Ezekiel 42
1 Derpaa førte han mig ud i den indre Forgaard i nordlig Retning, og han førte mig til Kamrene, som laa ud imod den afspærrede Plads og Bagbygningen, nogle paa den ene Side, andre paa den anden.
Then the man led me out northward into the outer court, and he brought me to the group of chambers opposite the temple courtyard and the outer wall on the north side.
2 Længden var hundrede Alen og Bredden halvtredsindstyve.
The building with the door facing north was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide.
3 Over for Portene, som hørte til den indre Forgaard, og over for Stenbroen, som hørte til den ydre Forgaard, var der Gang over for Gang i tre Stokværk.
Gallery faced gallery in three levels opposite the twenty cubits that belonged to the inner court and opposite the pavement that belonged to the outer court.
4 Foran Kamrene var der en Forgang, ti Alen bred og hundrede Alen lang, og deres Døre vendte mod Nord.
In front of the chambers was an inner walkway ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long. Their doors were on the north.
5 De øvre Kamre var de snævreste, thi Gangen tog noget af deres Plads, saa at de var mindre end de nederste og mellemste.
Now the upper chambers were smaller because the galleries took more space from the chambers on the lower and middle floors of the building.
6 Thi de havde tre Stokværk og ingen Søjler svarende til den ydre Forgaards; derfor var de øverste snævrere end de nederste og mellemste.
For they were arranged in three stories, and unlike the courts, they had no pillars. So the upper chambers were set back further than the lower and middle floors.
7 Der løb en Mur udenfor langs Kamrene i Retning af den ydre Forgaard; foran Kamrene var dens Længde halvtredsindstyve Alen;
An outer wall in front of the chambers was fifty cubits long and ran parallel to the chambers and the outer court.
8 thi Kamrene, som laa ved den ydre Forgaard, havde en samlet Længde af halvtredsindstyve Alen, og de laa over for hine, i alt hundrede Alen.
For the chambers on the outer court were fifty cubits long, while those facing the temple were a hundred cubits long.
9 Neden for disse Kamre var Indgangen paa Østsiden, naar man gik ind i dem fra den ydre Forgaard,
And below these chambers was the entrance on the east side as one enters them from the outer court.
10 ved Begyndelsen af den ydre Mur. Derpaa førte han mig mod Syd; og der var ogsaa Kamre ud imod den afspærrede Plads og Bagbygningen
On the south side along the length of the wall of the outer court were chambers adjoining the courtyard and opposite the building,
11 med en Gang foran; de saa ud som Kamrene mod Nord; havde samme Længde og Bredde, og alle Udgange var her som hist, ligesom de var indrettet paa samme Maade.
with a passageway in front of them, just like the chambers that were on the north. They had the same length and width, with similar exits and dimensions.
12 Men deres Døre vendte mod Syd .......
And corresponding to the doors of the chambers that were facing south, there was a door in front of the walkway that was parallel to the wall extending eastward.
13 Og han sagde til mig: »Kamrene mod Nord og Syd, som ligger ud mod den afspærrede Plads, er de hellige Kamre, hvor Præsterne, der nærmer sig HERREN, skal spise det højhellige; der skal de gemme det højhellige, Afgrødeofrene, Syndofrene og Skyldofrene, thi Stedet er helligt;
Then the man said to me, “The north and south chambers facing the temple courtyard are the holy chambers where the priests who approach the LORD will eat the most holy offerings. There they will place the most holy offerings—the grain offerings, the sin offerings, and the guilt offerings—for the place is holy.
14 og naar Præsterne træder ind — de maa ikke fra Helligdommen træde ud i den ydre Forgaard — skal de der nedlægge deres Klæder, som de gør Tjeneste i, da de er hellige, og iføre sig andre Klæder; da først maa de nærme sig det, der hører Folket til.«
Once the priests have entered the holy area, they must not go out into the outer court until they have left behind the garments in which they minister, for these are holy. They are to put on other clothes before they approach the places that are for the people.”
15 Da han var til Ende med at udmaale Templets Indre, førte han mig hen til den Port, hvis Forside vendte mod Øst, og maalte til alle Sider;
Now when the man had finished measuring the interior of the temple area, he led me out by the gate that faced east, and he measured the area all around:
16 han maalte med Maalestangen Østsiden; den var efter Maalestangen 500 Alen; saa vendte han sig og
With a measuring rod he measured the east side to be five hundred cubits long.
17 maalte med Maalestangen Nordsiden til 500 Alen;
He measured the north side to be five hundred cubits long.
18 saa vendte han sig og maalte med Maalestangen Sydsiden til 500 Alen;
He measured the south side to be five hundred cubits long.
19 og han vendte sig og maalte med Maalestangen Vestsiden til 500 Alen.
And he came around and measured the west side to be five hundred cubits long.
20 Til alle fire Sider maalte han Pladsen; og der var en Mur rundt om, 500 Alen lang og 500 Alen bred, til at sætte Skel mellem det, som er helligt, og det, som ikke er helligt.
So he measured the area on all four sides. It had a wall all around, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits wide, to separate the holy from the common.
