< Ezekiel 40 >

1 In the twenty-fifth year of our exile at the beginning of the year. on the tenth of the month in the fourteenth year, after the city was smitten, on this selfsame day, came upon me the hand of Yahweh, and he brought me thither:
In vigesimo quinto anno transmigrationis nostræ, in exordio anni, decima mensis, quartodecimo anno postquam percussa est civitas: in ipsa hac die facta est super me manus Domini, et adduxit me illuc.
2 In the visions of God, he brought me into the land of Israel, —and set me down upon an exceeding high mountain, and thereupon, was, as it were the structure of a city, on the south.
In visionibus Dei adduxit me in terram Israel, et dimisit me super montem excelsum nimis: super quem erat quasi ædificium civitatis vergentis ad Austrum.
3 And when he brought me thither, then lo! a man whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze, with a flax-cord in his hand and measuring reed, —and he was standing in the gate.
Et introduxit me illuc: et ecce vir, cuius erat species quasi species æris, et funiculus lineus in manu eius, et calamus mensuræ in manu eius: stabat autem in porta.
4 And the man spake unto me, saying. Son of man See with thine eyes And with thine ears, hear thou And apply thy heart to whatsoever I am about to show thee, For to the intent it might be shown thee, hast thou been brought hither, - Declare all that thou seest unto the house of Israel.
Et locutus est ad me idem vir: Fili hominis vide oculis tuis, et auribus tuis audi, et pone cor tuum in omnia, quæ ego ostendam tibi: quia ut ostendantur tibi adductus es huc: annuncia omnia, quæ tu vides, domui Israel.
5 And lo a wall on the outside of the house round about on every side, —and in the hand of the man, was the measuring reed six cubits by the cubit, and a handbreadth, so he measured the breadth of the enclosing-wall, one reed, and the height one reed.
Et ecce murus forinsecus in circuitu domus undique, et in manu viri calamus mensuræ sex cubitorum, et palmo: et mensus est latitudinem ædificii calamo uno, altitudinem quoque calamo uno.
6 Then came he unto the gate that looked toward the east, and went up by the steps thereof, —and measured the threshold of the gate one reed broad, and the other threshold one reed broad.
Et venit ad portam quæ respiciebat viam orientalem, et ascendit per gradus eius: et mensus est limen portæ calamo uno latitudinem, id est, limen unum calamo uno in latitudine:
7 And the lodge was one reed long, and one reed broad, and between the lodges, was a space of five cubits, —and the threshold of the gate from beside the porch of the gate inwards, was one reed.
et thalamum uno calamo in longum, et uno calamo in latum: et inter thalamos, quinque cubitos:
8 Then measured he the porch of the gate inwards, one reed.
et limen portæ iuxta vestibulum portæ intrinsecus, calamo uno.
9 Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits, and the projections thereof two cubits, —and the porch of the gate was within,
Et mensus est vestibulum portæ octo cubitorum, et frontem eius duobus cubitis: vestibulum autem portæ erat intrinsecus.
10 And, the lodges of the gate that was towards the east, were three on this side and three on that side, one measure, had they three, —and one measure, had the projections on this side and on that side.
Porro thalami portæ ad viam Orientalem, tres hinc et tres inde: mensura una trium, et mensura una frontium ex utraque parte.
11 Then measured he the breadth of the entrance of the gate, ten cubits—the length of the gate, thirteen cubits,
Et mensus est latitudinem liminis portæ, decem cubitorum: et longitudinem portæ, tredecim cubitorum:
12 And the space before the lodges was one cubit, and one cubit, the space on that side; and the lodge itself was six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.
Et marginem ante thalamos cubiti unius: et cubitus unus finis utrimque: thalami autem, sex cubitorum erant hinc et inde.
13 Then measured he the gate, from the roof of this lodge to the roof of that, a breadth of twenty-five cubits, —entrance over against entrance.
Et mensus est portam a tecto thalami, usque ad tectum eius, latitudinem vigintiquinque cubitorum: ostium contra ostium.
14 Then measured he the porch, twenty cubits, —even unto the projection of the court, the lodges of the gate round about on every side;
Et fecit frontes per sexaginta cubitos: et ad frontem atrium portæ undique per circuitum.
15 and, from the face of the gate outwards, unto the face of the porch of the inner gate, was fifty cubits.
Et ante faciem portæ, quæ pertingebat usque ad faciem vestibuli portæ interioris, quinquaginta cubitos.
16 And latticed windows had the lodges, even towards their projections within the gate round about on every side, and, so, had the recesses, —and windows round about on every side inwards, and against each projection, palm trees.
Et fenestras obliquas in thalamis, et in frontibus eorum, quæ erant intra portam undique per circuitum: similiter autem erant et in vestibulis fenestræ per gyrum intrinsecus, et ante frontes pictura palmarum.
