2 Krønikebok 3
1 So tok Salomo til å byggja Herrens hus i Jerusalem, på Moriafjellet der Herren hadde openberra seg for David, far hans, på den staden som David hadde laga til på treskjaarvollen åt jebusiten Ornan.
And Solomon began to build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem, in mount Moria, which had been shewn to David his father, in the place which David had prepared in the thrashingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 Han tok til å byggja på den andre dagen i den andre månaden i sitt fjorde styringsår.
And he began to build in the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
3 Då no Salomo skulde byggja Guds hus, lagde han grunnen soleis: Lengdi var seksti alner etter det gamle målet, og breiddi tjuge alner.
Now these are the foundations, which Solomon laid, to build the house of God, the length by the first measure sixty cubits, the breadth twenty cubits.
4 Forhalli som låg framanfor langhuset, framanfor breidsida, var tjuge alner lang og hundrad og tjuge alner høg, og innvendes klædde han henne med skirt gull.
And the porch in the front, which was extended in length according to the measure of the breadth of the house, twenty cubits: and the height was a hundred and twenty cubits: and he overlaid it within with pure gold.
5 Hovudromet klædde han med cypresstre, og han klædde det dessutan med egte gull og prydde det med palmor og kransar.
And the greater house he ceiled with deal boards, and overlaid them with plates of fine gold throughout: and he graved in them palm trees, and like little chains interlaced with one another.
6 Han klædde romet med dyre steinar til prydnad, og gullet var kome frå Parvajim.
He paved also the floor of the temple with most precious marble, of great beauty.
7 Og han klædde huset, bjelkarne, dørstokkarne og veggjerne og dørerne med gull og skar ut kerubar i veggjerne.
And the gold of the plates with which he overlaid the house, and the beams thereof, and the posts, and the walls, and the doors was of the finest: and he graved cherubims on the walls.
8 Romet for det høgheilage bygde han soleis at lengdi etter breidsida åt hovudromet var tjuge alner, og breiddi tjuge alner, og han klædde det med egte gull, som vog femtan hundrad våger.
He made also the house of the holy of holies: the length of it according to the breadth of the temple, twenty cubits, and the breadth of it in like manner twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with plates of gold, amounting to about six hundred talents.
9 Vegti på spikrarne var seksti lodd i gull; dei øvre romi klædde han med gull.
He made also nails of gold, and the weight of every nail was fifty sicles: the upper chambers also he overlaid with gold.
10 I det høgheilage romet gjorde han tvo kerubar i bilætskurd, og deim klædde han med gull.
He made also in the house of the holy of holies two cherubims of image work: and he overlaid them with gold.
11 Vengjerne på kerubarne var tjuge alner i lengd; den eine vengen på den eine keruben var fem alner lang og tok veggen i romet, og den andre vengen var og fem alner lang og tok i vengen på den andre keruben;
The wings of the cherubims were extended twenty cubits, so that one wing was five cubits long, and reached to the wall of the house: and the other was also five cubits long, and reached to the wing of the other cherub.
12 og den eine vengen på den andre keruben var fem alner lang og tok veggen i romet, og den andre vengen var og fem alner lang og nådde til vengen på den fyrste keruben.
In like manner the wing of the other cherub, was five cubits long, and reached to the wall: and his other wing was five cubits long, and touched the wing of the other cherub.
13 Vengjerne på desse kerubarne var tjuge alner i si fulle lengd; og dei stod upprette og snudde andliti innetter.
So the wings of the two cherubims were spread forth, and were extended twenty cubits: and they stood upright on their feet, and their faces were turned toward the house without.
14 Og han gjorde forhenget purpurblått og purpurraudt og karmesinraudt og kvitt garn, og han prydde det med kerubar.
He made also a veil of violet, purple, scarlet, and silk: and wrought in it cherubims.
15 Og han gjorde tvo sulor til å standa framanfor huset. Dei var fem og tretti alner høge, og hovudet på deim var fem alner.
He made also before the doors of the temple two pillars, which were five and thirty cubits high: and their chapiters were five cubits.
16 Dessutan gjorde han hengjekransar til koren og sette deim på det øvste av sulorne; og på hjengjekransarne sette han hundrad granateple.
He made also as it were little chains in the oracle, and he put them on the heads of the pillars: and a hundred pomegranates, which he put between the little chains.
17 Sulorne sette han framanfor templet, ei til høgre og ei til vinstre; den som var høgre, kalla han Jakin, den vinstre Boaz.
These pillars he put at the entrance of the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left: that which was on the right hand, he called Jachin: and that on the left hand, Boot.
