Ezekiel 43
1 And he brought me unto the gate, the gate which looked toward the east.
Derpå førte han mig hen til Østporten.
2 And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east; and his voice was like the voice of many waters; and the earth was lit up with his glory.
Og se Israels Guds Herlighed kom østerfra, og det lød som mange Vandes Brus, og Jorden lyste af hans Herlighed.
3 And the appearance of the vision that I saw was according to the vision that I had seen when I came to destroy the city; and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar: and I fell upon my face.
Synet var som det, jeg havde set, da han kom for at ødelægge Byen, og Vognen så ud som den, jeg havde set ved Floden Kebar. Da faldt jeg på mit Ansigt.
4 And the glory of Jehovah came into the house by the way of the gate whose front was toward the east.
Og HERRENs Herlighed drog ind i Templet gennem den Port, hvis Forside vendte mod Øst.
5 And the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of Jehovah filled the house.
Men Ånden løftede mig op og bragte mig ind i den indre Forgård, og se, HERRENs Herlighed fyldte Templet.
6 And I heard one speaking unto me out of the house; and a man was standing by me.
Og jeg hørte en tale til mig ud fra Templet, medens Manden stod ved Siden af mig,
7 And he said unto me, Son of man, [this is] the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever; and the house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, they nor their kings, with their fornication, and with the carcases of their kings [in] their high places,
og han sagde: Menneskesøn! Her er min Trones og mine Fodsålers Sted, hvor jeg vil bo midt iblandt Israeliterne til evig Tid. Israels Hus skal ikke mere vanhellige mit hellige Navn, hverken de eller deres konger, med deres Bolen eller deres kongers Lig,
8 in that they set their threshold by my threshold, and their post by my post, and [there was only] a wall between me and them, and they defiled my holy name with their abominations which they committed; and I consumed them in mine anger.
de, som satte deres Tærskel lige ved min og deres Dørstolper lige ved mine, kun med en Mur imellem mig og dem, og vanhelligede mit hellige Navn ved de Vederstyggeligheder, de øvede, så jeg måtte tilintetgøre dem i min Vrede.
9 Now let them put away their fornication, and the carcases of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.
Nu skal de fri mig for deres Bolen og deres Kongers Lig, så jeg kan bo iblandt dem til evig Tid.
10 Thou, son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be confounded at their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.
Men du, Menneskesøn, giv Israels Hus en Beskrivelse af Templet, dets Udseende og Form, at de må skamme sig over deres Misgerninger.
11 And if they be confounded at all that they have done, make known to them the form of the house, and its fashion, and its goings out, and its comings in, and all its forms, and all its statutes, yea, all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof; and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the statutes thereof, and do them.
Og dersom de skammer sig over alt, hvad de har gjort, så kundgør dem Templets Omrids og Indretning, dets Udgange og Indgange, et helt Billede deraf; ligeledes alle Vedtægter og Love derom; og skriv det op for deres Øjne, at de må mærke sig Billedet i sin Helhed og alle Vedtægterne og holde dem.
12 This is the law of the house: Upon the top of the mountain all its border round about is most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.
Dette er Loven om Templet: På Bjergets Tinde skal alt dets Område til alle Sider være højhelligt; se, det er Loven om Templet.
13 And these are the measures of the altar in cubits: the cubit is a cubit and a hand breadth. The bottom was a cubit [in height] and the breadth a cubit, and its border on the edge thereof round about, one span: and this was the base of the altar.
Følgende er Alterets Mål i Alen, en Alen en Håndsbred længere end sædvanlig: Foden var en Alen høj og en Alen bred, Kantlisten Randen rundt et Spand høj. Om Alterets Højde gælder følgende:
14 And from the bottom upon the ground to the lower settle was two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the small settle to the great settle, four cubits, and the breadth a cubit.
Fra Foden underneden op til det nederste Fremspring to Alen med en Alens Bredde; og fra det lille Fremspring til det store fire Alen med en Alens Bredde.
15 And the upper altar was four cubits; and from the hearth of God and upward were four horns.
Ildstedet var fire Alen højt, og fra Ildstedet ragede fire Horn i Vejret.
16 And the hearth of God was twelve [cubits] long, by twelve broad, square in the four sides thereof.
Ildstedet var tolv Alen langt og tolv Alen bredt, så det dannede en ligesidet Firkant.
17 And the settle was fourteen [cubits] long by fourteen broad in the four sides thereof; and the border about it, half a cubit; and the bottom thereof a cubit round about: and its steps looked toward the east.
Det store Fremspring var fjorten Alen langt og fjorten Alen bredt på alle fire Sider; det lille Fremspring seksten Alen langt og seksten Alen bredt på alle fire Sider; Kantlisten rundt om en halv Alen bred og Foden en Alen bred rundt om. Trappen var på Østsiden.
18 And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer up burnt-offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.
Og han sagde til mig: Menneskesøn! Så siger den Herre HERREN: Følgende er Vedtægteme om Alteret, på den Dag det bygges til at ofre Brændofre og sprænge Blod på:
19 And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that are of the seed of Zadok, who come near unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord Jehovah, a young bullock for a sin-offering.
Så lyder det fra den Herre HERREN: Levitpræsterne, som nedstammer fra Zadok og må nærme sig mig for at gøre Tjeneste for mig, skal du give en ung Tyr til Syndoffer;
20 And thou shalt take of its blood, and put it on the four horns thereof, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the border round about: so shalt thou purge and make atonement for it.
og du skal tage noget af dens Blod og stryge det på Alterets fire Horn, på Fremspringets fire Hjørner og på Kantlisten rundt om og således rense det for Synd og fuldbyrde Soningen for det.
21 And thou shalt take the bullock of the sin-offering, and it shall be burned in the appointed place of the house, outside the sanctuary.
Og du skal tage Syndoffertyren og brænde den ved Tempelvagten uden for Helligdommen.
22 And on the second day thou shalt present a he-goat without blemish for a sin-offering; and they shall purge the altar, as they purged it with the bullock.
Næste Dag skal du bringe en lydefri Gedebuk som Syndoffer, og de skal rense Alteret for Synd, ligesom de rensede det med Tyren.
23 When thou hast ended purging it, thou shalt present a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish;
Og når du er til Ende med at rense det for Synd, skal du bringe en lydefri ung Tyr og en lydefri Væder af Småkvæget;
24 and thou shalt present them before Jehovah; and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt-offering unto Jehovah.
du skal bringe dem for HERRENs Åsyn, og Præsterne skal strø Salt på dem og ofre dem som Brændoffer for HERREN.
25 Seven days shalt thou offer daily a goat for a sin-offering; they shall also offer a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.
Syv Dage skal du daglig ofre en Syndofferbuk, og man skal ofre en ung Tyr og en Væder af Småkvæget, lydefri Dyr;
26 Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify it, and consecrate it.
i syv Dage skal man fuldbyrde Soningen for Alteret og rense det og indvie det.
27 And when these days are ended, it shall be that upon the eighth day and onwards the priests shall offer your burnt-offerings upon the altar, and your peace-offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord Jehovah.
Således skal man bære sig ad i disse Dage. Og på den ottende Dag og siden hen skal Præsterne ofre eders Brændofre og Takofre på Alteret; og jeg vil have Behag i eder, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
