Ezekiel 40

1 In the twenty-fifth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was smitten, in the selfsame day, the hand of Jehovah was upon me, and he brought me there.

Idet fem og tyvende Aar, efter at vi vare bortførte, i Aarets Begyndelse, paa den tiende Dag i Maaneden, det fjortende Aar efter at Staden var bleven indtagen — paa denne Dag kom Herrens Haand over mig og førte mig derhen.

2 He brought me in the visions of God into the land of Israel, and set me down upon a very high mountain, upon which was as it were the frame of a city on the south.

I Syner fra Gud førte han mig til Israels Land og satte mig paa et saare højt Bjerg, og oven paa dette saa det ud, som man byggede en Stad imod Syd.

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

Da han havde ført mig derhen, se, da var der en Mand, hvis Udseende var som Udseendet af Kobber, og der var en Hørgarnssnor og en Maalestok i hans Haand, og han stod i Porten.

4 And the man said to me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thy heart upon all that I shall show thee. For thou are brought here to the intent that I may show them to thee. Declare all that thou see to the house of Israel.

Og Manden talte til mig: Du Menneskesøn! se til med dine Øjne, og hør med dine Øren, og ret dit Hjerte til alt det, som jeg vil lade dig se; thi du er ført hid, for at jeg skal lade dig se det; forkynd Israels Hus alt det, du ser.

5 And, behold, a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand a measuring reed six cubits long, of a cubit and a handbreadth each. So he measured the thickness of the building, one reed, and the height, one reed.

Og se, der gik en Mur uden om Huset trindt omkring, og i Mandens Haand var der en Maalestok, seks Alen lang, hver Alen en almindelig Alen og en Haandbred, og han maalte Murens Tykkelse eet Maal, og Højden eet Maal.

6 Then he came to the gate which looks toward the east, and went up the steps of it. And he measured the threshold of the gate, one reed broad, and the other threshold, one reed broad.

Og han kom til Porten, som vendte imod Østen, og gik op ad dens Trappetrin; og han maalte Portens Dørtærskel til eet Maal i Bredden, den ene Dørtærskel til eet Maal i Bredden;

7 And every little chamber was one reed long, and one reed broad, and the space between the little chambers was five cubits. And the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate toward the house was one reed.

og Vagtkamre, hvert til eet Maal i Længden, og eet Maal i Bredden og fem Alen imellem Vagtkamrene, og Portens Dørtærskel ved Siden af Portens Forhal, set indenfra, til eet Maal.

8 He also measured the porch of the gate toward the house, one reed.

Og han maalte Portens Forhal, set indenfra, til eet Maal.

9 Then he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits, and the posts thereof, two cubits. And the porch of the gate was toward the house.

Og han maalte Portens Forhal til otte Alen, og dens Piller til to Alen, og Portens Forhal vendte indad.

10 And the little chambers of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; those three were of one measure. And the posts had one measure on this side and on that side.

Og Vagtkamrene i Porten imod Øst vare tre paa denne og tre paa hin Side, de tre havde ens Maal, og ens Maal havde Pillerne paa denne og paa hin Side.

11 And he measured the breadth of the opening of the gate, ten cubits, and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits,

Og jhan maalte Portaabningens Bredde til ti Alen og Portens Længde til tretten Alen.

12 and a border before the little chambers, one cubit on this side, and a border, one cubit on that side, and the little chambers, six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.

Og der var en afgrænset Plads foran Vagtkamrene af een Alen paa denne og en afgrænset Plads af een Alen paa hin Side; og hvert Vagtkammer var seks Alen paa denne og seks Alen paa den anden Side.

13 And he measured the gate from the roof of the one little chamber to the roof of the other, a breadth of twenty-five cubits, door against door.

Og han maalte Porten, fra det ene Vagtkammers Tag indtil det andets Tag, til fem og tyve Alen i Bredden, Dør, imod Dør.

14 He also made posts, sixty cubits. And the court reached to the posts, round about the gate.

Og han satte Pillerne til tresindstyve Alen, og til Pillerne stødte Forgaarden, trindt omkring Porten.

15 And from the forefront of the gate at the entrance to the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were fifty cubits.

Og fra Forsiden af Porten, hvor Indgangen er, indtil Forsiden af den indre Ports Forhal var der halvtredsindstyve Alen.

16 And there were closed windows to the little chambers, and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches. And windows were round about inward, and upon each post were palm trees.

Og der var snævrer Vinduer paa Vagtkamrene og paa deres Piller imod den indvendige Side af Porten trindt omkring og ligesaa paa de fremstaaende Sidemure, og der var Vinduer trindt omkring indadtil, og paa Pillerne var der Palmer.

