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.
Derpaa tog Salomo fat paa at bygge HERRENS Hus i Jerusalem paa Morija Bjerg, hvor HERREN havde ladet sig til Syne for hans Fader David, paa det Sted, David havde beredt, paa Jebusiten Ornans Tærskeplads.
2 They began the work in April, when Solomon had been ruling almost four years.
Han tog fat paa Byggearbejdet i den anden Maaned i sit fjerde Regeringsaar.
3 The foundation of the temple was about 90 feet long and 30 feet wide.
Maalene paa Grunden, som Salomo lagde ved Opførelsen af Guds Hus, var følgende: Længden var tresindstyve Alen efter gammelt Maal, Bredden tyve.
4 The entrance room across the front of the temple was 30 feet wide and 30 feet high.
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 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.
Den store Hal dækkede han med Cyprestræ og overtrak den desuden med ægte Guld og prydede den med Palmer og Kranse.
6 They decorated the temple with very valuable stones. The gold that they used was from [the land of] Parvaim.
Han smykkede Hallen med Ædelsten; og Guldet var Parvajimguld;
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.
han overtrak Templet, Bjælkerne, Dørtærsklerne, Væggene og Dørfløjene med Guld og lod indgravere 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 fremdeles det Allerhelligste; dets Længde paa tværs af Templet var tyve Alen, dets Bredde tyve; og han overtrak det med ægte Guld til en Vægt af 600 Talenter.
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.
Naglerne havde en Vægt af halvtredsindstyve Guldsekel; og Rummene paa Taget overtrak han 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.
I det Allerhelligste satte han to Keruber i Billedskærerarbejde, og han overtrak 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.
Kerubernes Vinger maalte 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;
og den anden Kerubs ene Vinge, fem Alen lang, rørte Hallens modsatte Væg, medens den anden, fem Alen lang, naaede til den første 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 Kerubers Vinger maalte i deres fulde Udstrækning tyve Alen og de stod oprejst med Ansigtet indad.
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.
Tillige lavede han Forhænget af violet og rødt Purpur, karmoisinfarvet Stof og fint Linned og prydede det med Keruber.
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.
Foran Templet lavede han to Søjler. De var fem og tredive Alen høje, og Søjlehovedet oven paa dem 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.
Saa lavede han Kranse som en Halskæde og anbragte dem øverst paa Søjlerne, og fremdeles lavede han 100 Granatæbler og satte dem paa Kransene.
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.
Disse Søjler rejste han foran Helligdommen, en til højre og en til venstre: den højre kaldte han Jakin, den venstre Boaz.
