< Ezequiel 42 >

1 El hombre me sacó por la puerta norte al patio exterior, a las habitaciones que se encuentran en el lado más alejado del patio del Templo, junto al muro exterior norte.
And he brought me forth into the outward court by the way that leadeth to the north, and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the separate building, and over against the house toward the north.
2 El edificio que daba a la puerta norte tenía cien codos de largo y cincuenta de ancho.
In the face of the north door was the length of a hundred cubits, and the breadth of fifty cubits.
3 Tenía tres pisos de salas abiertas a ambos lados, uno que daba a la zona de veinte codos del patio interior y otro que daba al pavimento del patio exterior.
Over against the twenty cubits of the inner court, and over against the pavement of the outward court that was paved with stone, where there was a gallery joined to a triple gallery.
4 Delante de las salas había un pasillo interior de diez codos de ancho y cien de largo. Sus puertas daban al norte.
And before the chambers was a walk ten cubits broad, looking to the inner parts of a way of one cubit. And their doors were toward the north.
5 Las habitaciones superiores eran más pequeñas debido al espacio que ocupaban las salas abiertas en los niveles inferior y medio del edificio.
Where were the store chambers lower above: because they bore up the galleries, which appeared above out of them from the lower parts, and from the midst of the building.
6 Como no tenían pilares como los patios, las habitaciones superiores estaban más alejadas que las de los niveles inferior y medio.
For they were of three stories, and had not pillars, as the pillars of the courts: therefore did they appear above out of the lower places, and out of the middle places, fifty cubits from the ground.
7 Delante de las habitaciones había un muro exterior de cincuenta codos de largo, paralelo al patio exterior.
And the outward wall that went about by the chambers, which were towards the outward court on the forepart of the chambers, was fifty cubits long.
8 Las habitaciones del patio exterior tenían una longitud de cincuenta codos, pero las que daban al Templo tenían una longitud de cien codos.
For the length of the chambers of the outward court was fifty cubits: and the length before the face of the temple, a hundred cubits.
9 Debajo de estas habitaciones había una entrada en el lado este que venía del patio exterior.
And there was under these chambers, an entrance from the east, for them that went into them out of the outward court.
10 A lo largo del muro del sur lado del patio exterior había habitaciones junto al patio y frente al edificio.
In the breadth of the outward wall of the court that was toward the east, over against the separate building, and there were chambers before the building.
11 Frente a ellas había un pasillo, al igual que las habitaciones del lado norte. Estas habitaciones tenían la misma longitud y anchura, las mismas puertas, planta y salidas.
And the way before them was like the chambers which were toward the north: they wore as long as they, and as broad as they: and all the going is to them, and their fashions, and their doors were alike.
12 Del mismo modo, había una entrada debajo de las habitaciones del lado sur del edificio, que venía del lado este.
According to the doors of the chambers that were towards the south: there was a door in the head of the way, which way was before the porch, separated towards the east as one entereth in.
13 El hombre me dijo: “Las habitaciones del norte y del sur que dan al patio del Templo son habitaciones sagradas donde los sacerdotes que se presentan ante el Señor comerán las ofrendas más sagradas. Allí colocarán las ofrendas santísimas porque el lugar es sagrado, e incluyen las ofrendas de grano, las ofrendas por el pecado y las ofrendas por la culpa.
And he said to me: The chambers of the north, and the chambers of the south, which are before the separate building: they are holy chambers, in which the priests shall eat, that approach to the Lord into the holy of holies: there they shall lay the most holy things, and the offering for sin, and for trespass: for it is a holy place.
14 Una vez que los sacerdotes hayan entrado en estas habitaciones, no deben salir al patio exterior antes de dejar sus ropas sacerdotales, porque éstas son sagradas. Deben cambiarse de ropa antes de ir donde está la gente común”.
And when the priests shall have entered in, they shall not go out of the holy places into the outward court: but there they shall lay their vestments, wherein they minister, for they are holy: and they shall put on other garments, and so they shall go forth to the people.
15 Cuando el hombre terminó de medir dentro del área del Templo, me sacó por la puerta oriental y midió también los alrededores.
Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me out by the way of the gate that looked toward the east: and he measured it on every side round about.
16 Con la vara de medir midió el lado oriental. Tenía quinientos codos de largo.
And he measured toward the east with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about.
17 Midió el lado norte. Tenía quinientos codos de largo.
And he measured toward the north five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about.
18 Midió el lado sur. Tenía quinientos codos de largo.
And towards the south he measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about.
19 Luego dio la vuelta y midió el lado oeste. Tenía quinientos codos de largo.
And toward the west he measured five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed.
20 Así midió los cuatro lados. Había un muro que lo rodeaba, de quinientos codos de largo y quinientos de ancho, que separaba lo sagrado de lo común.
By the four winds he measured the wall thereof on every side round about, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits broad, making a separation between the sanctuary and the place of the people.
