< Ezekiel 43 >
1 Derpaa førte han mig hen til Østporten.
And he causeth me to go to the gate, the gate that is looking eastward.
2 Og se Israels Guds Herlighed kom østerfra, og det lød som mange Vandes Brus, og Jorden lyste af hans Herlighed.
And lo, the honour of the God of Israel hath come from the way of the east, and His voice [is] as the noise of many waters, and the earth hath shone from His honour.
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 according to the appearance [is] the appearance that I saw, as the appearance that I saw in my coming in to destroy the city, and the appearances [are] as the appearance that I saw at the river Chebar, and I fall on my face.
4 Og HERRENS Herlighed drog ind i Templet gennem den Port, hvis Forside vendte mod Øst.
And the honour of Jehovah hath come in unto the house, the way of the gate whose face [is] eastward.
5 Men Aanden løftede mig op og bragte mig ind i den indre Forgaard, og se, HERRENS Herlighed fyldte Templet.
And take me up doth the Spirit, and bringeth me in unto the inner court, and lo, the honour of Jehovah hath filled the house.
6 Og jeg hørte en tale til mig ud fra Templet, medens Manden stod ved Siden af mig,
And I hear one speaking unto me from the house, and a man hath been standing near 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 saith unto me: 'Son of man, the place of My throne, And the place of the soles of My feet, Where I dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel to the age, Defile no more do the house of Israel My holy name, They, and their kings, by their whoredom, And by the carcases of their kings — 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 putting their threshold with My threshold, And their door-post near My door-post, And the wall between Me and them, And they have defiled My holy name, By their abominations that they have done, And I consume 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 do they put far off their whoredom, And the carcases of their kings — from Me, And I have dwelt in their midst to the age.
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 of Israel the house, And they are ashamed of their iniquities, And they have measured the measurement.
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 since they have been ashamed of all that they have done, The form of the house, and its measurement, And its outlets, and its inlets, and all its forms, And all its statutes, even all its forms, And all its laws cause them to know, And write [it] before their eyes, And they observe all its forms, And all its statutes, and have done 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] a law of the house: on the top of the mountain, all its border all round about [is] most holy; lo, this [is] a 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] measures of the altar by cubits: The cubit [is] a cubit and a handbreadth, and the centre [is] a cubit, and a cubit the breadth; and its border on its edge round about [is] one span, and this [is] the upper part 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 centre of the ground unto the lower border [is] two cubits, and the breadth one cubit, and from the lesser border unto the greater border four cubits, and the breadth a cubit.
15 Ildstedet var fire Alen højt, og fra Ildstedet ragede fire Horn i Vejret.
'And the altar [is] four cubits, and from the altar and upward [are] four horns.
16 Ildstedet var tolv Alen langt og tolv Alen bredt, saa det dannede en ligesidet Firkant.
And the altar [is] twelve long by twelve broad, square in its four squares.
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 border [is] fourteen long by fourteen broad, at its four squares, and the border round about it [is] half a cubit, and the centre to it [is] a cubit round about, and its steps are looking eastward.'
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 saith unto me, 'Son of man, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: These [are] statutes of the altar in the day of its being made to cause burnt-offering to go up on it, and to sprinkle on it blood.
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;
And thou hast given unto the priests, the Levites, who [are] of the seed of Zadok — who are near unto Me, an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, to serve Me — a calf from the herd, 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 hast taken of its blood, and hast put it on its four horns, and on the four corners of its border, and on the border round about, and hast cleansed it, and purified it.
21 Og du skal tage Syndoffertyren og brænde den ved Tempelvagten uden for Helligdommen.
And thou hast taken the bullock of the sin-offering, and hast burnt it in the appointed place of the house at the outside of 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 dost bring near a kid of the goats, a perfect one, for a sin-offering, and they have cleansed the altar, as they cleansed [it] for 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;
In thy finishing cleansing, thou dost bring near a calf, a son of the herd, a perfect one, and a ram out of the flock, a perfect one.
24 du skal bringe dem for HERRENS Aasyn, og Præsterne skal strø Salt paa dem og ofre dem som Brændoffer for HERREN.
And thou hast brought them near before Jehovah, and the priests have cast upon them salt, and have caused them to go up, a burnt-offering to Jehovah.
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 thou dost prepare a goat for a sin-offering daily, and a bullock, a son of the herd, and a ram out of the flock, perfect ones, do they prepare.
26 i syv Dage skal man fuldbyrde Soningen for Alteret og rense det og indvie det.
Seven days they purify the altar, and have cleansed it, and filled their hand.
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 the days are completed, and it hath come to pass on the eighth day, and henceforth, the priests prepare on the altar your burnt-offerings and your peace-offerings, and I have accepted you — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'
