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 of our transmigration, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was struck, on this very day, the hand of the Lord was placed upon me, and he brought me to that place.
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 brought me into the land of Israel, and he released me on an exceedingly high mountain, on which there was something like the edifice of a city, verging toward the south.
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.
And he led me into that place. And behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a linen rope in his hand, and a measuring reed in his hand. And he was standing at the gate.
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 same man said to me: “Son of man, look with your eyes, and listen with your ears, and set your heart upon all that I will reveal to you. For you have been brought to this place, so that these things may be revealed to you. Announce all that you see to the house 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 behold, there was a wall outside of the house, encircling it all around, and in the man’s hand was a measuring reed of six cubits and a palm. And he measured the width of the edifice with one reed; likewise, the height with one reed.
6 Luego subió los escalones de la puerta que daba al este. Midió que el umbral de la puerta tenía seis codos de profundidad.
And he went to the gate which looked toward the east, and he ascended by its steps. And he measured the width of the threshold of the gate as one reed, that is, one threshold was one reed in width.
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 a chamber was one reed in length and one reed in width. And between the chambers, there were five cubits.
8 Luego midió el pórtico de entrada.
And the threshold of the gate, next to the inner vestibule of the gate, was one reed.
9 Tenía una profundidad de ocho codos, y sus postes eran de dos codos de grosor. El pórtico de entrada daba al Templo.
And he measured the vestibule of the gate as eight cubits, and its front as two cubits. But the vestibule of the gate 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.
Moreover, the chambers of the gate, toward the way of the east, were three from one side to the other. The three were of one measure, and the fronts were of one measure, on both sides.
11 El ancho de la puerta de entrada medía diez codos. Su longitud era de trece codos.
And he measured the width of the threshold of the gate as ten cubits, and the length of the gate as 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 before the chambers, the border was one cubit. And on both sides, the border was one cubit. But the chambers were six cubits, from one side to the other.
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 measured the gate, from the roof of one chamber to the roof of another, twenty-five cubits in width, from door to door.
14 Luego midió la distancia entre los postes en sesenta codos. La puerta daba la vuelta al patio.
And he found the fronts to be sixty cubits. And at the front, there was a court for the gate on every side all around.
15 Había cincuenta codos desde la entrada de la puerta hasta el extremo del pórtico interior.
And before the face of the gate, which extended even to the face of the vestibule of the gate of the interior, there were 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 there were slanting windows in the chambers and at their fronts, which were within the gate on every side all around. And similarly, there were also windows in the vestibules all around the interior, and there were images of palm trees before the fronts.
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.
And he led me away to the outer court, and behold, there were storerooms and a layer of pavement stones throughout the court. Thirty storerooms encircled the pavement.
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 pavement in front of the gates, along the length of the gates, was lower.
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.
And he measured the width, from the face of the lower gate to the front of the outer part of the inner court, to be one hundred cubits, to the east and to the north.
20 También midió la longitud y la anchura de la puerta del patio exterior que daba al norte.
Likewise, he measured the gate of the outer court, which looked to the way of the north, to be as much in length as in width.
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 its chambers were three from one side to the other. And its front and its vestibule, in accord with the measure of the former gate, were fifty cubits in its length and twenty-five cubits in width.
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.
Now its windows, and the vestibule, and the engravings were in accord with the measure of the gate which looked to the east. And its ascent was by seven steps, and a vestibule was before it.
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 the gate of the inner court was opposite the gate of the north, and that of the east. And he measured from gate to gate as one 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 led me to the way of the south, and behold, there was a gate which looked toward the south. And he measured its front and its vestibule to be the same as the measures above.
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 its windows and the vestibule all around were like the other windows: fifty cubits in length and twenty-five cubits in width.
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 to ascend to it, and a vestibule before its doors. And there were engraved palm trees, one on each side, at its front.
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 gate at the inner court, on the way to the south. And he measured from one gate to another, on the way to the south, to be one hundred cubits.
