Ezekiel 43
1 Then [in the vision] the man brought me to the entrance on the east side.
et duxit me ad portam quae respiciebat ad viam orientalem
2 Suddenly I saw the glory/brightness of the God of Israel coming from the east. The sound of his coming was like the roar of a rushing river, and all that area shone with his glory.
et ecce gloria Dei Israhel ingrediebatur per viam orientalem et vox erat ei quasi vox aquarum multarum et terra splendebat a maiestate eius
3 What I saw in this vision was like what I saw in the visions that I had seen [previously, first] by the Kebar River and [later] when God came to destroy Jerusalem. I prostrated myself on the ground.
et vidi visionem secundum speciem quam videram quando venit ut disperderet civitatem et species secundum aspectum quem videram iuxta fluvium Chobar et cecidi super faciem meam
4 The glory of Yahweh entered the temple through the east entrance.
et maiestas Domini ingressa est templum per viam portae quae respiciebat ad orientem
5 Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner courtyard, and the glory of Yahweh filled the temple.
et levavit me spiritus et introduxit me in atrium interius et ecce repleta erat gloria Domini domus
6 [Then] while the man was standing beside me, I heard someone speak to me from inside the temple.
et audivi loquentem ad me de domo et vir qui stabat iuxta me
7 He said, “You human, this is [my temple], the place [I sit on] my throne and where I rest my feet. This is where I will live with the Israeli people forever. The Israeli people and their kings will never again disgrace me [SYN] by worshiping other gods [MET] at the shrines on their hilltops, or by [building] monuments to honor their kings who have died.
dixit ad me fili hominis locus solii mei et locus vestigiorum pedum meorum ubi habito in medio filiorum Israhel in aeternum et non polluent ultra domus Israhel nomen sanctum meum ipsi et reges eorum in fornicationibus suis et in ruinis regum suorum et in excelsis
8 They placed their altars near mine, and the doorposts of their [temples] were next to the doorposts of my [temple]. There was only a wall between them. And they disgraced me by the detestable things that they did. So, being very angry with them, I got rid of them.
qui fabricati sunt limen suum iuxta limen meum et postes suos iuxta postes meos et murus erat inter me et eos et polluerunt nomen sanctum meum in abominationibus quas fecerunt propter quod consumpsi eos in ira mea
9 Now they must stop this disgusting worship of idols and these rituals to honor their kings who have died. If they stop doing those things, I will live among them forever.
nunc ergo repellant procul fornicationem suam et ruinas regum suorum a me et habitabo in medio eorum semper
10 You human, describe to the Israeli people what this temple that I have shown you [in a vision] is like, in order that they will be ashamed of the sins that they have committed [which resulted in their temple in Jerusalem being destroyed].
tu autem fili hominis ostende domui Israhel templum et confundantur ab iniquitatibus suis et metiantur fabricam
11 If they are ashamed of all [the evil things] that they have done, tell them [all] about the temple [that I showed you]: its design/shape, the exits and entrances, [and everything else about it]. And tell them all my laws and regulations about worshiping me there. Write all these things down while they watch you, in order that they will be able to faithfully obey those laws.
et erubescant ex omnibus quae fecerunt figuram domus et fabricae eius exitus et introitus et omnem descriptionem eius et universa praecepta eius cunctumque ordinem eius et omnes leges eius ostende eis et scribes in oculis eorum et custodiant omnes descriptiones eius et praecepta illius et faciant ea
12 And this is the supreme law about the temple [DOU]: All of the area on top of the hill [where the temple will be built] must be kept sacred and holy.”
ista est lex domus in summitate montis omnes fines eius in circuitu sanctum sanctorum est haec ergo est lex domus
13 These are the measurements of the altar, using the same kind of measuring stick that was used for the temple area: There is a gutter around the altar that is (21 in./53 cm.) deep and (21 in./53 cm.) wide. There is a rim around it that is (9 in./23 cm.) wide.
istae autem mensurae altaris in cubito verissimo qui habebat cubitum et palmum in sinu eius erat cubitus et cubitus in latitudine et definitio usque ad labium eius in circuitu palmus unus haec quoque erat fossa altaris
14 The lower part of the gutter is (3-1/2 feet/1.1 meters) high to the lower ledge/rim that surrounds the altar. The lower ledge is (21 in./53 cm.) wide. The upper part of the altar is (7 feet/2.1 meters) high, up to the upper ledge. That ledge is also (21 in./53 cm.) wide.
