Ezequiel 40

1 Al principio del año, el día diez del mes del vigésimo quinto año de nuestro exilio, (catorce años después de la toma de Jerusalén), fue el día exacto en que el poder del Señor vino sobre mí y me llevó allí a la ciudad.

In the twenty-fifth year after we had been taken away prisoners, in the first month of the year, on the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the town was taken, on the very same day, the hand of the Lord was on me, and he took me there.

2 Dios me llevó al país de Israel en visión y me posó en una montaña muy alta. En el lado sur de la montaña había edificios que parecían ser una ciudad.

In the visions of God he took me into the land of Israel, and put me down on a very high mountain, on which there was, as it seemed, a building like a town opposite me.

3 Cuando me llevó allí, vi a un hombre que parecía de bronce brillante. Llevaba en la mano un cordón de lino y una vara de medir, y estaba de pie en la entrada.

He took me there, and I saw a man, looking like brass, with a linen cord in his hand and a measuring rod: and he was stationed in the doorway.

4 “Hijo de hombre”, me dijo, “mira con tus ojos, escucha con tus oídos. Concéntrate en todo lo que voy a mostrarte, porque esa es la razón por la que te han traído aquí. Debes explicar al pueblo de Israel lo que se te ha mostrado, todo lo que ves”.

And the man said to me, Son of man, see with your eyes and give hearing with your ears, and take to heart everything I am going to let you see; for in order that I might let you see them, you have come here: and give an account of all you see to the children of Israel.

5 Pude ver un muro que rodeaba el Templo. La vara de medir que sostenía el hombre medía seis codos largos (un codo largo es un codo más un palmo). Midió el muro con un grosor de seis codos y una altura de seis codos.

And there was a wall on the outside of the house all round, and in the man's hand there was a measuring rod six cubits long by a cubit and a hand's measure: so he took the measure of the building from side to side, one rod; and from base to top, one rod.

6 Luego subió los escalones de la puerta que daba al este. Midió que el umbral de la puerta tenía seis codos de profundidad.

Then he came to the doorway looking to the east, and went up by its steps; and he took the measure of the doorstep, one rod wide.

7 Más allá, había nichos que medían seis por seis codos, con cinco codos entre los nichos. El umbral de la entrada interior que daba al pórtico medía seis codos.

And the watchmen's rooms were one rod long and one rod wide; and the space between the rooms was five cubits; the doorstep of the doorway, by the covered way of the doorway inside, was one rod.

8 Luego midió el pórtico de entrada.

And he took the measure of the covered way of the doorway inside,

9 Tenía una profundidad de ocho codos, y sus postes eran de dos codos de grosor. El pórtico de entrada daba al Templo.

Eight cubits; and its uprights, two cubits; the covered way of the doorway was inside.

10 A cada lado de la entrada de la puerta oriental había tres nichos que medían lo mismo. Los postes de cada lado también medían lo mismo.

And the rooms of the doorway on the east were three on this side and three on that; all three were of the same size; and the uprights on this side and on that were of the same size.

11 El ancho de la puerta de entrada medía diez codos. Su longitud era de trece codos.

And he took the measure of the opening of the doorway, ten cubits wide; and the way down the doorway was thirteen cubits;

12 Un muro de un codo de alto estaba delante de la alcoba, y las alcobas medían seis codos por seis codos.

And the space in front of the rooms, a cubit on this side and a cubit on that side; and the rooms six cubits on this side and six cubits on that.

13 Luego midió la puerta de entrada desde el techo de una alcoba hasta el techo de la de enfrente. Había veinticinco codos desde una puerta hasta la opuesta.

And he took the measure of the doorway from the back of one room to the back of the other, twenty-five cubits across, from door to door.

14 Luego midió la distancia entre los postes en sesenta codos. La puerta daba la vuelta al patio.

And he took the measure of the covered way, twenty cubits; and opening from the covered way of the doorway was the open square round about.

15 Había cincuenta codos desde la entrada de la puerta hasta el extremo del pórtico interior.

And from before the opening of the doorway to before the inner covered way of the doorway was fifty cubits.

16 Las alcobas y sus pilares tenían ventanas estrechas en todo el interior de la puerta. Los pórticos también tenían ventanas en todo el interior. Todos los postes estaban decorados con diseños de palmeras.

