حِزْقِيال 45

١ 1 وَحِينَ تَقْسِمُونَ الأَرْضَ مِيرَاثاً تُخَصِّصُونَ مِنْهَا تَقْدِمَةً مُقَدَّسَةً لِلرَّبِّ، طُولُهَا خَمْسَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ أَلْفَ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ كِيلُومِتْراً وَنِصْفٍ)، وَعَرْضُهَا عَشْرَةُ آلافِ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ كِيلُومِتْرَاتٍ) فَتَكُونُ مُقَدَّسَةً عَلَى امْتِدَادِ طُولِ تُخُومِهَا.

When you allocate the land ownership by lot, you are to make a provision for the Lord, a holy allocation of the land that measures 25,000 cubits long and 20,000 cubits wide. This whole area is holy.

٢ 2 وَتَفْرِزُونَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ قِطْعَةً مُرَبَّعَةً طُولُهَا خَمْسُ مِئَةِ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ مِئَتَيْنِ وَخَمْسِينَ مِتْراً)، وَكَذَلِكَ عَرْضُهَا، فَتَكُونُ لِبِنَاءِ الْمَقْدِسِ. كَمَا تُخَصِّصُونَ لِلسَّاحَةِ الْمَكْشُوفَةِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِهِ قِطْعَةً أُخْرَى يَبْلُغُ عَرْضُهَا مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ خَمْسِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِتْراً).

Inside this there is the section for the sanctuary that measures 500 cubits square, with an open area around it 50 cubits wide.

٣ 3 وَيَكُونُ الْمَقْدِسُ، قُدْسُ الأَقْدَاسِ ضِمْنَ قِطْعَةِ أَرْضٍ يَبْلُغُ طُولُهَا خَمْسَةً وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفَ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ كِيلُومِتْراً وَنِصْفٍ)، وَعَرْضُهَا عَشَرَةَ آلافِ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ كِيلُومِتْرَاتٍ).

From this holy allocation, measure out a section that is 25,000 cubits by 10,000 cubits. This will contain the sanctuary, the Most Holy Place.

٤ 4 وَتَكُونُ قِطْعَةٌ مُخَصَّصَةً مُقَدَّسَةً لِلْكَهَنَةِ خُدَّامِ الْمَقْدِسِ الْمُقْتَرِبِينَ لِخِدْمَةِ الرَّبِّ، وَمَوْقِعاً لإِقَامَةِ مَنَازِلِهِمْ وَمَوْضِعاً لِبِنَاءِ الْمَقْدِسِ.

This area is a holy allocation of the land which will be used by the priests who serve in the sanctuary, who come before the Lord to minister. It will be where they can live, and a holy place for the sanctuary.

٥ 5 وَتَفْرِزُ قِطْعَةً أُخْرَى لِلّاوِيِّينَ طُولُهَا خَمْسَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ أَلْفَ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ كِيلُومِتْراً وَنِصْفٍ) وَعَرْضُهَا عَشَرَةُ آلافِ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ كِيلُومِتْرَاتٍ)، تَكُونُ مِلْكاً لَهُمْ يُقِيمُونَ عَلَيْهَا مَنَازِلَهُمْ.

The other section measuring 25,000 cubits by 10,000 cubits will be assigned the Levites who work in the Temple where they can live.

٦ 6 وَتُقْسِطُونَ لِلْمَدِينَةِ قِطْعَةَ أَرْضٍ عَرْضُهَا خَمْسَةُ آلافِ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ كِيلُو مِتْرَيْنِ وَنِصْفِ الْكِيلُومِتْرِ)، وَطُولُهَا خَمْسَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ أَلْفَ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ كِيلُومِتْراً وَنِصْفٍ)، مُوَازِيَةً لِلتَّقْدِمَةِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ، فَتَكُونُ لِكُلِّ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Allocate to the city an area 5,000 cubits wide and 25,000 cubits long beside the sanctuary section. It is for the all the people of Israel.

٧ 7 وَتُخَصَّصُ لِلرَّئِيسِ قِطْعَتَا أَرْضٍ عَلَى جَانِبَيْ تَقْدِمَةِ الْقُدْسِ وَأَمْلاكِ الْمَدِينَةِ مِنَ الشَّرْقِ وَمِنَ الْغَرْبِ، وَيَكُونُ طُولُهَا مُوَازِياً لِطُولِ تُخُومِ تَقْدِمَةِ الْقُدْسِ وَأَمْلاكِ الْمَدِينَةِ فِي الْجِهَتَيْنِ.

The prince will be assigned the territory on both sides of the area that includes the holy section and that of the city. It will extend to the western border of the country from the west side and to the eastern border from the east side, in the same way as the allocation to the tribes.