17 Then he brought me into the outer court. And, lo, there were chambers and a pavement, made for the court round about; thirty chambers were upon the pavement.

Og han førte mig til den ydre Forgaard, og se, der var Kamre og et tavlet Stengulv, lagt i Forgaarden trindt omkring; der var tredive Kamre paa dette Gulv.

18 And the pavement was by the side of the gates, answerable to the length of the gates, even the lower pavement.

Og det tavlede Gulv stødte op til Portenes Side, i Bredden svarende til Portbygningernes Længde; dette var det nedre Gulv.

19 Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate to the forefront of the inner court outside, a hundred cubits, both on the east and on the north.

Og han maalte Bredden fra Forsiden af den nederste Port indtil Forsiden af den indre Forgaard, set udvendig fra, til hundrede Alen, den østre og nordre Side.

20 And the gate of the outer court whose view is toward the north, he measured the length of it and the breadth of it.

Og Porten, som vendte imod Nord, paa den ydre Forgaard, dens Længde og dens Bredde maalte han,

21 And the little chambers of it were three on this side and three on that side. And the posts of it and the arches of it were according to the measure of the first gate: the length of it was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits.

og dens Vagtkamre, tre paa denne og tre paa hin Side, og dens Piller og dens fremstaaende Sidemure; den var efter den første Ports Maal, halvtredsindstyve Alen var dens Længde og fem og tyve Alen Bredden.

22 And the windows of it, and the arches of it, and the palm trees of it, were according to the measure of the gate whose view is toward the east. And they went up to it by seven steps, and the arches of it were before them.

Og dens Vinduer og dens fremstaaende Sidemure og dens Palmer vare efter Maalet ved den Port, som vender imod Østen, og man gik ad syv Trappetrin op dertil, og dens fremstaaende Sidemure vare foran dem.

23 And there was a gate to the inner court opposite the other gate, both on the north and on the east, and he measured from gate to gate a hundred cubits.

Og en Port førte til den indre Forgaard, lige over for Porten, der gik ud til Nord og Øst, og han maalte fra Port til Port hundrede Alen.

24 And he led me toward the south. And, behold, a gate toward the south. And he measured the posts of it and the arches of it according to these measures.

Og han førte mig imod Sønden, og se, der var en Port imod Sønden, og han maalte dens Piller og dens fremstaaende Sidemure efter de samme Maal.

25 And there were windows in it, and in the arches of it round about, like those windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits.

Og der var Vinduer paa den og paa dens fremstaaende Sidemure trindt omkring, ligesom hine Vinduer; halvtredsindstyve Alen var Længden og fem og tyve Alen Bredden.

26 And there were seven steps to go up to it, and the arches of it were before them. And it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon the posts of it.

Og Opgangen dertil havde syv Trappetrin, og dens fremstaaende Sidemure vare foran dem, og den havde Palmer, een paa denne og een paa hin Side, paa dens Piller.

27 And there was a gate to the inner court toward the south. And he measured from gate to gate toward the south a hundred cubits.

Og en Port førte til den indre Forgaard imod Sønden, og han maalte fra Port til Port imod Sønden hundrede Alen.

28 Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate. And he measured the south gate according to these measures,

Og han førte mig til den indre Forgaard igennem den søndre Port, og han maalte den søndre Port etter det samme Maal,

29 and the little chambers of it, and the posts of it, and the arches of it, according to these measures. And there were windows in it and in the arches of it round about. It was fifty cubits long, and twenty-five cubits broad.

og dens Vagtkamre og dens Piller og dens fremstaaende Sidemure efter de samme Maal; og der var Vinduer paa den og paa dens fremstaaende Sidemure trindt omkring, halvtredsindstyve Alen var Længden og fem og tyve Alen Bredden.

30 And there were arches round about, twenty-five cubits long, and five cubits broad.

Og der var fremstaaende Sidemure trindt omkring, fem og tyve Alen var Længden og fem Alen Bredden.

31 And the arches of it were toward the outer court, and palm trees were upon the posts of it. And the ascent to it had eight steps.

Og dens fremstaaende Sidemure vendte imod den ydre Forgaard, og der var Palmer paa dens Piller, og Opgangen dertil var otte Trappetrin.

32 And he brought me into the inner court toward the east. And he measured the gate according to these measures,

Og han førte mig til den indre Forgaard, imod Østen, og han maalte Porten efter de samme Maal

33 and the little chambers of it, and the posts of it, and the arches of it, according to these measures. And there were windows in it and in the arches of it round about. It was fifty cubits long, and twenty-five cubits broad.

og dens Vagtkamre og dens Piller og dens fremstaaende Sidemure efter de samme Maal; og der var Vinduer paa den og paa dens fremstaaende Sidemure trindt omkring, halvtredsindstyve Alen var Længden og fem og tyve Alen Bredden.

