حِزْقِيَال 42

١ 1 وَأَخْرَجَنِي إِلَى ٱلدَّارِ ٱلْخَارِجِيَّةِ مِنْ طَرِيقِ جِهَةِ ٱلشِّمَالِ، وَأَدْخَلَنِي إِلَى ٱلْمِخْدَعِ ٱلَّذِي هُوَ تُجَاهَ ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلْمُنْفَصِلِ، وَٱلَّذِي هُوَ قُدَّامَ ٱلْبِنَاءِ إِلَى ٱلشِّمَالِ.

Next the man sent me out to the outer courtyard on the north side, and he brought me to rooms in front of the outer courtyard and the northern outer wall.

٢ 2 إِلَى قُدَّامِ طُولِ مِئَةِ ذِرَاعٍ مَدْخَلُ ٱلشِّمَالِ، وَٱلْعَرْضُ خَمْسُونَ ذِرَاعًا.

Those rooms were one hundred cubits along their front and fifty cubits in width.

٣ 3 تُجَاهَ ٱلْعِشْرِينَ ٱلَّتِي لِلدَّارِ ٱلدَّاخِلِيَّةِ، وَتُجَاهَ ٱلْمُجَزَّعِ ٱلَّذِي لِلدَّارِ ٱلْخَارِجِيَّةِ أُسْطُوَانَةٌ تُجَاهَ أُسْطُوَانَةٍ فِي ٱلطَّبَقَاتِ ٱلثَّلَاثِ.

Some of those rooms faced the inner courtyard and were twenty cubits away from the sanctuary. There were three levels of rooms, and the ones above looked down on the ones below and were open to them, having a walkway. Some of the rooms looked out onto the outer courtyard.

٤ 4 وَأَمَامَ ٱلْمَخَادِعِ مَمْشًى عَشَرُ أَذْرُعٍ عَرْضًا. وَإِلَى ٱلدَّاخِلِيَّةِ طَرِيقٌ، ذِرَاعٌ وَاحِدَةٌ عَرْضًا وَأَبْوَابُهَا نَحْوَ ٱلشِّمَالِ.

A passage ten cubits in width and one hundred cubits in length ran in front of the rooms. The rooms' doors were toward the north.

٥ 5 وَٱلْمَخَادِعُ ٱلْعُلْيَا أَقْصَرُ. لِأَنَّ ٱلْأَسَاطِينَ أَكَلَتْ مِنْ هَذِهِ. مِنْ أَسَافِلِ ٱلْبِنَاءِ وَمِنْ أَوَاسِطِهِ.

But the upper halls were smaller, for the walkways took away from them more space than they did in the lowest and middle levels of the building.

٦ 6 لِأَنَّهَا ثَلَاثُ طَبَقَاتٍ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهَا أَعْمِدَةٌ كَأَعْمِدَةِ ٱلدُّورِ، لِذَلِكَ تَضِيقُ مِنَ ٱلْأَسَافِلِ وَمِنَ ٱلْأَوَاسِطِ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

For the halls on the third story had no columns, unlike the courtyards, which did have columns. So the highest level's rooms were smaller in size compared to the rooms in the lowest and middle levels.

٧ 7 وَٱلْحَائِطُ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ خَارِجٍ مَعَ ٱلْمَخَادِعِ نَحْوَ ٱلدَّارِ ٱلْخَارِجِيَّةِ إِلَى قُدَّامِ ٱلْمَخَادِعِ، طُولُهُ خَمْسُونَ ذِرَاعًا.

The outside wall ran along the rooms toward the outer courtyard, the courtyard that was in front of the rooms. That wall was fifty cubits in length.

٨ 8 لِأَنَّ طُولَ ٱلْمَخَادِعِ ٱلَّتِي لِلدَّارِ ٱلْخَارِجِيَّةِ خَمْسُونَ ذِرَاعًا. وَهُوَذَا أَمَامَ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ مِئَةُ ذِرَاعٍ.

The length of the rooms of the outer courtyard was fifty cubits, and the rooms facing the sanctuary were one hundred cubits in length.

٩ 9 وَمِنْ تَحْتِ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَخَادِعِ مَدْخَلٌ مِنَ ٱلشَّرْقِ مِنْ حَيْثُ يُدْخَلُ إِلَيْهَا مِنَ ٱلدَّارِ ٱلْخَارِجِيَّةِ.

There was an entrance to the lowest rooms from the east side, coming from the outer courtyard.

١٠ 10 اَلْمَخَادِعُ كَانَتْ فِي عَرْضِ جِدَارِ ٱلدَّارِ نَحْوَ ٱلشَّرْقِ قُدَّامَ ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلْمُنْفَصِلِ وَقُبَالَةَ ٱلْبِنَاءِ.

