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 led me into the outer court by the way that leads to the north, and he led me into the storeroom that was opposite the separate edifice, and opposite the shrine that verges toward the north.
2 til langsida som var på hundrad alner, med inngang i nord, men breiddi var femti alner.
The length of the face of the north gate was one hundred cubits, and the width was fifty cubits.
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 twenty cubits of the interior court, and opposite the layer of pavement stones in the outer court, in that place, there was a portico joined to a triple portico.
4 Og framanfor kovarne var det ein ti alner breid gang innetter, ein veg på ei aln; og dørerne deira snudde i nord.
And before the storerooms, there was a walkway of ten cubits in width, looking toward the interior along a way of one cubit. And their doors were toward the 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.
In that place, there were storerooms in the upper part of the lower level. For they supported the porticos, which projected from them out of the lower level, and out of the middle of the building.
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 of three levels, and they did not have pillars, as they were like the pillars of the courts. Because of this, they projected from the lower levels and from the middle, fifty cubits from the ground.
7 Og ein mur som var utanfor, frammed kovarne, imot den ytre fyregarden, gjekk framanfor kovarne. Han var femti alner lang.
And the exterior enclosing wall, adjacent to the storerooms that were along the way of the exterior court in front of the storerooms, 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 length of the storerooms of the exterior court was fifty cubits, and the length before the face of the temple was one hundred cubits.
9 Og nedunder desse kovarne var inngangen mot aust, når ein gjekk inn i deim frå den ytre fyregarden.
And under these storerooms, there was an entrance from the east, for those who were entering into it from the outer court.
10 Der fyregardsmuren imot aust var på det tjukkaste, framanfor det fråskilde tunet og framanfor bygnaden, var det kovar.
In the width of the enclosing wall of the court that was opposite the way of the east, at the face of the separate edifice, there were also storerooms, before the edifice.
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 the way before their face was in accord with the form of the storerooms which were along the way of the north. As was their length, so also was their width. And the entire entrance, and the likenesses, and their 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.
were in accord with the doors of the storerooms that were on the way looking toward the Renown. There was a door at the head of the way, and the way was before a separate vestibule, along the way entering toward the east.
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 storerooms of the north, and the storerooms of the south, which are before the separate edifice, these are holy storerooms, in which the priests, who draw near to the Lord in the Holy of Holies, shall eat. There they shall station the Holy of Holies, and the offering for sin, and for trespasses. For it is a holy place.
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.»
And when the priests will have entered, they shall not depart from the holy places into the outer court. And in that place, they shall set their vestments, in which they minister, for they are holy. And they shall be clothed with other vestments, and in this manner they shall go forth to 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 completed measuring the inner house, he led me out along the way of the gate that looked toward the way of the east. And he measured it on every side all around.
16 Han mælte austsida med mælestongi: fem hundrad stenger etter mælestongi rundt ikring.
Then he measured facing the east wind with the measuring reed: five hundred reeds with the measuring reed throughout the course.
17 Han mælte nordsida: fem hundrad stenger etter mælestongi rundt ikring.
And he measured facing the wind of the north: five hundred reeds with the measuring reed throughout the course.
18 Sudsida mælte han: fem hundrad stenger etter mælestong.
And toward the south wind, he measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed throughout the course.
19 Han snudde og gjekk mot vestsida; han mælte fem hundrad stenger etter mælestong.
And toward the west wind, he measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
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.
By the four winds, he measured its wall, on every side throughout the course: five hundred cubits in length and five hundred cubits in width, dividing between the sanctuary and the place of the common people.
