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 captivity at the beginning of the year on the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was captured—on that same day, the hand of Yahweh was upon me and he took me there.
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 visions from God he brought me to the land of Israel. He brought me to rest on a very high mountain; to the south were what appeared to be buildings of a city.
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。
Then he brought me there. Behold, a man! His appearance was like the appearance of bronze. A linen cord and a measuring stick were in his hand, and he stood in the city 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。」
The man said to me, “Son of man, look with your eyes and listen with your ears, and fix your mind on all that I am revealing to you, for you were brought here so I could reveal them to you. Report everything that you will 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。
There was a wall surrounding the temple area. The length of the measuring stick in the man's hand was six long cubits. Each long cubit was a cubit and a handbreadth in length. So he measured the wall, and it was one measuring stick thick and one rod high.
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。
Then he went to the temple gate that faced east. He went up its steps and measured the threshold of the gate—one stick in depth.
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。
The guard chambers were each one stick in length and one stick in width; there were five cubits between any two of the chambers, and the threshold of the temple gate by the temple portico was one stick deep.
8 他又量向殿門的廊子，寬一竿。
He measured the portico of the gate; it was one stick in length.
9 又量門廊，寬八肘，牆柱厚二肘；那門的廊子向着殿。
He measured the portico of the gate. It was one stick deep. The doorposts were two cubits in width. This was the portico of the gate facing the temple.
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。
There were three guard chambers on either side of the east gate, and each of them had the same measurement, and the walls that separated them had the same measurement.
11 他量門口，寬十肘，長十三肘。
Then the man measured the width of the gateway entrance—ten cubits; and he measured the length of the gateway entrance—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。
He measured the wall that was bordering the front of the chambers—one cubit high. The chambers measured six cubits on each side.
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。
Then he measured the gateway from the roof of one chamber to that of the next chamber—twenty-five cubits, from the entrance of the first chamber to that of the second.
14 又量廊子六十肘，牆柱外是院子，有廊為界，在門洞兩邊。
Then he measured the wall that went between the guard chambers—sixty cubits in length; he measured as far as the gate's portico.
15 從大門口到內廊前，共五十肘。
The entrance from the front of the gate to the other end of the gate's portico was 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。
There were closed windows toward the chambers and toward their pillars within the gates all around; and likewise for the porches. The were windows all around the inside, and each jamb was decorated with palm trees.
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。
Then the man brought me to the outer courtyard of the temple. Behold, there were rooms, and there was pavement in the courtyard, with thirty rooms next to 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。
The pavement went up to the side of the gates, and its width was the same as the gates' length. This was the lower pavement.
19 他從下門量到內院外，共寬一百肘，東面北面都是如此。
Then the man measured the distance from the front of the lower gate to the front of the inner gate; it was one hundred cubits on the east side, and the same on the north side.
20 他量外院朝北的門，長寬若干。
Then he measured the length and width of the gate that was at the north of the outer court.
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。
There were three chambers on either side of that gate, and the gate and its portico measured the same as the main gate—fifty cubits in total 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。
Its windows, portico, chambers, and its palm trees corresponded to the gate that faced east. Seven steps went up to it and to its portico.
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。
There was a gate to the inner courtyard in front of the gate facing north, just as also there was a gate to the east; the man measured from one gate to the other gate—one hundred cubits in distance.
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。
Next the man brought me to the gate of the southern entrance, and its walls and portico measured the same as the other outer gates.
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。
There were closed windows in the gateway and its portico just as at that gate. The south gate and its portico measured 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。
There were seven steps up to the gate and its portico, and there were carvings of palm trees on the walls on either side.
27 內院朝南有門。從這門量到朝南的那門，共一百肘。
There was a gate to the inner courtyard on the southern side, and the man measured from that gate to the gate of the south entrance—one hundred cubits in distance.

Then the man brought me to the inner courtyard by way of its southern gate, which had the same measurements as the other gates.

There were also porticos all around the inner wall; these were 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。
This portico faced the outer courtyard with carved palm trees on its walls and eight steps going up to it.
32 他帶我到內院的東面，就照先前的尺寸量東門。
Then the man brought me to the inner courtyard by the eastern way and measured the gate, which had the same measurements as the other gates.
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。

35 他帶我到北門，就照先前的尺寸量那門，
Next the man brought me to the northern gate and measured it; it measured the same as the other gates.
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。

38 門洞的柱旁有屋子和門；祭司在那裏洗燔祭牲。
There was a room with a door by each of the inner gateways. This was where they rinsed the burnt offerings.
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。
There were two tables on each side of each portico, on which the burnt offering was slaughtered, and also the sin offering and the guilt offering.
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。
By the wall of the courtyard, going up to the gate to the north, there were two tables. Also on the other side there were two tables at the gate's portico.
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。
There were four tables on either side by the gate; they slaughtered animals on the eight tables.

There were four tables of cut stone for the burnt offerings, one and a half cubits in length, one and a half cubits in width, and one cubit tall. On them they laid the tools with which they slaughtered the burnt offerings for the sacrifices.
43 有鉤子，寬一掌，釘在廊內的四圍。桌子上有犧牲的肉。
Two-pronged hooks a handbreadth in length were fastened in the portico all around, and the flesh of the offerings would be put 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。
On the outside of the inner gate, within the inner courtyard, were singers' chambers, one on the north side facing south, and the other on the south side facing north.
45 他對我說：「這朝南的屋子是為看守殿宇的祭司；
Then the man said to me, “This room facing south is for the priests who are on duty in 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。」
The room facing north is for the priests on duty at the altar. These are the sons of Zadok who come near to Yahweh to serve him; they are among the sons of Levi.”
47 他又量內院，長一百肘，寬一百肘，是見方的。祭壇在殿前。
Next he measured the courtyard—one hundred cubits in length and one hundred cubits in width in a square, with the altar in front of the house.
