Hiezechielis Prophetæ 42
1 Et eduxit me in atrium exterius per viam ducentem ad Aquilonem, et introduxit me in gazophylacium, quod erat contra separatum aedificium, et contra aedem vergentem ad Aquilonem.
Then the man led me out northward into the outer court, and he brought me to the group of chambers opposite the temple courtyard and the outer wall on the north side.
2 In facie longitudinis, centum cubitos ostii Aquilonis: et latitudinis quinquaginta cubitos,
The building with the door facing north was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide.
3 contra viginti cubitos atrii interioris, et contra pavimentum stratum lapide atrii exterioris, ubi erat porticus iuncta porticui triplici.
Gallery faced gallery in three levels opposite the twenty cubits that belonged to the inner court and opposite the pavement that belonged to the outer court.
4 Et ante gazophylacia deambulatio decem cubitorum latitudinis, ad interiora respiciens viae cubiti unius. Et ostia eorum ad Aquilonem:
In front of the chambers was an inner walkway ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long. Their doors were on the north.
5 Ubi erant gazophylacia in superioribus humiliora: quia supportabant porticus, quae ex illis eminebant de inferioribus, et de mediis aedificii.
Now the upper chambers were smaller because the galleries took more space from the chambers on the lower and middle floors of the building.
6 Tristega enim erant, et non habebant columnas, sicut erant columnae atriorum: propterea eminebant de inferioribus, et de mediis a terra cubitis quinquaginta.
For they were arranged in three stories, and unlike the courts, they had no pillars. So the upper chambers were set back further than the lower and middle floors.
7 Et peribolus exterior secundum gazophylacia, quae erant in via atrii exterioris ante gazophylacia: longitudo eius quinquaginta cubitorum.
An outer wall in front of the chambers was fifty cubits long and ran parallel to the chambers and the outer court.
8 Quia longitudo erat gazophylaciorum atrii exterioris quinquaginta cubitorum: et longitudo ante faciem templi, centum cubitorum.
For the chambers on the outer court were fifty cubits long, while those facing the temple were a hundred cubits long.
9 Et erat subter gazophylacia haec introitus ab Oriente ingredientium in ea de atrio exteriori.
And below these chambers was the entrance on the east side as one enters them from the outer court.
10 In latitudine periboli atrii, quod erat contra viam Orientalem, in faciem aedificii separati, et erant ante aedificium gazophylacia.
On the south side along the length of the wall of the outer court were chambers adjoining the courtyard and opposite the building,
11 Et via ante faciem eorum iuxta similitudinem gazophylaciorum, quae erant in via Aquilonis: secundum longitudinem eorum, sic et latitudo eorum: et omnis introitus eorum, et similitudines, et ostia eorum.
with a passageway in front of them, just like the chambers that were on the north. They had the same length and width, with similar exits and dimensions.
12 secundum ostia gazophylaciorum, quae erant in via respiciente ad Notum: ostium in capite viae: quae via erat ante vestibulum separatum per viam Orientalem ingredientibus.
And corresponding to the doors of the chambers that were facing south, there was a door in front of the walkway that was parallel to the wall extending eastward.
13 Et dixit ad me: Gazophylacia Aquilonis, et gazophylacia Austri, quae sunt ante aedificium separatum: haec 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.
Then the man said to me, “The north and south chambers facing the temple courtyard are the holy chambers where the priests who approach the LORD will eat the most holy offerings. There they will place the most holy offerings—the grain offerings, the sin offerings, and the guilt offerings—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.
Once the priests have entered the holy area, they must not go out into the outer court until they have left behind the garments in which they minister, for these are holy. They are to put on other clothes before they approach the places that are for the people.”
15 Cumque complesset mensuras domus interioris, eduxit me per viam portae, quae respiciebat ad viam Orientalem: et mensus est eam undique per circuitum.
Now when the man had finished measuring the interior of the temple area, he led me out by the gate that faced east, and he measured the area all around:
16 Mensus est autem contra ventum Orientalem calamo mensurae, quingentos calamos in calamo mensurae per circuitum.
With a measuring rod he measured the east side to be five hundred cubits long.
17 Et mensus est contra ventum Aquilonis quingentos calamos in calamo mensurae per gyrum.
He measured the north side to be five hundred cubits long.
18 Et ad ventum Australem mensus est quingentos calamos in calamo mensurae per circuitum.
He measured the south side to be five hundred cubits long.
19 Et ad ventum Occidentalem mensus est quingentos calamos in calamo mensurae.
And he came around and measured the west side to be five hundred cubits long.
20 Per quattuor ventos mensus est murum eius undique per circuitum, longitudinem quingentorum cubitorum, et latitudinem quingentorum cubitorum dividentem inter sanctuarium et vulgi locum.
So he measured the area on all four sides. It had a wall all around, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits wide, to separate the holy from the common.
