Hiezechielis Prophetæ 46

1 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Porta atrii interioris, quae respicit ad Orientem, erit clausa sex diebus, in quibus opus fit: die autem Sabbati aperietur, sed et in die Calendarum aperietur.

Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath day it shall be opened, and on the day of the new moon it shall be opened.

2 Et intrabit princeps per viam vestibuli portae deforis, et stabit in limine portae: et facient sacerdotes holocaustum eius, et pacifica eius: et adorabit super limen portae, et egredietur: porta autem non claudetur usque ad vesperam.

And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate without, and shall stand by the post of the gate; and the priests shall prepare his burnt-offering and his peace-offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.

3 Et adorabit populus terrae ad ostium portae illius in Sabbatis, et in Calendis coram Domino.

And the people of the land shall worship at the door of that gate before Jehovah on the sabbaths and on the new moons.

4 Holocaustum autem hoc offeret princeps Domino: in die Sabbati sex agnos immaculatos, et arietem immaculatum.

And the burnt-offering that the prince shall offer unto Jehovah shall be on the sabbath day six lambs without blemish and a ram without blemish;

5 Et sacrificium ephi per arietem: in agnis autem sacrificium quod dederit manus eius: et olei hin per singula ephi.

and the meal-offering shall be an ephah for the ram, and the meal-offering for the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

6 In die autem Calendarum vitulum de armento immaculatum: et sex agni, et arietes immaculati erunt.

And on the day of the new moon it shall be a young bullock without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram; they shall be without blemish:

7 Et ephi per vitulum, ephi quoque per arietem faciet sacrificium: de agnis autem, sicut invenerit manus eius: et olei hin per singula ephi.

and he shall prepare a meal-offering, an ephah for the bullock, and an ephah for the ram, and for the lambs according as he is able, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

8 Cumque ingressurus est princeps, per viam vestibuli portae ingrediatur, et per eamdem viam exeat.

And when the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and he shall go forth by the way thereof.

9 Et cum intrabit populus terrae in conspectu Domini in sollemnitatibus: qui ingreditur per portam Aquilonis, ut adoret, egrediatur per viam portae Meridianae: porro qui ingreditur per viam portae Meridianae, egrediatur per viam portae Aquilonis: non revertetur per viam portae, per quam ingressus est, sed e regione illius egredietur.

But when the people of the land shall come before Jehovah in the appointed feasts, he that entereth by the way of the north gate to worship shall go forth by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go forth straight before him.

10 Princeps autem in medio eorum cum ingredientibus ingredietur, et cum egredientibus egredietur.

And the prince, when they go in, shall go in in the midst of them; and when they go forth, they shall go forth [together].

11 Et in nundinis, et in sollemnitatibus erit sacrificium ephi per vitulum, et ephi per arietem: de agnis autem erit sacrificium sicut invenerit manus eius: et olei hin per singula ephi.

And in the feasts and in the solemnities the meal-offering shall be an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

12 Cum autem fecerit princeps spontaneum holocaustum, aut pacifica voluntaria Domino: aperietur ei porta, quae respicit ad Orientem, et faciet holocaustum suum, et pacifica sua, sicut fieri solet in die sabbati: et egredietur, claudeturque porta postquam exierit.

And when the prince shall prepare a freewill-offering, a burnt-offering or peace-offerings as a freewill-offering unto Jehovah, one shall open for him the gate that looketh toward the east; and he shall prepare his burnt-offering and his peace-offerings, as he doth on the sabbath day: then he shall go forth; and after his going forth one shall shut the gate.

13 Et agnum eiusdem anni immaculatum faciet holocaustum quotidie Domino: semper mane faciet illud.

And thou shalt prepare a lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt-offering unto Jehovah daily: morning by morning shalt thou prepare it.

14 Et faciet sacrificium super eo cata mane mane sextam partem ephi, et de oleo tertiam partem hin, ut misceatur similae: sacrificium Domino legitimum, iuge atque perpetuum.

And thou shalt prepare a meal-offering with it morning by morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of a hin of oil, to moisten the fine flour; a meal-offering unto Jehovah continually by a perpetual ordinance.

15 Faciet agnum, et sacrificium, et oleum cata mane mane, holocaustum sempiternum.

Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meal-offering, and the oil, morning by morning, for a continual burnt-offering.

16 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Si dederit princeps domum alicui de filiis suis: hereditas eius, filiorum suorum erit, possidebunt eam hereditarie.

Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: If the prince give a gift unto any of his sons, it is his inheritance, it shall belong to his sons; it is their possession by inheritance.

17 Si autem dederit legatum de hereditate sua uni servorum suorum, erit illius usque ad annum remissionis, et revertetur ad principem: hereditas autem eius, filiis eius erit.

But if he give of his inheritance a gift to one of his servants, it shall be his to the year of liberty; then it shall return to the prince; but as for his inheritance, it shall be for his sons.

18 Et non accipiet princeps de hereditate populi per violentiam, et de possessione eorum: sed de possessione sua hereditatem dabit filiis suis: ut non dispergatur populus meus unusquisque a possessione sua.

Moreover the prince shall not take of the people’s inheritance, to thrust them out of their possession; he shall give inheritance to his sons out of his own possession, that my people be not scattered every man from his possession.

19 Et introduxit me per ingressum, qui erat ex latere portae, in gazophylacia sanctuarii ad sacerdotes, quae respiciebant ad Aquilonem: et erat ibi locus vergens ad Occidentem.

Then he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers for the priests, which looked toward the north: and, behold, there was a place on the hinder part westward.

20 Et dixit ad me: Iste est locus ubi coquent sacerdotes pro peccato, et pro delicto: ubi coquent sacrificium, ut non efferant in atrium exterius, et sanctificetur populus.

And he said unto me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass-offering and the sin-offering, [and] where they shall bake the meal-offering; that they bring them not forth into the outer court, to sanctify the people.

21 Et eduxit me in atrium exterius, et circumduxit me per quattuor angulos atrii: et ecce atriolum erat in angulo atrii, atriola singula per angulos atrii.

Then he brought me forth into the outer court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and, behold, in every corner of the court there was a court.

22 In quattuor angulis atrii atriola disposita, quadraginta cubitorum per longum, et triginta per latum: mensurae unius quattuor erant.

In the four corners of the court there were courts inclosed, forty [cubits] long and thirty broad: these four in the corners were of one measure.

23 Et paries per circuitum ambiens quattuor atriola: et culinae fabricatae erant subter porticus per gyrum.

And there was a wall round about in them, round about the four, and boiling-places were made under the walls round about.

24 Et dixit ad me: Haec est domus culinarum, in qua coquent ministri domus Domini victimas populi.

Then said he unto me, These are the boiling-houses, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.
