Ezekiel 40 (AVD)

1فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْخَامِسَةِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ سَبْيِنَا، فِي رَأْسِ ٱلسَّنَةِ، فِي ٱلْعَاشِرِ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ، فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلرَّابِعَةِ عَشَرَةَ، بَعْدَ مَا ضُرِبَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ فِي نَفْسِ ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، كَانَتْ عَلَيَّ يَدُ ٱلرَّبِّ وَأَتَى بِي إِلَى هُنَاكَ.In the twenty-fifth year of our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month—in the fourteenth year after Jerusalem had been struck down—on that very day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and He took me there.

2فِي رُؤَى ٱللهِ أَتَى بِي إِلَى أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَوَضَعَنِي عَلَى جَبَلٍ عَالٍ جِدًّا، عَلَيْهِ كَبِنَاءِ مَدِينَةٍ مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ.In visions of God He took me to the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain, on whose southern slope was a structure that resembled a city.

3وَلَمَّا أَتَى بِي إِلَى هُنَاكَ، إِذَا بِرَجُلٍ مَنْظَرُهُ كَمَنْظَرِ ٱلنُّحَاسِ، وَبِيَدِهِ خَيْطُ كَتَّانٍ وَقَصَبَةُ ٱلْقِيَاسِ، وَهُوَ وَاقِفٌ بِٱلْبَابِ.So He took me there, and I saw a man whose appearance was like bronze. He was standing in the gateway with a linen cord and a measuring rod in his hand.

4فَقَالَ لِي ٱلرَّجُلُ: «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، ٱنْظُرْ بِعَيْنَيْكَ وَٱسْمَعْ بِأُذُنَيْكَ وَٱجْعَلْ قَلْبَكَ إِلَى كُلِّ مَا أُرِيكَهُ، لِأَنَّهُ لِأَجْلِ إِرَاءَتِكَ أُتِيَ بِكَ إِلَى هُنَا. أَخْبِرْ بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِكُلِّ مَا تَرَى».“Son of man,” he said to me, “look with your eyes, hear with your ears, and pay attention to everything I am going to show you, for that is why you have been brought here. Report to the house of Israel everything you see.”

5وَإِذَا بِسُورٍ خَارِجَ ٱلْبَيْتِ مُحِيطٍ بِهِ، وَبِيَدِ ٱلرَّجُلِ قَصَبَةُ ٱلْقِيَاسِ سِتُّ أَذْرُعٍ طُولًا بِٱلذِّرَاعِ وَشِبْرٌ. فَقَاسَ عَرْضَ ٱلْبِنَاءِ قَصَبَةً وَاحِدَةً، وَسُمْكَهُ قَصَبَةً وَاحِدَةً.And I saw a wall surrounding the temple area. Now the length of the measuring rod in the man’s hand was six long cubits (each measuring a cubit and a handbreadth), and he measured the wall to be one rod thick and one rod high.

6ثُمَّ جَاءَ إِلَى ٱلْبَابِ ٱلَّذِي وَجْهُهُ نَحْوَ ٱلشَّرْقِ وَصَعِدَ فِي دَرَجِهِ، وَقَاسَ عَتَبَةَ ٱلْبَابِ قَصَبَةً وَاحِدَةً عَرْضًا، وَٱلْعَتَبَةَ ٱلْأُخْرَى قَصَبَةً وَاحِدَةً عَرْضًا.Then he came to the gate facing east and climbed its steps. He measured the threshold of the gate to be one rod deep.

7وَٱلْغُرْفَةَ قَصَبَةً وَاحِدَةً طُولًا وَقَصَبَةً وَاحِدَةً عَرْضًا، وَبَيْنَ ٱلْغُرُفَاتِ خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ، وَعَتَبَةُ ٱلْبَابِ بِجَانِبِ رِوَاقِ ٱلْبَابِ مِنْ دَاخِلٍ قَصَبَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ.Each gate chamber was one rod long and one rod wide, and there were five cubits between the gate chambers. The inner threshold of the gate by the portico facing inward was one rod deep.

8وَقَاسَ رِوَاقَ ٱلْبَابِ مِنْ دَاخِلٍ قَصَبَةً وَاحِدَةً.Then he measured the portico of the gateway inside;

9وَقَاسَ رِوَاقَ ٱلْبَابِ ثَمَانِيَ أَذْرُعٍ، وَعَضَائِدَهُ ذِرَاعَيْنِ، وَرِوَاقُ ٱلْبَابِ مِنْ دَاخِلٍ.it was eight cubits deep, and its jambs were two cubits thick. And the portico of the gateway faced the temple.

