Ezekiel 43

1 Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looks toward the east.

١ ثُمَّ أَحْضَرَنِي إِلَى الْبَابِ الْمُتَّجِهِ نَحْوَ الشَّرْقِ،

2 Behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. His voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth was illuminated with his glory.

٢ وَإذَا بِمَجْدِ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مُقْبِلٌ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ، وَصَوْتُهُ كَهَدِيرِ تَدَفُّقِ مِيَاهٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، فَأَضَاءَتِ الأَرْضُ مِنْ مَجْدِهِ.

3 It was like the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city; and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.

٣ وَكَانَتِ الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي شَاهَدْتُهَا مُمَاثِلَةً لِلرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي تَجَلَّتْ لِي عِنْدَمَا جَاءَ الرَّبُّ لِتَدْمِيرِ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَكَالرُّؤَى الَّتِي شَاهَدْتُهَا عِنْدَ نَهْرِ خَابُورَ. فَانْطَرَحْتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي،

4 The LORD’s glory came into the house by the way of the gate which faces toward the east.

٤ وَعَبَرَ مَجْدُ الرَّبِّ إِلَى الْهَيْكَلِ مِنَ الْبَابِ الْمُتَّجِهِ نَحْوَ طَرِيقِ الشَّرْقِ،

5 The Spirit took me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the LORD’s glory filled the house.

٥ فَنَقَلَنِي الرُّوحُ إِلَى السَّاحَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ، وَإذَا بِمَجْدِ الرَّبِّ قَدْ غَمَرَ الْهَيْكَلَ،

6 I heard one speaking to me out of the house, and a man stood by me.

٦ وَالْمَلاكُ مَازَالَ وَاقِفاً إِلَى جُوَارِي، فَسَمِعْتُ مَنْ يُخَاطِبُنِي مِنَ الْهَيْكَلِ،

7 He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell among the children of Israel forever. The house of Israel will no more defile my holy name, neither they nor their kings, by their prostitution and by the dead bodies of their kings in their high places;

٧ يَقُولُ لِي: يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، هَذَا مَقَرُّ عَرْشِي وَمُسْتَقَرُّ بَاطِنِ قَدَمَيَّ، حَيْثُ أُقِيمُ بَيْنَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. وَلَنْ يُنَجِّسَ شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلا مُلُوكُهُمْ بَعْدُ اسْمِي الْقُدُّوسَ بِمَا يَرْتَكِبُونَهُ مِنْ زِنىً، وَدَفْنِ جُثَثِ مُلُوكِهِمْ فِي مُرْتَفَعَاتِهِمْ،

8 in their setting of their threshold by my threshold and their door post beside my door post. There was a wall between me and them; and they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed. Therefore I have consumed them in my anger.

٨ إِذْ شَيَّدُوا عَتَبَاتِ مَعَابِدِ آلِهَتِهِمْ إِلَى جُوَارِ عَتَبَتِي، وَقَوَائِمَهَا إِلَى جُوَارِ قَوَائِمِ هَيْكَلِي، لَا يَفْصِلُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ سِوَى حَائِطٍ. وَهَكَذَا دَنَّسُوا اسْمِي الْقُدُّوسَ بِرَجَاسَاتِهِمِ الَّتِي ارْتَكَبُوهَا، فَأَفْنَيْتُهُمْ فِي حَنَقِي.

9 Now let them put away their prostitution, and the dead bodies of their kings far from me. Then I will dwell among them forever.

٩ فَلْيُبْعِدُوا عَنِّي زِنَاهُمْ وَجُثَثَ مُلُوكِهِمْ، فَأُقِيمَ بَيْنَهُمْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

10 “You, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.

١٠ أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ فَصِفْ لِشَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الْهَيْكَلَ وَمَقَايِيسَ تَصْمِيمِهِ وَرَسْمِهِ لِيَخْجَلُوا مِنْ آثَامِهِمْ،

11 If they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the form of the house, its fashion, its exits, its entrances, its structure, all its ordinances, all its forms, and all its laws; and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form of it, and all its ordinances, and do them.

