1 Kings 7
1 They also built a palace for Solomon, but it required 13 years to build it.
Men Salomo byggede paa sit eget Hus tretten Aar og fuldendte hele sit Hus.
2 One of the buildings they constructed was [a] large [ceremonial hall]. It was called the Hall of the Forest of Lebanon. It was 150 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. It was supported/held up by four rows of pillars of [wood from] cedar [trees]. There were 15 pillars in each row. There were cedar beams across each row.
Og han byggede Libanons Skovhus, hundrede Alen var dets Længde og halvtredsindstyve Alen dets Bredde og tredive Alen dets Højde, paa fire Rader Cedersøjler og udhugne Cederbjælker paa Søjlerne.
3 [To support the roof] there were cedar beams that connected the rows of pillars.
Og det var tækket med Ceder oventil over Bjælkerne, som hvilede paa fem og fyrretyve Søjler, femten i hver Rad.
4 On each of the two side walls there were three rows of windows.
Og der var Stokværk i tre Rader, og Vindue over for Vindue tre Gange.
5 All the windows and doorways had rectangular frames. The windows along the long wall on one side faced the windows on the other side.
Og alle Døre og Dørstolper vare firkantede, af Tømmerværk, og der var Vindue over for Vindue tre Gange.
6 They also built another building called the Hall of Pillars. It was 75 feet long and 45 feet wide. It had a covered porch [whose roof was] supported by pillars.
Og han gjorde Søjlehallen, halvtredsindstyve Alen var dens Længde og tredive Alen dens Bredde, og en Forhal foran den med Søjler og Opgangstrin foran den.
7 Then they made a building called the Hall of the Throne. It was also called the Hall of Judgment. That was where Solomon decided/judged concerning people’s disputes. The walls were covered with cedar boards, from the floor to the rafters.
Han gjorde ogsaa en Tronhal, hvor han vilde dømme, en Retshal, og den var beklædt med Ceder paa Gulvet fra den ene Ende til den anden.
8 In the courtyard behind the Hall of Judgment they built a house for Solomon to live in that was made like the other buildings. They also built the same kind of house for his wife, who was the daughter of the king of Egypt.
Og i hans Hus, hvori han boede, var en anden Forgaard inden for Forhallen, den var gjort efter den samme Vis; han gjorde ogsaa et Hus til Faraos Datter, som Salomo havde taget til Hustru, ligesom denne Forhal.
9 All of those buildings and the walls around the palace courtyard were made from costly blocks of stone, from the foundations up to the eaves. The stones were cut [at the quarry], according to the sizes that were needed, and the sides of the stones were shaped by cutting/smoothing them with saws.
Alt dette var af kostbare Stene, hugne Stene efter Maal, savede med Save indadtil og udadtil, og det fra Grunden indtil Lejderne, ogsaa udadtil indtil den store Forgaard.
10 The foundations were also made from huge blocks of stone [that were prepared at the quarry]. Some of them were twelve feet long and some were fifteen feet long.
Grunden var ogsaa lagt af kostbare Stene, af store Stene, af Stene paa ti Alen og Stene paa otte Alen.
11 On top of the foundation stones were other blocks of stone that were cut according to the sizes they needed, and cedar beams.
Og oventil vare kostbare Stene, hugne Stene efter Maal, og Ceder.
12 The palace courtyard, the inner courtyard in front of the temple, and the entrance room of the temple had walls made by putting down three layers of cut stones between each layer of cedar beams.
Men den store Forgaard trindt omkring var af tre Rader hugne Stene og en Rad udhugne Cederbjælker; saaledes var og Herrens Huses inderste Forgaard og Forhallen ved Huset.
13 There was a man who lived in Tyre [city] whose name was Huram. He knew how to make very nice things from bronze. His father had also lived in Tyre and had also been very skilled at making things from bronze, but Huram’s father was no longer living. His mother was from the tribe of Naphtali. Huram was very wise and intelligent and was very skilled at making things from bronze. Solomon invited him to come [to Jerusalem and supervise] all the work of making things from bronze, and Huram agreed.
