حِزْقِيال 41

١ 1 وَأَحْضَرَنِي إِلَى الْهَيْكَلِ ثُمَّ قَاسَ الْعَضَائِدَ فَكَانَ عَرْضُهَا فِي كُلِّ جَانِبٍ سِتَّ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ أَمْتَارٍ) مُمَاثِلاً لِعَرْضِ الْخَيْمَةِ.

Then the man brought me into the outer sanctuary and measured the side pillars to be six cubits wide on each side.

٢ 2 أَمَّا عَرْضُ الْمَدْخَلِ فَكَانَ عَشَرَةَ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ أَمْتَارٍ)، كَمَا كَانَ عَرْضُ كُلٍّ مِنْ جَانِبَيِ الْمَدْخَلِ خَمْسَ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ). ثُمَّ قَاسَ الْهَيْكَلَ فَكَانَ طُولُهُ أَرْبَعِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ عِشْرِينَ مِتْراً)، وَعَرْضُهُ عِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ عَشَرَةِ أَمْتَارٍ).

The width of the entrance was ten cubits, and the sides of the entrance were five cubits on each side. He also measured the length of the outer sanctuary to be forty cubits, and the width to be twenty cubits.

٣ 3 ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ مِنَ الدَّاخِلِ وَقَاسَ عَضَادَةَ الْمَدْخَلِ، فَكَانَتْ ذِرَاعَيْنِ (نَحْوَ مِتْرٍ) أَمَّا الْمَدْخَلُ نَفْسُهُ فَكَانَ طُولُهُ سِتَّ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ أَمْتَارٍ)، وَعَرْضُهُ سَبْعَ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ أَمْتَارٍ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)،

And he went into the inner sanctuary and measured the side pillars at the entrance to be two cubits wide. The entrance was six cubits wide, and the walls on each side were seven cubits wide.

٤ 4 وَقَاسَ الدَّاخِلَ فَكَانَ كُلٌّ مِنْ طُولِهِ وَعَرْضِهِ عِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ عَشَرَةِ أَمْتَارٍ) بِاتِّجَاهِ الْقُدْسِ. وَقَالَ لِي: «هَذَا هُوَ قُدْسُ الأَقْدَاسِ»

Then he measured the room adjacent to the inner sanctuary to be twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. And he said to me, “This is the Most Holy Place.”

٥ 5 وَقَاسَ حَائِطَ الْهَيْكَلِ فَكَانَ سُمْكُهُ سِتَّ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ أَمْتَارٍ)، وَعَرْضُ كُلِّ حُجْرَةٍ مِنَ الْحُجُرَاتِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِالْهَيْكَلِ أَرْبَعَ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ).

Next he measured the wall of the temple to be six cubits thick, and the width of each side room around the temple was four cubits.

٦ 6 وَكَانَتِ الْحُجُرَاتُ مُؤَلَّفَةً مِنْ ثَلاثِ طَبَقَاتٍ، فِي كُلِّ طَبَقَةٍ ثَلاثُونَ حُجْرَةً. كُلُّ حُجْرَةٍ مَبْنِيَّةٌ فَوْقَ أُخْتِهَا. وَكَانَتِ الْحُجُرَاتُ دَاخِلاتٍ فِي الْحَائِطِ الْمُحِيطِ بِالْهَيْكَلِ لِتَعْتَمِدَ عَلَيْهِ وَلا تَعْتَمِدَ عَلَى حَائِطِ الْهَيْكَلِ نَفْسِهِ.

The side rooms were arranged one above another in three levels of thirty rooms each. There were ledges all around the wall of the temple to serve as supports for the side rooms, so that the supports would not be fastened into the wall of the temple itself.

٧ 7 وَكَانَتِ الْحُجُرَاتُ الْجَانِبِيَّةُ هَذِهِ تَتَّسِعُ مِنْ طَابِقٍ إِلَى طَابِقٍ وَفْقاً لاِتِّسَاعِ كُلِّ طَابِقٍ مُحِيطٍ بِالْهَيْكَلِ، لِهَذَا كَانَ الْمَرْءُ يَصْعَدُ مِنْ أَسْفَلِ طَابِقٍ إِلَى أَعْلَى طَابِقٍ عَنْ طَرِيقِ الطَّابِقِ الأَوْسَطِ.

The side rooms surrounding the temple widened at each successive level, because the structure surrounding the temple ascended by stages corresponding to the narrowing of the temple wall as it rose upward. And so a stairway went up from the lowest story to the highest, through the middle one.

