حِزْقِيال 43

١ 1 ثُمَّ أَحْضَرَنِي إِلَى الْبَابِ الْمُتَّجِهِ نَحْوَ الشَّرْقِ،

Then he took me unto the gate, —even the gate that looked toward the east;

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

when lo! the glory of the God of Israel coming from the way of the east, —and the sound of him, was as the sound of many waters, and the earth shone 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،

And it was like the appearance of the vision which I had seen like the vision which I saw—when I came in to destroy the city, also the visions were like the vision which I saw by the river Chebar, —so I fell upon my face.

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

And the glory of Yahweh entered into the house, —by way of the gate which looked toward the east.

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

So then the spirit lifted me up, and brought me into the inner court, —and lo! the glory of Yahweh filled the house.

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

Then heard I one speaking unto me. out of the house, —and a man, there was standing beside 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،

Then said he unto me, Son of man This is the place of my throne and the place of the soles of my feet where I would dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel to times age-abiding, - But the house of Israel must, no more defile my holy Name. They, nor their kings by their unchastity, and by the carcases 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.

When they placed— Their threshold by my threshold and their door-post beside my door-post, With, only the wall, between me and them, then defiled they my holy Name by their abominations which they committed, Wherefore I devoured them in mine anger.

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

Now, let them remove their unchastity and the carcases of their kings far from me, - So will I make my habitation in the midst of them, to times age-abiding.

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

Thou, son of man, Declare the house unto the house of Israel, That they may be put to the blush for their iniquities, - Then 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.

And when they have blushed for all that they have done, then The form of the house. And the arrangement thereof And the exits thereof. And the entrances thereof And all the forms thereof, and all the statutes thereof. And all the forms thereof and all the laws thereof, make thou known unto them, And write [it] before their eyes; That they may keep— All the forms thereof And all the statutes thereof. And do them.

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

This shall be the law of the house, — Upon the top of the mountain, all the boundary thereof round about on every side, [shall be] most holy, Lo! this, shall be 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.

And these, shall be the measures of the altar, in cubits, a cubit being a cubit and a handbreadth; and the hollow, shall be a cubit, and a cubit the breadth, and the boundary thereof unto the edge thereof round about shall be a single span. And this, shall be the upper part 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).

And from the hollow of the ground unto the lower ledge, [shall be] two cubits, and the breadth, one cubit, - and from the smaller ledge unto the larger ledge, [shall be] four cubits, and the breadth, a cubit.

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

And the hearth, [shall, be] four cubits, —and from the hearth and upward, the horns [shall be] four.

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

And the hearth shall be twelve cubits in length, by twelve in breadth—square in the four sides thereof.

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.

And the ledge shall be fourteen in length, by fourteen in breadth, unto the four sides thereof, —and the boundary round about it shall be half a cubit and, the hollow thereto, a cubit round about, with, the steps thereof, looking 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:

Then said he unto me, Son of man, Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh, These, shall be the statutes of the altar, in the day when it is made, —for offering up thereon—an ascending-sacrifice, and for dashing thereon—blood.

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

So then thou shalt give unto the priests the Levites those who are of the seed of Zadok who approach unto me Declareth My Lord Yahweh. to wait upon me—a young bullock as a sin-bearer,

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

Then shalt thou take of the blood thereof and place upon the four horns thereof and on the four corners of the ledge, and on the boundary, round about, —and shalt cleanse it from sin and put a propitiatory-covering over it.

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

Then shalt thou take the bullock bearing sin, - and shalt burn it in the appointed place of the house, outside the sanctuary,

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

And on the second day, shalt thou bring near a kid of the goats without defect as a sin-bearer, —and they shall cleanse the altar from sin just as they cleansed it from sin with the bullock,

٢٣ 23 وَعِنْدَمَا يَكْتَمِلُ مَرْسُومُ التَّطْهِيرِ تُقَرِّبُ ثَوْراً وَكَبْشاً سَلِيمَيْنِ.

When thou hast made an end of cleansing from sin, thou shalt bring near a young bullock without defect, and a ram out of the flock without defect;

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

and shalt bring them near before Yahweh, —and the priests shall cast over them salt, so shall they cause them to go up as an ascending-sacrifice to Yahweh.

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

Seven days, shalt thou offer a sin-bearing goat for each day, —and a young bullock and aram out of the flock without defect, shall they offer.

٢٦ 26 فَتُكَفِّرُونَ عَنِ الْمَذْبَحِ وَتُطَهِّرُونَهُ وَتُكَرِّسُونَهُ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ.

Seven days, shall they put a propitiatory covering over the altar, and shall purify it, —and shall 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 the days shall be accomplished, then shall it be on the eighth day and forward, that the priests shall offer upon the altar your ascending-sacrifices and your peace offerings. And I will accept you Declareth, My Lord Yahweh.
