以西結書 40
1 我們被擄掠第二十五年，耶路撒冷城攻破後十四年，正在年初，月之初十日，耶和華的靈降在我身上，他把我帶到以色列地。
In the twenty-fifth year of our transmigration, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was struck, on this very day, the hand of the Lord was placed upon me, and he brought me to that place.
2 在上帝的異象中帶我到以色列地，安置在至高的山上；在山上的南邊有彷彿一座城建立。
In the visions of God, he brought me into the land of Israel, and he released me on an exceedingly high mountain, on which there was something like the edifice of a city, verging toward the south.
3 他帶我到那裏，見有一人，顏色如銅，手拿麻繩和量度的竿，站在門口。
And he led me into that place. And behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a linen rope in his hand, and a measuring reed in his hand. And he was standing at the gate.
4 那人對我說：「人子啊，凡我所指示你的，你都要用眼看，用耳聽，並要放在心上。我帶你到這裏來，特為要指示你；凡你所見的，你都要告訴以色列家。」
And the same man said to me: “Son of man, look with your eyes, and listen with your ears, and set your heart upon all that I will reveal to you. For you have been brought to this place, so that these things may be revealed to you. Announce all that you see to the house of Israel.”
5 我見殿四圍有牆。那人手拿量度的竿，長六肘，每肘是一肘零一掌。他用竿量牆，厚一竿，高一竿。
And behold, there was a wall outside of the house, encircling it all around, and in the man’s hand was a measuring reed of six cubits and a palm. And he measured the width of the edifice with one reed; likewise, the height with one reed.
6 他到了朝東的門，就上門的臺階，量門的這檻，寬一竿；又量門的那檻，寬一竿。
And he went to the gate which looked toward the east, and he ascended by its steps. And he measured the width of the threshold of the gate as one reed, that is, one threshold was one reed in width.
7 又有衛房，每房長一竿，寬一竿，相隔五肘。門檻，就是挨着向殿的廊門檻，寬一竿。
And a chamber was one reed in length and one reed in width. And between the chambers, there were five cubits.
8 他又量向殿門的廊子，寬一竿。
And the threshold of the gate, next to the inner vestibule of the gate, was one reed.
9 又量門廊，寬八肘，牆柱厚二肘；那門的廊子向着殿。
And he measured the vestibule of the gate as eight cubits, and its front as two cubits. But the vestibule of the gate was inside.
10 東門洞有衛房：這旁三間，那旁三間，都是一樣的尺寸；這邊的柱子和那邊的柱子，也是一樣的尺寸。
Moreover, the chambers of the gate, toward the way of the east, were three from one side to the other. The three were of one measure, and the fronts were of one measure, on both sides.
11 他量門口，寬十肘，長十三肘。
And he measured the width of the threshold of the gate as ten cubits, and the length of the gate as thirteen cubits.
12 衛房前展出的境界：這邊一肘，那邊一肘；衛房這邊六肘，那邊六肘。
And before the chambers, the border was one cubit. And on both sides, the border was one cubit. But the chambers were six cubits, from one side to the other.
13 又量門洞，從這衛房頂的後檐到那衛房頂的後檐，寬二十五肘；衛房門與門相對。
And he measured the gate, from the roof of one chamber to the roof of another, twenty-five cubits in width, from door to door.
14 又量廊子六十肘，牆柱外是院子，有廊為界，在門洞兩邊。
And he found the fronts to be sixty cubits. And at the front, there was a court for the gate on every side all around.
15 從大門口到內廊前，共五十肘。
And before the face of the gate, which extended even to the face of the vestibule of the gate of the interior, there were fifty cubits.
16 衛房和門洞兩旁柱間並廊子，都有嚴緊的窗櫺；裏邊都有窗櫺，柱上有雕刻的棕樹。
And there were slanting windows in the chambers and at their fronts, which were within the gate on every side all around. And similarly, there were also windows in the vestibules all around the interior, and there were images of palm trees before the fronts.
