< Ezekiel 42 >

1 Then he took me forth unto the outer court, the way toward the north, —and brought me unto the chamber which was over against the secluded place and which was over against the enclosing-wall, towards the north.
彼はわたしを北の方の内庭に連れ出し、庭に向かった北の方の建物に対する室に導いた。
2 Facing the length of the hundred cubits, was the entrance of the north, —and the breadth was fifty cubits:
北側にある建物の長さは百キュビト、幅は五十キュビトである。
3 over against the twenty which pertained to the inner court, and over against the pavement which pertained to the outer court, was gallery facing gallery, by the thirties;
二十キュビトの内庭に続いて、外庭の敷石に面し、三階になった廊下があった。
4 and before the chambers, was a walk ten cubits in breadth inward, a way of one cubit, —and their entrances were to the north.
また室の前に幅十キュビト、長さ百キュビトの通路があった。その戸は北に向かっていた。
5 Now, the highest chambers, were shortened, —because the galleries took away therefrom more than from the lowest or from the middle in structure.
その建物の上の室は、下の室と中の室よりも狭かった。それは廊下のために、場所を取ったためである。
6 For three stories, they were; and had not pillars like the pillars of the courts; for this cause, it differed from the lowest and from the middle, from the ground.
これらは三階であって、外庭の柱のような柱は持たなかった。それで上の室は、下および中の室よりも狭いのである。
7 And as for the wall that was without. answering to the chambers, toward the outer court facing the chambers, the length thereof was fifty cubits.
室の外に沿ってかきがあり、それは他の室に向かって外庭に至る。その長さは五十キュビト、
8 For the length of the chambers which pertained to the outer court was fifty cubits, —and lo! in front of the temple a hundred cubits,
外庭の室の長さも五十キュビトあった。宮に面する所は百キュビトであった。
9 And from under these chambers, was the entry from the east when one goeth in by them from the outer court.
これらの室の下に外庭からこれにはいるように、東側に入口があった。
10 In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east facing the secluded place and facing the enclosing wall, were chambers.
外側のかきは、外庭に始まっている。南の方で、庭と建物との前に、室があった。
11 And the way before them was like the appearance of the chambers which were toward the north, as was their length, so, was their breadth, —and all their exits were both according to their regulations, and according to their entrances.
北向きの室と同様に、その前に通路があり、その長さも幅も同様で、その出口もその配置もその戸も同様である。
12 And according to the entrances of the chambers which were toward the south, was the entrance at the head of the way—the way in the face of the covered wall, the way toward the east in entering them.
南の室の下に、人々が通路にはいる東の入口があり、これに対して隔てのかきがあった。
13 Then said he unto me, The chambers of the north the chambers of the south which face the secluded place, they are the holy chambers where the priests who draw near to Yahweh shall eat the most holy things; there, shall they lay the most holy things, and the meal offering and the sin-bearer and the guilt bearer, for the place is holy!
時に彼はわたしに言った、「庭に面した北の室と、南の室とは、聖なる室であって、主に近く仕える祭司たちが、最も聖なるものを食べる場所である。その場所に彼らは、最も聖なるもの、すなわち素祭、罪祭、愆祭のものを置かなければならない。その場所は聖だからである。
14 When the priests enter them, then shall they not go forth out of the holy place into the outer court, but there, shall they lay their garments wherein they minister for holy they are, and shall put on other garments, and so draw near unto that which pertaineth to the people.
祭司たちが、聖所にはいった時は、そこから外庭に出てはならない。彼らは勤めを行う衣服を、その所に置かなければならない。これは聖だからである。彼らは民衆に属する場所に近づく前に、他の衣服を着けなければならない」。
15 And when he had ended the measurings of the inner house, then he brought me forth by way of the gate which looked toward the east, — and measured it round about on every side.
彼らは宮の庭の内部を測り終えると、東向きの門の道から、わたしを連れ出して、宮の周囲を測った。
16 He measured the east side with the measuring reed, —five hundred reeds by the measuring reed round about,
彼が測りざおで、東側を測ると、測りざおで五百キュビトあり、
17 He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, by the measuring reed round about.
また転じて、北側を測ると、測りざおで五百キュビトあり、
18 The south side, measured he, —five hundred reeds, by the measuring reed.
また転じて、南側を測ると、測りざおで五百キュビトあり、
19 He turned about to the west side, —he measured five hundred reeds, by the measuring reed.
また転じて、西側を測ると、測りざおで五百キュビトあった。
20 Toward the four winds, measured he it a wall, had it round about on every side, in length, five hundred, and in breadth five hundred, —to make a separation, between the holy and the common.
このように、四方を測ったが、その周囲に、長さ五百キュビト、幅五百キュビトのかきがあって、聖所と、俗の所との隔てをなしていた。
