Ezequiel 46
1 Esto es lo que dice el Señor Dios: “La puerta oriental del atrio interior se mantendrá cerrada durante los seis días laborables, pero se abrirá el sábado y el día de la luna nueva
“‘This is [also] what [I], Yahweh the Lord, declare: The east entryway of the inner courtyard must be shut during the six days in which people work each week, but on the Sabbath days and on the days when there is a new moon, that entryway must [remain] open until that evening.
2 El príncipe debe entrar por el pórtico de la puerta desde fuera y se situará junto al poste de la puerta, y los sacerdotes sacrificarán sus holocaustos y ofrendas de paz. Se inclinará en señal de respeto en el umbral de la puerta y saldrá, pero la puerta no se cerrará hasta la noche.
The king must enter the courtyard through the entry room of the entryway, and stand alongside the entry post. [Then] the priests must sacrifice the animal that the king brought to be completely [on the altar], and also his offering to maintain fellowship with me. The king must worship me at the entrance of the entryway, and then he must go out. [After he leaves], the entryway will not be shut until that evening.
3 El pueblo de Israel también se inclinará ante el Señor a la entrada de la puerta los sábados y las lunas nuevas.
On the Sabbath days and on the [days when there is a] new moon, the people must worship [me] at the entrance of the entryway.
4 “El holocausto que el príncipe debe ofrecer al Señor el día de sábado será de seis corderos y un carnero, todos sin defectos.
The offering that the king brings to be completely burned on the Sabbath day must be six lambs and one ram, all with no defects.
5 La ofrenda de grano que acompañará al carnero será de un efa, y la ofrenda de grano con los corderos será la cantidad que él elija, junto con un hin de aceite de oliva por cada efa de grano.
The offering [that he gives] with the ram must be a bushel of grain, and the grain [that he offers] with the lambs should be as much as he desires to offer, along with (1 gallon/3.8 liters) of [olive] oil for each bushel [of grain].
6 El día de la Luna Nueva se ofrecerá un novillo, seis corderos y un carnero. Todos ellos deberán estar libres de defectos.
[Then] each day that there is a new moon, he must offer a young bull, six lambs and a ram, all with no defects.
7 También deberá ofrecer una ofrenda de grano de un efa con el toro, un efa con el carnero y todo lo que pueda con los corderos, junto con un hin de aceite de oliva por cada efa de grano.
He must [also] provide one bushel of grain with the bull, one bushel of grain with the ram, and as much grain as he wants with the lambs, along with one quart/liter of [olive] oil with each bushel [of grain].
8 Cuando el príncipe entre, lo hará por el pórtico de la puerta, y saldrá por el mismo camino.
When the king enters [the temple area], he must enter through the entry room of the entryway, and he must go out through that same entry room [when he leaves].
9 “Cuando el pueblo de Israel se reúna ante el Señor en las fiestas religiosas regulares, el que entre por la puerta norte para adorar tiene que salir por la puerta sur, y el que entre por la puerta sur sale por la puerta norte. Nadie puede volver por la misma puerta por la que entró. Todos deben salir por la puerta opuesta.
When the Israeli people come to worship me at the festivals that I have appointed, those who enter the temple area through the north entryway must go out through the south entryway. And those who enter through the south entryway must go out through the north entryway. People must not go out through the entryway through which they entered; they must go out through the opposite entryway.
10 “El príncipe debe entrar cuando el pueblo lo haga, y salir cuando éste salga.
The king must go in when the other people go in, and go out when the people go out.
11 En las fiestas religiosas y en las reuniones periódicas, la ofrenda de grano será un efa con un toro, un efa con un carnero, y la cantidad que la gente elija con los corderos, junto con un hin de aceite de oliva por cada efa de grano.
During the festivals and sacred feasts, the king must present a bushel of grain along with each bull or ram, and as much grain as he wants to bring, along with the lambs and (1 gallon/3.8 liters) of olive oil with each bushel of grain.
12 “Cuando el príncipe decida hacer una ofrenda voluntaria al Señor, ya sea un holocausto o una ofrenda de paz, se le abrirá la puerta oriental. Ofrecerá su holocausto o su ofrenda de paz de la misma manera que lo hace el sábado. Cuando salga, la puerta deberá cerrarse tras él.
