< Ezekiel 42 >
1 Then the man led me out northward into the outer court, and he brought me to the group of chambers opposite the temple courtyard and the outer wall on the north side.
καὶ ἐξήγαγέν με εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἐξωτέραν κατὰ ἀνατολὰς κατέναντι τῆς πύλης τῆς πρὸς βορρᾶν καὶ εἰσήγαγέν με καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐξέδραι πέντε ἐχόμεναι τοῦ ἀπολοίπου καὶ ἐχόμεναι τοῦ διορίζοντος πρὸς βορρᾶν
2 The building with the door facing north was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide.
ἐπὶ πήχεις ἑκατὸν μῆκος πρὸς βορρᾶν καὶ τὸ πλάτος πεντήκοντα πήχεων
3 Gallery faced gallery in three levels opposite the twenty cubits that belonged to the inner court and opposite the pavement that belonged to the outer court.
διαγεγραμμέναι ὃν τρόπον αἱ πύλαι τῆς αὐλῆς τῆς ἐσωτέρας καὶ ὃν τρόπον τὰ περίστυλα τῆς αὐλῆς τῆς ἐξωτέρας ἐστιχισμέναι ἀντιπρόσωποι στοαὶ τρισσαί
4 In front of the chambers was an inner walkway ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long. Their doors were on the north.
καὶ κατέναντι τῶν ἐξεδρῶν περίπατος πηχῶν δέκα τὸ πλάτος ἐπὶ πήχεις ἑκατὸν τὸ μῆκος καὶ τὰ θυρώματα αὐτῶν πρὸς βορρᾶν
5 Now the upper chambers were smaller because the galleries took more space from the chambers on the lower and middle floors of the building.
καὶ οἱ περίπατοι οἱ ὑπερῷοι ὡσαύτως ὅτι ἐξείχετο τὸ περίστυλον ἐξ αὐτοῦ ἐκ τοῦ ὑποκάτωθεν περιστύλου καὶ τὸ διάστημα οὕτως περίστυλον καὶ διάστημα καὶ οὕτως στοαί
6 For they were arranged in three stories, and unlike the courts, they had no pillars. So the upper chambers were set back further than the lower and middle floors.
διότι τριπλαῖ ἦσαν καὶ στύλους οὐκ εἶχον καθὼς οἱ στῦλοι τῶν ἐξωτέρων διὰ τοῦτο ἐξείχοντο τῶν ὑποκάτωθεν καὶ τῶν μέσων ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς
7 An outer wall in front of the chambers was fifty cubits long and ran parallel to the chambers and the outer court.
καὶ φῶς ἔξωθεν ὃν τρόπον αἱ ἐξέδραι τῆς αὐλῆς τῆς ἐξωτέρας αἱ βλέπουσαι ἀπέναντι τῶν ἐξεδρῶν τῶν πρὸς βορρᾶν μῆκος πήχεων πεντήκοντα
8 For the chambers on the outer court were fifty cubits long, while those facing the temple were a hundred cubits long.
ὅτι τὸ μῆκος τῶν ἐξεδρῶν τῶν βλεπουσῶν εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἐξωτέραν πηχῶν πεντήκοντα καὶ αὗταί εἰσιν ἀντιπρόσωποι ταύταις τὸ πᾶν πηχῶν ἑκατόν
9 And below these chambers was the entrance on the east side as one enters them from the outer court.
καὶ αἱ θύραι τῶν ἐξεδρῶν τούτων τῆς εἰσόδου τῆς πρὸς ἀνατολὰς τοῦ εἰσπορεύεσθαι δῑ αὐτῶν ἐκ τῆς αὐλῆς τῆς ἐξωτέρας
10 On the south side along the length of the wall of the outer court were chambers adjoining the courtyard and opposite the building,
κατὰ τὸ φῶς τοῦ ἐν ἀρχῇ περιπάτου καὶ τὰ πρὸς νότον κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ νότου κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ ἀπολοίπου καὶ κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ διορίζοντος ἐξέδραι
11 with a passageway in front of them, just like the chambers that were on the north. They had the same length and width, with similar exits and dimensions.
καὶ ὁ περίπατος κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν κατὰ τὰ μέτρα τῶν ἐξεδρῶν τῶν πρὸς βορρᾶν καὶ κατὰ τὸ μῆκος αὐτῶν καὶ κατὰ τὸ εὖρος αὐτῶν καὶ κατὰ πάσας τὰς ἐξόδους αὐτῶν καὶ κατὰ πάσας τὰς ἐπιστροφὰς αὐτῶν καὶ κατὰ τὰ φῶτα αὐτῶν καὶ κατὰ τὰ θυρώματα αὐτῶν
12 And corresponding to the doors of the chambers that were facing south, there was a door in front of the walkway that was parallel to the wall extending eastward.