17 Then he brought me into the outer court, and lo! chambers and a tesselated pavement, made to the court round about on every side, —thirty chambers against the pavement,
Et eduxit me ad atrium exterius, et ecce gazophylacia, et pavimentum stratum lapide in atrio per circuitum: triginta gazophylacia in circuitu pavimenti.
18 And the pavement, was against the side of the gates, answering to the length of the gates, —the lower pavement,
Et pavimentum in fronte portarum secundum longitudinem portarum erat inferius.
19 Then measured he the breadth, from the front of the lower gate, to the front of the inner court on the outside one hundred cubits, —to the east and the north.
Et mensus est latitudinem a facie portæ inferioris usque ad frontem atrii interioris extrinsecus, centum cubitos ad Orientem, et ad Aquilonem.
20 And as for the gate which looked towards the north, pertaining to the outer court, he measured the length thereof, and the breadth thereof.
Portam quoque, quæ respiciebat viam Aquilonis atrii exterioris, mensus est tam in longitudine, quam in latitudine.
21 And the lodges thereof were three on this side and three on that side, and the projections thereof and the recesses thereof were according to the measure of the first gate, fifty cubits the length thereof, and, the breadth, twenty-five, by the cubit.
Et thalamos eius tres hinc, et tres inde: et frontem eius, et vestibulum eius secundum mensuram portæ prioris, quinquaginta cubitorum longitudinem eius, et latitudinem viginti quinque cubitorum.
22 And the windows thereof and the recesses thereof and the palm-trees thereof were according to the measure of the gate that looked toward the east, —and by seven steps, they ascend it, and their recesses were within,
Fenestræ autem eius, et vestibulum, et sculpturæ secundum mensuram portæ, quæ respiciebat ad Orientem: et septem graduum erat ascensus eius, et vestibulum ante eam.
23 And the gate to the inner court, was over against the gate, to the north and to the east, —so he measured from gate to gate. one hundred cubits.
Et porta atrii interioris contra portam Aquilonis, et Orientalem: et mensus est a porta usque ad portam centum cubitos.
24 Then he took me toward the south, and lo! a gate, toward the south, —and he measured the projections thereof and the recesses thereof, according to these measures.
Et eduxit me ad viam australem, et ecce porta, quæ respiciebat ad Austrum: et mensus est frontem eius, et vestibulum eius iuxta mensuras superiores.
25 And windows were there to it, and the recesses thereof round about on all sides, like these windows, —fifty cubits in length, and in breadth, five-and-twenty cubits.
Et fenestras eius, et vestibula in circuitu, sicut fenestras ceteras: quinquaginta cubitorum longitudine, et latitudine vigintiquinque cubitorum.
26 And seven steps the ascents thereof, with its recesses within, —and it had palm trees one on this side and one on that side against the projections thereof.
Et in gradibus septem ascendebatur ad eam: et vestibulum ante fores eius: et cælatæ palmæ erant, una hinc, et altera inde in fronte eius.
27 And a gate, had the inner court towards the south, —so he measured from gate to gate toward the south, a hundred cubits.
Et porta atrii interioris in via australi: et mensus est a porta usque ad portam in via australi, centum cubitos.
28 Yea when he brought me to the inner court through the south gate, then measured he the south gate, according to these measures;
Et introduxit me in atrium interius ad portam australem: et mensus est portam iuxta mensuras superiores.
29 and the lodges thereof and the projections thereof and the recesses, thereof, were according to these measures, and windows, were there to it, and to the recesses thereof round about on every side, —fifty cubits in length, and in breadth, twenty and five cubits;
Thalamum eius, et frontem eius, et vestibulum eius eisdem mensuris: et fenestras eius, et vestibulum eius in circuitu quinquaginta cubitos longitudinis, et latitudinis vigintiquinque cubitos.
30 and there were recesses round about on every side; —in length, five and twenty cubits, and in breadth, five cubits;
Et vestibulum per gyrum longitudine vigintiquinque cubitorum, et latitudine quinque cubitorum.
31 and the recesses thereof reached unto the outer court, with palm-trees, against the projections thereof, and eight steps were the ascents thereof.
Et vestibulum eius ad atrium exterius, et palmas eius in fronte: et octo gradus erant, quibus ascendebatur per eam.
32 And when he brought me unto the inner court toward the east, then measured he the gate, according to these measures;
Et introduxit me in atrium interius per viam orientalem: et mensus est portam secundum mensuras superiores.
33 and the lodges thereof and the projections thereof and the recesses thereof, according to these measures, and windows were there to it and to the recesses thereof, round about on every side, —in length fifty cubits, and in breadth, five and twenty cubits;
Thalamum eius, et frontem eius, et vestibulum eius sicut supra: et fenestras eius, et vestibula eius in circuitu, longitudine quinquaginta cubitorum, et latitudine vigintiquinque cubitorum.
34 and the recesses thereof reached to the outer court, with palm-trees, against the projections thereof, on this side and on that side, —and eight steps, were the ascents thereof.
