< Ezekiel 43 >
1 Then the man brought me back to the gate that faces east,
καὶ ἤγαγέν με ἐπὶ τὴν πύλην τὴν βλέπουσαν κατὰ ἀνατολὰς καὶ ἐξήγαγέν με
2 and I saw the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east. His voice was like the roar of many waters, and the earth shone with His glory.
καὶ ἰδοὺ δόξα θεοῦ Ισραηλ ἤρχετο κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης τῆς βλεπούσης πρὸς ἀνατολάς καὶ φωνὴ τῆς παρεμβολῆς ὡς φωνὴ διπλασιαζόντων πολλῶν καὶ ἡ γῆ ἐξέλαμπεν ὡς φέγγος ἀπὸ τῆς δόξης κυκλόθεν
3 The vision I saw was like the vision I had seen when He came to destroy the city and like the visions I had seen by the River Kebar. I fell facedown,
καὶ ἡ ὅρασις ἣν εἶδον κατὰ τὴν ὅρασιν ἣν εἶδον ὅτε εἰσεπορευόμην τοῦ χρῖσαι τὴν πόλιν καὶ ἡ ὅρασις τοῦ ἅρματος οὗ εἶδον κατὰ τὴν ὅρασιν ἣν εἶδον ἐπὶ τοῦ ποταμοῦ τοῦ Χοβαρ καὶ πίπτω ἐπὶ πρόσωπόν μου
4 and the glory of the LORD entered the temple through the gate facing east.
καὶ δόξα κυρίου εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης τῆς βλεπούσης κατὰ ἀνατολάς
5 Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple.
καὶ ἀνέλαβέν με πνεῦμα καὶ εἰσήγαγέν με εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἐσωτέραν καὶ ἰδοὺ πλήρης δόξης κυρίου ὁ οἶκος
6 While the man was standing beside me, I heard someone speaking to me from inside the temple,
καὶ ἔστην καὶ ἰδοὺ φωνὴ ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου λαλοῦντος πρός με καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ εἱστήκει ἐχόμενός μου
7 and He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place for the soles of My feet, where I will dwell among the Israelites forever. The house of Israel will never again defile My holy name—neither they nor their kings—by their prostitution and by the funeral offerings for their kings at their deaths.
καὶ εἶπεν πρός με ἑώρακας υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου τὸν τόπον τοῦ θρόνου μου καὶ τὸν τόπον τοῦ ἴχνους τῶν ποδῶν μου ἐν οἷς κατασκηνώσει τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐν μέσῳ οἴκου Ισραηλ τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ οὐ βεβηλώσουσιν οὐκέτι οἶκος Ισραηλ τὸ ὄνομα τὸ ἅγιόν μου αὐτοὶ καὶ οἱ ἡγούμενοι αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ πορνείᾳ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐν τοῖς φόνοις τῶν ἡγουμένων ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν
8 When they placed their threshold next to My threshold and their doorposts beside My doorposts, with only a wall between Me and them, they defiled My holy name by the abominations they committed. Therefore I have consumed them in My anger.
ἐν τῷ τιθέναι αὐτοὺς τὸ πρόθυρόν μου ἐν τοῖς προθύροις αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς φλιάς μου ἐχομένας τῶν φλιῶν αὐτῶν καὶ ἔδωκαν τὸν τοῖχόν μου ὡς συνεχόμενον ἐμοῦ καὶ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐβεβήλωσαν τὸ ὄνομα τὸ ἅγιόν μου ἐν ταῖς ἀνομίαις αὐτῶν αἷς ἐποίουν καὶ ἐξέτριψα αὐτοὺς ἐν θυμῷ μου καὶ ἐν φόνῳ
9 Now let them remove far from Me their prostitution and the funeral offerings for their kings, and I will dwell among them forever.
