Ezekiel 40

1 In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was struck, in the same day, the hand of Jehovah was on me, and he brought me there.

١ وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الْعَاشِرِ مِنْ مَطْلَعِ السَّنَةِ الْخَامِسَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ سَبْيِنَا الْمُوَافِقَةِ لِلسَّنَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ سُقُوطِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، كَانَتْ عَلَيَّ يَدُ الرَّبِّ فَأَحْضَرَنِي إِلَى هُنَاكَ،

2 In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me down on a very high mountain, whereon was as it were the frame of a city on the south.

٢ وَأَتَى بِي فِي رُؤَى اللهِ إِلَى أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَوَضَعَنِي عَلَى جَبَلٍ شَاهِقٍ حَيْثُ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ جِهَةِ الْجَنُوبِ مَا يُشْبِهُ بِنَاءَ الْمَدِينَةِ.

3 He brought me there; and, look, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.

٣ فَنَقَلَنِي إِلَى هُنَاكَ، وَإذَا بِرَجُلٍ مَظْهَرُهُ كَمَظْهَرِ النُّحَاسِ يَحْمِلُ بِيَدِهِ خَيْطَ كَتَّانٍ وَقَصَبَةً وَهُوَ وَاقِفٌ بِالْبَابِ.

4 The man said to me, "Son of man, see with your eyes, and hear with your ears, and set your heart on all that I shall show you; for, to the intent that I may show them to you, you are brought here: declare all that you see to the house of Israel."

٤ فَقَالَ لِي الرَّجُلُ: «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، انْظُرْ بِعَيْنَيْكَ وَأَصْغِ بِأُذُنَيْكَ وَانْتَبِهْ أَشَدَّ الانْتِبَاهِ إِلَى كُلِّ مَا أُطْلِعُكَ عَلَيْهِ، لأَنَّكَ لِهَذَا أُحْضِرْتَ إِلَى هُنَا. ثُمَّ أَبْلِغْ شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِكُلِّ مَا تَشْهَدُهُ».

5 Look, a wall on the outside of the house all around, and in the man's hand a measuring reed ten feet four inches (based on a standard eighteen inches plus three inches). So he measured the thickness of the building ten feet four inches, and the height ten feet four inches.

٥ وَإذَا بِسُورٍ قَائِمٍ خَارِجَ الْهَيْكَلِ مُحِيطٍ بِهِ. وَكَانَ طُولُ الْقَصَبَةِ الَّتِي فِي يَدِ الرَّجُلِ (نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ أَمْتَارٍ) فَشَرَعَ يَقِيسُ الْبِنَاءَ فَكَانَ كُلٌّ مِنْ عَرْضِهِ وَارْتِفَاعِهِ قَصَبَةً وَاحِدَةً (نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ أَمْتَارٍ).

6 Then came he to the gate which looks toward the east, and went up its steps: and he measured the threshold of the gate, ten feet four inches broad; and the other threshold, ten feet four inches broad.

٦ ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ مِنَ الْبَابِ الْمُوَاجِهِ لِلشَّرْقِ وَارْتَقَى دَرَجَهُ وَقَاسَ عَتَبَةَ الْبَابِ، فَكَانَ عَرْضُهَا قَصَبَةً وَاحِدَةً (نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ أَمْتَارٍ)، كَمَا كَانَ عَرْضُ الْعَتَبَةِ الأُخْرَى قَصَبَةً وَاحِدَةً

7 Every side-room was ten feet four inches long, and one reed broad; and the space between the side-rooms was eight feet seven inches; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate at the inner end was ten feet four inches.

٧ وَقَاسَ كَذَلِكَ الْحُجُرَاتِ الْجَانِبِيَّةَ فَكَانَ طُولُ وَعَرْضُ كُلٍّ مِنْهَا قَصَبَةً وَاحِدَةً، وَبَيْنَ كُلِّ حُجْرَةٍ وَحُجْرَةٍ خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ) وَكَانَ عَرْضُ عَتَبَةِ الْبَابِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ بِجَانِبِ رُوَاقِ الْبَابِ قَصَبَةً وَاحِدَةً.

