1 Kings 6

1 Then it happened that, in the four hundred and eightieth year after the sons of Israel departed from the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of the reign of Solomon over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, the house of the Lord began to be built.

480 Aar efter at Israeliterne var vandret ud af Ægypten, i Ziv Maaned, det er den anden Maaned, i det fjerde Aar Salomo herskede i Israel, begyndte han at bygge HERREN Templet.

2 Now the house, which king Solomon was building to the Lord, was sixty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and thirty cubits in height.

Templet, som Kong Salomo byggede HERREN, var tresindstyve Alen langt, tyve Alen bredt og tredive Alen højt.

3 And a portico was before the temple, of twenty cubits in length, in accord with the measure of the width of the temple. And it had ten cubits of width before the face of the temple.

Forhallen foran Templets Hellige var tyve Alen lang, svarende til Templets Bredde, og ti Alen bred.

4 And he made oblique windows in the temple.

Han forsynede Templet med Gittervinduer i Bjælkerammer,

5 And upon the wall of the temple, he built panels on all sides, in the walls of the house around the temple and the oracle. And he made side chambers all around.

og op til Tempelmuren byggede han en Tilbygning rundt om Templets Mure, rundt om det Hellige og Inderhallen, og indrettede Siderum rundt om.

6 The flooring on the bottom level held five cubits in width, and the middle floor was six cubits in width, and the third floor held seven cubits in width. Then he positioned beams on the house all around the outside, in such a way that they would not be fastened to the walls of the temple.

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.

7 Now the house, while it was being built, was made from cut and finished stones. And so, neither mallet, nor chisel, nor any tool of iron was heard in the house while it was being built.

Ved Templets Opførelse byggede man med Sten, der var gjort færdige i Stenbrudet, derfor hørtes hverken Lyd af Hamre, Mejsler eller andet Jernværktøj, medens Templet byggedes.

8 The door at the side of the middle section was to the right of the house. And they would ascend along winding stairs to the middle level, and from the middle level to the third level.

Indgangen til det nederste Rum var paa Templets Sydside, og derfra førte Vindeltrapper op til det mellemste og derfra igen op til det tredje Rum.

9 And he built the house, and finished it. And he overlaid the house with boards of cedar.

Saaledes byggede han Templet færdigt, og han lagde Taget med Bjælker og Planker af Cedertræ.

10 And he built a paneling over the entire house, five cubits in height, and he covered the house with cedar wood.

Han byggede Tilbygningen rundt om hele Templet, hvert Stokværk fem Alen højt, og den blev forbundet med Templet med Cederbjælker.

11 And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying:

Da kom HERRENS Ord til Salomo saaledes:

12 “Concerning this house, which you are building: if you will walk in my precepts, and carry out my judgments, and keep all my commandments, advancing by them, I will confirm my word to you, which I spoke to your father David.

»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 paa dig stadfæste det Ord, jeg talede til din Fader David,

13 And I will dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel, and I will not forsake my people Israel.”

og tage Bolig blandt Israeliterne og ikke forlade mit Folk Israel.«

14 And so, Solomon built the house, and finished it.

Saaledes byggede Salomo Templet færdigt.

15 And he built the walls of the house, on the interior, with panels of cedar, from the floor of the house, to the top of the walls, and even to the ceiling. He covered it with cedar wood on the interior. And he overlaid the floor of the house with panels of spruce.

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.

16 And he built panels of cedar, of twenty cubits, at the back part of the temple, from the floor even to the top. And he made the inner house of the oracle as the Holy of Holies.

Han dækkede de tyve bageste Alen af Templet med Cederbrædder fra Gulv til Bjælker og indrettede sig Rummet derinde til en Inderhal, det Allerhelligste.

17 And the temple itself, before the doors of the oracle, was forty cubits.

Fyrretyve Alen maalte det Hellige foran Inderhallen.

18 And the entire house was clothed with cedar on the interior, having its turnings and junctures artfully wrought, with carvings projecting outward. Everything was clothed with panels of cedar. And no stone at all was able to be seen in the wall.

Templet var indvendig dækket med Cedertræ, udskaaret Arbejde i Form af Agurker og Blomsterkranse; alt var af Cedertræ, ikke en Sten var at se.

19 Now he made the oracle in the middle of the house, in the inner part, so that he might station the ark of the covenant of the Lord there.

Han indrettede Inderhallen inde i Templet for der at opstille HERRENS Pagts Ark.

