حِزْقِيَال 41

١ 1 وَأَتَى بِي إِلَى ٱلْهَيْكَلِ وَقَاسَ ٱلْعَضَائِدَ، عَرْضُهَا مِنْ هُنَا سِتُّ أَذْرُعٍ، وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ سِتُّ أَذْرُعٍ، عَرْضُ ٱلْخَيْمَةِ.

He took me to the Temple and measured the posts as cubits wide on both sides.

٢ 2 وَعَرْضُ ٱلْمَدْخَلِ عَشَرُ أَذْرُعٍ، وَجَوَانِبُ ٱلْمَدْخَلِ مِنْ هُنَا خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ. وَقَاسَ طُولَهُ أَرْبَعِينَ ذِرَاعًا وَٱلْعَرْضَ عِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعًا.

The entrance was ten cubits wide, and the sides of the entrance were five cubits long on both sides. He measured the outer sanctuary as forty cubits long and twenty cubits wide.

٣ 3 ثُمَّ جَاءَ إِلَى دَاخِلٍ وَقَاسَ عَضَادَةَ ٱلْمَدْخَلِ ذِرَاعَيْنِ، وَٱلْمَدْخَلَ سِتَّ أَذْرُعٍ، وَعَرْضَ ٱلْمَدْخَلِ سَبْعَ أَذْرُعٍ.

He went into the inner sanctuary and measured the entrance posts as two cubits wide. The entrance was six cubits wide, and the walls on both sides were seven cubits wide.

٤ 4 وَقَاسَ طُولَهُ عِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعًا، وَٱلْعَرْضَ عِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعًا إِلَى قُدَّامِ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ. وَقَالَ لِي: «هَذَا قُدْسُ ٱلْأَقْدَاسِ».

He measured the room beside the inner sanctuary as twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. He told me, “This is the Most Holy Place.”

٥ 5 وَقَاسَ حَائِطَ ٱلْبَيْتِ سِتَّ أَذْرُعٍ، وَعَرْضَ ٱلْغُرْفَةِ أَرْبَعَ أَذْرُعٍ حَوْلَ ٱلْبَيْتِ مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ.

He measured Temple wall as six cubits thick, and each side room around the Temple was four cubits wide.

٦ 6 وَٱلْغُرُفَاتُ غُرْفَةٌ إِلَى غُرْفَةٍ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ مَرَّةً، وَدَخَلَتْ فِي ٱلْحَائِطِ ٱلَّذِي لِلْبَيْتِ لِلْغُرُفَاتِ حَوْلَهُ لِتَتَمَكَّنَ، وَلَا تَتَمَكَّنَ فِي حَائِطِ ٱلْبَيْتِ.

There were three levels of side rooms above one another, each having thirty rooms. The wall of the Temple had external supports for the side rooms, so that they would not be fixed into the wall of the Temple itself.

٧ 7 وَٱتَّسَعَتِ ٱلْغُرُفَاتُ وَأَحَاطَتْ صَاعِدًا فَصَاعِدًا، لِأَنَّ مُحِيطَ ٱلْبَيْتِ كَانَ صَاعِدًا فَصَاعِدًا حَوْلَ ٱلْبَيْتِ. لِذَلِكَ عَرْضُ ٱلْبَيْتِ إِلَى فَوْقُ، وَهَكَذَا مِنَ ٱلْأَسْفَلِ يُصْعَدُ إِلَى ٱلْأَعْلَى فِي ٱلْوَسْطِ.

The side rooms around the Temple became wider at each higher level, because as the structure around the Temple went up the Temple wall grew narrower A stairway provided access from the bottom story to the top, going through the middle level.

٨ 8 وَرَأَيْتُ سَمْكَ ٱلْبَيْتِ حَوَالَيْهِ. أُسُسُ ٱلْغُرُفَاتِ قَصَبَةٌ تَامَّةٌ سِتُّ أَذْرُعٍ إِلَى ٱلْمَفْصَلِ.