8 He measured also the porch of the gate toward the house, ten feet four inches.

٨ ثُمَّ قَاسَ رُوَاقَ الْبَابِ مِنْ دَاخِلٍ فَكَانَ قَصَبَةً وَاحِدَةً،

9 Then measured he the porch of the gate, thirteen feet nine inches; and its jambs, three feet five inches; and the porch of the gate was toward the inner end.

٩ وَقَاسَ أَيْضاً رُوَاقَ الْبَابِ مَعَ عَضَائِدِهِ فَكَانَتْ بِجُمْلَتِهَا عَشَرَ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ أَمْتَارٍ). وَكَانَ رِوَاقُ الْبَابِ هَذَا مِنَ الدَّاخِلِ بِاتِّجَاهِ الْهَيْكَلِ.

10 The side-rooms of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure: and the jambs had the same measurement.

١٠ وَكَانَتْ حُجُرَاتُ الْحُرَّاسِ عِنْدَ الْبَابِ سِتّاً، ثَلاثاً عَلَى كُلِّ جَانِبٍ، وَكُلُّهَا ذَاتُ قِيَاسٍ وَاحِدٍ هِيَ وَعَضَائِدُهَا.

11 He measured the breadth of the opening of the gate, seventeen feet three inches; and the length of the gate, twenty-two feet five inches;

١١ ثُمَّ قَاسَ عَرْضَ مَدْخَلِ الْبَابِ فَكَانَ عَشَرَ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ أَمْتَارٍ) وَطُولُهُ ثَلاثَ عَشْرَةَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ سِتَّةِ أَمْتَارٍ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ).

12 and a barrier in front of the side-rooms, twenty-one inches, and a barrier on the other side, twenty-one inches; and the side-rooms were ten feet four inches square.

١٢ أَمَّا الْحَافَّةُ الَّتِي أَمَامَ الْحُجُرَاتِ فَكَانَتْ ذِرَاعاً وَاحِدَةً (نَحْوَ نِصْفِ مِتْرٍ) فِي كُلِّ جَانِبٍ. وَكَانَ طُولُ كُلِّ حُجْرَةٍ مِنْ حُجُرَاتِ الْحُرَّاسِ وَعَرْضُهَا سِتَ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ أَمْتَارٍ).

13 He measured the gate from the ceiling of the one side-room to the ceiling of the other, a breadth of fourty-three feet one inch; the openings being opposite each other.

١٣ ثُمَّ قَاسَ الْبَابَ مِنْ سَقْفِ الْحَائِطِ الْخَلْفِيِّ لِلْحُجْرَةِ إِلَى سَقْفِ الْحَائِطِ الْخَلْفِيِّ لِلْحُجْرَةِ الْمُقَابِلَةِ، فَكَانَتِ الْمَسَافَةُ بَيْنَهَا خَمْساً وَعِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ اثْنَي عَشَرَ مِتْراً وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)، الْبَابُ مُقَابِلُ الْبَابِ.

14 He also measured the porch, one hundred three feet four inches; and to the jamb of the courtyard was the gateway all around.

١٤ وَكَانَ طُولُ مُحِيطِ الْعَضَائِدِ الْقَائِمَةِ حَوْلَ مَمَرِّ الْمَدْخَلِ الدَّاخِلِيِّ سِتِّينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ ثَلاثِينَ مِتْراً).

15 From the forefront of the gate at the entrance to the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were eighty-six feet one inch.

١٥ كَمَا كَانَتِ الْمَسَافَةُ بَيْنَ حَافَّةِ بَابِ الْمَدْخَلِ وَحَافَّةِ بَابِ الرُّوَاقِ الدَّاخِلِيِّ خَمْسِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِتْراً).

16 There were closed windows to the side-rooms, and toward their jambs within the gate all around, and likewise to the porches; and windows were around the inside; and on each jamb were palm trees.

١٦ وَلِحُجُرَاتِ الْمَدْخَلِ وَجُدْرَانِهِ وَالرُّوَاقِ كُوىً مُشَبَّكَةٌ دَاخِلِيَّةٌ مُحِيطَةٌ بِها جَمِيعاً، كَمَا حُفِرَ عَلَى الْعَضَادَةِ رَسْمُ شَجَرَةِ نَخِيلٍ.

17 Then he brought me into the outer court; and look, there were rooms and a pavement, made for the court all around: thirty rooms faced the pavement.