And the rooms and their uprights had sloping windows inside the doorway all round, and in the same way the covered way had windows all round on the inside: and on every upright there were palm-trees.

17 Me llevó al patio exterior. Vi que se habían construido habitaciones y un pavimento alrededor del patio. Había treinta habitaciones que daban al pavimento.

Then he took me into the outer square, and there were rooms and a stone floor made for the open square all round: there were thirty rooms on the stone floor.

18 El pavimento se denominaba pavimento inferior y se extendía a lo largo de los lados de las puertas y tenía la misma longitud que éstas.

And the stone floor was by the side of the doorways, and was as wide as the doorways were long, even the lower floor.

19 Midió la distancia desde el frente de la puerta inferior hasta el lado más alejado del patio interior como cien codos, tanto hacia el lado este como hacia el norte.

Then he took the measure of the square across, from before the lower doorway inside to before the inner doorway outside, one hundred cubits. And he took me in the direction of the north,

20 También midió la longitud y la anchura de la puerta del patio exterior que daba al norte.

And there was a doorway to the outer square, looking to the north; and he took the measure of it to see how wide and how long it was.

21 Sus tres nichos a ambos lados, sus postes y su pórtico medían lo mismo que la primera puerta, y tenía cincuenta metros de largo y veinticinco de ancho.

And it had three rooms on this side of it and three on that; its uprights and its covered ways were the same size as those of the first doorway: it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

22 Las ventanas, el pórtico y los adornos de las palmeras eran los mismos que los de la puerta que daba al este. Tenía siete peldaños que conducían a ella, con su pórtico frente a ellos.

And its windows, and the windows of its covered ways, and its palm-trees, were the same as those of the doorway looking to the east; and there were seven steps up to it; and the covered way went inside.

23 Había una entrada al patio interior que daba a la puerta norte, al igual que la puerta este. Midió la distancia desde la entrada hasta la puerta como cien codos.

And there was a doorway to the inner square opposite the doorway on the north, like the doorway on the east; and he took the measure from doorway to doorway, a hundred cubits.

24 Me llevó al lado sur, y vi una puerta que daba al sur. Midió sus postes y su pórtico, y medían lo mismo que los anteriores.

And he took me to the south, and I saw a doorway looking to the south: and he took the measure of its rooms and its uprights and its covered ways by these measures.

25 Tanto la puerta como el pórtico tenían ventanas a su alrededor que eran como las otras ventanas. Tenía cincuenta codos de largo y veinticinco de ancho.

And there were windows in it and in the covered way all round, like the other windows: it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

26 Tenía siete escalones que subían a ella, y su pórtico estaba orientado hacia ellos. Tenía un poste a cada lado con dibujos de palmeras.

And there were seven steps up to it, and its covered way went inside: and it had palm-trees, one on this side and one on that, on its uprights.

27 El patio interior también tenía una entrada que daba al sur, y midió la distancia desde la entrada hasta la puerta del sur como cien codos.

And there was a doorway to the inner square looking to the south: he took the measure from doorway to doorway to the south, a hundred cubits.

28 Me llevó al patio interior por la puerta sur, y midió la puerta sur. Medía lo mismo que las anteriores.

Then he took me to the inner square by the south doorway: and he took the measure of the south doorway by these measures;

29 Sus alcobas, sus postes y su pórtico tenían las mismas medidas que los anteriores. La puerta y su pórtico tenían ventanas alrededor. Medía cincuenta codos de largo y veinticinco de ancho.

And the rooms in it and the uprights and the covered ways, by these measures:

30 (Los otros pórticos circundantes medían veinticinco codos de largo y cinco de profundidad).

And there were windows in it and in the covered way all round: it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

31 El pórtico daba al patio exterior y sus pilares estaban decorados con dibujos de palmeras. Tenía ocho escalones para llegar a él.

The covered way was on the side nearest the outer square; and there were palm-trees on the uprights: and there were eight steps going up to it.

32 Me llevó al patio interior, en el lado este. Midió la puerta y medía lo mismo que las anteriores.

And he took me into the inner square facing the east: and he took the measure of the doorway by these measures;

33 Los nichos, los postes y el pórtico medían lo mismo que los anteriores. La puerta y el pórtico tenían ventanas alrededor. Tenía cincuenta codos de largo y veinticinco de ancho.

