Ezekiel 40

1 I det fem og tyvende år efter at vi var ført i landflygtighed, ved nytårstide, på den tiende dag i Måneden i det fjortende År efter Byens indtagelse, netop på den Dag kom HERRENs Hånd over mig, og han førte mig

In the twenty-fifth year after we had been taken away prisoners, in the first month of the year, on the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the town was taken, on the very same day, the hand of the Lord was on me, and he took me there.

2 i Guds Syner til Israels Land og satte mig på et såre højt Bjerg, og på det var der bygget noget som en By mod Syd;

In the visions of God he took me into the land of Israel, and put me down on a very high mountain, on which there was, as it seemed, a building like a town opposite me.

3 og da han havde ført mig derhen, se, da var der en Mand som Kobber at se til med en Hørgarnssnor og en Målestang i Hånden, og han stod ved Porten.

He took me there, and I saw a man, looking like brass, with a linen cord in his hand and a measuring rod: and he was stationed in the doorway.

4 Manden sagde til mig: "Menneskesøn, se med dine Øjne, hør med dine Ører og læg vel Mærke til alt, hvad jeg viser dig; thi du er ført hid, for at jeg skal vise dig det. Kundgør Israels Hus alt, hvad du ser!"

And the man said to me, Son of man, see with your eyes and give hearing with your ears, and take to heart everything I am going to let you see; for in order that I might let you see them, you have come here: and give an account of all you see to the children of Israel.

5 Og se, der var en Mur uden om Templet til alle Sider. Manden holdt i Hånden en Målestang. som var seks Alen lang, en Alen en Håndsbred længere end sædvanlig", og han målte Muren; den var eet Mål bred og eet Mål høj.

And there was a wall on the outside of the house all round, and in the man's hand there was a measuring rod six cubits long by a cubit and a hand's measure: so he took the measure of the building from side to side, one rod; and from base to top, one rod.

6 Så gik han op ad syv Trappetrin ind i den Port, hvis Forside vendte mod Øst; og han målte Portens Tærskel til eet Mål i Bredden,

Then he came to the doorway looking to the east, and went up by its steps; and he took the measure of the doorstep, one rod wide.

7 hvert af Portens Siderum ligeledes til eet Mål i Længden og eet i Bredden, Murpillerne mellem Siderummene til fem Alen og Tærskelen ved Portens Forhal på den Side,

And the watchmen's rooms were one rod long and one rod wide; and the space between the rooms was five cubits; the doorstep of the doorway, by the covered way of the doorway inside, was one rod.

8 der vendte indad i Porten, til eet Mål.

And he took the measure of the covered way of the doorway inside,

9 Og han målte Portens Forhal til otte Alen og dens Murpiller til to; Portens Forhal lå på indersiden.

Eight cubits; and its uprights, two cubits; the covered way of the doorway was inside.

10 Portens Siderum, tre på hver Side, lå over for hverandre; de var lige store alle tre; også Murpillerne på begge Sider var lige store.

And the rooms of the doorway on the east were three on this side and three on that; all three were of the same size; and the uprights on this side and on that were of the same size.

11 Så målte han Portindgangens Bredde til ti Alen og Portgangens til tretten.

And he took the measure of the opening of the doorway, ten cubits wide; and the way down the doorway was thirteen cubits;

12 Foran Siderummene var der på begge Sider afspærrede Pladser på een Alen, og selve Siderummene på begge Sider var seks Alen.

And the space in front of the rooms, a cubit on this side and a cubit on that side; and the rooms six cubits on this side and six cubits on that.

13 Så målte han Porten fra Indervæggen i et Siderum til Indervæggen i Siderummet lige overfor til en Bredde af fem og tyve Alen, Dør over for Dør.

And he took the measure of the doorway from the back of one room to the back of the other, twenty-five cubits across, from door to door.

14 Så målte han Forhallen til tyve Alen; og Forgården omgav Portens Forhal".

And he took the measure of the covered way, twenty cubits; and opening from the covered way of the doorway was the open square round about.

15 Fra Portens Forside udad til Portforhallens Forside indad var der halvtredsindstyve Alen.

And from before the opening of the doorway to before the inner covered way of the doorway was fifty cubits.

16 Porten havde på begge Sider Gittervinduer, som udvidede sig indad i Siderummene og deres Murpiller; ligeledes havde Forhallen på alle Sider Vinduer, som udvidede sig indad. På Murpillerne til begge Sider var der Palmer.