20 And the oracle held twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in height. And he covered and clothed it with the purest gold. Then, too, he clothed the altar in cedar.

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

21 Also, the house before the oracle, he covered with the purest gold, and he fastened the plates with nails of gold.

foran Inderhallen og overtrak det med Guld. Og Salomo overtrak Templet indvendig med fint Guld og trak for med Guldkæder.

22 And there was nothing in the temple that was not covered with gold. Moreover, the entire altar of the oracle he overlaid with gold.

Hele Templet overtrak han med Guld, hele Templet fra den ene Ende til den anden; ogsaa hele Alteret foran Inderhallen overtrak han med Guld.

23 And he made in the oracle two cherubim from wood of the olive tree, of ten cubits in height.

I Inderhallen satte han to Keruber af vildt Oliventræ, ti Alen høje;

24 One wing of a cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of a cherub was five cubits, that is, having ten cubits from the summit of one wing even to the summit of the other wing.

den ene Kerubs Vinger var hver fem Alen, der var ti Alen fra den ene Vingespids til den anden;

25 Likewise, the second cherub was ten cubits. And the measure was equal and the work was one, in the two cherubim,

ti Alen maalte ogsaa den anden Kerub; begge Keruber havde samme Maal og Skikkelse;

26 that is, one cherub had a height of ten cubits, and similarly the second cherub.

begge Keruber var ti Alen høje.

27 And he stationed the cherubim in the middle of the inner temple. And the cherubim extended their wings, and the wing of the one was touching the wall, and the wing of the second cherub was touching the other wall. But the other wings, in the middle of the temple, were touching each another.

Og han opstillede Keruberne midt i den inderste Del af Templet, og de udbredte deres Vinger saaledes, 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.

28 He also overlaid the cherubim with gold.

Keruberne overtrak han med Guld.

29 And all the walls of the temple all around he engraved with diverse carvings and turnings. And he made in them cherubim, and palm trees, and various images, as if these were projecting out, and going forth from, the wall.

Rundt paa alle Vægge i Templet anbragte han udskaaret Arbejde, Keruber, Palmer og Blomsterkranse, baade i den inderste og den yderste Hal,

30 Then, too, the floor of the house he overlaid with gold within and without.

og Templets Gulv overtrak han med Guld, baade i den inderste og den yderste Hal.

31 And at the entrance of the oracle, he made little doors, from wood of the olive tree, with posts of five corners.

Til Inderhallens Indgang lod han lave to Dørfløje af vildt Oliventræ; Overliggeren og Dørposterne dannede en Femkant.

32 And there were two doors, from wood of the olive tree. And he carved upon them pictures of cherubim, and images of palm trees, and very prominent figures. And he overlaid these with gold. And he covered the cherubim, as well as the palm trees and the other things, with gold.

Og paa de to Oliventræsfløje lod han udskære Keruber, Palmer og Blomsterkranse og overtrak dem med Guld, idet han lod Guldet trykke ned i de udskaarne Keruber og Palmer.

33 And he made, at the entrance of the temple, posts from wood of the olive tree, with four corners,

Ligeledes lod han til Indgangen til det Hellige lave Dørstolper af vildt Oliventræ, firkantede Dørstolper,

34 and two doors, from wood of the spruce tree, on the other side. And each door was double, and so it opened by folding upon itself.

og to Dørfløje af Cyprestræ, saaledes at hver af de to Dørfløje bestod af to bevægelige Dørflader;

35 And he carved cherubim, and palm trees, and very prominent engravings. And he covered everything with gold plates, worked to be perfectly square.

og han lod udskære Keruber, Palmer og Blomsterkranse i dem og overtrak dem med Guld, der laa i et tyndt Lag over de udskaarne Figurer.

36 And he built the inner atrium with three rows of polished stones, and one row of cedar wood.

Ligeledes indrettede han den indre Forgaard ved at bygge tre Lag Kvadersten og et Lag Cederbjælker.

37 In the fourth year, the house of the Lord was founded, in the month of Ziv.

I det fjerde Aar lagdes Grunden til HERRENS Hus i Ziv Maaned;

38 And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was perfected in all its works and in all its equipment. And he built it for seven years.

og i det ellevte Aar i Bul Maaned, det er den ottende Maaned, fuldførtes Templet i alle dets Dele og Stykker; han byggede paa det i syv Aar.
