Ezekiel 43

1 Og han førte mig til Porten, den Port, som vender imod Østen.

And he led me to the gate which looked toward the way of the east.

2 Og se, Israels Guds Herlighed kom fra Østen af, og Lyden deraf var som vældige Vandes Lyd, og Jorden lyste af hans Herlighed.

And behold, the glory of the God of Israel entered along the way of the east. And his voice was like the voice of many waters. And the earth was resplendent before his majesty.

3 Og Synet, som jeg saa, var at se til som det Syn, hvilket jeg havde set, da jeg kom til Stadens Ødelæggelse, og det var Syner som det Syn, hvilket jeg havde set ved Floden Kebar; og jeg faldt paa mit Ansigt.

And I saw a vision in accord with the form that I had seen when he arrived so that he might destroy the city. And the form was in accord with the sight that I had seen beside the river Chebar. And I fell upon my face.

4 Og Herrens Herlighed drog ind i Huset igennem Porten, som vendte imod Østen.

And the majesty of the Lord advanced into the temple, along the way of the gate which looked toward the east.

5 Og en Aand opløftede mig og førte mig til den indre Forgaard; og se, Herrens Herlighed fyldte Huset.

And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court. And behold, the house was filled with the glory of the Lord.

6 Og jeg hørte een tale til mig fra Huset af, og der var en Mand, som stod hos mig.

And I heard someone speaking to me from the house, and the man who was standing beside me

7 Og han sagde til mig: Du Menneskesøn! dette er min Trones Sted og mine Fodsaalers Sted, hvor jeg vil bo midt iblandt Israels Børn evindelig; og Israels Hus skal ikke ydermere vanhellige mit hellige Navn, de og deres Konger, med deres Bolen og med deres Kongers Lig, med deres Høje,

said to me: “Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the steps of my feet, is where I live: in the midst of the sons of Israel forever. And the house of Israel, they and their kings, shall no longer defile my holy name by their fornications, and by the ruinous ways of their kings, and by exalted places.

8 idet de satte deres Dørtærskel ved min Dørtærskel og deres Dørstolper ved mine Dørstolper, og der kun var en Væg imellem mig og imellem dem; og de vanhelligede mit hellige Navn med deres Vederstyggeligheder, som de bedreve, saa at jeg lod dem fortæres i min Vrede.

They have fabricated their threshold beside my threshold, and their doorposts beside my doorposts. And there was a wall between me and them. And they defiled my holy name by the abominations which they committed. Because of this, I consumed them in my wrath.

9 Nu skulle de fjerne deres Bolen og deres Kongers Lig langt bort fra mig; og jeg vil bo midt iblandt dem evindelig.

Now therefore, let them drive away their fornications, and the ruinous ways of their kings, from before me. And I will live in their midst forever.

10 Du Menneskesøn! forkynd Israels Hus om dette Hus, at de maa skamme sig for deres Misgerninger og maale den afmaalte Bygning.

But as for you, son of man, reveal the temple to the house of Israel, and let them be confounded by their iniquities, and let them measure the fabrication,

11 Og dersom de skamme sig over alt det, som de have gjort, vis dem saa Husets Skikkelse og dets Indretning og dets Udgange og dets Indgange og Skikkelsen af alt det enkelte deri og alle dets Bestemmelser, ja, Skikkelsen af alt det enkelte der og alle dets Love, og skriv det for deres Øjne, at de maa bevare hele dets Skikkelse og alle dets Bestemmelser og gøre efter dem.

and let them be ashamed at all the things that they have done. Reveal to them the form and the fabrication of the house, its exits and entrances, and its entire description, and all of its precepts, and its entire order, and all of its laws. And you shall write in their sight, so that they may observe its entire description and its precepts, and so that they may accomplish them.”

12 Dette er Loven om Huset: Paa Bjergets Top skal hele dets Grænse trindt omkring være højhellig; se, dette er Loven om Huset.

This is the law of the house at the summit of the mountain, with all its parts all around. It is the Holy of Holies. Therefore, this is the law of the house.

13 Og dette er Alterets Maal i Alen, hver Alen til en almindelig Alen og en Haandbred: Fodens Indfatning skal være een Alen høj og een Alen bred, og Listen derom paa Randen deraf trindt omkring skal være eet Spand; og dette er Alterets Grundvold.

Now these are the measures of the altar by the most true cubit, which has a cubit and a palm. Its bend was a cubit, and it was a cubit in width. And its boundary, even to its edge and all around, was the width of one palm. The trough of the altar was like this also.

