Ezekiel 42
1 Og han førte mig ud til den ydre Forgaard ad Vejen imod Nord, og han førte mig til Cellebygningen, som laa tværs over for det afskaarne Rum, og som laa tværs over for Bygningen imod Nord,
Then the man led me out northward into the outer court, and he brought me to the group of chambers opposite the temple courtyard and the outer wall on the north side.
2 hen foran Længden paa de hundrede Alen, med Dør imod Nord, og hvis Bredde var halvtredsindstyve Alen,
The building with the door facing north was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide.
3 tværs over for de tyve Alen, som hørte til den indre Forgaard, og tværs over for det tavlede Stengulv, som var i den ydre Forgaard, der var Omgang over for Omgang i tre Stokværk.
Gallery faced gallery in three levels opposite the twenty cubits that belonged to the inner court and opposite the pavement that belonged to the outer court.
4 Og foran Cellerne var der en Gang, ti Alen bred imod det indre, en Vej af een Alen, og deres Døre vare imod Nord.
In front of the chambers was an inner walkway ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long. Their doors were on the north.
5 Og de øverste Celler vare snævrere; thi Omgangene toge noget bort fra dem, saa at de vare mindre end de nederste og de midterste i Bygning;
Now the upper chambers were smaller because the galleries took more space from the chambers on the lower and middle floors of the building.
6 thi de vare tre Loft høje og havde ikke Søjler som Søjlerne i Forgaardene; derfor vare de fra Gulvet af smallere end de nederste og de midterste.
For they were arranged in three stories, and unlike the courts, they had no pillars. So the upper chambers were set back further than the lower and middle floors.
7 Og en Mur udadtil, der løb lige med Cellerne hen imod den ydre Forgaard, gik foran Cellerne, dens Længde var halvtredsindstyve Alen;
An outer wall in front of the chambers was fifty cubits long and ran parallel to the chambers and the outer court.
8 thi Længden paa Cellerne, som vare i den ydre Forgaard, var halvtredsindstyve Alen; og se, foran Templet vare de hundrede Alen.
For the chambers on the outer court were fifty cubits long, while those facing the temple were a hundred cubits long.
9 Og neden for den laa disse Celler; Indgangen var fra Øst, naar man gik til dem, fra den ydre Forgaard.
And below these chambers was the entrance on the east side as one enters them from the outer court.
10 Paa Bredsiden af Forgaardens Mur, naar man gaar imod Øst, foran det afskaarne Rum og foran Bygningen var der Kamre.
On the south side along the length of the wall of the outer court were chambers adjoining the courtyard and opposite the building,
11 Og der var en Vej foran dem, de havde samme Udseende som Cellerne imod Nord; som de havde disses Længde, saa havde de og disses Bredde og alle disses Udgange og disses Indretninger, og som disses Døre
with a passageway in front of them, just like the chambers that were on the north. They had the same length and width, with similar exits and dimensions.
12 saa vare og Dørene paa de Celler, som laa paa Sydsiden, en Dør, hvor Vejen begyndte, den Vej, som var over for den afmaalte Mur, imod Øst, naar man gik ind til dem.
And corresponding to the doors of the chambers that were facing south, there was a door in front of the walkway that was parallel to the wall extending eastward.
13 Og han sagde til mig: Cellerne imod Norden og Cellerne imod Sønden, der ligge foran det afskaarne Rum, disse ere Helligdommens Celler, hvor Præsterne, som staa Herren nær, skulle æde det højhellige; der skulle de lægge det højhellige og Madofferet og Syndofferet og Skyldofferet, thi Stedet er helligt.
Then the man said to me, “The north and south chambers facing the temple courtyard are the holy chambers where the priests who approach the LORD will eat the most holy offerings. There they will place the most holy offerings—the grain offerings, the sin offerings, and the guilt offerings—for the place is holy.
14 Naar Præsterne gaa ind, da skulle de ikke gaa ud igen af Helligdommen i den ydre Forgaard, men der skulle de nedlægge deres Klæder, i hvilke de gjøre Tjeneste, thi disse ere hellige; og de skulle iføre sig andre Klæder og saa nærme sig til det, som hører Folket til.
Once the priests have entered the holy area, they must not go out into the outer court until they have left behind the garments in which they minister, for these are holy. They are to put on other clothes before they approach the places that are for the people.”
15 Og da han var færdig med Maalene i det indre Hus, førte han mig ud ad den Port, som vendte imod Østen, og han maalte der trindt omkring.
Now when the man had finished measuring the interior of the temple area, he led me out by the gate that faced east, and he measured the area all around:
16 Han maalte Østsiden med Maalestokken til fem Hundrede Maal med Maalestokken trindt omkring.
With a measuring rod he measured the east side to be five hundred cubits long.
17 Han maalte Nordsiden til fem Hundrede Maal med Maalestokken trindt omkring.
He measured the north side to be five hundred cubits long.
18 Han maalte Sydsiden til fem Hundrede Maal med Maalestokken.
He measured the south side to be five hundred cubits long.
19 Han gik om til Vestsiden og maalte fem Hundrede Maal med Maalestokken.
And he came around and measured the west side to be five hundred cubits long.
20 Paa de fire Sider maalte han det; der var en Mur trindt omkring, fem Hundrede Maal i Længden og fem Hundrede i Bredden, til at gøre Skel imellem det Hellige og det almindelige.
So he measured the area on all four sides. It had a wall all around, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits wide, to separate the holy from the common.
