حِزْقِيال 43

١ 1 ثُمَّ أَحْضَرَنِي إِلَى الْبَابِ الْمُتَّجِهِ نَحْوَ الشَّرْقِ،

Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looks toward the east.

٢ 2 وَإذَا بِمَجْدِ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مُقْبِلٌ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ، وَصَوْتُهُ كَهَدِيرِ تَدَفُّقِ مِيَاهٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، فَأَضَاءَتِ الأَرْضُ مِنْ مَجْدِهِ.

Look, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shined with his glory.

٣ 3 وَكَانَتِ الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي شَاهَدْتُهَا مُمَاثِلَةً لِلرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي تَجَلَّتْ لِي عِنْدَمَا جَاءَ الرَّبُّ لِتَدْمِيرِ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَكَالرُّؤَى الَّتِي شَاهَدْتُهَا عِنْدَ نَهْرِ خَابُورَ. فَانْطَرَحْتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي،

It was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city; and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.

٤ 4 وَعَبَرَ مَجْدُ الرَّبِّ إِلَى الْهَيْكَلِ مِنَ الْبَابِ الْمُتَّجِهِ نَحْوَ طَرِيقِ الشَّرْقِ،

The glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.

٥ 5 فَنَقَلَنِي الرُّوحُ إِلَى السَّاحَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ، وَإذَا بِمَجْدِ الرَّبِّ قَدْ غَمَرَ الْهَيْكَلَ،

The Spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and look, the glory of the LORD filled the house.

٦ 6 وَالْمَلاكُ مَازَالَ وَاقِفاً إِلَى جُوَارِي، فَسَمِعْتُ مَنْ يُخَاطِبُنِي مِنَ الْهَيْكَلِ،

I heard one speaking to me out of the house; and a man stood by me.

٧ 7 يَقُولُ لِي: يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، هَذَا مَقَرُّ عَرْشِي وَمُسْتَقَرُّ بَاطِنِ قَدَمَيَّ، حَيْثُ أُقِيمُ بَيْنَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. وَلَنْ يُنَجِّسَ شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلا مُلُوكُهُمْ بَعْدُ اسْمِي الْقُدُّوسَ بِمَا يَرْتَكِبُونَهُ مِنْ زِنىً، وَدَفْنِ جُثَثِ مُلُوكِهِمْ فِي مُرْتَفَعَاتِهِمْ،

He said to me, "Son of man, this is the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever. The house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their prostitution, and by the dead bodies of their kings in their high places;

٨ 8 إِذْ شَيَّدُوا عَتَبَاتِ مَعَابِدِ آلِهَتِهِمْ إِلَى جُوَارِ عَتَبَتِي، وَقَوَائِمَهَا إِلَى جُوَارِ قَوَائِمِ هَيْكَلِي، لَا يَفْصِلُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ سِوَى حَائِطٍ. وَهَكَذَا دَنَّسُوا اسْمِي الْقُدُّوسَ بِرَجَاسَاتِهِمِ الَّتِي ارْتَكَبُوهَا، فَأَفْنَيْتُهُمْ فِي حَنَقِي.

in their setting of their threshold by my threshold, and their doorpost beside my doorpost, and there was but the wall between me and them; and they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed: therefore I have consumed them in my anger.

٩ 9 فَلْيُبْعِدُوا عَنِّي زِنَاهُمْ وَجُثَثَ مُلُوكِهِمْ، فَأُقِيمَ بَيْنَهُمْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

Now let them put away their prostitution, and the dead bodies of their kings, far from me; and I will dwell in their midst forever.

١٠ 10 أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ فَصِفْ لِشَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الْهَيْكَلَ وَمَقَايِيسَ تَصْمِيمِهِ وَرَسْمِهِ لِيَخْجَلُوا مِنْ آثَامِهِمْ،

"You, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.