٨ 8 وَرَأَيْتُ أَنَّ لِلْهَيْكَلِ رَصِيفاً سَمِيكاً عَلَى امْتِدَادِ مُحِيطِهِ. وَكَانَ مَقَاسُ الْحُجُرَاتِ الْجَانِبِيَّةِ قَصَبَةً كَامِلَةً أَيْ سِتَّ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ أَمْتَارٍ) إِلَى الْمَفْصَلِ.

I saw that the temple had a raised base all around it, forming the foundation of the side rooms. It was the full length of a rod, six long cubits.

٩ 9 وَسُمْكُ حَائِطِ الْحُجُرَاتِ مِنْ خَارِجٍ خَمْسَ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ). وَمَا تَبَقَّى هُوَ فَسْحَةٌ لِحُجُرَاتِ الْهَيْكَلِ.

The outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits thick, and the open area between the side rooms of the temple

١٠ 10 وَمَا بَيْنَ الرَّصِيفِ وَالْمَخَادِعِ عِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ عَشَرَةِ أَمْتَارٍ) عَلَى امْتِدَادِ مُحِيطِ الْهَيْكَلِ الْخَارِجِيِّ.

and the outer chambers was twenty cubits wide all around the temple.

١١ 11 وَكَانَ لِلْحُجُرَاتِ الْجَانِبِيَّةِ الْمُطِلَّةِ عَلَى الْفَسْحَةِ مَدْخَلانِ: مَدْخَلٌ بِاتِّجَاهِ الشِّمَالِ، وَمَدْخَلٌ آخَرُ بِاتِّجَاهِ الْجَنُوبِ. وَكَانَ عَرْضُ هَذِهِ الْفَسْحَةِ خَمْسَ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ) عَلَى امْتِدَادِ مُحِيطِ الْهَيْكَلِ.

The side rooms opened into this area, with one entrance on the north and another on the south. The open area was five cubits wide all around.

١٢ 12 وَكَانَ عَرْضُ الْبِنَاءِ الْمُوَاجِهِ لِسَاحَةِ الْهَيْكَلِ نَحْوَ الْغَرْبِ سَبْعِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَثَلاثِينَ مِتْراً) وَسُمْكُ حَائِطِ الْبِنَاءِ عَلَى امْتِدَادِ مُحِيطِهِ خَمْسَ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ).

Now the building that faced the temple courtyard on the west was seventy cubits wide, and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, with a length of ninety cubits.

١٣ 13 ثُمَّ قَاسَ الْهَيْكَلَ فَكَانَ طُولُهُ مِئَةَ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسِينَ مِتْراً) كَمَا كَانَ طُولُ السَّاحَةِ وَالْبِنَاءِ مَعَ جُدْرَانِهِ مِئَةَ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسِينَ مِتْراً).

Then he measured the temple to be a hundred cubits long, and the temple courtyard and the building with its walls were also a hundred cubits long.

١٤ 14 وَكَذَلِكَ عَرْضُ الْوَاجِهَةِ الشَّرْقِيَّةِ لِلْهَيْكَلِ مَعَ السَّاحَةِ كَانَ مِئَةَ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسِينَ مِتْراً).

The width of the temple courtyard on the east, including the front of the temple, was a hundred cubits.

١٥ 15 ثُمَّ قَاسَ طُولَ الْبِنَاءِ الْمُوَاجِهِ لِلسَّاحَةِ الْخَلْفِيَّةِ بِاتِّجَاهِ الْغَرْبِ مَعَ أَسَاطِينِهِ، فَكَانَ مِئَةَ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسِينَ مِتْراً). مَعَ الْهَيْكَلِ الدَّاخِلِيِّ وَأَرْوِقَتِهِ.

Next he measured the length of the building facing the temple courtyard at the rear of the temple, including its galleries on each side; it was a hundred cubits. The outer sanctuary, the inner sanctuary, and the porticoes facing the court,

١٦ 16 وَكَانَتِ الْعَتَبَاتُ وَالْكُوَى الْمُشَبَّكَةُ وَالأَسَاطِينُ الْمُحِيطَةُ بِالطَّبَقَاتِ الثَّلاثِ مُقَابِلُ الْعَتَبَةِ، وَكَانَتْ مِنَ الأَرْضِ إِلَى الْكُوَى، وَالْكُوَى نَفْسُهَا، كُلُّهَا مُغَطَّاةً بِأَلْوَاحِ الْخَشَبِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ جَوَانِبِهَا.

as well as the thresholds and the beveled windows and the galleries all around with their three levels opposite the threshold, were overlaid with wood on all sides. They were paneled from the ground to the windows, and the windows were covered.

