Hiezechielis Prophetæ 40
1 In vigesimo quinto anno transmigrationis nostræ, in exordio anni, decima mensis, quartodecimo anno postquam percussa est civitas: in ipsa hac die facta est super me manus Domini, et adduxit me illuc.
In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth [day] of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day, the hand of Jehovah was upon me, and he brought me thither.
2 In visionibus Dei adduxit me in terram Israel, et dimisit me super montem excelsum nimis: super quem erat quasi ædificium civitatis vergentis ad Austrum.
In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me down upon a very high mountain, whereon was as it were the frame of a city on the south.
3 Et introduxit me illuc: et ecce vir, cuius erat species quasi species æris, et funiculus lineus in manu eius, et calamus mensuræ in manu eius: stabat autem in porta.
And he brought me thither; and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.
4 Et locutus est ad me idem vir: Fili hominis vide oculis tuis, et auribus tuis audi, et pone cor tuum in omnia, quæ ego ostendam tibi: quia ut ostendantur tibi adductus es huc: annuncia omnia, quæ tu vides, domui Israel.
And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thy heart upon all that I shall show thee; for, to the intent that I may show them unto thee, art thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.
5 Et ecce murus forinsecus in circuitu domus undique, et in manu viri calamus mensuræ sex cubitorum, et palmo: et mensus est latitudinem ædificii calamo uno, altitudinem quoque calamo uno.
And, behold, a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed six cubits long, of a cubit and a handbreadth each: so he measured the thickness of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.
6 Et venit ad portam quæ respiciebat viam orientalem, et ascendit per gradus eius: et mensus est limen portæ calamo uno latitudinem, id est, limen unum calamo uno in latitudine:
Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east, and went up the steps thereof: and he measured the threshold of the gate, one reed broad; and the other threshold, one reed broad.
7 et thalamum uno calamo in longum, et uno calamo in latum: et inter thalamos, quinque cubitos:
And every lodge was one reed long, and one reed broad; and [the space] between the lodges was five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate toward the house was one reed.
8 et limen portæ iuxta vestibulum portæ intrinsecus, calamo uno.
He measured also the porch of the gate toward the house, one reed.
9 Et mensus est vestibulum portæ octo cubitorum, et frontem eius duobus cubitis: vestibulum autem portæ erat intrinsecus.
Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was toward the house.
10 Porro thalami portæ ad viam Orientalem, tres hinc et tres inde: mensura una trium, et mensura una frontium ex utraque parte.
And the lodges of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side.
11 Et mensus est latitudinem liminis portæ, decem cubitorum: et longitudinem portæ, tredecim cubitorum:
And he measured the breadth of the opening of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits;
12 Et marginem ante thalamos cubiti unius: et cubitus unus finis utrimque: thalami autem, sex cubitorum erant hinc et inde.
and a border before the lodges, one cubit [on this side], and a border, one cubit on that side; and the lodges, six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.
13 Et mensus est portam a tecto thalami, usque ad tectum eius, latitudinem vigintiquinque cubitorum: ostium contra ostium.
And he measured the gate from the roof of the one lodge to the roof of the other, a breadth of five and twenty cubits; door against door.
14 Et fecit frontes per sexaginta cubitos: et ad frontem atrium portæ undique per circuitum.
He made also posts, threescore cubits; and the court [reached] unto the posts, round about the gate.
15 Et ante faciem portæ, quæ pertingebat usque ad faciem vestibuli portæ interioris, quinquaginta cubitos.
And [from] the forefront of the gate at the entrance unto the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were fifty cubits.
16 Et fenestras obliquas in thalamis, et in frontibus eorum, quæ erant intra portam undique per circuitum: similiter autem erant et in vestibulis fenestræ per gyrum intrinsecus, et ante frontes pictura palmarum.
And there were closed windows to the lodges, and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches; and windows were round about inward; and upon [each] post were palm-trees.
17 Et eduxit me ad atrium exterius, et ecce gazophylacia, et pavimentum stratum lapide in atrio per circuitum: triginta gazophylacia in circuitu pavimenti.