١١ 11 فَإِنِ اعْتَرَاهُمُ الْخِزْيُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَا اقْتَرَفُوهُ مِنْ رِجْسٍ، فَأَطْلِعْهُمْ عَلَى تَصَامِيمِ الْهَيْكَلِ وَرَسْمِهِ وَتَفَاصِيلِ مَخَارِجِهِ وَمَدَاخِلِهِ وَأَشْكَالِهِ وَكُلِّ فَرَائِضِهِ وَشَرَائِعِهِ. وَدَوِّنْ ذَلِكَ أَمَامَهُمْ، لِيَحْفَظُوا جَمِيعَ شَرَائِعِهِ وَأَحْكَامِهِ وَيُمَارِسُوهَا.

If they be ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the form of the house, and its fashion, and its exits, and its entrances, and all its forms, and all its ordinances, and all its forms, and all its laws; and write it in their sight; that they may keep the whole form of it, and all its ordinances, and do them.

١٢ 12 وَهَذِهِ هِيَ شَرِيعَةُ الْهَيْكَلِ: إِنَّ رَأْسَ الْجَبَلِ وَكُلَّ الْمِنْطَقَةِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِهِ، هِيَ قُدْسُ أَقْدَاسٍ.

"This is the law of the house: on the top of the mountain the whole limit around it shall be most holy. Look, this is the law of the house.

١٣ 13 وَهَذِهِ هِيَ مَقَايِيسُ الْمَذْبَحِ بِالأَذْرُعِ (وَالأَمْتَارِ): ارْتِفَاعُ الْقَاعِدَةِ ذِرَاعٌ (نَحْوَ نِصْفِ مِتْرٍ)، وَعَرْضُهَا ذِرَاعٌ (نَحْوَ نِصْفِ مِتْرٍ)، وَارْتِفَاعُ حَافَّتِهَا نَحْوَ شِبْرٍ وَاحِدٍ.

"These are the measurements of the altar by units of length (each unit is the standard eighteen inches plus three inches): the bottom shall be twenty-one inches, and the breadth twenty-one inches, and its border around its edge nine inches. And this shall be the height of the altar:

١٤ 14 وَمِنْ قَاعِدَةِ الْمَذْبَحِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ إِلَى الْحَافَّةِ الْعُلْيَا لِلرَّفِّ الأَسْفَلِ ذِرَاعَانِ (نَحْوَ مِتْرٍ)، وَالْعَرْضُ ذِرَاعٌ (نَحْوَ نِصْفِ مِتْرٍ)، وَمِنَ الرَّفِّ الأَسْفَلِ إِلَى الرَّفِّ الأَوْسَطِ أَرْبَعُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ). وَالْعَرْضُ ذِرَاعٌ (نَحْوَ نِصْفِ مِتْرٍ).

from the bottom on the ground to the lower ledge shall be three feet five inches, and the breadth twenty-one inches; and from the lesser ledge to the greater ledge shall be six feet eleven inches, and the breadth twenty-one inches.

١٥ 15 أَمَّا ارْتِفَاعُ مَوْقِدِ الْمَذْبَحِ فَأَرْبَعُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ) وَتَمْتَدُّ مِنْ زَوَايَا الْمَوْقِدِ إِلَى فَوْقُ أَرْبَعَةُ قُرُونٍ.

The upper altar shall be six feet eleven inches; and four horns project upward from the altar hearth.

١٦ 16 وَكَانَ الْمَوْقِدُ نَفْسُهُ مُرَبَّعاً طُولُهُ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ سِتَّةِ أَمْتَارٍ)، وَكَذَلِكَ عَرْضُهُ

The altar hearth shall be twenty-four feet one inch long by twenty-four feet one inch broad, square in the four sides of it.

١٧ 17 أَمَّا رَفُّ الْمَوْقِدِ فَكَانَ مُرَبَّعاً أَيْضاً، طُولُهُ أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ سَبْعَةِ أَمْتَارٍ)، وَكَذَلِكَ عَرْضُهُ. وَلَهُ حَافَّةٌ عَرْضُهَا نِصْفُ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ رُبْعِ الْمِتْرِ)، وَقَاعِدَتُهَا ذِرَاعٌ (نَحْوَ نِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)، وَتُوَاجِهُ دَرَجَاتُ الْمَذْبَحِ الشَّرْقَ.

