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,
[in the vision] the man led me out of the inner courtyard, through [the entrance on] the north side. We entered the outer courtyard and came to a building that was built against the north [of the inner courtyard].
2 hen foran Længden paa de hundrede Alen, med Dør imod Nord, og hvis Bredde var halvtredsindstyve Alen,
That building was (175 feet/53 meters) long and (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) wide. Its doorway faced north.
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.
In that building were two rows of rooms, built on three levels, that faced each other. One row of rooms was built against the wall of the inner courtyard, and the other row was built against the wall facing the outer courtyard. The building was 34 feet from the temple.
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.
Between the [two] rows of rooms there was a walkway that was (17-1/2 feet/5.3 meters) wide and (175 feet/53 meters) long. All its doors were on the north side.
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;
Each of the upper rows of rooms was narrower than the row of rooms below them, [because the upper rows needed to have a walkway in front of them].
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.
The rooms on the upper levels had no pillars to support them like the ones in the courtyard. Instead, each of those row of rooms were supported by the walls of the row of rooms on the level below.
7 Og en Mur udadtil, der løb lige med Cellerne hen imod den ydre Forgaard, gik foran Cellerne, dens Længde var halvtredsindstyve Alen;
The wall of the building extended (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) past the set of rooms built along the outer courtyard, separating all the rooms from the outer courtyard.
8 thi Længden paa Cellerne, som vare i den ydre Forgaard, var halvtredsindstyve Alen; og se, foran Templet vare de hundrede Alen.
The row of rooms that were along the outer courtyard was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) long, and the set of rooms that faced the temple was (175 feet/53 meters) long.
9 Og neden for den laa disse Celler; Indgangen var fra Øst, naar man gik til dem, fra den ydre Forgaard.
The lowest row of rooms had an entrance from the outer courtyard, on the east side.
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 wall of the outer courtyard, next to the temple courtyard, was a [a building with two] rows of rooms,
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 walkway between them. Those rooms were like the rooms on the north [side]: they were the same length and width, and had the same kind of entrances.
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.
The doorways on the south side were similar to the doorways on the north side. There was an entrance in the wall that faced the doors of the set of rooms, and there was an entrance on the east side, at the end of the inside walkway.
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, “These rooms that overlook the temple on the north and south sides are holy. Here the priests who offer sacrifices to Yahweh will [their portions of] the sacred offerings. Because these rooms are holy, they will be used to store the sacred offerings: [the grain for] the grain offerings, the offerings for the sins that people have committed, and offerings in order that people will no longer be guilty for having sinned.
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.
When the priests leave the temple, they will not be allowed to [immediately] enter the outer courtyard. First, they must remove the clothes that they had been wearing inside the temple, because those clothes are holy. They must put on other clothes before they enter the parts [of the temple area] where the [other] people [gather].”
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.
When the man had finished measuring the inside of the temple area, he led me out through the east entrance [of the outer courtyard] and measured all the way around the temple area.
16 Han maalte Østsiden med Maalestokken til fem Hundrede Maal med Maalestokken trindt omkring.
He measured the four sides of the area. There was a wall around the area that was (875 feet/265 meters) long on each side.
17 Han maalte Nordsiden til fem Hundrede Maal med Maalestokken trindt omkring.
18 Han maalte Sydsiden til fem Hundrede Maal med Maalestokken.
19 Han gik om til Vestsiden og maalte fem Hundrede Maal med Maalestokken.
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.
That wall separated the [area which was] sacred/holy from the [areas that were] not sacred.
