حِزْقِيَال 43

١ 1 ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ بِي إِلَى ٱلْبَابِ، ٱلْبَابِ ٱلْمُتَّجِهِ نَحْوَ ٱلشَّرْقِ.

And he causes me to go to the gate, the gate that is looking eastward.

٢ 2 وَإِذَا بِمَجْدِ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ جَاءَ مِنْ طَرِيقِ ٱلشَّرْقِ وَصَوْتُهُ كَصَوْتِ مِيَاهٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، وَٱلْأَرْضُ أَضَاءَتْ مِنْ مَجْدِهِ.

And behold, the glory of the God of Israel has come from the way of the east, and His voice [is] as the noise of many waters, and the earth has shone from His glory.

٣ 3 وَٱلْمَنْظَرُ كَٱلْمَنْظَرِ ٱلَّذِي رَأَيْتُهُ، كَٱلْمَنْظَرِ ٱلَّذِي رَأَيْتُهُ لَمَّا جِئْتُ لِأُخْرِبَ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ، وَٱلْمَنَاظِرُ كَٱلْمَنْظَرِ ٱلَّذِي رَأَيْتُ عِنْدَ نَهْرِ خَابُورَ، فَخَرَرْتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي.

And according to the appearance [is] the appearance that I saw, as the appearance that I saw in my coming in to destroy the city, and the appearances [are] as the appearance that I saw at the river Chebar, and I fall on my face.

٤ 4 فَجَاءَ مَجْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ مِنْ طَرِيقِ ٱلْبَابِ ٱلْمُتَّجِهِ نَحْوَ ٱلشَّرْقِ.

And the glory of YHWH has come into the house, the way of the gate whose face [is] eastward.

٥ 5 فَحَمَلَنِي رُوحٌ وَأَتَى بِي إِلَى ٱلدَّارِ ٱلدَّاخِلِيَّةِ، وَإِذَا بِمَجْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ قَدْ مَلَأَ ٱلْبَيْتَ،

And [the] Spirit takes me up, and brings me into the inner court, and behold, the glory of YHWH has filled the house.

٦ 6 وَسَمِعْتُهُ يُكَلِّمُنِي مِنَ ٱلْبَيْتِ، وَكَانَ رَجُلٌ وَاقِفًا عِنْدِي.

And I hear one speaking to me from the house, and a man has been standing near me,

٧ 7 وَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، هَذَا مَكَانُ كُرْسِيِّي وَمَكَانُ بَاطِنِ قَدَمَيَّ حَيْثُ أَسْكُنُ فِي وَسْطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، وَلَا يُنَجِّسُ بَعْدُ بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱسْمِي ٱلْقُدُّوسَ، لَا هُمْ وَلَا مُلُوكُهُمْ، لَا بِزِنَاهُمْ وَلَا بِجُثَثِ مُلُوكِهِمْ فِي مُرْتَفَعَاتِهِمْ.

and He says to me: “Son of man, the place of My throne, And the place of the soles of My feet, Where I dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel for all time, The house of Israel defiles My holy Name no longer, They, and their kings, by their whoredom, And by the carcasses of their kings—their high places.

٨ 8 بِجَعْلِهِمْ عَتَبَتَهُمْ لَدَى عَتَبَتِي، وَقَوَائِمَهُمْ لَدَى قَوَائِمِي، وَبَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ حَائِطٌ، فَنَجَّسُوا ٱسْمِي ٱلْقُدُّوسَ بِرَجَاسَاتِهِمِ ٱلَّتِي فَعَلُوهَا، فَأَفْنَيْتُهُمْ بِغَضَبِي.

In their putting their threshold with My threshold, And their doorpost near My doorpost, And the wall between Me and them, And they have defiled My holy Name, By their abominations that they have done, And I consume them in My anger.

٩ 9 فَلْيُبْعِدُوا عَنِّي ٱلْآنَ زِنَاهُمْ وَجُثَثَ مُلُوكِهِمْ فَأَسْكُنَ فِي وَسْطِهِمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

Now they put their whoredom far off, And the carcasses of their kings—from Me, And I have dwelt in their midst for all time.

١٠ 10 «وَأَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، فَأَخْبِرْ بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنِ ٱلْبَيْتِ لِيَخْزَوْا مِنْ آثَامِهِمْ، وَلْيَقِيسُوا ٱلرَّسْمَ.

