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 struck, in the same day, the LORD’s hand was on 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。
In the visions of God he brought me into the land of Israel, and set me down on a very high mountain, on which was something like the frame of a city to 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。
He brought me there; and, behold, there was a man whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze, 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。」
The man said to me, “Son of man, see with your eyes, and hear with your ears, and set your heart on all that I will show you; for you have been brought here so that I may show them to you. Declare all that you 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。
Behold, there was a wall on the outside of the house all around, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed six cubits long, of a cubit and a hand width 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 towards the east, and went up its steps. He measured the threshold of the gate, one reed wide; and the other threshold, one reed wide.
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。
Every lodge was one reed long and one reed wide. Between the lodges was five cubits. The threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate towards the house was one reed.
8 又量了內裏的門廊，
He measured also the porch of the gate towards 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 its posts, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was towards the house.

13 量了門樓，由守衛房頂到對面守衛房頂，寬二十五肘；門與門相對。
He measured the gate from the roof of the one side room to the roof of the other, a width of twenty-five cubits, door against door.
14 量了門廊，為二十肘；通過門廊，即是外院。
He also made posts, sixty cubits; and the court reached to the posts, around the gate.
15 由門樓的前面到內裏門廊的前面，共五十肘。
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。
There were closed windows to the side rooms, and to their posts within the gate all around, and likewise to the arches. Windows were around inward. Palm trees were on each post.