Then brought he me into the outer court; and, lo, there were chambers and a pavement, made for the court round about: thirty chambers were upon the pavement.
18 Et pavimentum in fronte portarum secundum longitudinem portarum erat inferius.
And the pavement was by the side of the gates, answerable unto the length of the gates, even the lower pavement.
19 Et mensus est latitudinem a facie portæ inferioris usque ad frontem atrii interioris extrinsecus, centum cubitos ad Orientem, et ad Aquilonem.
Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate unto the forefront of the inner court without, a hundred cubits, [both] on the east and on the north.
20 Portam quoque, quæ respiciebat viam Aquilonis atrii exterioris, mensus est tam in longitudine, quam in latitudine.
And the gate of the outer court whose prospect is toward the north, he measured the length thereof and the breadth thereof.
21 Et thalamos eius tres hinc, et tres inde: et frontem eius, et vestibulum eius secundum mensuram portæ prioris, quinquaginta cubitorum longitudinem eius, et latitudinem viginti quinque cubitorum.
And the lodges thereof were three on this side and three on that side; and the posts thereof and the arches thereof were after the measure of the first gate: the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
22 Fenestræ autem eius, et vestibulum, et sculpturæ secundum mensuram portæ, quæ respiciebat ad Orientem: et septem graduum erat ascensus eius, et vestibulum ante eam.
And the windows thereof, and the arches thereof, and the palm-trees thereof, were after the measure of the gate whose prospect is toward the east; and they went up unto it by seven steps; and the arches thereof were before them.
23 Et porta atrii interioris contra portam Aquilonis, et Orientalem: et mensus est a porta usque ad portam centum cubitos.
And there was a gate to the inner court over against the [other] gate, [both] on the north and on the east; and he measured from gate to gate a hundred cubits.
24 Et eduxit me ad viam australem, et ecce porta, quæ respiciebat ad Austrum: et mensus est frontem eius, et vestibulum eius iuxta mensuras superiores.
And he led me toward the south; and, behold, a gate toward the south: and he measured the posts thereof and the arches thereof according to these measures.
25 Et fenestras eius, et vestibula in circuitu, sicut fenestras ceteras: quinquaginta cubitorum longitudine, et latitudine vigintiquinque cubitorum.
And there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about, like those windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
26 Et in gradibus septem ascendebatur ad eam: et vestibulum ante fores eius: et cælatæ palmæ erant, una hinc, et altera inde in fronte eius.
And there were seven steps to go up to it, and the arches thereof were before them; and it had palm-trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon the posts thereof.
27 Et porta atrii interioris in via australi: et mensus est a porta usque ad portam in via australi, centum cubitos.
And there was a gate to the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south a hundred cubits.
28 Et introduxit me in atrium interius ad portam australem: et mensus est portam iuxta mensuras superiores.
Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he measured the south gate according to these measures;
29 Thalamum eius, et frontem eius, et vestibulum eius eisdem mensuris: et fenestras eius, et vestibulum eius in circuitu quinquaginta cubitos longitudinis, et latitudinis vigintiquinque cubitos.
and the lodges thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, according to these measures: and there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about; it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
30 Et vestibulum per gyrum longitudine vigintiquinque cubitorum, et latitudine quinque cubitorum.
And there were arches round about, five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad.
31 Et vestibulum eius ad atrium exterius, et palmas eius in fronte: et octo gradus erant, quibus ascendebatur per eam.
And the arches thereof were toward the outer court; and palm-trees were upon the posts thereof: and the ascent to it had eight steps.
32 Et introduxit me in atrium interius per viam orientalem: et mensus est portam secundum mensuras superiores.
And he brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the gate according to these measures;
33 Thalamum eius, et frontem eius, et vestibulum eius sicut supra: et fenestras eius, et vestibula eius in circuitu, longitudine quinquaginta cubitorum, et latitudine vigintiquinque cubitorum.
and the lodges thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, according to these measures: and there were windows therein and in the arches thereof round about; it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
34 Et vestibulum eius, id est atrii exterioris: et palmæ cælatæ in fronte eius hinc et inde: et in octo gradibus ascensus eius.