14 Og fra Indfatningen af Foden paa Jorden indtil den nederste Afsætning skal der være to Alen og i Bredden een Alen; men fra den lille Afsætning indtil den store Afsætning skal der være fire Alen og i Bredden een Alen.

And from the bend at the floor even to the furthest rim was two cubits, and the width was one cubit. And from the lesser rim even to the greater rim was four cubits, and the width was one cubit.

15 Og Harel skal være fire Alen, og fra Ariel og opad skal der være de fire Horn.

Now the hearth itself was four cubits. And from the hearth going upward, there were four horns.

16 Og Ariel skal være tolv Alen lang og tolv Alen bred, i Firkant, efter sine fire Sider.

And the hearth was twelve cubits in length by twelve cubits in width, foursquare, with equal sides.

17 Og Afsætningen skal være fjorten Alen i Længden, med, fjorten Alen i Bredden, efter sine fire Sider, og Listen trindt omkring den en halv Alen, og Indfatningen af Foden dertil en Alen trindt omkring, og Trappen derop vende imod Østen.

And the rim was fourteen cubits in length, by fourteen cubits in width, at its four corners. And the crown all around it was one half cubit, and its bend was one cubit all around. And its steps turned toward the east.

18 Og han sagde til mig: Du Menneskesøn! saa siger den Herre, Herre: Dette er Bestemmelserne om Alteret, paa den Dag det bliver gjort for at ofre Brændoffer derpaa og for at stænke Blod derpaa.

And he said to me: “Son of man, thus says the Lord God: These are the rituals of the altar, in whatever day it will be made, so that holocausts may be offered upon it, and blood may be poured out.

19 Og du skal give Præsterne af Levi Stamme, som ere af Zadoks Sæd, og som ere mig nær for at tjene mig, siger den Herre, Herre, en ung Okse til Syndoffer.

And you shall present these to the priests and to the Levites, who are of the offspring of Zadok, those who draw near to me, says the Lord God, so that they may offer to me a calf from the herd on behalf of sin.

20 Og du skal tage af dens Blod og stryge paa dets fire Horn og paa de fire Hjørner af Afsætningen og paa Listen trindt omkring; og du skal rense det for Synd og udsone det.

And you shall take from its blood, and you shall place it on its four horns, and on the four corners of the rim, and on the crown all around. And so shall you cleanse and expiate it.

21 Og du skal tage Syndofferets Okse, og man skal opbrænde den paa den bestemte Plads i Huset, liden for Helligdommen.

And you shall take the calf, which will be offered for sin, and you shall burn it in a separate place in the house, outside of the sanctuary.

22 Men den anden Dag skal du ofre en Gedebuk, som er lydefri, til Syndoffer; og de skulle rense Alteret for Synd, ligesom de rensede det for Synd med Oksen.

And on the second day, you shall offer an immaculate he-goat from among the she-goats on behalf of sin. And they shall expiate the altar, just as they expiated it with the calf.

23 Naar du er færdig med at rense det for Synd, skal du ofre en ung Okse, lydefri, og en lydefri Væder af Hjorden.

And when you will have completed expiating it, you shall offer an immaculate calf from the herd and an immaculate ram from the flock.

24 Og du skal føre dem frem for Herrens Ansigt; og Præsterne skulle kaste Salt paa dem og ofre dem til et Brændoffer for Herren.

And you shall offer them in the sight of the Lord. And the priests shall sprinkle salt over them, and they shall offer them as a holocaust to the Lord.

25 Syv Dage skal du tilberede en Buk til Syndoffer hver Dag; og en ung Okse og en Væder af Hjorden, som ere lydefri, skulle de tilberede.

For seven days, you shall offer daily a he-goat on behalf of sin. Also, they shall offer a calf from the herd, and a ram from the flock, ones that are immaculate.

26 I syv Dage skulle de udsone Alteret og rense det og fylde dets Haand.

For seven days, they shall expiate the altar, and they shall cleanse it, and they shall fill its hand.

27 Og naar de have fuldendt de Dage, da skal det ske paa den ottende Dag og fremdeles, at Præsterne skulle tilberede eders Brændofre og eders Takofre paa Alteret, og jeg vil have Behag i eder, siger den Herre, Herre.

Then, when the days have been completed, on the eighth day and thereafter, the priests shall offer your holocausts upon the altar along with the peace offering. And I will be pleased with you, says the Lord God.”