And the rooms and their uprights had sloping windows inside the doorway all round, and in the same way the covered way had windows all round on the inside: and on every upright there were palm-trees.

17 Derpå førte han mig ind i den ydre Forgård. Og se, der var Kamre, og Forgården rundt var der et stenlagt Stykke; der var tredive Kamre på Stenlægningen.

Then he took me into the outer square, and there were rooms and a stone floor made for the open square all round: there were thirty rooms on the stone floor.

18 Det stenlagte Stykke stødte op til Portenes Sidemure, lige så bredt som Portene var lange; det var den nedre Stenlægning.

And the stone floor was by the side of the doorways, and was as wide as the doorways were long, even the lower floor.

19 Han målte Forgårdens Bredde fra den nedre Ports indre Forside til den indre Ports ydre Forside til hundrede Alen. Og han førte mig mod Nord,

Then he took the measure of the square across, from before the lower doorway inside to before the inner doorway outside, one hundred cubits. And he took me in the direction of the north,

20 og se, der var en Port, som vendte mod Nord, i den ydre Forgård, og han målte dens Længde og Bredde.

And there was a doorway to the outer square, looking to the north; and he took the measure of it to see how wide and how long it was.

21 Den havde tre Siderum til hver Side, og Murpillerne og Forhallen havde samme Mål som i den første Port; den var halvtredsindstyve Alen lang og fem og tyve Alen bred.

And it had three rooms on this side of it and three on that; its uprights and its covered ways were the same size as those of the first doorway: it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

22 Vinduer, Forhal og Palmer havde samme Mål som i den Port, hvis Forside vendte mod Øst; ad syv Trin steg man op dertil, og Forhallen lå inderst inde.

And its windows, and the windows of its covered ways, and its palm-trees, were the same as those of the doorway looking to the east; and there were seven steps up to it; and the covered way went inside.

23 En Port til den indre Forgård lå over for Nordporten, ligesom Forholdet var ved Østporten; og han målte fra Port til Port hundrede Alen.

And there was a doorway to the inner square opposite the doorway on the north, like the doorway on the east; and he took the measure from doorway to doorway, a hundred cubits.

24 Så førte han mig mod Syd og se, der var også en Port mod Syd, og han målte dens Murpiller og Forhal; de havde samme Mål som de andre.

And he took me to the south, and I saw a doorway looking to the south: and he took the measure of its rooms and its uprights and its covered ways by these measures.

25 Porten og dens Forhal havde Vinduer af samme Slags som de andre. Den var halvtredsindstyve Alen lang og fem og tyve Alen bred;

And there were windows in it and in the covered way all round, like the other windows: it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

26 syv Trin førte op til den; Forhallen lå inderst inde, og der var Palmer på Murpillerne til begge Sider.

And there were seven steps up to it, and its covered way went inside: and it had palm-trees, one on this side and one on that, on its uprights.

27 Endelig var der en Port til den indre Forgård over for Sydporten: han målte hundrede Alen fra Port til Port.

And there was a doorway to the inner square looking to the south: he took the measure from doorway to doorway to the south, a hundred cubits.

28 Derpå førte han mig til den indre Forgård gennem Sydporten, og den målte han; den havde samme Størrelse som de andre,

Then he took me to the inner square by the south doorway: and he took the measure of the south doorway by these measures;

29 og dens Siderum, Murpiller og Forhal havde samme Størrelse som de andre; Porten og dens Forhal havde Vinduer rundt om. Den var halvtredsindstyve Alen lang og fem og tyve Alen bred.

And the rooms in it and the uprights and the covered ways, by these measures:

30 (Der var Forhaller rundt om, fem og tyve Alen lange og fem Alenbrede.

And there were windows in it and in the covered way all round: it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

31 Forhallen vendte ud mod den ydre Forgård med Palmer på Murpillerne, og otte Trin dannede dens Opgang.

The covered way was on the side nearest the outer square; and there were palm-trees on the uprights: and there were eight steps going up to it.

32 Så førte han mig til Østporten og målte denne Port; den havde samme Størrelse som de andre,

And he took me into the inner square facing the east: and he took the measure of the doorway by these measures;

33 og Siderum, Murpiller og Forgård havde samme Størrelse som de andre; Porten og dens Forhal havde Vinduer rundt om. Den var halvtredsindstyve Alen lang og fem og tyve Alen bred.

