Ezekiel 43
1 Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looks toward the east.
その後、彼はわたしを門に導いた。門は東に面していた。
2 Look, 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 shined with his glory.
その時、見よ、イスラエルの神の栄光が、東の方から来たが、その来る響きは、大水の響きのようで、地はその栄光で輝いた。
3 It was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to 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 on my face.
わたしが見た幻の様は、彼がこの町を滅ぼしに来た時に、わたしが見た幻と同様で、これはまたわたしがケバル川のほとりで見た幻のようであった。それでわたしは顔を伏せた。
4 The glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.
主の栄光が、東の方に面した門の道から宮にはいった時、
5 The Spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and look, the glory of the LORD filled the house.
霊がわたしを引き上げて、内庭に導き入れると、見よ、主の栄光が宮に満ちた。
6 I heard one speaking to me out of the house; and a man stood by me.
その人がわたしのかたわらに立った時、わたしはひとりの人が、宮の中からわたしに語るのを聞いた。
7 He said to 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 forever. The house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their prostitution, and by the dead bodies of their kings in their high places;
彼はわたしに言った、「人の子よ、これはわたしの位のある所、わたしの足の裏の踏む所、わたしが永久にイスラエルの人々の中に住む所である。またイスラエルの家は、民もその王たちも、再び姦淫と、王たちの死体とをもって、わが聖なる名を汚さない。
8 in their setting of their threshold by my threshold, and their doorpost beside my doorpost, and there was but the wall between me and them; and they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed: therefore I have consumed them in my anger.
彼らはその敷居を、わが敷居のかたわらに設け、その門柱を、わが門柱のかたわらに設けたので、わたしと彼らとの間には、わずかに壁があるのみである。そして彼らは、その犯した憎むべき事をもって、わが聖なる名を汚したので、わたしは怒りをもって、これを滅ぼした。
9 Now let them put away their prostitution, and the dead bodies of their kings, far from me; and I will dwell in their midst forever.
今彼らに命じて姦淫と、その王たちの死体を、わたしから遠く取り除かせよ。そうしたら、わたしは永久に彼らの中に住む。
10 "You, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.
人の子よ、宮と、その外形と、設計とをイスラエルの家に示せ。彼らはその悪を恥じるであろう。
11 If they be ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the form of the house, and its fashion, and its exits, and its entrances, and all its forms, and all its ordinances, and all its forms, and all its laws; and write it in their sight; that they may keep the whole form of it, and all its ordinances, and do them.
彼らがその犯したすべての事を恥じたら、彼らに、この宮の建て方、設備、出口、入口、すべての形式、すべてのおきて、すべての規定を示せ。これを彼らの目の前に書き、彼らにそのすべての規定と、おきてとを守り行わせよ。
12 "This is the law of the house: on the top of the mountain the whole limit around it shall be most holy. Look, this is the law of the house.
宮の規定はこれである。山の頂の四方の地域はみな最も聖である。見よ、これは宮の規定である。
13 "These are the measurements of the altar by units of length (each unit is the standard eighteen inches plus three inches): the bottom shall be twenty-one inches, and the breadth twenty-one inches, and its border around its edge nine inches. And this shall be the height of the altar:
祭壇の寸法はキュビトですれば、次のようである。（そのキュビトは一キュビトと一手幅である。）土台は高さ一キュビト、幅一キュビト、その周囲の縁は半キュビトである。
14 from the bottom on the ground to the lower ledge shall be three feet five inches, and the breadth twenty-one inches; and from the lesser ledge to the greater ledge shall be six feet eleven inches, and the breadth twenty-one inches.
祭壇の高さは、次のとおりである。地面の土台から下のかさねまで二キュビト、幅は一キュビト、また小さいかさねから大きいかさねまで四キュビト、その幅は一キュビトである。
15 The upper altar shall be six feet eleven inches; and four horns project upward from the altar hearth.
祭壇の炉は四キュビトで、祭壇の炉から高さ一キュビトの角が四本出ていた。
16 The altar hearth shall be twenty-four feet one inch long by twenty-four feet one inch broad, square in the four sides of it.
炉は長さ十二キュビト、幅十二キュビトの四角形である。
17 The ledge shall be twenty-four feet one inch long by twenty-four feet one inch broad in the four sides of it; and the border about it shall be ten and a half inches; and its bottom shall be twenty-one inches around; and its steps shall look toward the east."
そのかさねは四方とも長さ十四キュビト、幅十四キュビトの四角形、その周囲の縁は幅半キュビト、その台は四方一キュビト、その階段は東に面する」。
18 He said to me, "Son of man, thus says the LORD: These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.
彼はわたしに言った、「人の子よ、主なる神はこう言われる、祭壇を建て、その上に燔祭をささげ、これに血を注ぐ日には、次のことを祭壇の定めとせよ。
19 You shall give to the priests the Levites who are of the offspring of Zadok, who are near to me, to minister to me, says the LORD, a young bull for a sin offering.
すなわち主なる神は言われる、ザドクの子孫で、わたしに近く仕えるレビびとである祭司には、罪祭のために雄牛の子を与えよ。
20 You shall take of its blood, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the ledge, and on the border all around: thus you shall cleanse it and make atonement for it.
またその血をとって、これを祭壇の四つの角と、かさねの四すみと、周囲の縁に塗って、祭壇を清め、これをあがなえ。
21 You shall also take the bull of the sin offering, and it shall be burnt in the appointed place of the house, outside of the sanctuary.
あなたはまた罪祭の牛をとって、これを聖所の外、宮のうちの定められた所で焼け。
22 "On the second day you shall offer a male goat without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bull.
第二日に、あなたは無傷の雄やぎを、罪祭としてささげよ。すなわち雄牛で清めたように、これで祭壇を清めよ。
23 When you have finished cleansing it, you shall offer a young bull without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.
清めごとを終えたなら、無傷の雄牛の子と、群れの中の無傷の雄羊とをささげよ。
24 You shall bring them near to the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt on them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering to the LORD.
これを主の前に持ってきて、祭司らはその上に塩をまき、これらを燔祭として主にささげよ。
25 "Seven days you shall prepare every day a goat for a sin offering: they shall also prepare a young bull, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish.
七日の間、あなたは日々雄やぎを罪祭とせよ。また雄牛の子と、群れの中の雄羊との無傷のものをととのえ、
26 Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify it; so shall they consecrate it.
七日の間、彼らは祭壇をあがない、これを清め、これを聖別しなければならない。
27 When they have accomplished the days, it shall be that on the eighth day, and forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings on the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, says the LORD."
彼らがこれらの日を満たしたとき、八日目から後は、祭司たちは、あなたがたの燔祭と、酬恩祭とを祭壇の上に供える。そうすれば、わたしは、あなたがたを受けいれると、主なる神は言われる」。
