Ezekiel 40

1 In the twenty-fifth year of our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month—in the fourteenth year after Jerusalem had been struck down—on that very day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and He took me there.

Waktu itu tanggal sepuluh bulan satu, dalam tahun kedua puluh lima masa pembuangan kami, empat belas tahun sesudah Yerusalem dikalahkan, aku merasakan kuasa TUHAN, lalu aku dibawa-Nya pergi.

2 In visions of God He took me to the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain, on whose southern slope was a structure that resembled a city.

Dalam sebuah penglihatan, Allah membawa aku ke tanah Israel dan menempatkan aku di gunung yang tinggi. Di hadapanku kulihat sekelompok bangunan yang menyerupai sebuah kota.

3 So He took me there, and I saw a man whose appearance was like bronze. He was standing in the gateway with a linen cord and a measuring rod in his hand.

Aku dibawanya ke situ dan kulihat seorang laki-laki yang berkilauan seperti perunggu berdiri di dekat pintu gerbang. Ia memegang tali pengukur dari linen serta kayu pengukur.

4 “Son of man,” he said to me, “look with your eyes, hear with your ears, and pay attention to everything I am going to show you, for that is why you have been brought here. Report to the house of Israel everything you see.”

Laki-laki itu berkata kepadaku, "Hai manusia fana, dengarlah baik-baik dan perhatikanlah segala sesuatu yang kuperlihatkan kepadamu, sebab untuk itulah engkau dibawa ke mari. Beritahukanlah kepada bangsa Israel semua yang akan kaulihat."

5 And I saw a wall surrounding the temple area. Now the length of the measuring rod in the man’s hand was six long cubits (each measuring a cubit and a handbreadth), and he measured the wall to be one rod thick and one rod high.

Lalu aku melihat Rumah TUHAN yang dikelilingi tembok. Laki-laki itu mulai mengukur tembok itu dengan kayu pengukurnya yang panjangnya tiga meter. Ternyata tembok itu tingginya tiga meter dan tebalnya juga tiga meter.

6 Then he came to the gate facing east and climbed its steps. He measured the threshold of the gate to be one rod deep.

Kemudian ia pergi ke gerbang yang menghadap ke timur. Ia mendaki tangganya dan sesampainya di atas, ia mengukur ambang pintu itu, lebarnya tiga meter.

7 Each gate chamber was one rod long and one rod wide, and there were five cubits between the gate chambers. The inner threshold of the gate by the portico facing inward was one rod deep.

Di belakang gerbang itu ada sebuah lorong dan pada masing-masing sisinya terdapat tiga kamar jaga. Semua kamar itu sama besarnya; bentuknya segi empat, dan panjang setiap sisinya adalah tiga meter. Tembok-tembok pemisah setiap kamar sama tebalnya, yaitu dua setengah meter. Lorong itu memanjang tiga meter lagi dan menuju ke ruang besar yang menghadap ke Rumah TUHAN. Laki-laki itu mengukur ruang besar itu dan ternyata lebarnya empat meter; letaknya di ujung pintu gerbang, sebelah dalam, yaitu yang paling dekat dengan Rumah TUHAN. Tembok-tembok di bagian yang menghadap Rumah TUHAN, tebalnya satu meter.

8 Then he measured the portico of the gateway inside;

9 it was eight cubits deep, and its jambs were two cubits thick. And the portico of the gateway faced the temple.

10 There were three gate chambers on each side of the east gate, each with the same measurements, and the gateposts on either side also had the same measurements.

11 And he measured the width of the gateway entrance to be ten cubits, and its length was thirteen cubits.

Kemudian laki-laki itu mengukur lebar lorong di pintu gerbang; enam setengah meter, dan juga lebar pintu gerbang itu lima meter.

12 In front of each gate chamber was a wall one cubit high, and the gate chambers were six cubits square.

Di depan kamar-kamar jaga yang berukuran tiga kali tiga meter itu, ada tembok rendah yang tingginya setengah meter, dan tebalnya setengah meter juga.