And of the rooms in it and its uprights and its covered ways, by these measures: and there were windows in it and in the covered way round about: it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

34 El pórtico daba al patio exterior y sus postes estaban decorados con dibujos de palmeras. Tenía ocho escalones para llegar a ella.

And the covered way was on the side nearest the outer square; there were palm-trees on the uprights, on this side and on that: and there were eight steps going up to it.

35 Me llevó a la puerta norte y la midió. Medía lo mismo que las anteriores,

And he took me to the north doorway: and he took the measure of it by these measures;

36 incluyendo sus alcobas, postes y pórtico. La puerta y su pórtico tenían ventanas alrededor. Tenía cincuenta codos de largo y veinticinco de ancho.

Its rooms, its uprights, and its covered way had the same measures, and its covered way had windows all round: it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

37 El pórtico daba al patio exterior y sus postes estaban decorados con palmeras por todos lados. Tenía ocho escalones para subir.

Its uprights were on the side nearest to the outer square; there were palm-trees on the uprights, on this side and on that: and there were eight steps going up to it.

38 Junto al pórtico de las puertas interiores había una sala con una puerta. Allí se lavaba el holocausto.

And there was a room with a door in the covered way of the doorway, where the burned offering was washed.

39 Dentro del pórtico de la puerta había dos mesas a ambos lados, donde se sacrificaban los animales para los holocaustos, las ofrendas por el pecado y las ofrendas por la culpa.

And in the covered way of the doorway there were two tables on this side and two tables on that side, on which the burned offering and the sin-offering and the offering for error were put to death:

40 Afuera, en el camino hacia la entrada de la puerta norte, había dos mesas a un lado del pórtico de la puerta y dos mesas al otro lado.

On the outer side, to the north, as one goes up to the opening of the doorway, were two tables.

41 Así que había cuatro mesas en el interior de la puerta y otras cuatro en el exterior, haciendo un total de ocho mesas. Aquí se sacrificaban los sacrificios.

There were four tables on one side and four tables on the other, by the side of the doorway; eight tables, on which they put to death the beasts for the offerings.

42 También había cuatro mesas de piedra tallada para el holocausto. Cada una medía un codo y medio de largo, un codo y medio de ancho y un codo de alto. Sobre estas mesas se colocaban los utensilios para sacrificar los holocaustos y los demás sacrificios.

And there were four tables for the burned offering, made of cut stone, one and a half cubits long, one and a half cubits wide and a cubit high, where the instruments were placed which were used for putting to death the burned offering and the beasts for the offerings.

43 En las paredes del interior de la sala se colocaban ganchos del ancho de una mano. Sobre estas mesas se colocaba la carne de la ofrenda.

And they had edges all round as wide as a man's hand: and on the tables was the flesh of the offerings.

44 Fuera de la puerta interior, pero dentro del patio interior, había dos habitaciones. Una estaba junto a la puerta norte y daba al sur; la otra, junto a la puerta sur, daba al norte.

And he took me into the inner square, and there were two rooms in the inner square, one at the side of the north doorway, facing south; and one at the side of the south doorway, facing north.

45 El hombre me dijo: “La sala que da al sur es para los sacerdotes encargados del Templo,

And he said to me, This room, facing south, is for the priests who have the care of the house.

46 y la sala que da al norte es para los sacerdotes encargados del altar. Estos sacerdotes son los descendientes de Sadoc y son los únicos levitas a los que se les permite acercarse al Señor y ministrar ante él”.

And the room facing north is for the priests who have the care of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok, who, from among the sons of Levi, come near to the Lord to do the work of his house.

47 Midió el patio cuadrado: cien codos de largo y cien de ancho. El altar estaba en el patio, frente al Templo.

And he took the measure of the open square, a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide, being square; and the altar was in front of the house.

48 Me llevó al pórtico del Templo y midió los pilares del pórtico de cinco codos a cada lado. La puerta tenía catorce codos de ancho y sus lados medían tres codos.

Then he took me to the covered way before the house, and took the measure of its uprights, five cubits on one side and five cubits on the other: and the doorway was fourteen cubits wide; and the side-walls of the doorway were three cubits on one side and three cubits on the other.

49 El pórtico medía veinte codos de ancho y doce de profundidad, y tenía diez escalones para subir. Había columnas junto a los postes, una a cada lado.

The covered way was twenty cubits long and twelve cubits wide, and they went up to it by ten steps; and there were pillars by the uprights, one on one side and one on the other.