You, son of man, Show the house of Israel the house, And they are ashamed of their iniquities, And they have measured the measurement.

١١ 11 فَإِنْ خَزُوا مِنْ كُلِّ مَا فَعَلُوهُ، فَعَرِّفْهُمْ صُورَةَ ٱلْبَيْتِ وَرَسْمَهُ وَمَخَارِجَهُ وَمَدَاخِلَهُ وَكُلَّ أَشْكَالِهِ وَكُلَّ فَرَائِضِهِ وَكُلَّ أَشْكَالِهِ وَكُلَّ شَرَائِعِهِ، وَٱكْتُبْ ذَلِكَ قُدَّامَ أَعْيُنِهِمْ لِيَحْفَظُوا كُلَّ رُسُومِهِ وَكُلَّ فَرَائِضِهِ وَيَعْمَلُوا بِهَا.

And since they have been ashamed of all that they have done, The form of the house, and its measurement, And its outlets, and its inlets, and all its forms, And all its statutes, even all its forms, And all its laws—cause them to know, And write [it] before their eyes, And they observe all its forms, And all its statutes, and have done them.

١٢ 12 هَذِهِ سُنَّةُ ٱلْبَيْتِ: عَلَى رَأْسِ ٱلْجَبَلِ كُلُّ تُخْمِهِ حَوَالَيْهِ قُدْسُ أَقْدَاسٍ. هَذِهِ هِيَ سُنَّةُ ٱلْبَيْتِ.

This [is] a law of the house: on the top of the mountain, all its border all around [is] most holy; behold, this [is] a law of the house.

١٣ 13 «وَهَذِهِ أَقْيِسَةُ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ بِٱلْأَذْرُعِ، وَٱلذِّرَاعُ هِيَ ذِرَاعٌ وَفِتْرٌ: ٱلْحِضْنُ ذِرَاعٌ، وَٱلْعَرْضُ ذِرَاعٌ، وَحَاشِيَتُهُ إِلَى شَفَتِهِ حَوَالَيْهِ شِبْرٌ وَاحِدٌ. هَذَا ظَهْرُ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ.

And these [are] measurements of the altar by cubits: the cubit [is] a cubit and a handbreadth, and the center [is] a cubit, and the breadth a cubit; and its border on its edge around [is] one span, and this [is] the upper part of the altar.

١٤ 14 وَمِنَ ٱلْحِضْنِ عِنْدَ ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَى ٱلْخُصْمِ ٱلْأَسْفَلِ ذِرَاعَانِ، وَٱلْعَرْضُ ذِرَاعٌ. وَمِنَ ٱلْخُصْمِ ٱلْأَصْغَرِ إِلَى ٱلْخُصْمِ ٱلْأَكْبَرِ أَرْبَعُ أَذْرُعٍ، وَٱلْعَرْضُ ذِرَاعٌ.

And from the center of the ground to the lower border [is] two cubits, and the breadth—one cubit, and from the lesser border to the greater border—four cubits, and the breadth a cubit.

١٥ 15 وَٱلْمَوْقِدُ أَرْبَعُ أَذْرُعٍ. وَمِنَ ٱلْمَوْقِدِ إِلَى فَوْقُ أَرْبَعَةُ قُرُونٍ.

And the altar [is] four cubits, and from the altar and upward [are] four horns.

١٦ 16 وَٱلْمَوْقِدُ ٱثْنَتَا عَشَرَةَ طُولًا، بِٱثْنَتَيْ عَشَرَةَ عَرْضًا، مُرَبَّعًا عَلَى جَوَانِبِهِ ٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ.

And the altar [is] twelve long by twelve broad, square in its four sides.

١٧ 17 وَٱلْخُصْمُ أَرْبَعَ عَشَرَةَ طُولًا بِأَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ عَرْضًا عَلَى جَوَانِبِهِ ٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ. وَٱلْحَاشِيَةُ حَوَالَيْهِ نِصْفُ ذِرَاعٍ، وَحِضْنُهُ ذِرَاعٌ حَوَالَيْهِ، وَدَرَجَاتُهُ تُجَاهَ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ».

And the border [is] fourteen long by fourteen broad, at its four sides, and the border around it [is] half a cubit, and the center of it [is] a cubit around, and its steps are looking eastward.”