10وَغُرُفَاتُ ٱلْبَابِ نَحْوَ ٱلشَّرْقِ ثَلَاثٌ مِنْ هُنَا وَثَلَاثٌ مِنْ هُنَاكَ. لِلثَّلَاثِ قِيَاسٌ وَاحِدٌ، وَلِلْعَضَائِدِ قِيَاسٌ وَاحِدٌ مِنْ هُنَا وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ.There were three gate chambers on each side of the east gate, each with the same measurements, and the gateposts on either side also had the same measurements.

11وَقَاسَ عَرْضَ مَدْخَلِ ٱلْبَابِ عَشَرَ أَذْرُعٍ، وَطُولَ ٱلْبَابِ ثَلَاثَ عَشَرَةَ ذِرَاعًا.And he measured the width of the gateway entrance to be ten cubits, and its length was thirteen cubits.

12وَٱلْحَافَّةُ أَمَامَ ٱلْغُرُفَاتِ ذِرَاعٌ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْ هُنَا، وَٱلْحَافَّةُ ذِرَاعٌ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْ هُنَاكَ. وَٱلْغُرْفَةُ سِتُّ أَذْرُعٍ مِنْ هُنَا، وَسِتُّ أَذْرُعٍ مِنْ هُنَاكَ.In front of each gate chamber was a wall one cubit high, and the gate chambers were six cubits square.

13ثُمَّ قَاسَ ٱلْبَابَ مِنْ سَقْفِ ٱلْغُرْفَةِ ٱلْوَاحِدَةِ إِلَى سَقْفِ ٱلْأُخْرَى عَرْضَ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعًا. اَلْبَابُ مُقَابِلُ ٱلْبَابِ.Then he measured the gateway from the roof of one gate chamber to the roof of the opposite one; the distance was twenty-five cubits from doorway to doorway.

14وَعَمِلَ عَضَائِدَ سِتِّينَ ذِرَاعًا إِلَى عَضَادَةِ ٱلدَّارِ حَوْلَ ٱلْبَابِ.Next he measured the gateposts to be sixty cubits high. The gateway extended around to the gatepost of the courtyard.

15وَقُدَّامَ بَابِ ٱلْمَدْخَلِ إِلَى قُدَّامِ رِوَاقِ ٱلْبَابِ ٱلدَّاخِلِيِّ خَمْسُونَ ذِرَاعًا.And the distance from the entrance of the gateway to the far end of its inner portico was fifty cubits.

16وَلِلْغُرُفَاتِ كُوًى مُشَبَّكَةٌ، وَلِلْعَضَائِدِ مِنْ دَاخِلِ ٱلْبَابِ حَوَالَيْهِ، وَهَكَذَا فِي ٱلْقُبَبِ أَيْضًا، كُوًى حَوَالَيْهَا مِنْ دَاخِلٍ، وَعَلَى ٱلْعَضَادَةِ نَخِيلٌ.The gate chambers and their side pillars had beveled windows all around the inside of the gateway. The porticos also had windows all around on the inside. Each side pillar was decorated with palm trees.

17ثُمَّ أَتَى بِي إِلَى ٱلدَّارِ ٱلْخَارِجِيَّةِ، وَإِذَا بِمَخَادِعَ وَمُجَزَّعٍ مَصْنُوعٍ لِلدَّارِ حَوَالَيْهَا. عَلَى ٱلْمُجَزَّعِ ثَلَاثُونَ مِخْدَعًا.Then he brought me into the outer court, and there were chambers and a pavement laid out all around the court. Thirty chambers faced the pavement,

18وَٱلْمُجَزَّعُ بِجَانِبِ ٱلْأَبْوَابِ مُقَابِلَ طُولِ ٱلْأَبْوَابِ، ٱلْمُجَزَّعُ ٱلْأَسْفَلُ.which flanked the gateways and corresponded to the length of the gates; this was the lower pavement.

19وَقَاسَ ٱلْعَرْضَ مِنْ قُدَّامِ ٱلْبَابِ ٱلْأَسْفَلِ إِلَى قُدَّامِ ٱلدَّارِ ٱلدَّاخِلِيَّةِ مِنْ خَارِجٍ، مِئَةَ ذِرَاعٍ إِلَى ٱلشَّرْقِ وَإِلَى ٱلشِّمَالِ.Then he measured the distance from the front of the lower gateway to the outside of the inner court; it was a hundred cubits on the east side as well as on the north.

