حِزْقِيال 41

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

He brought me to the nave and measured the posts, six cubits wide on the one side and six cubits wide on the other side, which was the width of the tent.

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 the one side, and five cubits on the other side. He measured its length, forty cubits, and the width, 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)،

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

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

He measured its length, twenty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits, before the nave. 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).

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

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 in three storeys, one over another, and thirty in each story. They entered into the wall which belonged to the house for the side rooms all around, that they might be supported and not penetrate the wall of the house.

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 were wider on the higher levels, because the walls were narrower at the higher levels. Therefore the width of the house increased upward; and so one went up from the lowest level to the highest through the middle level.

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

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

The thickness of the outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits. That which was left was the place of the side rooms that belonged to the house.

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

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

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 doors of the side rooms were towards an open area that was left, one door towards the north, and another door towards the south. The width of the open area was five cubits 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).

The building that was before the separate place at the side towards the west was seventy cubits wide; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length 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).

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

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

also the width of the face of the temple, and of the separate place towards the east, one 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.

He 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 from the inner temple, and the porches of 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.

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

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

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

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

It was made with cherubim and palm trees. A palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every 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.

so that there was the face of a man towards the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion towards the palm tree on the other side. It was made like this through all the house all around.

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

Cherubim and palm trees were made from the ground to above the door. The wall of the temple was like this.

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

The door posts of the nave were squared. As for the face of the nave, its appearance was as the appearance of the temple.

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».

The altar was of wood, three cubits high, and its length two cubits. Its corners, its base, and its walls were of wood. He said to me, “This is the table that is before the LORD.”

٢٣ 23 وَكَانَ لِكُلٍّ مِنَ الْهَيْكَلِ وَالْقُدْسِ بَابَانِ مُزْدَوَجَانِ،

The temple and the sanctuary had two doors.

٢٤ 24 وَلِكُلِّ بَابٍ مِصْرَاعَانِ يَنْطَوِيَانِ عَلَى نَفْسَيْهِمَا.

The doors had two leaves each, two turning leaves: two for the one door, and two leaves 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.

There were made on them, on the doors of the nave, cherubim and palm trees, like those made on the walls. There was a threshold of wood on the face of the porch outside.

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

There were closed windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch. This is how the side rooms of the temple and the thresholds were arranged.
