حِزْقِيال 40
| وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الْعَاشِرِ مِنْ مَطْلَعِ السَّنَةِ الْخَامِسَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ سَبْيِنَا الْمُوَافِقَةِ لِلسَّنَةِ الرَّابِعَةَ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ سُقُوطِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، كَانَتْ عَلَيَّ يَدُ الرَّبِّ فَأَحْضَرَنِي إِلَى هُنَاكَ، | ١ 1 |
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.
| وَأَتَى بِي فِي رُؤَى اللهِ إِلَى أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَوَضَعَنِي عَلَى جَبَلٍ شَاهِقٍ حَيْثُ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ جِهَةِ الْجَنُوبِ مَا يُشْبِهُ بِنَاءَ الْمَدِينَةِ. | ٢ 2 |
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.
| فَنَقَلَنِي إِلَى هُنَاكَ، وَإِذَا بِرَجُلٍ مَظْهَرُهُ كَمَظْهَرِ النُّحَاسِ يَحْمِلُ بِيَدِهِ خَيْطَ كَتَّانٍ وَقَصَبَةً وَهُوَ وَاقِفٌ بِالْبَابِ. | ٣ 3 |
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.
| فَقَالَ لِي الرَّجُلُ: «يَاابْنَ آدَمَ، انْظُرْ بِعَيْنَيْكَ وَأَصْغِ بِأُذُنَيْكَ وَانْتَبِهْ أَشَدَّ الانْتِبَاهِ إِلَى كُلِّ مَا أُطْلِعُكَ عَلَيْهِ، لأَنَّكَ لِهَذَا أُحْضِرْتَ إِلَى هُنَا. ثُمَّ أَبْلِغْ شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِكُلِّ مَا تَشْهَدُهُ». | ٤ 4 |
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].”
| وَإِذَا بِسُورٍ قَائِمٍ خَارِجَ الْهَيْكَلِ مُحِيطٍ بِهِ. وَكَانَ طُولُ الْقَصَبَةِ الَّتِي فِي يَدِ الرَّجُلِ (نَحْوَ ثَلاَثَةِ أَمْتَارٍ) فَشَرَعَ يَقِيسُ الْبِنَاءَ فَكَانَ كُلٌّ مِنْ عَرْضِهِ وَارْتِفَاعِهِ قَصَبَةً وَاحِدَةً (نَحْوَ ثَلاَثَةِ أَمْتَارٍ). | ٥ 5 |
[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.
| ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ مِنَ الْبَابِ الْمُوَاجِهِ لِلشَّرْقِ وَارْتَقَى دَرَجَهُ وَقَاسَ عَتَبَةَ الْبَابِ، فَكَانَ عَرْضُهَا قَصَبَةً وَاحِدَةً (نَحْوَ ثَلاَثَةِ أَمْتَارٍ)، كَمَا كَانَ عَرْضُ الْعَتَبَةِ الأُخْرَى قَصَبَةً وَاحِدَةً | ٦ 6 |
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.
| وَقَاسَ كَذَلِكَ الْحُجُرَاتِ الْجَانِبِيَّةَ فَكَانَ طُولُ وَعَرْضُ كُلٍّ مِنْهَا قَصَبَةً وَاحِدَةً، وَبَيْنَ كُلِّ حُجْرَةٍ وَحُجْرَ ةٍ خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ) وَكَانَ عَرْضُ عَتَبَةِ الْبَابِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ بِجَانِبِ رُوَاقِ الْبَابِ قَصَبَةً وَاحِدَةً. | ٧ 7 |
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.
| ثُمَّ قَاسَ رُوَاقَ الْبَابِ مِنْ دَاخِلٍ فَكَانَ قَصَبَةً وَاحِدَةً، | ٨ 8 |
Then he measured the entry room at the end of the entry hallway.
| وَقَاسَ أَيْضاً رُوَاقَ الْبَابِ مَعَ عَضَائِدِهِ فَكَانَتْ بِجُمْلَتِهَا عَشَرَ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ أَمْتَارٍ). وَكَانَ رُوَاقُ الْبَابِ هَذَا مِنَ الدَّاخِلِ بِاتِّجَاهِ الْهَيْكَلِ. | ٩ 9 |
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].
| وَكَانَتْ حُجُرَاتُ الْحُرَّاسِ عِنْدَ الْبَابِ سِتّاً، ثَلاَثاً عَلَى كُلِّ جَانِبٍ، وَكُلُّهَا ذَاتُ قِيَاسٍ وَاحِدٍ هِيَ وَعَضَائِدُهَا. | ١٠ 10 |
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.