20وَٱلْبَابُ ٱلْمُتَّجِهُ نَحْوَ ٱلشِّمَالِ ٱلَّذِي لِلدَّارِ ٱلْخَارِجِيَّةِ قَاسَ طُولَهُ وَعَرْضَهُ.He also measured the length and width of the gateway of the outer court facing north.

21وَغُرُفَاتُهُ ثَلَاثٌ مِنْ هُنَا وَثَلَاثٌ مِنْ هُنَاكَ، وَعَضَائِدُهُ وَمُقَبَّبُهُ كَانَتْ عَلَى قِيَاسِ ٱلْبَابِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ، طُولُهَا خَمْسُونَ ذِرَاعًا وَعَرْضُهَا خَمْسٌ وَعِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعًا.Its three gate chambers on each side, its side pillars, and its portico all had the same measurements as the first gate: fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

22وَكُوَاهَا وَمُقَبَّبُهَا وَنَخِيلُهَا عَلَى قِيَاسِ ٱلْبَابِ ٱلْمُتَّجِهِ نَحْوَ ٱلشَّرْقِ، وَكَانُوا يَصْعَدُونَ إِلَيْهِ فِي سَبْعِ دَرَجَاتٍ، وَمُقَبَّبُهُ أَمَامَهُ.Its windows, portico, and palm trees had the same measurements as those of the gate facing east. Seven steps led up to it, with its portico opposite them.

23وَلِلدَّارِ ٱلدَّاخِلِيَّةِ بَابٌ مُقَابِلُ بَابٍ لِلشِّمَالِ وَلِلشَّرْقِ. وَقَاسَ مِنْ بَابٍ إِلَى بَابٍ مِئَةَ ذِرَاعٍ.There was a gate to the inner court facing the north gate, just as there was on the east. He measured the distance from gateway to gateway to be a hundred cubits.

24ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ بِي نَحْوَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ، وَإِذَا بِبَابٍ نَحْوَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ، فَقَاسَ عَضَائِدَهُ وَمُقَبَّبَهُ كَهَذِهِ ٱلْأَقْيِسَةِ.Then he led me to the south side, and I saw a gateway facing south. He measured its side pillars and portico, and they had the same measurements as the others.

25وَفِيهِ كُوًى وَفِي مُقَبَّبِهِ مِنْ حَوَالَيْهِ كَتِلْكَ ٱلْكُوَى. اَلطُّولُ خَمْسُونَ ذِرَاعًا وَٱلْعَرْضُ خَمْسٌ وَعِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعًا.Both the gateway and its portico had windows all around, like the other windows. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

26وَسَبْعُ دَرَجَاتٍ مَصْعَدُهُ وَمُقَبَّبُهُ قُدَّامَهُ، وَلَهُ نَخِيلٌ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْ هُنَا وَوَاحِدَةٌ مِنْ هُنَاكَ عَلَى عَضَائِدِهِ.Seven steps led up to it, and its portico was opposite them; it had palm trees on its side pillars, one on each side.

27وَلِلدَّارِ ٱلدَّاخِلِيَّةِ بَابٌ نَحْوَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ. وَقَاسَ مِنَ ٱلْبَابِ إِلَى ٱلْبَابِ نَحْوَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ مِئَةَ ذِرَاعٍ.The inner court also had a gate facing south, and he measured the distance from gateway to gateway toward the south to be a hundred cubits.

28وَأَتَى بِي إِلَى ٱلدَّارِ ٱلدَّاخِلِيَّةِ مِنْ بَابِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ، وَقَاسَ بَابَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ كَهَذِهِ ٱلْأَقْيِسَةِ.Next he brought me into the inner court through the south gate, and he measured the south gate; it had the same measurements as the others.

29وَغُرُفَاتُهُ وَعَضَائِدُهُ وَمُقَبَّبُهُ كَهَذِهِ ٱلْأَقْيِسَةِ. وَفِيهِ وَفِي مُقَبَّبِهِ كُوًى حَوَالَيْهِ. اَلطُّولُ خَمْسُونَ ذِرَاعًا وَٱلْعَرْضُ خَمْسٌ وَعِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعًا.Its gate chambers, side pillars, and portico had the same measurements as the others. Both the gateway and its portico had windows all around; it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

30وَحَوَالَيْهِ مُقَبَّبٌ خَمْسٌ وَعِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعًا طُولًا وَخَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ عَرْضًا.(The porticoes around the inner court were twenty-five cubits long and five cubits deep.)