١٧ ثُمَّ أَخَذَنِي إِلَى السَّاحَةِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ، وَإذَا بِمَخَادِعَ وَرَصِيفٍ مُحِيطٍ بِالسَّاحَةِ شُيِّدَ عَلَيْهِ ثَلاثُونَ مُخْدَعاً.

18 The pavement was by the side of the gates, corresponding to the length of the gates; this was the lower pavement.

١٨ وَكَانَ الرَّصِيفُ مُمْتَدّاً عَلَى جَوَانِبِ الْبَوَّابَاتِ، وَعَرْضُهُ مُمَاثِلٌ لِطُولِ الْبَوَّابَاتِ. هَذَا هُوَ الرَّصِيفُ الأَسْفَلُ.

19 Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate to the forefront of the inner court outside, one hundred seventy-two feet three inches, both on the east and on the north.

١٩ وَقَامَ الْمَلاكُ بِقِيَاسِ الْعَرْضِ مِنْ أَمَامِ الْبَابِ الأَسْفَلِ إِلَى أَمَامِ السَّاحَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ مِنَ الْخَارِجِ، فَكَانَتِ الْمَسَافَةُ مِئَةَ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسِينَ مِتْراً) إِلَى الشَّرْقِ وَإِلَى الشِّمَالِ.

20 And the gate of the outer court which faced toward the north, he measured its length and its breadth.

٢٠ ثُمَّ قَاسَ طُولَ وَعَرْضَ بَابِ السَّاحَةِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ الْمُتَّجِهِ نَحْوَ الشِّمَالِ،

21 And its side-rooms were three on either side, and its jambs and its porches had the same measurement as the first gate; its length was eighty-six feet one inch, and the breadth fourty-three feet one inch.

٢١ وَكَذَلِكَ حُجُرَاتِهِ الْمُتَقَابِلَةَ، ثَلاثاً مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ، وَعَضَائِدَهُ وَرُوَاقَهُ، فَكَانَتْ مَقَايِيسُهَا مُمَاثِلَةً لِمَقَايِيسِ الأَوَّلِ. طُولُهَا خَمْسُونَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِتْراً)، وَعَرْضُهَا خَمْسٌ وَعِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ مِتْراً وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ).

22 And its windows, and its porches, and the palm trees of it had the same measurement as the gate that faced toward the east. And they went up to it by seven steps; and its porch was in front of them.

٢٢ كَمَا كَانَتْ كُوَاهُ وَأَرْوِقَتُهُ وَنَخِيلُهُ مُمَاثِلَةً فِي قِيَاسِهَا لِقِيَاسِ الْبَابِ نَحْوَ الشَّرْقِ. وَكَانَتْ لَهُ سَبْعُ دَرَجَاتٍ يَصْعَدُونَ عَلَيْهَا لِلْوُصُولِ إِلَيْهِ. وَانْتَصَبَتْ أَمَامَهُ أَقْوَاسُ أَرْوِقَتِهِ.

23 And there was a gate to the inner court across the gate to the north and the east; and he measured from gate to gate one hundred seventy-two feet three inches.

٢٣ وَلِلسَّاحَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ بَابٌ مُقَابِلٌ لِبَابِ الشِّمَالِ، وَآخَرُ مُقَابِلٌ لِبَابِ الشَّرْقِ. وَقَاسَ الْمَسَافَةَ مِنْ بَابٍ إِلَى بَابٍ، وَإذَا بِها مِئَةُ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسِينَ مِتْراً).

24 He led me toward the south; and look, a gate toward the south. And he measured its jambs and its porches; they were the same size as the others.

٢٤ ثُمَّ أَخَذَنِي نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ، وَإذَا هُنَاكَ بَابٌ مُتَّجِهٌ نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ، فَقَاسَ عَضَائِدَهُ وَأَرْوِقَتَهُ فَكَانَتْ مُمَاثِلَةً لِلأَقْيِسَةِ السَّابِقَةِ.

25 There were windows in it and in its porches all around, like those windows; the length was eighty-six feet one inch, and the breadth fourty-three feet one inch.

