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.
Waktu itu tanggal sepuluh bulan satu, dalam tahun kedua puluh lima masa pembuangan kami, empat belas tahun sesudah Yerusalem dikalahkan, aku merasakan kuasa TUHAN, lalu aku dibawa-Nya pergi.
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.
Dalam sebuah penglihatan, Allah membawa aku ke tanah Israel dan menempatkan aku di gunung yang tinggi. Di hadapanku kulihat sekelompok bangunan yang menyerupai sebuah kota.
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.
Aku dibawanya ke situ dan kulihat seorang laki-laki yang berkilauan seperti perunggu berdiri di dekat pintu gerbang. Ia memegang tali pengukur dari linen serta kayu pengukur.
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].”
Laki-laki itu berkata kepadaku, "Hai manusia fana, dengarlah baik-baik dan perhatikanlah segala sesuatu yang kuperlihatkan kepadamu, sebab untuk itulah engkau dibawa ke mari. Beritahukanlah kepada bangsa Israel semua yang akan kaulihat."
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.
Lalu aku melihat Rumah TUHAN yang dikelilingi tembok. Laki-laki itu mulai mengukur tembok itu dengan kayu pengukurnya yang panjangnya tiga meter. Ternyata tembok itu tingginya tiga meter dan tebalnya juga tiga meter.
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.
Kemudian ia pergi ke gerbang yang menghadap ke timur. Ia mendaki tangganya dan sesampainya di atas, ia mengukur ambang pintu itu, lebarnya tiga meter.
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.
Di belakang gerbang itu ada sebuah lorong dan pada masing-masing sisinya terdapat tiga kamar jaga. Semua kamar itu sama besarnya; bentuknya segi empat, dan panjang setiap sisinya adalah tiga meter. Tembok-tembok pemisah setiap kamar sama tebalnya, yaitu dua setengah meter. Lorong itu memanjang tiga meter lagi dan menuju ke ruang besar yang menghadap ke Rumah TUHAN. Laki-laki itu mengukur ruang besar itu dan ternyata lebarnya empat meter; letaknya di ujung pintu gerbang, sebelah dalam, yaitu yang paling dekat dengan Rumah TUHAN. Tembok-tembok di bagian yang menghadap Rumah TUHAN, tebalnya satu meter.
8 Then he measured the entry room at the end of the entry hallway.
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].
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.
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.
Kemudian laki-laki itu mengukur lebar lorong di pintu gerbang; enam setengah meter, dan juga lebar pintu gerbang itu lima meter.
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.
Di depan kamar-kamar jaga yang berukuran tiga kali tiga meter itu, ada tembok rendah yang tingginya setengah meter, dan tebalnya setengah meter juga.
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).
Lalu laki-laki itu mengukur jarak dari tembok belakang sebuah kamar jaga sampai ke tembok belakang kamar jaga di seberangnya, yaitu 12,5 meter.
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.
Ia juga mengukur ruang besar itu: panjangnya sepuluh meter. Pintu ruang itu menuju ke pelataran luar Rumah TUHAN.
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).
Jarak dari pintu gerbang sebelah luar sampai ke tembok ruang besar di bagian yang menghadap ke Rumah TUHAN adalah 25 meter.
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.
Pada tembok belakang dan tembok pemisah kamar-kamar itu ada jendela-jendela kecil. Tembok-tembok bagian dalam yang menghadap ke lorong, dihias dengan ukir-ukiran pohon palem.
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.
Kemudian laki-laki itu membawa aku melalui pintu gerbang ke pelataran luar Rumah TUHAN. Pada sisi tembok luar di sekeliling Rumah TUHAN itu dibangun 30 kamar. Di depan kamar-kamar itu ada lantai batu
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.
yang mengelilingi seluruh pelataran itu. Pelataran luar itu lebih rendah daripada pelataran dalam.
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].
Di situ ada pintu gerbang lain yang letaknya lebih tinggi dan yang menuju ke pelataran dalam. Laki-laki itu mengukur jarak antara kedua pintu gerbang itu: 50 meter.
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].
Kemudian laki-laki itu mengukur gerbang utara yang menuju ke pelataran dalam.
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.
Di gerbang itu, ketiga kamar jaga pada masing-masing sisi lorongnya, tembok-tembok pemisahnya serta ruang besarnya, semuanya sama ukurannya dengan yang ada di gerbang sebelah timur. Seluruh lorong gerbang itu panjangnya 25 meter dan lebarnya 12,5 meter.
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.
Juga ruang besarnya, jendela-jendelanya, dan ukir-ukiran pohon palemnya sama dengan yang ada di gerbang timur. Tujuh anak tangga menuju ke gerbang itu, dan di ujungnya ada ruang besar yang menghadap ke pelataran luar Rumah TUHAN.
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).
Berhadapan dengan gerbang utara, ada gerbang lain yang menuju ke pelataran dalam, sama seperti yang ada di sebelah gerbang timur. Orang itu mengukur jarak antara kedua gerbang itu: 50 meter.
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.
Selanjutnya, laki-laki itu membawa aku ke gerbang selatan dan mengukurnya. Ternyata gerbang itu sama dengan gerbang-gerbang yang lain.
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.
Jendela-jendela di kamar-kamarnya sama dengan yang ada di gerbang-gerbang yang lain. Panjang lorong gerbang itu 25 meter, dan lebarnya 12,5 meter.
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.