31وَمُقَبَّبُهُ نَحْوَ ٱلدَّارِ ٱلْخَارِجِيَّةِ، وَعَلَى عَضَائِدِهِ نَخِيلٌ، وَمَصْعَدُهُ ثَمَانِي دَرَجَاتٍ.Its portico faced the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees. Eight steps led up to it.

32وَأَتَى بِي إِلَى ٱلدَّارِ ٱلدَّاخِلِيَّةِ نَحْوَ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَقَاسَ ٱلْبَابَ كَهَذِهِ ٱلْأَقْيِسَةِ.And he brought me to the inner court on the east side, and he measured the gateway; it had the same measurements as the others.

33وَغُرُفَاتُهُ وَعَضَائِدُهُ وَمُقَبَّبُهُ كَهَذِهِ ٱلْأَقْيِسَةِ. وَفِيهِ وَفِي مُقَبَّبِهِ كُوًى حَوَالَيْهِ. اَلطُّولُ خَمْسُونَ ذِرَاعًا وَٱلْعَرْضُ خَمْسٌ وَعِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعًا.Its gate chambers, side pillars, and portico had the same measurements as the others. Both the gateway and its portico had windows all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

34وَمُقَبَّبُهُ نَحْوَ ٱلدَّارِ ٱلْخَارِجِيَّةِ، وَعَلَى عَضَائِدِهِ نَخِيلٌ مِنْ هُنَا وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ، وَمَصْعَدُهُ ثَمَانِي دَرَجَاتٍ.Its portico faced the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees on each side. Eight steps led up to it.

35وَأَتَى بِي إِلَى بَابِ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَقَاسَ كَهَذِهِ ٱلْأَقْيِسَةِ.Then he brought me to the north gate and measured it. It had the same measurements as the others,

36غُرُفَاتُهُ وَعَضَائِدُهُ وَمُقَبَّبُهُ وَٱلْكُوَى ٱلَّتِي لَهُ حَوَالَيْهِ. اَلطُّولُ خَمْسُونَ ذِرَاعًا وَٱلْعَرْضُ خَمْسٌ وَعِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعًا.as did its gate chambers, side pillars, and portico. It also had windows all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

37وَعَضَائِدُهُ نَحْوَ ٱلدَّارِ ٱلْخَارِجِيَّةِ، وَعَلَى عَضَائِدِهِ نَخِيلٌ مِنْ هُنَا وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ، وَمَصْعَدُهُ ثَمَانِي دَرَجَاتٍ.Its portico faced the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees on each side. Eight steps led up to it.

38وَعِنْدَ عَضَائِدِ ٱلْأَبْوَابِ مِخْدَعٌ وَمَدْخَلُهُ. هُنَاكَ يَغْسِلُونَ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةَ.There was a chamber with a doorway by the portico in each of the inner gateways. There the burnt offering was to be washed.

39وَفِي رِوَاقِ ٱلْبَابِ مَائِدَتَانِ مِنْ هُنَا، وَمَائِدَتَانِ مِنْ هُنَاكَ، لِتُذْبَحَ عَلَيْهَا ٱلْمُحْرَقَةُ وَذَبِيحَةُ ٱلْخَطِيئَةِ وَذَبِيحَةُ ٱلْإِثْمِ.Inside the portico of the gateway were two tables on each side, on which the burnt offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings were to be slaughtered.

40وَعَلَى ٱلْجَانِبِ مِنْ خَارِجٍ حَيْثُ يُصْعَدُ إِلَى مَدْخَلِ بَابِ ٱلشِّمَالِ مَائِدَتَانِ، وَعَلَى ٱلْجَانِبِ ٱلْآخَرِ ٱلَّذِي لِرِوَاقِ ٱلْبَابِ مَائِدَتَانِ.Outside, as one goes up to the entrance of the north gateway, there were two tables on one side and two more tables on the other side of the gate’s portico.

41أَرْبَعُ مَوَائِدَ مِنْ هُنَا، وَأَرْبَعُ مَوَائِدَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ عَلَى جَانِبِ ٱلْبَابِ. ثَمَانِي مَوَائِدَ كَانُوا يَذْبَحُونَ عَلَيْهَا.So there were four tables inside the gateway and four outside—eight tables in all—on which the sacrifices were to be slaughtered.

