Ezekiel 40

1 Idet fem og tyvende Aar, efter at vi vare bortførte, i Aarets Begyndelse, paa den tiende Dag i Maaneden, det fjortende Aar efter at Staden var bleven indtagen — paa denne Dag kom Herrens Haand over mig og førte mig derhen.

In the five and twentieth year of our exile, in the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city had been smitten, on the selfsame day came the inspiration of the Lord upon me, and brought me thither.

2 I Syner fra Gud førte han mig til Israels Land og satte mig paa et saare højt Bjerg, og oven paa dette saa det ud, som man byggede en Stad imod Syd.

In the visions of God brought he me unto the land of Israel, and set me down upon a very high mount, on which there was built something like a city on the south.

3 Da han havde ført mig derhen, se, da var der en Mand, hvis Udseende var som Udseendet af Kobber, og der var en Hørgarnssnor og en Maalestok i hans Haand, og han stod i Porten.

And when he had brought me thither, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of copper, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring-rod: and he was standing in the gate.

4 Og Manden talte til mig: Du Menneskesøn! se til med dine Øjne, og hør med dine Øren, og ret dit Hjerte til alt det, som jeg vil lade dig se; thi du er ført hid, for at jeg skal lade dig se det; forkynd Israels Hus alt det, du ser.

And the man spoke unto me, Son of man, behold with thy eyes, and hear with thy ears, and direct thy heart unto all that I am about to show thee; for in order to show it unto thee art thou brought hither: tell all that thou seest to the house of Israel.

5 Og se, der gik en Mur uden om Huset trindt omkring, og i Mandens Haand var der en Maalestok, seks Alen lang, hver Alen en almindelig Alen og en Haandbred, og han maalte Murens Tykkelse eet Maal, og Højden eet Maal.

And behold there was a wall on the outside of the house all round about, and in the man's hand was a measuring-rod of six cubits long by the cubit which was a hand's breadth longer than usual; and he measured the breadth of the building, one rod, and the height, one rod.

6 Og han kom til Porten, som vendte imod Østen, og gik op ad dens Trappetrin; og han maalte Portens Dørtærskel til eet Maal i Bredden, den ene Dørtærskel til eet Maal i Bredden;

Then came he unto the gate which looked in the direction toward the east, and went up its steps, and measured the threshold of the gate, one rod in breadth, and the other threshold one rod in breadth.

7 og Vagtkamre, hvert til eet Maal i Længden, og eet Maal i Bredden og fem Alen imellem Vagtkamrene, og Portens Dørtærskel ved Siden af Portens Forhal, set indenfra, til eet Maal.

And every cell was one rod long, and one rod broad; and between the cells were five cubits: and the threshold of the gate near by the porch of the gate within was one rod.

8 Og han maalte Portens Forhal, set indenfra, til eet Maal.

He measured also the porch of the gate within, one rod.

9 Og han maalte Portens Forhal til otte Alen, og dens Piller til to Alen, og Portens Forhal vendte indad.

Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits, and its door-posts, two cubits: and the porch of the gate was inward.

10 Og Vagtkamrene i Porten imod Øst vare tre paa denne og tre paa hin Side, de tre havde ens Maal, og ens Maal havde Pillerne paa denne og paa hin Side.

And the cells of the gate in the eastern direction were three on this side, and three on that side, one measure was for all the three; and there was one measure for the door-posts on this side and on that side.

11 Og jhan maalte Portaabningens Bredde til ti Alen og Portens Længde til tretten Alen.

And he measured the breadth of the entrance of the gate, ten cubits, [and] the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.

12 Og der var en afgrænset Plads foran Vagtkamrene af een Alen paa denne og en afgrænset Plads af een Alen paa hin Side; og hvert Vagtkammer var seks Alen paa denne og seks Alen paa den anden Side.

And there was a space before the cells of one cubit on this side, and one cubit space was there on that side: and every cell was of six cubits on this side, and of six cubits on that side.

13 Og han maalte Porten, fra det ene Vagtkammers Tag indtil det andets Tag, til fem og tyve Alen i Bredden, Dør, imod Dør.

And he measured the gate from the roof of [one] cell to the roof of [another], in breadth five and twenty cubits, one door being against [the other] door.

14 Og han satte Pillerne til tresindstyve Alen, og til Pillerne stødte Forgaarden, trindt omkring Porten.

And he made door-posts of sixty cubits, and around the door-posts the court and the gate all round about.

15 Og fra Forsiden af Porten, hvor Indgangen er, indtil Forsiden af den indre Ports Forhal var der halvtredsindstyve Alen.

And the height of the gate of the entrance as also the height of the porch of the inner gate was fifty cubits.

16 Og der var snævrer Vinduer paa Vagtkamrene og paa deres Piller imod den indvendige Side af Porten trindt omkring og ligesaa paa de fremstaaende Sidemure, og der var Vinduer trindt omkring indadtil, og paa Pillerne var der Palmer.

