Ezekiel 40
1 Almost 25 years after we had been [to Babylonia], on the tenth day of the first month of that year, almost 14years after Jerusalem had been destroyed, in a vision [I felt] the power [MTY] of Yahweh on me, and he took me to Israel.
I det fem og tyvende Aar efter at vi var ført i Landflygtighed, ved Nytaarstide, paa den tiende Dag i Maaneden i det fjortende Aar efter Byens indtagelse, netop paa den Dag kom HERRENS Haand over mig, og han førte mig
2 He set me on a very high mountain. On the south side of that mountain there were some buildings that appeared to be [part of] a city.
i Guds Syner til Israels Land og satte mig paa et saare højt Bjerg, og paa det var der bygget noget som en By mod Syd;
3 When he took there, I saw a man whose face was like [SIM] bronze. He was standing in the entrance [of a building]. He had a linen cord and a measuring stick in his hand.
og da han havde ført mig derhen, se, da var der en Mand som Kobber at se til med en Hørgarnssnor og en Maalestang i Haanden, og han stod ved Porten.
4 He said to me, “You human, look carefully at everything that I am going to show you, and pay attention to everything that I say and everything that I will show you, because that is why you have been brought here. [And then later] you must tell the Israeli people everything that you have seen [here].”
Manden sagde til mig: »Menneskesøn, se med dine Øjne, hør med dine Ører og læg vel Mærke til alt, hvad jeg viser dig; thi du er ført hid, for at jeg skal vise dig det. Kundgør Israels Hus alt, hvad du ser!«
5 [In the vision I saw that] there was a wall that completely surrounded the temple area. The measuring stick in the man’s hand was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) long. He measured the wall: It was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) thick and (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) high.
Og se, der var en Mur uden om Templet til alle Sider. Manden holdt i Haanden en Maalestang, som var seks Alen lang, en Alen en Haandsbred længere end sædvanlig, og han maalte Muren; den var eet Maal bred og eet Maal høj.
6 Then he went to the entryway on the east [side of the temple]. He climbed the steps and measured the outer threshold/opening for the entryway: It was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) deep.
Saa gik han op ad syv Trappetrin ind i den Port, hvis Forside vendte mod Øst; og han maalte Portens Tærskel til eet Maal i Bredden,
7 Next, there was an entry hallway with [three] (alcoves/very small rooms) along each side [where the guards stood]. Each of the alcoves was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) on each side. There was a dividing wall between each alcove that was (8-3/4 feet/2.7 meters) wide. At the end of the entry hallway was the inner threshold/opening for the entryway, (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) deep. It led to the entry room [to the inner courtyard] and faced the temple.
hvert af Portens Siderum ligeledes til eet Maal i Længden og eet i Bredden, Murpillerne mellem Siderummene til fem Alen og Tærskelen ved Portens Forhal paa den Side,
8 Then he measured the entry room at the end of the entry hallway.
der vendte indad i Porten, til eet Maal.
9 It was about (14 feet/4.2 meters) long, and its supporting columns were (3-1/2 feet/1.1 meters) thick. The entry room of the entryway was at the end of the entry hallway that faced the temple [and extended into the courtyard].
Og han maalte Portens Forhal til otte Alen og dens Murpiller til to; Portens Forhal laa paa indersiden.
10 Inside the east entryway there were three alcoves on each side of the entry hallway. They each had the same length and width. And the measurements of the walls that divided the alcoves were all identical.
Portens Siderum, tre paa hver Side, laa over for hverandre; de var lige store alle tre; ogsaa Murpillerne paa begge Sider var lige store.
11 Then he measured the threshold/opening for the entryway: It was (17-1/2 feet/5.3 meters) wide, and the entry hallway [between the alcoves] was (22-3/4 feet/6.9 meters) wide.
Saa maalte han Portindgangens Bredde til ti Alen og Portgangens til tretten.
12 In front of each alcove was a low wall about (21 inches/53 cm.) high, and the alcoves were (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) on each side.
