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, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was struck, in the same day, the hand of the LORD was on me, and he brought 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 brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me down on a very high mountain, whereon was as it were the frame of a city on 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.

He brought me there; and, look, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; 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!"

The man said to me, "Son of man, see with your eyes, and hear with your ears, and set your heart on all that I shall show you; for, to the intent that I may show them to you, you are brought here: declare all that you see 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.

Look, a wall on the outside of the house all around, and in the man's hand a measuring reed ten feet four inches (based on a standard eighteen inches plus three inches). So he measured the thickness of the building ten feet four inches, and the height ten feet four inches.

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 came he to the gate which looks toward the east, and went up its steps: and he measured the threshold of the gate, ten feet four inches broad; and the other threshold, ten feet four inches 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,

Every side-room was ten feet four inches long, and one reed broad; and the space between the side-rooms was eight feet seven inches; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate at the inner end was ten feet four inches.

8 der vendte indad i Porten, til eet Mål.

He measured also the porch of the gate toward the house, ten feet four inches.

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

Then measured he the porch of the gate, thirteen feet nine inches; and its jambs, three feet five inches; and the porch of the gate was toward the inner end.

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.

The side-rooms of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure: and the jambs had the same measurement.

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

He measured the breadth of the opening of the gate, seventeen feet three inches; and the length of the gate, twenty-two feet five inches;

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

and a barrier in front of the side-rooms, twenty-one inches, and a barrier on the other side, twenty-one inches; and the side-rooms were ten feet four inches square.

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.

He measured the gate from the ceiling of the one side-room to the ceiling of the other, a breadth of fourty-three feet one inch; the openings being opposite each other.

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

He also measured the porch, one hundred three feet four inches; and to the jamb of the courtyard was the gateway all around.

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

From the forefront of the gate at the entrance to the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were eighty-six feet one inch.

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.

There were closed windows to the side-rooms, and toward their jambs within the gate all around, and likewise to the porches; and windows were around the inside; and on each jamb 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 brought me into the outer court; and look, there were rooms and a pavement, made for the court all around: thirty rooms faced the pavement.

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

The pavement was by the side of the gates, corresponding to the length of the gates; this was the lower pavement.

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 measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate to the forefront of the inner court outside, one hundred seventy-two feet three inches, both on the east and on 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 the gate of the outer court which faced toward the north, he measured its length and its breadth.

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 its side-rooms were three on either side, and its jambs and its porches had the same measurement as the first gate; its length was eighty-six feet one inch, and the breadth fourty-three feet one inch.

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 its porches, and the palm trees of it had the same measurement as the gate that faced toward the east. And they went up to it by seven steps; and its porch was in front of them.

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 gate to the inner court across the gate to the north and the east; and he measured from gate to gate one hundred seventy-two feet three inches.

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.

He led me toward the south; and look, a gate toward the south. And he measured its jambs and its porches; they were the same size as the others.

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

There were windows in it and in its porches all around, like those windows; the length was eighty-six feet one inch, and the breadth fourty-three feet one inch.

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

There were seven steps to go up to it, and its porches were in front of them; and it had palm trees on its jambs, one on either side.

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

There was a gate to the inner court toward the south. And he measured from gate to gate toward the south one hundred seventy-two feet three inches.

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

Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate, and it had the same dimensions as the others.

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 its side-rooms, and its jambs, and its porches were of the same size as the others. And there were windows in it and in its porches all around; it was eighty-six feet one inch long, and fourty-three feet one inch broad.

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

And there were porches all around, fourty-three feet one inch long, and eight feet seven inches broad.

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

And the porches of it faced the outer court, and palm trees were on its jambs, and its stairway had eight steps.

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

And he brought me to the inner court toward the east, and he measured the gate as being the same size;

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 its side-rooms, and its jambs, and its porches were the same size as the others, and there were windows in it and in its porches all around. It was eighty-six feet one inch long, and fourty-three feet one inch broad.

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

The porches of it faced the outer court; and palm trees were on its jambs, on either side, and its stairway had eight steps.

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

He brought me to the north gate, and he measured it; and it had the same dimensions as the others;

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 side-rooms, its jambs, and its porches. And there were windows in it all around; the length was eighty-six feet one inch, and the breadth fourty-three feet one inch.

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

And its porch faced the outer court; and palm trees were on its jambs, on either side, and its stairway had eight steps.

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

And a chamber with its door was by the porch of the gate; there they washed the burnt offering.

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 either side, and two tables on that side, on which to slaughter the burnt offering and the sin offering and guilt offering.

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 one side outside, as one goes up to the entrance of the north gate, were two tables; and on the other side of 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 either side of the gate, eight tables on which they slaughtered the sacrifices.

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.

There were four tables of carved stone for the burnt offering, two feet seven inches long, and two feet seven inches broad, and twenty-one inches high; on which they laid the instruments with which they slaughtered the burnt offering and the sacrifice.

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

The hooks, three inches long, were fastened all around within, and on 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 from the outside of the inner gate were two chambers in the inner court, one which was at the side of the north gate facing toward the south; and one at the side of the south gate facing 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,

He said to me, "This room that faces toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the duty 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 that faces toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the duty of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok, who from 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.

He measured the court, one hundred seventy-two feet three inches long, and one hundred seventy-two feet three inches broad, a 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 brought me to the porch of the house, and measured the jambs of the porch, eight feet seven inches on each side. And the breadth of the gate was twenty-four feet one inch, and the sides of the gate were five feet two inches on each 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.

The length of the porch was thirty-four feet five inches, and the breadth twenty feet eight inches. And they went up to it by ten steps; and there were pillars by the jambs on either side.