When the king gives an offering that is not required, either one to be completely burned [on the altar] or an offering to maintain fellowship with [me, Yahweh, the entryway on the east side of the courtyard] must be opened for him. Then he must present those offerings like he does on the Sabbath days. Then he must go out, and after he goes out, the entryway must be shut.
13 “Cada mañana se sacrificará un cordero de un año, sin defectos, como holocausto diario al Señor.
Every day, during the morning, someone must provide a one-year-old lamb with no defects to be an offering to me that will be completely burned.
14 Todas las mañanas se ofrecerá una ofrenda de grano de un sexto de efa con un tercio de hin de aceite de oliva para humedecer la mejor harina, como ofrenda de grano al Señor. Este reglamento debe seguirse para siempre.
Someone must also provide each morning an offering of flour. It must be one sixth of a bushel of flour mixed with one quart/liter of [olive] oil. These offerings of flour and olive oil to must be presented [to me], Yahweh, each day.
15 Asegúrate de que el cordero, la ofrenda de grano y el aceite de oliva se presenten cada mañana como un holocausto regular.
The lamb and the offering of flour and [olive] oil must be presented to me every morning, to be completely burned on the altar.
16 “Esto es lo que dice el Señor: Si el príncipe regala una propiedad a alguno de sus hijos para que la posea, ésta pertenecerá a sus descendientes. Ellos podrán heredar la propiedad.
This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare: If the king gives some of his land to one of his sons, to belong to him permanently, it will then belong to his son’s descendants forever.
17 Sin embargo, si regala una propiedad a uno de sus siervos, ese siervo sólo la poseerá hasta el año del jubileo. Entonces la propiedad volverá al príncipe. Los bienes que transmite por herencia sólo pertenecen a sus hijos, son de ellos.
However, if he gives some of his land to one of his servants, the servant is allowed to keep that land until the Year of Celebration. Then the king will own it again; the king’s land must belong to his descendants forever.
18 “El príncipe no debe tomar la tierra de la gente, expulsándolos de su propiedad. Debe dar tierra a sus hijos de su propia propiedad, para que ninguno de mi pueblo sea desalojado de su propiedad”.
The king must not take any land that the people own and force them to live somewhere else. The land that he gives to his sons must be from his own property, [not from anyone else’s property], in order that none of my people will be forced to leave his own property.’”
19 El hombre me llevó por la entrada junto a la puerta a las habitaciones sagradas orientadas al norte que pertenecían a los sacerdotes. Me mostró un lugar en el extremo occidental
Then, [in the vision], the man [who was showing the temple area to me] brought me through the entrance alongside the entryway and led me to the sacred rooms on the north side, the rooms that the priests used, and he showed me a place at the western end [of those rooms].
20 y me dijo: “Aquí es donde los sacerdotes cocinan las ofrendas por la culpa y las ofrendas por el pecado, y donde cuecen la ofrenda de grano. Esto es para que no los lleven al patio exterior y lleven la santidad al pueblo”.
He said to me, “This is the place where the priests must cook the meat of the offerings that people bring in order to no longer be guilty for having sinned, and offerings for their sins, and where they will bake bread made with the flour brought to be offerings. [They will cook those things in their rooms] in order to avoid bringing them into the outer courtyard [to cook them there], lest someone [be punished because of] touching them.”
21 Me llevó al patio exterior y me condujo a cada una de sus cuatro esquinas. Vi un patio separado en cada esquina.
Then the man brought me to the outer courtyard and led me to its four corners. In each corner I saw an enclosed area;
22 Había patios amurallados separados en las cuatro esquinas del patio exterior. Cada uno de ellos medía cuarenta codos por treinta codos; todos eran del mismo tamaño.
each of those areas was (70 feet/21.2 meters) long and (52-1/2 feet/15.9 meters) wide.
23 Cada uno de los cuatro patios tenía una cornisa de piedra con hornos construidos en la base de las paredes de cada lado.
Around the inside of each of those enclosed areas was a stone ledge, with places to make fires all around under each ledge.
24 Me dijo: “Estas son las cocinas donde los que sirven en el Templo cocinarán las ofrendas de sacrificio del pueblo”.
The man said to me, “These are the kitchens where [the descendants of Levi] who work in the temple must cook the sacrifices that the people bring.”