Foran Siderummene var der paa begge Sider afspærrede Pladser paa een Alen, og selve Siderummene paa begge Sider var seks Alen.
13 Then he measured the width of the roof of the entrance hallway, the distance between the rear wall of one alcove to the rear wall of the opposite alcove, [including the supporting walls along each side]. It was (43-3/4 feet/13.3 meters).
Saa maalte han Porten fra Indervæggen i et Siderum til Indervæggen i Siderummet lige overfor til en Bredde af fem og tyve Alen, Dør over for Dør.
14 Then he measured all along the dividing walls between the alcoves all along the inside of the entry hallway: It was (105 feet/31.8 meters). He measured as far as the entry room of the entryway.
Saa maalte han Forhallen til tyve Alen; og Forgaarden omgav Portens Forhal.
15 The length from [outer] opening of the entryway to the far end of the entry room was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters).
Fra Portens Forside udad til Portforhallens Forside indad var der halvtredsindstyve Alen.
16 There were [small] windows in the outside walls of all the alcoves, and also in the inner dividing walls between the alcoves. There were also small windows in the entry room. The dividing walls were decorated with [carvings of] palm trees.
Porten havde paa begge Sider Gittervinduer, som udvidede sig indad i Siderummene og deres Murpiller; ligeledes havde Forhallen paa alle Sider Vinduer, som udvidede sig indad. Paa Murpillerne til begge Sider var der Palmer.
17 Then [in the vision] he brought me to the outer courtyard. There I saw some rooms, and a stone path/pavement along the walls around the courtyard. There were thirty rooms along the path.
Derpaa førte han mig ind i den ydre Forgaard. Og se, der var Kamre, og Forgaarden rundt var der et stenlagt Stykke; der var tredive Kamre paa Stenlægningen.
18 The stone path was all around the courtyard, and it extended out from the walls into the courtyard for the same distance as the entry room [of the entryway]. That was the lower path.
Det stenlagte Stykke stødte op til Portenes Sidemure, lige saa bredt som Portene var lange; det var den nedre Stenlægning.
19 Then the man measured the distance [across the outer courtyard of the temple], between the inner [entrance of] the entryway and [the wall surrounding the] inner courtyard: It was (175 feet/53 meters) [on the east side and on the north side of the courtyard].
Han maalte Forgaardens Bredde fra den nedre Ports indre Forside til den indre Ports ydre Forside til hundrede Alen. Og han førte mig mod Nord,
20 Then he measured how long and how wide was the entryway that was on the north side, the entrance into the outer courtyard [of the temple].
og se, der var en Port, som vendte mod Nord, i den ydre Forgaard, og han maalte dens Længde og Bredde.
21 There were three alcoves on each side of the entryway hall. The measurements of the alcoves, the dividing walls between the alcoves, and the entry room were the same as as those in the first entryway. The length from [outer] opening of the entryway to the far end of the entry room was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters). The entryway was (43-3/4 feet/13.3 meters) wide.
Den havde tre Siderum til hver Side, og Murpillerne og Forhallen havde samme Maal som i den første Port; den var halvtredsindstyve Alen lang og fem og tyve Alen bred.
22 Its windows and the entry room and the palm tree [decorations all] measured the same as the ones on the east [side]. There were seven steps up to the outer threshold/opening for the entryway, and an entry room was at the other end of the entryway.
Vinduer, Forhal og Palmer havde samme Maal som i den Port, hvis Forside vendte mod Øst; ad syv Trin steg man op dertil, og Forhallen laa inderst inde.
23 There was an entryway to the inner courtyard that faces the north entryway, like there was on the east [side]. The man measured [the distance] from [the north] entryway to the entryway [on the other side]; it was (175 feet/53 meters).
En Port til den indre Forgaard laa over for Nordporten, ligesom Forholdet var ved Østporten; og han maalte fra Port til Port hundrede Alen.
24 Then he brought me through the south entryway [into the outer courtyard], and he measured it. It measured the same as the other entryways. Its alcoves, its dividing walls between the alcoves, and its entry room measured the same as the ones on the other sides.
