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.
Next the man sent me out to the outer courtyard on the north side, and he brought me to rooms in front of the outer courtyard and the northern outer wall.
2 El edificio que daba a la puerta norte tenía cien codos de largo y cincuenta de ancho.
Those rooms were one hundred cubits along their front and fifty cubits in width.
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.
Some of those rooms faced the inner courtyard and were twenty cubits away from the sanctuary. There were three levels of rooms, and the ones above looked down on the ones below and were open to them, having a walkway. Some of the rooms looked out onto the outer courtyard.
4 Delante de las salas había un pasillo interior de diez codos de ancho y cien de largo. Sus puertas daban al norte.
A passage ten cubits in width and one hundred cubits in length ran in front of the rooms. The rooms' 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.
But the upper halls were smaller, for the walkways took away from them more space than they did in the lowest and middle levels 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 the halls on the third story had no columns, unlike the courtyards, which did have columns. So the highest level's rooms were smaller in size compared to the rooms in the lowest and middle levels.
7 Delante de las habitaciones había un muro exterior de cincuenta codos de largo, paralelo al patio exterior.
The outside wall ran along the rooms toward the outer courtyard, the courtyard that was in front of the rooms. That wall was fifty cubits in length.
8 Las habitaciones del patio exterior tenían una longitud de cincuenta codos, pero las que daban al Templo tenían una longitud de cien codos.
The length of the rooms of the outer courtyard was fifty cubits, and the rooms facing the sanctuary were one hundred cubits in length.
9 Debajo de estas habitaciones había una entrada en el lado este que venía del patio exterior.
There was an entrance to the lowest rooms from the east side, coming from the outer courtyard.
10 A lo largo del muro del sur lado del patio exterior había habitaciones junto al patio y frente al edificio.
Along the wall of the outer courtyard on the eastern side of the outer courtyard, in front of the sanctuary's inner courtyard, there were also rooms
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.
with a walkway in front of them. They were as the appearance of the rooms on the northern side. They had the same length and breadth and the same exits and arrangements and doors.
12 Del mismo modo, había una entrada debajo de las habitaciones del lado sur del edificio, que venía del lado este.
On the south side were doors into rooms that were just the same as on the north side. A passage on the inside had a door at its head, and the passage opened into the various rooms. On the east side there was a doorway into the passage at one end.
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.
Then the man said to me, “The northern rooms and the southern rooms that are in front of the outer courtyard are holy rooms where the priests who work nearest to Yahweh may eat the most holy food. They will put the most holy things there—the food offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering—for this 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”.
When the priests enter there, they must not go out of the holy place to the outer court, without laying aside the clothes in which they served, since these are holy. So they must dress in other clothes before going near 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.
The man completed measuring the inner house and then took me out to the gate that faced the east and measured all the surrounding area there.
16 Con la vara de medir midió el lado oriental. Tenía quinientos codos de largo.
He measured the east side with a measuring stick—five hundred cubits with the measuring stick.
17 Midió el lado norte. Tenía quinientos codos de largo.
He measured the north side—five hundred cubits with the measuring stick.
18 Midió el lado sur. Tenía quinientos codos de largo.
He also measured the south side—five hundred cubits with the measuring stick.
19 Luego dio la vuelta y midió el lado oeste. Tenía quinientos codos de largo.
He also turned and measured the west side—five hundred cubits with the measuring stick.
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.
He measured it on four sides. It had a wall around it that was five hundred cubits in length, and five hundred cubits in width, to separate the holy from that which is common.
