Ezekiel 42
1 Then he brought me forth into the utter court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber that [was] over against the separate place, and which [was] before 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 Before the length of an hundred cubits [was] the north door, and the breadth [was] fifty cubits.
Bangunan itu panjangnya lima puluh meter, dan lebarnya dua puluh lima meter.
3 Over against the twenty [cubits] which [were] for the inner court, and over against the pavement which [was] for the utter court, [was] 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 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 were higher than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of 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], but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore [the building] was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from 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 over against the chambers, toward the utter court on the forepart 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] in the utter court [was] fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple [were] an hundred cubits.
9 And from under these chambers [was] the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the utter 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 The chambers [were] in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, over against the separate place, and over against the building.
11 And the way before them [was] like the appearance of the chambers which [were] toward the north, as long as they, [and] as broad as they: and all their goings out [were] both according to their fashions, and according to 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 And according to the doors of the chambers that [were] toward the south [was] a door in the head of the way, [even] the way directly before the wall toward 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 [be] holy chambers, where the priests that approach unto the LORD shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass 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 therein, then shall they not go out of the holy [place] into the utter court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they [are] holy; and shall put on other garments, and shall approach to [those things] which [are] for 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 toward 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, five hundred [reeds] long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place.
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.