And of the rooms in it and its uprights and its covered ways, by these measures: and there were windows in it and in the covered way round about: it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

34 Forhallen vendte ud mod den ydre Forgård med Palmer på Murpillerne til begge Sider, og otte Trin dannede dens Opgang.

And the covered way was on the side nearest the outer square; there were palm-trees on the uprights, on this side and on that: and there were eight steps going up to it.

35 Så førte han mig til Nordporten og målte den; den havde samme Størrelse som de andre,

And he took me to the north doorway: and he took the measure of it by these measures;

36 ligeledes Siderum, Murpiller og Forhal; Porten og dens Forhal havde Vinduer rundt om. Den var halvtredsindstyve Alen lang og fem og tyve Alen bred.

Its rooms, its uprights, and its covered way had the same measures, and its covered way had windows all round: it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

37 Forhallen vendte ud mod den ydre Forgård med Palmer på Murpillerne til begge Sider, og otte Trin dannede dens Opgang.

Its uprights were on the side nearest to the outer square; there were palm-trees on the uprights, on this side and on that: and there were eight steps going up to it.

38 Derpå vendte han sig til det Indre, idet han førte mig til Østporten; der skyllede man Brændofferet

And there was a room with a door in the covered way of the doorway, where the burned offering was washed.

39 Og i Portens Forhal stod to Borde på den ene Side og to på den anden til at slagte Brændofferet, Syndofferet og Skyldofferet på.

And in the covered way of the doorway there were two tables on this side and two tables on that side, on which the burned offering and the sin-offering and the offering for error were put to death:

40 Også ved det ydre Hjørne, mod Nord når man steg op i Portindgangen, stod to Borde og ved Portforhallens andet Hjørne andre to,

On the outer side, to the north, as one goes up to the opening of the doorway, were two tables.

41 fire Borde på hver Side ved Portens Hjørner, i alt otte. På dem slagtede man Slagtofferet.

There were four tables on one side and four tables on the other, by the side of the doorway; eight tables, on which they put to death the beasts for the offerings.

42 Og, til Brændofferet stod der tre Kvaderstensborde, halvanden Alen lange, halvanden Alen brede og en Alen høje; på dem lagde man de Redskaber, med hvilke man slagtede Brændofferet og Slagtofferet.

And there were four tables for the burned offering, made of cut stone, one and a half cubits long, one and a half cubits wide and a cubit high, where the instruments were placed which were used for putting to death the burned offering and the beasts for the offerings.

43 De havde hele Vejen rundt en Rand på en Håndsbred, der vendte indad; og oven over Bordene var der Tage til Værn mod Regn og Sol. Derpå førte han mig atter

And they had edges all round as wide as a man's hand: and on the tables was the flesh of the offerings.

44 til den indre Forgård, og se, der var to Kamre, et ved Nordportens Hjørne med Forsiden mod Syd og et andet ved Sydportens Hjørne med Forsiden mod Nord.

And he took me into the inner square, and there were two rooms in the inner square, one at the side of the north doorway, facing south; and one at the side of the south doorway, facing north.

45 Og han sagde til mig: "Kammeret her, hvis Forside vender mod Syd, er for Præsterne, der tager Vare på, hvad der er at varetage i Templet,

And he said to me, This room, facing south, is for the priests who have the care of the house.

46 og Kammeret der, hvis Forside vender mod Nord, er for Præsterne, der tager Vare på, hvad der er at varetage ved Alteret. Det er Zadoks Sønoer, som alene af Levis Sønner må nærme sig HERREN for at tjene ham."

And the room facing north is for the priests who have the care of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok, who, from among the sons of Levi, come near to the Lord to do the work of his house.

47 Så målte han Forgården; den var hundrede Alen lang og hundrede Alen bred i Firkant; og Alteret stod foran Templet.

And he took the measure of the open square, a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide, being square; and the altar was in front of the house.

48 Derpå førte han mig til Templets Forhal og målte Forhallens Piller"; de var fem Alen brede på begge Sider; Porten var fjorten Alen bred og dens Sidevægge tre Alen på begge Sider,

Then he took me to the covered way before the house, and took the measure of its uprights, five cubits on one side and five cubits on the other: and the doorway was fourteen cubits wide; and the side-walls of the doorway were three cubits on one side and three cubits on the other.

49 og Forhallen var tyve Alen lang og tolv Alen bred. Ad ti Trin steg man op til den; og der stod Søjler op ad Pillerne, een på hver Side.

The covered way was twenty cubits long and twelve cubits wide, and they went up to it by ten steps; and there were pillars by the uprights, one on one side and one on the other.
