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.
In vigesimo quinto anno transmigrationis nostræ, in exordio anni, decima mensis, quartodecimo anno postquam percussa est civitas: in ipsa hac die facta est super me manus Domini, et adduxit me illuc.
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.
In visionibus Dei adduxit me in terram Israel, et dimisit me super montem excelsum nimis: super quem erat quasi ædificium civitatis vergentis ad Austrum.
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.
Et introduxit me illuc: et ecce vir, cuius erat species quasi species æris, et funiculus lineus in manu eius, et calamus mensuræ in manu eius: stabat autem in porta.
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.
Et locutus est ad me idem vir: Fili hominis vide oculis tuis, et auribus tuis audi, et pone cor tuum in omnia, quæ ego ostendam tibi: quia ut ostendantur tibi adductus es huc: annuncia omnia, quæ tu vides, domui Israel.
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.
Et ecce murus forinsecus in circuitu domus undique, et in manu viri calamus mensuræ sex cubitorum, et palmo: et mensus est latitudinem ædificii calamo uno, altitudinem quoque calamo uno.
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.
Et venit ad portam quæ respiciebat viam orientalem, et ascendit per gradus eius: et mensus est limen portæ calamo uno latitudinem, id est, limen unum calamo uno in latitudine:
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.
et thalamum uno calamo in longum, et uno calamo in latum: et inter thalamos, quinque cubitos:
8 He also measured the porch of the gate toward the house, one reed.
et limen portæ iuxta vestibulum portæ intrinsecus, calamo uno.
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.
Et mensus est vestibulum portæ octo cubitorum, et frontem eius duobus cubitis: vestibulum autem portæ erat intrinsecus.
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.
Porro thalami portæ ad viam Orientalem, tres hinc et tres inde: mensura una trium, et mensura una frontium ex utraque parte.
11 And he measured the breadth of the opening of the gate, ten cubits, and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits,
Et mensus est latitudinem liminis portæ, decem cubitorum: et longitudinem portæ, tredecim cubitorum:
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.
Et marginem ante thalamos cubiti unius: et cubitus unus finis utrimque: thalami autem, sex cubitorum erant hinc et inde.
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.
Et mensus est portam a tecto thalami, usque ad tectum eius, latitudinem vigintiquinque cubitorum: ostium contra ostium.
14 He also made posts, sixty cubits. And the court reached to the posts, round about the gate.
Et fecit frontes per sexaginta cubitos: et ad frontem atrium portæ undique per circuitum.
15 And from the forefront of the gate at the entrance to the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were fifty cubits.
Et ante faciem portæ, quæ pertingebat usque ad faciem vestibuli portæ interioris, quinquaginta cubitos.
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.
Et fenestras obliquas in thalamis, et in frontibus eorum, quæ erant intra portam undique per circuitum: similiter autem erant et in vestibulis fenestræ per gyrum intrinsecus, et ante frontes pictura palmarum.
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.
Et eduxit me ad atrium exterius, et ecce gazophylacia, et pavimentum stratum lapide in atrio per circuitum: triginta gazophylacia in circuitu pavimenti.
18 And the pavement was by the side of the gates, answerable to the length of the gates, even the lower pavement.
Et pavimentum in fronte portarum secundum longitudinem portarum erat inferius.
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.
Et mensus est latitudinem a facie portæ inferioris usque ad frontem atrii interioris extrinsecus, centum cubitos ad Orientem, et ad Aquilonem.
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.
Portam quoque, quæ respiciebat viam Aquilonis atrii exterioris, mensus est tam in longitudine, quam in latitudine.
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.
Et thalamos eius tres hinc, et tres inde: et frontem eius, et vestibulum eius secundum mensuram portæ prioris, quinquaginta cubitorum longitudinem eius, et latitudinem viginti quinque cubitorum.
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.
Fenestræ autem eius, et vestibulum, et sculpturæ secundum mensuram portæ, quæ respiciebat ad Orientem: et septem graduum erat ascensus eius, et vestibulum ante eam.
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.
Et porta atrii interioris contra portam Aquilonis, et Orientalem: et mensus est a porta usque ad portam centum cubitos.
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.
Et eduxit me ad viam australem, et ecce porta, quæ respiciebat ad Austrum: et mensus est frontem eius, et vestibulum eius iuxta mensuras superiores.
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.
Et fenestras eius, et vestibula in circuitu, sicut fenestras ceteras: quinquaginta cubitorum longitudine, et latitudine vigintiquinque cubitorum.
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.