13 Then he measured the gateway from the roof of one gate chamber to the roof of the opposite one; the distance was twenty-five cubits from doorway to doorway.

Lalu laki-laki itu mengukur jarak dari tembok belakang sebuah kamar jaga sampai ke tembok belakang kamar jaga di seberangnya, yaitu 12,5 meter.

14 Next he measured the gateposts to be sixty cubits high. The gateway extended around to the gatepost of the courtyard.

Ia juga mengukur ruang besar itu: panjangnya sepuluh meter. Pintu ruang itu menuju ke pelataran luar Rumah TUHAN.

15 And the distance from the entrance of the gateway to the far end of its inner portico was fifty cubits.

Jarak dari pintu gerbang sebelah luar sampai ke tembok ruang besar di bagian yang menghadap ke Rumah TUHAN adalah 25 meter.

16 The gate chambers and their side pillars had beveled windows all around the inside of the gateway. The porticos also had windows all around on the inside. Each side pillar was decorated with palm trees.

Pada tembok belakang dan tembok pemisah kamar-kamar itu ada jendela-jendela kecil. Tembok-tembok bagian dalam yang menghadap ke lorong, dihias dengan ukir-ukiran pohon palem.

17 Then he brought me into the outer court, and there were chambers and a pavement laid out all around the court. Thirty chambers faced the pavement,

Kemudian laki-laki itu membawa aku melalui pintu gerbang ke pelataran luar Rumah TUHAN. Pada sisi tembok luar di sekeliling Rumah TUHAN itu dibangun 30 kamar. Di depan kamar-kamar itu ada lantai batu

18 which flanked the gateways and corresponded to the length of the gates; this was the lower pavement.

yang mengelilingi seluruh pelataran itu. Pelataran luar itu lebih rendah daripada pelataran dalam.

19 Then he measured the distance from the front of the lower gateway to the outside of the inner court; it was a hundred cubits on the east side as well as on the north.

Di situ ada pintu gerbang lain yang letaknya lebih tinggi dan yang menuju ke pelataran dalam. Laki-laki itu mengukur jarak antara kedua pintu gerbang itu: 50 meter.

20 He also measured the length and width of the gateway of the outer court facing north.

Kemudian laki-laki itu mengukur gerbang utara yang menuju ke pelataran dalam.

21 Its three gate chambers on each side, its side pillars, and its portico all had the same measurements as the first gate: fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

Di gerbang itu, ketiga kamar jaga pada masing-masing sisi lorongnya, tembok-tembok pemisahnya serta ruang besarnya, semuanya sama ukurannya dengan yang ada di gerbang sebelah timur. Seluruh lorong gerbang itu panjangnya 25 meter dan lebarnya 12,5 meter.

22 Its windows, portico, and palm trees had the same measurements as those of the gate facing east. Seven steps led up to it, with its portico opposite them.

Juga ruang besarnya, jendela-jendelanya, dan ukir-ukiran pohon palemnya sama dengan yang ada di gerbang timur. Tujuh anak tangga menuju ke gerbang itu, dan di ujungnya ada ruang besar yang menghadap ke pelataran luar Rumah TUHAN.

23 There was a gate to the inner court facing the north gate, just as there was on the east. He measured the distance from gateway to gateway to be a hundred cubits.

Berhadapan dengan gerbang utara, ada gerbang lain yang menuju ke pelataran dalam, sama seperti yang ada di sebelah gerbang timur. Orang itu mengukur jarak antara kedua gerbang itu: 50 meter.

24 Then he led me to the south side, and I saw a gateway facing south. He measured its side pillars and portico, and they had the same measurements as the others.

Selanjutnya, laki-laki itu membawa aku ke gerbang selatan dan mengukurnya. Ternyata gerbang itu sama dengan gerbang-gerbang yang lain.