٨ 8 فَتَكُونُ هَذِهِ الأَرْضُ مِلْكاً لَهُ، فَلا يَعُودُ رُؤَسَائِي يَغْتَصِبُونَ أَمْلاكَ شَعْبِي، بَلْ يُعْطُونَ سَائِرَ الأَرْضِ لِشَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِحَسَبِ أَسْبَاطِهِمْ.

This territory will be his to own in the country of Israel. My princes won't exploit my people anymore, and will make sure the people of Israel occupy the country according to their tribal allocations.

٩ 9 وَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، حَسْبُكُمْ يَا رُؤَسَاءَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، تَوَقَّفُوا عَنِ الظُّلْمِ وَالاغْتِصَابِ، وَاحْكُمُوا بِالْحَقِّ وَالإِنْصَافِ، وَكُفُّوا عَنْ ظُلْمِ شَعْبِي يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

This is what the Lord God says: You've done enough damage, princes of Israel! Stop using violence and mistreating people! Do what is good and right. Stop evicting people and stealing their property, declares the Lord God.

١٠ 10 لِتَكُنْ لَكُمْ مَوَازِينُ عَادِلَةٌ وَإِيفَةُ حَقٍّ وَبَثُّ حَقٍّ.

You must use correct methods of measurement—whether it's weights on scales, or ephah for measuring solids, and a bath for measuring liquids.

١١ 11 فَتَكُونُ الإِيفَةُ وَالْبَثُّ مُتَسَاوِيَتَيْنِ فِي الْمِقْدَارِ، وَتَسَعُ كُلٌّ مِنْهُمَا عُشْرَ الْحُومَرِ. وَيَكُونُ الْحُومَرُ هُوَ الْمِكْيَالُ الْمُعْتَمَدُ.

The ephah and the bath shall be the same quantity of volume. The bath will be equivalent to a tenth of a homer, and the ephah will also be equivalent to a tenth of a homer. The homer is to be the fundamental measurement.

١٢ 12 وَيَكُونُ الشَّاقِلُ مُعَادِلاً لِعِشْرِينَ جِيَرَةً، فَتَكُونُ قِيمَةُ الْخَمْسَةِ الشَّوَاقِلِ خَمْسَةَ شَوَاقِلَ، وَقِيمَةُ الْعَشَرَةِ الشَّوَاقِلِ عَشَرَةَ شَوَاقِلَ، وَقِيمَةُ الْمَنِّ خَمْسِينَ شَاقِلاً.

Twenty gerahs make one shekel. Sixty shekels make one mina.

١٣ 13 وَهَذِهِ هِيَ التَّقْدِمَةُ الَّتِي تُقَدِّمُونَهَا: سُدْسُ الإِيفَةِ مِنَ الحِنْطَةِ (نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ لِتْرَاتٍ وَثُلْثَيِّ اللِّتْرِ) لِقَاءَ كُلِّ حُومَرِ حِنْطَةٍ وَسُدْسُ الإِيفَةِ مِنَ الشَّعِيرِ لِقَاءَ كُلِّ حُومَرِ شَعِيرٍ

These are the taxes you are to contribute: one sixth of an ephah from every homer of wheat or barley.

١٤ 14 أَمَّا فَرِيضَةُ الزَّيْتِ فَتُقَدِّمُونَ بَثّاً لِقَاءَ كُلِّ كُرٍّ، وَالْكُرُّ يُسَاوِي حُومَراً، وَهُوَ يُعَادِلُ عَشَرَةَ أَبْثَاثٍ أَيْضاً.

In the case of olive oil, one tenth of a bath from every cor. (The measurement is based on baths, and a cor consists of ten baths or one homer, since ten baths equal one homer.)

١٥ 15 وَشَاةً وَاحِدَةً مِنَ الضَّأْنِ مِنْ كُلِّ قَطِيعٍ فِيهِ مِئَتَانِ مِنَ الضَّأْنِ مُنْتَجَةٍ مِنْ مَرَاعِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الْخَصِيبَةِ. هَذِهِ هِيَ تَقْدِمَةُ الْحُبُوبِ وَالْمُحْرَقَةِ وَذَبَائِحِ السَّلامِ لِلتَّكْفِيرِ عَنْهُمْ يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

In addition one sheep is to be supplied from every flock of two hundred from the green pastures of Israel. These are to provide for the grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings, to set the people right, declares the Lord God.

١٦ 16 أَمَّا تَقْدِمَةُ الرَّئِيسِ مِنَ الْحُبُوبِ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَهِيَ فَرِيضَةٌ عَلَى كُلِّ شَعْبِ الأَرْضِ.

Everyone in the country has to make these contributions to the prince in Israel.

