Ἰεζεκιήλ 43
1 καὶ ἤγαγέν με ἐπὶ τὴν πύλην τὴν βλέπουσαν κατὰ ἀνατολὰς καὶ ἐξήγαγέν με
Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looks toward the east.
2 καὶ ἰδοὺ δόξα θεοῦ Ισραηλ ἤρχετο κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης τῆς βλεπούσης πρὸς ἀνατολάς καὶ φωνὴ τῆς παρεμβολῆς ὡς φωνὴ διπλασιαζόντων πολλῶν καὶ ἡ γῆ ἐξέλαμπεν ὡς φέγγος ἀπὸ τῆς δόξης κυκλόθεν
Behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. His voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth was illuminated with his glory.
3 καὶ ἡ ὅρασις ἣν εἶδον κατὰ τὴν ὅρασιν ἣν εἶδον ὅτε εἰσεπορευόμην τοῦ χρῖσαι τὴν πόλιν καὶ ἡ ὅρασις τοῦ ἅρματος οὗ εἶδον κατὰ τὴν ὅρασιν ἣν εἶδον ἐπὶ τοῦ ποταμοῦ τοῦ Χοβαρ καὶ πίπτω ἐπὶ πρόσωπόν μου
It was like 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 on my face.
4 καὶ δόξα κυρίου εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης τῆς βλεπούσης κατὰ ἀνατολάς
The LORD’s glory came into the house by the way of the gate which faces toward the east.
5 καὶ ἀνέλαβέν με πνεῦμα καὶ εἰσήγαγέν με εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἐσωτέραν καὶ ἰδοὺ πλήρης δόξης κυρίου ὁ οἶκος
The Spirit took me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the LORD’s glory filled the house.
6 καὶ ἔστην καὶ ἰδοὺ φωνὴ ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου λαλοῦντος πρός με καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ εἱστήκει ἐχόμενός μου
I heard one speaking to me out of the house, and a man stood by me.
7 καὶ εἶπεν πρός με ἑώρακας υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου τὸν τόπον τοῦ θρόνου μου καὶ τὸν τόπον τοῦ ἴχνους τῶν ποδῶν μου ἐν οἷς κατασκηνώσει τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐν μέσῳ οἴκου Ισραηλ τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ οὐ βεβηλώσουσιν οὐκέτι οἶκος Ισραηλ τὸ ὄνομα τὸ ἅγιόν μου αὐτοὶ καὶ οἱ ἡγούμενοι αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ πορνείᾳ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐν τοῖς φόνοις τῶν ἡγουμένων ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν
He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell among the children of Israel forever. The house of Israel will no more defile my holy name, neither they nor their kings, by their prostitution and by the dead bodies of their kings in their high places;
8 ἐν τῷ τιθέναι αὐτοὺς τὸ πρόθυρόν μου ἐν τοῖς προθύροις αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς φλιάς μου ἐχομένας τῶν φλιῶν αὐτῶν καὶ ἔδωκαν τὸν τοῖχόν μου ὡς συνεχόμενον ἐμοῦ καὶ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐβεβήλωσαν τὸ ὄνομα τὸ ἅγιόν μου ἐν ταῖς ἀνομίαις αὐτῶν αἷς ἐποίουν καὶ ἐξέτριψα αὐτοὺς ἐν θυμῷ μου καὶ ἐν φόνῳ
in their setting of their threshold by my threshold and their door post beside my door post. There was a wall between me and them; and they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed. Therefore I have consumed them in my anger.
9 καὶ νῦν ἀπωσάσθωσαν τὴν πορνείαν αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς φόνους τῶν ἡγουμένων αὐτῶν ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ καὶ κατασκηνώσω ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν τὸν αἰῶνα
Now let them put away their prostitution, and the dead bodies of their kings far from me. Then I will dwell among them forever.
10 καὶ σύ υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου δεῖξον τῷ οἴκῳ Ισραηλ τὸν οἶκον καὶ κοπάσουσιν ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν καὶ τὴν ὅρασιν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν διάταξιν αὐτοῦ
“You, 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.
11 καὶ αὐτοὶ λήμψονται τὴν κόλασιν αὐτῶν περὶ πάντων ὧν ἐποίησαν καὶ διαγράψεις τὸν οἶκον καὶ τὰς ἐξόδους αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν ὑπόστασιν αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντα τὰ προστάγματα αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντα τὰ νόμιμα αὐτοῦ γνωριεῖς αὐτοῖς καὶ διαγράψεις ἐναντίον αὐτῶν καὶ φυλάξονται πάντα τὰ δικαιώματά μου καὶ πάντα τὰ προστάγματά μου καὶ ποιήσουσιν αὐτά
If they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the form of the house, its fashion, its exits, its entrances, its structure, all its ordinances, all its forms, and all its laws; and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form of it, and all its ordinances, and do them.
12 καὶ τὴν διαγραφὴν τοῦ οἴκου ἐπὶ τῆς κορυφῆς τοῦ ὄρους πάντα τὰ ὅρια αὐτοῦ κυκλόθεν ἅγια ἁγίων
“This is the law of the house. On the top of the mountain the whole limit around it shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.
13 καὶ ταῦτα τὰ μέτρα τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου ἐν πήχει τοῦ πήχεος καὶ παλαιστῆς κόλπωμα βάθος ἐπὶ πῆχυν καὶ πῆχυς τὸ εὖρος καὶ γεῖσος ἐπὶ τὸ χεῖλος αὐτοῦ κυκλόθεν σπιθαμῆς καὶ τοῦτο τὸ ὕψος τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου
“These are the measurements of the altar by cubits (the cubit is a cubit and a hand width): the bottom shall be a cubit, and the width a cubit, and its border around its edge a span; and this shall be the base of the altar.
