Ezekiel 40

1 In the twenty-fifth year of our transmigration, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was struck, on this very day, the hand of the Lord was placed upon me, and he brought me to that place.

Idet fem og tyvende Aar, efter at vi vare bortførte, i Aarets Begyndelse, paa den tiende Dag i Maaneden, det fjortende Aar efter at Staden var bleven indtagen — paa denne Dag kom Herrens Haand over mig og førte mig derhen.

2 In the visions of God, he brought me into the land of Israel, and he released me on an exceedingly high mountain, on which there was something like the edifice of a city, verging toward the south.

I Syner fra Gud førte han mig til Israels Land og satte mig paa et saare højt Bjerg, og oven paa dette saa det ud, som man byggede en Stad imod Syd.

3 And he led me into that place. And behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a linen rope in his hand, and a measuring reed in his hand. And he was standing at the gate.

Da han havde ført mig derhen, se, da var der en Mand, hvis Udseende var som Udseendet af Kobber, og der var en Hørgarnssnor og en Maalestok i hans Haand, og han stod i Porten.

4 And the same man said to me: “Son of man, look with your eyes, and listen with your ears, and set your heart upon all that I will reveal to you. For you have been brought to this place, so that these things may be revealed to you. Announce all that you see to the house of Israel.”

Og Manden talte til mig: Du Menneskesøn! se til med dine Øjne, og hør med dine Øren, og ret dit Hjerte til alt det, som jeg vil lade dig se; thi du er ført hid, for at jeg skal lade dig se det; forkynd Israels Hus alt det, du ser.

5 And behold, there was a wall outside of the house, encircling it all around, and in the man’s hand was a measuring reed of six cubits and a palm. And he measured the width of the edifice with one reed; likewise, the height with one reed.

Og se, der gik en Mur uden om Huset trindt omkring, og i Mandens Haand var der en Maalestok, seks Alen lang, hver Alen en almindelig Alen og en Haandbred, og han maalte Murens Tykkelse eet Maal, og Højden eet Maal.

6 And he went to the gate which looked toward the east, and he ascended by its steps. And he measured the width of the threshold of the gate as one reed, that is, one threshold was one reed in width.

Og han kom til Porten, som vendte imod Østen, og gik op ad dens Trappetrin; og han maalte Portens Dørtærskel til eet Maal i Bredden, den ene Dørtærskel til eet Maal i Bredden;

7 And a chamber was one reed in length and one reed in width. And between the chambers, there were five cubits.

og Vagtkamre, hvert til eet Maal i Længden, og eet Maal i Bredden og fem Alen imellem Vagtkamrene, og Portens Dørtærskel ved Siden af Portens Forhal, set indenfra, til eet Maal.

8 And the threshold of the gate, next to the inner vestibule of the gate, was one reed.

Og han maalte Portens Forhal, set indenfra, til eet Maal.

9 And he measured the vestibule of the gate as eight cubits, and its front as two cubits. But the vestibule of the gate was inside.

Og han maalte Portens Forhal til otte Alen, og dens Piller til to Alen, og Portens Forhal vendte indad.

10 Moreover, the chambers of the gate, toward the way of the east, were three from one side to the other. The three were of one measure, and the fronts were of one measure, on both sides.

Og Vagtkamrene i Porten imod Øst vare tre paa denne og tre paa hin Side, de tre havde ens Maal, og ens Maal havde Pillerne paa denne og paa hin Side.

11 And he measured the width of the threshold of the gate as ten cubits, and the length of the gate as thirteen cubits.

Og jhan maalte Portaabningens Bredde til ti Alen og Portens Længde til tretten Alen.

12 And before the chambers, the border was one cubit. And on both sides, the border was one cubit. But the chambers were six cubits, from one side to the other.

Og der var en afgrænset Plads foran Vagtkamrene af een Alen paa denne og en afgrænset Plads af een Alen paa hin Side; og hvert Vagtkammer var seks Alen paa denne og seks Alen paa den anden Side.

13 And he measured the gate, from the roof of one chamber to the roof of another, twenty-five cubits in width, from door to door.

Og han maalte Porten, fra det ene Vagtkammers Tag indtil det andets Tag, til fem og tyve Alen i Bredden, Dør, imod Dør.

14 And he found the fronts to be sixty cubits. And at the front, there was a court for the gate on every side all around.

Og han satte Pillerne til tresindstyve Alen, og til Pillerne stødte Forgaarden, trindt omkring Porten.

15 And before the face of the gate, which extended even to the face of the vestibule of the gate of the interior, there were fifty cubits.

Og fra Forsiden af Porten, hvor Indgangen er, indtil Forsiden af den indre Ports Forhal var der halvtredsindstyve Alen.

16 And there were slanting windows in the chambers and at their fronts, which were within the gate on every side all around. And similarly, there were also windows in the vestibules all around the interior, and there were images of palm trees before the fronts.

Og der var snævrer Vinduer paa Vagtkamrene og paa deres Piller imod den indvendige Side af Porten trindt omkring og ligesaa paa de fremstaaende Sidemure, og der var Vinduer trindt omkring indadtil, og paa Pillerne var der Palmer.

