1 Kings 7

1 Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.

Men Salomo byggede paa sit eget Hus tretten Aar og fuldendte hele sit Hus.

2 For he built the House of the Forest of Lebanon. Its length was one hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, on four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams on the pillars.

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 It was covered with cedar above over the forty-five beams that were on the pillars, fifteen in a row.

Og det var tækket med Ceder oventil over Bjælkerne, som hvilede paa fem og fyrretyve Søjler, femten i hver Rad.

4 There were beams in three rows, and window was facing window in three ranks.

Og der var Stokværk i tre Rader, og Vindue over for Vindue tre Gange.

5 All the doors and posts were made square with beams; and window was facing window in three ranks.

Og alle Døre og Dørstolper vare firkantede, af Tømmerværk, og der var Vindue over for Vindue tre Gange.

6 He made the hall of pillars. Its length was fifty cubits and its width thirty cubits, with a porch before them, and pillars and a threshold before them.

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 He made the porch of the throne where he was to judge, even the porch of judgment; and it was covered with cedar from floor to floor.

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 His house where he was to dwell, the other court within the porch, was of the same construction. He made also a house for Pharaoh’s daughter (whom Solomon had taken as wife), like this porch.

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 these were of costly stones, even of stone cut according to measure, sawed with saws, inside and outside, even from the foundation to the coping, and so on the outside to the great court.

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 foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits.

Grunden var ogsaa lagt af kostbare Stene, af store Stene, af Stene paa ti Alen og Stene paa otte Alen.

11 Above were costly stones, even cut stone, according to measure, and cedar wood.

Og oventil vare kostbare Stene, hugne Stene efter Maal, og Ceder.

12 The great court around had three courses of cut stone with a course of cedar beams, like the inner court of Yahweh’s house and the porch of the house.

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 King Solomon sent and brought Hiram out of Tyre.

Og Kong Salomo sendte hen og lod hente Hiram fra Tyrus.

14 He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze; and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill to work all works in bronze. He came to King Solomon and performed all his work.

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 For he fashioned the two pillars of bronze, eighteen cubits high apiece; and a line of twelve cubits encircled either of them.

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 made two capitals of molten bronze to set on the tops of the pillars. The height of the one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits.

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 There were nets of checker work and wreaths of chain work for the capitals which were on the top of the pillars: seven for the one capital, and seven for the other capital.

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 So he made the pillars; and there were two rows of pomegranates around the one network, to cover the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; and he did so for the other capital.

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 capitals that were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily work, four cubits.

Og Kronerne, som vare paa Støtternes Hoveder, vare gjorte som en Lillie, ved Forhallen, fire Alen.

20 There were capitals above also on the two pillars, close by the belly which was beside the network. There were two hundred pomegranates in rows around the other capital.

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 He set up the pillars at the porch of the temple. He set up the right pillar and called its name Jachin; and he set up the left pillar and called its name 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 On the tops of the pillars was lily work. So the work of the pillars was finished.

Og paa Støtternes Hoveder var der gjort som en Lillie; saa blev Arbejdet med Støtterne fuldendt.

23 He made the molten sea ten cubits from brim to brim, round in shape. Its height was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits encircled 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 Under its brim around there were buds which encircled it for ten cubits, encircling the sea. The buds were in two rows, cast when it was cast.

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 It stood on twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; and the sea was set on them above, and all their hindquarters were inward.

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 It was a hand width thick. Its brim was worked like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily. It held two thousand baths.

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 He made the ten bases of bronze. The length of one base was four cubits, four cubits its width, and three cubits its height.

Han gjorde ogsaa ti Kobberstole; Længden paa hver Stol var fire Alen og dens Bredde fire Alen og dens Højde tre Alen.

28 The work of the bases was like this: they had panels; and there were panels between the ledges;

Og hver Stol var gjort saaledes: De havde Fyldinger, ja Fyldinger imellem Listerne.

29 and on the panels that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and on the ledges there was a pedestal above; and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.

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 Every base had four bronze wheels and axles of bronze; and its four feet had supports. The supports were cast beneath the basin, with wreaths at the side of each.

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 Its opening within the capital and above was a cubit. Its opening was round like the work of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also on its opening were engravings, and their panels were square, not round.

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 four wheels were underneath the panels; and the axles of the wheels were in the base. The height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.

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 work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel. Their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs were all of cast metal.

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 There were four supports at the four corners of each base. Its supports were of the base itself.

Og der vare fire Skulderstykker paa hver Stols fire Hjørner; ud fra Stolen gik dens Skulderstykker frem.

35 In the top of the base there was a round band half a cubit high; and on the top of the base its supports and its panels were the same.

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 On the plates of its supports and on its panels, he engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, each in its space, with wreaths all around.

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 He made the ten bases in this way: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form.

Saaledes gjorde han de ti Stole, der var een Støbning, eet Maal, een Udgravning for dem alle sammen.

38 He made ten basins of bronze. One basin contained forty baths. Every basin measured four cubits. One basin was on every one of the ten bases.

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 He set the bases, five on the right side of the house and five on the left side of the house. He set the sea on the right side of the house eastward and toward the south.

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 Hiram made the pots, the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram finished doing all the work that he worked for King Solomon in Yahweh’s house:

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 bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top 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 four hundred pomegranates for the two networks; two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on 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 bases; the ten basins on the bases;

og de ti Stole og de ti Kedler oven paa Stolene;

44 the one sea; the twelve oxen under the sea;

og det ene Hav og de tolv Okser under Havet;

45 the pots; the shovels; and the basins. All of these vessels, which Hiram made for King Solomon in Yahweh’s house, were of burnished 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 The king cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.

Paa Jordanens Slette lod Kongen dem støbe, i den faste Jord, imellem Sukot og Zarthan.

47 Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because there were so many of them. The weight of the bronze could not be determined.

Og Salomo lod alle Karrene være uvejede for den saare store Mængdes Skyld; Kobberets Vægt blev ikke undersøgt.

48 Solomon made all the vessels that were in Yahweh’s house: the golden altar and the table that the show bread was on, of gold;

Og Salomo lod gøre alle Redskaberne, som hørte til Herrens Hus, nemlig Guldalteret og Bordet, som Skuebrødene vare paa, af Guld,

49 and the lamp stands, five on the right side and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary, of pure gold; and the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;

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 snuffers, the basins, the spoons, and the fire pans, of pure gold; and the hinges, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, of the temple, 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 Thus all the work that King Solomon did in Yahweh’s house was finished. Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated—the silver, the gold, and the vessels—and put them in the treasuries of Yahweh’s house.

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.
