1 Kings 6
1 480 years after the Israeli people left Egypt, during the fourth year that Solomon ruled Israel, early in May, Solomon’s workers began to build the temple.
Og det skete i det fire Hundrede og firsindstyvende Aar, efter at Israels Børn vare udgangne af Ægyptens Land, i det fjerde Aar i Maaneden Siv, det er den anden Maaned, efter at Salomo var bleven Konge over Israel, at han byggede Herren Huset.
2 Inside, [the main part of] the temple was 90 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 45 feet high.
Og det Hus, som Kong Salomo byggede Herren, dets Længde var tresindstyve Alen og dets Bredde tyve, og dets Højde var tredive Alen.
3 The entrance room was 15 feet long and 30 feet wide, just as wide as the main part of the temple.
Og Forhallen foran Templets Hus, dens Længde var tyve Alen efter Husets Bredde, ti Alen var dens Bredde foran Huset.
4 There were windows in [the walls of] the temple. The windows were narrower on the outside than on the inside.
Og han gjorde paa Huset Vinduer, med snever Udsigt.
5 Against the two sides and against the back of the temple walls, they built a structure/building that had rooms in it. [This structure had three levels/stories and each was 7-1/2 feet high].
Og han byggede ved Husets Væg en Omgang trindt omkring, ved Væggene af Huset trindt omkring, baade om Templet og Koret, og han gjorde Sidekamre deromkring.
6 [Each room in] the lowest level/story was 7-1/2 feet wide. [Each room in] the middle level/story was nine feet wide. [The rooms in] the top level/story were 10-1/2 feet wide. The wall of the temple at the top level/story was thinner than the wall at the middle level/story, and the wall of the middle level/story was thinner than the wall at the bottom level/story. The result was that the rooms could be supported by the wall underneath them, and did not require wooden beams to support them.
Den nederste Omgang var fem Alen vid, og den midterste var seks Alen vid, og den tredje var syv Alen vid; thi han gjorde Afsætninger uden omkring Huset, at der skulde intet hæfte ved Husets Vægge.
7 The huge stones for [the foundation of] the temple were cut and shaped at the quarry [to become very smooth]. The result was that while the workers were building the temple there was no noise, because they did not use hammers or chisels or any other iron tools there.
Og Huset, der det blev bygget, blev det bygget af hele Stene, som bleve tilførte, og hverken Hamre eller Økse, ej heller noget Redskab af Jern blev hørt i Huset, der det byggedes.
8 The entrance to the bottom level/story [of that attached structure] was on the south side of the temple. There were stairs from the bottom level/story to the middle and top level/story.
Døren til det midterste Sidekammer var paa den højre Side af Huset, og man gik igennem Vindeltrapper op paa den midterste Omgang og fra den midterste op paa den tredje.
9 So Solomon’s [workers] finished building the [framework of the] temple. They made the ceiling from cedar beams and boards.
Og han byggede Huset og fuldendte det, og han lagde Tag paa Huset med Bjælker og Brædder af Cedertræ.
10 They built the structure that had three levels/stories, that was against the walls of the temple. Each level/story was 7-1/2 feet high, and was joined to the temple with cedar beams.
Og han byggede Omgangen ved hele Huset, fem Alen var dens Højde, og den hæftede til Huset med Cederbjælker.
11 Then Yahweh said this to Solomon:
Og Herrens Ord skete til Salomo og sagde:
12 “[I want to tell you] about this temple that you are building. If you continually obey all my statutes and laws and commands, I will do for you what I promised to your father David.
Hvad angaar dette Hus, som du bygger, dersom du vandrer i mine Skikke og gør efter mine Befalinger og holder alle mine Bud ved at vandre efter dem: Saa vil jeg paa dig stadfæste mit Ord, som jeg talede til David, din Fader.
13 I will live among the Israeli people, [in this temple, ] and I will never abandon them.”
Og jeg vil bo midt iblandt Israels Børn og ikke forlade mit Folk Israel.
14 Solomon’s [workers] finished building the temple.
Saa byggede Salomo Huset og fuldendte det.
15 On the inside, they lined/covered the walls with cedar boards. They lined/covered them from the floor to the ceiling. They made the floor from cypress boards.
Og han byggede Husets Vægge indentil af Cederplanker, fra Gulvet i Huset indtil Loftets Vægge overklædte han det indentil med Træ; han overklædte og Gulvet i Huset med Fyrreplanker.
16 Inside the back part of the temple they built an inner room, called the Very Holy Place. It was 30 feet long. All the walls of this room were lined with cedar boards.
Og han byggede tyve Alen til fra Husets bageste Side af med Cederplanker, fra Gulvet indtil øverst paa Væggene, og han byggede Koret der indenfor til det allerhelligste.
17 In front of the Very Holy Place there was a room that was 60 feet long.
Og Huset var fyrretyve Alen langt, nemlig det hellige udenfor.
18 The cedar [boards on the walls] inside the temple were decorated with carvings of gourds and flowers. [The walls were] completely covered with cedar boards, with the result that the stones [of the walls behind them] could not be seen.