١١ فَإِنِ اعْتَرَاهُمُ الْخِزْيُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَا اقْتَرَفُوهُ مِنْ رِجْسٍ، فَأَطْلِعْهُمْ عَلَى تَصَامِيمِ الْهَيْكَلِ وَرَسْمِهِ وَتَفَاصِيلِ مَخَارِجِهِ وَمَدَاخِلِهِ وَأَشْكَالِهِ وَكُلِّ فَرَائِضِهِ وَشَرَائِعِهِ. وَدَوِّنْ ذَلِكَ أَمَامَهُمْ، لِيَحْفَظُوا جَمِيعَ شَرَائِعِهِ وَأَحْكَامِهِ وَيُمَارِسُوهَا.

12 “This is the law of the house. On the top of the mountain the whole limit around it shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.

١٢ وَهَذِهِ هِيَ شَرِيعَةُ الْهَيْكَلِ: إِنَّ رَأْسَ الْجَبَلِ وَكُلَّ الْمِنْطَقَةِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِهِ، هِيَ قُدْسُ أَقْدَاسٍ.

13 “These are the measurements of the altar by cubits (the cubit is a cubit and a hand width): the bottom shall be a cubit, and the width a cubit, and its border around its edge a span; and this shall be the base of the altar.

١٣ وَهَذِهِ هِيَ مَقَايِيسُ الْمَذْبَحِ بِالأَذْرُعِ (وَالأَمْتَارِ): ارْتِفَاعُ الْقَاعِدَةِ ذِرَاعٌ (نَحْوَ نِصْفِ مِتْرٍ)، وَعَرْضُهَا ذِرَاعٌ (نَحْوَ نِصْفِ مِتْرٍ)، وَارْتِفَاعُ حَافَّتِهَا نَحْوَ شِبْرٍ وَاحِدٍ.

14 From the bottom on the ground to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the width one cubit; and from the lesser ledge to the greater ledge shall be four cubits, and the width a cubit.

١٤ وَمِنْ قَاعِدَةِ الْمَذْبَحِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ إِلَى الْحَافَّةِ الْعُلْيَا لِلرَّفِّ الأَسْفَلِ ذِرَاعَانِ (نَحْوَ مِتْرٍ)، وَالْعَرْضُ ذِرَاعٌ (نَحْوَ نِصْفِ مِتْرٍ)، وَمِنَ الرَّفِّ الأَسْفَلِ إِلَى الرَّفِّ الأَوْسَطِ أَرْبَعُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ). وَالْعَرْضُ ذِرَاعٌ (نَحْوَ نِصْفِ مِتْرٍ).

15 The upper altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar hearth and upward there shall be four horns.

١٥ أَمَّا ارْتِفَاعُ مَوْقِدِ الْمَذْبَحِ فَأَرْبَعُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ) وَتَمْتَدُّ مِنْ زَوَايَا الْمَوْقِدِ إِلَى فَوْقُ أَرْبَعَةُ قُرُونٍ.

16 The altar hearth shall be twelve cubits long by twelve wide, square in its four sides.

١٦ وَكَانَ الْمَوْقِدُ نَفْسُهُ مُرَبَّعاً طُولُهُ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ سِتَّةِ أَمْتَارٍ)، وَكَذَلِكَ عَرْضُهُ

17 The ledge shall be fourteen cubits long by fourteen wide in its four sides; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and its bottom shall be a cubit around; and its steps shall look toward the east.”

١٧ أَمَّا رَفُّ الْمَوْقِدِ فَكَانَ مُرَبَّعاً أَيْضاً، طُولُهُ أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ سَبْعَةِ أَمْتَارٍ)، وَكَذَلِكَ عَرْضُهُ. وَلَهُ حَافَّةٌ عَرْضُهَا نِصْفُ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ رُبْعِ الْمِتْرِ)، وَقَاعِدَتُهَا ذِرَاعٌ (نَحْوَ نِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)، وَتُوَاجِهُ دَرَجَاتُ الْمَذْبَحِ الشَّرْقَ.

