Ezekiel 46
1 Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Den indre Forgaards Østport skal være lukket de seks Hverdage, men paa Sabbatsdagen skal den aabnes, ligeledes paa Nymaanedagen:
“‘This is [also] what [I], Yahweh the Lord, declare: The east entryway of the inner courtyard must be shut during the six days in which people work each week, but on the Sabbath days and on the days when there is a new moon, that entryway must [remain] open until that evening.
2 og Fyrsten skal udefra gaa ind gennem Portens Forhal og stille sig ved Portens Dørstolpe. Præsterne skal ofre hans Brændoffer og Takofre, og han skal tilbede paa Portens Tærskel og saa gaa ud igen; og Porten skal staa aaben til Aften.
The king must enter the courtyard through the entry room of the entryway, and stand alongside the entry post. [Then] the priests must sacrifice the animal that the king brought to be completely [on the altar], and also his offering to maintain fellowship with me. The king must worship me at the entrance of the entryway, and then he must go out. [After he leaves], the entryway will not be shut until that evening.
3 Men Folket i Landet skal paa Sabbaterne og Nymaanedagene tilbede for HERRENS Aasyn ved denne Ports Indgang.
On the Sabbath days and on the [days when there is a] new moon, the people must worship [me] at the entrance of the entryway.
4 Det Brændoffer, Fyrsten bringer HERREN paa Sabbatsdagen, skal udgøre seks lydefri Lam og en lydefri Væder,
The offering that the king brings to be completely burned on the Sabbath day must be six lambs and one ram, all with no defects.
5 dertil et Afgrødeoffer paa en Efa med Væderen og et Afgrødeoffer efter Behag med Lammene, desuden en Hin Olie med hver Efa.
The offering [that he gives] with the ram must be a bushel of grain, and the grain [that he offers] with the lambs should be as much as he desires to offer, along with (1 gallon/3.8 liters) of [olive] oil for each bushel [of grain].
6 Paa Nymaanedagen skal det udgøre en ung, lydefri Tyr, seks Lam og en Væder, lydefri Dyr;
[Then] each day that there is a new moon, he must offer a young bull, six lambs and a ram, all with no defects.
7 med Tyren skal han ofre et Afgrødeoffer paa en Efa, med Væderen ligeledes en Efa og med Lammene efter Behag desuden en Hin Olie med hver Efa.
He must [also] provide one bushel of grain with the bull, one bushel of grain with the ram, and as much grain as he wants with the lambs, along with one quart/liter of [olive] oil with each bushel [of grain].
8 Naar Fyrsten gaar ind, skal han komme gennem Portens Forhal, og samme Vej skal han gaa ud;
When the king enters [the temple area], he must enter through the entry room of the entryway, and he must go out through that same entry room [when he leaves].
9 men naar Folket i Landet kommer for HERRENS Aasyn paa Festerne, skal den, der kommer ind gennem Nordporten for at tilbede, gaa ud gennem Sydporten, og den, der kommer ind gennem Sydporten, gaa ud gennem Nordporten; han maa ikke vende tilbage gennem den Port, han kom ind ad, men skal gaa ud paa den modsatte Side.
When the Israeli people come to worship me at the festivals that I have appointed, those who enter the temple area through the north entryway must go out through the south entryway. And those who enter through the south entryway must go out through the north entryway. People must not go out through the entryway through which they entered; they must go out through the opposite entryway.
10 Fyrsten skal være iblandt dem; naar de gaar ind, skal han ogsaa gaa ind, og naar de gaar ud, skal han ogsaa gaa ud.
The king must go in when the other people go in, and go out when the people go out.
11 Paa Festerne og Højtiderne skal Afgrødeofferet være en Efa med hver Tyr og ligeledes en Efa med hvem Væder, men med Lammene efter Behag; desuden en Hin Olie med hver Efa.
During the festivals and sacred feasts, the king must present a bushel of grain along with each bull or ram, and as much grain as he wants to bring, along with the lambs and (1 gallon/3.8 liters) of olive oil with each bushel of grain.
12 Naar Fyrsten ofrer et frivilligt Offer, et Brændoffer eller Takofre som frivilligt Offer til HERREN, skal man aabne Østporten for ham, og han skal ofre sit Brændoffer eller sine Takofre, som han gør paa Sabbatsdagen; og naar han er gaaet ud, skal man lukke Porten efter ham.
