Ezekiel 40
1 At the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month of the twenty-fifth year of our exile, (fourteenth years after Jerusalem had been captured), was the exact day that the Lord's power came over me and he took me there to the city.
われわれが捕え移されてから二十五年、都が打ち破られて後十四年、その年の初めの月の十日、その日に主の手がわたしに臨み、わたしをかの所に携えて行った。
2 God took me to the country of Israel in vision and set me down on a very high mountain. On the south side of the mountain there were buildings that seemed to be a city.
すなわち神は幻のうちに、わたしをイスラエルの地に携えて行って、非常に高い山の上におろされた。その山の上に、わたしと相対して、一つの町のような建物があった。
3 When he took me there I saw a man who looked like shining bronze. He was holding a linen cord and a measuring rod as he stood in the entrance way.
神がわたしをそこに携えて行かれると、見よ、ひとりの人がいた。その姿は青銅の形のようで、手に麻のなわと、測りざおとを持って門に立っていた。
4 “Son of man,” he told me, “watch with your eyes, listen with your ears. Concentrate on everything I'm about to show you, because that's the reason you were brought here. You are to explain to the people of Israel what you've been shown, everything you see.”
その人はわたしに言った、「人の子よ、目で見、耳で聞き、わたしがあなたに示す、すべての事を心にとめよ。あなたをここに携えて来たのは、これをあなたに示すためである。あなたの見ることを、ことごとくイスラエルの家に告げよ」。
5 I could see a wall that surrounded the Temple. The measuring rod the man was holding was six long cubits in length (a long cubit is a cubit plus a handbreadth). He measured the wall as six cubits thick and six cubits high.
見よ、宮の外の周囲に、かきがあり、その人の手に六キュビトの測りざおがあった。そのキュビトは、おのおの一キュビトと一手幅とである。彼が、そのかきの厚さを測ると、一さおあり、高さも一さおあった。
6 Then he went up the steps of the east-facing gate. He measured the gate's threshold as six cubits deep.
彼が東向きの門に行き、その階段を上って、門の敷居を測ると、その厚さは一さおあり、
7 Beyond that were alcoves that measured six cubits by six cubits, with five cubits between the alcoves. The threshold of the inside entrance facing the porch measured six cubits.
その詰め所は長さ一さお、幅一さお、詰め所と、詰め所との間は五キュビトあり、内の門の廊のかたわらの門の敷居は一さおあった。
8 Then he measured the entrance porch.

9 It was eight cubits deep, and its posts were two cubits thick. The entrance porch faced the Temple.
その脇柱は二キュビト、門の廊は内側にあった。
10 There were three alcoves on each side of the east gate entrance that all measured the same. The posts on each side also measured the same.

13 Then he measured the entrance gateway from the roof of one alcove to the roof of the one opposite. It was twenty-five cubits from one doorway to the opposite doorway.
彼がまたこの詰め所の裏から、かの詰め所の裏まで、門を測ると、入口から入口まで二十五キュビトあった。
14 Then he measured the distance between the posts as sixty cubits. The gateway led all the way around to the courtyard.

詰め所と、門の内側の周囲の脇柱とに窓があり、廊の内側の周囲にも、同様に窓があり、脇柱には、しゅろがあった。
17 He took me into the outer courtyard. I saw rooms and a pavement had been constructed around the courtyard. There were thirty rooms facing the pavement.
彼がまたわたしを外庭に携え入れると、見よ、庭の周囲に設けた室と、敷石とがあり、敷石の上に三十の室があった。
18 This was termed the lower pavement and it extended along the sides of the gateways and was the same length as them.
敷石は門のわきにあり、門と同じ長さで、これは下の敷石である。
19 He measured the distance from the front of the lower gateway to the far side of the inner courtyard as one hundred cubits, both to the east side and the north.

45 The man told me: “The room that faces south is for the priests in charge of the Temple,
彼はわたしに言った、この南向きの室は、宮を守る祭司のためのもの、
46 and the room that faces north is for the priests in charge of the altar. These priests are the descendants of Zadok and are the only Levites who are allowed to come near to the Lord and minister before him.”