Og Kong Salomo sendte hen og lod hente Hiram fra Tyrus.
Han var en Enkes Søn af Nafthalis Stamme, og hans Fader havde været en Mand fra Tyrus, en Kobbersmed; og han var opfyldt med Visdom og Forstand og Kundskab til at gøre alle Haande Gerning af Kobber, og han kom til Kong Salomo og udførte alt hans Arbejde.
15 He made two bronze pillars. Each one was 27 feet tall and 18 feet around. Each was hollow, and the walls of the pillars were 3 in./7.4 cm. thick.
Og han dannede to Kobberstøtter, atten Alen var Højden af den ene Støtte, og en Traad paa tolv Alen gik omkring den anden Støtte.
16 He also made two bronze caps to be put on top of the pillars. Each cap was 7-1/2 feet tall.
Og han gjorde to Kroner til at sætte oven paa Støtternes Hoveder, støbte af Kobber; Højden af den ene Krone var fem Alen, og Højden af den anden Krone var fem Alen.
17 Then he made bronze wreaths of chains to decorate the top part of each pillar.
Der var et Net, gjort som en Fletning, og Snore, gjorte som Kæder, om Kronerne, som vare paa Støtternes Hoveder, syv om den ene Krone og syv om den anden Krone.
18 He also made bronze [figures that resembled] pomegranates. He put two rows of pomegranates over the top parts of each pillar.
Og han gjorde Støtterne; og der var to Rader rundt omkring ved det ene Net til at dække Kronerne, som vare oven over Granatæblerne; saaledes gjorde han og paa den anden Krone.
19 The top part over each pillar was shaped like a lily. Each [lily leaf] was six feet tall.
Og Kronerne, som vare paa Støtternes Hoveder, vare gjorte som en Lillie, ved Forhallen, fire Alen.
20 These top parts were placed on a bowl-shaped section around which was draped the wreaths of chains. He made 200 [figures that represented] pomegranates and put them in two rows around the top/head of each pillar.
Og Kroner vare paa de to Støtter, ja tæt oven for Bugningen, som var oven over Nettet; og der var to Hundrede Granatæbler i to Rader rundt omkring ved den anden Krone.
21 His [helpers] set up the pillars in front of the entrance of the temple. The pillar on the south side was named Jakin, and the pillar on the north side was named Boaz.
Og han oprejste Støtterne ved Templets Forhal, og han oprejste den højre Støtte og kaldte dens Navn Jakin, og han oprejste den venstre Støtte og kaldte dens Navn Boas.
22 The bronze top parts that were shaped like lilies were placed on top of the pillars. So Huram and his helpers finished making the bronze pillars.
Og paa Støtternes Hoveder var der gjort som en Lillie; saa blev Arbejdet med Støtterne fuldendt.
23 Huram also constructed a very large round bronze tank that was made of metal and cast [in a clay mold]. It was 7-1/2 ft./2.3 meters high, 30 feet/9 meters across/wide, and 45 feet/13.5 meters around it.
Og han gjorde et støbt Hav; det var ti Alen fra den ene Rand til den anden Rand og var rundt trindt omkring, og fem Alen var dets Højde, og en Snor tredive Alen lang gik om det trindt omkring.
24 Around the outer edge of the rim of the tank were two rows of gourds that were made of bronze. [But] the gourds [were not cast separately; they] were cast in the same mold as the rest of the tank. For each foot of length around the rim of the tank there were six [figures of] gourds.
Og der var Knapper rundt omkring under Randen derpaa, og de gik trindt omkring det, ti paa hver Alen, og de omgave Havet trindt omkring; der var to Rader Knapper, som vare støbte i een Støbning med det selv.
25 Huram [also cast] twelve [bronze statues of] oxen. He placed them to face outward. He placed three of them to face north, three to face west, three to face south, and three to face east. His helpers put the bronze tank on the backs of [the statues of] the oxen.
Det stod paa tolv Okser, tre vare vendte mod Norden, og tre vare vendte mod Vesten, og tre vare vendte mod Sønden, og tre vare vendte mod Østen, og oven paa dem stod Havet, og deres Bagdele vare alle indad.