When the king gives an offering that is not required, either one to be completely burned [on the altar] or an offering to maintain fellowship with [me, Yahweh, the entryway on the east side of the courtyard] must be opened for him. Then he must present those offerings like he does on the Sabbath days. Then he must go out, and after he goes out, the entryway must be shut.
13 Et aargammelt, lydefrit Lam skal han daglig ofre som Brændoffer for HERREN; hver Morgen skal han ofre det;
Every day, during the morning, someone must provide a one-year-old lamb with no defects to be an offering to me that will be completely burned.
14 og dertil skal han hver Morgen som Afgrødeoffer ofre en Sjettedel Efa og til at fugte Melet desuden en Tredjedel Hin Olie; det er et Afgrødeoffer for HERREN, en evigt gældende Ordning.
Someone must also provide each morning an offering of flour. It must be one sixth of a bushel of flour mixed with one quart/liter of [olive] oil. These offerings of flour and olive oil to must be presented [to me], Yahweh, each day.
15 Saaledes skal de hver Morgen ofre Lammet, Afgrødeofferet og Olien som dagligt Brændoffer.
The lamb and the offering of flour and [olive] oil must be presented to me every morning, to be completely burned on the altar.
16 Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Naar Fyrsten giver en af sine Sønner en Gave af sin Arvelod, skal den tilhøre hans Sønner; den skal være deres arvelige Grundejendom;
This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare: If the king gives some of his land to one of his sons, to belong to him permanently, it will then belong to his son’s descendants forever.
17 men giver han en af sine Tjenere en Gave af sin Arvelod, skal den kun tilhøre ham til Frigivningsaaret; saa skal den vende tilbage til Fyrsten. Kun hans Sønner skal varigt eje en saadan Arvelod.
However, if he gives some of his land to one of his servants, the servant is allowed to keep that land until the Year of Celebration. Then the king will own it again; the king’s land must belong to his descendants forever.
18 Og Fyrsten maa ikke tage noget af Folkets Arvelod, idet han med Vold trænger dem ud af deres Grundejendom; af sin egen Grundejendom skal han give sine Sønner Arvelod, at ingen i mit Folk skal jages bort fra sin Grundejendom.
The king must not take any land that the people own and force them to live somewhere else. The land that he gives to his sons must be from his own property, [not from anyone else’s property], in order that none of my people will be forced to leave his own property.’”
19 Derpaa førte han mig ind gennem Indgangen ved Siden af Porten til de hellige Kamre, som var indrettet til Præsterne og vendte mod Nord, og se, der var et Rum i den inderste Krog mod Vest.
Then, [in the vision], the man [who was showing the temple area to me] brought me through the entrance alongside the entryway and led me to the sacred rooms on the north side, the rooms that the priests used, and he showed me a place at the western end [of those rooms].
20 Han sagde til mig: »Her er det Rum, hvor Præsterne skal koge Syndofferet og Skyldofferet og bage Afgrødeofferet for ikke at tvinges til at bringe det ud i den ydre Forgaard og saaledes hellige Folket.«
He said to me, “This is the place where the priests must cook the meat of the offerings that people bring in order to no longer be guilty for having sinned, and offerings for their sins, and where they will bake bread made with the flour brought to be offerings. [They will cook those things in their rooms] in order to avoid bringing them into the outer courtyard [to cook them there], lest someone [be punished because of] touching them.”
21 Saa bragte han mig ud i den ydre Forgaard og førte mig rundt til Forgaardens fire Hjørner, og se, i hvert Hjørne var der et Gaardsrum;
Then the man brought me to the outer courtyard and led me to its four corners. In each corner I saw an enclosed area;
22 i Forgaardens fire Hjørner var der smaa Gaardsrum, fyrretyve Alen lange og tredive Alen brede, alle fire lige store;
each of those areas was (70 feet/21.2 meters) long and (52-1/2 feet/15.9 meters) wide.
23 der var Mure rundt om dem alle fire, og der var indrettet Køkkener rundt om langs Murene.
Around the inside of each of those enclosed areas was a stone ledge, with places to make fires all around under each ledge.
24 Og han sagde til mig: »Her er Køkkenerne, hvor de, der gør Tjeneste i Templet, skal koge Folkets Slagtofre.«
The man said to me, “These are the kitchens where [the descendants of Levi] who work in the temple must cook the sacrifices that the people bring.”