Et vestibulum eius, id est atrii exterioris: et palmæ cælatæ in fronte eius hinc et inde: et in octo gradibus ascensus eius.
35 And when he brought me to the north gate, then measured he according to these measures:
Et introduxit me ad portam, quæ respiciebat ad Aquilonem: et mensus est secundum mensuras superiores.
36 the lodges thereof the projections thereof and the recesses thereof, with, windows, to it round about on every side, —in length, fifty cubits, and, in breadth, five and twenty cubits;
Thalamum eius, et frontem eius, et vestibulum eius, et fenestras eius per circuitum, longitudine quinquaginta cubitorum, et latitudine vigintiquinque cubitorum.
37 and, the recesses thereof, [reached] unto the outer court, with, palm-trees, against the projections thereof on this side and on that side, —and, eight steps, were the ascents thereof.
Et vestibulum eius respiciebat ad atrium exterius: et cælatura palmarum in fronte eius hinc et inde: et in octo gradibus ascensus eius.
38 And there was a chamber with its entrance, within the projections at the gates, — there, shall they rinse the ascending-sacrifice,
Et per singula gazophylacia ostium in frontibus portarum: ibi lavabant holocaustum.
39 And in the porch of the gate, were two tables on this side, and two tables, on that side, —to slay thereon the ascending-sacrifice, and the sin-bearer, and the guilt-bearer.
Et in vestibulo portæ, duæ mensæ hinc, et duæ mensæ inde: ut immoletur super eas holocaustum, et pro peccato, et pro delicto.
40 And at the side without, in ascending to the entrance of the north gate, were two tables, —and at the other side which pertaineth to the porch of the gate, were two tables.
Et ad latus exterius, quod ascendit ad ostium portæ, quæ pergit ad Aquilonem, duæ mensæ: et ad latus alterum ante vestibulum portæ, duæ mensæ.
41 Four tables on this side and four tables on that side by the side of the gate, -eight tables whereupon they shall slay.
Quattuor mensæ hinc, et quattuor mensæ inde: per latera portæ octo mensæ erant, super quas immolabant.
42 And the four tables for the ascending-offering: were of hewn stone. in length, one cubit and a half, and in breadth, one cubit and a half, and in height, one cubit, —that thereon, they may lay the instruments wherewith they shall slay the ascending-offering and the sacrifice.
Quattuor autem mensæ ad holocaustum, de lapidibus quadris extructæ: longitudine cubiti unius et dimidii: et latitudine cubiti unius et dimidii: et altitudine cubiti unius: super quas ponant vasa, in quibus immolatur holocaustum, et victima.
43 And there were hooks of three hand-breadth fastened within round about on every side, —and upon the tables, the flesh of the offering.
Et labia earum palmi unius, reflexa intrinsecus per circuitum: super mensas autem carnes oblationis.
44 And on the outside of the inner gate, were the chambers of the singers in the inner court which was at the side of the north gate, and their front was toward the south, —one, at the side of the south gate, fronting, toward the north.
Et extra portam interiorem gazophylacia cantorum in atrio interiori, quod erat in latere portæ respicientis ad Aquilonem: et facies eorum contra viam Australem, una ex latere portæ Orientalis, quæ respiciebat ad viam Aquilonis.
45 Then spake he unto me saying, This chamber whose front is toward the south, is for the priests keeping the charge of the house;
Et dixit ad me: Hoc est gazophylacium, quod respicit viam Meridianam, sacerdotum erit, qui excubant in custodiis templi.
46 and the chamber whose front is towards the north is for the priests keeping the charge of the altar, -the same are the sons of Zadok—who draw near from among the sons of Levi unto Yahweh. to wait upon him.
Porro gazophylacium, quod respicit ad viam Aquilonis, sacerdotum erit, qui excubant ad ministerium altaris. isti sunt filii Sadoc, qui accedunt de filiis Levi ad Dominum ut ministrent ei.
47 Then measured he the court, the length, a hundred cubits, and the breadth, a hundred cubits foursquare, —with the altar before the house.
Et mensus est atrium longitudine centum cubitorum, et latitudine centum cubitorum per quadrum: et altare ante faciem templi.
48 And when he brought me unto the porch of the house, then measured he the projection of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side, —and the breadth of the gate, was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side:
Et introduxit me in vestibulum templi: et mensus est vestibulum quinque cubitis hinc, et quinque cubitis inde: et latitudinem portæ trium cubitorum hinc, et trium cubitorum inde.
49 the length of the porch was twenty cubits and the breadth twelve cubits, and by ten steps they ascend into it, - and there were pillars against the projections, one on this side, and one on that side.
Longitudinem autem vestibuli viginti cubitorum, et latitudinem undecim cubitorum, et octo gradibus ascendebatur ad eam. Et columnæ erant in frontibus: una hinc, et altera inde.
