Ezekiel 46
1 Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Den indre Forgaards Port, som vender imod Østen, skal være tillukket de seks Arbejdsdage; men paa Sabbatens Dag skal den oplades, og paa Nymaanedens Dag skal den oplades.
“‘This is [also] what [I], Yahweh the Lord, declare: The east entryway of the inner courtyard must be shut during the six days in which people work each week, but on the Sabbath days and on the days when there is a new moon, that entryway must [remain] open until that evening.
2 Og Fyrsten skal gaa ind ad Vejen til Portens Forhal udenfra og staa ved Portens Dørstolper; og Præsterne skulle tilberede hans Brændoffer og hans Takofre, og han skal tilbede paa Dørtærskelen, i Porten, og saa gaa ud; og Porten skal ikke tillukkes inden Aftenen.
The king must enter the courtyard through the entry room of the entryway, and stand alongside the entry post. [Then] the priests must sacrifice the animal that the king brought to be completely [on the altar], and also his offering to maintain fellowship with me. The king must worship me at the entrance of the entryway, and then he must go out. [After he leaves], the entryway will not be shut until that evening.
3 Og Landets Folk skal tilbede ved Indgangen til samme Port, paa Sabbaterne og paa Nymaanederne, for Herrens Ansigt.
On the Sabbath days and on the [days when there is a] new moon, the people must worship [me] at the entrance of the entryway.
4 Og Brændofferet, som Fyrsten skal bringe Herren paa Sabbatens Dag, skal bestaa i seks lydefrie Lam og een lydefri Væder.
The offering that the king brings to be completely burned on the Sabbath day must be six lambs and one ram, all with no defects.
5 Og Madofferet skal være en Efa med Væderen, og med Lammene et Madoffer, som hans Haand maatte give; og en Hin Olie til hver Efa.
The offering [that he gives] with the ram must be a bushel of grain, and the grain [that he offers] with the lambs should be as much as he desires to offer, along with (1 gallon/3.8 liters) of [olive] oil for each bushel [of grain].
6 Men paa Nymaanedens Dag skal det være en lydefri ung Okse og seks Lam og en Væder, de skulle være lydefrie.
[Then] each day that there is a new moon, he must offer a young bull, six lambs and a ram, all with no defects.
7 Og som Madoffer skal han ofre en Efa med Oksen og en Efa med Væderen, men med Lammene saa meget, som hans Haand formaar; og at Olie en Hin til hver Efa.
He must [also] provide one bushel of grain with the bull, one bushel of grain with the ram, and as much grain as he wants with the lambs, along with one quart/liter of [olive] oil with each bushel [of grain].
8 Og naar Fyrsten gaar ind, skal han gaa ind ad Vejen til Portens Forhal og gaa ud ad samme Vej.
When the king enters [the temple area], he must enter through the entry room of the entryway, and he must go out through that same entry room [when he leaves].
9 Og naar Folket i Landet gaar ind for Herrens Ansigt paa Højtiderne, skal den, som gaar ind ad den nordre Ports Vej for at tilbede, gaa ud ad den søndre Ports Vej; og den, som gaar ind ad den søndre Ports Vej, skal gaa ud ad den nordre Ports Vej; man skal ikke gaa tilbage ad den Ports Vej, som man gik ind ad, men de skulle gaa ud hver lige frem for sig.
When the Israeli people come to worship me at the festivals that I have appointed, those who enter the temple area through the north entryway must go out through the south entryway. And those who enter through the south entryway must go out through the north entryway. People must not go out through the entryway through which they entered; they must go out through the opposite entryway.
10 Og Fyrsten, han skal gaa ind midt iblandt dem, naar de gaa ind, og naar de gaa ud, skulle de gaa ud sammen.
The king must go in when the other people go in, and go out when the people go out.
11 Men paa Festerne og paa Højtiderne skal Madofferet være en Efa med Oksen og en Efa med Væderen, men med Lammene, hvad hans Haand maatte give; og af Olie en Hin til hver Efa.
During the festivals and sacred feasts, the king must present a bushel of grain along with each bull or ram, and as much grain as he wants to bring, along with the lambs and (1 gallon/3.8 liters) of olive oil with each bushel of grain.
12 Og naar Fyrsten vil gøre et frivilligt Offer, Brændoffer eller Takofre, frivilligt for Herren, da skal man oplade ham Porten, som vender imod Østen, og han skal bringe sit Brændoffer og sine Takofre, ligesom han gør paa Sabbatens Dag; og han skal gaa ud, og man skal lukke Porten, efter at han er udgangen.
