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.
in vicesimo et quinto anno transmigrationis nostrae in exordio anni decima mensis quartodecimo anno postquam percussa est civitas in ipsa hac die facta est super me manus Domini et adduxit me illuc
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.
in visionibus Dei adduxit me in terram Israhel et dimisit me super montem excelsum nimis super quem erat quasi aedificium civitatis vergentis ad austrum
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.
et introduxit me illuc et ecce vir cuius erat species quasi species aeris et funiculus lineus in manu eius et calamus mensurae in manu eius stabat autem in porta
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.”
et locutus est ad me idem vir fili hominis vide oculis tuis et auribus tuis audi et pone cor tuum in omnia quae ego ostendam tibi quia ut ostendantur tibi adductus es huc adnuntia omnia quae tu vides domui Israhel
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.
et ecce murus forinsecus in circuitu domus undique et in manu viri calamus mensurae sex cubitorum et palmo et mensus est latitudinem aedificii calamo uno altitudinem quoque calamo uno
6 Then he went up the steps of the east-facing gate. He measured the gate's threshold as six cubits deep.
et venit ad portam quae respiciebat viam orientalem et ascendit per gradus eius et mensus est limen portae calamo uno latitudinem id est limen unum calamo uno in latitudine
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.
et thalamum uno calamo in longum et uno calamo in latum et inter thalamos quinque cubitos
8 Then he measured the entrance porch.
et limen portae iuxta vestibulum portae intrinsecus calamo uno
9 It was eight cubits deep, and its posts were two cubits thick. The entrance porch faced the Temple.
et mensus est vestibulum portae octo cubitorum et frontem eius duobus cubitis vestibulum autem portae erat intrinsecus
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.
porro thalami portae ad viam orientalem tres hinc et tres inde mensura una trium et mensura una frontium ex utraque parte
11 He measured the width of the entrance gateway as ten cubits. It was thirteen cubits long.
et mensus est latitudinem liminis portae decem cubitorum et longitudinem portae tredecim cubitorum
12 A wall one cubit high was in front of alcove, and the alcoves measured six cubits by six cubits.
et marginem ante thalamos cubiti unius et cubitus unus finis utrimque thalami autem sex cubitorum erant hinc et inde
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.
et mensus est portam a tecto thalami usque ad tectum eius latitudinem viginti et quinque cubitorum ostium contra ostium
14 Then he measured the distance between the posts as sixty cubits. The gateway led all the way around to the courtyard.
et fecit frontes per sexaginta cubitos et ad frontem atrium portae undique per circuitum
15 It was fifty cubits from the gateway entrance to the far side of the inside porch.
et ante faciem portae quae pertingebat usque ad faciem vestibuli portae interioris quinquaginta cubitos
16 The alcoves and their pillars had narrow windows on all of the inside of the gateway. The porches also had windows on all of the inside. All the posts were decorated with palm tree designs.
et fenestras obliquas in thalamis et in frontibus eorum quae erant intra portam undique per circuitum similiter autem erant et in vestibulis fenestrae per gyrum intrinsecus et ante frontes pictura palmarum
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.
et eduxit me ad atrium exterius et ecce gazofilacia et pavimentum stratum lapide in atrio per circuitum triginta gazofilacia in circuitu pavimenti
18 This was termed the lower pavement and it extended along the sides of the gateways and was the same length as them.
et pavimentum in fronte portarum secundum longitudinem portarum erat inferius
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.
et mensus est latitudinem a facie portae inferioris usque ad frontem atrii interioris extrinsecus centum cubitos ad orientem et ad aquilonem
20 He also measured the length and width of the gateway of the outer courtyard that faced north.
portam quoque quae respiciebat viam aquilonis atrii exterioris mensus est tam in longitudine quam in latitudine
21 Its three alcoves on both sides, its posts, and its porch all measured the same as the first gateway and was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
et thalamos eius tres hinc et tres inde et frontem eius et vestibulum eius secundum mensuram portae prioris quinquaginta cubitorum longitudinem eius et latitudinem viginti quinque cubitorum
22 Its windows, porch, and palm tree decorations were the same as those of the east-facing gate. It had seven steps leading up to it, with its porch facing them.
fenestrae autem eius et vestibulum et scalpturae secundum mensuram portae quae respiciebat ad orientem et septem graduum erat ascensus eius et vestibulum ante eam
23 There was an entrance to the inner courtyard facing the north gate, just like the east gate. He measured the distance from the entrance to the gate as a hundred cubits.
et porta atrii interioris contra portam aquilonis et orientalem et mensus est a porta usque ad portam centum cubitos
24 He took me to the south side, and I saw a gateway that faced south. He measured its posts and its porch, and they measured the same as those previously.
et duxit me ad viam australem et ecce porta quae respiciebat ad austrum et mensus est frontem eius et vestibulum eius iuxta mensuras superiores
25 Both the gateway and its porch had windows all around it that were like the other windows. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
et fenestras eius et vestibula in circuitu sicut fenestras ceteras quinquaginta cubitorum longitudine et latitudine viginti quinque cubitorum
26 It had seven steps leading up to it, and its porch faced them. It had one post on each side with palm tree designs on them.
et in gradibus septem ascendebatur ad eam et vestibulum ante fores eius et celatae palmae erant una hinc et altera inde in fronte eius
27 The inner courtyard also had an entrance facing south, and he measured the distance from the entrance to the south gate as a hundred cubits.