42وَٱلْمَوَائِدُ ٱلْأَرْبَعُ لِلْمُحْرَقَةِ مِنْ حَجَرٍ نَحِيتٍ، ٱلطُّولُ ذِرَاعٌ وَنِصْفٌ، وَٱلْعَرْضُ ذِرَاعٌ وَنِصْفٌ، وَٱلسَّمْكُ ذِرَاعٌ وَاحِدَةٌ. كَانُوا يَضَعُونَ عَلَيْهَا ٱلْأَدَوَاتِ ٱلَّتِي يَذْبَحُونَ بِهَا ٱلْمُحْرَقَةَ وَٱلذَّبِيحَةَ.There were also four tables of dressed stone for the burnt offering, each a cubit and a half long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit high. On these were placed the utensils used to slaughter the burnt offerings and the other sacrifices.

43وَٱلْمَآزِيبُ شِبْرٌ وَاحِدٌ مُمَكَّنَةً فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ مِنْ حَوْلِهِ. وَعَلَى ٱلْمَوَائِدِ لَحْمُ ٱلْقُرْبَانِ.The double-pronged hooks, each a handbreadth long, were fastened all around the inside of the room, and the flesh of the offering was to be placed on the tables.

44وَمِنْ خَارِجِ ٱلْبَابِ ٱلدَّاخِلِيِّ مَخَادِعُ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ فِي ٱلدَّارِ ٱلدَّاخِلِيَّةِ ٱلَّتِي بِجَانِبِ بَابِ ٱلشِّمَالِ، وَوُجُوهُهَا نَحْوَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ. وَاحِدٌ بِجَانِبِ بَابِ ٱلشَّرْقِ مُتَّجِهٌ نَحْوَ ٱلشِّمَالِ.Outside the inner gate, within the inner court, were two chambers, one beside the north gate and facing south, and another beside the south gate and facing north.

45وَقَالَ لِي: «هَذَا ٱلْمِخْدَعُ ٱلَّذِي وَجْهُهُ نَحْوَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ هُوَ لِلْكَهَنَةِ حَارِسِي حِرَاسَةِ ٱلْبَيْتِ.Then the man said to me: “The chamber that faces south is for the priests who keep charge of the temple,

46وَٱلْمِخْدَعُ ٱلَّذِي وَجْهُهُ نَحْوَ ٱلشِّمَالِ لِلْكَهَنَةِ حَارِسِي حِرَاسَةِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ. هُمْ بَنُو صَادُوقَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ مِنْ بَنِي لَاوِي إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ لِيَخْدِمُوهُ».and the chamber that faces north is for the priests who keep charge of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, the only Levites who may approach the LORD to minister before Him.”

47فَقَاسَ ٱلدَّارَ مِئَةَ ذِرَاعٍ طُولًا، وَمِئَةَ ذِرَاعٍ عَرْضًا، مُرَبَّعَةً، وَٱلْمَذْبَحَ أَمَامَ ٱلْبَيْتِ.Next he measured the court. It was square, a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide. And the altar was in front of the temple.

48وَأَتَى بِي إِلَى رِوَاقِ ٱلْبَيْتِ وَقَاسَ عَضَادَةَ ٱلرِّوَاقِ، خَمْسَ أَذْرُعٍ مِنْ هُنَا وَخَمْسَ أَذْرُعٍ مِنْ هُنَاكَ، وَعَرْضَ ٱلْبَابِ ثَلَاثَ أَذْرُعٍ مِنْ هُنَا وَثَلَاثَ أَذْرُعٍ مِنْ هُنَاكَ.Then he brought me to the portico of the temple and measured the side pillars of the portico to be five cubits on each side. The width of the gateway was fourteen cubits and its sidewalls were three cubits on either side.

49طُولُ ٱلرِّوَاقِ عِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعًا، وَٱلْعَرْضُ إِحْدَى عَشَرَةَ ذِرَاعًا عِنْدَ ٱلدَّرَجِ ٱلَّذِي بِهِ كَانُوا يَصْعَدُونَ إِلَيْهِ. وَعِنْدَ ٱلْعَضَائِدِ أَعْمِدَةٌ، وَاحِدٌ مِنْ هُنَا وَوَاحِدٌ مِنْ هُنَاكَ.The portico was twenty cubits wide and twelve cubits deep, and ten steps led up to it. There were columns by the side pillars, one on each side.
