Ezekiel 40

1 In the twenty-fifth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was struck, in the same day, the LORD’s hand was on me, and he brought me there.

Idet fem og tyvende Aar, efter at vi vare bortførte, i Aarets Begyndelse, paa den tiende Dag i Maaneden, det fjortende Aar efter at Staden var bleven indtagen — paa denne Dag kom Herrens Haand over mig og førte mig derhen.

2 In the visions of God he brought me into the land of Israel, and set me down on a very high mountain, on which was something like the frame of a city to the south.

I Syner fra Gud førte han mig til Israels Land og satte mig paa et saare højt Bjerg, og oven paa dette saa det ud, som man byggede en Stad imod Syd.

3 He brought me there; and, behold, there was a man whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze, with a line of flax in his hand and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.

Da han havde ført mig derhen, se, da var der en Mand, hvis Udseende var som Udseendet af Kobber, og der var en Hørgarnssnor og en Maalestok i hans Haand, og han stod i Porten.

4 The man said to me, “Son of man, see with your eyes, and hear with your ears, and set your heart on all that I will show you; for you have been brought here so that I may show them to you. Declare all that you see to the house of Israel.”

Og Manden talte til mig: Du Menneskesøn! se til med dine Øjne, og hør med dine Øren, og ret dit Hjerte til alt det, som jeg vil lade dig se; thi du er ført hid, for at jeg skal lade dig se det; forkynd Israels Hus alt det, du ser.

5 Behold, there was a wall on the outside of the house all around, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed six cubits long, of a cubit and a hand width each. So he measured the thickness of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.

Og se, der gik en Mur uden om Huset trindt omkring, og i Mandens Haand var der en Maalestok, seks Alen lang, hver Alen en almindelig Alen og en Haandbred, og han maalte Murens Tykkelse eet Maal, og Højden eet Maal.

6 Then he came to the gate which looks towards the east, and went up its steps. He measured the threshold of the gate, one reed wide; and the other threshold, one reed wide.

Og han kom til Porten, som vendte imod Østen, og gik op ad dens Trappetrin; og han maalte Portens Dørtærskel til eet Maal i Bredden, den ene Dørtærskel til eet Maal i Bredden;

7 Every lodge was one reed long and one reed wide. Between the lodges was five cubits. The threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate towards the house was one reed.

og Vagtkamre, hvert til eet Maal i Længden, og eet Maal i Bredden og fem Alen imellem Vagtkamrene, og Portens Dørtærskel ved Siden af Portens Forhal, set indenfra, til eet Maal.

8 He measured also the porch of the gate towards the house, one reed.

Og han maalte Portens Forhal, set indenfra, til eet Maal.

9 Then he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and its posts, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was towards the house.

Og han maalte Portens Forhal til otte Alen, og dens Piller til to Alen, og Portens Forhal vendte indad.

10 The side rooms of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side. The three of them were of one measure. The posts had one measure on this side and on that side.

Og Vagtkamrene i Porten imod Øst vare tre paa denne og tre paa hin Side, de tre havde ens Maal, og ens Maal havde Pillerne paa denne og paa hin Side.

11 He measured the width of the opening of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits;

Og jhan maalte Portaabningens Bredde til ti Alen og Portens Længde til tretten Alen.

12 and a border before the lodges, one cubit on this side, and a border, one cubit on that side; and the side rooms, six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.

Og der var en afgrænset Plads foran Vagtkamrene af een Alen paa denne og en afgrænset Plads af een Alen paa hin Side; og hvert Vagtkammer var seks Alen paa denne og seks Alen paa den anden Side.

13 He measured the gate from the roof of the one side room to the roof of the other, a width of twenty-five cubits, door against door.

Og han maalte Porten, fra det ene Vagtkammers Tag indtil det andets Tag, til fem og tyve Alen i Bredden, Dør, imod Dør.

14 He also made posts, sixty cubits; and the court reached to the posts, around the gate.

Og han satte Pillerne til tresindstyve Alen, og til Pillerne stødte Forgaarden, trindt omkring Porten.

15 From the forefront of the gate at the entrance to the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were fifty cubits.

Og fra Forsiden af Porten, hvor Indgangen er, indtil Forsiden af den indre Ports Forhal var der halvtredsindstyve Alen.

16 There were closed windows to the side rooms, and to their posts within the gate all around, and likewise to the arches. Windows were around inward. Palm trees were on each post.

Og der var snævrer Vinduer paa Vagtkamrene og paa deres Piller imod den indvendige Side af Porten trindt omkring og ligesaa paa de fremstaaende Sidemure, og der var Vinduer trindt omkring indadtil, og paa Pillerne var der Palmer.