34 And the arches of it were toward the outer court, and palm trees were upon the posts of it, on this side, and on that side. And the ascent to it had eight steps.

Og dens fremstaaende Sidemure vendte imod den ydre Forgaard, og der var Palmer paa dens Piller, paa denne og paa hin Side, og Opgangen dertil var otte Trappetrin.

35 And he brought me to the north gate. And he measured it according to these measures,

Og han førte mig til den nordre Port, og han maalte den efter de samme Maal,

36 the little chambers of it, the posts of it, and the arches of it. And there were windows in it round about. The length was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits.

dens Vagtkamre, dens Piller og dens fremstaaende Sidemure; og der var Vinduer paa den trindt omkring, halvtredsindstyve Alen var Længden og fem og tyve Alen Bredden.

37 And the posts of it were toward the outer court, and palm trees were upon the posts of it, on this side, and on that side. And the ascent to it had eight steps.

Og dens Piller vendte imod den ydre Forgaard, og der var Palmer paa dens Piller paa denne og paa hin Side, og Opgangen dertil var otte Trappetrin.

38 And a chamber with the door of it was by the posts at the gates. There they washed the burnt offering.

Og ved Pillerne ved Portene var der et Kammer med Dør; der skulde de afskylle Brændofferet.

39 And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to kill on it the burnt offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering.

Og i Portens Forhal stode to Borde paa denne og to Borde paa den anden Side, til derpaa at slagte Brændofferet og Syndofferet og Skyldofferet.

40 And on the one side outside, at the going up to the entry of the gate toward the north, were two tables, and on the other side, which belonged to the porch of the gate, were two tables.

Og ved Siden udenfor, til Nord, naar man stiger opad til Indgangen til Porten, stode to Borde, og ved den anden Side, fra Portens Forhal, stode to Borde,

41 Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate, eight tables, upon which they killed the sacrifices.

fire Borde paa denne og fire Borde paa den anden Side, ved Siden af Porten, i alt otte Borde, paa hvilke de skulde slagte.

42 And there were four tables for the burnt offering, of hewn stone, a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high, upon which they laid the instruments of which they killed the burnt offering and the sacrifice.

Og der var fire Borde ved Trappen, af hugne Stene, halvanden Alen lange og halvanden Alen brede og een Alen høje; paa dem skulde de lægge Redskaberne, med hvilke de skulde slagte Brændofferet og Slagtofferet.

43 And the hooks, a handbreadth long, were fastened inside round about. And upon the tables was the flesh of the oblation.

Og der var dobbelte Knage, som stode en Haandbred frem, befæstede paa Huset trindt omkring; og paa Bordene skulde Offerkødet lægges.

44 And outside the inner gate were chambers for the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate, and their view was toward the south, one at the side of the east gate having the view toward the north.

Og uden for den indre Port var der Kamre til Sangerne, inde i den indre Forgaard, som stødte op til Siden af den nordre Port, og deres Forside vendte imod Sønden; een Række var ved Siden af den østre Port, de vendte imod Nord.

45 And he said to me, This chamber, whose view is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house.

Og han talte til mig: Kamrene, hvis Forside vender imod Sønden, ere for Præsterne, som tage Vare paa, hvad der er at varetage ved Huset.

46 And the chamber whose view is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, who from among the sons of Levi come near to Jehovah to minister to him.

Og Kamrene, hvis Forside vender imod Nord, ere for Præsterne, som tage Vare paa, hvad der er at varetage ved Alteret; disse ere Zadoks Børn, hvilke ud af Levi Børns Tal staa Herren nær for at tjene ham.

47 And he measured the court, a hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits broad, foursquare. And the altar was before the house.

Og han maalte Forgaarden, Længden var hundrede Alen, og Bredden hundrede Alen, i Firkant, og Alteret stod lige for Huset.

48 Then he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side. And the breadth of the gate was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side.

Og han førte mig til Husets Forhal og maalte Forhallens Piller til fem Alen paa denne og fem Alen paa hin Side, og Portens Bredde var tre Alen til denne og tre Alen til den anden Side.

49 The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits, even by the steps by which they went up to it. And there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.

Forhallens Længde var tyve Alen og Bredden elleve Alen, og det paa Trappen, ad hvilken man gik op til den, og der stod Søjler ved Pillerne, een paa denne og een paa hin Side.
