Ezequiel 40

1 EN el año veinticinco de nuestro cautiverio, al principio del año, á los diez del mes, á los catorce años después que la ciudad fué herida, en aquel mismo día fué 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 á la tierra de Israel, y púsome sobre un monte muy alto, sobre el cual había 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: y él estaba á 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 hablóme aquel varón, [diciendo]: Hijo del hombre, mira con tus ojos, y oye con tus oídos, y pon tu corazón á todas las cosas que te muestro; porque para que yo te las mostrase eres traído aquí. Cuenta todo lo que ves á 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: y la caña de medir que aquel varón tenía en la mano, era de seis codos, de á 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 Después vino á la puerta que daba cara 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 ancho.

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 tenía una caña de largo, y una caña de ancho; y entre las cámaras había cinco codos en ancho; y cada poste de la puerta junto á la entrada de la puerta por 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 Midió asimismo la entrada de la puerta por de dentro, una caña.

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

9 Midió luego la entrada del portal, de ocho codos, y sus postes de dos codos; y la puerta del portal estaba 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: también de una medida los portales de cada parte.

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 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 el techo de la una cámara hasta el techo de la otra, veinticinco codos de anchura, 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 postes de sesenta codos, [cada] poste del atrio y del portal por todo alrededor.

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 alrededor, y asimismo en los corredores; y las ventanas estaban alrededor por de dentro; y en cada poste había 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 Llevóme luego al atrio exterior, y he aquí, había cámaras, y solado hecho al atrio en derredor: treinta cámaras había alrededor en aquel atrio.

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 el solado al lado de las puertas, en proporción á la longitud de los portales, [era] el solado más bajo.

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 atrio interior 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 atrio exterior, 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 eran 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 veinticinco su anchura.

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 á la medida de la puerta que estaba hacia el oriente; y subían á ella por siete gradas; y delante de ellas estaban sus arcos.

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 puerta del atrio interior estaba enfrente de la puerta al norte; y [así] al oriente: y midió de puerta á 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 Llevóme después hacia el mediodía, y he aquí una puerta hacia el mediodía: y midió sus portales y sus arcos conforme á estas medidas.

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 alrededor, como las ventanas: la longitud era de cincuenta codos, y la anchura de veinticinco 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 de siete peldaños, con sus arcos delante de ellas; y tenía palmas, una de una parte, y otra de la 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 había puerta de hacia el mediodía del atrio interior: y midió de puerta á 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 Metióme después en el atrio de adentro á la puerta del mediodía, y midió la puerta del mediodía conforme á estas medidas.

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 á estas medidas; y tenía sus ventanas y sus arcos alrededor: la longitud era de cincuenta codos, y de veinticinco codos la anchura.

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 los arcos alrededor eran de veinticinco codos de largo, y cinco codos de ancho.

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 caían afuera al atrio, con palmas en sus postes; y sus gradas eran de ocho escalones.

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 atrio interior hacia el oriente, y midió la puerta conforme á estas medidas.

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 eran sus cámaras, y sus postes, y sus arcos, conforme á estas medidas: y tenía sus ventanas y sus arcos alrededor: la longitud era de cincuenta codos, y la anchura de veinticinco codos.

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

34 Y sus arcos caían afuera al atrio, con palmas en sus postes de una parte y otra: y sus gradas eran de ocho escalones.

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 Llevóme luego á la puerta del norte, y midió conforme á estas medidas:

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 alrededor: la longitud era de cincuenta codos, y de veinticinco codos el ancho.

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 caían fuera al atrio, con palmas á cada uno de sus postes de una parte y otra: y sus gradas eran de ocho peldaños.

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 sacrificio por 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, á la entrada de la puerta del norte, había dos mesas; y al otro lado que estaba á la entrada de la puerta, 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 cuatro mesas de la otra parte al lado de la 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 mesas para el holocausto eran de piedras labradas, de un codo y medio de longitud, y codo y medio de ancho, y de altura de un codo: sobre éstas 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 dentro, ganchos de un palmo, dispuestos por todo alrededor; 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 fuera de la puerta interior, en el atrio de adentro 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 es 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 es 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 atrio, cien codos de longitud, y la anchura de cien codos cuadrados; y el altar estaba delante de la casa.

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 al pórtico del templo, y midió cada poste del pórtico, 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 del pórtico veinte codos, y la anchura once codos, al cual subían por gradas: y había columnas junto á los postes, una de un lado, y otra de otro.

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.
