Ezequiel 40

1 En el año veinte y cinco de nuestro cautiverio, al principio del año, a los diez del mes, a los catorce años después que la ciudad fue herida, en aquel mismo día, fue sobre mí la mano de Jehová, y llevóme allá.

Almost 25 years after we had been [to Babylonia], on the tenth day of the first month of that year, almost 14years after Jerusalem had been destroyed, in a vision [I felt] the power [MTY] of Yahweh on me, and he took me to Israel.

2 En visiones de Dios me llevó a la tierra de Israel, y púsome sobre un monte muy alto, sobre el cual estaba como edificio de una ciudad al mediodía.

He set me on a very high mountain. On the south side of that mountain there were some buildings that appeared to be [part of] a city.

3 Y llevóme allí, y he aquí un varón cuyo aspecto era como aspecto de metal, y tenía un cordel de lino en su mano, y una caña de medir; el cual estaba a la puerta.

When he took there, I saw a man whose face was like [SIM] bronze. He was standing in the entrance [of a building]. He had a linen cord and a measuring stick in his hand.

4 Y aquel varón me habló: Hijo del hombre, mira de tus ojos, y oye de tus oídos, y pon tu corazón a todas las cosas que te muestro; porque para que yo te mostrase eres traído aquí: cuenta todo lo que ves a la casa de Israel.

He said to me, “You human, look carefully at everything that I am going to show you, and pay attention to everything that I say and everything that I will show you, because that is why you have been brought here. [And then later] you must tell the Israeli people everything that you have seen [here].”

5 Y he aquí un muro fuera de la casa al derredor; y la caña de medir que aquel varón tenía en la mano era de seis codos, de a codo y palmo; y midió la anchura del edificio de una caña, y la altura de otra caña.

[In the vision I saw that] there was a wall that completely surrounded the temple area. The measuring stick in the man’s hand was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) long. He measured the wall: It was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) thick and (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) high.

6 Y vino a la puerta, la haz de la cual era hacia el oriente, y subió por sus gradas, y midió el un poste de la puerta de una caña en anchura, y el otro poste de otra caña en anchura.

Then he went to the entryway on the east [side of the temple]. He climbed the steps and measured the outer threshold/opening for the entryway: It was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) deep.

7 Y cada cámara, de una caña en longitud, y de otra caña en anchura; y entre las cámaras dejó cinco codos en anchura; y cada poste de la puerta junto a la entrada de la puerta por de dentro, una caña.

Next, there was an entry hallway with [three] (alcoves/very small rooms) along each side [where the guards stood]. Each of the alcoves was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) on each side. There was a dividing wall between each alcove that was (8-3/4 feet/2.7 meters) wide. At the end of the entry hallway was the inner threshold/opening for the entryway, (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) deep. It led to the entry room [to the inner courtyard] and faced the temple.

8 Y midió la entrada de la puerta por de dentro, de una caña.

Then he measured the entry room at the end of the entry hallway.

9 Y midió la entrada del portal de ocho codos, y sus postes de dos codos, y la entrada del portal por de dentro.

It was about (14 feet/4.2 meters) long, and its supporting columns were (3-1/2 feet/1.1 meters) thick. The entry room of the entryway was at the end of the entry hallway that faced the temple [and extended into the courtyard].

10 Y la puerta de hacia el oriente tenía tres cámaras de cada parte, todas tres de una medida; y los portales de cada parte de una medida.

Inside the east entryway there were three alcoves on each side of the entry hallway. They each had the same length and width. And the measurements of the walls that divided the alcoves were all identical.

11 Y midió la anchura de la entrada del portal de la puerta de diez codos: la longitud del portal de trece codos.

Then he measured the threshold/opening for the entryway: It was (17-1/2 feet/5.3 meters) wide, and the entry hallway [between the alcoves] was (22-3/4 feet/6.9 meters) wide.

12 Y el espacio de delante de las cámaras, de un codo de la una parte, y de otro codo de la otra; y cada cámara tenía seis codos de una parte, y seis codos de otra.