And there were narrow windows in the cells, and by their door-posts within the gate all round about, and likewise in the porches: and windows were all round about inward; and on each door post were palm-shaped [capitals].

17 Og han førte mig til den ydre Forgaard, og se, der var Kamre og et tavlet Stengulv, lagt i Forgaarden trindt omkring; der var tredive Kamre paa dette Gulv.

Then brought he me into the outward court, and, lo, there were chambers, and a pavement made for the court all round about: thirty chambers were upon the pavement.

18 Og det tavlede Gulv stødte op til Portenes Side, i Bredden svarende til Portbygningernes Længde; dette var det nedre Gulv.

And the pavement by the side of the gates was all along the whole length of the gates: this was the lower pavement.

19 Og han maalte Bredden fra Forsiden af den nederste Port indtil Forsiden af den indre Forgaard, set udvendig fra, til hundrede Alen, den østre og nordre Side.

Then measured he the breadth from the front of the lower gate unto the front of the inner court, without, one hundred cubits, eastward and northward.

20 Og Porten, som vendte imod Nord, paa den ydre Forgaard, dens Længde og dens Bredde maalte han,

And the gate of the outer court that looked in a northern direction, he measured after its length, and its breadth.

21 og dens Vagtkamre, tre paa denne og tre paa hin Side, og dens Piller og dens fremstaaende Sidemure; den var efter den første Ports Maal, halvtredsindstyve Alen var dens Længde og fem og tyve Alen Bredden.

And its cells were three on this side and three on that side; and its door-posts and its porches were after the measure of the first gate: fifty cubits was its length, and its breadth five and twenty cubits.

22 Og dens Vinduer og dens fremstaaende Sidemure og dens Palmer vare efter Maalet ved den Port, som vender imod Østen, og man gik ad syv Trappetrin op dertil, og dens fremstaaende Sidemure vare foran dem.

And its windows, and its porches, and their palm-shaped capitals, were after the measure of the gate that looked in an eastern direction: and by seven steps did they go up unto it, and to its porches which were before them.

23 Og en Port førte til den indre Forgaard, lige over for Porten, der gik ud til Nord og Øst, og han maalte fra Port til Port hundrede Alen.

And the gates of the inner court were opposite the gates on the north, and on the east: and he measured from gate to gate one hundred cubits.

24 Og han førte mig imod Sønden, og se, der var en Port imod Sønden, og han maalte dens Piller og dens fremstaaende Sidemure efter de samme Maal.

After that he led me forth to the south side, and behold there was a gate on the south side: and he measured its door-posts and its porches after these measures.

25 Og der var Vinduer paa den og paa dens fremstaaende Sidemure trindt omkring, ligesom hine Vinduer; halvtredsindstyve Alen var Længden og fem og tyve Alen Bredden.

And there were windows in it and in its porches all round about, like the other windows: it was fifty cubits in length, and in breadth five and twenty cubits.

26 Og Opgangen dertil havde syv Trappetrin, og dens fremstaaende Sidemure vare foran dem, og den havde Palmer, een paa denne og een paa hin Side, paa dens Piller.

And by seven steps was the ascent to it, and to its porches which were before them; and it had palm-shaped capitals, one on this side, and another on that side, upon its door-posts.

27 Og en Port førte til den indre Forgaard imod Sønden, og han maalte fra Port til Port imod Sønden hundrede Alen.

And there was a gate in the inner court on the south side: and he measured from gate to gate on the south side one hundred cubits.

28 Og han førte mig til den indre Forgaard igennem den søndre Port, og han maalte den søndre Port etter det samme Maal,

And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate; and he measured the south gate after these measures;

29 og dens Vagtkamre og dens Piller og dens fremstaaende Sidemure efter de samme Maal; og der var Vinduer paa den og paa dens fremstaaende Sidemure trindt omkring, halvtredsindstyve Alen var Længden og fem og tyve Alen Bredden.

And its cells, and its door-posts, and its porches were after these measures; and there were windows in it and in its porches all round about: it was fifty cubits in length, and in breadth five and twenty cubits.

30 Og der var fremstaaende Sidemure trindt omkring, fem og tyve Alen var Længden og fem Alen Bredden.

And arched passages were all round about, five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad.

31 Og dens fremstaaende Sidemure vendte imod den ydre Forgaard, og der var Palmer paa dens Piller, og Opgangen dertil var otte Trappetrin.

And its porches were toward the outer court; and palm-shaped capitals were upon its door-posts: and its ascent was by eight steps.

32 Og han førte mig til den indre Forgaard, imod Østen, og han maalte Porten efter de samme Maal

And he brought me into the inner court on the east side; and he measured the gate after these measures;

33 og dens Vagtkamre og dens Piller og dens fremstaaende Sidemure efter de samme Maal; og der var Vinduer paa den og paa dens fremstaaende Sidemure trindt omkring, halvtredsindstyve Alen var Længden og fem og tyve Alen Bredden.

