Ezekiel 43
1 Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east:
Derpaa førte han mig hen til Østporten.
2 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.
Og se Israels Guds Herlighed kom østerfra, og det lød som mange Vandes Brus, og Jorden lyste af hans Herlighed.
3 And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face.
Synet var som det, jeg havde set, da han kom for at ødelægge Byen, og Vognen saa ud som den, jeg havde set ved Floden Kebar. Da faldt jeg paa mit Ansigt.
4 And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.
Og HERRENS Herlighed drog ind i Templet gennem den Port, hvis Forside vendte mod Øst.
5 So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.
Men Aanden løftede mig op og bragte mig ind i den indre Forgaard, og se, HERRENS Herlighed fyldte Templet.
6 And I heard him speaking to me out of the house; and the man stood by me.
Og jeg hørte en tale til mig ud fra Templet, medens Manden stod ved Siden af mig,
7 And he said to me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their harlotry, nor by the dead bodies of their kings in their high places.
og han sagde: Menneskesøn! Her er min Trones og mine Fodsaalers Sted, hvor jeg vil bo midt iblandt Israeliterne til evig Tid. Israels Hus skal ikke mere vanhellige mit hellige Navn, hverken de eller deres Konger, med deres Bolen eller deres Kongers Lig,
8 In their setting of their threshold by my thresholds, and their post by my posts, and the wall between me and them, they have even defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed: therefore I have consumed them in my anger.
de, som satte deres Tærskel lige ved min og deres Dørstolper lige ved mine, kun med en Mur imellem mig og dem, og vanhelligede mit hellige Navn ved de Vederstyggeligheder, de øvede, saa jeg maatte tilintetgøre dem i min Vrede.
9 Now let them put away their harlotry, and the dead bodies of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.
Nu skal de fri mig for deres Bolen og deres Kongers Lig, saa jeg kan bo iblandt dem til evig Tid.
10 Thou son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern.
Men du, Menneskesøn, giv Israels Hus en Beskrivelse af Templet, dets Udseende og Form, at de maa skamme sig over deres Misgerninger.
11 And if they will be ashamed of all that they have done, show them the form of the house, and the fashion of it, and its exits, and its entrances, and all its forms, and all its ordinances, and all its forms, and all its laws: and write it in their sight, that they may keep its whole form, and all its ordinances, and do them.
Og dersom de skammer sig over alt, hvad de har gjort, saa kundgør dem Templets Omrids og Indretning, dets Udgange og Indgange, et helt Billede deraf; ligeledes alle Vedtægter og Love derom; og skriv det op for deres Øjne, at de maa mærke sig Billedet i sin Helhed og alle Vedtægterne og holde dem.
12 This is the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain its whole limit all around shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.
Dette er Loven om Templet: Paa Bjergets Tinde skal alt dets Omraade til alle Sider være højhelligt; se, det er Loven om Templet.
13 And these are the measures of the altar after the cubits: The cubit is a cubit and an hand breadth; even the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border of it by its edge on every side shall be a span: and this shall be the higher place of the altar.
Følgende er Alterets Maal i Alen, en Alen en Haandsbred længere end sædvanlig: Foden var en Alen høj og en Alen bred, Kantlisten Randen rundt et Spand høj. Om Alterets Højde gælder følgende:
14 And from the bottom upon the ground even to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the smaller ledge even to the greater ledge shall be four cubits, and the breadth one cubit.
Fra Foden underneden op til det nederste Fremspring to Alen med en Alens Bredde; og fra det lille Fremspring til det store fire Alen med en Alens Bredde.
15 So the altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar and upward shall be four horns.
Ildstedet var fire Alen højt, og fra Ildstedet ragede fire Horn i Vejret.
16 And the altar shall be twelve cubits long, twelve broad, square in its four sides.
Ildstedet var tolv Alen langt og tolv Alen bredt, saa det dannede en ligesidet Firkant.
17 And the ledge shall be fourteen cubits long and fourteen broad in its four sides; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and the bottom of it shall be a cubit about; and its stairs shall look toward the east.
Det store Fremspring var fjorten Alen langt og fjorten Alen bredt paa alle fire Sider; det lille Fremspring seksten Alen langt og seksten Alen bredt paa alle fire Sider; Kantlisten rundt om en halv Alen bred og Foden en Alen bred rundt om. Trappen var paa Østsiden.
18 And he said to me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt offerings on it, and to sprinkle blood on it.
Og han sagde til mig: Menneskesøn! Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Følgende er Vedtægterne om Alteret, paa den Dag det bygges til at ofre Brændofre og sprænge Blod paa:
19 And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that are of the seed of Zadok, who approach to me, to minister to me, saith the Lord GOD, a young bull for a sin offering.
Saa lyder det fra den Herre HERREN: Levitpræsterne, som nedstammer fra Zadok og maa nærme sig mig for at gøre Tjeneste for mig, skal du give en ung Tyr til Syndoffer;
20 And thou shalt take of his blood, and put it on its four horns, and on the four corners of the ledge, and upon the border on every side: thus shalt thou cleanse and purge it.
og du skal tage noget af dens Blod og stryge det paa Alterets fire Horn, paa Fremspringets fire Hjørner og paa Kantlisten rundt om og saaledes rense det for Synd og fuldbyrde Soningen for det.
21 Thou shalt take the bull also of the sin offering, and he shall burn it in the appointed place of the house, outside of the sanctuary.
Og du skal tage Syndoffertyren og brænde den ved Tempelvagten uden for Helligdommen.
22 And on the second day thou shalt offer a kid of the goats without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bull.
Næste Dag skal du bringe en lydefri Gedebuk som Syndoffer, og de skal rense Alteret for Synd, ligesom de rensede det med Tyren.
23 When thou hast finished cleansing it, thou shalt offer a young bull without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.
Og naar du er til Ende med at rense det for Synd, skal du bringe en lydefri ung Tyr og en lydefri Væder af Smaakvæget;
24 And thou shalt offer them before the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them for a burnt offering to the LORD.
du skal bringe dem for HERRENS Aasyn, og Præsterne skal strø Salt paa dem og ofre dem som Brændoffer for HERREN.
25 Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat for a sin offering: they shall also prepare a young bull, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish.
Syv Dage skal du daglig ofre en Syndofferbuk, og man skal ofre en ung Tyr og en Væder af Smaakvæget, lydefri Dyr;
26 Seven days shall they purge the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate themselves.
i syv Dage skal man fuldbyrde Soningen for Alteret og rense det og indvie det.
27 And when these days are fulfilled, it shall be, that upon the eighth day, and so onward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings upon the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord GOD.
Saaledes skal man bære sig ad i disse Dage. Og paa den ottende Dag og siden hen skal Præsterne ofre eders Brændofre og Takofre paa Alteret; og jeg vil have Behag i eder, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