١٧ 17 وَكَذَلِكَ مَا فَوْقَ الْمَدْخَلِ وَدَاخِلُ الْهَيْكَلِ وَخَارِجُهُ، وَمُحِيطُ الْجِدَارِ مِنْ جَانِبَيْهِ الدَّاخِلِيِّ وَالْخَارِجِيِّ بِمُوْجِبِ الأَقْيِسَةِ الْمُعَيَّنَةِ.

In the space above the outside of the entrance to the inner sanctuary on all the walls, spaced evenly around the inner and outer sanctuary,

١٨ 18 وَحُفِرَ فِيهِ كَرُوبِيمُ وَأَشْجَارُ نَخِيلٍ، نَخْلَةٌ بَيْنَ كَرُوبٍ وَكَرُوبٍ. وَكَانَ لِكُلِّ كَرُوبٍ وَجْهَانِ،

were alternating carved cherubim and palm trees. Each cherub had two faces:

١٩ 19 أَحَدُهُمَا وَجْهُ إِنْسَانٍ بِاتِّجَاهِ النَّخْلَةِ السَّابِقَةِ لَهُ، وَالآخَرُ وَجْهُ شِبْلٍ بِاتِّجَاهِ النَّخْلَةِ الَّتِي تَلِيهِ. وَجَمِيعُهَا حُفِرَتْ عَلَى كُلِّ جَوَانِبِ الْهَيْكَلِ.

the face of a man was toward the palm tree on one side, and the face of a young lion was toward the palm tree on the other side. They were carved all the way around the temple.

٢٠ 20 وَقَدِ انْتَشَرَتْ مَحْفُورَاتُ الْكَرُوبِيمِ وَأَشْجَارُ النَّخِيلِ مِنَ الأَرْضِ إِلَى مَا فَوْقَ الْمَدَاخِلِ، وَكَذَلِكَ عَلَى جِدَارِ الْهَيْكَلِ.

Cherubim and palm trees were carved on the wall of the outer sanctuary from the floor to the space above the entrance.

٢١ 21 وَكَانَتْ قَوَائِمُ الْهَيْكَلِ مُرَبَّعَةً، كَمَا كَانَ وَجْهُ الْقُدْسِ مُمَاثِلاً فِي مَنْظَرِهِ لِوَجْهِ الْهَيْكَلِ.

The outer sanctuary had a rectangular doorframe, and the doorframe of the sanctuary was similar.

٢٢ 22 أَمَّا الْمَذْبَحُ فَكَانَ مَصْنُوعاً مِنْ خَشَبٍ ارْتِفَاعُهُ ثَلاثُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرٍ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)، وَطُولُهُ ذِرَاعَانِ (نَحْوَ مِتْرٍ). وَكَانَتْ زَوَايَاهُ وَقَاعِدَتُهُ وَجَوَانِبُهُ مَصْنُوعَةً مِنْ خَشَبٍ. وَقَالَ لِي الْمَلاكُ: «هَذِهِ هِيَ الْمَائِدَةُ الَّتِي أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ».

There was an altar of wood three cubits high and two cubits square. Its corners, base, and sides were of wood. And the man told me, “This is the table that is before the LORD.”

٢٣ 23 وَكَانَ لِكُلٍّ مِنَ الْهَيْكَلِ وَالْقُدْسِ بَابَانِ مُزْدَوَجَانِ،

Both the outer sanctuary and the inner sanctuary had double doors,

٢٤ 24 وَلِكُلِّ بَابٍ مِصْرَاعَانِ يَنْطَوِيَانِ عَلَى نَفْسَيْهِمَا.

and each door had two swinging panels. There were two panels for one door and two for the other.

٢٥ 25 وَحُفِرَ عَلَى مَصَارِيعِ الْهَيْكَلِ كَرُوبِيمُ وَأَشْجَارُ نَخِيلٍ مِثْلُ مَا حُفِرَ عَلَى الْجُدْرَانِ. وَثُبِّتَ إِفْرِيزٌ مِنْ خَشَبٍ عَلَى وَجْهِ الرُّوَاقِ مِنْ خَارِجٍ.

Cherubim and palm trees like those on the walls were carved on the doors of the outer sanctuary, and there was a wooden canopy outside, on the front of the portico.

٢٦ 26 وَانْتَشَرَتِ الْكُوَى الْمُشَبَّكَةُ وَرُسُومُ أَشْجَارِ النَّخِيلِ عَلَى جَانِبَيِ الرُّوَاقِ وَعَلَى حُجُرَاتِ الْبَيْتِ وَعَلَى الأَفَارِيزِ.

There were beveled windows and palm trees on the sidewalls of the portico. The side rooms of the temple also had canopies.
