Ezekiel 40

1 I det fem og tyvende Aar efter at vi var ført i Landflygtighed, ved Nytaarstide, paa den tiende Dag i Maaneden i det fjortende Aar efter Byens indtagelse, netop paa den Dag kom HERRENS Haand over mig, og han førte mig

In the twenty-fifth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was smitten, in the selfsame day, the hand of Jehovah was upon me, and he brought me there.

2 i Guds Syner til Israels Land og satte mig paa et saare højt Bjerg, og paa det var der bygget noget som en By mod Syd;

He brought me in the visions of God into the land of Israel, and set me down upon a very high mountain, upon which was as it were the frame of a city on the south.

3 og da han havde ført mig derhen, se, da var der en Mand som Kobber at se til med en Hørgarnssnor og en Maalestang i Haanden, og han stod ved Porten.

And he brought me there, and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed. And he stood in the gate.

4 Manden sagde til mig: »Menneskesøn, se med dine Øjne, hør med dine Ører og læg vel Mærke til alt, hvad jeg viser dig; thi du er ført hid, for at jeg skal vise dig det. Kundgør Israels Hus alt, hvad du ser!«

And the man said to me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thy heart upon all that I shall show thee. For thou are brought here to the intent that I may show them to thee. Declare all that thou see to the house of Israel.

5 Og se, der var en Mur uden om Templet til alle Sider. Manden holdt i Haanden en Maalestang, som var seks Alen lang, en Alen en Haandsbred længere end sædvanlig, og han maalte Muren; den var eet Maal bred og eet Maal høj.

And, behold, a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand a measuring reed six cubits long, of a cubit and a handbreadth each. So he measured the thickness of the building, one reed, and the height, one reed.

6 Saa gik han op ad syv Trappetrin ind i den Port, hvis Forside vendte mod Øst; og han maalte Portens Tærskel til eet Maal i Bredden,

Then he came to the gate which looks toward the east, and went up the steps of it. And he measured the threshold of the gate, one reed broad, and the other threshold, one reed broad.

7 hvert af Portens Siderum ligeledes til eet Maal i Længden og eet i Bredden, Murpillerne mellem Siderummene til fem Alen og Tærskelen ved Portens Forhal paa den Side,

And every little chamber was one reed long, and one reed broad, and the space between the little chambers was five cubits. And the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate toward the house was one reed.

8 der vendte indad i Porten, til eet Maal.

He also measured the porch of the gate toward the house, one reed.

9 Og han maalte Portens Forhal til otte Alen og dens Murpiller til to; Portens Forhal laa paa indersiden.

Then he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits, and the posts thereof, two cubits. And the porch of the gate was toward the house.

10 Portens Siderum, tre paa hver Side, laa over for hverandre; de var lige store alle tre; ogsaa Murpillerne paa begge Sider var lige store.

And the little chambers of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; those three were of one measure. And the posts had one measure on this side and on that side.

11 Saa maalte han Portindgangens Bredde til ti Alen og Portgangens til tretten.

And he measured the breadth of the opening of the gate, ten cubits, and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits,

12 Foran Siderummene var der paa begge Sider afspærrede Pladser paa een Alen, og selve Siderummene paa begge Sider var seks Alen.

and a border before the little chambers, one cubit on this side, and a border, one cubit on that side, and the little chambers, six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.

13 Saa maalte han Porten fra Indervæggen i et Siderum til Indervæggen i Siderummet lige overfor til en Bredde af fem og tyve Alen, Dør over for Dør.

And he measured the gate from the roof of the one little chamber to the roof of the other, a breadth of twenty-five cubits, door against door.

14 Saa maalte han Forhallen til tyve Alen; og Forgaarden omgav Portens Forhal.

He also made posts, sixty cubits. And the court reached to the posts, round about the gate.

15 Fra Portens Forside udad til Portforhallens Forside indad var der halvtredsindstyve Alen.

And from the forefront of the gate at the entrance to the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were fifty cubits.

16 Porten havde paa begge Sider Gittervinduer, som udvidede sig indad i Siderummene og deres Murpiller; ligeledes havde Forhallen paa alle Sider Vinduer, som udvidede sig indad. Paa Murpillerne til begge Sider var der Palmer.

And there were closed windows to the little chambers, and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches. And windows were round about inward, and upon each post were palm trees.

