Første Kongebog 6
1 480 År efter at Israeliterne var vandret ud af Ægypten, i Ziv Måned, det er den anden Måned, i det fjerde År Salomo herskede i Israel, begyndte han at bygge HERREN Templet.
And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of Jehovah.
2 Templet, som Kong Salomo byggede HERREN, var tresindstyve Alen langt, tyve Alen bredt og tredive Alen højt.
And the house that king Solomon built for Jehovah was sixty cubits in length, and twenty in breadth, and thirty cubits in height.
3 Forhallen foran Templets Hellige var tyve Alen lang, svarende til Templets Bredde, og ti Alen bred.
And the porch, in front of the temple of the house, was twenty cubits in length, in front of the house broadways, [and] ten cubits was its breadth, in front of the house.
4 Han forsynede Templet med Gittervinduer i Bjælkerammer,
And for the house he made closed windows with fixed lattices.
5 og op til Tempelmuren byggede han en Tilbygning rundt om Templets Mure, rundt om det Hellige og inderhallen, og indrettede Siderum rundt om.
And against the wall of the house he built floors round about, [against] the walls of the house, round about the temple and the oracle; and he made side-chambers round about.
6 Det nederste Rum var fem Alen bredt, det mellemste seks og det tredje syv, thi han byggede Fremspring i Templets Ydermur rundt om, for at man ikke skulde være nødt til at lade Bjælkerne gribe ind i Templets Mure.
The lowest floor was five cubits broad, and the middle one was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad; for in the [thickness of the wall of] the house he made resets round about outside, that nothing should be fastened in the walls of the house.
7 Ved Templets Opførelsebyggede man med Sten, der var gjort færdige i Stenbrudet, derfor hørtes hverken Lyd af Hamre, Mejsler eller andet Jernværktøj, medens Templet byggedes.
And the house, when it was being built, was built of stone entirely made ready before it was brought thither; so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house while it was being built.
8 Indgangen til det nederste Rum var på Templets Sydside, og derfra førte Vindeltrapper op til det mellemste og derfra igen op til det tredje Rum.
The entrance to the side-chambers of the middle [floor] was in the right side of the house; and they went up by winding stairs into the middle [floor], and out of the middle into the third.
9 Således byggede han Templet færdigt, og han lagde Taget med Bjælker og Planker af Cedertræ.
And he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar.
10 Han byggede Tilbygningen rundt om hele Templet, hvert Stokværk fem Alen højt, og den blev forbundet med Templet med Cederbjælker.
And he built the floors against all the house, five cubits high; and they held to the house by the timbers of cedar.
11 Da kom HERRENs Ord til Salomo således:
And the word of Jehovah came to Solomon saying,
12 "Dette Hus, som du er ved at bygge - dersom du vandrer efter mine Anordninger og gør efter mine Lovbud og omhyggeligt vandrer efter alle mine Bud, vil jeg på dig stadfæste det Ord, jeg talede til din Fader David, -
As to this house which thou art building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and practise mine ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them, then will I perform my word as to thee which I spoke unto David thy father;
13 og tage Bolig blandt Israeliterne og ikke forlade mit Folk Israel."
and I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.
14 Således byggede Salomo Templet færdigt.
And Solomon built the house and finished it.
15 Templets Vægge dækkede han indvendig med Cederbrædder; fra Bygningens Gulv til Loftsbjælkerne dækkede han dem indvendig med Træ; og over Templets Gulv lagde han Cypresbrædder.
And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar, from the floor of the house to the walls of the roof; he overlaid [them] on the inside with wood, and overlaid the floor of the house with boards of cypress.
16 Han dækkede de tyve bageste Alen af Templet med Cederbrædder fra Gulv til Bjælker og indrettede sig Rummet derinde til en Inderhal, det Allerhelligste.
And he built twenty cubits of the innermost part of the house, both floor and walls, with boards of cedar; and he built [them] for it within, to [be] the oracle, the most holy place.
17 Fyrretyve Alen målte det Hellige foran Inderhallen.
And the house, that is, the temple before it, was forty cubits [long].
18 Templet var indvendig dækket med Cedertræ, udskåret Arbejde i Form af Agurker og Blomsterkranse; alt var af Cedertræ, ikke en Sten var at se.