In front of each alcove was a low wall about (21 inches/53 cm.) high, and the alcoves were (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) on each side.

13 Y midió la puerta desde la techumbre de la una cámara hasta su techumbre, de anchura de veinte y cinco codos puerta contra puerta.

Then he measured the width of the roof of the entrance hallway, the distance between the rear wall of one alcove to the rear wall of the opposite alcove, [including the supporting walls along each side]. It was (43-3/4 feet/13.3 meters).

14 E hizo los portales de sesenta codos, cada portal del patio, y del portal todo al derredor.

Then he measured all along the dividing walls between the alcoves all along the inside of the entry hallway: It was (105 feet/31.8 meters). He measured as far as the entry room of the entryway.

15 Y desde la delantera de la puerta de la entrada hasta la delantera de la entrada de la puerta de dentro, cincuenta codos.

The length from [outer] opening of the entryway to the far end of the entry room was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters).

16 Y había ventanas estrechas en las cámaras, y en sus portales por de dentro de la puerta al derredor, y asimismo en los arcos; y las ventanas estaban al derredor por de dentro, y en cada poste estaban esculpidas palmas.

There were [small] windows in the outside walls of all the alcoves, and also in the inner dividing walls between the alcoves. There were also small windows in the entry room. The dividing walls were decorated with [carvings of] palm trees.

17 Y llevóme al patio de afuera, y he aquí cámaras, y solado hecho al patio todo en derredor; treinta cámaras había en aquel patio.

Then [in the vision] he brought me to the outer courtyard. There I saw some rooms, and a stone path/pavement along the walls around the courtyard. There were thirty rooms along the path.

18 Y estaba solado al lado de las puertas delante de la longitud de los portales solado abajo.

The stone path was all around the courtyard, and it extended out from the walls into the courtyard for the same distance as the entry room [of the entryway]. That was the lower path.

19 Y midió la anchura desde la delantera de la puerta de abajo, hasta la delantera del patio de dentro por de fuera, de cien codos hacia el oriente y el norte.

Then the man measured the distance [across the outer courtyard of the temple], between the inner [entrance of] the entryway and [the wall surrounding the] inner courtyard: It was (175 feet/53 meters) [on the east side and on the north side of the courtyard].

20 Y de la puerta que estaba hacia el norte en el patio de afuera, midió su longitud y su anchura.

Then he measured how long and how wide was the entryway that was on the north side, the entrance into the outer courtyard [of the temple].

21 Y sus cámaras, tres de una parte, y tres de otra, y sus postes, y sus arcos eran como la medida de la puerta primera, cincuenta codos su longitud, y su anchura de veinte y cinco codos.

There were three alcoves on each side of the entryway hall. The measurements of the alcoves, the dividing walls between the alcoves, and the entry room were the same as as those in the first entryway. The length from [outer] opening of the entryway to the far end of the entry room was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters). The entryway was (43-3/4 feet/13.3 meters) wide.

22 Y sus ventanas, y sus arcos, y sus palmas eran conforme a la medida de la puerta que estaba hacia el oriente; y subían a ella por siete gradas, y sus arcos delante de ellas.

Its windows and the entry room and the palm tree [decorations all] measured the same as the ones on the east [side]. There were seven steps up to the outer threshold/opening for the entryway, and an entry room was at the other end of the entryway.

23 Y la una puerta del patio de adentro estaba en frente de la otra puerta al norte, y al oriente; y midió de puerta a puerta cien codos.

There was an entryway to the inner courtyard that faces the north entryway, like there was on the east [side]. The man measured [the distance] from [the north] entryway to the entryway [on the other side]; it was (175 feet/53 meters).

24 Y llevóme hacia el mediodía, y he aquí una puerta hacia el mediodía; y midió sus portales y sus arcos conforme a estas medidas dichas.