18 He said to me, “Son of man, the Lord GOD says: ‘These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they make it, to offer burnt offerings on it, and to sprinkle blood on it.

١٨ وَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هَذِهِ هِيَ مَرَاسِيمُ الْمَذْبَحِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي يُنْصَبُ فِيهِ لِتَقْرِيبِ الْمُحْرَقَاتِ وَرَشِّ الدَّمِ عَلَيْهِ:

19 You shall give to the Levitical priests who are of the offspring of Zadok, who are near to me, to minister to me,’ says the Lord GOD, ‘a young bull for a sin offering.

١٩ تُقَدِّمُ ثَوْراً لِذَبِيحَةِ خَطِيئَةٍ لِلْكَهَنَةِ اللّاوِيِّينَ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ هَرُونَ الْمُقْتَرِبِينَ إِلَّيَّ لِيَخْدِمُونِي يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

20 You shall take of its blood and put it on its four horns, and on the four corners of the ledge, and on the border all around. You shall cleanse it and make atonement for it that way.

٢٠ وَتَأْخُذُ مِنْ دَمِهِ وَتَضَعُ مِنْهُ عَلَى قُرُونِ الْمَذْبَحِ الأَرْبَعَةِ، وَعَلَى زَوَايَا الرَّفِّ وَعَلَى مُحِيطِ حَافَّتِهِ، فَتُطَهِّرُهُ وَتُكَفِّرُ عَنْهُ.

21 You shall also take the bull of the sin offering, and it shall be burned in the appointed place of the house, outside of the sanctuary.

٢١ وَتأْخُذُ ثَوْرَ الْخَطِيئَةِ إِلَى حَيْثُ يُحْرَقُ فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الْمُعَيَّنِ مِنَ الْهَيْكَلِ خَارِجَ الْمَقْدِسِ.

22 “On the second day you shall offer a male goat without defect for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bull.

٢٢ وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّانِي تُقَرِّبُ تَيْساً مِنَ الْمَعْزِ سَلِيماً ذَبِيحَةَ خَطِيئَةٍ، فَيَتِمُّ تَطْهِيرُ الْمَذْبَحِ كَمَا طَهَّرُوهُ بِدَمِ الثَّوْرِ.

23 When you have finished cleansing it, you shall offer a young bull without defect and a ram out of the flock without defect.

٢٣ وَعِنْدَمَا يَكْتَمِلُ مَرْسُومُ التَّطْهِيرِ تُقَرِّبُ ثَوْراً وَكَبْشاً سَلِيمَيْنِ.

24 You shall bring them near to the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt on them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering to the LORD.

٢٤ تُقَرِّبُهُمَا فِي مَحْضَرِ الرَّبِّ، وَيَرُشُّ عَلَيْهِمَا الْكَهَنَةُ مِلْحاً، وَيُصْعِدُونَهُمَا مُحْرَقَةً لِلرَّبِّ.

25 “Seven days you shall prepare every day a goat for a sin offering. They shall also prepare a young bull and a ram out of the flock, without defect.

٢٥ وَتُقَرِّبُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ وَلِمُدَّةِ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ تَيْسَ خَطِيئَةٍ وَثَوْراً وَكَبْشاً سَلِيمَيْنِ.

26 Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify it. So shall they consecrate it.

٢٦ فَتُكَفِّرُونَ عَنِ الْمَذْبَحِ وَتُطَهِّرُونَهُ وَتُكَرِّسُونَهُ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ.

27 When they have accomplished the days, it shall be that on the eighth day and onward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings on the altar and your peace offerings. Then I will accept you,’ says the Lord GOD.”

٢٧ وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّامِنِ وَمَا يَلِيهِ مِنْ أَيَّامٍ بَعْدَ إِتْمَامِ أُسْبُوعِ التَّطْهِيرِ، يُقَرِّبُ الْكَهَنَةُ عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ مُحْرَقَاتِكُمْ وَذَبَائِحَ سَلامِكُمْ، فَأَرْضَى عَنْكُمْ يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ».
