Ἰεζεκιήλ 46
1 τάδε λέγει κύριος θεός πύλη ἡ ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ τῇ ἐσωτέρᾳ ἡ βλέπουσα πρὸς ἀνατολὰς ἔσται κεκλεισμένη ἓξ ἡμέρας τὰς ἐνεργούς ἐν δὲ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν σαββάτων ἀνοιχθήσεται καὶ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῆς νουμηνίας ἀνοιχθήσεται
“‘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.
2 καὶ εἰσελεύσεται ὁ ἀφηγούμενος κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ αιλαμ τῆς πύλης τῆς ἔξωθεν καὶ στήσεται ἐπὶ τὰ πρόθυρα τῆς πύλης καὶ ποιήσουσιν οἱ ἱερεῖς τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ τοῦ σωτηρίου αὐτοῦ καὶ προσκυνήσει ἐπὶ τοῦ προθύρου τῆς πύλης καὶ ἐξελεύσεται καὶ ἡ πύλη οὐ μὴ κλεισθῇ ἕως ἑσπέρας
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.
3 καὶ προσκυνήσει ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς κατὰ τὰ πρόθυρα τῆς πύλης ἐκείνης ἐν τοῖς σαββάτοις καὶ ἐν ταῖς νουμηνίαις ἐναντίον κυρίου
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.
4 καὶ τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα προσοίσει ὁ ἀφηγούμενος τῷ κυρίῳ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν σαββάτων ἓξ ἀμνοὺς ἀμώμους καὶ κριὸν ἄμωμον
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.
5 καὶ μαναα πέμμα τῷ κριῷ καὶ τοῖς ἀμνοῖς θυσίαν δόμα χειρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐλαίου τὸ ιν τῷ πέμματι
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].
6 καὶ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῆς νουμηνίας μόσχον ἄμωμον καὶ ἓξ ἀμνούς καὶ κριὸς ἄμωμος ἔσται
[Then] each day that there is a new moon, he must offer a young bull, six lambs and a ram, all with no defects.
7 καὶ πέμμα τῷ κριῷ καὶ πέμμα τῷ μόσχῳ ἔσται μαναα καὶ τοῖς ἀμνοῖς καθὼς ἐὰν ἐκποιῇ ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐλαίου τὸ ιν τῷ πέμματι
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].
8 καὶ ἐν τῷ εἰσπορεύεσθαι τὸν ἀφηγούμενον κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ αιλαμ τῆς πύλης εἰσελεύσεται καὶ κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης ἐξελεύσεται
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].
9 καὶ ὅταν εἰσπορεύηται ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς ἐναντίον κυρίου ἐν ταῖς ἑορταῖς ὁ εἰσπορευόμενος κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης τῆς πρὸς βορρᾶν προσκυνεῖν ἐξελεύσεται κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης τῆς πρὸς νότον καὶ ὁ εἰσπορευόμενος κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης τῆς πρὸς νότον ἐξελεύσεται κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης τῆς πρὸς βορρᾶν οὐκ ἀναστρέψει κατὰ τὴν πύλην ἣν εἰσελήλυθεν ἀλλ’ ἢ κατ’ εὐθὺ αὐτῆς ἐξελεύσεται
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.
10 καὶ ὁ ἀφηγούμενος ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ εἰσπορεύεσθαι αὐτοὺς εἰσελεύσεται μετ’ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐκπορεύεσθαι αὐτοὺς ἐξελεύσεται
The king must go in when the other people go in, and go out when the people go out.
11 καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἑορταῖς καὶ ἐν ταῖς πανηγύρεσιν ἔσται τὸ μαναα πέμμα τῷ μόσχῳ καὶ πέμμα τῷ κριῷ καὶ τοῖς ἀμνοῖς καθὼς ἂν ἐκποιῇ ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐλαίου τὸ ιν τῷ πέμματι
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.
12 ἐὰν δὲ ποιήσῃ ὁ ἀφηγούμενος ὁμολογίαν ὁλοκαύτωμα σωτηρίου τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ ἀνοίξει ἑαυτῷ τὴν πύλην τὴν βλέπουσαν κατ’ ἀνατολὰς καὶ ποιήσει τὸ ὁλοκαύτωμα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ τοῦ σωτηρίου αὐτοῦ ὃν τρόπον ποιεῖ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν σαββάτων καὶ ἐξελεύσεται καὶ κλείσει τὰς θύρας μετὰ τὸ ἐξελθεῖν αὐτόν
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.
