¹Þessu næst leiddi hann mig inn í aðalhúsið og mældi súlurnar, og voru þær sex álnir að þykkt báðumegin.

¹He brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, which was the breadth of the tent.

²Og dyrnar voru tíu álna breiðar og dyraveggurinn fimm álnir hvorumegin. Hann mældi lengd Hins heilaga, og var hún fjörutíu álnir og breiddin tuttugu álnir.

²The breadth of the entrance was ten cubits; and the sides of the entrance were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured its length, forty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits.

³Síðan gekk hann inn fyrir og mældi dyrastöplana, og voru þeir tveggja álna þykkir og vídd dyranna sex álnir, og dyraveggurinn sjö álnir hvorumegin.

³Then went he inward, and measured each post of the entrance, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits; and the breadth of the entrance, seven cubits.

⁴Og hann mældi lengd hússins, og var hún tuttugu álnir, og breiddin tuttugu álnir frammi við aðalhúsið. Og hann sagði við mig: ,,Þetta er Hið allrahelgasta.``

⁴He measured its length, twenty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said to me, This is the most holy place.

⁵Þessu næst mældi hann musterisvegginn, og var hann sex álna þykkur og breidd hliðarhússins fjórar álnir allt í kringum musterið.

⁵Then he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every side room, four cubits, all around the house on every side.

⁶Lágu herbergin hvert áfast við annað, þrjátíu herbergi á þremur hæðum. Stallar voru á veggnum, sem var á musterinu fyrir hliðarherbergin allt í kring, til þess að þau hvíldu á honum, en væru eigi fest á musterisvegginn.

⁶The side rooms were in three stories, one over another, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which belonged to the house for the side rooms all around, that they might have hold therein, and not have hold in the wall of the house.

⁷Og þau urðu æ breiðari, því ofar sem þau lágu kringum musterið, því að hliðarherbergin voru alveg upp úr hringinn í kringum musterið. Fyrir því minnkaði breidd hússins upp á við, og mátti ganga af neðsta gólfi hliðarhússins yfir neðra loftið upp á efra loftið.

⁷The side rooms were broader as they encompassed the house higher and higher; for the encompassing of the house went higher and higher around the house: therefore the breadth of the house continued upward; and so one went up from the lowest room to the highest by the middle room.

⁸Þá sá ég, að á musterishúsinu var pallur hringinn í kring, og grundvöllur hliðarherbergjanna var full sex álna mælistöng.

⁸I saw also that the house had a raised base all around: the foundations of the side rooms were a full reed of six great cubits.

⁹Þykkt útveggsins á hliðarhúsinu var fimm álnir, og var autt svæði milli hliðarhússins og musterisins,

⁹The thickness of the wall, which was for the side rooms, on the outside, was five cubits: and that which was left was the place of the side rooms that belonged to the house.

¹⁰milli herbergjanna, tuttugu álna breitt hringinn í kringum musterið.

¹⁰Between the rooms was a breadth of twenty cubits around the house on every side.

¹¹Dyr gengu frá hliðarhúsinu að auðu svæði, aðrar dyrnar til norðurs, hinar til suðurs. Og breidd auða svæðisins var fimm álnir hringinn í kring.

¹¹The doors of the side rooms were toward the place that was left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south: and the breadth of the place that was left was five cubits all around.

¹²Hús lá gegnt afgirta svæðinu við vesturhliðina. Var það sjötíu álna breitt og veggur þess fimm álna þykkur hringinn í kring og lengd þess níutíu álnir.

¹²The building that was before the separate place at the side toward the west was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length ninety cubits.

¹³Þessu næst mældi hann musterishúsið, og var það hundrað álna langt. Afgirta svæðið og húsið með veggjum þess var hundrað álnir á lengd.

¹³So he measured the house, one hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with its walls, one hundred cubits long;

¹⁴Og framhlið musterishússins og afgirta svæðið austan megin var hundrað álnir á breidd.

¹⁴also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, one hundred cubits.

¹⁵Og hann mældi lengd hússins gegnt afgirta svæðinu vestan við það og súlnagöng þess beggja vegna, og var það hundrað álnir. Aðalhúsið, innhúsið og forsalur þess,

¹⁵He measured the length of the building before the separate place which was at its back, and its galleries on the one side and on the other side, one hundred cubits; and the inner temple, and the porches of the court;

¹⁶þröskuldarnir og skáhöllu gluggarnir og súlnagöngin umhverfis, þessi þrjú hús voru þiljuð frá jörðu og upp að gluggum . . .

¹⁶the thresholds, and the closed windows, and the galleries around on their three stories, over against the threshold, with wood ceilings all around, and from the ground up to the windows, (now the windows were covered),

¹⁷Uppi yfir dyrum aðalhússins innan og utan og á öllum veggnum innan og utan hringinn í kring

¹⁷to the space above the door, even to the inner house, and outside, and by all the wall all around inside and outside, by measure.

¹⁸voru gjörðir kerúbar og pálmar, og var einn pálmi milli hverra tveggja kerúba. En kerúbinn hafði tvö andlit.

¹⁸It was made with cherubim and palm trees; and a palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces;

¹⁹Annars vegar sneri mannsandlit að pálmanum, en ljónsandlit hins vegar. Svo var á húsinu allt um kring.

¹⁹so that there was the face of a man toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side. thus was it made through all the house all around:

²⁰Neðan frá gólfi og upp fyrir dyr voru gjörðir kerúbar og pálmar á veggnum.

²⁰from the ground to above the door were cherubim and palm trees made: thus was the wall of the temple.

²¹Umgjörðin yfir dyrunum og dyrastafir aðalhússins mynduðu ferhyrning. Fyrir framan helgidóminn var eitthvað, sem líktist

²¹As for the temple, the door posts were squared; and as for the face of the sanctuary, the appearance of it was as the appearance of the temple.

²²altari af tré, þriggja álna hátt. Það var tvær álnir á lengd og tvær álnir á breidd, og á því voru horn, og undirstöður þess og hliðveggir voru af tré. Og hann sagði við mig: ,,Þetta er borðið, sem stendur frammi fyrir Drottni.``

²²The altar was of wood, three cubits high, and its length two cubits; and its corners, and its length, and its walls, were of wood: and he said to me, This is the table that is before Yahweh.

²³Og tvöfaldar hurðir voru á aðalhúsinu og helgidóminum.

²³The temple and the sanctuary had two doors.

²⁴Í hvorum dyrum voru tvær hurðir, er léku á hjörum.

²⁴The doors had two leaves apiece, two turning leaves: two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other.

²⁵Og á hurðunum voru kerúbar og pálmar, eins og á veggjunum, og þakskyggni af tré var fram af forsalnum.Og skáhallir gluggar og pálmar voru beggja vegna á hliðarveggjum forsalsins . . .

²⁵There were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubim and palm trees, like as were made on the walls; and there was a threshold of wood on the face of the porch outside.

²⁶Og skáhallir gluggar og pálmar voru beggja vegna á hliðarveggjum forsalsins . . .

²⁶There were closed windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch: thus were the side rooms of the house, and the thresholds.