Then he brought me through the south entryway [into the outer courtyard], and he measured it. It measured the same as the other entryways. Its alcoves, its dividing walls between the alcoves, and its entry room measured the same as the ones on the other sides.

25 Y tenía sus ventanas, y sus arcos al derredor, como las ventanas ya dichas: la longitud era de cincuenta codos, y la anchura de veinte y cinco codos.

The alcoves and the entry room had [narrow] windows along the walls, like on the other [sides]. The length [of the outer opening of the] entryway [to the far end of the entry room was] was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) and the entryway was (43-3/4 feet/13.3 meters) wide.

26 Y sus gradas eran siete gradas, y sus arcos delante de ellas; y tenía palmas, una de una parte, y otra en sus postes.

There were seven steps up to the outer threshold/opening for the entryway, and an entry room was (opposite it/at the end of the entryway facing the courtyard). It [also] had [carvings of] palm trees on the dividing walls that were between the alcoves.

27 Y tal era la puerta de hacia el mediodía, del patio de dentro; y midió de puerta a puerta hacia el mediodía cien codos.

The inner courtyard also had an entryway on the south [side]. He measured from that entryway to the entrance on the south [side of the outer courtyard; it was also] (175 feet/53 meters).

28 Y metióme en el patio de más adentro a la puerta del mediodía; y midió la puerta del mediodía conforme a estas medidas dichas:

Then [in the vision] he brought me through the south entryway into the inner courtyard, and he measured the south entryway. It measured the same as the other [entryways].

29 Y sus cámaras, y sus postes, y sus arcos eran conforme a estas medidas dichas; y tenía sus ventanas, y sus arcos al derredor: la longitud era de cincuenta codos, y la anchura de veinte y cinco codos.

Its alcoves [along the entry hallway], its dividing walls [between the alcoves], and its entry room measured the same as [the ones on] the other [sides]. The alcoves and the entry room had windows. The length [of the outer opening of the] entryway [to the far end of the entry room was] was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) and the entryway was (43-3/4 feet/13.3 meters) wide.

30 Y tenía arcos al derredor de longitud de veinte y cinco codos, y la anchura de cinco codos.

The entry rooms around [the inner courtyard] were (43-3/4 feet/13.3 meters) wide and (8.7 feet/2.6 meters) long.

31 Y sus arcos afuera al patio, y palmas a cada uno de sus postes; y sus gradas eran ocho gradas.

The entry room faced the outer courtyard. There were [carvings of] palm trees that decorated the columns, and there were eight steps [up] to the entryway.

32 Y llevóme al patio adentro hacia el oriente, y midió la puerta conforme a estas medidas dichas.

Then he led me to the east side of the inner courtyard, and he measured the entrance. It had the same measurements as the other [entrances]

33 Y sus cámaras, y sus postes, y sus arcos conforme a estas medidas dichas; y tenía sus ventanas, y sus arcos al derredor: la longitud de cincuenta codos, y la anchura de veinte y cinco codos.

Its alcoves and dividing walls and entry room measured the same as the others.

34 Y sus arcos afuera al patio, y palmas a cada uno de sus postes de una parte y de otra; y sus gradas eran ocho gradas.

Its entry room faced the outer courtyard. It also had carvings of palm trees that decorated the walls, and it had eight steps up to it.

35 Y llevóme a la puerta del norte, y midió conforme a estas medidas dichas.

Then he led me to the entrance on the north side and measured it. It measured the same as the other entrances.

36 Sus cámaras, y sus postes, y sus arcos, y sus ventanas al derredor: la longitud de cincuenta codos, y la anchura de veinte y cinco codos.

And its alcoves and walls between them and the entry room all had [small] windows in the walls. It was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) long and (43.7 feet/13.3 meters) wide.

37 Y sus postes afuera al patio, y palmas a cada uno de sus postes de una parte y de otra; y sus gradas eran ocho gradas.

Its entry room faced the outer courtyard. There were [carvings of] palm trees that decorated its walls, and there were eight steps [up] to the entryway.

