Hiezechielis Prophetæ 45
1 cumque coeperitis terram dividere sortito separate primitias Domino sanctificatum de terra longitudine viginti quinque milia et latitudine decem milia sanctificatum erit in omni termino eius per circuitum
When you allocate the land ownership by lot, you are to make a provision for the Lord, a holy allocation of the land that measures 25,000 cubits long and 20,000 cubits wide. This whole area is holy.
2 et erit ex omni parte sanctificatum quingentos per quingentos quadrifariam per circuitum et quinquaginta cubitis in suburbana eius per gyrum
Inside this there is the section for the sanctuary that measures 500 cubits square, with an open area around it 50 cubits wide.
3 et a mensura ista mensurabis longitudinem viginti quinque milium et latitudinem decem milium et in ipso erit templum sanctumque sanctorum
From this holy allocation, measure out a section that is 25,000 cubits by 10,000 cubits. This will contain the sanctuary, the Most Holy Place.
4 sanctificatum de terra erit sacerdotibus ministris sanctuarii qui accedunt ad ministerium Domini et erit eis locus in domos et in sanctuarium sanctitatis
This area is a holy allocation of the land which will be used by the priests who serve in the sanctuary, who come before the Lord to minister. It will be where they can live, and a holy place for the sanctuary.
5 viginti quinque autem milia longitudinis et decem milia latitudinis erunt Levitis qui ministrant domui ipsi possidebunt viginti gazofilacia
The other section measuring 25,000 cubits by 10,000 cubits will be assigned the Levites who work in the Temple where they can live.
6 et possessionem civitatis dabitis quinque milia latitudinis et longitudinis viginti quinque milia secundum separationem sanctuarii omni domui Israhel
Allocate to the city an area 5,000 cubits wide and 25,000 cubits long beside the sanctuary section. It is for the all the people of Israel.
7 principi quoque hinc et inde in separationem sanctuarii et in possessionem civitatis contra faciem separationis sanctuarii et contra faciem possessionis urbis a latere maris usque ad mare et a latere orientis usque ad orientem longitudinem autem iuxta unamquamque partium a termino occidentali usque ad terminum orientalem
The prince will be assigned the territory on both sides of the area that includes the holy section and that of the city. It will extend to the western border of the country from the west side and to the eastern border from the east side, in the same way as the allocation to the tribes.
8 de terra erit ei possessio in Israhel et non depopulabuntur ultra principes populum meum sed terram dabunt domui Israhel secundum tribus eorum
This territory will be his to own in the country of Israel. My princes won't exploit my people anymore, and will make sure the people of Israel occupy the country according to their tribal allocations.
9 haec dicit Dominus Deus sufficiat vobis principes Israhel iniquitatem et rapinas intermittite et iudicium et iustitiam facite separate confinia vestra a populo meo ait Dominus Deus
This is what the Lord God says: You've done enough damage, princes of Israel! Stop using violence and mistreating people! Do what is good and right. Stop evicting people and stealing their property, declares the Lord God.
10 statera iusta et oephi iustum et batus iustus erit vobis
You must use correct methods of measurement—whether it's weights on scales, or ephah for measuring solids, and a bath for measuring liquids.
11 oephi et batus aequalia et unius mensurae erunt ut capiat decimam partem chori batus et decimam partem chori oephi iuxta mensuram chori erit aequa libratio eorum
The ephah and the bath shall be the same quantity of volume. The bath will be equivalent to a tenth of a homer, and the ephah will also be equivalent to a tenth of a homer. The homer is to be the fundamental measurement.
12 siclus autem viginti obolos habeat porro viginti sicli et viginti quinque sicli et quindecim sicli minam facient
Twenty gerahs make one shekel. Sixty shekels make one mina.
13 et haec sunt primitiae quas tolletis sextam partem oephi de choro frumenti et sextam partem oephi de choro hordei
These are the taxes you are to contribute: one sixth of an ephah from every homer of wheat or barley.
14 mensura quoque olei batus olei decima pars chori est et decem bati chorum faciunt quia decem bati implent chorum
In the case of olive oil, one tenth of a bath from every cor. (The measurement is based on baths, and a cor consists of ten baths or one homer, since ten baths equal one homer.)
15 et arietem unum de grege ducentorum de his quae nutriunt Israhel in sacrificium et in holocaustum et in pacifica ad expiandum pro eis ait Dominus Deus
In addition one sheep is to be supplied from every flock of two hundred from the green pastures of Israel. These are to provide for the grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings, to set the people right, declares the Lord God.
16 omnis populus terrae tenebitur primitiis his principi in Israhel
Everyone in the country has to make these contributions to the prince in Israel.
17 et super principem erunt holocausta et sacrificium et libamina in sollemnitatibus et in kalendis et in sabbatis in universis sollemnitatibus domus Israhel ipse faciat pro peccato sacrificium et holocaustum et pacifica ad expiandum pro domo Israhel
The prince's role is to provide the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings for the religious festivals, New Moons, and Sabbaths—in fact for all the regular religious festivals of the people of Israel. He is to provide the sin offerings, grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings to set the people of Israel right.
18 haec dicit Dominus Deus in primo mense una mensis sumes vitulum de armento inmaculatum et expiabis sanctuarium
This is what the Lord God says: On the first day of the first month you are to sacrifice a young bull that has no defects to purify the sanctuary.
19 et tollet sacerdos de sanguine quod erit pro peccato et ponet in postibus domus et in quattuor angulis crepidinis altaris et in postibus portae atrii interioris
The priest shall take some of the blood from the sin offering and put it on the doorposts of the Temple, on the four corners of the upper ledge of the altar, and on the gateposts of the inner courtyard.
20 et sic facies in septima mensis pro unoquoque qui ignoravit et errore deceptus est et expiabitis pro domo
You are also to do this on the seventh day of the month on behalf of anyone who does wrong unintentionally or in ignorance. By doing this you purify the Temple.
21 in primo mense quartadecima die mensis erit vobis paschae sollemnitas septem diebus azyma comedentur
You are to keep the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month. This is a religious festival that lasts seven days, during which time bread made without yeast is to be eaten.
22 et faciet princeps in die illa pro se et pro universo populo terrae vitulum pro peccato
On that day the prince will provide a bull as a sin offering for himself and for everyone on the country.
23 et in septem dierum sollemnitate faciet holocaustum Domino septem vitulos et septem arietes inmaculatos cotidie septem diebus et pro peccato hircum caprarum cotidie
Every day for the seven days of the festival, he will provide seven bulls and seven rams without defects as a burnt offering to the Lord, together with a male goat for a sin offering.
24 et sacrificium oephi per vitulum et oephi per arietem faciet et olei hin per singula oephi
He will also provide an ephah of grain and a hin of olive oil as an offering to accompany each bull and each ram.
25 septimo mense quintadecima die mensis in sollemnitate faciet sicut supra dicta sunt per septem dies tam pro peccato quam pro holocausto et in sacrificio et in oleo
For the seven days of the festival that begins on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, he is to provide the same number of sin offerings, burnt offerings, grain offerings, and olive oil.