When the king gives an offering that is not required, either one to be completely burned [on the altar] or an offering to maintain fellowship with [me, Yahweh, the entryway on the east side of the courtyard] must be opened for him. Then he must present those offerings like he does on the Sabbath days. Then he must go out, and after he goes out, the entryway must be shut.
13 Og du skal ofre et lydefrit Lam, eet Aar gammelt, til Brændoffer dagligt for Herren; hver Morgen skal du ofre det.
Every day, during the morning, someone must provide a one-year-old lamb with no defects to be an offering to me that will be completely burned.
14 Og du skal ofre som Madoffer dertil hver Morgen en Sjettedel af en Efa, og en Tredjedel af en Hin Olie til at væde det fine Mel med; det er et Madoffer for Herren, evige Bestemmelser for bestandigt.
Someone must also provide each morning an offering of flour. It must be one sixth of a bushel of flour mixed with one quart/liter of [olive] oil. These offerings of flour and olive oil to must be presented [to me], Yahweh, each day.
15 Og de skulle tilberede Lammet og Madofferet og Olien hver Morgen til et bestandigt Brændoffer.
The lamb and the offering of flour and [olive] oil must be presented to me every morning, to be completely burned on the altar.
16 Saa siger den Herre, Herre: Naar Fyrsten giver nogen af sine Sønner en Gave, saa er det dennes Arv, hans Sønner skal det tilhøre; det er deres Ejendom til Arv.
This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare: If the king gives some of his land to one of his sons, to belong to him permanently, it will then belong to his son’s descendants forever.
17 Men naar han giver en af sine Tjenere en Gave af sin Arv, da skal det høre denne til indtil Frihedsaaret og da komme til Fyrsten igen; kun hans Sønner skal den Arv, enhver faar, tilhøre.
However, if he gives some of his land to one of his servants, the servant is allowed to keep that land until the Year of Celebration. Then the king will own it again; the king’s land must belong to his descendants forever.
18 Og Fyrsten skal ikke tage af Folkets Arv, saa at han fortrænger dem fra deres Ejendom; af sin egen Ejendom skal han lade sine Sønner arve, for at ikke mit Folk skal adspredes og nogen komme bort fra sin Ejendom.
The king must not take any land that the people own and force them to live somewhere else. The land that he gives to his sons must be from his own property, [not from anyone else’s property], in order that none of my people will be forced to leave his own property.’”
19 Og han førte mig ad Indgangen, som var ved Siden af Porten, hen til de hellige Celler, som vare for Præsterne, og som vendte imod Nord; og se, der var en Plads ved den yderste Ende, imod Vesten.
Then, [in the vision], the man [who was showing the temple area to me] brought me through the entrance alongside the entryway and led me to the sacred rooms on the north side, the rooms that the priests used, and he showed me a place at the western end [of those rooms].
20 Og han sagde til mig: Dette er den Plads, hvor Præsterne skulle koge Skyldofferet og Syndofferet, hvor de skulle bage Madofferet for ikke at bære det ud til den ydre Forgaard, saa at de hellige Folket.
He said to me, “This is the place where the priests must cook the meat of the offerings that people bring in order to no longer be guilty for having sinned, and offerings for their sins, and where they will bake bread made with the flour brought to be offerings. [They will cook those things in their rooms] in order to avoid bringing them into the outer courtyard [to cook them there], lest someone [be punished because of] touching them.”
21 Og han førte mig ud i den ydre Forgaard og lod mig gaa forbi de fire Hjørner i Forgaarden, og se, der var en Indhegning i hvert Hjørne af Forgaarden.
Then the man brought me to the outer courtyard and led me to its four corners. In each corner I saw an enclosed area;
22 I de fire Hjørner af Forgaarden var der lukkede Indhegninger, fyrretyve Alen i Længden og tredive Alen i Bredden; alle fire Hjørneindhegninger havde samme Maal.
each of those areas was (70 feet/21.2 meters) long and (52-1/2 feet/15.9 meters) wide.
23 Og der var en muret Ring trindt omkring i dem, trindt omkring for dem alle fire; og der var Kogesteder gjorte neden under de murede Ringe trindt omkring.
Around the inside of each of those enclosed areas was a stone ledge, with places to make fires all around under each ledge.
24 Og han sagde til mig: Dette er Kokkenes Hus, hvor Husets Tjenere skulle koge Folkets Slagtoffer.
The man said to me, “These are the kitchens where [the descendants of Levi] who work in the temple must cook the sacrifices that the people bring.”
