< 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 five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, the tenth day of the month, the fourteenth year after the city was destroyed: in the selfsame day the hand of the Lord was upon me, and he brought me thither.
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。
In the visions of God he brought me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain: upon which there was as the building of a city, bending towards 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 in thither, and behold a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed in his hand, 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 this man said to me: Son of man, see with thy eyes, and hear with thy ears, and set thy heart upon all that I shall shew thee: for thou art brought hither that they may be shewn to thee: declare all that thou seest, 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 there was a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed of six cubits and a handbreadth: and he measured the breadth 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;
And he came to the gate that looked toward the east, and he went up the steps thereof: and he measured the breadth of the threshold of the gate one reed, that is, one threshold was one reed broad:

And the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within, was one reed.
And he measured the porch of the gate eight cubits, and the front thereof two cubits: and the porch of the gate was inward.
10 東門樓的守衛房,這邊三間,那邊三間;三間的尺寸相同,兩邊壁柱的尺寸也相同。

And he measured the gate from the roof of one little chamber to the roof of another, in breadth five and twenty cubits: door against door.
He made also fronts of sixty cubits: and to the front the court of the gate on every side round about.
And before the face of the gate which reached even to the face of the porch of the inner gate, 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 slanting windows in the little chambers, and in their fronts, which were within the gate on every side round about: and in like, manner there wore also in the porches windows round about within, and before the fronts the representation of palm trees.
