Ezequiel 43

1 Entonces me llevó a la puerta ubicada hacia el oriente.

And he led me to the gate which looked toward the way of the east.

2 Vi la gloria del ʼElohim de Israel que llegaba por el camino del oriente. Su voz era como el sonido de muchas aguas, y la tierra resplandecía a causa de su gloria.

And behold, the glory of the God of Israel entered along the way of the east. And his voice was like the voice of many waters. And the earth was resplendent before his majesty.

3 Era como la apariencia de la visión que tuve cuando Él llegó a destruir la ciudad. Las visiones eran como la visión que tuve junto al río Quebar. Entonces caí sobre mi rostro.

And I saw a vision in accord with the form that I had seen when he arrived so that he might destroy the city. And the form was in accord with the sight that I had seen beside the river Chebar. And I fell upon my face.

4 La gloria de Yavé entró al Templo por la puerta ubicada hacia el oriente.

And the majesty of the Lord advanced into the temple, along the way of the gate which looked toward the east.

5 El Espíritu me levantó y me llevó al patio interno, y vi que la gloria de Yavé llenaba la Casa.

And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court. And behold, the house was filled with the glory of the Lord.

6 Entonces, mientras el varón estaba en pie junto a mí, oí a uno que me hablaba desde el Templo.

And I heard someone speaking to me from the house, and the man who was standing beside me

7 Me dijo: Hijo de hombre, éste es el lugar de mi trono, el lugar de las plantas de mis pies, donde moraré entre los hijos de Israel para siempre. La Casa de Israel no volverá a contaminar mi santo Nombre, ni ellos ni sus reyes con sus prostituciones, ni con los cadáveres de sus reyes cuando mueran,

said to me: “Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the steps of my feet, is where I live: in the midst of the sons of Israel forever. And the house of Israel, they and their kings, shall no longer defile my holy name by their fornications, and by the ruinous ways of their kings, and by exalted places.

8 al poner su entrada junto a mi entrada, y sus columnas junto a mis columnas. Pues al haber solo una pared entre mí y ellos, contaminaron mi santo Nombre con las repugnancias que cometieron, por lo cual en mi furor los consumí.

They have fabricated their threshold beside my threshold, and their doorposts beside my doorposts. And there was a wall between me and them. And they defiled my holy name by the abominations which they committed. Because of this, I consumed them in my wrath.

9 Ahora pues, alejen ellos de Mí sus idolatrías. Los cadáveres de sus reyes estén bien lejos de Mí. Y Yo habitaré en medio de ellos para siempre.

Now therefore, let them drive away their fornications, and the ruinous ways of their kings, from before me. And I will live in their midst forever.

10 Tú, oh hijo de hombre, muestra este Templo a la Casa de Israel, para que se avergüencen de sus iniquidades y tomen las medidas de su diseño.

But as for you, son of man, reveal the temple to the house of Israel, and let them be confounded by their iniquities, and let them measure the fabrication,

11 Si se avergüenzan de todo lo que hicieron, explícales el diseño de la Casa: su estructura, sus salidas, sus entradas, todos sus detalles, todas sus descripciones, sus configuraciones y sus Leyes. Descríbela delante de sus ojos para que guarden todos sus detalles y sus reglamentos, y los practiquen.

and let them be ashamed at all the things that they have done. Reveal to them the form and the fabrication of the house, its exits and entrances, and its entire description, and all of its precepts, and its entire order, and all of its laws. And you shall write in their sight, so that they may observe its entire description and its precepts, and so that they may accomplish them.”

12 Ésta es la Ley de la Casa: Sobre la cumbre de la montaña, toda el área alrededor de ella será santísima. Mira, esa es la Ley de la Casa.

This is the law of the house at the summit of the mountain, with all its parts all around. It is the Holy of Holies. Therefore, this is the law of the house.

13 Estas son las medidas del altar en codos: La base era de medio metro de anchura. Su moldura alrededor del borde, de 25 centímetros. Ésta será la parte superior del altar.

Now these are the measures of the altar by the most true cubit, which has a cubit and a palm. Its bend was a cubit, and it was a cubit in width. And its boundary, even to its edge and all around, was the width of one palm. The trough of the altar was like this also.