٢٥ وَكَانَ فِي مَدْخَلِهِ وَأَرْوِقَتِهِ كُوىً تُحِيطُ بِها مُمَاثِلَةٌ لِكُوَى الْمَدْخَلَيْنِ الآخَرَيْنِ. وَكَانَ طُولُهُ خَمْسِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِتْراً) وَعَرْضُهُ خَمْساً وَعِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ مِتْراً وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ).

26 There were seven steps to go up to it, and its porches were in front of them; and it had palm trees on its jambs, one on either side.

٢٦ وَكَانَتْ لَهُ سَبْعُ دَرَجَاتٍ يَصْعَدُونَ عَلَيْهَا لِلْوُصُولِ إِلَيْهِ. وَانْتَصَبَتْ أَمَامَهُ أَقْوَاسُ أَرْوِقَتِهِ، وَنُقِشَتْ عَلَى عَضَائِدِهِ شَجَرَتَا نَخِيلٍ كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْ جَانِبٍ.

27 There was a gate to the inner court toward the south. And he measured from gate to gate toward the south one hundred seventy-two feet three inches.

٢٧ وَلِلسَّاحَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ بَابٌ مُتَّجِهٌ نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ. وَقَاسَ الْمَسَافَةَ مِنَ الْبَابِ إِلَى الْبَابِ وَإذَا بِها مِئَةُ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسِينَ مِتْراً) بِاتِّجَاهِ الْجَنُوبِ.

28 Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate, and it had the same dimensions as the others.

٢٨ ثُمَّ أَحْضَرَنِي إِلَى السَّاحَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ مِنْ بَابِ الْجَنُوبِ، وَقَاسَ الْبَابَ، فَكَانَتْ مَقَايِيسُهُ مُمَاثِلَةً لِمَقَايِيسِ الْبَابَيْنِ الآخَرَيْنِ،

29 And its side-rooms, and its jambs, and its porches were of the same size as the others. And there were windows in it and in its porches all around; it was eighty-six feet one inch long, and fourty-three feet one inch broad.

٢٩ وَكَذَلِكَ مَقَايِيسُ حُجُرَاتِهِ وَعَضَائِدِهِ وَأَرْوِقَتِهِ. كَمَا كَانَ لَهُ وَلأَرْوِقَتِهِ عَلَى امْتِدَادِ مُحِيطِهَا كُوىً. أَمَّا طُولُهُ فَكَانَ خَمْسِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِتْراً) وَعَرْضُهُ خَمْساً وَعِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ مِتْراً وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)

30 And there were porches all around, fourty-three feet one inch long, and eight feet seven inches broad.

٣٠ وَكَانَ عَلَى مُحِيطِهِ أَرْوِقَةٌ طُولُهَا خَمْسٌ وَعِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ مِتْراً وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)، وَعَرْضُهَا خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَينِ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ).

31 And the porches of it faced the outer court, and palm trees were on its jambs, and its stairway had eight steps.

٣١ وَكَانَتْ أَرْوِقَتُهُ الْمُقَبَّبَةُ مُوَاجِهَةً لِلسَّاحَةِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ، وَقَدْ نُقِشَتْ عَلَى عَضَائِدِهَا أَشْجَارُ نَخِيلٍ، وَلَهُ ثَمَانِي دَرَجَاتٍ تُفْضِي إِلَيْهِ.

32 And he brought me to the inner court toward the east, and he measured the gate as being the same size;

٣٢ وَأَتَى بِي إِلَى السَّاحَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ الْمُتَّجِهَةِ نَحْوَ الشَّرْقِ وَقَاسَ الْبَابَ، فَكَانَتْ قِيَاسَاتُهُ مُمَاثِلَةً لِلْمَقَايِيسِ الأُخْرَى.

33 and its side-rooms, and its jambs, and its porches were the same size as the others, and there were windows in it and in its porches all around. It was eighty-six feet one inch long, and fourty-three feet one inch broad.

٣٣ وَكَذَلِكَ مَقَايِيسُ حُجُرَاتِهِ وَعَضَائِدِهِ وَأَرْوِقَتِهِ. كَمَا كَانَ لَهُ وَلأَرْوِقَتِهِ كُوىً عَلَى طُولِ مُحِيطِهَا. أَمَّا طُولُهُ فَكَانَ خَمْسِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِتْراً)، وَعَرْضُهُ خَمْساً وَعِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ مِتْراً وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)

34 The porches of it faced the outer court; and palm trees were on its jambs, on either side, and its stairway had eight steps.