١٧ 17 وَعَلَى الرَّئِيسِ تَكُونُ قَرَابِينُ الْمُحْرَقَاتِ وَتَقْدِمَاتُ الدَّقِيقِ وَسَكِيبُ الْخَمْرِ فِي الأَعْيَادِ وَرُؤُوسِ الشُّهُورِ وَأَيَّامِ السُّبُوتِ، وَفِي كُلِّ مَوَاسِمِ احْتِفَالاتِ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، إِذْ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُقَدِّمَ ذَبِيحَةَ الْخَطِيئَةِ وَتَقْدِمَةَ الدَّقِيقِ وَذَبِيحَةَ الْمُحْرَقَةِ وَذَبَائِحَ السَّلامِ لِلتَّكْفِيرِ عَنْ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

The prince's role is to provide the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings for the religious festivals, New Moons, and Sabbaths—in fact for all the regular religious festivals of the people of Israel. He is to provide the sin offerings, grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings to set the people of Israel right.

١٨ 18 وَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: فِي الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الأَوَّلِ تَأْخُذُ ثَوْراً سَلِيماً وَتُطَهِّرُ الْمَقْدِسَ بِدَمِهِ.

This is what the Lord God says: On the first day of the first month you are to sacrifice a young bull that has no defects to purify the sanctuary.

١٩ 19 وَيَتَنَاوَلُ الْكَاهِنُ مِنْ دَمِ ذَبِيحَةِ الْخَطِيئَةِ، وَيَضَعُ مِنْهُ عَلَى قَوَائِمِ الْهَيْكَلِ وَعَلَى أَرْبَعِ زَوَايَا رَفِّ الْمَذْبَحِ، وَعَلَى قَوَائِمِ بَابِ السَّاحَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ.

The priest shall take some of the blood from the sin offering and put it on the doorposts of the Temple, on the four corners of the upper ledge of the altar, and on the gateposts of the inner courtyard.

٢٠ 20 وَتَقُومُ بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ أَيْضاً فِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ، عَنْ كُلِّ مَنْ ضَلَّ سَهْواً أَوْ جَهْلاً، فَتُكَفِّرُونَ عَنِ الْهَيْكَلِ.

You are also to do this on the seventh day of the month on behalf of anyone who does wrong unintentionally or in ignorance. By doing this you purify the Temple.

٢١ 21 وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الرَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الأَوَّلِ تَحْتَفِلُونَ بِالْفِصْحِ، فَتَأْكُلُونَ فَطِيراً لِمُدَّةِ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ.

You are to keep the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month. This is a religious festival that lasts seven days, during which time bread made without yeast is to be eaten.

٢٢ 22 وَيُقَرِّبُ الرَّئِيسُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ وَعَنْ سَائِرِ شَعْبِ الأَرْضِ ثَوْراً لِيَكُونَ ذَبِيحَةَ خَطِيئَةٍ،

On that day the prince will provide a bull as a sin offering for himself and for everyone on the country.

٢٣ 23 كَمَا يُقَرِّبُ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ مِنْ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامِ الْعِيدِ مُحْرَقَةً لِلرَّبِّ مِنْ سَبْعَةِ ثِيرَانٍ وَسَبْعَةِ كِبَاشٍ سَلِيمَةٍ، وَتَيْسٍ مِنَ الْمَعْزِ لِيَكُونَ ذَبِيحَةَ خَطِيئَةٍ.

Every day for the seven days of the festival, he will provide seven bulls and seven rams without defects as a burnt offering to the Lord, together with a male goat for a sin offering.

٢٤ 24 أَمَّا تَقْدِمَةُ الدَّقِيقِ الَّتِي يُقَرِّبُهَا فَتَكُونُ إِيفَةً (نَحْوَ اثْنَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ لِتْراً) عَنْ كُلِّ ثَوْرٍ، وَأَيْضاً عَنْ كُلِّ كَبْشٍ، وَهِيناً (نَحْوَ أَرْبَعَةِ لِتْرَاتٍ) مِنَ الزَّيْتِ عَنْ كُلِّ إِيفَةٍ (نَحْوَ اثْنَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ لِتْراً).

He will also provide an ephah of grain and a hin of olive oil as an offering to accompany each bull and each ram.

٢٥ 25 وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الْخَامِسَ عَشَرَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ السَّابِعِ يَقُومُ الرَّئِيسُ بِتَقْرِيبِ مِثْلِ هَذِهِ فِي سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامِ الْعِيدِ كَذَبِيحَةِ خَطِيئَةٍ وَمُحْرَقَةٍ وَتَقْدِمَةِ الدَّقِيقِ وَتَقْدِمَةِ الزَّيْتِ.

For the seven days of the festival that begins on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, he is to provide the same number of sin offerings, burnt offerings, grain offerings, and olive oil.
