Ezekiel 45
1 Og naar I udlodde Landet til Arv, skulle I forlods udtage en Gave til Herren, et helligt Stykke af Landet; Længden skal være fem og tyve Tusinde Maal lang og Bredden ti Tusinde; det skal være helligt inden for hele sin Grænse trindt omkring.
“‘When the land of Israel is divided [among the twelve tribes], you must present to me, Yahweh, one part of the land to be a sacred district. It will be (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (6.7 miles/10.6 km.) wide. That entire area will be (holy/set apart for me).
2 Deraf skal der til Helligdommen høre fem Hundrede Maal imod fem Hundrede i Firkant trindt omkring; og til en Friplads for den trindt omkring skal der tages halvtredsindstyve Alen.
Part of that area, (875 feet/265 meters) on each side, will be for the temple area. An additional strip of ground, (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) wide, will be left empty all around the temple area.
3 Og efter at dette er maalt, skal du maale i Længden fem og tyve Tusinde og i Bredden ti Tusinde Maal, og deri skal Helligdommen, det Allerhelligste, være.
Inside that sacred district, measure a section (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (3.5 miles/5.3 km.) wide.
4 Det skal være en hellig Del af Landet, det skal høre Præsterne til, som tjene i Helligdommen, dem, som staa nær for at tjene Herren; og der skal være Plads for dem til Huse og en hellig Plads for Helligdommen.
That section will be the sacred portion of the land for the priests who work in the temple and who come near to me to serve me. It will be a place for their houses as well as being a holy place for the temple.
5 Og fem og tyve Tusinde Maal i Længden og ti Tusinde i Bredden skal være for Leviterne, som gøre Tjeneste i Huset; de skulle have tyve Kamre til Ejendom.
An area (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (3.5 miles/5.3 km.) wide will be for the descendants of Levi who work in the temple. That area will belong to them, and they will be permitted to build cities there to live in.
6 Og I skulle give til Stadens Ejendom fem Tusinde Maal i Bredden og fem og tyve Tusinde i Længden, ved Siden af Gaven til Helligdommen; det skal høre alt Israels Hus til.
Alongside that sacred area will be a section of land that is (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (1.7 miles/2.65 km.) wide. It will be for a city where anyone in Israel [MTY] will be permitted to live.
7 Og Fyrsten Skulle I give paa denne og paa hin Side af Gaven til Helligdommen og af Stadens Ejendom lige over for Gaven til Helligdommen og lige over for Stadens Ejendom et Stykke fra Vestsiden ud imod Vesten og fra Østsiden ud imod Østen, og i Længde svarende til en af Stamlodderne fra Grænsen imod Vesten til Grænsen imod Østen.
The king will have two sections of land; one will be on the western side of the sacred district and other will be on the eastern side of the sacred district. The one on the western side will extend west to the Mediterranean Sea. The one on the eastern side will extend east to the eastern end of the country. The eastern and western borders of the king’s land will be next to the areas allotted to the tribes.
8 Dette skal han have som Land, som Ejendom i Israel, og mine Fyrster skulle ikke ydermere undertrykke mit Folk, men overlade Israels Hus Landet efter deres Stammer.
That land will be the land in Israel that belongs to the king. So, [because the kings will have their own land], they will no longer need to oppress my people and steal [land] from them. They will assign the remaining parts of the land to the people, giving a part to each tribe.
9 Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Lad det være eder nok, I Israels Fyrster! lader Vold og Undertrykkelse være borte! gører Ret og Retfærdighed, hører op med at fortrænge mit Folk! siger den Herre, Herre.
This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: You kings of Israel must stop acting violently and oppressing the people! You must do what is fair and right [DOU]. Stop taking land from the people!
10 I skulle have rette Vægtskaale og ret Efa og ret Bath.
And you must use accurate scales, and accurate containers for measuring things.
11 Efa og Bath skulle være ens Maal, saa at en Bath skal holde en Tiendedel af en Homer; og en Efa en Tiendedel af en Homer; man skal bestemme deres Maal efter en Homer.
The baskets for measuring dry things and containers for measuring liquids must be the same size; each must hold 175 quarts/liters.
12 Og en Sekel skal være tyve Gera; en Mine skal være eder tyve Sekel, fem og tyve Sekel, femten Sekel.
When you weigh things, you must use weights that everyone accepts as being correct [MTY].’”
13 Dette skal være Offergaven, som I skulle yde: En Sjettedel Efa af en Homer Hvede, og I skulle give en Sjettedel Efa af en Homer Byg.
