Jezekiel 42

1 And he brought me into the inner court eastward, opposite the northern gate: and he brought me in, and behold five chambers near the vacant space, and near the northern partition,

١ ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَنِي إِلَى السَّاحَةِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ مِنَ الطَّرِيقِ الْمُتَّجِهَةِ شِمَالاً، وَأَدْخَلَنِي إِلَى الْمَخَادِعِ الْمُوَاجِهَةِ لِلسَّاحَةِ الْمُنْفَصِلَةِ مُقَابِلَ الْبِنَاءِ الشِّمَالِيِّ.

2 a hundred cubits in length toward the north, and in breadth fifty,

٢ وَكَانَ طُولُ الْبِنَاءِ ذِي الْبَابِ الْمُشْرَعِ شِمَالاً مِئَةَ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسِينَ مِتْراً) وَعَرْضُهُ خَمْسِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِتْراً).

3 ornamented accordingly as the gates of the inner court, and arranged accordingly as the peristyles of the outer court, [with] triple porticos fronting one another.

٣ وَمُقَابِلَ السَّاحَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ الَّتِي طُولُهَا عِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ عَشَرَةِ أَمْتَارٍ) وَمُقَابِلَ رَصِيفِ السَّاحَةِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ أَرْوِقَةٌ مُتَقَابِلَةٌ قَائِمَةٌ فِي ثَلاثِ طَبَقَاتٍ.

4 And in front of the chambers was a walk ten cubits in breadth, the length [reaching] to a hundred cubits; and their doors were northward.

٤ وَأَمَامَ الْمَخَادِعِ مَمَرٌّ عَرْضُهُ عَشْرُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ أَمْتَارٍ) وَطُولُهُ مِئَةُ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسِينَ مِتْراً) وَأَبْوَابُهُ مُشْرَعَةٌ نَحْوَ الشِّمَالِ.

5 And the upper walks were in like manner: for the peristyle projected from it, [even] from the range of columns below, and [there was] a space between; so [were there] a peristyle and a space between, and so [were there] two porticos.

٥ وَكَانَتِ الْمَخَادِعُ الْعُلْيَا أَضْيَقَ مِنْ مَخَادِعِ الطَّابِقَيْنِ الآخَرَيْنِ لأَنَّ الأَعْمِدَةَ شَغَلَتْ جُزْءاً مِنْهَا.

6 For they were triple, and they had not pillars like the pillars of the outer ones: therefore they projected from the lower ones and the middle ones from the ground.

٦ لأَنَّ الْمَخَادِعَ مُؤَلَّفَةٌ مِنْ ثَلاثِ طَبَقَاتٍ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهَا أَعْمِدَةٌ كَأَعْمِدَةِ السَّاحَاتِ. لِذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ الْمَخَادِعَ الْعُلْيَا كَانَتْ أَضْيَقَ مِنْ مَخَادِعِ الطَّابِقَيْنِ الآخَرَيْنِ: الأَسْفَلِ وَالأَوْسَطِ

7 And [there was] light without, corresponding to the chambers of the outer court looking toward the front of the northern chambers; the length [of them was] fifty cubits.

٧ وَكَانَ طُولُ الْجِدَارِ الْخَارِجِيِّ الْمُوَازِي لامْتِدَادِ الْمَخَادِعِ، بِاتِّجَاهِ السَّاحَةِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ، خَمْسِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِتْراً)،

8 For the length of the chambers looking toward the inner court was fifty cubits, and these are the ones that front the others; the whole was a hundred cubits.

٨ لأَنَّ طُولَ امْتِدَادِ الْمَخَادِعِ فِي السَّاحَةِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ خَمْسُونَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِتْراً)، بَيْنَمَا طُولُ امْتِدَادِ الْمَخَادِعِ الْمُوَاجِهَةِ لِلْهَيْكَلِ مِئَةُ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسِينَ مِتْراً)

9 And [there were] doors of these chambers for an outlet toward the east, so that one should go through them out of the outer court,

٩ وَأُقِيمَ تَحْتَ هَذِهِ الْمَخَادِعِ مَدْخَلٌ فِي الْجِهَةِ الشَّرْقِيَّةِ يُفْضِي إِلَى الْمَخَادِعِ مِنَ السَّاحَةِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ.

10 by the opening of the walk at the corner; and the south parts were toward the south, toward the remaining space, and toward the partition, and [so were] the chambers.

١٠ وَفِي عَرْضِ جِدَارِ الدَّارِ نَحْوَ الشَّرْقِ كَانَتْ هُنَاكَ مَخَادِعُ قَائِمَةٌ فِي الشِّمَالِ، فِي مُوَاجَهَةِ السَّاحَةِ، مُقَابِلَ الْبِنَاءِ.

11 And the walk was in front of them, according to the measures of the chambers toward the north, both according to the length of them, and according to the breadth of them, and according to all their openings, an according to all their turnings, and according to their lights, and according to their doors.

١١ وَأَمَامَهَا مَمَرٌّ. وَكَانَتْ مُمَاثِلَةً فِي طُولِهَا وَعَرْضِهَا وَجَمِيعِ مَخَارِجِهَا وَأَشْكَالِهَا وَأَبْوَابِهَا لِلْمَخَادِعِ الَّتِي نَحْوَ الشِّمَالِ.

12 [So were the measures] of the chambers toward the south, and according to the doors at the entrance of the walk, as it were the distance of a reed for light, and eastward as one went in by them.