Tujuh anak tangga menuju ke gerbang itu dan ruang besarnya juga ada di ujung, menghadap ke pelataran luar Rumah TUHAN. Tembok-tembok bagian dalam yang menghadap ke lorong, dihias dengan ukir-ukiran pohon palem.
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).
Di situ ada juga gerbang yang menuju ke pelataran dalam. Laki-laki itu mengukur jarak antara kedua gerbang itu: 50 meter.
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].
Selanjutnya laki-laki itu membawa aku melalui gerbang selatan masuk ke pelataran dalam. Ia mengukur gerbang selatan itu, dan ukurannya sama dengan gerbang-gerbang di sebelah luar.
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.
Kamar-kamar jaganya, ruang besarnya, dan tembok-tembok dalamnya sama dengan yang ada di gerbang-gerbang lain. Kamar-kamar di gerbang ini pun mempunyai jendela-jendela. Lorong gerbang itu panjangnya 25 meter dan lebar 12,5 meter.
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.
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.
Tetapi ruang besarnya menghadap ke pelataran luar. Tembok-tembok bagian dalam yang menghadap ke lorong, juga dihias dengan ukir-ukiran pohon palem. Delapan anak tangga itu menuju ke gerbang itu.
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]
Setelah itu laki-laki itu membawa aku melalui gerbang timur masuk ke halaman dalam. Ia mengukur gerbang itu dan ukurannya sama dengan gerbang-gerbang yang lain.
33 Its alcoves and dividing walls and entry room measured the same as the others.
Kamar-kamar jaganya, tembok-tembok dalamnya dan ruang besarnya ukurannya seperti yang ada di gerbang-gerbang yang lain. Di kamar-kamar itu dan di ruang besarnya ada jendela-jendela. Panjang lorong gerbang itu 25 meter dan lebarnya 12,5 meter.
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.
Ruang besarnya menghadap ke pelataran luar. Tembok-tembok bagian dalam yang menghadap ke lorong, dihias dengan ukir-ukiran pohon palem. Delapan anak tangga menuju ke gerbang itu.
35 Then he led me to the entrance on the north side and measured it. It measured the same as the other entrances.
Akhirnya laki-laki itu membawa aku ke gerbang utara. Ia mengukur gerbang itu dan ukurannya sama dengan gerbang-gerbang yang lain.
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.
Juga kamar-kamar jaganya, tembok-tembok dalamnya dan ruang besarnya sama dengan yang ada di gerbang-gerbang yang lain. Di kamar-kamarnya dan di ruang besarnya ada jendela-jendela. Panjang lorong gerbang itu 25 meter dan lebarnya 12,5 meter.
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.
Ruang depannya juga menghadap ke pelataran luar. Tembok-tembok bagian dalam yang menghadap ke lorong, dihias dengan ukir-ukiran pohon palem. Delapan anak tangga menuju ke gerbang itu.
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.
Di pelataran luar ada sebuah kamar tambahan di gerbang dalam sebelah utara. Dari kamar tambahan itu ada sebuah pintu yang menuju ke ruang besar. Di situlah dibasuh binatang-binatang untuk kurban bakaran.
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.
Di ruang besar itu, ada empat buah meja, dua di setiap sisinya. Di atas meja-meja itulah dipotong binatang untuk kurban bakaran, atau kurban penghapus dosa atau kurban ganti rugi.
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.
Di luar ruang besar itu ada lagi empat meja, dua di setiap sisi gerbang utara itu.
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.
Jadi, semuanya ada delapan buah meja tempat memotong kurban: empat di dalam, dan empat di luar pelataran.
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.
Keempat buah meja di kamar tambahan yang dipakai untuk mempersiapkan kurban bakaran dipahat dari batu. Meja itu tingginya setengah meter, sedang bagian atasnya persegi empat, panjang dan lebarnya masing-masing tiga perempat meter. Di atas meja-meja itu disimpan perkakas untuk memotong binatang kurban.
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].
Tepi meja-meja itu mempunyai pinggiran selebar 75 milimeter. Semua daging yang akan dikurbankan diletakkan di atas meja-meja itu.
44 Outside the inner entryway, inside the inner courtyard, were two rooms, one on the north side and one on the south side.
Kemudian laki-laki itu membawa aku ke pelataran dalam. Di situ ada dua bangsal, yang satu di samping gerbang utara dan menghadap ke selatan, sedang yang satu lagi di samping gerbang selatan dan menghadap ke utara.
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.
Laki-laki itu mengatakan kepadaku bahwa bangsal yang menghadap ke selatan itu disediakan untuk para imam yang bertugas di Rumah TUHAN,
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.”
sedang bangsal yang menghadap ke utara disediakan untuk para imam yang bertugas pada mezbah. Semua imam itu harus dari keturunan Zadok. Sebab dari suku Lewi hanya keturunan Zadok yang boleh menghadap TUHAN untuk melayani Dia dalam ibadat.
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.
Laki-laki itu mengukur pelataran dalam. Bentuknya persegi empat: panjang dan lebarnya masing-masing 50 meter. Rumah TUHAN itu ada di sebelah barat, dan di depannya ada sebuah mezbah.
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.
Kemudian ia membawa aku ke ruang depan Rumah TUHAN dengan mendaki beberapa anak tangga. Ia mengukur ruang masuk; luasnya tujuh kali dua setengah meter, dengan dinding-dinding pada kedua pinggirnya setebal satu setengah meter. Di kiri kanannya ada sebuah pilar. Ruang depan itu sendiri panjangnya sepuluh meter dan lebarnya enam meter.
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.