And the arches thereof were toward the outer court; and palm-trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the ascent to it had eight steps.
35 Et introduxit me ad portam, quæ respiciebat ad Aquilonem: et mensus est secundum mensuras superiores.
And he brought me to the north gate: and he measured [it] according to these measures;
36 Thalamum eius, et frontem eius, et vestibulum eius, et fenestras eius per circuitum, longitudine quinquaginta cubitorum, et latitudine vigintiquinque cubitorum.
the lodges thereof, the posts thereof, and the arches thereof: and there were windows therein round about; the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
37 Et vestibulum eius respiciebat ad atrium exterius: et cælatura palmarum in fronte eius hinc et inde: et in octo gradibus ascensus eius.
And the posts thereof were toward the outer court; and palm-trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the ascent to it had eight steps.
38 Et per singula gazophylacia ostium in frontibus portarum: ibi lavabant holocaustum.
And a chamber with the door thereof was by the posts at the gates; there they washed the burnt-offering.
39 Et in vestibulo portæ, duæ mensæ hinc, et duæ mensæ inde: ut immoletur super eas holocaustum, et pro peccato, et pro delicto.
And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slay thereon the burnt-offering and the sin-offering and the trespass-offering.
40 Et ad latus exterius, quod ascendit ad ostium portæ, quæ pergit ad Aquilonem, duæ mensæ: et ad latus alterum ante vestibulum portæ, duæ mensæ.
And on the [one] side without, as one goeth up to the entry of the gate toward the north, were two tables; and on the other side, which belonged to the porch of the gate, were two tables.
41 Quattuor mensæ hinc, et quattuor mensæ inde: per latera portæ octo mensæ erant, super quas immolabant.
Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon they slew [the sacrifices].
42 Quattuor autem mensæ ad holocaustum, de lapidibus quadris extructæ: longitudine cubiti unius et dimidii: et latitudine cubiti unius et dimidii: et altitudine cubiti unius: super quas ponant vasa, in quibus immolatur holocaustum, et victima.
And there were four tables for the burnt-offering, of hewn stone, a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high; whereupon they laid the instruments wherewith they slew the burnt-offering and the sacrifice.
43 Et labia earum palmi unius, reflexa intrinsecus per circuitum: super mensas autem carnes oblationis.
And the hooks, a handbreadth long, were fastened within round about: and upon the tables was the flesh of the oblation.
44 Et extra portam interiorem gazophylacia cantorum in atrio interiori, quod erat in latere portæ respicientis ad Aquilonem: et facies eorum contra viam Australem, una ex latere portæ Orientalis, quæ respiciebat ad viam Aquilonis.
And without the inner gate were chambers for the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate; and their prospect was toward the south; one at the side of the east gate having the prospect toward the north.
45 Et dixit ad me: Hoc est gazophylacium, quod respicit viam Meridianam, sacerdotum erit, qui excubant in custodiis templi.
And he said unto me, This chamber, whose prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house;
46 Porro gazophylacium, quod respicit ad viam Aquilonis, sacerdotum erit, qui excubant ad ministerium altaris. isti sunt filii Sadoc, qui accedunt de filiis Levi ad Dominum ut ministrent ei.
and the chamber whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok, who from among the sons of Levi come near to Jehovah to minister unto him.
47 Et mensus est atrium longitudine centum cubitorum, et latitudine centum cubitorum per quadrum: et altare ante faciem templi.
And he measured the court, a hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar was before the house.
48 Et introduxit me in vestibulum templi: et mensus est vestibulum quinque cubitis hinc, et quinque cubitis inde: et latitudinem portæ trium cubitorum hinc, et trium cubitorum inde.
Then he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side.
49 Longitudinem autem vestibuli viginti cubitorum, et latitudinem undecim cubitorum, et octo gradibus ascendebatur ad eam. Et columnæ erant in frontibus: una hinc, et altera inde.
The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; even by the steps whereby they went up to it: and there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