١٢ وَكَانَ تَحْتَ الْمَخَادِعِ الْمُتَّجِهَةِ نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ مَدْخَلٌ شَرْقِيٌّ يُفْضِي إِلَى الْمَمَرِّ الْمُؤَدِّي إِلَيْهَا، وَفِي مُوَاجَهَتِهَا جِدَارٌ فَاصِلٌ.

13 And he said to me, The chambers toward the north, and the chambers toward the south, in front of the void spaces, these are the chambers of the sanctuary, wherein the priests the sons of Sadduc, who draw night to the Lord, shall eat the most holy things: and there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat-offering, and the sin-offerings, and the trespass-offerings; because the place is holy.

١٣ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِيَ الْمَلاكُ: «إِنَّ الْمَخَادِعَ الشِّمَالِيَّةَ وَالْمَخَادِعَ الْجَنُوبِيَّةَ الْمُقَابِلَةَ لِلسَّاحَةِ مَخَادِعُ مُقَدَّسَةٌ، حَيْثُ يَأْكُلُ الْكَهَنَةُ الَّذِينَ يُقَرِّبُونَ فِي خِدْمَتِهِمْ إِلَى الرَّبِّ أَقْدَاسَ الْقَرَابِينِ. هُنَاكَ يَضَعُونَ أَقْدَاسَ الْقَرَابِينِ وَتَقْدِمَةَ الْحُبُوبِ، وَذَبِيحَةَ الْخَطِيَّةِ، وَذَبِيحَةَ الإِثْمِ لأَنَّ الْمَكَانَ مُقَدَّسٌ.

14 None shall go in thither except the priests, [and] they shall not go forth of the holy place into the outer court, that they that draw nigh [to me] may be continually holy, and may not touch their garments in which they minister, [with defilement], for they are holy; and they shall put on other garments whenever they come in contact with the people.

١٤ وَعَلَى الْكَهَنَةِ بَعْدَ دُخُولِهِمْ إِلَيْهَا أَنْ لَا يَخْرُجُوا إِلَى السَّاحَةِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ إِلّا بَعْدَ أَنْ يَخْلَعُوا ثِيَابَهُمُ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ الَّتِي يَخْدُمُونَ بِها، وَيَرْتَدُونَ ثِيَاباً غَيْرَهَا. ثُمَّ يَذْهَبُونَ إِلَى حَيْثُ يَجْتَمِعُ الشَّعْبُ».

15 So the measurement of the house within was accomplished: and he brought me forth by the way of the gate that looks eastward, and measured the plan of the house round about in order.

١٥ وَعِنْدَمَا انْتَهَى مِنْ قِيَاسِ الْهَيْكَلِ الدَّاخِلِيِّ أَخْرَجَنِي إِلَى الْبَابِ الشَّرْقِيِّ، وَقَاسَ مِنْطَقَةَ الْهَيْكَلِ الْمُحِيطَةَ بِهِ.

16 And he stood behind the gate looking eastward, and measured five hundred [cubits] with the measuring reed.

١٦ فَقَاسَ الْجَانِبَ الشَّرْقِيَّ بِقَصَبَةِ الْقِيَاسِ فَكَانَ خَمْسَ مِئَةِ قَصَبَةٍ (نَحْوَ أَلْفٍ وَخَمْسِ مِئَةِ مِتْرٍ).

17 And he turned to the north and measured in front of the north [side] five hundred cubits with the measuring reed.

١٧ ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلَ إِلَى الْجَانِبِ الشِّمَالِيِّ فَقَاسَهُ، فَكَانَ خَمْسَ مِئَةِ قَصَبَةٍ (نَحْوَ أَلْفٍ وَخَمْسِ مِئَةِ مِتْرٍ).

18 And he turned to the west, and measured in front of the west side, five hundred [cubits] with the measuring reed.

١٨ وَقَاسَ الْجَانِبَ الْجَنُوبِيَّ فَكَانَ خَمْسَ مِئَةِ قَصَبَةٍ (نَحْوَ أَلْفٍ وَخَمْسِ مِئَةِ مِتْرٍ).

19 And he turned to the south, and measured in front of the south side, five hundred [cubits] by the measuring reed.

١٩ وَكَذَلِكَ قَاسَ الْجَانِبَ الْغَرْبِيَّ فَكَانَ خَمْسَ مِئَةِ قَصَبَةٍ (نَحْوَ أَلْفٍ وَخَمْسِ مِئَةِ مِتْرٍ).

20 The [four sides he measured] by the same reed, and he marked out the house and the circumference of the parts round about, [a space] of five hundred [cubits] eastward, and a breadth of five hundred cubits, to make a division between the sanctuary and the outer wall, that [belonged to] the design of the house.

٢٠ وَهَكَذَا أَتَمَّ قِيَاسَ مُحِيطِ جَوَانِبِهِ الأَرْبَعَةِ وَكَانَ لَهُ سُورٌ مُرَبَّعٌ طُولُهُ خَمْسُ مِئَةِ قَصَبَةٍ (نَحْوَ أَلْفٍ وَخَمْسِ مِئَةِ مِتْرٍ)، وَكَذَلِكَ عَرْضُهُ، لِيَفْصِلَ بَيْنَ الْمَوْضِعِ الْمُقَدَّسِ وَالْمَوَاضِعِ الْعَامَّةِ.
