Ezekiel 43
1 And he led me to the gate which looked toward the way of the east.
Et duxit me ad portam, quæ respiciebat ad viam Orientalem.
2 And behold, the glory of the God of Israel entered along the way of the east. And his voice was like the voice of many waters. And the earth was resplendent before his majesty.
Et ecce gloria Dei Israel ingrediebatur per viam Orientalem: et vox erat ei quasi vox aquarum multarum, et terra splendebat a maiestate eius.
3 And I saw a vision in accord with the form that I had seen when he arrived so that he might destroy the city. And the form was in accord with the sight that I had seen beside the river Chebar. And I fell upon my face.
Et vidi visionem secundum speciem, quam videram, quando venit ut disperderet civitatem: et species secundum aspectum, quem videram iuxta fluvium Chobar: et cecidi super faciem meam.
4 And the majesty of the Lord advanced into the temple, along the way of the gate which looked toward the east.
Et maiestas Domini ingressa est templum per viam portæ, quæ respiciebat ad Orientem.
5 And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court. And behold, the house was filled with the glory of the Lord.
Et elevavit me Spiritus, et introduxit me in atrium interius: et ecce repleta erat gloria Domini domus.
6 And I heard someone speaking to me from the house, and the man who was standing beside me
Et audivi loquentem ad me de domo, et vir qui stabat iuxta me,
7 said to me: “Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the steps of my feet, is where I live: in the midst of the sons of Israel forever. And the house of Israel, they and their kings, shall no longer defile my holy name by their fornications, and by the ruinous ways of their kings, and by exalted places.
dixit ad me: Fili hominis, locus solii mei, et locus vestigiorum pedum meorum, ubi habito in medio filiorum Israel in æternum: et non polluent ultra domus Israel nomen sanctum meum, ipsi, et reges eorum in fornicationibus suis, et in ruinis regum suorum, et in excelsis.
8 They have fabricated their threshold beside my threshold, and their doorposts beside my doorposts. And there was a wall between me and them. And they defiled my holy name by the abominations which they committed. Because of this, I consumed them in my wrath.
Qui fabricati sunt limen suum iuxta limen meum, et postes suos iuxta postes meos: et murus erat inter me et eos: et polluerunt nomen sanctum meum in abominationibus, quas fecerunt: propter quod consumpsi eos in ira mea.
9 Now therefore, let them drive away their fornications, and the ruinous ways of their kings, from before me. And I will live in their midst forever.
Nunc ergo repellant procul fornicationem suam, et ruinas regum suorum a me: et habitabo in medio eorum semper.
10 But as for you, son of man, reveal the temple to the house of Israel, and let them be confounded by their iniquities, and let them measure the fabrication,
Tu autem fili hominis ostende domui Israel templum, et confundantur ab iniquitatibus suis, et metiantur fabricam:
11 and let them be ashamed at all the things that they have done. Reveal to them the form and the fabrication of the house, its exits and entrances, and its entire description, and all of its precepts, and its entire order, and all of its laws. And you shall write in their sight, so that they may observe its entire description and its precepts, and so that they may accomplish them.”
et erubescant ex omnibus, quæ fecerunt: Figuram domus, et fabricæ eius exitus, et introitus, et omnem descriptionem eius, et universa præcepta eius, cunctumque ordinem eius, et omnes leges eius ostende eis, et scribes in oculis eorum: ut custodiant omnes descriptiones eius, et præcepta illius, et faciant ea.
12 This is the law of the house at the summit of the mountain, with all its parts all around. It is the Holy of Holies. Therefore, this is the law of the house.
Ista est lex domus in summitate montis: Omnis finis eius in circuitu, Sanctum Sanctorum est: hæc est ergo lex domus.
13 Now these are the measures of the altar by the most true cubit, which has a cubit and a palm. Its bend was a cubit, and it was a cubit in width. And its boundary, even to its edge and all around, was the width of one palm. The trough of the altar was like this also.
Istæ autem mensuræ altaris in cubito verissimo, qui habebat cubitum, et palmum: in sinu eius erat cubitus et cubitus in latitudine, et definitio eius usque ad labium eius, et in circuitu, palmus unus. Hæc quoque erat fossa altaris.