Et in gradibus septem ascendebatur ad eam: et vestibulum ante fores eius: et cælatæ palmæ erant, una hinc, et altera inde in fronte eius.
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.
Et porta atrii interioris in via australi: et mensus est a porta usque ad portam in via australi, centum cubitos.
28 Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate. And he measured the south gate according to these measures,
Et introduxit me in atrium interius ad portam australem: et mensus est portam iuxta mensuras superiores.
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.
Thalamum eius, et frontem eius, et vestibulum eius eisdem mensuris: et fenestras eius, et vestibulum eius in circuitu quinquaginta cubitos longitudinis, et latitudinis vigintiquinque cubitos.
30 And there were arches round about, twenty-five cubits long, and five cubits broad.
Et vestibulum per gyrum longitudine vigintiquinque cubitorum, et latitudine quinque cubitorum.
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.
Et vestibulum eius ad atrium exterius, et palmas eius in fronte: et octo gradus erant, quibus ascendebatur per eam.
32 And he brought me into the inner court toward the east. And he measured the gate according to these measures,
Et introduxit me in atrium interius per viam orientalem: et mensus est portam secundum mensuras superiores.
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.
Thalamum eius, et frontem eius, et vestibulum eius sicut supra: et fenestras eius, et vestibula eius in circuitu, longitudine quinquaginta cubitorum, et latitudine vigintiquinque cubitorum.
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.
Et vestibulum eius, id est, atrii exterioris: et palmæ cælatæ in fronte eius hinc et inde: et in octo gradibus ascensus eius.
35 And he brought me to the north gate. And he measured it according to these measures,
Et introduxit me ad portam, quæ respiciebat ad Aquilonem: et mensus est secundum mensuras superiores.
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.
Thalamum eius, et frontem eius, et vestibulum eius, et fenestras eius per circuitum, longitudine quinquaginta cubitorum, et latitudine vigintiquinque cubitorum.
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.
Et vestibulum eius respiciebat ad atrium exterius: et cælatura palmarum in fronte eius hinc et inde: et in octo gradibus ascensus eius.
38 And a chamber with the door of it was by the posts at the gates. There they washed the burnt offering.
Et per singula gazophylacia ostium in frontibus portarum: ibi lavabant holocaustum.
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.
Et in vestibulo portæ, duæ mensæ hinc, et duæ mensæ inde: ut immoletur super eas holocaustum, et pro peccato, et pro delicto.
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.
Et ad latus exterius, quod ascendit ad ostium portæ, quæ pergit ad Aquilonem, duæ mensæ: et ad latus alterum ante vestibulum portæ, duæ mensæ.
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.
Quattuor mensæ hinc, et quattuor mensæ inde: per latera portæ octo mensæ erant, super quas immolabant.
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.
Quattuor autem mensæ ad holocaustum, de lapidibus quadris extructæ: longitudine cubiti unius et dimidii: et latitudine cubiti unius et dimidii: et altitudine cubiti unius: super quas ponant vasa, in quibus immolatur holocaustum, et victima.
43 And the hooks, a handbreadth long, were fastened inside round about. And upon the tables was the flesh of the oblation.
Et labia earum palmi unius, reflexa intrinsecus per circuitum: super mensas autem carnes oblationis.
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.
Et extra portam interiorem gazophylacia cantorum in atrio interiori, quod erat in latere portæ respicientis ad Aquilonem: et facies eorum contra viam Australem, una ex latere portæ Orientalis, quæ respiciebat ad viam Aquilonis.
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.
Et dixit ad me: Hoc est gazophylacium, quod respicit viam Meridianam, sacerdotum erit, qui excubant in custodiis templi.
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.
Porro gazophylacium, quod respicit ad viam Aquilonis, sacerdotum erit, qui excubant ad ministerium altaris. Isti sunt filii Sadoc, qui accedunt de filiis Levi ad Dominum ut ministrent ei.
47 And he measured the court, a hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits broad, foursquare. And the altar was before the house.
Et mensus est atrium longitudine centum cubitorum, et latitudine centum cubitorum per quadrum: et altare ante faciem templi.
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.
Et introduxit me in vestibulum templi: et mensus est vestibulum quinque cubitis hinc, et quinque cubitis inde: et latitudinem portæ trium cubitorum hinc, et trium cubitorum inde.
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.
Longitudinem autem vestibuli viginti cubitorum, et latitudinem undecim cubitorum, et octo gradibus ascendebatur ad eam. Et columnæ erant in frontibus: una hinc, et altera inde.
