Hiezechielis Prophetæ 43
1 et duxit me ad portam quae respiciebat ad viam orientalem
Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looks toward the east.
2 et ecce gloria Dei Israhel ingrediebatur per viam orientalem et vox erat ei quasi vox aquarum multarum et terra splendebat a maiestate eius
Look, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shined with his glory.
3 et vidi visionem secundum speciem quam videram quando venit ut disperderet civitatem et species secundum aspectum quem videram iuxta fluvium Chobar et cecidi super faciem meam
It was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city; and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.
4 et maiestas Domini ingressa est templum per viam portae quae respiciebat ad orientem
The glory of Jehovah came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.
5 et levavit me spiritus et introduxit me in atrium interius et ecce repleta erat gloria Domini domus
The Spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and look, the glory of Jehovah filled the house.
6 et audivi loquentem ad me de domo et vir qui stabat iuxta me
I heard one speaking to me out of the house; and a man stood by me.
7 dixit ad me fili hominis locus solii mei et locus vestigiorum pedum meorum ubi habito in medio filiorum Israhel in aeternum et non polluent ultra domus Israhel nomen sanctum meum ipsi et reges eorum in fornicationibus suis et in ruinis regum suorum et in excelsis
He said to me, "Son of man, this is the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever. The house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their prostitution, and by the dead bodies of their kings in their high places;
8 qui fabricati sunt limen suum iuxta limen meum et postes suos iuxta postes meos et murus erat inter me et eos et polluerunt nomen sanctum meum in abominationibus quas fecerunt propter quod consumpsi eos in ira mea
in their setting of their threshold by my threshold, and their doorpost beside my doorpost, and there was but the wall between me and them; and they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed: therefore I have consumed them in my anger.
9 nunc ergo repellant procul fornicationem suam et ruinas regum suorum a me et habitabo in medio eorum semper
Now let them put away their prostitution, and the dead bodies of their kings, far from me; and I will dwell in their midst forever.
10 tu autem fili hominis ostende domui Israhel templum et confundantur ab iniquitatibus suis et metiantur fabricam
"You, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.
11 et erubescant ex omnibus quae fecerunt figuram domus et fabricae eius exitus et introitus et omnem descriptionem eius et universa praecepta eius cunctumque ordinem eius et omnes leges eius ostende eis et scribes in oculis eorum et custodiant omnes descriptiones eius et praecepta illius et faciant ea
If they be ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the form of the house, and its fashion, and its exits, and its entrances, and all its forms, and all its ordinances, and all its forms, and all its laws; and write it in their sight; that they may keep the whole form of it, and all its ordinances, and do them.
12 ista est lex domus in summitate montis omnes fines eius in circuitu sanctum sanctorum est haec ergo est lex domus
"This is the law of the house: on the top of the mountain the whole limit around it shall be most holy. Look, this is the law of the house.
13 istae autem mensurae altaris in cubito verissimo qui habebat cubitum et palmum in sinu eius erat cubitus et cubitus in latitudine et definitio usque ad labium eius in circuitu palmus unus haec quoque erat fossa altaris
"These are the measurements of the altar by units of length (each unit is the standard eighteen inches plus three inches): the bottom shall be twenty-one inches, and the breadth twenty-one inches, and its border around its edge nine inches. And this shall be the height of the altar:
14 et de sinu terrae usque ad crepidinem novissimam duo cubiti et latitudo cubiti unius et a crepidine maiori usque ad crepidinem minorem quattuor cubiti et latitudo unius cubiti
from the bottom on the ground to the lower ledge shall be three feet five inches, and the breadth twenty-one inches; and from the lesser ledge to the greater ledge shall be six feet eleven inches, and the breadth twenty-one inches.
15 ipse autem arihel quattuor cubitorum et ab arihel usque sursum cornua quattuor
The upper altar shall be six feet eleven inches; and four horns project upward from the altar hearth.
16 et arihel duodecim cubitorum in longitudine per duodecim cubitos latitudinis quadrangulatum aequis lateribus
The altar hearth shall be twenty-four feet one inch long by twenty-four feet one inch broad, square in the four sides of it.
17 et crepido quattuordecim cubitorum longitudinis per quattuordecim latitudinis in quattuor angulis eius et corona in circuitu eius dimidii cubitus et sinus eius unius cubiti per circuitum gradus autem eius versi ad orientem
The ledge shall be twenty-four feet one inch long by twenty-four feet one inch broad in the four sides of it; and the border about it shall be ten and a half inches; and its bottom shall be twenty-one inches around; and its steps shall look toward the east."
18 et dixit ad me fili hominis haec dicit Dominus Deus hii sunt ritus altaris in quacumque die fuerit fabricatum ut offeratur super illud holocaustum et effundatur sanguis
He said to me, "Son of man, thus says Jehovah: These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.
19 et dabis sacerdotibus Levitis qui sunt de semine Sadoc qui accedunt ad me ait Dominus Deus ut offerant mihi vitulum de armento pro peccato
You shall give to the priests the Levites who are of the offspring of Zadok, who are near to me, to minister to me, says Jehovah, a young bull for a sin offering.
20 et adsumens de sanguine eius pones super quattuor cornua eius et super quattuor angulos crepidinis et super coronam in circuitu et mundabis illud et expiabis
You shall take of its blood, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the ledge, and on the border all around: thus you shall cleanse it and make atonement for it.
21 et tolles vitulum qui oblatus fuerit pro peccato et conbures illum in separato loco domus extra sanctuarium
You shall also take the bull of the sin offering, and it shall be burnt in the appointed place of the house, outside of the sanctuary.
22 et in die secunda offeres hircum caprarum inmaculatum pro peccato et expiabunt altare sicut expiaverunt in vitulo
"On the second day you shall offer a male goat without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bull.
23 cumque conpleveris expians illud offeres vitulum de armento inmaculatum et arietem de grege inmaculatum
When you have finished cleansing it, you shall offer a young bull without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.
24 et offeres eos in conspectu Domini et mittent sacerdotes super eos sal et offerent eos holocaustum Domino
You shall bring them near to Jehovah, and the priests shall cast salt on them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering to Jehovah.
25 septem diebus facies hircum pro peccato cotidie et vitulum de armento et arietem de pecoribus inmaculatos offerent
"Seven days you shall prepare every day a goat for a sin offering: they shall also prepare a young bull, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish.
26 septem diebus expiabunt altare et mundabunt illud et implebunt manum eius
Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify it; so shall they consecrate it.
27 expletis autem diebus in die octava et ultra facient sacerdotes super altare holocausta vestra et quae pro pace offerunt et placatus ero vobis ait Dominus Deus
When they have accomplished the days, it shall be that on the eighth day, and forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings on the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, says Jehovah."