| ثُمَّ قَاسَ عَرْضَ مَدْخَلِ الْبَابِ فَكَانَ عَشَرَ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ أَمْتَارٍ) وَطُولُهُ ثَلاَثَ عَشْرَةَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ سِتَّةِ أَمْتَارٍ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ). | ١١ 11 |
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.
| أَمَّا الْحَافَّةُ الَّتِي أَمَامَ الْحُجُرَاتِ فَكَانَتْ ذِرَاعاً وَاحِدَةً (نَحْوَ نِصْفِ مِتْرٍ) فِي كُلِّ جَانِبٍ. وَكَانَ طُولُ كُلِّ حُجْرَةٍ مِنْ حُجُرَاتِ الْحُرَّاسِ وَعَرْضُهَا سِتَ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ ثَلاَثَةِ أَمْتَارٍ). | ١٢ 12 |
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.
| ثُمَّ قَاسَ الْبَابَ مِنْ سَقْفِ الْحَائِطِ الْخَلْفِيِّ لِلْحُجْرَةِ إِلَى سَقْفِ الْحَائِطِ الْخَلْفِيِّ لِلْحُجْرَةِ الْمُقَابِلَةِ، فَكَانَتِ الْمَسَافَةُ بَيْنَهَا خَمْساً وَعِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ اثْنَي عَشَرَ مِتْراً وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)، الْبَابُ مُقَابِلُ الْبَابِ. | ١٣ 13 |
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).
| وَكَانَ طُولُ مُحِيطِ الْعَضَائِدِ الْقَائِمَةِ حَوْلَ مَمَرِّ الْمَدْخَلِ الدَّاخِلِيِّ سِتِّينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ ثَلاَثِينَ مِتْراً). | ١٤ 14 |
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.
| كَمَا كَانَتِ الْمَسَافَةُ بَيْنَ حَافَّةِ بَابِ الْمَدْخَلِ وَحَافَّةِ بَابِ الرُّوَاقِ الدَّاخِلِيِّ خِمْسِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِتْراً). | ١٥ 15 |
The length from [outer] opening of the entryway to the far end of the entry room was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters).
| وَلِحُجُرَاتِ الْمَدْخَلِ وَجُدْرَانِهِ وَالرُّوَاقِ كُوىً مُشَبَّكَةٌ دَاخِلِيَّةٌ مُحِيطَةٌ بِهَا جَمِيعاً، كَمَا حُفِرَ عَلَى الْعَضَادَةِ رَسْمُ شَجَرَةِ نَخِيلٍ. | ١٦ 16 |
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.
| ثُمَّ أَخَذَنِي إِلَى السَّاحَةِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ، وَإِذَا بِمَخَادِعَ وَرَصِيفٍ مُحِيطٍ بِالسَّاحَةِ شُيِّدَ عَلَيْهِ ثَلاَثُونَ مُخْدَعاً. | ١٧ 17 |
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.
| وَكَانَ الرَّصِيفُ مُمْتَدّاً عَلَى جَوَانِبِ الْبَوَّابَاتِ، وَعَرْضُهُ مُمَاثِلٌ لِطُولِ الْبَوَّابَاتِ. هَذَا هُوَ الرَّصِيفُ الأَسْفَلُ. | ١٨ 18 |
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.
| وَقَامَ الْمَلاَكُ بِقِيَاسِ الْعَرْضِ مِنْ أَمَامِ الْبَابِ الأَسْفَلِ إِلَى أَمَامِ السَّاحَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ مِنَ الْخَارِجِ، فَكَانَتِ الْمَسَافَةُ مِئَةَ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوُ خَمْسِينَ مِتْراً) إِلَى الشَّرْقِ وَإِلَى الشِّمَالِ. | ١٩ 19 |
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].
| ثُمَّ قَاسَ طُولَ وَعَرْضَ بَابِ السَّاحَةِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ الْمُتَّجِهِ نَحْوَ الشِّمَالِ، | ٢٠ 20 |
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].
| وَكَذَلِكَ حُجُرَاتِهِ الْمُتَقَابِلَةَ، ثَلاَثاً مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ، وَعَضَائِدَهُ وَرُوَاقَهُ، فَكَانَتْ مَقَايِيسُهَا مُمَاثِلَةً لِمَقَايِيسِ الأَوَّلِ. طُولُهَا خَمْسُونَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوُ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِتْراً)، وَعَرْضُهَا خَمْسٌ وَعِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوُ اثْنَتَيْ عَشَرَ مِتْراً وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ). | ٢١ 21 |
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.
