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。
[in the vision] the man led me out of the inner courtyard, through [the entrance on] the north side. We entered the outer courtyard and came to a building that was built against the north [of the inner courtyard].
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。
That building was (175 feet/53 meters) long and (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) wide. Its doorway faced north.
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。
In that building were two rows of rooms, built on three levels, that faced each other. One row of rooms was built against the wall of the inner courtyard, and the other row was built against the wall facing the outer courtyard. The building was 34 feet from the temple.
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。
Between the [two] rows of rooms there was a walkway that was (17-1/2 feet/5.3 meters) wide and (175 feet/53 meters) long. All its doors were on the north side.
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。
Each of the upper rows of rooms was narrower than the row of rooms below them, [because the upper rows needed to have a walkway in front of them].
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。
The rooms on the upper levels had no pillars to support them like the ones in the courtyard. Instead, each of those row of rooms were supported by the walls of the row of rooms on the level below.
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、
The wall of the building extended (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) past the set of rooms built along the outer courtyard, separating all the rooms from the outer courtyard.
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。
The row of rooms that were along the outer courtyard was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) long, and the set of rooms that faced the temple was (175 feet/53 meters) long.
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。
The lowest row of rooms had an entrance from the outer courtyard, on the east side.
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。
On the south [side], along the wall of the outer courtyard, next to the temple courtyard, was a [a building with two] rows of rooms,
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。
with a walkway between them. Those rooms were like the rooms on the north [side]: they were the same length and width, and had the same kind of entrances.
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。
The doorways on the south side were similar to the doorways on the north side. There was an entrance in the wall that faced the doors of the set of rooms, and there was an entrance on the east side, at the end of the inside walkway.
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。
Then the man said to me, “These rooms that overlook the temple on the north and south sides are holy. Here the priests who offer sacrifices to Yahweh will [their portions of] the sacred offerings. Because these rooms are holy, they will be used to store the sacred offerings: [the grain for] the grain offerings, the offerings for the sins that people have committed, and offerings in order that people will no longer be guilty for having sinned.
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」。
When the priests leave the temple, they will not be allowed to [immediately] enter the outer courtyard. First, they must remove the clothes that they had been wearing inside the temple, because those clothes are holy. They must put on other clothes before they enter the parts [of the temple area] where the [other] people [gather].”
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。
When the man had finished measuring the inside of the temple area, he led me out through the east entrance [of the outer courtyard] and measured all the way around the temple area.
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、
He measured the four sides of the area. There was a wall around the area that was (875 feet/265 meters) long on each side.
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、
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、
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。
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。
That wall separated the [area which was] sacred/holy from the [areas that were] not sacred.
