< Ezekiel 46 >

1 Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, the gate of the inner court which looketh toward the east shall be shut, the six days of work, —but on the sabbath-day, shall it be opened, and on the day of the new moon, shall it be opened.
The Lord God seith these thingis, The yate of the ynnere halle, that biholdith to the eest, schal be closid bi sixe daies, in whiche werk is doon; for it schal be openid in the dai of sabat, but also it schal be openyd in the dai of kalendis.
2 The prince therefore shall enter by way of the porch of the gate without and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall offer his ascending-sacrifice and his peace offerings, and he shall bow down upon the threshold of the gate and then go forth, but the gate shall not be shut until the evening;
And the prince schal entre bi the weie of the porche of the yate withoutforth, and he schal stonde in the threisfold of the yate; and preestis schulen make the brent sacrifice of hym, and the pesible sacrifices of hym; and he schal worschipe on the threisfold of the yate, and he schal go out; forsothe the yate schal not be closid til to the euentid.
3 and the people of the land, shall bow down, at the entrance of that gate on the sabbaths and at the new moons, —before Yahweh.
And the puple of the lond schal worschipe at the dore of that yate, in sabatis, and in calendis, bifor the Lord.
4 And, the ascending-sacrifice which the prince shall bring near unto Yahweh, [shall be] on the sabbath day, six he-lambs without defect and a ram without defect;
Forsothe the prince schal offre this brent sacrifice to the Lord in the dai of sabat, sixe lambren with out wem, and a wether with out wem,
5 and the meal-offering shall be an ephah to a ram, and to the he-lambs, the meal-offering shall be as one is able to give, — and of, a hin to an ephah.
and the sacrifice of ephi bi a wether; but in the lambren he schal offre the sacrifice which his hond schal yiue, and of oile the mesure hyn, bi ech ephi.
6 But on the day of the new moon, a young bullock without defect, —and six he-lambs and a ram without defect, shall they be;
But in the dai of calendis he schal offre a calf with out wem of the droue; and sixe lambren, and wetheris schulen be with out wem,
7 and an ephah to a bullock, and an ephah to a ram, shall he offer as a meal-offering, and for the he-lambs, just as his hand shall attain unto, —and of oil a hin to an ephah.
and ephi bi a calf. Also he schal make the sacrifice ephi bi a wether; but of lambren as his hond fyndith, and of oile the mesure hyn, bi ech ephi.
8 And when the prince shall enter, by way of the porch of the gate, shall he go in, and by way thereof, shall he go out.
And whanne the prince schal entre, entre he bi the weie of the porche of the yate, and go he out bi the same weie.
9 But when the people of the land shall enter before Yahweh on the appointed feasts, he that entereth by way of the north gate to bow down shall go forth by way of the south gate, and he that entereth by way of the south gate shall go forth by way of the north gate, —he shall not return by way of the gate by which he entered, but straight-forward, shall he go forth.
And whanne the puple of the lond schal entre in the siyt of the Lord, in solempnytees, which puple entrith bi the yate of the north, for to worschipe, go it out bi the wei of the south yate. Certis the puple that entrith bi the weie of the south yate, go out bi the weie of the north yate. It schal not turne ayen bi the weie of the yate, bi which it entride, but euene ayens that weie it schal go out.
10 But as for the prince in their midst when they enter, shall he enter, and when they go forth, shall he go forth,
Forsothe the prince schal be in the myddis of hem; he schal entre with hem that entren, and he schal go out with hem that goen out.
11 And in the festivals and in the appointed feasts, the meal-offering! shall be an ephah to a bullock, and an ephah to a ram, but to the he-lambs, as one is able to give, —and of oil a hin to an ephah.
And in feiris and in solempnytees, the sacrifice of ephi schal be bi a calf, and ephi bi a wether; in lambren schal be sacrifice as his hond fyndith, and of oile the mesure hyn, bi ech ephi.
12 And, when the prince would offer as a freewill offering an ascending-sacrifice or peace-offerings as a free-will offering to Yahweh, then shall be opened to him the gate that looketh to the east, and he shall offer his ascending-sacrifice and his peace-offerings just as he would offer on the sabbath day, - and, when he shall go forth, then shall one shut the gate after he hath gone forth.
