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.

我らの擄へ移されてより二十五年邑の撃破られて後十四年その年の初の月の十日其日にヱホバの手われに臨み我を彼處に携へ往く

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.

即ち神異象の中に我をイスラエルの地にたづさへゆきて甚だ高き山の上におろしたまふ其處に南の方にあたりて邑のごとき者建てり

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.

彼我をひきて彼處にいたり給ふに一箇の人あるを見るその面容は銅のごとくにして手に麻の繩と間竿を執り門に立てり

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].”

其人われに言けるは人の子よ汝目をもて視耳をもて聞き我が汝にしめす諸の事に心をとめよ汝を此にたづさへしはこれを汝にしめさんためなり汝が見るところの事を盡くイスラエルの家に告よと

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.

斯ありて視るに家の外の四周に墻垣ありその人の手に六キユビトの間竿ありそのキユビトは各一キユビトと一手濶なり彼その墻の厚を量るに一竿ありその高もまた一竿あり

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.

彼東向の門にいたりその階をのぼりて門の閾を量るに其濶一竿あり即ち第一の閾の濶一竿なり

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.

守房は長一竿廣一竿守房と守房の間は五キユビトあり内の門の廊の傍なる門の閾も一竿あり

8 Then he measured the entry room at the end of the entry hallway.

内の門の廊を量るに一竿あり

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].

又門の廊を量るに八キユビトありその柱は二キユビトなりその門の廊は内にあり

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.

東向の門の守房は此旁に三箇彼處に三箇あり此三みな其寸尺おなじ柱もまた此處彼處ともにその寸尺おなじ

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.

門の入口の廣をはかるに十キユビトあり門の長は十三キユビトなり

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.

守房の前に一キユビトの界あり彼旁の界も一キユビトなり守房は此旁彼旁ともに六キユビトなり

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).

彼また此守房の屋背より彼屋背まで門をはかるに入口より入口まで二十五キユビトあり

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.

柱は六十キユビトに作れる者なり門のまはりに庭ありて柱にまでおよぶ

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).

入口の門の前より内の門の廊の前にいたるまで五十キユビトあり

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.

守房と門の内面の周圍の柱とに閉窓あり墻垣の差出たる處にもしかり内面の周圍には窓あり柱には棕櫚あり

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.

彼また我を外庭に携ゆくに庭の周圍に設けたる室と鋪石あり鋪石の上に三十の室あり

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.

鋪石は門の側にありて門の長におなじ是下鋪石なり

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].

彼下の門の前より内庭の外の前までの廣を量るに東と北とに百キユビトあり

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].

又外庭なる北向の門の長と寛をはかれり

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.

守房その此旁に三箇彼旁に三箇あり柱および差出たる處もあり是は前の門の寸尺のごとく長五十キユビト濶二十五キユビトなり

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.

その窓と差出たる處と棕櫚は東向の門にある者の寸尺と同じ七段の階級を經て上るに差出たる處その前にあり

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).

内庭の門は北と東の門に向ふ彼門より門までを量るに百キユビトあり

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.

彼また我を南に携ゆくに南向の門ありその柱と差出たる處をはかるに前の寸尺の如し

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.

是とその差出たる處の周圍に窓あり彼窓のごとしその門は長五十キユビト濶二十五キユビトなり

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.

七段の階級をへて登るべし差出たる處その前にありその柱の上には此旁に一箇彼旁に一箇の棕櫚あり

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).

内庭に南向の門あり門より門まで南の方をはかるに百キユビトあり

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].

彼我を携へて南の門より内庭に至る彼南の門をはかるにその寸尺前のごとし

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.

その守房と柱と差出たる處は前の寸尺のごとしその門と差出たる處の周圍とに窓あり門の長五十キユビト濶二十五キユビトなり

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.

差出たる處周圍にありその長二十五キユビト濶五キユビト

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.

其差出たる處は外庭に出づその柱の上に棕櫚あり八段の階級をへて升るべし

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]

彼また内庭の東の方に我をたづさへゆきて門をはかるに前の寸尺の如し

33 Its alcoves and dividing walls and entry room measured the same as the others.

その守房と柱および差出たる處は寸尺前のごとしその門と差出たる處の周圍とに窓あり門の長五十キユビト濶二十五キユビト

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.

その差出たる處は外庭にいづ柱の上には此旁彼旁に棕櫚あり八段の階級をへて升るべし

35 Then he led me to the entrance on the north side and measured it. It measured the same as the other entrances.

彼われを北の門にたづさへゆきてこれを量るに寸尺おなじ

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.

その守房と柱と差出たる處ありその周園に窓あり門の長五十キユビト濶二十五キユビト

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.

その柱は外庭に出づ柱の上に此旁彼旁に棕櫚あり八段の階をへて升るべし

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.

門の柱の傍に戸のある室あり其處は燔祭の牲を洗ふところなり

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.

門の廊に此旁に二の臺彼旁に二の臺あり其上に燔祭 罪祭 愆祭の牲畜を屠るべし

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.

北の門の入口に升るに外面に於て門の廊の傍に二の臺あり亦他の旁にも二の臺あり

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.

門の側に此旁に四の臺彼旁に四の臺ありて八なり其上に屠ることを爲す

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.

升口に琢石の四の臺あり長一キユビト半廣一キユビト半高一キユビトなり燔祭および犠牲を宰るところの器具をその上に置く

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].

内の周圍に一手寛の曲釘うちてあり犠牲の肉は臺の上におかる

44 Outside the inner entryway, inside the inner courtyard, were two rooms, one on the north side and one on the south side.

内の門の外において内庭に謳歌人の室あり一は北の門の側にありて南にむかひ一は南の門の側にありて北にむかふ

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.

彼われに言ふ此南にむかへる室は殿をまもる祭司のための者

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.”

北にむかへる室は壇をまもる祭司のための者なり彼等はレビの子孫の中なるザドクの後裔にしてヱホバに近よりて之に事ふるなり

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.

而して彼庭をはかるに長百キユビト寛百キユビトにして四角なり殿の前に壇あり

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.

彼殿の廊に我をひきゆきて廊の柱を量るに此旁も五キユビト彼方も五キユビトあり門の廣は此旁三キユビト彼旁三キユビトなり

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.

廊の長は二十キユビト寛は十一キユビト階級によりて升るべし柱にそふて柱あり此旁に一箇彼旁に一箇
