Hiezechielis Prophetæ 42
1 et eduxit me in atrium exterius per viam ducentem ad aquilonem et eduxit me in gazofilacium 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 gazofilacia deambulatio decem cubitorum latitudinis ad interiora respiciens viae cubiti unius et ostia earum 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 gazofilacia in superioribus humiliora quia subportabant 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
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 gazofilacia quae erant in via atrii exterioris ante gazofilacia 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 gazofilaciorum 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 gazofilacia 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 facie aedificii separati et erant ante aedificium gazofilacia
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 gazofilaciorum 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 gazofilaciorum 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 gazofilacia aquilonis et gazofilacia austri quae sunt ante aedificium separatum haec sunt gazofilacia sancta in quibus vescuntur sacerdotes qui adpropinquant 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 conplesset 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 autem est 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 aquilonem 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 illud murum eius undique per circuitum longitudine quingentorum cubitorum et latitudine 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.