et de sinu terrae usque ad crepidinem novissimam duo cubiti et latitudo cubiti unius et a crepidine maiori usque ad crepidinem minorem quattuor cubiti et latitudo unius cubiti
15 The (hearth/place where the sacrifices are burned) at the top of the altar is another (7 feet/2.2 meters) high, and there is a projection that juts/extends up from each of the four corners.
ipse autem arihel quattuor cubitorum et ab arihel usque sursum cornua quattuor
16 That place at the top of the altar is square, (21 feet/6.4 meters) on each side.
et arihel duodecim cubitorum in longitudine per duodecim cubitos latitudinis quadrangulatum aequis lateribus
17 The upper ledge is also a square, (24-1/2 feet/7.4 meters) on each side. There is a (21 in./53 cm.) gutter [at the bottom of the altar], and a (10.5 in./26.6 cm.) rim all around it. There are steps up to the east side of the altar.”
et crepido quattuordecim cubitorum longitudinis per quattuordecim latitudinis in quattuor angulis eius et corona in circuitu eius dimidii cubitus et sinus eius unius cubiti per circuitum gradus autem eius versi ad orientem
18 Then the man said to me, “You human, this is what Yahweh the Lord says: These are the regulations for sacrificing offerings that will be completely burned and for sprinkling the blood against the sides of the altar when it is built:
et dixit ad me fili hominis haec dicit Dominus Deus hii sunt ritus altaris in quacumque die fuerit fabricatum ut offeratur super illud holocaustum et effundatur sanguis
19 You must present to the priests a young bull to be an offering to cause the altar to be acceptable to me. The priests are descendants of Levi, from the clan of Zadok, who come near to the altar to serve me.
et dabis sacerdotibus Levitis qui sunt de semine Sadoc qui accedunt ad me ait Dominus Deus ut offerant mihi vitulum de armento pro peccato
20 You must take some of the blood [from the bull that is sacrificed], and smear it on the four projections of the altar and on the four corners of the upper ledge, and all around the rim, to cause the altar to be acceptable to me, and to consecrate it.
et adsumens de sanguine eius pones super quattuor cornua eius et super quattuor angulos crepidinis et super coronam in circuitu et mundabis illud et expiabis
21 You must burn that bull outside the temple in the part of the temple area [that I have] designated for that.
et tolles vitulum qui oblatus fuerit pro peccato et conbures illum in separato loco domus extra sanctuarium
22 The next day, you must offer a male goat that has no defects, to be an offering to cause the altar to be acceptable to me. Then you must purify the altar again, like you did with the bull that was sacrificed.
et in die secunda offeres hircum caprarum inmaculatum pro peccato et expiabunt altare sicut expiaverunt in vitulo
23 When you have finished doing all that, you must offer a young bull and a ram, both of them without any defects.
cumque conpleveris expians illud offeres vitulum de armento inmaculatum et arietem de grege inmaculatum
24 You must offer them to [me], Yahweh, and the priests must sprinkle salt on them and completely burn them [on the altar] for a sacrifice to me.
et offeres eos in conspectu Domini et mittent sacerdotes super eos sal et offerent eos holocaustum Domino
25 [Then], each day for seven days, you must bring [to the priest] a male goat [to be sacrificed] for an offering to cause the altar to be acceptable to me. You must also sacrifice a young bull and a ram, [each] without any defect.
septem diebus facies hircum pro peccato cotidie et vitulum de armento et arietem de pecoribus inmaculatos offerent
26 For seven days the priests will consecrate the altar and cause it to be acceptable to me. By doing that they will dedicate it to me.
septem diebus expiabunt altare et mundabunt illud et implebunt manum eius
27 At the end of those seven days, starting on the following day, the priests will continue to put on the altar offerings to be completely burned and offerings to maintain fellowship with me. Then I will accept you. [That it what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.”
expletis autem diebus in die octava et ultra facient sacerdotes super altare holocausta vestra et quae pro pace offerunt et placatus ero vobis ait Dominus Deus