25 Both the gateway and its portico had windows all around, like the other windows. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

Jendela-jendela di kamar-kamarnya sama dengan yang ada di gerbang-gerbang yang lain. Panjang lorong gerbang itu 25 meter, dan lebarnya 12,5 meter.

26 Seven steps led up to it, and its portico was opposite them; it had palm trees on its side pillars, one on each side.

Tujuh anak tangga menuju ke gerbang itu dan ruang besarnya juga ada di ujung, menghadap ke pelataran luar Rumah TUHAN. Tembok-tembok bagian dalam yang menghadap ke lorong, dihias dengan ukir-ukiran pohon palem.

27 The inner court also had a gate facing south, and he measured the distance from gateway to gateway toward the south to be a hundred cubits.

Di situ ada juga gerbang yang menuju ke pelataran dalam. Laki-laki itu mengukur jarak antara kedua gerbang itu: 50 meter.

28 Next he brought me into the inner court through the south gate, and he measured the south gate; it had the same measurements as the others.

Selanjutnya laki-laki itu membawa aku melalui gerbang selatan masuk ke pelataran dalam. Ia mengukur gerbang selatan itu, dan ukurannya sama dengan gerbang-gerbang di sebelah luar.

29 Its gate chambers, side pillars, and portico had the same measurements as the others. Both the gateway and its portico had windows all around; it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

Kamar-kamar jaganya, ruang besarnya, dan tembok-tembok dalamnya sama dengan yang ada di gerbang-gerbang lain. Kamar-kamar di gerbang ini pun mempunyai jendela-jendela. Lorong gerbang itu panjangnya 25 meter dan lebar 12,5 meter.

30 (The porticoes around the inner court were twenty-five cubits long and five cubits deep.)

31 Its portico faced the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees. Eight steps led up to it.

Tetapi ruang besarnya menghadap ke pelataran luar. Tembok-tembok bagian dalam yang menghadap ke lorong, juga dihias dengan ukir-ukiran pohon palem. Delapan anak tangga itu menuju ke gerbang itu.

32 And he brought me to the inner court on the east side, and he measured the gateway; it had the same measurements as the others.

Setelah itu laki-laki itu membawa aku melalui gerbang timur masuk ke halaman dalam. Ia mengukur gerbang itu dan ukurannya sama dengan gerbang-gerbang yang lain.

33 Its gate chambers, side pillars, and portico had the same measurements as the others. Both the gateway and its portico had windows all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

Kamar-kamar jaganya, tembok-tembok dalamnya dan ruang besarnya ukurannya seperti yang ada di gerbang-gerbang yang lain. Di kamar-kamar itu dan di ruang besarnya ada jendela-jendela. Panjang lorong gerbang itu 25 meter dan lebarnya 12,5 meter.

34 Its portico faced the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees on each side. Eight steps led up to it.

Ruang besarnya menghadap ke pelataran luar. Tembok-tembok bagian dalam yang menghadap ke lorong, dihias dengan ukir-ukiran pohon palem. Delapan anak tangga menuju ke gerbang itu.

35 Then he brought me to the north gate and measured it. It had the same measurements as the others,

Akhirnya laki-laki itu membawa aku ke gerbang utara. Ia mengukur gerbang itu dan ukurannya sama dengan gerbang-gerbang yang lain.

36 as did its gate chambers, side pillars, and portico. It also had windows all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

Juga kamar-kamar jaganya, tembok-tembok dalamnya dan ruang besarnya sama dengan yang ada di gerbang-gerbang yang lain. Di kamar-kamarnya dan di ruang besarnya ada jendela-jendela. Panjang lorong gerbang itu 25 meter dan lebarnya 12,5 meter.

37 Its portico faced the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees on each side. Eight steps led up to it.

Ruang depannya juga menghadap ke pelataran luar. Tembok-tembok bagian dalam yang menghadap ke lorong, dihias dengan ukir-ukiran pohon palem. Delapan anak tangga menuju ke gerbang itu.

38 There was a chamber with a doorway by the portico in each of the inner gateways. There the burnt offering was to be washed.