καὶ νῦν ἀπωσάσθωσαν τὴν πορνείαν αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς φόνους τῶν ἡγουμένων αὐτῶν ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ καὶ κατασκηνώσω ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν τὸν αἰῶνα
10 As for you, son of man, describe the temple to the people of Israel, so that they may be ashamed of their iniquities. Let them measure the plan,
καὶ σύ υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου δεῖξον τῷ οἴκῳ Ισραηλ τὸν οἶκον καὶ κοπάσουσιν ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν καὶ τὴν ὅρασιν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν διάταξιν αὐτοῦ
11 and if they are ashamed of all they have done, then make known to them the design of the temple—its arrangement and its exits and entrances—its whole design along with all its statutes, forms, and laws. Write it down in their sight, so that they may keep its complete design and all its statutes and may carry them out.
καὶ αὐτοὶ λήμψονται τὴν κόλασιν αὐτῶν περὶ πάντων ὧν ἐποίησαν καὶ διαγράψεις τὸν οἶκον καὶ τὰς ἐξόδους αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν ὑπόστασιν αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντα τὰ προστάγματα αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντα τὰ νόμιμα αὐτοῦ γνωριεῖς αὐτοῖς καὶ διαγράψεις ἐναντίον αὐτῶν καὶ φυλάξονται πάντα τὰ δικαιώματά μου καὶ πάντα τὰ προστάγματά μου καὶ ποιήσουσιν αὐτά
12 This is the law of the temple: All its surrounding territory on top of the mountain will be most holy. Yes, this is the law of the temple.
καὶ τὴν διαγραφὴν τοῦ οἴκου ἐπὶ τῆς κορυφῆς τοῦ ὄρους πάντα τὰ ὅρια αὐτοῦ κυκλόθεν ἅγια ἁγίων
13 These are the measurements of the altar in long cubits (a cubit and a handbreadth): Its gutter shall be a cubit deep and a cubit wide, with a rim of one span around its edge. And this is the height of the altar:
καὶ ταῦτα τὰ μέτρα τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου ἐν πήχει τοῦ πήχεος καὶ παλαιστῆς κόλπωμα βάθος ἐπὶ πῆχυν καὶ πῆχυς τὸ εὖρος καὶ γεῖσος ἐπὶ τὸ χεῖλος αὐτοῦ κυκλόθεν σπιθαμῆς καὶ τοῦτο τὸ ὕψος τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου
14 The space from the gutter on the ground to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the ledge one cubit wide. The space from the smaller ledge to the larger ledge shall be four cubits, and the ledge one cubit wide.
ἐκ βάθους τῆς ἀρχῆς τοῦ κοιλώματος αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὸ ἱλαστήριον τὸ μέγα τὸ ὑποκάτωθεν πηχῶν δύο καὶ τὸ εὖρος πήχεος καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἱλαστηρίου τοῦ μικροῦ ἐπὶ τὸ ἱλαστήριον τὸ μέγα πήχεις τέσσαρες καὶ εὖρος πῆχυς
15 The altar hearth shall be four cubits high, and four horns shall project upward from the hearth.
καὶ τὸ αριηλ πηχῶν τεσσάρων καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ αριηλ καὶ ὑπεράνω τῶν κεράτων πῆχυς
16 The altar hearth shall be square at its four corners, twelve cubits long and twelve cubits wide.
καὶ τὸ αριηλ πηχῶν δώδεκα μήκους ἐπὶ πήχεις δώδεκα πλάτους τετράγωνον ἐπὶ τὰ τέσσαρα μέρη αὐτοῦ
17 The ledge shall also be square, fourteen cubits long and fourteen cubits wide, with a rim of half a cubit and a gutter of a cubit all around it. The steps of the altar shall face east.”
