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 the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall 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 that gate from outside, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall 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

Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the sabbaths and in the new moons.

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

And the burnt offering that the prince shall offer to the LORD in the sabbath day shall be six lambs 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 the meat offering shall be an ephah for a ram, and the meat offering for the lambs as he shall be able to give, and an hin of oil to an ephah.

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

And in the day of the new moon it shall be a young bull without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram: they shall be without blemish.

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

And he shall prepare a meat offering, an ephah for a bull, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs according as his hand shall be able, and an hin of oil to an ephah.

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

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

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 come before the LORD in the solemn feasts, he that entereth in by the way of the north gate to worship shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate by which he came in, but shall go forth opposite it.

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

And the prince in the midst of them, when they go in, shall go in; and when they go forth, shall 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 feasts and in the solemnities the meat offering shall be an ephah to a bull, and an ephah to a ram, and to the lambs as he is able to give, and an hin of oil 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

Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary burnt offering or peace offerings voluntarily to the LORD, one shall then open to him the gate that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he did on the sabbath day: then he shall go forth; and after his going forth one shall shut the gate.

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

Thou shalt daily prepare a burnt offering to the LORD of a lamb of the first year without blemish: thou shalt prepare it every morning.

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 thou shalt prepare a meat offering for it every morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of an hin of oil, to moisten the fine flour; a meat offering continually by a perpetual ordinance to the LORD.

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

Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meat offering, and the oil, every morning for 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 saith the Lord GOD; If the prince shall give a gift to any of his sons, the inheritance of it shall be to his sons’; it shall be their possession by 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 will give a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants, then it shall be his to the year of liberty; afterward it shall return to the prince: but his inheritance shall be to his sons for them.

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

Moreover the prince shall not take of the people’s inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their possession; but he shall give his sons inheritance out of his own possession: that my people be not dispossessed every man from 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

Afterward he brought me through the entrance, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers of the priests, which looked toward the north: and, behold, there was a place on the two sides westward.

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 to me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, where they shall bake the meat offering; that they bear them not out into the outer court, to sanctify 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 he brought me forth into the outer court, and caused me to pass by 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 courts joined of forty cubits long and thirty broad: these four corners were of one measure.

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

And there was a row of building all around in them, around the four of them, and it was made with boiling places under the rows on every side.

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

Then said he to me, These are the places of them that boil, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.
