以西結書 40

1 我們充軍後第二十五年，京城被毀後第十四年，年初，月之初十日，就在這一天，上主的手臨於我。

In the twenty-fifth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was smitten, in the selfsame day, the hand of Jehovah was upon me, and he brought me there.

2 在神視中領我來到以色列地，把我放在最高的山上，山的南方有座像城的建築物。

He brought me in the visions of God into the land of Israel, and set me down upon a very high mountain, upon which was as it were the frame of a city on the south.

3 他領我到了那裏，看，有一個人，面色似銅，手中拿著一條麻繩和測量竿。他站在門樓旁。

And he brought me there, and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed. And he stood in the gate.

4 那人對我說：「人子，你要用眼看，用耳聽，留意我向你指示的一切，因為我引你到這裏來，為叫你看見；凡你所見的，你要告訴以色列家族。」

And the man said to me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thy heart upon all that I shall show thee. For thou are brought here to the intent that I may show them to thee. Declare all that thou see to the house of Israel.

5 看，在殿外四周有一道圍牆。那人手中拿的測量竿長六肘──肘是一肘加一掌──他用竿量了牆：寬一竿，高一竿。

And, behold, a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand a measuring reed six cubits long, of a cubit and a handbreadth each. So he measured the thickness of the building, one reed, and the height, one reed.

6 他來到面朝東的門樓，上了石級，量了門限，寬一竿；

Then he came to the gate which looks toward the east, and went up the steps of it. And he measured the threshold of the gate, one reed broad, and the other threshold, one reed broad.

7 量了守衛房：長一竿，寬一竿；房與房之間相離五肘；內裏門廊的門限，為一竿。

And every little chamber was one reed long, and one reed broad, and the space between the little chambers was five cubits. And the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate toward the house was one reed.

8 又量了內裏的門廊，

He also measured the porch of the gate toward the house, one reed.

9 為八肘，壁柱厚二肘，門廊是在內裏。

Then he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits, and the posts thereof, two cubits. And the porch of the gate was toward the house.

And from the forefront of the gate at the entrance to the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were fifty cubits.

16 門樓四周，在守衛房和牆壁上，有向內斜帶櫺的窗戶；走廊四周也有這樣向內的窗戶。壁柱上有棕櫚枝。

And there were closed windows to the little chambers, and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches. And windows were round about inward, and upon each post were palm trees.

17 他引我到了外院；看，有廊房，在庭院四周修的有舖道，舖道上有廊房三十間。

Then he brought me into the outer court. And, lo, there were chambers and a pavement, made for the court round about; thirty chambers were upon the pavement.

18 在各門樓旁邊也有舖道，同門樓一樣長，這是低舖道。

And the pavement was by the side of the gates, answerable to the length of the gates, even the lower pavement.

19 他由下門樓前面，量到內院門樓前面，共一百肘寬。然後他向北走去。

And he said to me, This chamber, whose view is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house.

46 那面朝北的廂房是為在祭壇前供職的司祭之用，他們是肋未的後代中，走近祭壇供職的匝多克的子孫。」