17 And he led me away to the outer court, and behold, there were storerooms and a layer of pavement stones throughout the court. Thirty storerooms encircled the pavement.

Og han førte mig til den ydre Forgaard, og se, der var Kamre og et tavlet Stengulv, lagt i Forgaarden trindt omkring; der var tredive Kamre paa dette Gulv.

18 And the pavement in front of the gates, along the length of the gates, was lower.

Og det tavlede Gulv stødte op til Portenes Side, i Bredden svarende til Portbygningernes Længde; dette var det nedre Gulv.

19 And he measured the width, from the face of the lower gate to the front of the outer part of the inner court, to be one hundred cubits, to the east and to the north.

Og han maalte Bredden fra Forsiden af den nederste Port indtil Forsiden af den indre Forgaard, set udvendig fra, til hundrede Alen, den østre og nordre Side.

20 Likewise, he measured the gate of the outer court, which looked to the way of the north, to be as much in length as in width.

Og Porten, som vendte imod Nord, paa den ydre Forgaard, dens Længde og dens Bredde maalte han,

21 And its chambers were three from one side to the other. And its front and its vestibule, in accord with the measure of the former gate, were fifty cubits in its length and twenty-five cubits in width.

og dens Vagtkamre, tre paa denne og tre paa hin Side, og dens Piller og dens fremstaaende Sidemure; den var efter den første Ports Maal, halvtredsindstyve Alen var dens Længde og fem og tyve Alen Bredden.

22 Now its windows, and the vestibule, and the engravings were in accord with the measure of the gate which looked to the east. And its ascent was by seven steps, and a vestibule was before it.

Og dens Vinduer og dens fremstaaende Sidemure og dens Palmer vare efter Maalet ved den Port, som vender imod Østen, og man gik ad syv Trappetrin op dertil, og dens fremstaaende Sidemure vare foran dem.

23 And the gate of the inner court was opposite the gate of the north, and that of the east. And he measured from gate to gate as one hundred cubits.

Og en Port førte til den indre Forgaard, lige over for Porten, der gik ud til Nord og Øst, og han maalte fra Port til Port hundrede Alen.

24 And he led me to the way of the south, and behold, there was a gate which looked toward the south. And he measured its front and its vestibule to be the same as the measures above.

Og han førte mig imod Sønden, og se, der var en Port imod Sønden, og han maalte dens Piller og dens fremstaaende Sidemure efter de samme Maal.

25 And its windows and the vestibule all around were like the other windows: fifty cubits in length and twenty-five cubits in width.

Og der var Vinduer paa den og paa dens fremstaaende Sidemure trindt omkring, ligesom hine Vinduer; halvtredsindstyve Alen var Længden og fem og tyve Alen Bredden.

26 And there were seven steps to ascend to it, and a vestibule before its doors. And there were engraved palm trees, one on each side, at its front.

Og Opgangen dertil havde syv Trappetrin, og dens fremstaaende Sidemure vare foran dem, og den havde Palmer, een paa denne og een paa hin Side, paa dens Piller.

27 And there was a gate at the inner court, on the way to the south. And he measured from one gate to another, on the way to the south, to be one hundred cubits.

Og en Port førte til den indre Forgaard imod Sønden, og han maalte fra Port til Port imod Sønden hundrede Alen.

28 And he led me into the inner court, to the south gate. And he measured the gate to be in accord with the measures above.

Og han førte mig til den indre Forgaard igennem den søndre Port, og han maalte den søndre Port etter det samme Maal,

29 Its chamber, and its front, and its vestibule had the same measures. And its windows and its vestibule all around were fifty cubits in length, and twenty-five cubits in width.

og dens Vagtkamre og dens Piller og dens fremstaaende Sidemure efter de samme Maal; og der var Vinduer paa den og paa dens fremstaaende Sidemure trindt omkring, halvtredsindstyve Alen var Længden og fem og tyve Alen Bredden.

30 And the vestibule all around was twenty-five cubits in length, and five cubits in width.

Og der var fremstaaende Sidemure trindt omkring, fem og tyve Alen var Længden og fem Alen Bredden.

31 And its vestibule was toward the outer court, and its palm trees were at the front. And there were eight steps to ascend to it.

Og dens fremstaaende Sidemure vendte imod den ydre Forgaard, og der var Palmer paa dens Piller, og Opgangen dertil var otte Trappetrin.

32 And he led me into the inner court, along the way of the east. And he measured the gate to be in accord with the measures above.

Og han førte mig til den indre Forgaard, imod Østen, og han maalte Porten efter de samme Maal

33 Its chamber, and its front, and its vestibule were as above. And its windows and its vestibules all around were fifty cubits in length, and twenty-five cubits in width.

og dens Vagtkamre og dens Piller og dens fremstaaende Sidemure efter de samme Maal; og der var Vinduer paa den og paa dens fremstaaende Sidemure trindt omkring, halvtredsindstyve Alen var Længden og fem og tyve Alen Bredden.