“‘You must present to the king one bushel of wheat or barley for every 60 that you harvest.
14 Og den bestemte Afgift af Olie, Olien efter Bath, skal være: En Tiendedel Bath af en Kor, som holder ti Bath og er en Homer; thi ti Bath ere en Homer;
And you must give him one quart/liter of olive oil for every 100 quarts/liters that you make.
15 og eet Lam af en Faarehjord paa to Hundrede, fra Israels vandrige Græsgang, til Madoffer og til Brændoffer og til Takofre, til at gøre Forsoning for dem, siger den Herre, Herre.
Also, I, Yahweh, declare that you must take one sheep from each 200 sheep in your flocks in the pastures of Israel. Those things that you take to the king will be used with the offerings of things made from grain and for the offerings that will be completely burned and the offerings to maintain fellowship with me, offerings in order for me to forgive you for the sins that you have committed.
16 Alle Folk i Landet skulle være forpligtede til denne Gave for Fyrsten i Israel.
All the Israeli people must join in bringing those offerings to the king of Israel.
17 Og det skal paaligge Fyrsten at bringe Brændofre og Madoffer og Drikoffer paa Højtiderne og paa Nymaanederne og paa Sabbaterne, paa alle Israels Hus's Højtider; han skal udrede Syndofferet og Madofferet og Brændofferet og Takofrene til at gøre Forsoning for Israels Hus.
The king must provide the animals to be completely burned on the altar, grain for the grain offerings, and wine for the wine offerings for the sacred festivals that I have appointed for the people of Israel—including the festivals to celebrate each new moon and the Sabbaths. He must provide [the animals for] the offerings for the people to become acceptable to me, grain for the grain offerings, animals to be completely burned [on the altar], and offerings to maintain fellowship with me, Yahweh, in order that I will forgive the Israeli people for their sins.
18 Saa siger den Herre, Herre: I den første Maaned, paa den første Dag i Maaneden skal du tage en lydefri ung Okse, og du skal rense Helligdommen for Synd.
This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare: On the first day of the first month [of each year] you must take one young bull that has no defects and [sacrifice it to] cause the temple to be acceptable to me.
19 Og Præsten skal tage af Syndofferets Blod og komme paa Husets Dørstolper og paa de fire Hjørner af Alterets Afsætning og paa Dørstolperne af den indre Forgaards Port.
The [Supreme] Priest must take some of the blood of the offering to cause people to become acceptable to me, and smear it on the doorposts of the temple, on the four corners of the upper ledge of the altar, and on the entry posts of the inner courtyard.
20 Og saaledes skal du gøre paa den syvende Dag i Maaneden for hver, som har syndet af Vanvare og Enfoldighed; og I skulle udsone Huset.
He must do the same thing on the seventh day of the month for any people who sin without intending to sin or without realizing that what they did is sinful. By doing that you will purify the temple.
21 I den første Maaned, paa den fjortende Dag i Maaneden, skal det være Paaske hos eder, en syv Dages Højtid, da der skal ædes usyret Brød.
In the first month of each year, on the 14th day of the month, you must start to celebrate the Passover Festival. The festival will last for seven days. During that time you must not eat bread made with yeast.
22 Og paa den samme Dag skal Fyrsten ofre for sig og for alt Folket i Landet en Okse til Syndoffer.
On the first day, the king must provide a bull to be an offering for himself and for the all the other people of the country.
23 Men paa de syv Højtidsdage skal han ofre Herren som Brændoffer syv Øksne og syv Vædre, som ere lydefri, til hver Dag af de syv Dage, og en Gedebuk til Syndoffer hver Dag.
And every day during those seven days he must provide seven young bulls and seven rams that have no defects, to be an offering for the people’s sins.
24 Og han skal ofre som Madoffer en Efa med hver Okse og en Efa med hver Væder og en Hin Olie til hver Efa.
He must also provide a half bushel of grain to be an offering, and also four quarts of olive oil, for each bill and ram.
25 I den syvende Maaned, paa den femtende Dag i Maaneden, paa Højtiden, skal han gøre ligesaa i syv Dage, saavel med Syndofferet som med Brændofferet, og saavel med Madofferet som og med Olien.
During the seven days of the festival [of Living in Temporary Shelters], which starts on the fifteenth day of the seventh month of each year, the king must provide the same things for offerings for the people’s sins, for offerings to be completely burned, for grain offerings, and the same amount of olive oil that he provided each day [during the Passover Festival].’”
