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 kalendarum aperietur

Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall remain locked the six working days; but on the sabbath day shall it be opened, and on the new-moon day shall it be opened.

2 et intrabit princeps per viam vestibuli portae de foris 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, from without, and shall stand by the door-post of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his burnt-offering and his peace-offerings, and he shall bow himself down at the threshold of the gate, and he shall then go forth; but the gate shall not be locked until the evening.

3 et adorabit populus terrae ad ostium portae illius in sabbatis et in kalendis coram Domino

And the people of the land shall bow themselves down at the door of this same gate on the sabbaths and on the new-moons before the Lord.

4 holocaustum autem hoc offeret princeps Domino in die sabbati sex agnos inmaculatos et arietem inmaculatum

And the burnt-offering which the prince is to offer unto the Lord, shall be on the sabbath-day six sheep without blemish, and a ram without blemish;

5 et sacrificium oephi per arietem agnis autem sacrificium quod dederit manus eius et olei hin per singula oephi

And as a meat-offering an ephah for the ram, and for the sheep a meat-offering as his hand may be able to give, and a hin of oil for every ephah.

6 in die autem kalendarum vitulum de armento inmaculatum et sex agni et arietes inmaculati erunt

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

7 et oephi per vitulum oephi quoque per arietem faciet sacrificium agnis autem sicut invenerit manus eius et olei hin per singula oephi

And an ephah for the bullock, and an ephah for the ram, shall he prepare as a meat-offering, and for the sheep according as his means may reach, and a hin of oil for every ephah.

8 cumque ingressurus est princeps per viam vestibuli portae ingrediatur et per eandem viam exeat

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

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 come before the Lord on the appointed feasts, he that entereth in by the way of the north gate to bow himself down shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth by the way of the south gate shall go out by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in; but by that opposite to him shall he go out.

10 princeps autem in medio eorum cum ingredientibus ingredietur et cum egredientibus egredietur

And as for the prince—in the midst of them, when they go in, shall he go in; and when they go out, shall they go out [together].

11 et in nundinis et in sollemnitatibus erit sacrificium oephi per vitulum et oephi per arietem agnis autem erit sacrificium sicut invenerit manus eius et olei hin per singula oephi

And on the feasts and on the appointed festivals shall the meat-offering be an ephah for each bullock, and an ephah for each ram, and for the sheep as his hand may be able to give, and a hin of oil for every 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 doth prepare as a voluntary gift a burnt-offering, or a peace-offering, as a voluntary gift unto the Lord: then shall be opened for him the gate that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his burnt-offering and his peace-offering, as he usually doth on the sabbath-day; and he shall go out, and the gate shall be locked after his going out.

13 et agnum eiusdem anni inmaculatum faciet holocaustum cotidie Domino semper mane faciet illud

And a sheep of the first year without blemish shalt thou prepare as a burnt-offering every day unto the Lord: morning by morning shalt thou prepare it.

14 et sacrificium faciet super eo cata mane mane sextam partem oephi et de oleo tertiam partem hin ut misceatur similae sacrificium Domino legitimum iuge atque perpetuum

And as a meat-offering shalt thou prepare with it, morning by morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third of a hin of oil, to mingle with the fine flour—a meat-offering unto the Lord, as ordinances for ever continually.

15 faciet agnum et sacrificium et oleum cata mane mane holocaustum sempiternum

Thus shall they prepare the sheep, and the meat-offering, and the oil, morning by morning, as a continual burnt-offering.

16 haec dicit Dominus Deus si dederit princeps donum alicui de filiis suis hereditas eius filiorum suorum erit possidebunt ea hereditarie

Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, If the prince make gift unto any one of his sons, it is his inheritance, it shall belong to his sons: it shall be their possession as their 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 make a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants: then shall it remain his to the year of freedom, when it shall return to the prince; but his inheritance shall only remain 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

But the prince shall not take any thing from the inheritance of the people, to wrong them out of their possession: out of his own possession can he give an inheritance to his sons; in order that not one of my people be deprived of his possession.

19 et introduxit me per ingressum qui erat ex latere portae in gazofilacia sanctuarii ad sacerdotes quae respiciebant ad aquilonem et erat ibi locus vergens ad occidentem

And 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 by the back wall on the west side.

20 et dixit ad me iste est locus ubi coquent sacerdotes pro delicto et pro peccato ubi coquent sacrificium ut non efferant in atrio exteriori et sanctificetur populus

And he said unto me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass-offering and the sin-offering, where [also] they shall bake the meat-offering; so as not to carry the same out into the outer court, to mingle with 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 did he lead me forth into the outer court, and caused me to pass along the four corners of the court; and, behold, in every corner of the court there was a court.

22 in quattuor angulos atrii atriola disposita quadraginta cubitorum per longum et triginta per latum mensurae unius quattuor erant

In the four corners of the court there were uncovered courts of forty cubits in length and thirty in breadth: there was one measure for all these four in the corners.

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

And there was a shelf of masonry round about in them, round about all these four, and it was furnished with hearths for boiling under the shelves 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 places of those that boil, where the servants of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.