34 And it had a vestibule, that is, at the outer court. And the engraved palm trees at its front were on one side and the other. And its ascent was by eight steps.

Og dens fremstaaende Sidemure vendte imod den ydre Forgaard, og der var Palmer paa dens Piller, paa denne og paa hin Side, og Opgangen dertil var otte Trappetrin.

35 And he led me to the gate which looked toward the north. And he measured it to be in accord with the measures above.

Og han førte mig til den nordre Port, og han maalte den efter de samme Maal,

36 Its chamber, and its front, and its vestibule, and its windows all around were fifty cubits in length, and twenty-five cubits in width.

dens Vagtkamre, dens Piller og dens fremstaaende Sidemure; og der var Vinduer paa den trindt omkring, halvtredsindstyve Alen var Længden og fem og tyve Alen Bredden.

37 And its vestibule looked toward the outer court. And an engraving of palm trees at its front was on one side and the other. And its ascent was by eight steps.

Og dens Piller vendte imod den ydre Forgaard, og der var Palmer paa dens Piller paa denne og paa hin Side, og Opgangen dertil var otte Trappetrin.

38 And at each one of the storerooms, there was a door at the front of the gates. There, they washed the holocaust.

Og ved Pillerne ved Portene var der et Kammer med Dør; der skulde de afskylle Brændofferet.

39 And at the vestibule of the gate, there were two tables on one side, and two tables on the other side, so that the holocaust, and the offering for sin, and the offering for transgression could be immolated upon them.

Og i Portens Forhal stode to Borde paa denne og to Borde paa den anden Side, til derpaa at slagte Brændofferet og Syndofferet og Skyldofferet.

40 And at the outer side, which ascends to the door of the gate that goes toward the north, there were two tables. And at the other side, before the vestibule of the gate, there were two tables.

Og ved Siden udenfor, til Nord, naar man stiger opad til Indgangen til Porten, stode to Borde, og ved den anden Side, fra Portens Forhal, stode to Borde,

41 Four tables were on one side, and four tables were on the other side; along the sides of the gate, there were eight tables, upon which they immolated.

fire Borde paa denne og fire Borde paa den anden Side, ved Siden af Porten, i alt otte Borde, paa hvilke de skulde slagte.

42 Now the four tables for the holocausts were constructed of square stones: one and a half cubit in length, and one and a half cubits in width, and one cubit in height. Upon these, they placed the vessels, in which the holocaust and the victim were immolated.

Og der var fire Borde ved Trappen, af hugne Stene, halvanden Alen lange og halvanden Alen brede og een Alen høje; paa dem skulde de lægge Redskaberne, med hvilke de skulde slagte Brændofferet og Slagtofferet.

43 And their edges were one palm in width, turned inward all around. And the flesh of the oblation was on the tables.

Og der var dobbelte Knage, som stode en Haandbred frem, befæstede paa Huset trindt omkring; og paa Bordene skulde Offerkødet lægges.

44 And outside the interior gate, there were storerooms for the cantors, in the inner court, which was beside the gate that looks toward the north. And their face was opposite the way to the south; one was beside the east gate, which looked toward the way of the north.

Og uden for den indre Port var der Kamre til Sangerne, inde i den indre Forgaard, som stødte op til Siden af den nordre Port, og deres Forside vendte imod Sønden; een Række var ved Siden af den østre Port, de vendte imod Nord.

45 And he said to me: “This is the storeroom that looks toward the south; it shall be for the priests who keep watch for the protection of the temple.

Og han talte til mig: Kamrene, hvis Forside vender imod Sønden, ere for Præsterne, som tage Vare paa, hvad der er at varetage ved Huset.

46 Moreover, the storeroom that looks toward the north will be for the priests who keep watch over the ministry of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, those among the sons of Levi who may draw near to the Lord, so that they may minister to him.”

Og Kamrene, hvis Forside vender imod Nord, ere for Præsterne, som tage Vare paa, hvad der er at varetage ved Alteret; disse ere Zadoks Børn, hvilke ud af Levi Børns Tal staa Herren nær for at tjene ham.

47 And he measured the court to be one hundred cubits in length, and one hundred cubits in width, with four equal sides. And the altar was before the face of the temple.

Og han maalte Forgaarden, Længden var hundrede Alen, og Bredden hundrede Alen, i Firkant, og Alteret stod lige for Huset.

48 And he led me into the vestibule of the temple. And he measured the vestibule to be five cubits on one side, and five cubits on the other side. And the width of the gate was three cubits on one side, and three cubits on the other side.

Og han førte mig til Husets Forhal og maalte Forhallens Piller til fem Alen paa denne og fem Alen paa hin Side, og Portens Bredde var tre Alen til denne og tre Alen til den anden Side.

49 Now the length of the vestibule was twenty cubits, and the width was eleven cubits, and there were eight steps to ascend to it. And there were pillars at the front, one on this side and another on that side.

Forhallens Længde var tyve Alen og Bredden elleve Alen, og det paa Trappen, ad hvilken man gik op til den, og der stod Søjler ved Pillerne, een paa denne og een paa hin Side.
