< 2 Chronicles 3 >
1 Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where he appeared to David his father, at the place that David had designated, on the threshing 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 And he began to build in the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
Han tog fat på Byggearbejdet i den anden Måned i sit fjerde Regeringsår.
3 Now these are the foundations which Solomon laid for the building of God's house. The length, using the former standard measure, was one hundred three feet and four inches, and the breadth was thirty-four feet and five inches, and its height was fifty-one feet and eight inches.
Målene på Grunden, som Salomo lagde ved Opførelsen af Guds Hus, var følgende: Længden var tresindstyve Alen efter gammelt Mål, Bredden tyve.
4 The porch that was in front of the house was the same as the width of the house, thirty-four feet and five inches, and the depth was seventeen feet and three inches; and he overlaid it on the inside with pure 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 The greater house he made a ceiling with fir wood, which he overlaid with fine gold, and ornamented it with 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 He garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim.
Han smykkede Hallen med Ædelsten; og Guldet var Parvajimguld;
7 He overlaid also the house, the beams, the thresholds, and its walls, and its doors, with gold; and engraved cherubim on the walls.
han overtrak Templet, Bjælkerne, Dørtærsklerne, Væggene og Dørfløjene med Guld og lod indgravere Keruber på Væggene.
8 He made the most holy house: its length, according to the breadth of the house, was thirty-four feet and five inches, and its breadth thirty-four feet and five inches; and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.
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 The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He overlaid the upper rooms with gold.
Naglerne havde en Vægt af halvtredsindstyve Guldsekel; og Rummene på Taget overtrak han med Guld.
10 In the most holy house he made two cherubim of sculptured work; and he overlaid them with gold.
I det Allerhelligste satte han to Keruber i Billedskærerarbejde, og han overtrak dem med Guld.
11 The wings of the cherubim were thirty-four feet and five inches: the wing of the one was eight feet and seven inches, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was eight feet and seven inches, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.
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 The wing of the other cherub was eight feet and seven inches, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was eight feet and seven inches, joining to the wing of the other cherub.
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 The wings of these cherubim were extended thirty-four feet and five inches: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were toward the house.
Disse Kerubers Vinger mnålte i deres fulde Udstrækning tyve Alen og de stod oprejst med Ansigtet indad.
14 He made the veil of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and ornamented it with cherubim.
Tillige lavede han Forhænget af violet og rødt Purpur, karmoisinfarvet Stof og fint Linned og prvdede det med Keruber.
15 Also he made before the house two pillars sixty feet and three inches high, and the capital that was on the top of each of them was eight feet and seven inches.
Foran Templet lavede han to Søjler. De var fem og tredive Alen høje, og Søjlehovedet oven på dem var fem Alen.
16 He made chains in the inner sanctuary, and put them on the tops of the pillars; and he made one hundred pomegranates, and put them 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 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 Jakin, and the name of 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.
