Hiezechielis Prophetæ 42
1 Et eduxit me in atrium exterius, per viam ducentem ad aquilonem, et introduxit me in gazophylacium quod erat contra separatum ædificium, et contra ædem vergentem ad aquilonem.
And he brings me forth to the outer court, the way northward, and he brings me into the chamber that [is] opposite the separate place, and that [is] opposite the building at the north.
2 In facie longitudinis, centum cubitos ostii aquilonis, et latitudinis quinquaginta cubitos,
At the front of the length [is] one hundred cubits [at] the north opening, and the breadth—fifty cubits.
3 contra viginti cubitos atrii interioris, et contra pavimentum stratum lapide atrii exterioris, ubi erat porticus juncta porticui triplici.
Opposite the twenty [cubits] that are of the inner court, and opposite the pavement that [is] of the outer court, [is] gallery [with] face toward gallery, in the three [stories].
4 Et ante gazophylacia deambulatio decem cubitorum latitudinis, ad interiora respiciens viæ cubiti unius. Et ostia eorum ad aquilonem:
And at the front of the chambers [is] a walk of ten cubits in breadth to the inner part, a way of one cubit, and their openings [are] at the north.
5 ubi erant gazophylacia in superioribus humiliora, quia supportabant porticus quæ ex illis eminebant de inferioribus, et de mediis ædificii.
And the upper chambers [are] short, for the galleries contain more than these, than the lower, and than the middle one, of the building;
6 Tristega enim erant, et non habebant columnas, sicut erant columnæ atriorum: propterea eminebant de inferioribus, et de mediis a terra cubitis quinquaginta.
for they [are] threefold, and they have no pillars as the pillars of the court, therefore it has been kept back—more than the lower and than the middle one—from the ground.
7 Et peribolus exterior secundum gazophylacia, quæ erant in via atrii exterioris ante gazophylacia: longitudo ejus quinquaginta cubitorum:
As for the wall that [is] at the outside, alongside the chambers, the way of the outer-court at the front of the chambers, its length [is] fifty cubits;
8 quia longitudo erat gazophylaciorum atrii exterioris quinquaginta cubitorum, et longitudo ante faciem templi, centum cubitorum.
for the length of the chambers that [are] in the outer court [is] fifty cubits, and of those on the front of the temple—one hundred cubits.
9 Et erat subter gazophylacia hæc introitus ab oriente, ingredientium in ea de atrio exteriori.
And under these chambers [is] the entrance from the east, in one’s going into them from the outer court.
10 In latitudine periboli atrii quod erat contra viam orientalem, in faciem ædificii separati, et erant ante ædificium gazophylacia.
In the breadth of the wall of the court eastward, to the front of the separate place, and to the front of the building, [are] chambers.
11 Et via ante faciem eorum, juxta similitudinem gazophylaciorum quæ erant in via aquilonis: secundum longitudinem eorum, sic et latitudo eorum, et omnis introitus eorum, et similitudines, et ostia eorum.
And the way before them [is] as the appearance of the chambers that [are] northward, according to their length so [is] their breadth, and all their outlets, and according to their fashions, and according to their openings.
12 Secundum ostia gazophylaciorum, quæ erant in via respiciente ad notum: ostium in capite viæ, quæ via erat ante vestibulum separatum per viam orientalem ingredientibus.
And according to the openings of the chambers that [are] southward [is] an opening at the head of the way, the way directly in the front of the wall eastward in entering them.
13 Et dixit ad me: Gazophylacia aquilonis, et gazophylacia austri, quæ sunt ante ædificium separatum, hæc sunt gazophylacia sancta, in quibus vescuntur sacerdotes qui appropinquant ad Dominum in Sancta sanctorum: ibi ponent Sancta sanctorum et oblationem pro peccato et pro delicto: locus enim sanctus est.
And he says to me, “The north chambers, the south chambers, that [are] at the front of the separate place, they [are] holy chambers, where the priests (who [are] near to YHWH) eat the most holy things, there they place the most holy things, and the present, and the sin-offering, and the guilt-offering, for the place [is] holy.
14 Cum autem ingressi fuerint sacerdotes, non egredientur de sanctis in atrium exterius: et ibi reponent vestimenta sua in quibus ministrant, quia sancta sunt, vestienturque vestimentis aliis: et sic procedent ad populum.
In the priests’ going in, they do not come out from the sanctuary to the outer court, and there they place their garments with which they minister, for they [are] holy, and have put on other garments, and have drawn near to that which [is] for the people.”
15 Cumque complesset mensuras domus interioris, eduxit me per viam portæ quæ respiciebat ad viam orientalem: et mensus est eam undique per circuitum.
And he has finished the measurements of the inner house, and has brought me forth the way of the gate whose front [is] eastward, and he has measured it all around.
16 Mensus est autem contra ventum orientalem calamo mensuræ, quingentos calamos in calamo mensuræ per circuitum.
He has measured the east side with the measuring-reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring-reed all around.
17 Et mensus est contra ventum aquilonis quingentos calamos in calamo mensuræ per gyrum.
He has measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed all around.
18 Et ad ventum australem mensus est quingentos calamos in calamo mensuræ per circuitum.
The south side he has measured, five hundred reeds, with the measuring-reed.
19 Et ad ventum occidentalem mensus est quingentos calamos in calamo mensuræ.
He has turned around to the west side, he has measured five hundred reeds with the measuring-reed.
20 Per quatuor ventos mensus est murum ejus undique per circuitum, longitudinem quingentorum cubitorum, et latitudinem quingentorum cubitorum, dividentem inter sanctuarium et vulgi locum.
At the four sides he has measured it; it had a wall all around, the length—five hundred, and the breadth—five hundred, to separate between the holy and the profane place.
