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.

I det fem og tyvende Aar efter at vi var ført i Landflygtighed, ved Nytaarstide, paa den tiende Dag i Maaneden i det fjortende Aar efter Byens indtagelse, netop paa den Dag kom HERRENS Haand over mig, og han førte mig

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 Guds Syner til Israels Land og satte mig paa et saare højt Bjerg, og paa det var der bygget noget som en By mod 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.

og da han havde ført mig derhen, se, da var der en Mand som Kobber at se til med en Hørgarnssnor og en Maalestang i Haanden, og han stod ved 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.”

Manden sagde til mig: »Menneskesøn, se med dine Øjne, hør med dine Ører og læg vel Mærke til alt, hvad jeg viser dig; thi du er ført hid, for at jeg skal vise dig det. Kundgør Israels Hus alt, hvad 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 var en Mur uden om Templet til alle Sider. Manden holdt i Haanden en Maalestang, som var seks Alen lang, en Alen en Haandsbred længere end sædvanlig, og han maalte Muren; den var eet Maal bred og eet Maal høj.

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.

Saa gik han op ad syv Trappetrin ind i den Port, hvis Forside vendte mod Øst; og han maalte Portens Tærskel 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.

hvert af Portens Siderum ligeledes til eet Maal i Længden og eet i Bredden, Murpillerne mellem Siderummene til fem Alen og Tærskelen ved Portens Forhal paa den Side,

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

der vendte indad i Porten, 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 Murpiller til to; Portens Forhal laa paa indersiden.

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.

Portens Siderum, tre paa hver Side, laa over for hverandre; de var lige store alle tre; ogsaa Murpillerne paa begge Sider var lige store.

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

Saa maalte han Portindgangens Bredde til ti Alen og Portgangens til tretten.

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.

Foran Siderummene var der paa begge Sider afspærrede Pladser paa een Alen, og selve Siderummene paa begge Sider var seks Alen.

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.

Saa maalte han Porten fra Indervæggen i et Siderum til Indervæggen i Siderummet lige overfor til en Bredde af fem og tyve Alen, Dør over for 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.

Saa maalte han Forhallen til tyve Alen; og Forgaarden omgav Portens Forhal.

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.

Fra Portens Forside udad til Portforhallens Forside indad 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.

Porten havde paa begge Sider Gittervinduer, som udvidede sig indad i Siderummene og deres Murpiller; ligeledes havde Forhallen paa alle Sider Vinduer, som udvidede sig indad. Paa Murpillerne til begge Sider 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.

Derpaa førte han mig ind i den ydre Forgaard. Og se, der var Kamre, og Forgaarden rundt var der et stenlagt Stykke; der var tredive Kamre paa Stenlægningen.

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

Det stenlagte Stykke stødte op til Portenes Sidemure, lige saa bredt som Portene var lange; det var den nedre Stenlægning.

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.

Han maalte Forgaardens Bredde fra den nedre Ports indre Forside til den indre Ports ydre Forside til hundrede Alen. Og han førte mig mod Nord,

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 se, der var en Port, som vendte mod Nord, i den ydre Forgaard, og han maalte dens Længde og Bredde.

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.

Den havde tre Siderum til hver Side, og Murpillerne og Forhallen havde samme Maal som i den første Port; den var halvtredsindstyve Alen lang og fem og tyve Alen bred.

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.

Vinduer, Forhal og Palmer havde samme Maal som i den Port, hvis Forside vendte mod Øst; ad syv Trin steg man op dertil, og Forhallen laa inderst inde.

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.

En Port til den indre Forgaard laa over for Nordporten, ligesom Forholdet var ved Østporten; 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.

Saa førte han mig mod Syd og se, der var ogsaa en Port mod Syd, og han maalte dens Murpiller og Forhal; de havde samme Maal som de andre.

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

Porten og dens Forhal havde Vinduer af samme Slags som de andre. Den var halvtredsindstyve Alen lang og fem og tyve Alen bred;

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.

syv Trin førte op til den; Forhallen laa inderst inde, og der var Palmer paa Murpillerne til begge Sider.

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.

Endelig var der en Port til den indre Forgaard over for Sydporten: han maalte hundrede Alen fra Port til Port.

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.

Derpaa førte han mig til den indre Forgaard gennem Sydporten, og den maalte han; den havde samme Størrelse som de andre,

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 Siderum, Murpiller og Forhal havde samme Størrelse som de andre; Porten og dens Forhal havde Vinduer rundt om. Den var halvtredsindstyve Alen lang og fem og tyve Alen bred.

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

(Der var Forhaller rundt om, fem og tyve Alen lange og fem Alen brede).

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.

Forhallen vendte ud mod den ydre Forgaard med Palmer paa Murpillerne, og otte Trin dannede dens Opgang.

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.

Saa førte han mig til Østporten og maalte denne Port; den havde samme Størrelse som de andre,

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 Siderum, Murpiller og Forgaard havde samme Størrelse som de andre; Porten og dens Forhal havde Vinduer rundt om. Den var halvtredsindstyve Alen lang og fem og tyve Alen bred.

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.

Forhallen vendte ud mod den ydre Forgaard med Palmer paa Murpillerne til begge Sider, og otte Trin dannede dens Opgang.

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.

Saa førte han mig til Nordporten og maalte den; den havde samme Størrelse som de andre,

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.

ligeledes Siderum, Murpiller og Forhal; Porten og dens Forhal havde Vinduer rundt om. Den var halvtredsindstyve Alen lang og fem og tyve Alen bred.

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.

Forhallen vendte ud mod den ydre Forgaard med Palmer paa Murpillerne til begge Sider, og otte Trin dannede dens Opgang.

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

Derpaa vendte han sig til det Indre, idet han førte mig til Østporten; der skyllede man 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 stod to Borde paa den ene Side og to paa den anden til at slagte Brændofferet, Syndofferet og Skyldofferet paa.

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.

Ogsaa ved det ydre Hjørne, mod Nord naar man steg op i Portindgangen, stod to Borde og ved Portforhallens andet Hjørne andre to,

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 hver Side ved Portens Hjørner, i alt otte. Paa dem slagtede man Slagtofferet.

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 til Brændofferet stod der tre Kvaderstensborde, halvanden Alen lange, halvanden Alen brede og en Alen høje; paa dem lagde man de Redskaber, med hvilke man slagtede 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.

De havde hele Vejen rundt en Rand paa en Haandsbred, der vendte indad; og oven over Bordene var der Tage til Værn mod Regn og Sol. Derpaa førte han mig atter

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.

til den indre Forgaard, og se, der var to Kamre, et ved Nordportens Hjørne med Forsiden mod Syd og et andet ved Sydportens Hjørne med Forsiden mod 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 sagde til mig: »Kammeret her, hvis Forside vender mod Syd, er for Præsterne, der tager Vare paa, hvad der er at varetage i Templet,

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 Kammeret der, hvis Forside vender mod Nord, er for Præsterne, der tager Vare paa, hvad der er at varetage ved Alteret. Det er Zadoks Sønner, som alene af Levis Sønner maa nærme sig HERREN 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.

Saa maalte han Forgaarden; den var hundrede Alen lang og hundrede Alen bred i Firkant; og Alteret stod foran Templet.

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.

Derpaa førte han mig til Templets Forhal og maalte Forhallens Piller; de var fem Alen brede paa begge Sider; Porten var fjorten Alen bred og dens Sidevægge tre Alen paa begge Sider,

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.

og Forhallen var tyve Alen lang og tolv Alen bred. Ad ti Trin steg man op til den; og der stod Søjler op ad Pillerne, een paa hver Side.
