Ezekiel 43
1 Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east;
Derpaa 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 sound of many waters; and the earth did shine 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 which I saw was like the vision that I saw 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 saa ud som den, jeg havde set ved Floden Kebar. Da faldt jeg paa mit Ansigt.
4 And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.
Og HERRENS Herlighed drog ind i Templet gennem den Port, hvis Forside vendte mod Øst.
5 And a spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.
Men Aanden løftede mig op og bragte mig ind i den indre Forgaard, og se, HERRENS Herlighed fyldte Templet.
6 And I heard one speaking unto me out of the house; and a man stood 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, neither they, nor their kings, by their harlotry, and by the carcasses of their kings in their high places;
og han sagde: Menneskesøn! Her er min Trones og mine Fodsaalers 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 their setting of their threshold by My threshold, and their door-post beside My door-post, and there was but the wall between Me and them; and they have defiled My holy name by their abominations which they have committed; wherefore I have 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, saa jeg maatte tilintetgøre dem i min Vrede.
9 Now let them put away their harlotry, and the carcasses 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, saa jeg kan bo iblandt dem til evig Tid.
10 Thou, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure accurately.
Men du, Menneskesøn, giv Israels Hus en Beskrivelse af Templet, dets Udseende og Form, at de maa skamme sig over deres Misgerninger.
11 And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, make known unto them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and 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 ordinances thereof, and do them.
Og dersom de skammer sig over alt, hvad de har gjort, saa 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 maa 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 the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.
Dette er Loven om Templet: Paa Bjergets Tinde skal alt dets Omraade til alle Sider være højhelligt; se, det er Loven om Templet.
13 And these are the measures of the altar by cubits — the cubit is a cubit and a handbreadth: the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about a span; and this shall be the base of the altar.
Følgende er Alterets Maal i Alen, en Alen en Haandsbred 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 shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser settle to the greater settle shall be 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 hearth shall be four cubits; and from the hearth and upward there shall be four horns.
Ildstedet var fire Alen højt, og fra Ildstedet ragede fire Horn i Vejret.
16 And the hearth shall be twelve cubits long by twelve broad, square in the four sides thereof.
Ildstedet var tolv Alen langt og tolv Alen bredt, saa det dannede en ligesidet Firkant.
17 And the settle shall be fourteen cubits long by fourteen broad in the four sides thereof; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and the bottom thereof shall be a cubit about; and the steps thereof shall look toward the east.'
Det store Fremspring var fjorten Alen langt og fjorten Alen bredt paa alle fire Sider; det lille Fremspring seksten Alen langt og seksten Alen bredt paa alle fire Sider; Kantlisten rundt om en halv Alen bred og Foden en Alen bred rundt om. Trappen var paa Østsiden.
18 And He said unto me: 'Son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD: These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt-offerings thereon, and to dash blood against it.
Og han sagde til mig: Menneskesøn! Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Følgende er Vedtægterne om Alteret, paa den Dag det bygges til at ofre Brændofre og sprænge Blod paa:
19 Thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that are of the seed of Zadok, who are near unto Me, to minister unto Me, saith the Lord GOD, a young bullock for a sin-offering.
Saa lyder det fra den Herre HERREN: Levitpræsterne, som nedstammer fra Zadok og maa nærme sig mig for at gøre Tjeneste for mig, skal du give en ung Tyr til Syndoffer;
20 And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the border round about; thus shalt thou purify it and make atonement for it.
og du skal tage noget af dens Blod og stryge det paa Alterets fire Horn, paa Fremspringets fire Hjørner og paa Kantlisten rundt om og saaledes rense det for Synd og fuldbyrde Soningen for det.
21 Thou shalt also take the bullock of the sin-offering, and it shall be burnt in the appointed place of the house, without the sanctuary.
Og du skal tage Syndoffertyren og brænde den ved Tempelvagten uden for Helligdommen.
22 And on the second day thou shalt offer a he-goat without blemish for a sin-offering; and they shall purify the altar, as they did purify 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 made an end of purifying it, thou shalt offer a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.
Og naar du er til Ende med at rense det for Synd, skal du bringe en lydefri ung Tyr og en lydefri Væder af Smaakvæget;
24 And thou shalt present them before the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt-offering unto the LORD.
du skal bringe dem for HERRENS Aasyn, og Præsterne skal strø Salt paa dem og ofre dem som Brændoffer for HERREN.
25 Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat for a sin-offering; they shall also prepare 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 Smaakvæget, lydefri Dyr;
26 Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and cleanse it; so shall they consecrate it.
i syv Dage skal man fuldbyrde Soningen for Alteret og rense det og indvie det.
27 And when they have accomplished the days, it shall be that upon the eighth day, and forward, the priests shall make your burnt-offerings upon the altar, and your peace-offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord GOD.'
Saaledes skal man bære sig ad i disse Dage. Og paa den ottende Dag og siden hen skal Præsterne ofre eders Brændofre og Takofre paa Alteret; og jeg vil have Behag i eder, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
