エゼキエル書 42
1 彼はわたしを北の方の内庭に連れ出し、庭に向かった北の方の建物に対する室に導いた。
And he brought me into the inner court eastward, opposite the northern gate: and he brought me in, and behold five chambers near the vacant space, and near the northern partition,
2 北側にある建物の長さは百キュビト、幅は五十キュビトである。
a hundred cubits in length toward the north, and in breadth fifty,
3 二十キュビトの内庭に続いて、外庭の敷石に面し、三階になった廊下があった。
ornamented accordingly as the gates of the inner court, and arranged accordingly as the peristyles of the outer court, [with] triple porticos fronting one another.
4 また室の前に幅十キュビト、長さ百キュビトの通路があった。その戸は北に向かっていた。
And in front of the chambers was a walk ten cubits in breadth, the length [reaching] to a hundred cubits; and their doors were northward.
5 その建物の上の室は、下の室と中の室よりも狭かった。それは廊下のために、場所を取ったためである。
And the upper walks were in like manner: for the peristyle projected from it, [even] from the range of columns below, and [there was] a space between; so [were there] a peristyle and a space between, and so [were there] two porticos.
6 これらは三階であって、外庭の柱のような柱は持たなかった。それで上の室は、下および中の室よりも狭いのである。
For they were triple, and they had not pillars like the pillars of the outer ones: therefore they projected from the lower ones and the middle ones from the ground.
7 室の外に沿ってかきがあり、それは他の室に向かって外庭に至る。その長さは五十キュビト、
And [there was] light without, corresponding to the chambers of the outer court looking toward the front of the northern chambers; the length [of them was] fifty cubits.
8 外庭の室の長さも五十キュビトあった。宮に面する所は百キュビトであった。
For the length of the chambers looking toward the inner court was fifty cubits, and these are the ones that front the others; the whole was a hundred cubits.
9 これらの室の下に外庭からこれにはいるように、東側に入口があった。
And [there were] doors of these chambers for an outlet toward the east, so that one should go through them out of the outer court,
10 外側のかきは、外庭に始まっている。南の方で、庭と建物との前に、室があった。
by the opening of the walk at the corner; and the south parts were toward the south, toward the remaining space, and toward the partition, and [so were] the chambers.
11 北向きの室と同様に、その前に通路があり、その長さも幅も同様で、その出口もその配置もその戸も同様である。
And the walk was in front of them, according to the measures of the chambers toward the north, both according to the length of them, and according to the breadth of them, and according to all their openings, an according to all their turnings, and according to their lights, and according to their doors.
12 南の室の下に、人々が通路にはいる東の入口があり、これに対して隔てのかきがあった。
[So were the measures] of the chambers toward the south, and according to the doors at the entrance of the walk, as it were the distance of a reed for light, and eastward as one went in by them.
13 時に彼はわたしに言った、「庭に面した北の室と、南の室とは、聖なる室であって、主に近く仕える祭司たちが、最も聖なるものを食べる場所である。その場所に彼らは、最も聖なるもの、すなわち素祭、罪祭、愆祭のものを置かなければならない。その場所は聖だからである。
And he said to me, The chambers toward the north, and the chambers toward the south, in front of the void spaces, these are the chambers of the sanctuary, wherein the priests the sons of Sadduc, who draw night to the Lord, shall eat the most holy things: and there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat-offering, and the sin-offerings, and the trespass-offerings; because the place is holy.
14 祭司たちが、聖所にはいった時は、そこから外庭に出てはならない。彼らは勤めを行う衣服を、その所に置かなければならない。これは聖だからである。彼らは民衆に属する場所に近づく前に、他の衣服を着けなければならない」。
None shall go in thither except the priests, [and] they shall not go forth of the holy place into the outer court, that they that draw nigh [to me] may be continually holy, and may not touch their garments in which they minister, [with defilement], for they are holy; and they shall put on other garments whenever they come in contact with the people.
15 彼らは宮の庭の内部を測り終えると、東向きの門の道から、わたしを連れ出して、宮の周囲を測った。
So the measurement of the house within was accomplished: and he brought me forth by the way of the gate that looks eastward, and measured the plan of the house round about in order.
16 彼が測りざおで、東側を測ると、測りざおで五百キュビトあり、
And he stood behind the gate looking eastward, and measured five hundred [cubits] with the measuring reed.
17 また転じて、北側を測ると、測りざおで五百キュビトあり、
And he turned to the north and measured in front of the north [side] five hundred cubits with the measuring reed.
18 また転じて、南側を測ると、測りざおで五百キュビトあり、
And he turned to the west, and measured in front of the west side, five hundred [cubits] with the measuring reed.
19 また転じて、西側を測ると、測りざおで五百キュビトあった。
And he turned to the south, and measured in front of the south side, five hundred [cubits] by the measuring reed.
20 このように、四方を測ったが、その周囲に、長さ五百キュビト、幅五百キュビトのかきがあって、聖所と、俗の所との隔てをなしていた。
The [four sides he measured] by the same reed, and he marked out the house and the circumference of the parts round about, [a space] of five hundred [cubits] eastward, and a breadth of five hundred cubits, to make a division between the sanctuary and the outer wall, that [belonged to] the design of the house.