I saw that the Temple was on a raised platform that surrounded it. This was the foundation for the side rooms. Its height was the complete length of a measuring rod, six long cubits.

٩ 9 عَرْضُ ٱلْحَائِطِ ٱلَّذِي لِلْغُرْفَةِ مِنْ خَارِجٍ خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ، وَمَا بَقِيَ فَفَسْحَةٌ لِغُرُفَاتِ ٱلْبَيْتِ.

The thickness of the outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits, and there was open space between the side rooms of the Temple

١٠ 10 وَبَيْنَ ٱلْمَخَادِعِ عَرْضُ عِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعًا حَوْلَ ٱلْبَيْتِ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ.

and the outer chambers that measured twenty cubits wide all round the Temple.

١١ 11 وَمَدْخَلُ ٱلْغُرْفَةِ فِي ٱلْفَسْحَةِ مَدْخَلٌ وَاحِدٌ نَحْوَ ٱلشِّمَالِ، وَمَدْخَلٌ آخَرُ نَحْوَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ. وَعَرْضُ مَكَانِ ٱلْفَسْحَةِ خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ حَوَالَيْهِ.

The doors of the side rooms opened into this area, with one entrance to the north and another one to the south. The open space was five cubits wide on each side.

١٢ 12 وَٱلْبِنَاءُ ٱلَّذِي أَمَامَ ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلْمُنْفَصِلِ عِنْدَ ٱلطَّرَفِ نَحْوَ ٱلْغَرْبِ سَبْعُونَ ذِرَاعًا عَرْضًا، وَحَائِطِ ٱلْبِنَاءِ خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ عَرْضًا مِنْ حَوْلِهِ، وَطُولُهُ تِسْعُونَ ذِرَاعًا.

Another building faced the Temple courtyard on the west side. It measured seventy cubits wide and ninety cubits long, with walls all the way round that were five cubits thick.

١٣ 13 وَقَاسَ ٱلْبَيْتَ مِئَةَ ذِرَاعٍ طُولًا، وَٱلْمَكَانَ ٱلْمُنْفَصِلَ وَٱلْبِنَاءَ مَعَ حِيطَانِهِ مِئَةَ ذِرَاعٍ طُولًا.

He measured the Temple as one hundred cubits long. The Temple courtyard and the building including its walls were also one hundred cubits long.

١٤ 14 وَعَرْضَ وَجْهِ ٱلْبَيْتِ وَٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلْمُنْفَصِلِ نَحْوَ ٱلشَّرْقِ مِئَةَ ذِرَاعٍ.

The Temple courtyard on the east side, (including the front of the Temple), was one hundred cubits wide.

١٥ 15 وَقَاسَ طُولَ ٱلْبِنَاءِ إِلَى قُدَّامِ ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلْمُنْفَصِلِ ٱلَّذِي وَرَاءَهُ وَأَسَاطِينَهُ مِنْ جَانِبٍ إِلَى جَانِبٍ مِئَةَ ذِرَاعٍ. مَعَ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ ٱلدَّاخِلِيِّ وَأَرْوِقَةِ ٱلدَّارِ.

He measured the length of the building that faced the Temple courtyard towards the rear of the Temple, including its open halls on each side. It was one hundred cubits long. The outer sanctuary, the inner sanctuary, and the porches facing the courtyard,

١٦ 16 ٱلْعَتَبَاتُ وَٱلْكُوَى ٱلْمُشَبَّكَةُ وَٱلْأَسَاطِينُ حَوَالَيِ ٱلطَّبَقَاتِ ٱلثَّلَاثِ مُقَابِلُ ٱلْعَتَبَةِ مِنْ أَلْوَاحِ خَشَبٍ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ، وَمِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَى ٱلْكُوَى -وَالْكُوَى مُغَطَّاةٌ-

as well as the thresholds and the narrow windows and the surrounding open halls with their three levels up to and including the threshold, were covered with wood on every side. This extended from the ground up to and including the windows.

