Hiezechielis Prophetæ 45
1 Cumque cœperitis terram dividere sortito, separate primitias Domino, sanctificatum de terra, longitudine vigintiquinque millia, et latitudine decem millia: sanctificatum erit in omni termino eius per circuitum.
“‘“Moreover, when you divide by lot the land for inheritance, you shall offer an offering to the LORD, a holy portion of the land. The length shall be the length of twenty-five thousand reeds, and the width shall be ten thousand. It shall be holy in all its border all around.
2 Et erit ex omni parte sanctificatum quingentos per quingentos, quadrifariam per circuitum: et quinquaginta cubitis in suburbana eius per gyrum.
Of this there shall be a five hundred by five hundred square for the holy place, and fifty cubits for its pasture lands all around.
3 Et a mensura ista mensurabis longitudinem vigintiquinque millium, et latitudinem decem millium, et in ipso erit templum, Sanctumque Sanctorum.
Of this measure you shall measure a length of twenty-five thousand, and a width of ten thousand. In it shall be the sanctuary, which is most holy.
4 Sanctificatum de terra erit sacerdotibus ministris sanctuarii, qui accedunt ad ministerium Domini: et erit eis locus in domos, et in sanctuarium sanctitatis.
It is a holy portion of the land; it shall be for the priests, the ministers of the sanctuary, who come near to minister to the LORD. It shall be a place for their houses and a holy place for the sanctuary.
5 Vigintiquinque autem millia longitudinis, et decem millia latitudinis erunt Levitis, qui ministrant domui: ipsi possidebunt viginti gazophylacia.
Twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width shall be for the Levites, the ministers of the house, as a possession for themselves, for twenty rooms.
6 Et possessionem civitatis dabitis quinque millia latitudinis, et longitudinis vigintiquinque millia secundum separationem sanctuarii, omni domui Israel.
“‘“You shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand cubits wide and twenty-five thousand long, side by side with the offering of the holy portion. It shall be for the whole house of Israel.
7 Principi quoque hinc et inde in separationem sanctuarii, et in possessionem civitatis, contra faciem separationis sanctuarii, et contra faciem possessionis urbis: a latere Maris usque ad Mare, et a latere Orientis usque ad Orientem: Longitudinis autem iuxta unamquamque partem a termino Occidentali usque ad terminum Orientalem.
“‘“What is for the prince shall be on the one side and on the other side of the holy allotment and of the possession of the city, in front of the holy allotment and in front of the possession of the city, on the west side westward, and on the east side eastward, and in length corresponding to one of the portions, from the west border to the east border.
8 De terra erit ei possessio in Israel: et non depopulabuntur ultra principes populum meum: sed terram dabunt domui Israel secundum tribus eorum.
In the land it shall be to him for a possession in Israel. My princes shall no more oppress my people, but they shall give the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes.”
9 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Sufficiat vobis principes Israel: iniquitatem et rapinas intermittite, et iudicium et iustitiam facite, separate confinia vestra a populo meo, ait Dominus Deus.
“‘The Lord GOD says: “Enough you, princes of Israel! Remove violence and plunder, and execute justice and righteousness! Stop dispossessing my people!” says the Lord GOD.
10 Statera iusta, et ephi iustum, et batus iustus erit vobis.
“You shall have just balances, a just ephah, and a just bath.
11 Ephi, et batus æqualia, et unius mensuræ erunt: ut capiat decimam partem cori batus, et decimam partem cori ephi: iuxta mensuram cori erit æqua libratio eorum.
The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, that the bath may contain one tenth of a homer, and the ephah one tenth of a homer. Its measure shall be the same as the homer.
12 Siclus autem viginti obolos habet. Porro viginti sicli, et vigintiquinque sicli, et quindecim sicli, mnam faciunt.
The shekel shall be twenty gerahs. Twenty shekels plus twenty-five shekels plus fifteen shekels shall be your mina.
13 Et hæ sunt primitiæ, quas tolletis: sextam partem ephi de coro frumenti, et sextam partem ephi de coro hordei.
“‘“This is the offering that you shall offer: the sixth part of an ephah from a homer of wheat, and you shall give the sixth part of an ephah from a homer of barley,
14 Mensura quoque olei, batus olei, decima pars cori est: et decem bati corum faciunt: quia decem bati implent corum.
and the set portion of oil, of the bath of oil, one tenth of a bath out of the cor, which is ten baths, even a homer (for ten baths are a homer),
15 Et arietem unum de grege ducentorum de his, quæ nutriunt Israel in sacrificium, et in holocaustum, et in pacifica, ad expiandum pro eis, ait Dominus Deus.
and one lamb of the flock out of two hundred, from the well-watered pastures of Israel—for a meal offering, for a burnt offering, and for peace offerings, to make atonement for them,” says the Lord GOD.
16 Omnis populus terræ tenebitur primitiis his principi in Israel.
“All the people of the land shall give to this offering for the prince in Israel.
17 Et super principem erunt holocausta, et sacrificium, et libamina in sollemnitatibus, et in Calendis, et in Sabbatis, et in universis sollemnitatibus domus Israel: ipse faciet pro peccato sacrificium, et holocaustum, et pacifica ad expiandum pro domo Israel.
It shall be the prince’s part to give the burnt offerings, the meal offerings, and the drink offerings, in the feasts, and on the new moons, and on the Sabbaths, in all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel. He shall prepare the sin offering, the meal offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel.”
18 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: In primo mense, una mensis sumes vitulum de armento immaculatum, et expiabis sanctuarium.
“‘The Lord GOD says: “In the first month, on the first day of the month, you shall take a young bull without defect, and you shall cleanse the sanctuary.
19 Et tollet sacerdos de sanguine quod erit pro peccato: et ponet in postibus domus, et in quattuor angulis crepidinis altaris, et in postibus portæ atrii interioris.
The priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering and put it on the door posts of the house, and on the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and on the posts of the gate of the inner court.
20 Et sic facies in septima mensis pro unoquoque, qui ignoravit, et errore deceptus est, et expiabis pro domo.
So you shall do on the seventh day of the month for everyone who errs, and for him who is simple. So you shall make atonement for the house.
21 In primo mense, quartadecima die mensis erit vobis Paschæ sollemnitas: septem diebus azyma comedentur.
“‘“In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you shall have the Passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten.
22 Et faciet princeps in die illa pro se, et pro universo populo terræ, vitulum pro peccato.
On that day the prince shall prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bull for a sin offering.
23 Et in septem dierum sollemnitate faciet holocaustum Domino septem vitulos, et septem arietes immaculatos quotidie septem diebus: et pro peccato hircum caprarum quotidie.
The seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to the LORD, seven bulls and seven rams without defect daily the seven days; and a male goat daily for a sin offering.
24 Et sacrificium ephi per vitulum, et ephi per arietem faciet: et olei hin per singula ephi.
He shall prepare a meal offering, an ephah for a bull, an ephah for a ram, and a hin of oil to an ephah.
25 Septimo mense, quintadecima die mensis in sollemnitate faciet sicut supra dicta sunt per septem dies: tam pro peccato, quam pro holocausto, et in sacrificio, et in oleo.
“‘“In the seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month, during the feast, he shall do like that for seven days. He shall make the same provision for sin offering, the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the oil.”
