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.
In the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, he began to build the LORD’s house.
2 Templet, som Kong Salomo byggede HERREN, var tresindstyve Alen langt, tyve Alen bredt og tredive Alen højt.
The house which King Solomon built for the LORD had a length of sixty cubits, and its width twenty, and its height thirty cubits.
3 Forhallen foran Templets Hellige var tyve Alen lang, svarende til Templets Bredde, og ti Alen bred.
The porch in front of the temple of the house had a length of twenty cubits, which was along the width of the house. Ten cubits was its width in front of the house.
4 Han forsynede Templet med Gittervinduer i Bjælkerammer,
He made windows of fixed lattice work for the house.
5 og op til Tempelmuren byggede han en Tilbygning rundt om Templets Mure, rundt om det Hellige og inderhallen, og indrettede Siderum rundt om.
Against the wall of the house, he built floors all around, against the walls of the house all around, both of the temple and of the inner sanctuary; and he made side rooms all around.
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 wide, and the middle was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide; for on the outside he made offsets in the wall of the house all around, that the beams should not be inserted into 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.
The house, when it was under construction, was built of stone prepared at the quarry; and no hammer or axe or any tool of iron was heard in the house while it was under construction.
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 door for the middle side rooms was in the right side of the house. 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.
So he built the house and finished it; and he covered the house with beams and planks of cedar.
10 Han byggede Tilbygningen rundt om hele Templet, hvert Stokværk fem Alen højt, og den blev forbundet med Templet med Cederbjælker.
He built the floors all along the house, each five cubits high; and they rested on the house with timbers of cedar.
11 Da kom HERRENs Ord til Salomo således:
The LORD’s word 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, -
“Concerning this house which you are building, if you will walk in my statutes, and execute my ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them, then I will establish my word with you, which I spoke to David your father.
13 og tage Bolig blandt Israeliterne og ikke forlade mit Folk Israel."
I will dwell amongst the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.”
14 Således byggede Salomo Templet færdigt.
So 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.
He built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar; from the floor of the house to the walls of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood. He covered the floor of the house with cypress boards.
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.
He built twenty cubits of the back part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the ceiling. He built this within, for an inner sanctuary, even for the most holy place.
17 Fyrretyve Alen målte det Hellige foran Inderhallen.
In front of the temple sanctuary 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.
There was cedar on the house within, carved with buds and open flowers. All was cedar. No stone was visible.
19 Han indrettede inderhallen inde i Templet for der at opstille HERRENs Pagts Ark.
He prepared an inner sanctuary in the middle of the house within, to set the ark of the LORD’s covenant there.
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
Within the inner sanctuary was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in its height. He overlaid it with pure gold. He covered the altar with cedar.
21 foran Inderhallen og overtrak det med Guld. Og Salomo overtrak Templet indvendig med fint Guld og trak for med Guldkæder.
So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold. He drew chains of gold across before the inner sanctuary, and he 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.
He overlaid the whole house with gold, until all the house was finished. He also overlaid the whole altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary with gold.
23 I Inderhallen satte han to Keruber af vildt Oliventræ, ti Alen høje;
In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high.
24 den ene Kerubs Vinger var hver fem Alen, der var ti Alen fra den ene Vingespids til den anden;
Five cubits was the length of one wing of the cherub, and five cubits was the length of the other wing of the cherub. From the tip of one wing to the tip of the other was ten cubits.
25 ti Alen målte også den anden Kerub; begge keruber havde samme Mål og Skikkelse;
The other cherub was ten cubits. Both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.
26 begge Keruber var ti Alen høje.
One cherub was ten cubits high, and so was 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.
He set the cherubim within the inner house. The wings of the cherubim were stretched out, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the middle of the house.
28 Keruberne overtrak han med Guld.
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,
He carved all the walls of the house around with carved figures of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, inside and outside.
30 og Templets Gulv overtrak han med Guld, både i den inderste og den yderste Hal.
He overlaid the floor of the house with gold, inside and outside.
31 Til Inderhallens Indgang lod han lave to Dørfløje af vildt Oliventræ; Overliggeren og Dørposterne dannede en Femkant.
For the entrance of the inner sanctuary, he made doors of olive wood. The lintel and door posts were a fifth part of the wall.
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.
So he made two doors of olive wood; and he carved on them carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold. He spread the 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,
He also made the entrance of the temple door posts of olive wood, out of a fourth part of the wall,
34 og to Dørfløje af Cyprestræ, således at hver af de to Dørfløje bestod af to bevægelige Dørflader;
and two doors 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.
He carved cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold fitted on the engraved work.
36 Ligeledes indrettede han den indre Forgård ved at bygge tre Lag Kvadersten og et Lag Cederbjælker.
He built the inner court with three courses of cut stone and a course of cedar beams.
37 I det fjerde År lagdes Grunden til HERRENs Hus i Ziv Måned;
The foundation of the LORD’s house was laid in the fourth year, in the month Ziv.
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.
In the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was finished throughout all its parts and according to all its specifications. So he spent seven years building it.