Along the wall of the outer courtyard on the eastern side of the outer courtyard, in front of the sanctuary's inner courtyard, there were also rooms

١١ 11 وَأَمَامَهَا طَرِيقٌ كَمِثْلِ ٱلْمَخَادِعِ ٱلَّتِي نَحْوَ ٱلشِّمَالِ، كَطُولِهَا هَكَذَا عَرْضُهَا وَجَمِيعُ مَخَارِجِهَا وَكَأَشْكَالِهَا وَكَأَبْوَابِهَا،

with a walkway in front of them. They were as the appearance of the rooms on the northern side. They had the same length and breadth and the same exits and arrangements and doors.

١٢ 12 وَكَأَبْوَابِ ٱلْمَخَادِعِ ٱلَّتِي نَحْوَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ بَابٌ عَلَى رَأْسِ ٱلطَّرِيقِ. ٱلطَّرِيقِ أَمَامَ ٱلْجِدَارِ ٱلْمُوافِقِ نَحْوَ ٱلشَّرْقِ مِنْ حَيْثُ يُدْخَلُ إِلَيْهَا.

On the south side were doors into rooms that were just the same as on the north side. A passage on the inside had a door at its head, and the passage opened into the various rooms. On the east side there was a doorway into the passage at one end.

١٣ 13 وَقَالَ لِي: «مَخَادِعُ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَمَخَادِعُ ٱلْجَنُوبِ ٱلَّتِي أَمَامَ ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلْمُنْفَصِلِ هِيَ مَخَادِعُ مُقَدَّسَةٌ، حَيْثُ يَأْكُلُ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَقَرَّبُونَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ قُدْسَ ٱلْأَقْدَاسِ. هُنَاكَ يَضَعُونَ قُدْسَ ٱلْأَقْدَاسِ وَٱلتَّقْدِمَةَ وَذَبِيحَةَ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ وَذَبِيحَةَ ٱلْإِثْمِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمَكَانَ مُقَدَّسٌ.

Then the man said to me, “The northern rooms and the southern rooms that are in front of the outer courtyard are holy rooms where the priests who work nearest to Yahweh may eat the most holy food. They will put the most holy things there—the food offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering—for this is a holy place.

١٤ 14 عِنْدَ دُخُولِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ لَا يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلْقُدْسِ إِلَى ٱلدَّارِ ٱلْخَارِجِيَّةِ، بَلْ يَضَعُونَ هُنَاكَ ثِيَابَهُمُ ٱلَّتِي يَخْدِمُونَ بِهَا لِأَنَّهَا مُقَدَّسَةٌ، وَيَلْبَسُونَ ثِيَابًا غَيْرَهَا وَيَتَقَدَّمُونَ إِلَى مَا هُوَ لِلشَّعْبِ».

When the priests enter there, they must not go out of the holy place to the outer court, without laying aside the clothes in which they served, since these are holy. So they must dress in other clothes before going near the people.”

١٥ 15 فَلَمَّا أَتَمَّ قِيَاسَ ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلدَّاخِلِيِّ، أَخْرَجَنِي نَحْوَ ٱلْبَابِ ٱلْمُتَّجِهِ نَحْوَ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَقَاسَهُ حَوَالَيْهِ.

The man completed measuring the inner house and then took me out to the gate that faced the east and measured all the surrounding area there.

١٦ 16 قَاسَ جَانِبَ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ بِقَصَبَةِ ٱلْقِيَاسِ، خَمْسَ مِئَةِ قَصَبَةٍ بِقَصَبَةِ ٱلْقِيَاسِ حَوَالَيْهِ.

He measured the east side with a measuring stick—five hundred cubits with the measuring stick.

١٧ 17 وَقَاسَ جَانِبَ ٱلشِّمَالِ، خَمْسَ مِئَةِ قَصَبَةٍ بِقَصَبَةِ ٱلْقِيَاسِ حَوَالَيْهِ.

He measured the north side—five hundred cubits with the measuring stick.

١٨ 18 وَقَاسَ جَانِبَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ، خَمْسَ مِئَةِ قَصَبَةٍ بِقَصَبَةِ ٱلْقِيَاسِ.

He also measured the south side—five hundred cubits with the measuring stick.

١٩ 19 ثُمَّ دَارَ إِلَى جَانِبِ ٱلْغَرْبِ وَقَاسَ خَمْسَ مِئَةِ قَصَبَةٍ بِقَصَبَةِ ٱلْقِيَاسِ.

He also turned and measured the west side—five hundred cubits with the measuring stick.

٢٠ 20 قَاسَهُ مِنَ ٱلْجَوَانِبِ ٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ. لَهُ سُورٌ حَوَالَيْهِ خَمْسُ مِئَةٍ طُولًا، وَخَمْسُ مِئَةٍ عَرْضًا، لِلْفَصْلِ بَيْنَ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ وَٱلْمُحَلَّلِ.

He measured it on four sides. It had a wall around it that was five hundred cubits in length, and five hundred cubits in width, to separate the holy from that which is common.
