Ezequiel 46
1 “‘El Señor Yahvé dice: “La puerta del atrio interior que mira hacia el oriente estará cerrada los seis días hábiles; pero el día del sábado se abrirá, y el día de la luna nueva se abrirá.
“‘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 entrará por el camino del pórtico de la puerta de afuera, y se pondrá junto al poste de la puerta; los sacerdotes prepararán su holocausto y sus ofrendas de paz, y él adorará en el umbral de la puerta. Luego 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 del país adorará a la puerta de esa puerta ante Yahvé 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 ofrecerá a Yahvé será el día del sábado, seis corderos sin defecto y un carnero sin defecto;
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 y la ofrenda de comida será un efa por el carnero, y la ofrenda de comida por los corderos que pueda dar, y un hin de aceite por un efa.
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 será un novillo sin defecto, seis corderos y un carnero. Serán sin defecto.
[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 Preparará una ofrenda: un efa por el toro, un efa por el carnero y por los corderos, según sus posibilidades, y un hin de aceite por efa.
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 camino del pórtico de la puerta, y saldrá por su 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 “‘“Pero cuando el pueblo de la tierra se presente ante Yahvé en las fiestas señaladas, el que entre por el camino de la puerta del norte para adorar saldrá por el camino de la puerta del sur; y el que entre por el camino de la puerta del sur saldrá por el camino de la puerta del norte. No regresará por el camino de la puerta por la que entró, sino que saldrá directamente delante de él.
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 entrará con ellos cuando entren. Cuando salgan, él saldrá.
The king must go in when the other people go in, and go out when the people go out.
11 “‘“En las fiestas y en las festividades señaladas, la ofrenda de comida será un efa por un toro, y un efa por un carnero, y por los corderos que pueda dar, y un hin de aceite por un efa.
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 prepare una ofrenda voluntaria, un holocausto o una ofrenda de paz como ofrenda voluntaria a Yahvé, se le abrirá la puerta que mira hacia el oriente, y preparará su holocausto y sus ofrendas de paz, como se hace en el día de reposo. Luego saldrá, y después de su salida se cerrará la puerta.
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 “‘“Prepararás cada día un cordero de un año sin defecto para un holocausto a Yahvé. Por la mañana lo prepararás.
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 Con él prepararás por la mañana una ofrenda, la sexta parte de un efa, y la tercera parte de un hin de aceite para humedecer la harina fina; una ofrenda a Yahvé continuamente por ordenanza perpetua.
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 Así prepararán el cordero, la ofrenda y el aceite, de mañana, para un holocausto continuo.”
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 “‘El Señor Yahvé dice: “Si el príncipe da un regalo a alguno de sus hijos, es su herencia. Pertenecerá a sus hijos. Es su posesión por herencia.
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 Pero si da de su herencia un regalo a uno de sus siervos, será suyo hasta el año de la libertad; entonces volverá al príncipe; pero en cuanto a su herencia, será para sus hijos.
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 Además, el príncipe no tomará la herencia del pueblo para expulsarlo de su posesión. Dará herencia a sus hijos de su propia posesión, para que mi pueblo no sea dispersado cada uno de su posesión”’”.
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 Luego me hizo pasar por la entrada, que estaba al lado de la puerta, a las habitaciones sagradas para los sacerdotes, que miraban hacia el norte. He aquí que había un lugar en la parte posterior hacia el oeste.
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 Me dijo: “Este es el lugar donde los sacerdotes cocerán la ofrenda por la culpa y la ofrenda por el pecado, y donde cocerán la ofrenda del pan, para que no las saquen al atrio exterior, para santificar 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 Entonces me sacó al atrio exterior y me hizo pasar por las cuatro esquinas del atrio; y he aquí que en cada esquina del atrio había un patio.
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 En las cuatro esquinas del atrio había patios cerrados, de cuarenta codos de largo y treinta de ancho. Estos cuatro en las esquinas 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 Había un muro alrededor de los cuatro, y se hacían hervideros debajo de los muros en todo el perímetro.
Around the inside of each of those enclosed areas was a stone ledge, with places to make fires all around under each ledge.
24 Entonces me dijo: “Estos son los hervideros, donde los ministros de la casa cocerán el 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.”