17 他帶我到外院，見院的四圍有鋪石地；鋪石地上有屋子三十間。
And he led me away to the outer court, and behold, there were storerooms and a layer of pavement stones throughout the court. Thirty storerooms encircled the pavement.
18 鋪石地，就是矮鋪石地在各門洞兩旁，以門洞的長短為度。
And the pavement in front of the gates, along the length of the gates, was lower.
19 他從下門量到內院外，共寬一百肘，東面北面都是如此。
And he measured the width, from the face of the lower gate to the front of the outer part of the inner court, to be one hundred cubits, to the east and to the north.
20 他量外院朝北的門，長寬若干。
Likewise, he measured the gate of the outer court, which looked to the way of the north, to be as much in length as in width.
21 門洞的衛房，這旁三間，那旁三間。門洞的柱子和廊子，與第一門的尺寸一樣。門洞長五十肘，寬二十五肘。
And its chambers were three from one side to the other. And its front and its vestibule, in accord with the measure of the former gate, were fifty cubits in its length and twenty-five cubits in width.
22 其窗櫺和廊子，並雕刻的棕樹，與朝東的門尺寸一樣。登七層臺階上到這門，前面有廊子。
Now its windows, and the vestibule, and the engravings were in accord with the measure of the gate which looked to the east. And its ascent was by seven steps, and a vestibule was before it.
23 內院有門與這門相對，北面東面都是如此。他從這門量到那門，共一百肘。
And the gate of the inner court was opposite the gate of the north, and that of the east. And he measured from gate to gate as one hundred cubits.
24 他帶我往南去，見朝南有門，又照先前的尺寸量門洞的柱子和廊子。
And he led me to the way of the south, and behold, there was a gate which looked toward the south. And he measured its front and its vestibule to be the same as the measures above.
25 門洞兩旁與廊子的周圍都有窗櫺，和先量的窗櫺一樣。門洞長五十肘，寬二十五肘。
And its windows and the vestibule all around were like the other windows: fifty cubits in length and twenty-five cubits in width.
26 登七層臺階上到這門，前面有廊子；柱上有雕刻的棕樹，這邊一棵，那邊一棵。
And there were seven steps to ascend to it, and a vestibule before its doors. And there were engraved palm trees, one on each side, at its front.
27 內院朝南有門。從這門量到朝南的那門，共一百肘。
And there was a gate at the inner court, on the way to the south. And he measured from one gate to another, on the way to the south, to be one hundred cubits.
28 他帶我從南門到內院，就照先前的尺寸量南門。
And he led me into the inner court, to the south gate. And he measured the gate to be in accord with the measures above.
29 衛房和柱子，並廊子都照先前的尺寸。門洞兩旁與廊子的周圍都有窗櫺。門洞長五十肘，寬二十五肘。
Its chamber, and its front, and its vestibule had the same measures. And its windows and its vestibule all around were fifty cubits in length, and twenty-five cubits in width.
30 周圍有廊子，長二十五肘，寬五肘。
And the vestibule all around was twenty-five cubits in length, and five cubits in width.
31 廊子朝着外院，柱上有雕刻的棕樹。登八層臺階上到這門。
And its vestibule was toward the outer court, and its palm trees were at the front. And there were eight steps to ascend to it.
32 他帶我到內院的東面，就照先前的尺寸量東門。
And he led me into the inner court, along the way of the east. And he measured the gate to be in accord with the measures above.
33 衛房和柱子，並廊子都照先前的尺寸。門洞兩旁與廊子的周圍都有窗櫺。門洞長五十肘，寬二十五肘。
Its chamber, and its front, and its vestibule were as above. And its windows and its vestibules all around were fifty cubits in length, and twenty-five cubits in width.
34 廊子朝着外院。門洞兩旁的柱子都有雕刻的棕樹。登八層臺階上到這門。
And it had a vestibule, that is, at the outer court. And the engraved palm trees at its front were on one side and the other. And its ascent was by eight steps.