26 The sides [of the tank] were 3 in./8 cm. thick. The rim was like the rim of a cup. It [curved outward, ] like the petals of a lily. [When the tank was full, ] it held about 10,000 gallons [of water].
Og Tykkelsen derpaa var en Haandbred, og Randen derpaa var gjort som Randen paa et Bæger, ligesom et Lillieblomster; det kunde holde to Tusinde Bath.
27 Huram also made ten bronze carts. Each was six feet long and six feet wide and 4-1/2 feet tall.
Han gjorde ogsaa ti Kobberstole; Længden paa hver Stol var fire Alen og dens Bredde fire Alen og dens Højde tre Alen.
28 [On the sides of the carts] there were panels which were set in frames.
Og hver Stol var gjort saaledes: De havde Fyldinger, ja Fyldinger imellem Listerne.
29 On those panels were [bronze figures of] lions, bulls, and winged creatures. Below and above the lions and bulls there were decorations of bronze wreaths.
Og paa Fyldingerne, som vare imellem Listerne, var der Løver, Okser og Keruber, og over Listerne var der en fast Fod oventil, og neden for Løverne og Okserne var der Løvværk af nedhængende Arbejde.
30 Each cart had four bronze wheels and two axles made of bronze. At the top corners of each cart were bronze supports to hold up a basin. On these supports were also decorations of bronze wreaths.
Og hver Stol havde fire Kobberhjul med Kobberaksler, og de fire Ben derpaa havde Skulderstykker; neden under Kedelen vare Skulderstykkerne støbte til; over for hvert var der Løvværk.
31 On top of each cart, [under each basin, ] was a frame [that resembled] a circular collar. The top of each circular frame was 18 inches above the top of the cart, and the bottom of it was nine inches below the top of the cart. There were also decorations of bronze wreaths on the frame engraved within square panels.
Og Mundingen derpaa inden for Krandsen og opad var en Alen høj, og Mundingen i denne var rund, gjort som et Fodstykke, halvanden Alen vid, og der var ogsaa om dens Munding alle Haande udskaaret Arbejde, og Fyldingerne derpaa vare firkantede, ikke runde.
32 The wheels were 27 inches high. They were below the panels. The wheels were connected to axles that had been cast in the same mold as the rest of the cart.
Og de fire Hjul vare neden under Fyldingerne, og de Stykker, som grebe om Hjulakslerne, vare gjorte faste til Stolen, og hvert Hjuls Højde var halvanden Alen.
33 The wheels of the carts were like the wheels of chariots. The axles, the rims, the spokes, and the hubs were all cast [from bronze].
Og Hjulene vare gjorte, som Vognhjul gøres; de Stykker, som grebe om Akslerne, og deres Fælger og deres Eger og deres Nav vare alle støbte.
34 At the top corners of each cart there were handles. These were cast in the same mold as the rest of the cart.
Og der vare fire Skulderstykker paa hver Stols fire Hjørner; ud fra Stolen gik dens Skulderstykker frem.
35 There was a nine-inch bronze band around the top of each cart. There were braces attached to the corners of each cart. The bands and the braces were cast in the same mold as the rest of the cart.
Og paa Overstykket af Stolen var der i en halv Alens Højde en Runding trindt omkring; og paa Overstykket af Stolen vare dens Haandgreb og dens Fyldinger ud af eet med den.
36 The braces and the panels [on the sides of the carts] were also decorated with [figures of] winged creatures, lions, and palm trees, whenever there was space for them, and there were bronze wreaths all around them.
Og han lod udgrave paa Fladerne af dens Haandgreb og paa dens Fyldinger Keruber, Løver og Palmer, hvor der var bart paa enhver, og Løvværk trindt omkring.
37 That is how Huram made the ten carts. They [were all cast in the same mold, so they] were all alike: They all were the same size and had the same shape.
Saaledes gjorde han de ti Stole, der var een Støbning, eet Maal, een Udgravning for dem alle sammen.
38 Huram also made ten bronze basins, one for each cart. Each basin was six feet across and held 200 gallons [of water].
Og han gjorde ti Kobberkedler, hver Kedel kunde holde 40 Bath, hver Kedel var fire Alen, der var en Kedel paa hver Stol af de ti Stole.