et porta atrii interioris in via australi et mensus est a porta usque ad portam in via australi centum cubitos
28 He took me into the inner courtyard through the south gate, and he measured the south gate. It measured the same as those previously.
et introduxit me in atrium interius ad portam australem et mensus est portam iuxta mensuras superiores
29 Its alcoves, posts, and porch had the same measurements as those previously. The gateway and its porch had windows all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
thalamum eius et frontem eius et vestibulum eius hisdem mensuris et fenestras eius et vestibulorum eius in circuitu quinquaginta cubitos longitudinis et latitudinis viginti quinque cubitos
30 (The other surrounding porches measured twenty-five cubits long and five cubits deep.)
et vestibulum per gyrum longitudine viginti quinque cubitorum et latitudine quinque cubitorum
31 Its porch faced the outer courtyard, and its pillars were decorated with palm tree designs. It had eight steps leading up to it.
et vestibulum eius ad atrium exterius et palmas eius in fronte et octo gradus erant quibus ascendebatur per eam
32 He took me to the inner courtyard on the east side. He measured the gateway and it measured the same as those previously.
et introduxit me in atrium interius per viam orientalem et mensus est portam secundum mensuras superiores
33 Its alcoves, posts, and porch measured the same as those previously. The gateway and its porch had windows all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
thalamum eius et frontem eius et vestibula eius sicut supra et fenestras eius et vestibuli eius in circuitu longitudine quinquaginta cubitorum et latitudine viginti quinque cubitorum
34 Its porch faced the outer courtyard, and its posts were decorated with palm tree designs. It had eight steps leading up to it.
et vestibulum eius id est atrii exterioris et palmae celatae in fronte eius hinc et inde et in octo gradibus ascensus eius
35 He took me to the north gate and measured it. It measured the same as those previously,
et introduxit me ad portam quae respiciebat ad aquilonem et mensus est secundum mensuras superiores
36 including its alcoves, posts, and porch. The gateway and its porch had windows all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
thalamum eius frontem eius vestibulum eius et fenestras eius per circuitum longitudine quinquaginta cubitorum et latitudine viginti quinque cubitorum
37 Its porch faced the outer courtyard, and its posts were decorated with palm tree designs on all sides. It had eight steps leading up to it.
vestibulum eius in atrium exterius et celatura palmarum in fronte illius hinc et inde et in octo gradibus ascensus eius
38 A room with a doorway stood beside by the porch of the inner gateways. This was where the burnt offering was washed.
et per singula gazofilacia ostium in frontibus portarum ibi lavabunt holocaustum
39 Inside the gateway porch were two tables on both sides, where the sacrificial animals were slaughtered for burnt offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings.
et in vestibulo portae duae mensae hinc et duae mensae inde ut immoletur super eas holocaustum et pro peccato et pro delicto
40 Outside, on the way up to the entrance of the north gateway, were two tables on one side of the gate's porch and two tables on the other side.
et ad latus exterius quod ascendit ad ostium portae quae pergit ad aquilonem duae mensae et ad latus alterum ante vestibulum portae duae mensae
41 So there were four tables on the inside the of gateway and another four outside, making a total of eight tables. This is where the sacrifices were slaughtered.
quattuor mensae hinc et quattuor mensae inde per latera portae octo mensae erunt super quas immolabunt
42 There were also four tables of cut stone for the burnt offering. They each measured one and a half cubits long, one and a half cubits wide, and a cubit high. The tools used to slaughter the burnt offerings and the other sacrifices were placed on these tables.
quattuor autem mensae ad holocaustum de lapidibus quadris extructae longitudine cubiti unius et dimidii et latitudine cubiti unius et dimidii et altitudine cubiti unius super quas ponant vasa in quibus immolatur holocaustum et victima
43 Hooks measuring the width of a hand were attached to the walls inside the room. The meat of the offering was to be placed on the tables.
et labia earum palmi unius reflexa intrinsecus per circuitum super mensas autem carnes oblationis
44 Outside the inner gate but inside the inner courtyard were two rooms. One was beside the north gate and faced south; the other beside the south gate and faced north.
et extra portam interiorem gazofilacia cantorum in atrio interiori quod erat in latere portae respicientis ad aquilonem et facies eorum contra viam australem una ex latere portae orientalis quae respiciebat ad viam aquilonis
45 The man told me: “The room that faces south is for the priests in charge of the Temple,
et dixit ad me hoc est gazofilacium quod respicit viam meridianam sacerdotum qui excubant in custodiis templi
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.”
porro gazofilacium quod respicit ad viam aquilonis sacerdotum erit qui excubant ad ministerium altaris isti sunt filii Sadoc qui accedunt de filiis Levi ad Dominum ut ministrent ei
47 He measured the square courtyard: a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide. The altar stood in the courtyard in front of the Temple.
et mensus est atrium longitudine centum cubitorum et latitudine centum cubitorum per quadrum et altare ante faciem templi
48 He took me to the Temple porch and measured the pillars of the porch as five cubits on each side. The gateway was fourteen cubits wide and its sides measured three cubits.
et introduxit me in vestibulum templi et mensus est vestibulum quinque cubitis hinc et quinque cubitis inde et latitudinem portae trium cubitorum hinc et trium cubitorum inde
49 The porch was twenty cubits wide and twelve cubits deep, and had ten steps leading up to it. There were columns by the posts, one on both sides.
longitudinem autem vestibuli viginti cubitorum et latitudinem undecim cubitorum et octo gradibus ascendebatur ad eam et columnae erant in frontibus una hinc et altera inde