τῶν ἐξεδρῶν τῶν πρὸς νότον καὶ κατὰ τὰ θυρώματα ἀπ’ ἀρχῆς τοῦ περιπάτου ὡς ἐπὶ φῶς διαστήματος καλάμου καὶ κατ’ ἀνατολὰς τοῦ εἰσπορεύεσθαι δῑ αὐτῶν
13 Then the man said to me, “The north and south chambers facing the temple courtyard are the holy chambers where the priests who approach the LORD will eat the most holy offerings. There they will place the most holy offerings—the grain offerings, the sin offerings, and the guilt offerings—for the place is holy.
καὶ εἶπεν πρός με αἱ ἐξέδραι αἱ πρὸς βορρᾶν καὶ αἱ ἐξέδραι αἱ πρὸς νότον αἱ οὖσαι κατὰ πρόσωπον τῶν διαστημάτων αὗταί εἰσιν αἱ ἐξέδραι τοῦ ἁγίου ἐν αἷς φάγονται ἐκεῖ οἱ ἱερεῖς υἱοὶ Σαδδουκ οἱ ἐγγίζοντες πρὸς κύριον τὰ ἅγια τῶν ἁγίων καὶ ἐκεῖ θήσουσιν τὰ ἅγια τῶν ἁγίων καὶ τὴν θυσίαν καὶ τὰ περὶ ἁμαρτίας καὶ τὰ περὶ ἀγνοίας διότι ὁ τόπος ἅγιος
14 Once the priests have entered the holy area, they must not go out into the outer court until they have left behind the garments in which they minister, for these are holy. They are to put on other clothes before they approach the places that are for the people.”
οὐκ εἰσελεύσονται ἐκεῖ πάρεξ τῶν ἱερέων οὐκ ἐξελεύσονται ἐκ τοῦ ἁγίου εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἐξωτέραν ὅπως διὰ παντὸς ἅγιοι ὦσιν οἱ προσάγοντες καὶ μὴ ἅπτωνται τοῦ στολισμοῦ αὐτῶν ἐν οἷς λειτουργοῦσιν ἐν αὐτοῖς διότι ἅγιά ἐστιν καὶ ἐνδύσονται ἱμάτια ἕτερα ὅταν ἅπτωνται τοῦ λαοῦ
15 Now when the man had finished measuring the interior of the temple area, he led me out by the gate that faced east, and he measured the area all around:
καὶ συνετελέσθη ἡ διαμέτρησις τοῦ οἴκου ἔσωθεν καὶ ἐξήγαγέν με καθ’ ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης τῆς βλεπούσης πρὸς ἀνατολὰς καὶ διεμέτρησεν τὸ ὑπόδειγμα τοῦ οἴκου κυκλόθεν ἐν διατάξει
16 With a measuring rod he measured the east side to be five hundred cubits long.
καὶ ἔστη κατὰ νώτου τῆς πύλης τῆς βλεπούσης κατὰ ἀνατολὰς καὶ διεμέτρησεν πεντακοσίους ἐν τῷ καλάμῳ τοῦ μέτρου
17 He measured the north side to be five hundred cubits long.
καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν πρὸς βορρᾶν καὶ διεμέτρησεν τὸ κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ βορρᾶ πήχεις πεντακοσίους ἐν τῷ καλάμῳ τοῦ μέτρου
18 He measured the south side to be five hundred cubits long.
καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν πρὸς θάλασσαν καὶ διεμέτρησεν τὸ κατὰ πρόσωπον τῆς θαλάσσης πεντακοσίους ἐν τῷ καλάμῳ τοῦ μέτρου
19 And he came around and measured the west side to be five hundred cubits long.
καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν πρὸς νότον καὶ διεμέτρησεν κατέναντι τοῦ νότου πεντακοσίους ἐν τῷ καλάμῳ τοῦ μέτρου
20 So he measured the area on all four sides. It had a wall all around, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits wide, to separate the holy from the common.
τὰ τέσσαρα μέρη τοῦ αὐτοῦ καλάμου καὶ διέταξεν αὐτὸν καὶ περίβολον αὐτῶν κύκλῳ πεντακοσίων πρὸς ἀνατολὰς καὶ πεντακοσίων πηχῶν εὖρος τοῦ διαστέλλειν ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ἁγίων καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ προτειχίσματος τοῦ ἐν διατάξει τοῦ οἴκου