Di pelataran luar ada sebuah kamar tambahan di gerbang dalam sebelah utara. Dari kamar tambahan itu ada sebuah pintu yang menuju ke ruang besar. Di situlah dibasuh binatang-binatang untuk kurban bakaran.

39 Inside the portico of the gateway were two tables on each side, on which the burnt offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings were to be slaughtered.

Di ruang besar itu, ada empat buah meja, dua di setiap sisinya. Di atas meja-meja itulah dipotong binatang untuk kurban bakaran, atau kurban penghapus dosa atau kurban ganti rugi.

40 Outside, as one goes up to the entrance of the north gateway, there were two tables on one side and two more tables on the other side of the gate’s portico.

Di luar ruang besar itu ada lagi empat meja, dua di setiap sisi gerbang utara itu.

41 So there were four tables inside the gateway and four outside—eight tables in all—on which the sacrifices were to be slaughtered.

Jadi, semuanya ada delapan buah meja tempat memotong kurban: empat di dalam, dan empat di luar pelataran.

42 There were also four tables of dressed stone for the burnt offering, each a cubit and a half long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit high. On these were placed the utensils used to slaughter the burnt offerings and the other sacrifices.

Keempat buah meja di kamar tambahan yang dipakai untuk mempersiapkan kurban bakaran dipahat dari batu. Meja itu tingginya setengah meter, sedang bagian atasnya persegi empat, panjang dan lebarnya masing-masing tiga perempat meter. Di atas meja-meja itu disimpan perkakas untuk memotong binatang kurban.

43 The double-pronged hooks, each a handbreadth long, were fastened all around the inside of the room, and the flesh of the offering was to be placed on the tables.

Tepi meja-meja itu mempunyai pinggiran selebar 75 milimeter. Semua daging yang akan dikurbankan diletakkan di atas meja-meja itu.

44 Outside the inner gate, within the inner court, were two chambers, one beside the north gate and facing south, and another beside the south gate and facing north.

Kemudian laki-laki itu membawa aku ke pelataran dalam. Di situ ada dua bangsal, yang satu di samping gerbang utara dan menghadap ke selatan, sedang yang satu lagi di samping gerbang selatan dan menghadap ke utara.

45 Then the man said to me: “The chamber that faces south is for the priests who keep charge of the temple,

Laki-laki itu mengatakan kepadaku bahwa bangsal yang menghadap ke selatan itu disediakan untuk para imam yang bertugas di Rumah TUHAN,

46 and the chamber that faces north is for the priests who keep charge of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, the only Levites who may approach the LORD to minister before Him.”

sedang bangsal yang menghadap ke utara disediakan untuk para imam yang bertugas pada mezbah. Semua imam itu harus dari keturunan Zadok. Sebab dari suku Lewi hanya keturunan Zadok yang boleh menghadap TUHAN untuk melayani Dia dalam ibadat.

47 Next he measured the court. It was square, a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide. And the altar was in front of the temple.

Laki-laki itu mengukur pelataran dalam. Bentuknya persegi empat: panjang dan lebarnya masing-masing 50 meter. Rumah TUHAN itu ada di sebelah barat, dan di depannya ada sebuah mezbah.

48 Then he brought me to the portico of the temple and measured the side pillars of the portico to be five cubits on each side. The width of the gateway was fourteen cubits and its sidewalls were three cubits on either side.

Kemudian ia membawa aku ke ruang depan Rumah TUHAN dengan mendaki beberapa anak tangga. Ia mengukur ruang masuk; luasnya tujuh kali dua setengah meter, dengan dinding-dinding pada kedua pinggirnya setebal satu setengah meter. Di kiri kanannya ada sebuah pilar. Ruang depan itu sendiri panjangnya sepuluh meter dan lebarnya enam meter.

49 The portico was twenty cubits wide and twelve cubits deep, and ten steps led up to it. There were columns by the side pillars, one on each side.
