2 Chronicles 3
1 Then Solomon’s workers started to build the temple for Yahweh in Jerusalem. They built it on Moriah Hill, where [an angel from] Yahweh had appeared to his father David. They built it on the ground that Araunah, a descendant of the Jebus people-group, had sold to David and where David said that it should be built.
Og Salomo begyndte at bygge Herrens Hus i Jerusalem paa Moria Bjerg, hvor han havde aabenbaret sig for David, hans Fader, paa det Sted, jsom David havde beredt paa Ornans, Jebusitens, Tærskeplads.
2 They began the work in April, when Solomon had been ruling almost four years.
Og han begyndte at bygge i den anden Maaned paa den anden Dag, i sin Regerings fjerde Aar.
3 The foundation of the temple was about 90 feet long and 30 feet wide.
Og saaledes lagde Salomo Grundvolden til Bygningen af Guds Hus: Længden i Alen efter gammelt Maal Tar tresindstyve Alen og Bredden tyve Alen.
4 The entrance room across the front of the temple was 30 feet wide and 30 feet high.
Og Forhallen, som var foran, var efter Bredden paa Huset tyve Alen lang, men Højden var hundrede og tyve Alen; og han beslog den indentil med purt Guld.
5 Solomon’s workers used [panels/boards of] pine [wood] to line the main hall of the temple. Then they covered those panels with [very thin sheets of] pure gold. Then they decorated the walls with [carved images of] palm trees and designs that resembled chains.
Men det store Hus beklædte han med Fyrretræ og beslog det med fint Guld, og gjorde derpaa Palmer og Kæder.
6 They decorated the temple with very valuable stones. The gold that they used was from [the land of] Parvaim.
Og han besatte Huset med kostbare Stene til Prydelse, og Guldet var af Parvajims Guld.
7 They covered the ceiling beams, the door frames, the walls and the doors of the temple with [very thin sheets of] gold. They also carved [statues of] winged creatures on the walls.
Og han beslog Huset, Bjælkerne, Dørtærsklerne og dets Vægge og dets Døre med Guld og lod udgrave Keruber paa Væggene.
8 They also built the Very Holy Place [inside the temple]. It was 30 feet wide and 30 feet long. They covered its walls with sheets of pure gold that altogether weighed 23 tons.
Han byggede ogsaa det Allerhelligstes Hus: Dets Længde var tyve Alen efter Husets Bredde, og dets Bredde var tyve Alen; og han beslog det med henved seks Hundrede Centner fint Guld.
9 They used 1-1/4 pounds of gold to [cover the heads of] the nails. They also covered the walls of the upper rooms with sheets of gold.
Og Vægten paa Søm var halvtredsindstyve Sekel Guld; og han beslog Salene med Guld.
10 Solomon’s workers made two statues of creatures with wings to put inside the Very Holy Place. They covered those statues with [very thin sheets of] gold.
Han gjorde og i det Allerhelligstes Hus to Keruber med Billedskærerarbejde; og man beslog dem med Guld.
11 [Each statue had two long wings]. One wing of each statue touched one of the walls of the Temple. The other wing of each statue touched a wing of the other statue. It was 7-1/2 feet from the outer tip of one wing to the outer tip of the other wing. The inner wings of the two statues touched each other.
Og Længden af Vingerne paa Keruberne var tyve Alen; den ene Vinge var fem Alen og rørte ved Husets Væg, og den anden Vinge var og fem Alen og rørte ved den anden Kerubs Vinge.
Og den anden Kerubs Vinge var fem Alen lang og rørte ved Husets Væg, og den anden Vinge var fem Alen og naaede til den anden Kerubs Vinge.
13 It was 30 feet from the outer wing of the one statue to the outer wing of the other statue. The statues faced the doorway to the main room.
Disse Keruber bredte Vingerne tyve Alen ud og stode paa deres Fødder, og deres Ansigter vare vendte imod Huset.
14 Solomon’s workers made a curtain [to separate the main room from the Very Holy Place]. It was made of blue, purple, and red thread and fine linen. There were figures of winged creatures that were embroidered on the curtain.
Han gjorde og Forhænget af blaat uldent og Purpur og Skarlagen og kosteligt Linklæde og gjorde Keruber derpaa.
15 They made two [bronze] pillars and put them at the entrance of the temple. They were each 27 feet high. Each had a top over it that was 7-1/2 feet high.
Han gjorde og foran Huset to Støtter, hvis Længde var fem og tredive Alen, og Knappen, som var oven paa den, var fem Alen.
16 The workers made [carvings that resembled] chains and put them on top of the pillars. They made [carvings that resembled] pomegranates and attached them to the chains.
Og han gjorde Kæder som i Koret og satte dem oven paa Støtterne og gjorde hundrede Granatæbler og satte dem paa Kæderne.
17 They set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the south side [of the entrance] and the other on the north side. The one on the south side was named Jakin and the one on the north side was named Boaz.
Og han oprejste Støtterne foran Templet, een til den højre Side og een til venstre Side; og han kaldte Navnet paa den til højre Jakin og Navnet paa den til venstre Boas.