١٧ 17 إِلَى مَا فَوْقَ ٱلْمَدْخَلِ، وَإِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلدَّاخِلِيِّ وَإِلَى ٱلْخَارِجِ، وَإِلَى ٱلْحَائِطِ كُلِّهِ حَوَالَيْهِ مِنْ دَاخِلٍ وَمِنْ خَارِجٍ بِهَذِهِ ٱلْأَقْيِسَةِ.

On the outside of all the walls by the entrance to the inner sanctuary, spaced at regular intervals around the inner and outer sanctuary,

١٨ 18 وَعُمِلَ فِيهِ كَرُوبِيمُ وَنَخِيلٌ. نَخْلَةٌ بَيْنَ كَرُوبٍ وَكَرُوبٍ، وَلِكُلِّ كَرُوبٍ وَجْهَانِ.

were carved designs of cherubim and palm trees. Every cherub had two faces:

١٩ 19 فَوَجْهُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ نَحْوَ نَخْلَةٍ مِنْ هُنَا، وَوَجْهُ ٱلشِّبْلِ نَحْوَ نَخْلَةٍ مِنْ هُنَالِكَ. عُمِلَ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْبَيْتِ حَوَالَيْهِ.

a man's face looked in the direction of a palm tree on one side, and the face of a young lion looked in the direction of the palm tree on the other side. These carvings extended the whole way round the Temple.

٢٠ 20 مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَى مَا فَوْقَ ٱلْمَدْخَلِ عُمِلَ كَرُوبِيمُ وَنَخِيلٌ، وَعَلَى حَائِطِ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ.

Designs of cherubim and palm trees were carved on the Temple wall from the floor up to the space above the doorway.

٢١ 21 وَقَوَائِمُ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ مُرَبَّعَةٌ، وَوَجْهُ ٱلْقُدْسِ مَنْظَرُهُ كَمَنْظَرِ وَجْهِ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ.

The Temple's doorframe was rectangular, as was the doorframe of the sanctuary.

٢٢ 22 اَلْمَذْبَحُ مِنْ خَشَبٍ ثَلَاثُ أَذْرُعٍ ٱرْتِفَاعًا، وَطُولُهُ ذِرَاعَانِ، وَزَوَايَاهُ وَطُولُهُ وَحِيطَانُهُ مِنْ خَشَبٍ. وَقَالَ لِي: «هَذِهِ ٱلْمَائِدَةُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ».

An altar made of wood stood there, three cubits high and two cubits by long. All of it—its corners, base, and sides—were made of wood. The man told me, “This is the table that stands before the Lord.”

٢٣ 23 وَلِلْهَيْكَلِ وَلِلْقُدْسِ بَابَانِ.

The Temple and the sanctuary both had hinged double doors.

٢٤ 24 وَلِلْبَابَيْنِ مِصْرَاعَانِ، مِصْرَاعَانِ يَنْطَوِيَانِ. مِصْرَاعَانِ لِلْبَابِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ وَمِصْرَاعَانِ لِلْبَابِ ٱلْآخَرِ.

Each door had two panels that opened. There were two panels for one door, and two panels for the other door.

٢٥ 25 وَعُمِلَ عَلَيْهَا عَلَى مَصَارِيعِ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ كَرُوبِيمُ وَنَخِيلٌ كَمَا عُمِلَ عَلَى ٱلْحِيطَانِ، وَغِشَاءٌ مِنْ خَشَبٍ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلرِّوَاقِ مِنْ خَارِجٍ،

There were carvings of cherubim and palm trees on the Temple doors like those on the walls, and there was a wooden roof that covered the outside part of the porch at the front.

٢٦ 26 وَكُوًى مُشَبَّكَةٌ وَنَخِيلٌ مِنْ هُنَا وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ عَلَى جَوَانِبِ ٱلرِّوَاقِ وَعَلَى غُرُفَاتِ ٱلْبَيْتِ وَعَلَى ٱلْأُسْكُفَّاتِ.

There were narrow windows and palm tree designs on the walls of the porch. The side rooms of the Temple also had roofs.