And the cedar of the house within was carved with colocynths and half-open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
19 Han indrettede inderhallen inde i Templet for der at opstille HERRENs Pagts Ark.
And he prepared the oracle in the midst of the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of Jehovah.
20 Inderhallen var tyve Alen lang, tyve Alen bred og tyve Alen høj, og han overtrak den med fint Guld. Fremdeles lavede han et Alter af Cedertræ
And the oracle within was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof; and he overlaid it with pure gold; and he overlaid the cedar-wood altar —
21 foran Inderhallen og overtrak det med Guld. Og Salomo overtrak Templet indvendig med fint Guld og trak for med Guldkæder.
and Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold, and shut off the oracle in front with chains of gold, and overlaid it with gold.
22 Hele Templet overtrak han med Guld, hele Templet fra den ene Ende til den anden; også hele Alteret foran inderhallen overtrak han med Guld.
And the whole house he overlaid with gold, the whole house entirely; also the whole altar that was by the oracle he overlaid with gold.
23 I Inderhallen satte han to Keruber af vildt Oliventræ, ti Alen høje;
And he made in the oracle two cherubim of olive-wood, ten cubits high;
24 den ene Kerubs Vinger var hver fem Alen, der var ti Alen fra den ene Vingespids til den anden;
and one wing of the cherub was five cubits, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub, ten cubits from the end of one wing to the end of the other wing;
25 ti Alen målte også den anden Kerub; begge keruber havde samme Mål og Skikkelse;
and the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.
26 begge Keruber var ti Alen høje.
The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so of the other cherub.
27 Og han opstillede Keruberne midt i den inderste Del af Templet, og de udbredte deres Vinger således, at den enes ene Vinge rørte den ene Væg og den andens ene Vinge den modsatte Væg, medens de to andre Vinger rørte hinanden midt i Templet.
And he set the cherubim in the midst of the inner house; and the wings of the cherubim were stretched forth, so that the wing of the one touched the wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched, wing to wing, in the midst of the house.
28 Keruberne overtrak han med Guld.
And he overlaid the cherubim with gold.
29 Rundt på alle Vægge i Templet anbragte han udskåret Arbejde, Keruber, Palmer og Blomsterkranse, både i den inderste og den yderste Hal,
And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved sculptures of cherubim, and palm-trees, and half-open flowers, within and without.
30 og Templets Gulv overtrak han med Guld, både i den inderste og den yderste Hal.
And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.
31 Til Inderhallens Indgang lod han lave to Dørfløje af vildt Oliventræ; Overliggeren og Dørposterne dannede en Femkant.
And for the entrance of the oracle he made doors of olive-wood: the lintel [and] side posts were the fifth part [of the breadth of the house].
32 Og på de to Oliventræsfløje lod han udskære Keruber, Palmer og Blomsterkranse og overtrak dem med Guld, idet han lod Guldet trykke ned i de udskårne Keruber og Palmer.
The two doors were of olive-wood; and he carved on them carvings of cherubim, and palm-trees and half-open flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread gold on the cherubim and on the palm-trees.
33 Ligeledes lod han til indgangen til det Hellige lave Dørstolper af vildt Oliventræ, firkantede Dørstolper,
And he also made for the doorway of the temple posts of olive-wood, of the fourth part [of the breadth of the house].
34 og to Dørfløje af Cyprestræ, således at hver af de to Dørfløje bestod af to bevægelige Dørflader;
And the two folding-doors were of cypress-wood: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
35 og han lod udskære Keruber, Palmer og Blomsterkranse i dem og overtrak dem med Guld, der lå i et tyndt Lag over de udskårne Figurer.
And he carved on them cherubim, and palm-trees, and half-open flowers; and overlaid them with gold fitted on the carved work.
36 Ligeledes indrettede han den indre Forgård ved at bygge tre Lag Kvadersten og et Lag Cederbjælker.
And he built the inner court of three rows of hewn stone, and a row of cedar-beams.
37 I det fjerde År lagdes Grunden til HERRENs Hus i Ziv Måned;
In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of Jehovah laid, in the month Zif;
38 og i det ellevte År i Bul Måned, det er den ottende Måned, fuldførtes Templet i alle dets Dele og Stykker; han byggede på det i syv År.
and in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished in all its parts, and according to all the fashion of it. So he was seven years in building it.