14 Desde la base en el suelo hasta el zócalo inferior habrá un metro por medio metro de anchura. Desde la cornisa menor hasta la cornisa mayor habrá dos metros por medio metro de anchura.

And from the bend at the floor even to the furthest rim was two cubits, and the width was one cubit. And from the lesser rim even to the greater rim was four cubits, and the width was one cubit.

15 El altar será de dos metros de alto. Encima del altar habrá cuatro cuernos.

Now the hearth itself was four cubits. And from the hearth going upward, there were four horns.

16 El altar será cuadrado: seis metros de longitud y de anchura por sus cuatro lados.

And the hearth was twelve cubits in length by twelve cubits in width, foursquare, with equal sides.

17 El zócalo tendrá siete metros de longitud y de anchura en sus cuatro lados. La moldura alrededor será de 25 centímetros de anchura. La base será de medio metro. Y sus gradas se dirigirán hacia el oriente.

And the rim was fourteen cubits in length, by fourteen cubits in width, at its four corners. And the crown all around it was one half cubit, and its bend was one cubit all around. And its steps turned toward the east.

18 Y me dijo: Hijo de hombre, ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Éstas son las Ordenanzas para el día cuando se haga el altar a fin de ofrecer holocaustos y esparcir la sangre sobre él.

And he said to me: “Son of man, thus says the Lord God: These are the rituals of the altar, in whatever day it will be made, so that holocausts may be offered upon it, and blood may be poured out.

19 Darás un becerro como ofrenda por el pecado a los sacerdotes levitas que son del linaje de Sadoc y que están cerca de Mí para servirme, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.

And you shall present these to the priests and to the Levites, who are of the offspring of Zadok, those who draw near to me, says the Lord God, so that they may offer to me a calf from the herd on behalf of sin.

20 Tomarás de su sangre, la pondrás en los cuatro cuernos del altar en las cuatro esquinas alrededor del zócalo y alrededor de la moldura. Así lo purificarás y harás sacrificio que apacigua por el Templo.

And you shall take from its blood, and you shall place it on its four horns, and on the four corners of the rim, and on the crown all around. And so shall you cleanse and expiate it.

21 Tomarás luego el becerro para el sacrificio que apacigua y lo quemarás fuera del Santuario según la Ley de la Casa.

And you shall take the calf, which will be offered for sin, and you shall burn it in a separate place in the house, outside of the sanctuary.

22 Al segundo día ofrecerás un macho cabrío sin defecto como ofrenda por el pecado. Purificarán el altar como lo purificaron con el becerro.

And on the second day, you shall offer an immaculate he-goat from among the she-goats on behalf of sin. And they shall expiate the altar, just as they expiated it with the calf.

23 Cuando termines de purificarlo, ofrecerás un becerro y un carnero sin defecto del rebaño.

And when you will have completed expiating it, you shall offer an immaculate calf from the herd and an immaculate ram from the flock.

24 Los ofrecerás delante de Yavé. Los sacerdotes echarán sal sobre ellos, y los ofrecerán como holocausto a Yavé.

And you shall offer them in the sight of the Lord. And the priests shall sprinkle salt over them, and they shall offer them as a holocaust to the Lord.

25 Por siete días ofrecerán cada día como ofrenda por el pecado un macho cabrío, un becerro y un carnero sin defecto del rebaño.

For seven days, you shall offer daily a he-goat on behalf of sin. Also, they shall offer a calf from the herd, and a ram from the flock, ones that are immaculate.

26 Por siete días ofrecerán sacrificio que apacigua por el altar, y lo purificarán. Así lo consagrarán.

For seven days, they shall expiate the altar, and they shall cleanse it, and they shall fill its hand.

27 Cuando ellos completen estos días, del octavo día en adelante, sucederá que los sacerdotes ofrecerán los holocaustos y ofrendas de paz de ustedes sobre el altar. Y me serán aceptos, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.

Then, when the days have been completed, on the eighth day and thereafter, the priests shall offer your holocausts upon the altar along with the peace offering. And I will be pleased with you, says the Lord God.”