The ledge shall be twenty-four feet one inch long by twenty-four feet one inch broad in the four sides of it; and the border about it shall be ten and a half inches; and its bottom shall be twenty-one inches around; and its steps shall look toward the east."

١٨ 18 وَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هَذِهِ هِيَ مَرَاسِيمُ الْمَذْبَحِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي يُنْصَبُ فِيهِ لِتَقْرِيبِ الْمُحْرَقَاتِ وَرَشِّ الدَّمِ عَلَيْهِ:

He said to me, "Son of man, thus says the LORD: These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.

١٩ 19 تُقَدِّمُ ثَوْراً لِذَبِيحَةِ خَطِيئَةٍ لِلْكَهَنَةِ اللّاوِيِّينَ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ هَرُونَ الْمُقْتَرِبِينَ إِلَّيَّ لِيَخْدِمُونِي يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

You shall give to the priests the Levites who are of the offspring of Zadok, who are near to me, to minister to me, says the LORD, a young bull for a sin offering.

٢٠ 20 وَتَأْخُذُ مِنْ دَمِهِ وَتَضَعُ مِنْهُ عَلَى قُرُونِ الْمَذْبَحِ الأَرْبَعَةِ، وَعَلَى زَوَايَا الرَّفِّ وَعَلَى مُحِيطِ حَافَّتِهِ، فَتُطَهِّرُهُ وَتُكَفِّرُ عَنْهُ.

You shall take of its blood, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the ledge, and on the border all around: thus you shall cleanse it and make atonement for it.

٢١ 21 وَتأْخُذُ ثَوْرَ الْخَطِيئَةِ إِلَى حَيْثُ يُحْرَقُ فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الْمُعَيَّنِ مِنَ الْهَيْكَلِ خَارِجَ الْمَقْدِسِ.

You shall also take the bull of the sin offering, and it shall be burnt in the appointed place of the house, outside of the sanctuary.

٢٢ 22 وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّانِي تُقَرِّبُ تَيْساً مِنَ الْمَعْزِ سَلِيماً ذَبِيحَةَ خَطِيئَةٍ، فَيَتِمُّ تَطْهِيرُ الْمَذْبَحِ كَمَا طَهَّرُوهُ بِدَمِ الثَّوْرِ.

"On the second day you shall offer a male goat without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bull.

٢٣ 23 وَعِنْدَمَا يَكْتَمِلُ مَرْسُومُ التَّطْهِيرِ تُقَرِّبُ ثَوْراً وَكَبْشاً سَلِيمَيْنِ.

When you have finished cleansing it, you shall offer a young bull without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.

٢٤ 24 تُقَرِّبُهُمَا فِي مَحْضَرِ الرَّبِّ، وَيَرُشُّ عَلَيْهِمَا الْكَهَنَةُ مِلْحاً، وَيُصْعِدُونَهُمَا مُحْرَقَةً لِلرَّبِّ.

You shall bring them near to the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt on them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering to the LORD.

٢٥ 25 وَتُقَرِّبُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ وَلِمُدَّةِ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ تَيْسَ خَطِيئَةٍ وَثَوْراً وَكَبْشاً سَلِيمَيْنِ.

"Seven days you shall prepare every day a goat for a sin offering: they shall also prepare a young bull, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish.

٢٦ 26 فَتُكَفِّرُونَ عَنِ الْمَذْبَحِ وَتُطَهِّرُونَهُ وَتُكَرِّسُونَهُ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ.

Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify it; so shall they consecrate it.

٢٧ 27 وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّامِنِ وَمَا يَلِيهِ مِنْ أَيَّامٍ بَعْدَ إِتْمَامِ أُسْبُوعِ التَّطْهِيرِ، يُقَرِّبُ الْكَهَنَةُ عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ مُحْرَقَاتِكُمْ وَذَبَائِحَ سَلامِكُمْ، فَأَرْضَى عَنْكُمْ يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ».

When they have accomplished the days, it shall be that on the eighth day, and forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings on the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, says the LORD."
