Ezekiel 46
1 “‘This is [also] what [I], Yahweh the Lord, declare: The east entryway of the inner courtyard must be shut during the six days in which people work each week, but on the Sabbath days and on the days when there is a new moon, that entryway must [remain] open until that evening.
Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Porta atrii interioris, quæ respicit ad Orientem, erit clausa sex diebus, in quibus opus fit: die autem Sabbati aperietur, sed et in die Calendarum aperietur.
2 The king must enter the courtyard through the entry room of the entryway, and stand alongside the entry post. [Then] the priests must sacrifice the animal that the king brought to be completely [on the altar], and also his offering to maintain fellowship with me. The king must worship me at the entrance of the entryway, and then he must go out. [After he leaves], the entryway will not be shut until that evening.
Et intrabit princeps per viam vestibuli portæ deforis, et stabit in limine portæ: et facient sacerdotes holocaustum eius, et pacifica eius: et adorabit super limen portæ, et egredietur: porta autem non claudetur usque ad vesperam.
3 On the Sabbath days and on the [days when there is a] new moon, the people must worship [me] at the entrance of the entryway.
Et adorabit populus terræ ad ostium portæ illius in Sabbatis, et in Calendis coram Domino.
4 The offering that the king brings to be completely burned on the Sabbath day must be six lambs and one ram, all with no defects.
Holocaustum autem hoc offeret princeps Domino: in die Sabbati sex agnos immaculatos, et arietem immaculatum.
5 The offering [that he gives] with the ram must be a bushel of grain, and the grain [that he offers] with the lambs should be as much as he desires to offer, along with (1 gallon/3.8 liters) of [olive] oil for each bushel [of grain].
Et sacrificium ephi per arietem: in agnis autem sacrificium quod dederit manus eius: et olei hin per singula ephi.
6 [Then] each day that there is a new moon, he must offer a young bull, six lambs and a ram, all with no defects.
In die autem Calendarum vitulum de armento immaculatum: et sex agni, et arietes immaculati erunt.
7 He must [also] provide one bushel of grain with the bull, one bushel of grain with the ram, and as much grain as he wants with the lambs, along with one quart/liter of [olive] oil with each bushel [of grain].
Et ephi per vitulum, ephi quoque per arietem faciet sacrificium: de agnis autem, sicut invenerit manus eius: et olei hin per singula ephi.
8 When the king enters [the temple area], he must enter through the entry room of the entryway, and he must go out through that same entry room [when he leaves].
Cumque ingressurus est princeps, per viam vestibuli portæ ingrediatur, et per eamdem viam exeat.
9 When the Israeli people come to worship me at the festivals that I have appointed, those who enter the temple area through the north entryway must go out through the south entryway. And those who enter through the south entryway must go out through the north entryway. People must not go out through the entryway through which they entered; they must go out through the opposite entryway.
Et cum intrabit populus terræ in conspectu Domini in sollemnitatibus: qui ingreditur per portam Aquilonis, ut adoret, egrediatur per viam portæ Meridianæ: porro qui ingreditur per viam portæ Meridianæ, egrediatur per viam portæ Aquilonis: non revertetur per viam portæ, per quam ingressus est, sed e regione illius egredietur.
10 The king must go in when the other people go in, and go out when the people go out.
Princeps autem in medio eorum cum ingredientibus ingredietur, et cum egredientibus egredietur.
11 During the festivals and sacred feasts, the king must present a bushel of grain along with each bull or ram, and as much grain as he wants to bring, along with the lambs and (1 gallon/3.8 liters) of olive oil with each bushel of grain.
Et in nundinis, et in sollemnitatibus erit sacrificium ephi per vitulum, et ephi per arietem: agnis autem erit sacrificium sicut invenerit manus eius: et olei hin per singula ephi.
12 When the king gives an offering that is not required, either one to be completely burned [on the altar] or an offering to maintain fellowship with [me, Yahweh, the entryway on the east side of the courtyard] must be opened for him. Then he must present those offerings like he does on the Sabbath days. Then he must go out, and after he goes out, the entryway must be shut.
