Ezekiel 42
1 And he brought me forth into the outer court, the way toward the north; and he brought me to the cells that were over against the separate place and which were over against the building, toward the north,
Kemudian laki-laki itu membawa aku ke pelataran luar dan menuntun aku ke bangunan lain di sebelah utara Rumah TUHAN, tidak jauh dari bangunan besar di sebelah barat Rumah TUHAN itu.
2 before the length of the hundred cubits: the entry was on the north, and the breadth was fifty cubits,
Bangunan itu panjangnya lima puluh meter, dan lebarnya dua puluh lima meter.
3 over against the twenty [cubits] that pertained to the inner court, and over against the pavement that pertained to the outer court; there was gallery against gallery in the third [story];
Satu sisi dari bangunan itu menghadap ke beranda yang lebarnya sepuluh meter itu, sedang sisi yang lain menghadap ke lantai batu di pelataran luar. Bangunan itu bertingkat tiga; setiap tingkat menjorok lebih ke dalam daripada tingkat di bawahnya.
4 and before the cells was a walk of ten cubits in breadth, [and] a way of a hundred cubits inward; and their entries were toward the north.
Di depan kamar-kamar itu, di sebelah dalam ada lorong yang lebarnya lima meter dan panjangnya lima puluh meter. Pintu-pintunya menghadap ke utara.
5 And the upper cells, because the galleries encroached on them, were shorter than the lower, and than the middle-most of the building.
Kamar-kamar di tingkat atas lebih sempit daripada kamar-kamar di tingkat-tingkat bawahnya, sebab lorong-lorong di depan kamar-kamar di atas itu lebih lebar daripada yang ada di bawahnya.
6 For they were in three [stories], but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts; therefore [the third story] was straitened more than the lowest and the middle-most from the ground.
Kamar-kamar itu bertingkat tiga dan tidak ditopang oleh tiang-tiang seperti pada gedung-gedung di halaman.
7 And the wall that was without, answering to the cells, toward the outer court in the front of the cells, its length was fifty cubits:
Separuh dari tingkat bawah, sepanjang dua puluh lima meter merupakan tembok saja, sedangkan pada bagian selebihnya, juga sepanjang dua puluh lima meter, dibangun kamar-kamar. Pada tingkat yang paling atas ada kamar-kamar di sepanjang gedung itu.
8 for the length of the cells that were against the outer court was fifty cubits; but behold, before the temple it was a hundred cubits.
9 And under these cells was the entry from the east, as one goeth into them from the outer court.
Di bawah kamar-kamar di ujung timur bangunan ini, dan pada pangkal tembok, ada sebuah pintu yang menuju ke pelataran luar. Pada sisi selatan dari Rumah TUHAN, ada bangunan yang serupa, letaknya tidak jauh dari bangunan di sebelah barat.
10 In the breadth of the wall of the court toward the south, before the separate place, and before the building, were cells;
11 and a passage before them, like the appearance of the cells that were toward the north, according to their length, according to their breadth and all their goings out, and according to their fashions, and according to their doors.
Di depan kamar-kamarnya ada sebuah lorong yang sama seperti lorong di sebelah utara. Ukurannya sama, modelnya sama, dan pintu-pintunya pun sama.
12 And according to the doors of the cells that were toward the south there was a door at the head of the way, the way directly before the corresponding wall toward the east as one entereth into them.
Di bawah kamar-kamar di sisi selatan, yaitu di ujung timur pada pangkal tembok, ada juga sebuah pintu.
13 And he said unto me, The north cells [and] the south cells, which are before the separate place, they are holy cells, where the priests that come near unto Jehovah shall eat the most holy things; there shall they lay the most holy things, both the oblation and the sin-offering and the trespass-offering: for the place is holy.
Laki-laki itu berkata kepadaku, "Kedua bangunan itu suci. Di situ, para imam yang boleh menghadap kehadiran TUHAN, memakan kurban-kurban yang paling suci. Di situ juga harus mereka tempatkan kurban-kurban yang paling suci, yaitu: kurban gandum dan kurban penghapus dosa atau kurban ganti rugi.
14 When the priests enter in, they shall not go forth from the sanctuary into the outer court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister, for they are holy; and they shall put on other garments, and shall approach to that which is for the people.
Jika para imam selesai bertugas di Rumah TUHAN, dan mau pergi ke pelataran luar, maka pakaian khusus yang mereka pakai waktu melayani ibadat harus mereka tinggalkan di kamar-kamar itu. Mereka harus memakai pakaian lain, setelah itu barulah mereka boleh pergi ke tempat rakyat berkumpul."
15 And when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate whose front was toward the east, and measured [the enclosure] round about.
Sesudah laki-laki itu selesai mengukur bangunan Rumah TUHAN sebelah dalam, ia membawa aku keluar melalui gerbang timur, lalu mengukur bagian keliling Rumah TUHAN.
16 He measured the east side with the measuring-reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring-reed round about.
Dengan tongkat pengukurnya ia mengukur sisi sebelah timur: 250 meter.
17 He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring-reed round about.
Kemudian ia mengukur sisi sebelah utara, sisi sebelah selatan, dan sisi sebelah barat; setiap sisi panjangnya sama, yaitu 250 meter.
18 He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring-reed.
19 He turned about to the west side, [and] measured five hundred reeds with the measuring-reed.
20 He measured it on the four sides; it had a wall round about, five hundred long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.
Jadi, daerah Rumah TUHAN meliputi sebidang tanah persegi empat, berukuran 250 meter pada setiap sisi. Bidang tanah itu dikelilingi sebuah tembok untuk memisahkan daerah yang khusus untuk TUHAN dari daerah yang untuk umum.