٣٤ وَكَانَتْ أَرْوِقَتُهُ الْمُقَبَّبَةُ مُوَاجِهَةً لِلسَّاحَةِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ، وَقَدْ نُقِشَتْ عَلَى عَضَائِدِهَ أَشْجَارُ نَخِيلٍ، وَلَهُ ثَمَانِي دَرَجَاتٍ تُفْضِي إِلَيْهِ.

35 He brought me to the north gate, and he measured it; and it had the same dimensions as the others;

٣٥ ثُمَّ أَخَذَنَي إِلَى بَابِ الشِّمَالِ وَقَاسَهُ، فَكَانَتْ مَقَايِيسُهُ مُمَاثِلَةً لِلْمَقَايِيسِ الأُخْرَى.

36 its side-rooms, its jambs, and its porches. And there were windows in it all around; the length was eighty-six feet one inch, and the breadth fourty-three feet one inch.

٣٦ وَكَذَلِكَ مَقَايِيسُ حُجُرَاتِهِ وَعَضَائِدِهِ وَأَرْوِقَتِهِ وَالْكُوَى الَّتِي عَلَى مُحِيطِهِ. أَمَّا طُولُهُ فَكَانَ خَمْسِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِتْراً)، وَعَرْضُهُ خَمْساً وَعِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ مِتْراً وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ).

37 And its porch faced the outer court; and palm trees were on its jambs, on either side, and its stairway had eight steps.

٣٧ وَكَانَتْ أَرْوِقَتُهُ الْمُقَبَّبَةُ مُوَاجِهَةً لِلسَّاحَةِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ، وَقَدْ نُقِشَتْ عَلَى عَضَائِدِهَا أَشْجَارُ نَخِيلٍ، وَلَهُ ثَمَانِي دَرَجَاتٍ تُفْضِي إِلَيْهِ.

38 And a chamber with its door was by the porch of the gate; there they washed the burnt offering.

٣٨ وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ مُخْدَعٌ مُلْحَقٌ بِهِ مَعَ بَابِهِ، مُجَاوِرٌ لِعَضَائِدِ الأَبْوَابِ، حَيْثُ كَانَتْ تُغْسَلُ ذَبِيحَةُ الْمُحْرَقَةِ.

39 And in the porch of the gate were two tables on either side, and two tables on that side, on which to slaughter the burnt offering and the sin offering and guilt offering.

٣٩ وَكَانَ عَلَى كُلِّ جَانِبٍ مِنْ جَانِبَيِ الرُّوَاقِ مَائِدَتَانِ تُذْبَحُ عَلَيْهِمَا الْمُحْرَقَةُ وَذَبِيحَةُ الْخَطِيئَةِ وَذَبِيحَةُ الإِثْمِ،

40 On the one side outside, as one goes up to the entrance of the north gate, were two tables; and on the other side of the porch of the gate were two tables.

٤٠ كَمَا كَانَ فِي الْجَانِبِ الْخَارِجِيِّ عِنْدَ الدَّرَجَاتِ الْمُفْضِيَةِ إِلَى بَابِ الشِّمَالِ مَائِدَتَانِ، وَفِي الْجَانِبِ الآخَرِ عِنْدَ رُوَاقِ الْبَابِ مَائِدَتَانِ أُخْرَيَانِ،

41 Four tables were on either side of the gate, eight tables on which they slaughtered the sacrifices.

٤١ أَيْ أَرْبَعُ مَوَائِدَ فِي كُلِّ جَانِبٍ. فَتَكُونُ فِي جُمْلَتِهَا ثَمَانِي مَوَائِدَ تُذْبَحُ عَلَيْهَا الْقَرَابِينُ.

42 There were four tables of carved stone for the burnt offering, two feet seven inches long, and two feet seven inches broad, and twenty-one inches high; on which they laid the instruments with which they slaughtered the burnt offering and the sacrifice.