17 Derpaa førte han mig ind i den ydre Forgaard. Og se, der var Kamre, og Forgaarden rundt var der et stenlagt Stykke; der var tredive Kamre paa Stenlægningen.

Then he brought me into the outer court. And, lo, there were chambers and a pavement, made for the court round about; thirty chambers were upon the pavement.

18 Det stenlagte Stykke stødte op til Portenes Sidemure, lige saa bredt som Portene var lange; det var den nedre Stenlægning.

And the pavement was by the side of the gates, answerable to the length of the gates, even the lower pavement.

19 Han maalte Forgaardens Bredde fra den nedre Ports indre Forside til den indre Ports ydre Forside til hundrede Alen. Og han førte mig mod Nord,

Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate to the forefront of the inner court outside, a hundred cubits, both on the east and on the north.

20 og se, der var en Port, som vendte mod Nord, i den ydre Forgaard, og han maalte dens Længde og Bredde.

And the gate of the outer court whose view is toward the north, he measured the length of it and the breadth of it.

21 Den havde tre Siderum til hver Side, og Murpillerne og Forhallen havde samme Maal som i den første Port; den var halvtredsindstyve Alen lang og fem og tyve Alen bred.

And the little chambers of it were three on this side and three on that side. And the posts of it and the arches of it were according to the measure of the first gate: the length of it was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits.

22 Vinduer, Forhal og Palmer havde samme Maal som i den Port, hvis Forside vendte mod Øst; ad syv Trin steg man op dertil, og Forhallen laa inderst inde.

And the windows of it, and the arches of it, and the palm trees of it, were according to the measure of the gate whose view is toward the east. And they went up to it by seven steps, and the arches of it were before them.

23 En Port til den indre Forgaard laa over for Nordporten, ligesom Forholdet var ved Østporten; og han maalte fra Port til Port hundrede Alen.

And there was a gate to the inner court opposite the other gate, both on the north and on the east, and he measured from gate to gate a hundred cubits.

24 Saa førte han mig mod Syd og se, der var ogsaa en Port mod Syd, og han maalte dens Murpiller og Forhal; de havde samme Maal som de andre.

And he led me toward the south. And, behold, a gate toward the south. And he measured the posts of it and the arches of it according to these measures.

25 Porten og dens Forhal havde Vinduer af samme Slags som de andre. Den var halvtredsindstyve Alen lang og fem og tyve Alen bred;

And there were windows in it, and in the arches of it round about, like those windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits.

26 syv Trin førte op til den; Forhallen laa inderst inde, og der var Palmer paa Murpillerne til begge Sider.

And there were seven steps to go up to it, and the arches of it were before them. And it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon the posts of it.

27 Endelig var der en Port til den indre Forgaard over for Sydporten: han maalte hundrede Alen fra Port til Port.

And there was a gate to the inner court toward the south. And he measured from gate to gate toward the south a hundred cubits.

28 Derpaa førte han mig til den indre Forgaard gennem Sydporten, og den maalte han; den havde samme Størrelse som de andre,

Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate. And he measured the south gate according to these measures,

29 og dens Siderum, Murpiller og Forhal havde samme Størrelse som de andre; Porten og dens Forhal havde Vinduer rundt om. Den var halvtredsindstyve Alen lang og fem og tyve Alen bred.

and the little chambers of it, and the posts of it, and the arches of it, according to these measures. And there were windows in it and in the arches of it round about. It was fifty cubits long, and twenty-five cubits broad.

30 (Der var Forhaller rundt om, fem og tyve Alen lange og fem Alen brede).

And there were arches round about, twenty-five cubits long, and five cubits broad.

31 Forhallen vendte ud mod den ydre Forgaard med Palmer paa Murpillerne, og otte Trin dannede dens Opgang.

And the arches of it were toward the outer court, and palm trees were upon the posts of it. And the ascent to it had eight steps.

32 Saa førte han mig til Østporten og maalte denne Port; den havde samme Størrelse som de andre,

And he brought me into the inner court toward the east. And he measured the gate according to these measures,

33 og Siderum, Murpiller og Forgaard havde samme Størrelse som de andre; Porten og dens Forhal havde Vinduer rundt om. Den var halvtredsindstyve Alen lang og fem og tyve Alen bred.

and the little chambers of it, and the posts of it, and the arches of it, according to these measures. And there were windows in it and in the arches of it round about. It was fifty cubits long, and twenty-five cubits broad.