39 Huram placed five of the carts on the south side of the temple and five on the north side. He put the big tank at the southeast corner.
Og han satte de fem Stole ved Siden af Huset paa den højre Side og fem ved Siden af Huset paa den venstre Side deraf; men Havet satte han paa den højre Side af Huset mod Sydøst.
40 Huram also made pots, shovels [for carrying ashes], and bowls [for carrying the blood of the animals that would be sacrificed]. He completed all the work that King Solomon requested him to do for the temple. [This is a list of the bronze things he made]:
Og Hiram gjorde Kedlerne og Ildskufferne og Skaalene, og Hiram blev færdig med alt Arbejdet, som han gjorde for Kong Salomo til Herrens Hus:
41 the two pillars; the two top parts to be put over the pillars; the two wreaths of chains to decorate the tops of the pillars;
De to Støtter og de runde Kroner, som vare paa Hovedet af de to Støtter, og de to Net til at dække de to runde Kroner, som vare paa Hovedet af Støtterne;
42 the 400 [figures of] pomegranates, in two rows, with 100 in each row, that were placed over the top parts of the pillars;
og de fire Hundrede Granatæbler til de to Net; to Rader Granatæbler til ethvert Net for at dække de tvende runde Kroner, som vare oven paa Støtterne;
43 the ten carts; the ten basins;
og de ti Stole og de ti Kedler oven paa Stolene;
44 the big tank; the twelve [statues of] oxen on whose backs the tank was placed;
og det ene Hav og de tolv Okser under Havet;
45 the pots, shovels [for the ashes of the altar], and bowls. Huram [and his workers] made all these things for King Solomon and put them outside the temple. They were all made of polished bronze.
og Gryderne og Ildskufferne og Skaalene. Og alle de Kar, som Hiram gjorde for Kong Salomo til Herrens Hus, vare af poleret Kobber.
46 They made them by pouring melted bronze into the clay molds that Huram had set up near the Jordan [River] Valley, between [the cities of] Succoth and Zarethan.
Paa Jordanens Slette lod Kongen dem støbe, i den faste Jord, imellem Sukot og Zarthan.
47 Solomon did not [tell his workers to] weigh those bronze objects, because there were many items. So no one ever knew what they weighed.
Og Salomo lod alle Karrene være uvejede for den saare store Mængdes Skyld; Kobberets Vægt blev ikke undersøgt.
48 Solomon’s [workers] also made all the gold items for the temple: the altar; the table on which the priests put the sacred bread placed before God;
Og Salomo lod gøre alle Redskaberne, som hørte til Herrens Hus, nemlig Guldalteret og Bordet, som Skuebrødene vare paa, af Guld,
49 the ten lampstands [that were put] in front of the Very Holy Place, five on the south side and five on the north side; the [decorations that resembled] flowers; the lamps; the tongs [to grasp the hot coals];
og de fem Lysestager paa den højre Side og de fem paa den venstre Side lige for Koret, af fint Guld, og Blomsterne og Lamperne og Saksene af Guld,
50 the cups, the gold lamp wick snuffers, the small lamp bowls, the dishes for incense, the pans [for carrying the hot coals], and the hinges for the doors at the entrance to the Very Holy Place and for the doors at the entrance [to the main room] of the temple. Those things were all made of gold.
og Bækkenerne og Knivene og Skaalene og Røgelseskaalene og Ildkarrene af fint Guld; og Hængslerne til Dørene i Huset indentil i det allerhelligste og til Husets Døre i Templet af Guld.
51 So Solomon’s [workers] finished all the work for the temple. Then they placed in the temple storerooms all the things that his father David had dedicated to Yahweh—all the silver and gold, and the other valuable items.
Saa blev alt Arbejdet færdigt, som Kong Salomo gjorde til Herrens Hus; og Salomo førte de Ting, som hans Fader David havde helliget, derind, nemlig Sølvet og Guldet og Karrene, og han lagde det i Herrens Huses Skatkammer.
