< Ezekiel 43 >
1 Derpaa førte han mig hen til Østporten.
Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east:
2 Og se Israels Guds Herlighed kom østerfra, og det lød som mange Vandes Brus, og Jorden lyste af hans Herlighed.
And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like the sound of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.
3 Synet var som det, jeg havde set, da han kom for at ødelægge Byen, og Vognen saa ud som den, jeg havde set ved Floden Kebar. Da faldt jeg paa mit Ansigt.
And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city; and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar: and I fell upon my face.
4 Og HERRENS Herlighed drog ind i Templet gennem den Port, hvis Forside vendte mod Øst.
And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.
5 Men Aanden løftede mig op og bragte mig ind i den indre Forgaard, og se, HERRENS Herlighed fyldte Templet.
And the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.
6 Og jeg hørte en tale til mig ud fra Templet, medens Manden stod ved Siden af mig,
And I heard one speaking unto me out of the house; and a man stood by me.
7 og han sagde: Menneskesøn! Her er min Trones og mine Fodsaalers Sted, hvor jeg vil bo midt iblandt Israeliterne til evig Tid. Israels Hus skal ikke mere vanhellige mit hellige Navn, hverken de eller deres Konger, med deres Bolen eller deres Kongers Lig,
And he said unto me, Son of man, [this is] the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever: and the house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, and by the carcases of their kings [in] their high places;
8 de, som satte deres Tærskel lige ved min og deres Dørstolper lige ved mine, kun med en Mur imellem mig og dem, og vanhelligede mit hellige Navn ved de Vederstyggeligheder, de øvede, saa jeg maatte tilintetgøre dem i min Vrede.
in their setting of their threshold by my threshold, and their door post beside my door post, and there was [but] the wall between me and them; and they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger.
9 Nu skal de fri mig for deres Bolen og deres Kongers Lig, saa jeg kan bo iblandt dem til evig Tid.
Now let them put away their whoredom, and the carcases of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.
10 Men du, Menneskesøn, giv Israels Hus en Beskrivelse af Templet, dets Udseende og Form, at de maa skamme sig over deres Misgerninger.
Thou, son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern.
11 Og dersom de skammer sig over alt, hvad de har gjort, saa kundgør dem Templets Omrids og Indretning, dets Udgange og Indgange, et helt Billede deraf; ligeledes alle Vedtægter og Love derom; og skriv det op for deres Øjne, at de maa mærke sig Billedet i sin Helhed og alle Vedtægterne og holde dem.
And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, make known unto them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof, and write it in their sight: that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them.
12 Dette er Loven om Templet: Paa Bjergets Tinde skal alt dets Omraade til alle Sider være højhelligt; se, det er Loven om Templet.
This is the law of the house: upon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.
13 Følgende er Alterets Maal i Alen, en Alen en Haandsbred længere end sædvanlig: Foden var en Alen høj og en Alen bred, Kantlisten Randen rundt et Spand høj. Om Alterets Højde gælder følgende:
And these are the measures of the altar by cubits: (the cubit is a cubit and an handbreadth: ) the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about a span: and this shall be the base of the altar.
14 Fra Foden underneden op til det nederste Fremspring to Alen med en Alens Bredde; og fra det lille Fremspring til det store fire Alen med en Alens Bredde.
And from the bottom upon the ground to the lower settle shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser settle to the greater settle shall be four cubits, and the breadth a cubit.
15 Ildstedet var fire Alen højt, og fra Ildstedet ragede fire Horn i Vejret.
And the upper altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar hearth and upward there shall be four horns.
16 Ildstedet var tolv Alen langt og tolv Alen bredt, saa det dannede en ligesidet Firkant.
And the altar hearth shall be twelve [cubits] long by twelve broad, square in the four sides thereof.
17 Det store Fremspring var fjorten Alen langt og fjorten Alen bredt paa alle fire Sider; det lille Fremspring seksten Alen langt og seksten Alen bredt paa alle fire Sider; Kantlisten rundt om en halv Alen bred og Foden en Alen bred rundt om. Trappen var paa Østsiden.
And the settle shall be fourteen [cubits] long by fourteen broad in the four sides thereof; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and the bottom thereof shall be a cubit about; and the steps thereof shall look toward the east.
18 Og han sagde til mig: Menneskesøn! Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Følgende er Vedtægterne om Alteret, paa den Dag det bygges til at ofre Brændofre og sprænge Blod paa:
And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD: These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.
19 Saa lyder det fra den Herre HERREN: Levitpræsterne, som nedstammer fra Zadok og maa nærme sig mig for at gøre Tjeneste for mig, skal du give en ung Tyr til Syndoffer;
Thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that be of the seed of Zadok, which are near unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord GOD, a young bullock for a sin offering.
20 og du skal tage noget af dens Blod og stryge det paa Alterets fire Horn, paa Fremspringets fire Hjørner og paa Kantlisten rundt om og saaledes rense det for Synd og fuldbyrde Soningen for det.
And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the border round about: thus shalt thou cleanse it and make atonement for it.
21 Og du skal tage Syndoffertyren og brænde den ved Tempelvagten uden for Helligdommen.
Thou shalt also take the bullock of the sin offering, and he shall burn it in the appointed place of the house, without the sanctuary.
22 Næste Dag skal du bringe en lydefri Gedebuk som Syndoffer, og de skal rense Alteret for Synd, ligesom de rensede det med Tyren.
And on the second day thou shalt offer a he-goat without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they did cleanse it with the bullock.
23 Og naar du er til Ende med at rense det for Synd, skal du bringe en lydefri ung Tyr og en lydefri Væder af Smaakvæget;
When thou hast made an end of cleansing it, thou shalt offer a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.
24 du skal bringe dem for HERRENS Aasyn, og Præsterne skal strø Salt paa dem og ofre dem som Brændoffer for HERREN.
And thou shalt bring them near before the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering unto the LORD.
25 Syv Dage skal du daglig ofre en Syndofferbuk, og man skal ofre en ung Tyr og en Væder af Smaakvæget, lydefri Dyr;
Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat for a sin offering: they shall also prepare a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish.
26 i syv Dage skal man fuldbyrde Soningen for Alteret og rense det og indvie det.
Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify it; so shall they consecrate it.
27 Saaledes skal man bære sig ad i disse Dage. Og paa den ottende Dag og siden hen skal Præsterne ofre eders Brændofre og Takofre paa Alteret; og jeg vil have Behag i eder, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
And when they have accomplished the days, it shall be that upon the eighth day, and forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings upon the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord GOD.
