og anbragte dem øverst på Søjlerne, og fremdeles lavede han 100 Granatæbler og satte dem på Kransene.
17 He put up the pillars in front of the Temple, one on the right side and one on the left, naming the one on the right Jachin and that on the left Boaz.
Disse Søjler rejste han foran Helligdommen, en til højre og en til venstre: den højre kaldte han Jakin, den venstre Boaz.
