< Ezekiel 46 >
1 Thus says the Lord God: “The gate of the inner court which looks toward the east shall be closed for the six days on which work is done. Then, on the Sabbath day, it shall be opened. But also on the day of the new moon, it shall be opened.
Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Porta atrii interioris, quae respicit ad Orientem, erit clausa sex diebus, in quibus opus fit: die autem Sabbati aperietur, sed et in die Calendarum aperietur.
2 And the prince shall enter from outside, by the way of the vestibule of the gate, and he shall stand at the threshold of the gate. And the priests shall offer his holocaust and his peace offerings. And he shall adore upon the threshold of the gate, and then depart. But the gate shall not be closed until evening.
Et intrabit princeps per viam vestibuli portae deforis, et stabit in limine portae: et facient sacerdotes holocaustum eius, et pacifica eius: et adorabit super limen portae, et egredietur: porta autem non claudetur usque ad vesperam.
3 And the people of the land shall adore at the entrance of the same gate, on the Sabbaths and on the new moons, in the sight of the Lord.
Et adorabit populus terrae ad ostium portae illius in Sabbatis, et in Calendis coram Domino.
4 Now this holocaust, which the prince shall offer to the Lord on the Sabbath day, shall be six immaculate lambs, and one immaculate ram.
Holocaustum autem hoc offeret princeps Domino: in die Sabbati sex agnos immaculatos, et arietem immaculatum.
5 The sacrifice shall be one ephah for each ram. But for the lambs, the sacrifice shall be whatever his hand shall give. And there shall be one hin of oil for each ephah.
Et sacrificium ephi per arietem: in agnis autem sacrificium quod dederit manus eius: et olei hin per singula ephi.
6 Then, on the day of the new moon, he shall offer one immaculate calf from the herd. Both the six lambs and the rams shall be immaculate.
In die autem Calendarum vitulum de armento immaculatum: et sex agni, et arietes immaculati erunt.
7 And he shall offer the sacrifice of one ephah for each calf, and also one ephah for each ram. But for the lambs, it shall be just as his hand will find. And there shall be one hin of oil for each ephah.
Et ephi per vitulum, ephi quoque per arietem faciet sacrificium: de agnis autem, sicut invenerit manus eius: et olei hin per singula ephi.
8 And when the prince will enter, let him enter by the way of the vestibule of the gate, and let him go out by the same way.
Cumque ingressurus est princeps, per viam vestibuli portae ingrediatur, et per eamdem viam exeat.
9 And when the people of the land will enter in the sight of the Lord on the solemnities, whoever enters by the north gate so that he may adore, shall depart by the way of the south gate. And whoever enters by the way of the south gate shall depart by the way of the north gate. He shall not return by way of the gate through which he entered. Instead, he shall depart from the direction opposite to it.
Et cum intrabit populus terrae in conspectu Domini in sollemnitatibus: qui ingreditur per portam Aquilonis, ut adoret, egrediatur per viam portae Meridianae: porro qui ingreditur per viam portae Meridianae, egrediatur per viam portae Aquilonis: non revertetur per viam portae, per quam ingressus est, sed e regione illius egredietur.
10 But the prince in their midst shall enter when they enter, and he shall depart when they depart.
Princeps autem in medio eorum cum ingredientibus ingredietur, et cum egredientibus egredietur.
11 And during the feasts and the solemnities, there shall be the sacrifice of one ephah for each calf, and one ephah for each ram. But for the lambs, the sacrifice shall be just as his hand will find. And there shall be one hin of oil for each ephah.
Et in nundinis, et in sollemnitatibus erit sacrificium ephi per vitulum, et ephi per arietem: de agnis autem erit sacrificium sicut invenerit manus eius: et olei hin per singula ephi.
12 But when the prince will offer a voluntary holocaust or a voluntary peace offering to the Lord, the gate which looks toward the east shall be opened to him. And he shall offer his holocaust and his peace offerings, just as is usually done on the Sabbath day. And he shall depart, and the gate shall be closed after he has gone out.