28 Me llevó al patio interior por la puerta sur, y midió la puerta sur. Medía lo mismo que las anteriores.
And he led me into the inner court, to the south gate. And he measured the gate to be in accord with the measures above.
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.
Its chamber, and its front, and its vestibule had the same measures. And its windows and its vestibule all around were fifty cubits in length, and twenty-five cubits in width.
30 (Los otros pórticos circundantes medían veinticinco codos de largo y cinco de profundidad).
And the vestibule all around was twenty-five cubits in length, and five cubits in width.
31 El pórtico daba al patio exterior y sus pilares estaban decorados con dibujos de palmeras. Tenía ocho escalones para llegar a él.
And its vestibule was toward the outer court, and its palm trees were at the front. And there were eight steps to ascend to it.
32 Me llevó al patio interior, en el lado este. Midió la puerta y medía lo mismo que las anteriores.
And he led me into the inner court, along the way of the east. And he measured the gate to be in accord with the measures above.
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.
Its chamber, and its front, and its vestibule were as above. And its windows and its vestibules all around were fifty cubits in length, and twenty-five cubits in width.
34 El pórtico daba al patio exterior y sus postes estaban decorados con dibujos de palmeras. Tenía ocho escalones para llegar a ella.
And it had a vestibule, that is, at the outer court. And the engraved palm trees at its front were on one side and the other. And its ascent was by eight steps.
35 Me llevó a la puerta norte y la midió. Medía lo mismo que las anteriores,
And he led me to the gate which looked toward the north. And he measured it to be in accord with the measures above.
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 chamber, and its front, and its vestibule, and its windows all around were fifty cubits in length, and twenty-five cubits in width.
37 El pórtico daba al patio exterior y sus postes estaban decorados con palmeras por todos lados. Tenía ocho escalones para subir.
And its vestibule looked toward the outer court. And an engraving of palm trees at its front was on one side and the other. And its ascent was by eight steps.
38 Junto al pórtico de las puertas interiores había una sala con una puerta. Allí se lavaba el holocausto.
And at each one of the storerooms, there was a door at the front of the gates. There, they washed the holocaust.
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 at the vestibule of the gate, there were two tables on one side, and two tables on the other side, so that the holocaust, and the offering for sin, and the offering for transgression could be immolated upon them.
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.
And at the outer side, which ascends to the door of the gate that goes toward the north, there were two tables. And at the other side, before the vestibule of the gate, there 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.
Four tables were on one side, and four tables were on the other side; along the sides of the gate, there were eight tables, upon which they immolated.
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.
Now the four tables for the holocausts were constructed of square stones: one and a half cubit in length, and one and a half cubits in width, and one cubit in height. Upon these, they placed the vessels, in which the holocaust and the victim were immolated.
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 their edges were one palm in width, turned inward all around. And the flesh of the oblation was on the tables.
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 outside the interior gate, there were storerooms for the cantors, in the inner court, which was beside the gate that looks toward the north. And their face was opposite the way to the south; one was beside the east gate, which looked toward the way of the 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 is the storeroom that looks toward the south; it shall be for the priests who keep watch for the protection of the temple.
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”.
Moreover, the storeroom that looks toward the north will be for the priests who keep watch over the ministry of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, those among the sons of Levi who may draw near to the Lord, so that they may minister to him.”
47 Midió el patio cuadrado: cien codos de largo y cien de ancho. El altar estaba en el patio, frente al Templo.
And he measured the court to be one hundred cubits in length, and one hundred cubits in width, with four equal sides. And the altar was before the face of the temple.
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.
And he led me into the vestibule of the temple. And he measured the vestibule to be five cubits on one side, and five cubits on the other side. And the width of the gate was three cubits on one side, and three cubits on the other side.
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.
Now the length of the vestibule was twenty cubits, and the width was eleven cubits, and there were eight steps to ascend to it. And there were pillars at the front, one on this side and another on that side.