| كَمَا كَانَتْ كُوَاهُ وَأَرْوِقَتُهُ وَنَخِيلُهُ مُمَاثِلَةً فِي قِيَا سِهَا لِقِيَاسِ الْبَابِ نَحْوَ الشَّرْقِ. وَكَانَتْ لَهُ سَبْعُ دَرَجَاتٍ يَصْعَدُونَ عَلَيْهَا لِلْوُصُولِ إِلَيْهِ. وَانْتَصَبَتْ أَمَامَهُ أَقْوَاسُ أَرْوِقَتِهِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
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.
| وَلِلسَّاحَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ بَابٌ مُقَابِلٌ لِبَابِ الشِّمَالِ، وَآخَرُ مُقَابِلٌ لِبَابِ الشَّرْقِ. وَقَاسَ الْمَسَافَةَ مِنْ بَابٍ إِلَى بَابٍ، وَإِذَا بِهَا مِئَةُ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوُ خَمْسِينَ مِتْراً). | ٢٣ 23 |
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).
| ثُمَّ أَخَذَنِي نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ، وَإِذَا هُنَاكَ بَابٌ مُتَّجِهٌ نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ، فَقَاسَ عَضَائِدَهُ وَأَرْوِقَتَهُ فَكَانَتْ مُمَاثِلَةً لِلأَقْيِسَةِ السَّابِقَةِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
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.
| وَكَانَ فِي مَدْخَلِهِ وَأَرْوِقَتِهِ كُوىً تُحِيطُ بِهَا مُمَاثِلَةٌ لِكُوَى الْمَدْخَلَيْنِ الآخَرَيْنِ. وَكَانَ طُولُهُ خَمْسِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِتْراً) وَعَرْضُهُ خَمْساً وَعِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ مِتْراً وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ). | ٢٥ 25 |
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.
| وَكَانَتْ لَهُ سَبْعُ دَرَجَاتٍ يَصْعَدُونَ عَلَيْهَا لِلْوُصُولِ إِلَيْهِ. وَانْتَصَبَتْ أَمَامَهُ أَقْوَاسُ أَرْوِقَتِهِ، وَنُقِشَتْ عَلَى عَضَائِدِهِ شَجَرَتَا نَخِيلٍ كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْ جَانِبٍ. | ٢٦ 26 |
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.
| وَلِلسَّاحَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ بَابٌ مُتَّجِهٌ نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ. وَقَاسَ الْمَسَافَةَ مِنَ الْبَابِ إِلَى الْبَابِ وَإِذَا بِهَا مِئَةُ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوُ خَمْسِينَ مِتْراً) بِاتِّجَاهِ الْجَنُوبِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
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).
| ثُمَّ أَحْضَرَنِي إِلَى السَّاحَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ مِنْ بَابِ الْجَنُوبِ، وَقَاسَ الْبَابَ، فَكَانَتْ مَقَايِيسُهُ مُمَاثِلَةً لِمَقَايِيسِ الْبَابَيْنِ الآخَرَيْنِ، | ٢٨ 28 |
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].
| وَكَذَلِكَ مَقَايِيسُ حُجُرَاتِهِ وَعَضَائِدِهِ وَأَرْوِقَتِهِ. كَمَا كَانَ لَهُ وَلأَرْوِقَتِهِ عَلَى امْتِدَادِ مُحِيطِهَا كُوىً. أَمَّا طُولُهُ فَكَانَ خَمْسِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوُ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِتْراً) وَعَرْضُهُ خَمْساً وَعِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ مِتْراً وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ) | ٢٩ 29 |
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.
| وَكَانَ عَلَى مُحِيطِهِ أَرْوِقَةٌ طُولُهَا خَمْسٌ وَعِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوُ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ مِتْراً وَنِصْفِ)، وَعَرْضُهَا خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوُ مِتْرَينِ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ). | ٣٠ 30 |
The entry rooms around [the inner courtyard] were (43-3/4 feet/13.3 meters) wide and (8.7 feet/2.6 meters) long.
| وَكَانَتْ أَرْوِقَتُهُ الْمُقَبَّبَةُ مُوَاجِهَةً لِلسَّاحَةِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ، وَقَدْ نُقِشَتْ عَلَى عَضَائِدِهَا أَشْجَارُ نَخِيلٍ، وَلَهُ ثَمَانِي دَرَجَاتٍ تُفْضِي إِلَيْهِ. | ٣١ 31 |
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.