Og Cedertræet indentil i Huset havde udskaarne Knapper og udsprungne Blomster; det var altsammen Ceder, der saas ingen Sten.
19 At the back of the temple they made the Very Holy Place, where the Sacred Chest would be put.
Og han beredte Koret indentil i Huset, at man der skulde sætte Herrens Pagtes Ark.
20 That room was 30 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 30 feet high. They covered the walls with [very thin sheets of] pure gold. [For burning incense] they also made an altar of cedar [boards].
Og Korets Længde fortil var tyve Alen, og dets Bredde tyve Alen, og dets Højde tyve Alen, og han beslog det med fint Guld og overklædte et Alter med Cedertræ.
21 Solomon told them to cover the other walls inside the temple with [very thin sheets of] pure gold and to fasten gold chains across the entrance to the Very Holy Place.
Og Salomo beslog Huset indentil med fint Guld, og han drog Kæder af Guld foran Koret og beslog det med Guld.
22 They covered all the walls of the temple and the altar that was outside the Very Holy Place with [very thin sheets of] gold.
Og hele Huset beslog han med Guld, indtil han var bleven færdig med hele Huset, og hele Alteret, som var for Koret, beslog han med Guld.
23 Inside the Very Holy Place, they made from olive tree wood [large statues of] two creatures with wings. Each one was 15 feet tall.
Og han gjorde i Koret to Keruber af Olietræ, ti Alen var deres Højde.
24 They each were the same size and had the same shape. They each had two wings [which were spread out]. Each wing was 7-1/2 feet long, with the result that the distance between the outer ends of the two wings was 15 feet.
Og den ene Kerubs Vinge var fem Alen, og den anden Kerubs Vinge var fem Alen; der var ti Alen fra den ene Vinges Ende og til den anden Vinges Ende.
Og den anden Kerub var ti Alen; de to Keruber havde eet Maal og een Udskæring.
Den ene Kerub var ti Alen høj og ligesaa den anden Kerub.
27 They put those statues next to each other in the Very Holy Place so that the wing of the one touched the one wing of the other in the center of the room, and the outer wings touched the walls.
Og han satte Keruberne midt i Huset indentil, og Keruberne udbredte Vingerne, og den enes Vinge rørte ved den ene Væg, og den anden Kerubs Vinge rørte ved den anden Væg; men deres Vinger midt i Huset rørte Vinge ved Vinge.
28 They covered the statues with [very thin sheets of] gold.
Og han beslog Keruberne med Guld.
29 [Solomon told them to] decorate the walls of the main room and the Very Holy Place by carving representations of winged creatures and palm trees and flowers.
Og paa alle Husets Vægge trindt omkring lod han sætte Snitværk af udskaarne Keruber og Palmer og udsprungne Blomster, indentil og udentil.
30 They also covered the floor of both rooms with [very thin sheets of] gold.
Og han belagde Gulvet i Huset med Guld, indentil og udentil.
31 They made a set of doors from olive tree wood, and placed them at the entrance to the Very Holy Place. The doorposts joined at the top to form a pointed arch.
Og Indgangen til Koret gjorde han med Fløjdøre af Olietræ, Dørkarmen med Dørstolperne udgjorde en Femtepart af Væggen.
32 The doors were decorated by carving on them representations of winged creatures, palm trees, and flowers. All of these things were covered with [very thin sheets of] gold.
Og paa de to Fløjdøre af Olietræ satte han Snitværk af udskaarne Keruber og Palmer og udsprungne Blomster og beslog dem med Guld, og han udbredte Guld over Keruberne og over Palmerne.
33 They made a rectangular door frame from olive tree wood, and put it [between the entrance room and] the main room.
Saaledes gjorde han og for Indgangen til det hellige Dørstolper af Olietræ, som udgjorde den Fjerdepart af Væggen,
34 They made two folding doors from cypress wood [and fastened them to the door frame].
og to Dørfløje af Fyrretræ, den ene Dør havde to Fløje, som kunde opslaas, og den anden Dør havde to Fløje, som kunde opslaas.
35 The doors were also decorated with wood carvings of winged creatures, palm trees, and flowers, and they were also covered evenly with [very thin sheets of] gold.
Og han udskar Keruber og Palmer og udsprungne Blomster og beslog dem med Guld, som var jævnt udbredt over det, som var udgravet.
36 They built a courtyard in front of the temple. The walls around the courtyard were made of cedar and stone; to make the walls, between each layer of cedar beams they put down two layers of stone.
Og han byggede den inderste Forgaard af tre Rader udhugne Stene og en Rad tilhugne Cederstolper.
37 They laid the foundation of the temple of Yahweh in early May, in the fourth year [that Solomon ruled].
I det fjerde Aar blev Grundvolden lagt til Herrens Hus, i Siv Maaned.
38 In the eleventh year [that he ruled], in the middle of October, they finished building the temple and all of its parts, doing exactly what Solomon told them to do. It required seven years to build it.
Og i det ellevte Aar i Maaneden Bul, som er den ottende Maaned, blev Huset fuldkommet med alle sine Sager og med alt sit Tilbehør; og han byggede paa det i syv Aar.