17 Then he brought me into the outer court. Behold, there were rooms and a pavement made for the court all around. Thirty rooms were on the pavement.

Og han førte mig til den ydre Forgaard, og se, der var Kamre og et tavlet Stengulv, lagt i Forgaarden trindt omkring; der var tredive Kamre paa dette Gulv.

18 The pavement was by the side of the gates, corresponding to the length of the gates, even the lower pavement.

Og det tavlede Gulv stødte op til Portenes Side, i Bredden svarende til Portbygningernes Længde; dette var det nedre Gulv.

19 Then he measured the width from the forefront of the lower gate to the forefront of the inner court outside, one hundred cubits, both on the east and on the north.

Og han maalte Bredden fra Forsiden af den nederste Port indtil Forsiden af den indre Forgaard, set udvendig fra, til hundrede Alen, den østre og nordre Side.

20 He measured the length and width of the gate of the outer court which faces towards the north.

Og Porten, som vendte imod Nord, paa den ydre Forgaard, dens Længde og dens Bredde maalte han,

21 The lodges of it were three on this side and three on that side. Its posts and its arches were the same as the measure of the first gate: its length was fifty cubits, and the width twenty-five cubits.

og dens Vagtkamre, tre paa denne og tre paa hin Side, og dens Piller og dens fremstaaende Sidemure; den var efter den første Ports Maal, halvtredsindstyve Alen var dens Længde og fem og tyve Alen Bredden.

22 Its windows, its arches, and its palm trees were the same as the measure of the gate which faces towards the east. They went up to it by seven steps. Its arches were before them.

Og dens Vinduer og dens fremstaaende Sidemure og dens Palmer vare efter Maalet ved den Port, som vender imod Østen, og man gik ad syv Trappetrin op dertil, og dens fremstaaende Sidemure vare foran dem.

23 There was a gate to the inner court facing the other gate, on the north and on the east. He measured one hundred cubits from gate to gate.

Og en Port førte til den indre Forgaard, lige over for Porten, der gik ud til Nord og Øst, og han maalte fra Port til Port hundrede Alen.

24 He led me towards the south; and behold, there was a gate towards the south. He measured its posts and its arches according to these measurements.

Og han førte mig imod Sønden, og se, der var en Port imod Sønden, og han maalte dens Piller og dens fremstaaende Sidemure efter de samme Maal.

25 There were windows in it and in its arches all around, like the other windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the width twenty-five cubits.

Og der var Vinduer paa den og paa dens fremstaaende Sidemure trindt omkring, ligesom hine Vinduer; halvtredsindstyve Alen var Længden og fem og tyve Alen Bredden.

26 There were seven steps to go up to it, and its arches were before them. It had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, on its posts.

Og Opgangen dertil havde syv Trappetrin, og dens fremstaaende Sidemure vare foran dem, og den havde Palmer, een paa denne og een paa hin Side, paa dens Piller.

27 There was a gate to the inner court towards the south. He measured one hundred cubits from gate to gate towards the south.

Og en Port førte til den indre Forgaard imod Sønden, og han maalte fra Port til Port imod Sønden hundrede Alen.

28 Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate. He measured the south gate according to these measurements;

Og han førte mig til den indre Forgaard igennem den søndre Port, og han maalte den søndre Port etter det samme Maal,

29 with its lodges, its posts, and its arches, according to these measurements. There were windows in it and in its arches all around. It was fifty cubits long, and twenty-five cubits wide.

og dens Vagtkamre og dens Piller og dens fremstaaende Sidemure efter de samme Maal; og der var Vinduer paa den og paa dens fremstaaende Sidemure trindt omkring, halvtredsindstyve Alen var Længden og fem og tyve Alen Bredden.

30 There were arches all around, twenty-five cubits long and five cubits wide.

Og der var fremstaaende Sidemure trindt omkring, fem og tyve Alen var Længden og fem Alen Bredden.

31 Its arches were towards the outer court. Palm trees were on its posts. The ascent to it had eight steps.

Og dens fremstaaende Sidemure vendte imod den ydre Forgaard, og der var Palmer paa dens Piller, og Opgangen dertil var otte Trappetrin.

32 He brought me into the inner court towards the east. He measured the gate according to these measurements;

Og han førte mig til den indre Forgaard, imod Østen, og han maalte Porten efter de samme Maal

33 with its lodges, its posts, and its arches, according to these measurements. There were windows in it and in its arches all around. It was fifty cubits long, and twenty-five cubits wide.

og dens Vagtkamre og dens Piller og dens fremstaaende Sidemure efter de samme Maal; og der var Vinduer paa den og paa dens fremstaaende Sidemure trindt omkring, halvtredsindstyve Alen var Længden og fem og tyve Alen Bredden.

