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 saith My Lord Yahweh, the gate of the inner court which looketh toward the east shall be shut, the six days of work, —but on the sabbath-day, shall it be opened, and on the day of the new moon, 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

The prince therefore shall enter by way of the porch of the gate without and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall offer his ascending-sacrifice and his peace offerings, and he shall bow down upon the threshold of the gate and then 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 kalendis coram Domino

and the people of the land, shall bow down, at the entrance of that gate on the sabbaths and at the new moons, —before Yahweh.

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

And, the ascending-sacrifice which the prince shall bring near unto Yahweh, [shall be] on the sabbath day, six he-lambs without defect and a ram without defect;

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

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

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

But on the day of the new moon, a young bullock without defect, —and six he-lambs and a ram without defect, 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 to a bullock, and an ephah to a ram, shall he offer as a meal-offering, and for the he-lambs, just as his hand shall attain unto, —and of oil a hin to an ephah.

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

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

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 enter before Yahweh on the appointed feasts, he that entereth by way of the north gate to bow down shall go forth by way of the south gate, and he that entereth by way of the south gate shall go forth by way of the north gate, —he shall not return by way of the gate by which he entered, but straight-forward, shall he go forth.

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

But as for the prince in their midst when they enter, shall he enter, and when they go forth, shall he go forth,

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 in the festivals and in the appointed feasts, the meal-offering! shall be an ephah to a bullock, and an ephah to a ram, but to the he-lambs, as one is able to give, —and of oil a hin 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 would offer as a freewill offering an ascending-sacrifice or peace-offerings as a free-will offering to Yahweh, then shall be opened to him the gate that looketh to the east, and he shall offer his ascending-sacrifice and his peace-offerings just as he would offer on the sabbath day, - and, when he shall go forth, then shall one shut the gate after he hath gone forth.

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

And, a he-lamb of the first year without defect, shalt thou offer as an ascending-sacrifice daily unto Yahweh, — morning by morning shalt thou offer 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, a meal-offering, shalt thou offer thereupon morning by morning, of the sixth of an ephah and, of oil, the third part of an hin to moisten the fine meal, —a meal-offering to Yahweh, age-abiding statutes continually.

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

Thus shall they offer the he-lamb and the meal-offering and the oil morning by morning, —a continual ascending-sacrifice.

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

Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, When the prince would bestow a gift upon any one of his sons, his own inheritance, shall it be, for his sons, shall it remain, — their possession, shall it be by way of 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 when he would bestow a gift out of his inheritance on any one of his servants, it shall remain his unto the year of liberation, then shall it return to the prince, —surely it is the inheritance of his sons, theirs, shall it remain.

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

So then the prince shall not take of the inheritance of the people to oppress them out of their possession, out of his own possession, shall he give an inheritance to his sons, —to the end that my people be not scattered, any one out 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

Then he brought me in through the entrance which was by the side of the gate, into the chambers of the holy place for the priests, those facing the north, —and lo! there a place, in the hinder parts westwards.

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

Then said he unto me, — This, is the place where the priests, shall boil, the guilt-bearer and the sin-bearer, —where they shall bake the meal-offering, that one may not carry them forth into the outer court to hallow 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

So he caused me to go out into the outer court, and then made me pass through into the four corners of the court, —and lo! a court in each corner of the 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, were courts covered over, forty long and thirty broad: of one measure, were those four.

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

And there was an enclosure round about in them round about to those four, —and boiling places had been made under the enclosures round about.

24 et dixit ad me haec est domus culinarum in qua coquent ministri domus Domini victimas populi

And he said unto me, — these, are the places of them who boil where they who wait upon the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.