Cum autem fecerit princeps spontaneum holocaustum, aut pacifica voluntaria Domino: aperietur ei porta, quae respicit ad Orientem, et faciet holocaustum suum, et pacifica sua, sicut fieri solet in die sabbati: et egredietur, claudeturque porta postquam exierit.
13 And daily he shall offer, as a holocaust to the Lord, an immaculate lamb of the same age. He shall offer it always in the morning.
Et agnum eiusdem anni immaculatum faciet holocaustum quotidie Domino: semper mane faciet illud.
14 And he shall offer as a sacrifice with it, morning after morning, one sixth part of an ephah, and one third part of a hin of oil, to be mixed with the fine flour, as a sacrifice to the Lord, by a continual and everlasting ordinance.
Et faciet sacrificium super eo cata mane mane sextam partem ephi, et de oleo tertiam partem hin, ut misceatur similae: sacrificium Domino legitimum, iuge atque perpetuum.
15 He shall offer the lamb and the sacrifice and the oil, morning after morning, as an everlasting holocaust.
Faciet agnum, et sacrificium, et oleum cata mane mane, holocaustum sempiternum.
16 Thus says the Lord God: If the prince grants a gift to any of his sons, the inheritance of it will go to his sons; they shall possess it as an inheritance.
Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Si dederit princeps domum alicui de filiis suis: hereditas eius, filiorum suorum erit, possidebunt eam hereditarie.
17 But if he grants a legacy from his inheritance to one of his servants, it shall be his only until the year of remission, and then it shall be returned to the prince. For his inheritance shall go to his sons.
Si autem dederit legatum de hereditate sua uni servorum suorum, erit illius usque ad annum remissionis, et revertetur ad principem: hereditas autem eius, filiis eius erit.
18 And the prince shall not take from the inheritance of the people by force, nor from their possession. Instead, from his own possession, he shall give an inheritance to his sons, so that my people will not be scattered, each one from his possession.”
Et non accipiet princeps de hereditate populi per violentiam, et de possessione eorum: sed de possessione sua hereditatem dabit filiis suis: ut non dispergatur populus meus unusquisque a possessione sua.
19 And he led me in by the entrance which was at the side of the gate, into the storerooms of the sanctuary for the priests, which looked toward the north. And there was a place there which verged toward the west.
Et introduxit me per ingressum, qui erat ex latere portae, in gazophylacia sanctuarii ad sacerdotes, quae respiciebant ad Aquilonem: et erat ibi locus vergens ad Occidentem.
20 And he said to me: “This is the place where the priests will cook the offering for sin and the offering for trespasses. Here, they shall cook the sacrifice, so that they need not carry it to the outer court, and so that the people may be sanctified.”
Et dixit ad me: Iste est locus ubi coquent sacerdotes pro peccato, et pro delicto: ubi coquent sacrificium, ut non efferant in atrium exterius, et sanctificetur populus.
21 And he led me away to the outer court, and he led me around by the four corners of the court. And behold, there was a little atrium at the corner of the court; a little atrium was at each corner of the court.
Et eduxit me in atrium exterius, et circumduxit me per quattuor angulos atrii: et ecce atriolum erat in angulo atrii, atriola singula per angulos atrii.
22 At the four corners of the court, little atriums were positioned, forty cubits in length, and thirty in width; each of the four were of the same measure.
In quattuor angulis atrii atriola disposita, quadraginta cubitorum per longum, et triginta per latum: mensurae unius quattuor erant.
23 And there was a wall all around, encircling the four little atriums. And kitchens had been constructed under the porticos on all sides.
Et paries per circuitum ambiens quattuor atriola: et culinae fabricatae erant subter porticus per gyrum.
24 And he said to me: “This is the house of the kitchens, in which the ministers of the house of the Lord will cook the victims of the people.”
Et dixit ad me: Haec est domus culinarum, in qua coquent ministri domus Domini victimas populi.
