Ezekiel 42
1 Then he brought me forth into the outer court, the way toward the north; and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the separate place, and which was 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 even to the front of the length of a hundred cubits, with the door on the north, and the breadth of fifty cubits,
Bangunan itu panjangnya lima puluh meter, dan lebarnya dua puluh lima meter.
3 over against the twenty cubits which belonged to the inner court, and over against the pavement which belonged to the outer court; with gallery against gallery in three stories.
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 chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors 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 Now the upper chambers were shorter; for the galleries took away from these, more than from the lower and the middlemost, in 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, and they had not pillars as the pillars of the courts; therefore room was taken away from the lowest and the middlemost, in comparison with 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 by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court in front of the chambers, the length thereof 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 chambers that were toward the outer court was fifty cubits; and, lo, before the temple were a hundred cubits.
9 And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, 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 east, before the separate place, and before the building, there were chambers,
11 with a way before them; like the appearance of the chambers which were toward the north, as long as they, and as broad as they, with all their goings out, and according to their fashions; and as 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 so were also the doors of the chambers that were toward the south, there was a door in the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall, toward the way from 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 Then said he unto me: 'The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, they are the holy chambers, where the priests that are near unto the LORD shall eat the most holy things; there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meal-offering, and the sin-offering, and the guilt-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, then shall they not go out of the holy place 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 pertaineth to 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 Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it 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 by the four sides; it had a wall round about, the length five hundred, and the breadth five hundred, 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.