Saa førte han mig mod Syd og se, der var ogsaa en Port mod Syd, og han maalte dens Murpiller og Forhal; de havde samme Maal som de andre.
25 The alcoves and the entry room had [narrow] windows along the walls, like on the other [sides]. The length [of the outer opening of the] entryway [to the far end of the entry room was] was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) and the entryway was (43-3/4 feet/13.3 meters) wide.
Porten og dens Forhal havde Vinduer af samme Slags som de andre. Den var halvtredsindstyve Alen lang og fem og tyve Alen bred;
26 There were seven steps up to the outer threshold/opening for the entryway, and an entry room was (opposite it/at the end of the entryway facing the courtyard). It [also] had [carvings of] palm trees on the dividing walls that were between the alcoves.
syv Trin førte op til den; Forhallen laa inderst inde, og der var Palmer paa Murpillerne til begge Sider.
27 The inner courtyard also had an entryway on the south [side]. He measured from that entryway to the entrance on the south [side of the outer courtyard; it was also] (175 feet/53 meters).
Endelig var der en Port til den indre Forgaard over for Sydporten: han maalte hundrede Alen fra Port til Port.
28 Then [in the vision] he brought me through the south entryway into the inner courtyard, and he measured the south entryway. It measured the same as the other [entryways].
Derpaa førte han mig til den indre Forgaard gennem Sydporten, og den maalte han; den havde samme Størrelse som de andre,
29 Its alcoves [along the entry hallway], its dividing walls [between the alcoves], and its entry room measured the same as [the ones on] the other [sides]. The alcoves and the entry room had windows. The length [of the outer opening of the] entryway [to the far end of the entry room was] was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) and the entryway was (43-3/4 feet/13.3 meters) wide.
og dens Siderum, Murpiller og Forhal havde samme Størrelse som de andre; Porten og dens Forhal havde Vinduer rundt om. Den var halvtredsindstyve Alen lang og fem og tyve Alen bred.
30 The entry rooms around [the inner courtyard] were (43-3/4 feet/13.3 meters) wide and (8.7 feet/2.6 meters) long.
(Der var Forhaller rundt om, fem og tyve Alen lange og fem Alen brede).
31 The entry room faced the outer courtyard. There were [carvings of] palm trees that decorated the columns, and there were eight steps [up] to the entryway.
Forhallen vendte ud mod den ydre Forgaard med Palmer paa Murpillerne, og otte Trin dannede dens Opgang.
32 Then he led me to the east side of the inner courtyard, and he measured the entrance. It had the same measurements as the other [entrances]
Saa førte han mig til Østporten og maalte denne Port; den havde samme Størrelse som de andre,
33 Its alcoves and dividing walls and entry room measured the same as the others.
og Siderum, Murpiller og Forgaard havde samme Størrelse som de andre; Porten og dens Forhal havde Vinduer rundt om. Den var halvtredsindstyve Alen lang og fem og tyve Alen bred.
34 Its entry room faced the outer courtyard. It also had carvings of palm trees that decorated the walls, and it had eight steps up to it.
Forhallen vendte ud mod den ydre Forgaard med Palmer paa Murpillerne til begge Sider, og otte Trin dannede dens Opgang.
35 Then he led me to the entrance on the north side and measured it. It measured the same as the other entrances.
Saa førte han mig til Nordporten og maalte den; den havde samme Størrelse som de andre,
36 And its alcoves and walls between them and the entry room all had [small] windows in the walls. It was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) long and (43.7 feet/13.3 meters) wide.
ligeledes Siderum, Murpiller og Forhal; Porten og dens Forhal havde Vinduer rundt om. Den var halvtredsindstyve Alen lang og fem og tyve Alen bred.
37 Its entry room faced the outer courtyard. There were [carvings of] palm trees that decorated its walls, and there were eight steps [up] to the entryway.
Forhallen vendte ud mod den ydre Forgaard med Palmer paa Murpillerne til begge Sider, og otte Trin dannede dens Opgang.