14 ἐκ βάθους τῆς ἀρχῆς τοῦ κοιλώματος αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὸ ἱλαστήριον τὸ μέγα τὸ ὑποκάτωθεν πηχῶν δύο καὶ τὸ εὖρος πήχεος καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἱλαστηρίου τοῦ μικροῦ ἐπὶ τὸ ἱλαστήριον τὸ μέγα πήχεις τέσσαρες καὶ εὖρος πῆχυς
From the bottom on the ground to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the width one cubit; and from the lesser ledge to the greater ledge shall be four cubits, and the width a cubit.
15 καὶ τὸ αριηλ πηχῶν τεσσάρων καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ αριηλ καὶ ὑπεράνω τῶν κεράτων πῆχυς
The upper altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar hearth and upward there shall be four horns.
16 καὶ τὸ αριηλ πηχῶν δώδεκα μήκους ἐπὶ πήχεις δώδεκα πλάτους τετράγωνον ἐπὶ τὰ τέσσαρα μέρη αὐτοῦ
The altar hearth shall be twelve cubits long by twelve wide, square in its four sides.
17 καὶ τὸ ἱλαστῆριον πηχῶν δέκα τεσσάρων τὸ μῆκος ἐπὶ πήχεις δέκα τέσσαρας τὸ εὖρος ἐπὶ τέσσαρα μέρη αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ γεῖσος αὐτῷ κυκλόθεν κυκλούμενον αὐτῷ ἥμισυ πήχεος καὶ τὸ κύκλωμα αὐτοῦ πῆχυς κυκλόθεν καὶ οἱ κλιμακτῆρες αὐτοῦ βλέποντες κατ’ ἀνατολάς
The ledge shall be fourteen cubits long by fourteen wide in its four sides; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and its bottom shall be a cubit around; and its steps shall look toward the east.”
18 καὶ εἶπεν πρός με υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου τάδε λέγει κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ ταῦτα τὰ προστάγματα τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ποιήσεως αὐτοῦ τοῦ ἀναφέρειν ἐπ’ αὐτοῦ ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ προσχέειν πρὸς αὐτὸ αἷμα
He said to me, “Son of man, the Lord GOD says: ‘These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they make it, to offer burnt offerings on it, and to sprinkle blood on it.
19 καὶ δώσεις τοῖς ἱερεῦσι τοῖς Λευίταις τοῖς ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματος Σαδδουκ τοῖς ἐγγίζουσι πρός με λέγει κύριος ὁ θεός τοῦ λειτουργεῖν μοι μόσχον ἐκ βοῶν περὶ ἁμαρτίας
You shall give to the Levitical priests who are of the offspring of Zadok, who are near to me, to minister to me,’ says the Lord GOD, ‘a young bull for a sin offering.
20 καὶ λήμψονται ἐκ τοῦ αἵματος αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπιθήσουσιν ἐπὶ τὰ τέσσαρα κέρατα τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς τέσσαρας γωνίας τοῦ ἱλαστηρίου καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν βάσιν κύκλῳ καὶ ἐξιλάσονται αὐτό
You shall take of its blood and put it on its four horns, and on the four corners of the ledge, and on the border all around. You shall cleanse it and make atonement for it that way.
21 καὶ λήμψονται τὸν μόσχον τὸν περὶ ἁμαρτίας καὶ κατακαυθήσεται ἐν τῷ ἀποκεχωρισμένῳ τοῦ οἴκου ἔξωθεν τῶν ἁγίων
You shall also take the bull of the sin offering, and it shall be burned in the appointed place of the house, outside of the sanctuary.
22 καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ δευτέρᾳ λήμψονται ἐρίφους δύο αἰγῶν ἀμώμους ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτίας καὶ ἐξιλάσονται τὸ θυσιαστήριον καθότι ἐξιλάσαντο ἐν τῷ μόσχῳ
“On the second day you shall offer a male goat without defect for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bull.
23 καὶ μετὰ τὸ συντελέσαι σε τὸν ἐξιλασμὸν προσοίσουσι μόσχον ἐκ βοῶν ἄμωμον καὶ κριὸν ἐκ προβάτων ἄμωμον
When you have finished cleansing it, you shall offer a young bull without defect and a ram out of the flock without defect.
24 καὶ προσοίσετε ἐναντίον κυρίου καὶ ἐπιρρίψουσιν οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐπ’ αὐτὰ ἅλα καὶ ἀνοίσουσιν αὐτὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα τῷ κυρίῳ
You shall bring them near to the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt on them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering to the LORD.
25 ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ποιήσεις ἔριφον ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτίας καθ’ ἡμέραν καὶ μόσχον ἐκ βοῶν καὶ κριὸν ἐκ προβάτων ἄμωμα ποιήσουσιν
“Seven days you shall prepare every day a goat for a sin offering. They shall also prepare a young bull and a ram out of the flock, without defect.
26 ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας καὶ ἐξιλάσονται τὸ θυσιαστήριον καὶ καθαριοῦσιν αὐτὸ καὶ πλήσουσιν χεῖρας αὐτῶν
Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify it. So shall they consecrate it.
27 καὶ ἔσται ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας τῆς ὀγδόης καὶ ἐπέκεινα ποιήσουσιν οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα ὑμῶν καὶ τὰ τοῦ σωτηρίου ὑμῶν καὶ προσδέξομαι ὑμᾶς λέγει κύριος
When they have accomplished the days, it shall be that on the eighth day and onward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings on the altar and your peace offerings. Then I will accept you,’ says the Lord GOD.”
