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 five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, the tenth day of the month, the fourteenth year after the city was destroyed: in the selfsame day the hand of the Lord was upon me, and he brought me thither.

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 brought me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain: upon which there was as the building of a city, bending towards the south.

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.

And he brought me in thither, and behold a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed in his hand, and he stood in the gate.

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 this man said to me: Son of man, see with thy eyes, and hear with thy ears, and set thy heart upon all that I shall shew thee: for thou art brought hither that they may be shewn to thee: declare all that thou seest, to the house 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 behold there was a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed of six cubits and a handbreadth: and he measured the breadth of the building one reed, and the height one reed.

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,

And he came to the gate that looked toward the east, and he went up the steps thereof: and he measured the breadth of the threshold of the gate one reed, that is, one threshold was one reed broad:

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 every little chamber was one reed long, and one reed broad: and between the little chambers were five cubits:

8 der vendte indad i Porten, til eet Mål.

And the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within, was one reed.

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

And he measured the porch of the gate eight cubits, and the front thereof two cubits: and the porch of the gate was inward.

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 little chambers of the gate that looked eastward were three on this side, and three on that side: all three were of one measure, and the fronts of one measure, on both parts.

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

And he measured the breadth of the threshold of the gate ten cubits: and the length of the gate 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 border before the little chambers one cubit: and one cubit was the border on both sides: and the little chambers were six cubits on this side and that side.

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 measured the gate from the roof of one little chamber to the roof of another, in breadth five and twenty cubits: door against door.

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

He made also fronts of sixty cubits: and to the front the court of the gate on every side round about.

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

And before the face of the gate which reached even to the face of the porch of the inner gate, 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 slanting windows in the little chambers, and in their fronts, which were within the gate on every side round about: and in like, manner there wore also in the porches windows round about within, and before the fronts the representation of 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.

And he brought me into the outward court, and behold there were chambers, and a pavement of stone in the court round about: thirty chambers encompassed the pavement.

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

And the pavement in the front of the gates according to the length of the gates was lower.

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,

And he measured the breadth from the face of the lower gate to the front of the inner court without, a hundred cubits to the east, and to the north.

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

He measured also both the length and the breadth of the gate of the outward court, which looked northward.

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 the little chambers thereof three on this side, and three on that side: and the front thereof, and the porch thereof according to the measure of the former gate, fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.

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 the windows thereof, and the porch, and the gravings according to the measure of the gate that looked to the east, and they went up to it by seven steps, and a porch was before it.

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 the gate of the inner court was over against the gate of the north, and that of the ease: and he measured from gate to gate 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 brought me out to the way of the south, and behold the gate that looked to the south: and he measured the front thereof, and the porch thereof according to the former 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 the windows thereof, and the porches round about, as the other windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.

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 to go up to it: and a porch before the doors thereof: and there were graven palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side in the front thereof.

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 gate of the inner court towards the south: and he measured from gate to gate towards 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,

And he brought me into the inner court at the south gate: and he measured the gate according to the former 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.

The little chamber thereof, and the front thereof, and the porch thereof with the same measures: and the windows thereof, and the porch thereof round about it was fifty cubits in length, and five and twenty cubits in breadth.

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

And the porch round about was five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad.

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

And the porch thereof to the outward court, and the palm trees thereof in the front: and there were eight steps to go up to It.

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

And he brought me into the inner court by the way of the east: and he measured the gate according to the former 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.

The little chamber thereof, and the front thereof, and the porch thereof as before: and the windows thereof, and the porches thereof round about it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.

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

And the porch thereof, that is, of the outward court: and the graven palm trees in the front thereof on this side and on that side: and the going up thereof was by eight steps.

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

And he brought me into the gate that looked to the north: and he measured according to the former 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.

The little chamber thereof, and the front thereof, and the porch thereof, and the windows thereof round about it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.

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

And the porch thereof looked to the outward court: and the graving of palm trees in the front thereof was on this side and on that side: and the going up to it was by eight steps.

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

And at every chamber was a door in the forefronts of the gates: there they washed the holocaust.

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 porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side: that the holocaust, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering might be slain thereon.

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

And on the outward side, which goeth up to the entry of the gate that looketh toward the north, were two tables. and at the other side before the porch of the gate were two tables.

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

Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side: at the sides of the gate were eight tables, upon which they slew the victims.

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 the four tables for the holocausts were made of square stones: one cubit and a half long, and one cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high: to lay the vessels upon, in which the holocaust and the victim is slain.

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 the borders of them were of one handbreadth, turned inwards round about: and upon the tables was the flesh of the offering.

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 without the inner gate were the chambers of the singing men in the inner court, which was on the side of the gate that looketh to the north: and their prospect was towards the south, one at the side of the east gate, which looketh toward the 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 chamber, which looketh toward the south shall be for the priests that watch in the wards of the temple.

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."

But the chamber that looketh towards the north shall be for the priests that watch over the ministry of the altar. These are the sons of Sadoc, who among the sons of Levi, come near to the Lord, to minister to him.

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

And he measured the court a hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits broad foursquare: and the altar that was before the face of the temple.

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,

And he brought me into the porch of the temple: and he measured the porch five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side.

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.

And the length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits, and there were eight, steps to go up to it. And there were pillars in the fronts: one on this side, and another on that side.