34 Forhallen vendte ud mod den ydre Forgaard med Palmer paa Murpillerne til begge Sider, og otte Trin dannede dens Opgang.

And the arches of it were toward the outer court, and palm trees were upon the posts of it, on this side, and on that side. And the ascent to it had eight steps.

35 Saa førte han mig til Nordporten og maalte den; den havde samme Størrelse som de andre,

And he brought me to the north gate. And he measured it according to these measures,

36 ligeledes Siderum, Murpiller og Forhal; Porten og dens Forhal havde Vinduer rundt om. Den var halvtredsindstyve Alen lang og fem og tyve Alen bred.

the little chambers of it, the posts of it, and the arches of it. And there were windows in it round about. The length was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits.

37 Forhallen vendte ud mod den ydre Forgaard med Palmer paa Murpillerne til begge Sider, og otte Trin dannede dens Opgang.

And the posts of it were toward the outer court, and palm trees were upon the posts of it, on this side, and on that side. And the ascent to it had eight steps.

38 Derpaa vendte han sig til det Indre, idet han førte mig til Østporten; der skyllede man Brændofferet.

And a chamber with the door of it was by the posts at the gates. There they washed the burnt offering.

39 Og i Portens Forhal stod to Borde paa den ene Side og to paa den anden til at slagte Brændofferet, Syndofferet og Skyldofferet paa.

And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to kill on it the burnt offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering.

40 Ogsaa ved det ydre Hjørne, mod Nord naar man steg op i Portindgangen, stod to Borde og ved Portforhallens andet Hjørne andre to,

And on the one side outside, at the going up to the entry of the gate toward the north, were two tables, and on the other side, which belonged to the porch of the gate, were two tables.

41 fire Borde paa hver Side ved Portens Hjørner, i alt otte. Paa dem slagtede man Slagtofferet.

Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate, eight tables, upon which they killed the sacrifices.

42 Og til Brændofferet stod der tre Kvaderstensborde, halvanden Alen lange, halvanden Alen brede og en Alen høje; paa dem lagde man de Redskaber, med hvilke man slagtede Brændofferet og Slagtofferet.

And there were four tables for the burnt offering, of hewn stone, a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high, upon which they laid the instruments of which they killed the burnt offering and the sacrifice.

43 De havde hele Vejen rundt en Rand paa en Haandsbred, der vendte indad; og oven over Bordene var der Tage til Værn mod Regn og Sol. Derpaa førte han mig atter

And the hooks, a handbreadth long, were fastened inside round about. And upon the tables was the flesh of the oblation.

44 til den indre Forgaard, og se, der var to Kamre, et ved Nordportens Hjørne med Forsiden mod Syd og et andet ved Sydportens Hjørne med Forsiden mod Nord.

And outside the inner gate were chambers for the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate, and their view was toward the south, one at the side of the east gate having the view toward the north.

45 Og han sagde til mig: »Kammeret her, hvis Forside vender mod Syd, er for Præsterne, der tager Vare paa, hvad der er at varetage i Templet,

And he said to me, This chamber, whose view is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house.

46 og Kammeret der, hvis Forside vender mod Nord, er for Præsterne, der tager Vare paa, hvad der er at varetage ved Alteret. Det er Zadoks Sønner, som alene af Levis Sønner maa nærme sig HERREN for at tjene ham.«

And the chamber whose view is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, who from among the sons of Levi come near to Jehovah to minister to him.

47 Saa maalte han Forgaarden; den var hundrede Alen lang og hundrede Alen bred i Firkant; og Alteret stod foran Templet.

And he measured the court, a hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits broad, foursquare. And the altar was before the house.

48 Derpaa førte han mig til Templets Forhal og maalte Forhallens Piller; de var fem Alen brede paa begge Sider; Porten var fjorten Alen bred og dens Sidevægge tre Alen paa begge Sider,

Then he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side. And the breadth of the gate was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side.

49 og Forhallen var tyve Alen lang og tolv Alen bred. Ad ti Trin steg man op til den; og der stod Søjler op ad Pillerne, een paa hver Side.

The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits, even by the steps by which they went up to it. And there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