١٨ 18 وَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَذِهِ فَرَائِضُ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ يَوْمَ صُنْعِهِ لِإِصْعَادِ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةِ عَلَيْهِ وَلِرَشِّ ٱلدَّمِ عَلَيْهِ:

And He says to me, “Son of man, thus said Lord YHWH: These [are] statutes of the altar in the day of its being made to cause burnt-offering to go up on it, and to sprinkle blood on it.

١٩ 19 فَتُعْطِي ٱلْكَهَنَةَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِنْ نَسْلِ صَادُوقَ ٱلْمُقْتَرِبِينَ إِلَيَّ لِيَخْدِمُونِي، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، ثَوْرًا مِنَ ٱلْبَقَرِ لِذَبِيحَةِ خَطِيَّةٍ.

And you have given to the priests, the Levites—who [are] of the seed of Zadok, who are near to Me, a declaration of Lord YHWH, to serve Me—a calf from the herd, for a sin-offering.

٢٠ 20 وَتَأْخُذُ مِنْ دَمِهِ وَتَضَعُهُ عَلَى قُرُونِهِ ٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ، وَعَلَى أَرْبَعِ زَوَايَا ٱلْخُصْمِ وَعَلَى ٱلْحَاشِيَةِ حَوَالَيْهَا، فَتُطَهِّرُهُ وَتُكَفِّرُ عَنْهُ.

And you have taken of its blood, and have put it on its four horns, and on the four corners of its border, and on the border all around, and have cleansed it, and purified it.

٢١ 21 وَتَأْخُذُ ثَوْرَ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ فَيُحْرَقُ فِي ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلْمُعَيَّنِ مِنَ ٱلْبَيْتِ خَارِجَ ٱلْمَقْدِسِ.

And you have taken the bullock of the sin-offering, and have burned it in the appointed place of the house at the outside of the sanctuary.

٢٢ 22 وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّانِي تُقَرِّبُ تَيْسًا مِنَ ٱلْمَعْزِ صَحِيحًا ذَبِيحَةَ خَطِيَّةٍ، فَيُطَهِّرُونَ ٱلْمَذْبَحَ كَمَا طَهَّرُوهُ بِٱلثَّوْرِ.

And on the second day you bring a kid of the goats near, a perfect one, for a sin-offering, and they have cleansed the altar, as they cleansed [it] for the bullock.

٢٣ 23 وَإِذَا أَكْمَلْتَ ٱلتَّطْهِيرَ، تُقَرِّبُ ثَوْرًا مِنَ ٱلْبَقَرِ صَحِيحًا، وَكَبْشًا مِنَ ٱلضَّأْنِ صَحِيحًا.

In your finishing cleansing, you bring a calf near, a son of the herd, a perfect one, and a ram out of the flock, a perfect one.

٢٤ 24 وَتُقَرِّبُهُمَا قُدَّامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَيُلْقِي عَلَيْهِمَا ٱلْكَهَنَةُ مِلْحًا وَيُصْعِدُونَهُمَا مُحْرَقَةً لِلرَّبِّ.

And you have brought them near before YHWH, and the priests have cast salt on them, and have caused them to go up, a burnt-offering to YHWH.

٢٥ 25 سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ تَعْمَلُ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ تَيْسَ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ. وَيَعْمَلُونَ ثَوْرًا مِنَ ٱلْبَقَرِ وَكَبْشًا مِنَ ٱلضَّأْنِ صَحِيحَيْنِ.

[For] seven days you prepare a goat daily for a sin-offering; and they also prepare a bullock, a son of the herd, and a ram out of the flock—perfect ones.

٢٦ 26 سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ يُكَفِّرُونَ عَنِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ وَيُطَهِّرُونَهُ وَيَمْلَأُونَ يَدَهُ.

[For] seven days they purify the altar, and have cleansed it, and filled their hand.

٢٧ 27 فَإِذَا تَمَّتْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَيَّامُ يَكُونُ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّامِنِ فَصَاعِدًا أَنَّ ٱلْكَهَنَةَ يَعْمَلُونَ عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ مُحْرَقَاتِكُمْ وَذَبَائِحَكُمْ ٱلسَّلَامِيَّةَ، فَأَرْضَى عَنْكُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ».

And the days are completed, and it has come to pass on the eighth day, and from now on, the priests prepare your burnt-offerings and your peace-offerings on the altar, and I have accepted you—a declaration of Lord YHWH.”