38 Y había allí una cámara, y su puerta con postes de portales: allí lavarán el holocausto.

[In the vision, I saw that] in the inner entry room of the north entryway there was a door to a side room. That side room was where the [carcasses of the] animals that would be burned completely [on the altar] were washed.

39 Y en la entrada de la puerta había dos mesas de la una parte, y otras dos de la otra, para degollar sobre ellas el holocausto, y la expiación, y el pecado.

In the entry room, there were two tables on each side [of the room]. On those tables would be slaughtered the animals that would be completely burned, and the animals for offerings for sins that people had committed, and offerings to cause people to longer be guilty for having sinned.

40 Y al lado por de fuera de las gradas, a la entrada de la puerta del norte había dos mesas; y al otro lado que estaba a la entrada de la puerta otras dos mesas:

Along the outside wall of the entry room, on each side of the steps at the opening to the entryway on the north side, were two tables.

41 Cuatro mesas de la una parte, y otras cuatro mesas de la otra parte: había a cada lado de esta puerta ocho mesas, sobre las cuales degollarán.

[So] there were four tables outside the entrance and four tables inside the entry room, on which the [animals to be] sacrificed were slaughtered.

42 Y las cuatro de estas mesas para el holocausto eran de piedras labradas, de longitud de un codo y medio, y de anchura de otro codo y medio, y de altura de un codo: sobre estas pondrán las herramientas con que degollarán el holocausto y el sacrificio.

There were also four tables of cut stone for the offerings to be completely burned, (31-1/2 in./80 cm.) on each side and (21 in./53 cm.) high. On those stone tables would be placed the tools for slaughtering all the animals for the sacrifices.

43 Y había ganchos de un palmo aparejados de dentro todo al derredor; y sobre las mesas la carne de la ofrenda.

The meat for the offerings would be placed on [stone] tables. There were hooks [on which the meat was hung], each with two prongs, each (3 in./8 cm.) long, fastened to the walls [of the entry room].

44 Y de fuera de la puerta de la parte de adentro, en el patio de adentro a la parte que estaba al lado de la puerta del norte, estaban las cámaras de los cantores, las cuales miraban hacia el mediodía: una estaba al lado de la puerta del oriente que miraba hacia el norte.

Outside the inner entryway, inside the inner courtyard, were two rooms, one on the north side and one on the south side.

45 Y díjome: Esta cámara que mira hacia el mediodía será de los sacerdotes que tienen la guarda del templo.

The man said to me, “The room whose door faces south is for the priests who are in charge of the work in the temple.

46 Y la cámara que mira hacia el norte será de los sacerdotes que tienen la guarda del altar: estos son los hijos de Sadoc, los cuales son llamados de los hijos de Leví al Señor, para ministrarle.

The room whose door faces north is for the priests who are in charge of [the work at] the altar. They are the descendants of Zadok; they are the only descendants of Levi who are permitted to approach Yahweh while they work for him.”

47 Y midió el patio, la longitud de cien codos, y la anchura de otros cien codos, cuadrado: y había un altar delante del templo.

Then he measured the courtyard: It was square, (175 feet/53 meters) long and (175 feet/53 meters) wide. The altar was in front of the temple.

48 Y llevóme a la entrada del templo, y midió cada poste de la entrada, cinco codos de una parte, y cinco codos de otra; y la anchura de la puerta tres codos de una parte, y tres codos de otra.

Then [in the vision] he brought me to the entry room of the temple, and measured the walls on each side of the entrance: They were (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) thick. The entrance was (24-1/2 feet/7.4 meters) wide, and the walls on each side of the entrance were (5-1/4 feet/1.6 meters) long.

49 La longitud de la portada veinte codos, y la anchura once codos, a la cual subían por gradas; y había columnas junto a los postes, una de una parte, y otra de otra.

The entry room was (35 feet/10.6 meters) wide on each side. There were ten steps up to it, and there were pillars on each side of the entrance.