Cum autem fecerit princeps spontaneum holocaustum, aut pacifica voluntaria Domino: aperietur ei porta, quæ respicit ad Orientem, et faciet holocaustum suum, et pacifica sua, sicut fieri solet in die Sabbati: et egredietur, claudeturque porta postquam exierit.
13 Every day, during the morning, someone must provide a one-year-old lamb with no defects to be an offering to me that will be completely burned.
Et agnum eiusdem anni immaculatum faciet holocaustum quotidie Domino: semper mane faciet illud.
14 Someone must also provide each morning an offering of flour. It must be one sixth of a bushel of flour mixed with one quart/liter of [olive] oil. These offerings of flour and olive oil to must be presented [to me], Yahweh, each day.
Et faciet sacrificium super eo cata mane mane sextam partem ephi, et de oleo tertiam partem hin, ut misceatur similæ: sacrificium Domino legitimum, iuge atque perpetuum.
15 The lamb and the offering of flour and [olive] oil must be presented to me every morning, to be completely burned on the altar.
Faciet agnum, et sacrificium, et oleum cata mane mane, holocaustum sempiternum.
16 This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare: If the king gives some of his land to one of his sons, to belong to him permanently, it will then belong to his son’s descendants forever.
Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Si dederit princeps donum alicui de filiis suis: hereditas eius, filiorum suorum erit, possidebunt eam hereditarie.
17 However, if he gives some of his land to one of his servants, the servant is allowed to keep that land until the Year of Celebration. Then the king will own it again; the king’s land must belong to his descendants forever.
Si autem dederit legatum de hereditate sua uni servorum suorum, erit illius usque ad annum remissionis, et revertetur ad principem: hereditas autem eius, filiis eius erit.
18 The king must not take any land that the people own and force them to live somewhere else. The land that he gives to his sons must be from his own property, [not from anyone else’s property], in order that none of my people will be forced to leave his own property.’”
Et non accipiet princeps de hereditate populi per violentiam, et de possessione eorum: sed de possessione sua hereditatem dabit filiis suis: ut non dispergatur populus meus unusquisque a possessione sua.
19 Then, [in the vision], the man [who was showing the temple area to me] brought me through the entrance alongside the entryway and led me to the sacred rooms on the north side, the rooms that the priests used, and he showed me a place at the western end [of those rooms].
Et introduxit me per ingressum, qui erat ex latere portæ, in gazophylacia sanctuarii ad sacerdotes, quæ respiciebant ad Aquilonem: et erat ibi locus vergens ad Occidentem.
20 He said to me, “This is the place where the priests must cook the meat of the offerings that people bring in order to no longer be guilty for having sinned, and offerings for their sins, and where they will bake bread made with the flour brought to be offerings. [They will cook those things in their rooms] in order to avoid bringing them into the outer courtyard [to cook them there], lest someone [be punished because of] touching them.”
Et dixit ad me: Iste est locus ubi coquent sacerdotes pro peccato, et pro delicto: ubi coquent sacrificium, ut non efferant in atrium exterius, et sanctificetur populus.
21 Then the man brought me to the outer courtyard and led me to its four corners. In each corner I saw an enclosed area;
Et eduxit me in atrium exterius, et circumduxit me per quattuor angulos atrii: et ecce atriolum erat in angulo atrii, atriola singula per angulos atrii.
22 each of those areas was (70 feet/21.2 meters) long and (52-1/2 feet/15.9 meters) wide.
In quattuor angulis atrii atriola disposita, quadraginta cubitorum per longum, et triginta per latum: mensuræ unius quattuor erant.
23 Around the inside of each of those enclosed areas was a stone ledge, with places to make fires all around under each ledge.
Et paries per circuitum ambiens quattuor atriola: et culinæ fabricatæ erant subter porticus per gyrum.
24 The man said to me, “These are the kitchens where [the descendants of Levi] who work in the temple must cook the sacrifices that the people bring.”
Et dixit ad me: Hæc est domus culinarum, in qua coquent ministri domus Domini victimas populi.