38 [In the vision, I saw that] in the inner entry room of the north entryway there was a door to a side room. That side room was where the [carcasses of the] animals that would be burned completely [on the altar] were washed.
Derpaa vendte han sig til det Indre, idet han førte mig til Østporten; der skyllede man Brændofferet.
39 In the entry room, there were two tables on each side [of the room]. On those tables would be slaughtered the animals that would be completely burned, and the animals for offerings for sins that people had committed, and offerings to cause people to longer be guilty for having sinned.
Og i Portens Forhal stod to Borde paa den ene Side og to paa den anden til at slagte Brændofferet, Syndofferet og Skyldofferet paa.
40 Along the outside wall of the entry room, on each side of the steps at the opening to the entryway on the north side, were two tables.
Ogsaa ved det ydre Hjørne, mod Nord naar man steg op i Portindgangen, stod to Borde og ved Portforhallens andet Hjørne andre to,
41 [So] there were four tables outside the entrance and four tables inside the entry room, on which the [animals to be] sacrificed were slaughtered.
fire Borde paa hver Side ved Portens Hjørner, i alt otte. Paa dem slagtede man Slagtofferet.
42 There were also four tables of cut stone for the offerings to be completely burned, (31-1/2 in./80 cm.) on each side and (21 in./53 cm.) high. On those stone tables would be placed the tools for slaughtering all the animals for the sacrifices.
Og til Brændofferet stod der tre Kvaderstensborde, halvanden Alen lange, halvanden Alen brede og en Alen høje; paa dem lagde man de Redskaber, med hvilke man slagtede Brændofferet og Slagtofferet.
43 The meat for the offerings would be placed on [stone] tables. There were hooks [on which the meat was hung], each with two prongs, each (3 in./8 cm.) long, fastened to the walls [of the entry room].
De havde hele Vejen rundt en Rand paa en Haandsbred, der vendte indad; og oven over Bordene var der Tage til Værn mod Regn og Sol. Derpaa førte han mig atter
44 Outside the inner entryway, inside the inner courtyard, were two rooms, one on the north side and one on the south side.
til den indre Forgaard, og se, der var to Kamre, et ved Nordportens Hjørne med Forsiden mod Syd og et andet ved Sydportens Hjørne med Forsiden mod Nord.
45 The man said to me, “The room whose door faces south is for the priests who are in charge of the work in the temple.
Og han sagde til mig: »Kammeret her, hvis Forside vender mod Syd, er for Præsterne, der tager Vare paa, hvad der er at varetage i Templet,
46 The room whose door faces north is for the priests who are in charge of [the work at] the altar. They are the descendants of Zadok; they are the only descendants of Levi who are permitted to approach Yahweh while they work for him.”
og Kammeret der, hvis Forside vender mod Nord, er for Præsterne, der tager Vare paa, hvad der er at varetage ved Alteret. Det er Zadoks Sønner, som alene af Levis Sønner maa nærme sig HERREN for at tjene ham.«
47 Then he measured the courtyard: It was square, (175 feet/53 meters) long and (175 feet/53 meters) wide. The altar was in front of the temple.
Saa maalte han Forgaarden; den var hundrede Alen lang og hundrede Alen bred i Firkant; og Alteret stod foran Templet.
48 Then [in the vision] he brought me to the entry room of the temple, and measured the walls on each side of the entrance: They were (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) thick. The entrance was (24-1/2 feet/7.4 meters) wide, and the walls on each side of the entrance were (5-1/4 feet/1.6 meters) long.
Derpaa førte han mig til Templets Forhal og maalte Forhallens Piller; de var fem Alen brede paa begge Sider; Porten var fjorten Alen bred og dens Sidevægge tre Alen paa begge Sider,
49 The entry room was (35 feet/10.6 meters) wide on each side. There were ten steps up to it, and there were pillars on each side of the entrance.
og Forhallen var tyve Alen lang og tolv Alen bred. Ad ti Trin steg man op til den; og der stod Søjler op ad Pillerne, een paa hver Side.