And its cells and its door-posts, and its porches, were according to these measures; and there were windows in it and in its porches all round about: its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth five and twenty cubits.

34 Og dens fremstaaende Sidemure vendte imod den ydre Forgaard, og der var Palmer paa dens Piller, paa denne og paa hin Side, og Opgangen dertil var otte Trappetrin.

And its porches were toward the outward court; and palm-shaped capitals were upon its door-posts, on this side, and on that side: and by eight steps was the ascent to it.

35 Og han førte mig til den nordre Port, og han maalte den efter de samme Maal,

And he brought me to the north gate, and he measured it after these measures;

36 dens Vagtkamre, dens Piller og dens fremstaaende Sidemure; og der var Vinduer paa den trindt omkring, halvtredsindstyve Alen var Længden og fem og tyve Alen Bredden.

Its cells, its door-posts, and its porches; and the windows in it were all round about: its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth five and twenty cubits.

37 Og dens Piller vendte imod den ydre Forgaard, og der var Palmer paa dens Piller paa denne og paa hin Side, og Opgangen dertil var otte Trappetrin.

And its door-posts were toward the outer court; and palm-shaped capitals were upon its door-posts, on this side, and on that side: and by eight steps was the ascent to it.

38 Og ved Pillerne ved Portene var der et Kammer med Dør; der skulde de afskylle Brændofferet.

And there was a chamber with its door by the door-posts of the gates, where they washed off the burnt-offerings.

39 Og i Portens Forhal stode to Borde paa denne og to Borde paa den anden Side, til derpaa at slagte Brændofferet og Syndofferet og Skyldofferet.

And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slaughter thereon the burnt-offerings and the sin-offerings and the trespass-offerings.

40 Og ved Siden udenfor, til Nord, naar man stiger opad til Indgangen til Porten, stode to Borde, og ved den anden Side, fra Portens Forhal, stode to Borde,

And at the side without [the porch], as one went up to the entrance of the north gate, were two tables; and on the other side of the porch of the gate were two tables;

41 fire Borde paa denne og fire Borde paa den anden Side, ved Siden af Porten, i alt otte Borde, paa hvilke de skulde slagte.

Four tables being on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate, eight tables, whereupon they slaughtered [the sacrifices].

42 Og der var fire Borde ved Trappen, af hugne Stene, halvanden Alen lange og halvanden Alen brede og een Alen høje; paa dem skulde de lægge Redskaberne, med hvilke de skulde slagte Brændofferet og Slagtofferet.

And there were four tables of hewn stone for the burnt-offerings, of a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high: whereupon they laid the instruments wherewith they slaughtered the burnt-offerings and the sacrifices.

43 Og der var dobbelte Knage, som stode en Haandbred frem, befæstede paa Huset trindt omkring; og paa Bordene skulde Offerkødet lægges.

And hooks, a hand long, were fastened within all round about: and on the tables was placed the flesh of the offerings.

44 Og uden for den indre Port var der Kamre til Sangerne, inde i den indre Forgaard, som stødte op til Siden af den nordre Port, og deres Forside vendte imod Sønden; een Række var ved Siden af den østre Port, de vendte imod Nord.

And without the inner gate were the chambers of the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate; and their front was toward the south side: one was at the side of the east gate having the front toward the north side.

45 Og han talte til mig: Kamrene, hvis Forside vender imod Sønden, ere for Præsterne, som tage Vare paa, hvad der er at varetage ved Huset.

And he spoke unto me, This chamber, the front of which is toward the south, is for the priests who have the charge of the house.

46 Og Kamrene, hvis Forside vender imod Nord, ere for Præsterne, som tage Vare paa, hvad der er at varetage ved Alteret; disse ere Zadoks Børn, hvilke ud af Levi Børns Tal staa Herren nær for at tjene ham.

And the chamber, the front of which is toward the north, is for the priests who have the charge of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok, who come near, from among the sons of Levi, to the Lord to minister unto him.

47 Og han maalte Forgaarden, Længden var hundrede Alen, og Bredden hundrede Alen, i Firkant, og Alteret stod lige for Huset.

So he measured the court, in length one hundred cubits, and in breadth one hundred cubits, foursquare: and the altar [stood] before the house.

48 Og han førte mig til Husets Forhal og maalte Forhallens Piller til fem Alen paa denne og fem Alen paa hin Side, og Portens Bredde var tre Alen til denne og tre Alen til den anden Side.

And he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each door-post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side.

49 Forhallens Længde var tyve Alen og Bredden elleve Alen, og det paa Trappen, ad hvilken man gik op til den, og der stod Søjler ved Pillerne, een paa denne og een paa hin Side.

The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits, together with the steps whereby they went up to it: and there were pillars by the door-posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
