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 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 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 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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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 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 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.

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

He measured the portico of the gate; it was one stick in length.

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

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 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.

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

Then the man measured the width of the gateway entrance—ten cubits; and he measured the length of the gateway entrance—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.

He measured the wall that was bordering the front of the chambers—one cubit high. The chambers measured six cubits on each 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.

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

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

The entrance from the front of the gate to the other end of the gate's portico 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.

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

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

Then he measured the length and width of the gate that was at the north of the outer court.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

Its chambers, walls, and porticos measured the same as the other gates; there were windows all around in the portico. The inner gate and its portico measured fifty cubits in length and twenty-five cubits in width.

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

There were also porticos all around the inner wall; these were twenty-five cubits in length and five cubits in width.

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

This portico faced the outer courtyard with carved palm trees on its walls and eight steps going up to it.

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

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 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.

Its chambers, walls, and portico measured the same as the other gates, and there were windows all around. The inner gate and its portico measured fifty cubits in length and twenty-five cubits in width.

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.

Its portico faced the outer courtyard; it had palm trees on either side of it and eight steps going up it.

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

Next the man brought me to the northern gate and measured it; it measured the same as the other gates.

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 chambers, walls, and portico measured the same as the other gates, and there were windows all around. The gateway and its portico measured fifty cubits in length and twenty-five cubits in width.

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.

Its portico faced the outer courtyard; it had palm trees on either side of it and eight steps going up it.

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

There was a room with a door by each of the inner gateways. This was where they rinsed 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.

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 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,

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

There were four tables on either side by the gate; they slaughtered animals on the eight tables.

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.

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

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 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.

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 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.

Then the man said to me, “This room facing south is for the priests who are on duty in the temple.

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.

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

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.

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.

Then the man brought me to the portico of the house and measured its doorposts—they were five cubits thick on either side. The entryway itself was fourteen cubits in width, and the walls on each side of it were three cubits in width.

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 portico was twenty cubits, and its depth was eleven cubits. There were steps that went up to it and columns that stood on either side of it.