٤٢ وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ أَيْضاً أَرْبَعُ مَوَائِدَ أُخْرَى مُرَبَّعَةِ الشَّكْلِ، مَصْنُوعَةٍ مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ مَنْحُوتَةٍ، طُولُ وَعَرْضُ كُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهَا ذِرَاعٌ وَنِصْفٌ (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَسَبْعِينَ سَنْتِيمِتْراً) وَارْتِفَاعُهَا ذِرَاعٌ وَاحِدَةٌ (نَحْوَ خَمْسِينَ سَنْتِيمِتْراً) كَانُوا يَضَعُونَ عَلَيْهَا الأَدَوَاتِ الْمُسْتَخْدَمَةَ فِي ذَبْحِ الْمُحْرَقَاتِ وَسَائِرِ الذَّبَائِحِ.

43 The hooks, three inches long, were fastened all around within, and on the tables was the flesh of the offering.

٤٣ وَلَهَا كَلَّابَاتٌ مُزْدَوَجَةٌ طُولُهَا شِبْرٌ مَعْقُوفَةٌ مُثَبَّتَةٌ حَوْلَ مُحِيطِهَا. وَكَانَ عَلَى الْمَوَائِدِ لَحْمُ الْقَرَابِينِ.

44 And from the outside of the inner gate were two chambers in the inner court, one which was at the side of the north gate facing toward the south; and one at the side of the south gate facing toward the north.

٤٤ وَأُقِيمَ خَارِجَ الْبَابِ الدَّاخِلِيِّ مُخْدَعَانِ فِي السَّاحَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ، أَحَدُهُمَا مُجَاوِرٌ لِبَابِ الشِّمَالِ بِاتِّجَاهِ الْجَنُوبِ، وَالآخَرُ مُجَاوِرٌ لِلْبَابِ الْجَنُوبِيِّ بِاتِّجَاهِ الشِّمَالِ.

45 He said to me, "This room that faces toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the duty of the house;

٤٥ وَقَالَ لِي الْمَلاكُ: «هَذَا الْمُخْدَعُ الْمُتَّجِهُ نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ هُوَ لِلْكَهَنَةِ الَّذِينَ يَحْرُسُونَ الْهَيْكَلَ.

46 and the room that faces toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the duty of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok, who from among the sons of Levi come near to Jehovah to minister to him."

٤٦ وَالْمُخْدَعُ الْمُتَّجِهُ نَحْوَ الشِّمَالِ هُوَ لِلْكَهَنَةِ الَّذِينَ يَحْرُسُونَ الْمَذْبَحَ، وَهُمْ أَبْنَاءُ صَادُوقَ، الَّذِينَ وَحْدَهُمْ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ لاوِي يَحِقُّ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَقْتَرِبُوا مِنَ الرَّبِّ لِيَخْدِمُوهُ».

47 He measured the court, one hundred seventy-two feet three inches long, and one hundred seventy-two feet three inches broad, a square; and the altar was in front of the house.

٤٧ ثُمَّ قَاسَ السَّاحَةَ فَكَانَتْ مُرَبَّعَةً طُولُهَا وَعَرْضُهَا مِئَةُ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسِينَ مِتْراً) وَالْمَذْبَحُ قَائِمٌ أَمَامَ الْهَيْكَلِ.

48 Then he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured the jambs of the porch, eight feet seven inches on each side. And the breadth of the gate was twenty-four feet one inch, and the sides of the gate were five feet two inches on each side.

٤٨ وَأَحْضَرَنِي إِلَى رُوَاقِ الْهَيْكَلِ وَقَاسَ سُمْكَ عَضَادَتَيْهِ مِنْ كُلٍّ مِنْ جَانِبَيْهِ، فَكَانَ خَمْسَ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ) لِكُلِّ عَضَادَةٍ وَعَرْضُ الْبَابِ ثَلاثَ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)

49 The length of the porch was thirty-four feet five inches, and the breadth twenty feet eight inches. And they went up to it by ten steps; and there were pillars by the jambs on either side.

٤٩ وَكَانَ طُولُ الرُّوَاقِ عِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ عَشَرَةِ أَمْتَارٍ) وَعَرْضُهُ إِحْدَى عَشَرَةَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ أَمْتَارٍ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ) عِنْدَ الدَّرَجَاتِ الَّتِي تُؤَدِّي إِلَيْهِ، كَمَا نُصِبَ عِنْدَ الْعَضَائِدِ عَمُودَانِ وَاحِدٌ عَنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ.