34 Its arches were towards the outer court. Palm trees were on its posts on this side and on that side. The ascent to it had eight steps.

Og dens fremstaaende Sidemure vendte imod den ydre Forgaard, og der var Palmer paa dens Piller, paa denne og paa hin Side, og Opgangen dertil var otte Trappetrin.

35 He brought me to the north gate, and he measured it according to these measurements—

Og han førte mig til den nordre Port, og han maalte den efter de samme Maal,

36 its lodges, its posts, and its arches. There were windows in it all around. The length was fifty cubits and the width twenty-five cubits.

dens Vagtkamre, dens Piller og dens fremstaaende Sidemure; og der var Vinduer paa den trindt omkring, halvtredsindstyve Alen var Længden og fem og tyve Alen Bredden.

37 Its posts were towards the outer court. Palm trees were on its posts on this side and on that side. The ascent to it had eight steps.

Og dens Piller vendte imod den ydre Forgaard, og der var Palmer paa dens Piller paa denne og paa hin Side, og Opgangen dertil var otte Trappetrin.

38 A room with its door was by the posts at the gates. They washed the burnt offering there.

Og ved Pillerne ved Portene var der et Kammer med Dør; der skulde de afskylle Brændofferet.

39 In the porch of the gate were two tables on this side and two tables on that side, on which to kill the burnt offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering.

Og i Portens Forhal stode to Borde paa denne og to Borde paa den anden Side, til derpaa at slagte Brændofferet og Syndofferet og Skyldofferet.

40 On the one side outside, as one goes up to the entry of the gate towards the north, were two tables; and on the other side, which belonged to the porch of the gate, were two tables.

Og ved Siden udenfor, til Nord, naar man stiger opad til Indgangen til Porten, stode to Borde, og ved den anden Side, fra Portens Forhal, stode to Borde,

41 Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate: eight tables, on which they killed the sacrifices.

fire Borde paa denne og fire Borde paa den anden Side, ved Siden af Porten, i alt otte Borde, paa hvilke de skulde slagte.

42 There were four cut stone tables for the burnt offering, a cubit and a half long, a cubit and a half wide, and one cubit high. They laid the instruments with which they killed the burnt offering and the sacrifice on them.

Og der var fire Borde ved Trappen, af hugne Stene, halvanden Alen lange og halvanden Alen brede og een Alen høje; paa dem skulde de lægge Redskaberne, med hvilke de skulde slagte Brændofferet og Slagtofferet.

43 The hooks, a hand width long, were fastened within all around. The meat of the offering was on the tables.

Og der var dobbelte Knage, som stode en Haandbred frem, befæstede paa Huset trindt omkring; og paa Bordene skulde Offerkødet lægges.

44 Outside of the inner gate were rooms for the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate. They faced towards the south. One at the side of the east gate faced towards the north.

Og uden for den indre Port var der Kamre til Sangerne, inde i den indre Forgaard, som stødte op til Siden af den nordre Port, og deres Forside vendte imod Sønden; een Række var ved Siden af den østre Port, de vendte imod Nord.

45 He said to me, “This room, which faces towards the south, is for the priests who perform the duty of the house.

Og han talte til mig: Kamrene, hvis Forside vender imod Sønden, ere for Præsterne, som tage Vare paa, hvad der er at varetage ved Huset.

46 The room which faces towards the north is for the priests who perform the duty of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, who from amongst the sons of Levi come near to the LORD to minister to him.”

Og Kamrene, hvis Forside vender imod Nord, ere for Præsterne, som tage Vare paa, hvad der er at varetage ved Alteret; disse ere Zadoks Børn, hvilke ud af Levi Børns Tal staa Herren nær for at tjene ham.

47 He measured the court, one hundred cubits long and one hundred cubits wide, square. The altar was before the house.

Og han maalte Forgaarden, Længden var hundrede Alen, og Bredden hundrede Alen, i Firkant, og Alteret stod lige for Huset.

48 Then he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side. The width of the gate was three cubits on this side and three cubits on that side.

Og han førte mig til Husets Forhal og maalte Forhallens Piller til fem Alen paa denne og fem Alen paa hin Side, og Portens Bredde var tre Alen til denne og tre Alen til den anden Side.

49 The length of the porch was twenty cubits and the width eleven cubits, even by the steps by which they went up to it. There were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.

Forhallens Længde var tyve Alen og Bredden elleve Alen, og det paa Trappen, ad hvilken man gik op til den, og der stod Søjler ved Pillerne, een paa denne og een paa hin Side.
