< 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,
El hombre me sacó por la puerta norte al patio exterior, a las habitaciones que se encuentran en el lado más alejado del patio del Templo, junto al muro exterior norte.
2 before the length of the hundred cubits: the entry was on the north, and the breadth was fifty cubits,
El edificio que daba a la puerta norte tenía cien codos de largo y cincuenta de ancho.
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];
Tenía tres pisos de salas abiertas a ambos lados, uno que daba a la zona de veinte codos del patio interior y otro que daba al pavimento del patio exterior.
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.
Delante de las salas había un pasillo interior de diez codos de ancho y cien de largo. Sus puertas daban al norte.
5 And the upper cells, because the galleries encroached on them, were shorter than the lower, and than the middle-most of the building.
Las habitaciones superiores eran más pequeñas debido al espacio que ocupaban las salas abiertas en los niveles inferior y medio del edificio.
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.
Como no tenían pilares como los patios, las habitaciones superiores estaban más alejadas que las de los niveles inferior y medio.
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:
Delante de las habitaciones había un muro exterior de cincuenta codos de largo, paralelo al patio exterior.
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.
Las habitaciones del patio exterior tenían una longitud de cincuenta codos, pero las que daban al Templo tenían una longitud de cien codos.
9 And under these cells was the entry from the east, as one goeth into them from the outer court.
Debajo de estas habitaciones había una entrada en el lado este que venía del patio exterior.
10 In the breadth of the wall of the court toward the south, before the separate place, and before the building, were cells;
A lo largo del muro del sur lado del patio exterior había habitaciones junto al patio y frente al edificio.
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.
Frente a ellas había un pasillo, al igual que las habitaciones del lado norte. Estas habitaciones tenían la misma longitud y anchura, las mismas puertas, planta y salidas.
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.
Del mismo modo, había una entrada debajo de las habitaciones del lado sur del edificio, que venía del lado este.
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.
El hombre me dijo: “Las habitaciones del norte y del sur que dan al patio del Templo son habitaciones sagradas donde los sacerdotes que se presentan ante el Señor comerán las ofrendas más sagradas. Allí colocarán las ofrendas santísimas porque el lugar es sagrado, e incluyen las ofrendas de grano, las ofrendas por el pecado y las ofrendas por la culpa.
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.
Una vez que los sacerdotes hayan entrado en estas habitaciones, no deben salir al patio exterior antes de dejar sus ropas sacerdotales, porque éstas son sagradas. Deben cambiarse de ropa antes de ir donde está la gente común”.
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.
Cuando el hombre terminó de medir dentro del área del Templo, me sacó por la puerta oriental y midió también los alrededores.
16 He measured the east side with the measuring-reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring-reed round about.
Con la vara de medir midió el lado oriental. Tenía quinientos codos de largo.
17 He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring-reed round about.
Midió el lado norte. Tenía quinientos codos de largo.
18 He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring-reed.
Midió el lado sur. Tenía quinientos codos de largo.
19 He turned about to the west side, [and] measured five hundred reeds with the measuring-reed.
Luego dio la vuelta y midió el lado oeste. Tenía quinientos codos de largo.
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.
Así midió los cuatro lados. Había un muro que lo rodeaba, de quinientos codos de largo y quinientos de ancho, que separaba lo sagrado de lo común.