Forsothe whanne the prince makith a wilful brent sacrifice, ether wilful pesible sacrifice to the Lord, the yate that biholdith to the eest, schal be openyd to hym; and he schal make his brent sacrifice, and hise pesible sacrifices, as it is wont to be doon in the dai of sabat; and he schal go out, and the yate schal be closid after that he yede out.
13 And, a he-lamb of the first year without defect, shalt thou offer as an ascending-sacrifice daily unto Yahweh, — morning by morning shalt thou offer it.
And he schal make brent sacrifice ech day to the Lord, a lomb with out wem of the same yeer; euere he schal make it in the morewtid,
14 And, a meal-offering, shalt thou offer thereupon morning by morning, of the sixth of an ephah and, of oil, the third part of an hin to moisten the fine meal, —a meal-offering to Yahweh, age-abiding statutes continually.
and he schal make sacrifice on it ful eerli; eerli he schal make the sixte part of ephi, and of oile the thridde part of hyn, that it be meddlid with the floure of wheete; it is a lawful sacrifice, contynuel and euerlastinge, to the Lord.
15 Thus shall they offer the he-lamb and the meal-offering and the oil morning by morning, —a continual ascending-sacrifice.
He schal make a lomb, and sacrifice, and oile, ful eerli; he schal make eerli brent sacrifice euerlastynge.
16 Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, When the prince would bestow a gift upon any one of his sons, his own inheritance, shall it be, for his sons, shall it remain, — their possession, shall it be by way of inheritance.
The Lord God seith these thingis, If the prince yyueth an hous to ony of hise sones, the eritage of hym schal be of hise sones; thei schulen welde it bi eritage.
17 But when he would bestow a gift out of his inheritance on any one of his servants, it shall remain his unto the year of liberation, then shall it return to the prince, —surely it is the inheritance of his sons, theirs, shall it remain.
Forsothe if he yyueth a biquest of his eritage to oon of hise seruauntis, it schal be his `til to the yeer of remyssioun, and it schal turne ayen to the prince; forsothe the eritage of hym schal be to hise sones.
18 So then the prince shall not take of the inheritance of the people to oppress them out of their possession, out of his own possession, shall he give an inheritance to his sons, —to the end that my people be not scattered, any one out of his possession.
And the prince schal not take bi violence of the eritage of the puple, and of the possessioun of hem; but of his owne possessioun he schal yyue eritage to hise sones, that my puple be not scaterid, ech man fro his possessioun.
19 Then he brought me in through the entrance which was by the side of the gate, into the chambers of the holy place for the priests, those facing the north, —and lo! there a place, in the hinder parts westwards.
And he ledde me in bi the entryng, that was on the side of the yate, in to the treseries of the seyntuarie to the preestis, whiche treseries bihelden to the north; and there was a place goynge to the west.
20 Then said he unto me, — This, is the place where the priests, shall boil, the guilt-bearer and the sin-bearer, —where they shall bake the meal-offering, that one may not carry them forth into the outer court to hallow the people,
And he seide to me, This is the place where prestis schulen sethe, bothe for synne and for trespas; where thei schulen sethe sacrifice, that thei bere not out in to the outermere halle, and the puple be halewid.
21 So he caused me to go out into the outer court, and then made me pass through into the four corners of the court, —and lo! a court in each corner of the court:
And he ledde me out in to the outermere halle, and ledde me aboute bi the foure corneris of the halle; and lo! a litil halle was in the corner of the halle, alle litil hallis bi the corneris of the halle;
22 in the four corners of the court, were courts covered over, forty long and thirty broad: of one measure, were those four.
in foure corneris of the halle litle hallis weren disposid, of fourti cubitis bi lengthe, and of thretti bi breede;
23 And there was an enclosure round about in them round about to those four, —and boiling places had been made under the enclosures round about.
foure weren of o mesure; and a wal bi cumpas yede aboute foure litle hallis; and kychenes weren maad vndur the porchis bi cumpas.
24 And he said unto me, — these, are the places of them who boil where they who wait upon the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.
And he seide to me, This is the hous of kichenes, in which the mynystris of the hous of the Lord schulen sethe the sacrifices of the puple.