καὶ τὸ ἱλαστῆριον πηχῶν δέκα τεσσάρων τὸ μῆκος ἐπὶ πήχεις δέκα τέσσαρας τὸ εὖρος ἐπὶ τέσσαρα μέρη αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ γεῖσος αὐτῷ κυκλόθεν κυκλούμενον αὐτῷ ἥμισυ πήχεος καὶ τὸ κύκλωμα αὐτοῦ πῆχυς κυκλόθεν καὶ οἱ κλιμακτῆρες αὐτοῦ βλέποντες κατ’ ἀνατολάς
18 Then He said to me: “Son of man, this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘These are the statutes for the altar on the day it is constructed, so that burnt offerings may be sacrificed on it and blood may be sprinkled on it:
καὶ εἶπεν πρός με υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου τάδε λέγει κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ ταῦτα τὰ προστάγματα τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ποιήσεως αὐτοῦ τοῦ ἀναφέρειν ἐπ’ αὐτοῦ ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ προσχέειν πρὸς αὐτὸ αἷμα
19 You are to give a young bull from the herd as a sin offering to the Levitical priests who are of the family of Zadok, who approach Me to minister before Me, declares the Lord GOD.
καὶ δώσεις τοῖς ἱερεῦσι τοῖς Λευίταις τοῖς ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματος Σαδδουκ τοῖς ἐγγίζουσι πρός με λέγει κύριος ὁ θεός τοῦ λειτουργεῖν μοι μόσχον ἐκ βοῶν περὶ ἁμαρτίας
20 You are to take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar, on the four corners of the ledge, and all around the rim; thus you will cleanse the altar and make atonement for it.
καὶ λήμψονται ἐκ τοῦ αἵματος αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπιθήσουσιν ἐπὶ τὰ τέσσαρα κέρατα τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς τέσσαρας γωνίας τοῦ ἱλαστηρίου καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν βάσιν κύκλῳ καὶ ἐξιλάσονται αὐτό
21 Then you are to take away the bull for the sin offering and burn it in the appointed part of the temple area outside the sanctuary.
καὶ λήμψονται τὸν μόσχον τὸν περὶ ἁμαρτίας καὶ κατακαυθήσεται ἐν τῷ ἀποκεχωρισμένῳ τοῦ οἴκου ἔξωθεν τῶν ἁγίων
22 On the second day you are to present an unblemished male goat as a sin offering, and the altar is to be cleansed as it was with the bull.
καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ δευτέρᾳ λήμψονται ἐρίφους δύο αἰγῶν ἀμώμους ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτίας καὶ ἐξιλάσονται τὸ θυσιαστήριον καθότι ἐξιλάσαντο ἐν τῷ μόσχῳ
23 When you have finished the purification, you are to present a young, unblemished bull and an unblemished ram from the flock.
καὶ μετὰ τὸ συντελέσαι σε τὸν ἐξιλασμὸν προσοίσουσι μόσχον ἐκ βοῶν ἄμωμον καὶ κριὸν ἐκ προβάτων ἄμωμον
24 You must present them before the LORD; the priests are to sprinkle salt on them and sacrifice them as a burnt offering to the LORD.
καὶ προσοίσετε ἐναντίον κυρίου καὶ ἐπιρρίψουσιν οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐπ’ αὐτὰ ἅλα καὶ ἀνοίσουσιν αὐτὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα τῷ κυρίῳ
25 For seven days you are to provide a male goat daily for a sin offering; you are also to provide a young bull and a ram from the flock, both unblemished.
ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ποιήσεις ἔριφον ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτίας καθ’ ἡμέραν καὶ μόσχον ἐκ βοῶν καὶ κριὸν ἐκ προβάτων ἄμωμα ποιήσουσιν
26 For seven days the priests are to make atonement for the altar and cleanse it; so they shall consecrate it.
ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας καὶ ἐξιλάσονται τὸ θυσιαστήριον καὶ καθαριοῦσιν αὐτὸ καὶ πλήσουσιν χεῖρας αὐτῶν
27 At the end of these days, from the eighth day on, the priests are to present your burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar. Then I will accept you, declares the Lord GOD.’”
καὶ ἔσται ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας τῆς ὀγδόης καὶ ἐπέκεινα ποιήσουσιν οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα ὑμῶν καὶ τὰ τοῦ σωτηρίου ὑμῶν καὶ προσδέξομαι ὑμᾶς λέγει κύριος
