Esekiel 42
1 So let han meg ganga ut i den ytre fyregarden den vegen som gjekk nordetter. Og han let meg koma til den kovebygnaden som låg midt framfor det fråskilde tunet og beint imot bygnaden i nord,
And he took me out into the inner square in the direction of the north: and he took me into the rooms which were opposite the separate place and opposite the building to the north.
2 til langsida som var på hundrad alner, med inngang i nord, men breiddi var femti alner.
On the north side it was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide,
3 Beint imot eit stykke på tjuge alner av den indre fyregarden og midt framfor steingolvet i den ytre fyregarden, var det sval mot sval i tri høgder.
Opposite the space of twenty cubits which was part of the inner square, and opposite the stone floor of the outer square. There were covered ways facing one another on the third floor.
4 Og framanfor kovarne var det ein ti alner breid gang innetter, ein veg på ei aln; og dørerne deira snudde i nord.
And in front of the rooms was a walk, ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long; and their doors were facing north.
5 Og dei øvste kovarne var dei minste, for svalerne tok burt meir rom frå deim enn frå dei nedste og dei millomste i bygnaden.
And the higher rooms were shorter: for the covered ways took up more space from these than from the lower and middle rooms.
6 For dei låg i tri høgder, men hadde ikkje stolpar so som dei i fyregarden; difor smalkast det meir for dei øvste kovarne enn for dei nedste og millomste, frå jordi og uppetter.
For they were on three floors, and they had no pillars like the pillars of the outer square; so the highest was narrower than the lowest and middle floors from the earth level.
7 Og ein mur som var utanfor, frammed kovarne, imot den ytre fyregarden, gjekk framanfor kovarne. Han var femti alner lang.
And the wall which went outside by the side of the rooms, in the direction of the outer square in front of the rooms, was fifty cubits long.
8 For lengdi på dei kovarne som låg imot den ytre fyregarden, var femti alner, men sjå, mot templet: hundrad alner.
For the rooms in the outer square were fifty cubits long: and in front of the Temple was a space of a hundred cubits.
9 Og nedunder desse kovarne var inngangen mot aust, når ein gjekk inn i deim frå den ytre fyregarden.
And under these rooms was the way in from the east side, as one goes into them from the outer square at the head of the outer wall.
10 Der fyregardsmuren imot aust var på det tjukkaste, framanfor det fråskilde tunet og framanfor bygnaden, var det kovar.
(And he took me) to the south, and in front of the separate place and in front of the building there were rooms.
11 Og ein veg gjekk framanfor deim. Dei såg ut som dei kovarne som låg mot nord, like lange og like breide; likeins alle utgangar og tilskipnader elles og dørgap.
And there was a walk in front of them like that by the rooms on the north; they were equally long and wide; and the ways out of them were the same in design and had the same sort of doors.
12 Og likeins dørerne på dei kovarne som låg mot sud; det var ei dør der som vegen tok til, vegen frammed den muren som høyrde til, vegen austetter når ein gjekk inn i deim.
And under the rooms on the south was a door at the head of the outer wall in the direction of the east as one goes in.
13 So sagde han med meg: «Kovarne mot nord og kovarne mot sud, som ligg innmed det fråskilde tunet, dei er heilage kovar, der prestarne som er nær Herren skal eta det høgheilage. Der skal dei leggja det høgheilage, både grjonofferet og syndofferet og skuldofferet, for staden er heilag.
And he said to me, The north rooms and the south rooms in front of the separate place are the holy rooms, where the priests who come near the Lord take the most holy things for their food: there the most holy things are placed, with the meal offering and the sin-offering and the offering for error; for the place is holy.
14 Når prestarne gjeng inn, so skal dei ikkje ganga ut att or heilagdomen og ut i den ytre fyregarden, men der skal dei leggja av seg klædi som dei hev gjort tenesta i, for dei er heilage. Dei skal taka på seg andre klæde og so ganga dit der folket må vera.»
When the priests go in, they may not go out of the holy place into the outer square, and there they are to put the robes in which they do the work of the Lord's house, for they are holy: and they have to put on other clothing before they come near that which has to do with the people.
15 Og då han hadde gjort mælingi frå seg i det indre huset, fylgde han meg ut gjenom den porten som hadde framsida mot aust, og der mælte han rundt ikring.
And when he had come to the end of measuring the inner house, he took me out to the doorway looking to the east, and took its measure all round.
16 Han mælte austsida med mælestongi: fem hundrad stenger etter mælestongi rundt ikring.
He went round and took the measure of it on the east side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.
17 Han mælte nordsida: fem hundrad stenger etter mælestongi rundt ikring.
And he went round and took the measure of it on the north side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.
18 Sudsida mælte han: fem hundrad stenger etter mælestong.
And he went round and took the measure of it on the south side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.
19 Han snudde og gjekk mot vestsida; han mælte fem hundrad stenger etter mælestong.
And he went round and took the measure of it on the west side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.
20 På dei fire sidorne mælte han det. Det hadde ein mur rundt ikring: fem hundrad stenger lang og fem hundrad breid, til å skilja det heilage frå det som var uhelga.
He took its measure on the four sides: and it had a wall all round, five hundred long and five hundred wide, separating what was holy from what was common.