35 他帶我到北門，就照先前的尺寸量那門，
And he led me to the gate which looked toward the north. And he measured it to be in accord with the measures above.
36 就是量衛房和柱子，並廊子。門洞周圍都有窗櫺；門洞長五十肘，寬二十五肘。
Its chamber, and its front, and its vestibule, and its windows all around were fifty cubits in length, and twenty-five cubits in width.
37 廊柱朝着外院。門洞兩旁的柱子都有雕刻的棕樹。登八層臺階上到這門。
And its vestibule looked toward the outer court. And an engraving of palm trees at its front was on one side and the other. And its ascent was by eight steps.
38 門洞的柱旁有屋子和門；祭司在那裏洗燔祭牲。
And at each one of the storerooms, there was a door at the front of the gates. There, they washed the holocaust.
39 在門廊內，這邊有兩張桌子，那邊有兩張桌子，在其上可以宰殺燔祭牲、贖罪祭牲，和贖愆祭牲。
And at the vestibule of the gate, there were two tables on one side, and two tables on the other side, so that the holocaust, and the offering for sin, and the offering for transgression could be immolated upon them.
40 上到朝北的門口，這邊有兩張桌子，門廊那邊也有兩張桌子。
And at the outer side, which ascends to the door of the gate that goes toward the north, there were two tables. And at the other side, before the vestibule of the gate, there were two tables.
41 門這邊有四張桌子，那邊有四張桌子，共八張；在其上祭司宰殺犧牲。
Four tables were on one side, and four tables were on the other side; along the sides of the gate, there were eight tables, upon which they immolated.
42 為燔祭牲有四張桌子，是鑿過的石頭做成的，長一肘半，寬一肘半，高一肘。祭司將宰殺燔祭牲和平安祭牲所用的器皿放在其上。
Now the four tables for the holocausts were constructed of square stones: one and a half cubit in length, and one and a half cubits in width, and one cubit in height. Upon these, they placed the vessels, in which the holocaust and the victim were immolated.
43 有鉤子，寬一掌，釘在廊內的四圍。桌子上有犧牲的肉。
And their edges were one palm in width, turned inward all around. And the flesh of the oblation was on the tables.
44 在北門旁，內院裏有屋子，為歌唱的人而設。這屋子朝南；在南門旁，又有一間朝北。
And outside the interior gate, there were storerooms for the cantors, in the inner court, which was beside the gate that looks toward the north. And their face was opposite the way to the south; one was beside the east gate, which looked toward the way of the north.
45 他對我說：「這朝南的屋子是為看守殿宇的祭司；
And he said to me: “This is the storeroom that looks toward the south; it shall be for the priests who keep watch for the protection of the temple.
46 那朝北的屋子是為看守祭壇的祭司。這些祭司是利未人中撒督的子孫，近前來事奉耶和華的。」
Moreover, the storeroom that looks toward the north will be for the priests who keep watch over the ministry of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, those among the sons of Levi who may draw near to the Lord, so that they may minister to him.”
47 他又量內院，長一百肘，寬一百肘，是見方的。祭壇在殿前。
And he measured the court to be one hundred cubits in length, and one hundred cubits in width, with four equal sides. And the altar was before the face of the temple.
48 於是他帶我到殿前的廊子，量廊子的牆柱。這面厚五肘，那面厚五肘。門兩旁，這邊三肘，那邊三肘。
And he led me into the vestibule of the temple. And he measured the vestibule to be five cubits on one side, and five cubits on the other side. And the width of the gate was three cubits on one side, and three cubits on the other side.
49 廊子長二十肘，寬十一肘。上廊子有臺階。靠近牆柱又有柱子，這邊一根，那邊一根。
Now the length of the vestibule was twenty cubits, and the width was eleven cubits, and there were eight steps to ascend to it. And there were pillars at the front, one on this side and another on that side.
