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.
[in the vision] the man led me out of the inner courtyard, through [the entrance on] the north side. We entered the outer courtyard and came to a building that was built against the north [of the inner courtyard].
2 Længden var hundrede Alen og Bredden halvtredsindstyve.
That building was (175 feet/53 meters) long and (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) wide. Its doorway faced north.
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.
In that building were two rows of rooms, built on three levels, that faced each other. One row of rooms was built against the wall of the inner courtyard, and the other row was built against the wall facing the outer courtyard. The building was 34 feet from the temple.
4 Foran Kamrene var der en Forgang, ti Alen bred og hundrede Alen lang, og deres Døre vendte mod Nord.
Between the [two] rows of rooms there was a walkway that was (17-1/2 feet/5.3 meters) wide and (175 feet/53 meters) long. All its doors were on the north side.
5 De øvre Kamre var de snævreste, thi Gangen tog noget af deres Plads, saa at de var mindre end de nederste og mellemste.
Each of the upper rows of rooms was narrower than the row of rooms below them, [because the upper rows needed to have a walkway in front of them].
6 Thi de havde tre Stokværk og ingen Søjler svarende til den ydre Forgaards; derfor var de øverste snævrere end de nederste og mellemste.
The rooms on the upper levels had no pillars to support them like the ones in the courtyard. Instead, each of those row of rooms were supported by the walls of the row of rooms on the level below.
7 Der løb en Mur udenfor langs Kamrene i Retning af den ydre Forgaard; foran Kamrene var dens Længde halvtredsindstyve Alen;
The wall of the building extended (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) past the set of rooms built along the outer courtyard, separating all the rooms from the outer courtyard.
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.
The row of rooms that were along the outer courtyard was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) long, and the set of rooms that faced the temple was (175 feet/53 meters) long.
9 Neden for disse Kamre var Indgangen paa Østsiden, naar man gik ind i dem fra den ydre Forgaard,
The lowest row of rooms had an entrance from the outer courtyard, on the east side.
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 wall of the outer courtyard, next to the temple courtyard, was a [a building with two] rows of rooms,
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 walkway between them. Those rooms were like the rooms on the north [side]: they were the same length and width, and had the same kind of entrances.
12 Men deres Døre vendte mod Syd .......
The doorways on the south side were similar to the doorways on the north side. There was an entrance in the wall that faced the doors of the set of rooms, and there was an entrance on the east side, at the end of the inside walkway.
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, “These rooms that overlook the temple on the north and south sides are holy. Here the priests who offer sacrifices to Yahweh will [their portions of] the sacred offerings. Because these rooms are holy, they will be used to store the sacred offerings: [the grain for] the grain offerings, the offerings for the sins that people have committed, and offerings in order that people will no longer be guilty for having sinned.
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.«
When the priests leave the temple, they will not be allowed to [immediately] enter the outer courtyard. First, they must remove the clothes that they had been wearing inside the temple, because those clothes are holy. They must put on other clothes before they enter the parts [of the temple area] where the [other] people [gather].”
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;
When the man had finished measuring the inside of the temple area, he led me out through the east entrance [of the outer courtyard] and measured all the way around the temple area.
16 han maalte med Maalestangen Østsiden; den var efter Maalestangen 500 Alen; saa vendte han sig og
He measured the four sides of the area. There was a wall around the area that was (875 feet/265 meters) long on each side.
17 maalte med Maalestangen Nordsiden til 500 Alen;
18 saa vendte han sig og maalte med Maalestangen Sydsiden til 500 Alen;
19 og han vendte sig og maalte med Maalestangen Vestsiden til 500 Alen.
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.
That wall separated the [area which was] sacred/holy from the [areas that were] not sacred.