13 καὶ ἀμνὸν ἐνιαύσιον ἄμωμον ποιήσει εἰς ὁλοκαύτωμα καθ’ ἡμέραν τῷ κυρίῳ πρωὶ ποιήσει αὐτόν
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.
14 καὶ μαναα ποιήσει ἐπ’ αὐτῷ τὸ πρωὶ ἕκτον τοῦ μέτρου καὶ ἐλαίου τὸ τρίτον τοῦ ιν τοῦ ἀναμεῖξαι τὴν σεμίδαλιν μαναα τῷ κυρίῳ πρόσταγμα διὰ παντός
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.
15 ποιήσετε τὸν ἀμνὸν καὶ τὸ μαναα καὶ τὸ ἔλαιον ποιήσετε τὸ πρωὶ ὁλοκαύτωμα διὰ παντός
The lamb and the offering of flour and [olive] oil must be presented to me every morning, to be completely burned on the altar.
16 τάδε λέγει κύριος θεός ἐὰν δῷ ὁ ἀφηγούμενος δόμα ἑνὶ ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῆς κληρονομίας αὐτοῦ τοῦτο τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ ἔσται κατάσχεσις ἐν κληρονομίᾳ
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.
17 ἐὰν δὲ δῷ δόμα ἑνὶ τῶν παίδων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔσται αὐτῷ ἕως τοῦ ἔτους τῆς ἀφέσεως καὶ ἀποδώσει τῷ ἀφηγουμένῳ πλὴν τῆς κληρονομίας τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ αὐτοῖς ἔσται
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.
18 καὶ οὐ μὴ λάβῃ ὁ ἀφηγούμενος ἐκ τῆς κληρονομίας τοῦ λαοῦ καταδυναστεῦσαι αὐτούς ἐκ τῆς κατασχέσεως αὐτοῦ κατακληρονομήσει τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ ὅπως μὴ διασκορπίζηται ὁ λαός μου ἕκαστος ἐκ τῆς κατασχέσεως αὐτοῦ
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.’”
19 καὶ εἰσήγαγέν με εἰς τὴν εἴσοδον τῆς κατὰ νώτου τῆς πύλης εἰς τὴν ἐξέδραν τῶν ἁγίων τῶν ἱερέων τὴν βλέπουσαν πρὸς βορρᾶν καὶ ἰδοὺ τόπος ἐκεῖ κεχωρισμένος
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].
20 καὶ εἶπεν πρός με οὗτος ὁ τόπος ἐστίν οὗ ἑψήσουσιν ἐκεῖ οἱ ἱερεῖς τὰ ὑπὲρ ἀγνοίας καὶ τὰ ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτίας καὶ ἐκεῖ πέψουσι τὸ μαναα τὸ παράπαν τοῦ μὴ ἐκφέρειν εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἐξωτέραν τοῦ ἁγιάζειν τὸν λαόν
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.”
21 καὶ ἐξήγαγέν με εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἐξωτέραν καὶ περιήγαγέν με ἐπὶ τὰ τέσσαρα μέρη τῆς αὐλῆς καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐλὴ κατὰ τὸ κλίτος τῆς αὐλῆς αὐλὴ κατὰ τὸ κλίτος τῆς αὐλῆς
Then the man brought me to the outer courtyard and led me to its four corners. In each corner I saw an enclosed area;
22 ἐπὶ τὰ τέσσαρα κλίτη τῆς αὐλῆς αὐλὴ μικρά μῆκος πηχῶν τεσσαράκοντα καὶ εὖρος πηχῶν τριάκοντα μέτρον ἓν ταῖς τέσσαρσιν
each of those areas was (70 feet/21.2 meters) long and (52-1/2 feet/15.9 meters) wide.
23 καὶ ἐξέδραι κύκλῳ ἐν αὐταῖς κύκλῳ ταῖς τέσσαρσιν καὶ μαγειρεῖα γεγονότα ὑποκάτω τῶν ἐξεδρῶν κύκλῳ
Around the inside of each of those enclosed areas was a stone ledge, with places to make fires all around under each ledge.
24 καὶ εἶπεν πρός με οὗτοι οἱ οἶκοι τῶν μαγειρείων οὗ ἑψήσουσιν ἐκεῖ οἱ λειτουργοῦντες τῷ οἴκῳ τὰ θύματα τοῦ λαοῦ
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.”