14 And from the bend at the floor even to the furthest rim was two cubits, and the width was one cubit. And from the lesser rim even to the greater rim was four cubits, and the width was one cubit.
Et de sinu terræ usque ad crepidinem novissimam duo cubiti, et latitudo cubiti unius: et a crepidine minore usque ad crepidinem maiorem quattuor cubiti, et latitudo cubiti unius.
15 Now the hearth itself was four cubits. And from the hearth going upward, there were four horns.
Ipse autem Ariel quattuor cubitorum: et ab Ariel usque ad sursum, cornua quattuor.
16 And the hearth was twelve cubits in length by twelve cubits in width, foursquare, with equal sides.
Et Ariel duodecim cubitorum in longitudine per duodecim cubitos latitudinis: quadrangulatum æquis lateribus.
17 And the rim was fourteen cubits in length, by fourteen cubits in width, at its four corners. And the crown all around it was one half cubit, and its bend was one cubit all around. And its steps turned toward the east.
Et crepido quattuordecim cubitorum longitudinis per quattuordecim cubitos latitudinis in quattuor angulis eius: et corona in circuitu eius dimidii cubiti, et sinus eius unius cubiti per circuitum: gradus autem eius versi ad Orientem.
18 And he said to me: “Son of man, thus says the Lord God: These are the rituals of the altar, in whatever day it will be made, so that holocausts may be offered upon it, and blood may be poured out.
Et dixit ad me: Fili hominis, hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Hi sunt ritus altaris in quacumque die fuerit fabricatum: ut offeratur super illud holocaustum, et effundatur sanguis.
19 And you shall present these to the priests and to the Levites, who are of the offspring of Zadok, those who draw near to me, says the Lord God, so that they may offer to me a calf from the herd on behalf of sin.
Et dabis sacerdotibus, et Levitis, qui sunt de semine Sadoc, qui accedunt ad me, ait Dominus Deus, ut offerant mihi vitulum de armento pro peccato.
20 And you shall take from its blood, and you shall place it on its four horns, and on the four corners of the rim, and on the crown all around. And so shall you cleanse and expiate it.
Et assumens de sanguine eius, pones super quattuor cornua eius, et super quattuor angulos crepidinis, et super coronam in circuitu: et mundabis illud, et expiabis.
21 And you shall take the calf, which will be offered for sin, and you shall burn it in a separate place in the house, outside of the sanctuary.
Et tolles vitulum, qui oblatus fuerit pro peccato: et combures eum in separato loco domus extra sanctuarium.
22 And on the second day, you shall offer an immaculate he-goat from among the she-goats on behalf of sin. And they shall expiate the altar, just as they expiated it with the calf.
Et in die secunda offeres hircum caprarum immaculatum pro peccato: et expiabunt altare, sicut expiaverunt in vitulo.
23 And when you will have completed expiating it, you shall offer an immaculate calf from the herd and an immaculate ram from the flock.
Cumque compleveris expians illud, offeres vitulum de armento immaculatum, et arietem de grege immaculatum.
24 And you shall offer them in the sight of the Lord. And the priests shall sprinkle salt over them, and they shall offer them as a holocaust to the Lord.
Et offeres eos in conspectu Domini: et mittent sacerdotes super eos sal, et offerent eos holocaustum Domino.
25 For seven days, you shall offer daily a he-goat on behalf of sin. Also, they shall offer a calf from the herd, and a ram from the flock, ones that are immaculate.
Septem diebus facies hircum pro peccato quotidie: et vitulum de armento, et arietem de pecoribus immaculatos offerent.
26 For seven days, they shall expiate the altar, and they shall cleanse it, and they shall fill its hand.
Septem diebus expiabunt altare, et mundabunt illud: et implebunt manum eius.
27 Then, when the days have been completed, on the eighth day and thereafter, the priests shall offer your holocausts upon the altar along with the peace offering. And I will be pleased with you, says the Lord God.”
Expletis autem diebus, in die octava et ultra, facient sacerdotes super altare holocausta vestra, et quæ pro pace offerunt: et placatus ero vobis, ait Dominus Deus.