| وَأَتَى بِي إِلَى السَّاحَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ الْمُتَّجِهَةِ نَحْوَ الشَّرْقِ وَقَاسَ الْبَابَ، فَكَانَتْ قِيَاسَاتُهُ مُمَاثِلَةً لِلْمَقَايِيسِ الأُخْرَى. | ٣٢ 32 |
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]
| وَكَذَلِكَ مَقَايِيسُ حُجُرَاتِهِ وَعَضَائِدِهِ وَأَرْوِقَتِهِ. كَمَا كَانَ لَهُ وَلأَرْوِقَتِهِ كُوىً عَلَى طُولِ مُحِيطِهَا. أَمَّا طُولُهُ فَكَانَ خَمْسِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِتْراً)، وَعَرْضُهُ خَمْساً وَعِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ مِتْراً وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ) | ٣٣ 33 |
Its alcoves and dividing walls and entry room measured the same as the others.
| وَكَانَتْ أَرْوِقَتُهُ الْمُقَبَّبَةُ مُوَاجِهَةً لِلسَّاحَةِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ، وَقَدْ نُقِشَتْ عَلَى عَضَائِدِهَ أَشْجَارُ نَخِيلٍ، وَلَهُ ثَمَانِي دَرَجَاتٍ تُفْضِي إِلَيْهِ. | ٣٤ 34 |
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.
| ثُمَّ أَخَذَنَي إِلَى بَابِ الشِّمَالِ وَقَاسَهُ، فَكَانَتْ مَقَايِيسُهُ مُمَاثِلَةً لِلْمَقَايِيسِ الأُخْرَى. | ٣٥ 35 |
Then he led me to the entrance on the north side and measured it. It measured the same as the other entrances.
| وَكَذَلِكَ مَقَايِيسُ حُجُرَاتِهِ وَعَضَائِدِهِ وَأَرْوِقَتِهِ وَالْكُوَى الَّتِي عَلَى مُحِيطِهِ. أَمَّا طُولُهُ فَكَانَ خَمْسِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِتْراً)، وَعَرْضُهُ خَمْساً وَعِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ مِتْراً وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ). | ٣٦ 36 |
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.
| وَكَانَتْ أَرْوِقَتُهُ الْمُقَبَّبَةُ مُوَاجِهَةً لِلسَّاحَةِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ، وَقَدْ نُقِشَتْ عَلَى عَضَائِدِهَا أَشْجَارُ نَخِيلٍ، وَلَهُ ثَمَانِي دَرَجَاتٍ تُفْضِي إِلَيْهِ. | ٣٧ 37 |
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.
| وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ مُخْدَعٌ مُلْحَقٌ بِهِ مَعَ بَابِهِ، مُجَاوِرٌ لِعَضَائِدِ الأَبْوَابِ، حَيْثُ كَانَتْ تُغْسَلُ ذَبِيحَةُ الْمُحْرَقَةِ. | ٣٨ 38 |
[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.
| وَكَانَ عَلَى كُلِّ جَانِبٍ مِنْ جَانِبَيِ الرُّوَاقِ مَائِدَتَانِ تُذْبَحُ عَلَيْهِمَا الْمُحْرَقَةُ وَذَبِيحَةُ الْخَطِيئَةِ وَذَبِيحَةُ الإِثْمِ، | ٣٩ 39 |
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.
| كَمَا كَانَ فِي الْجَانِبِ الْخَارِجِيِّ عِنْدَ الدَّرَجَاتِ الْمُفْضِيَةِ إِلَى بَابِ الشِّمَالِ مَائِدَتَانِ، وَفِي الْجَانِبِ الآخَرِ عِنْدَ رُوَاقِ الْبَابِ مَائِدَتَانِ أُخْرَيَانِ، | ٤٠ 40 |
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.
| أَيْ أَرْبَعُ مَوَائِدَ فِي كُلِّ جَانِبٍ. فَتَكُونُ فِي جُمْلَتِهَا ثَمَانِي مَوَائِدَ تُذْبَحُ عَلَيْهَا الْقَرَابِينُ. | ٤١ 41 |
[So] there were four tables outside the entrance and four tables inside the entry room, on which the [animals to be] sacrificed were slaughtered.
| وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ أَيْضاً أَرْبَعُ مَوَائِدَ أُخْرَى مُرَبَّعَةُ الشَّكْلِ، مَصْنُوعَةٌ مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ مَنْحُوتَةٍ، طُولُ وَعَرْضُ كُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهَا ذِرَاعٌ وَنِصْفٌ (نَحْوُ خَمْسَةٍ وَسَبْعِينَ سَنْتِيمِتْراً،) وَارْتِفَاعُهَا ذِرَاعٌ وَاحِدَةٌ (نَحْوُ خَمْسِينَ سَنْتِيمِتْراً،) كَانُوا يَضَعُونَ عَلَيْهَا الأَدَوَاتِ الْمُسْتَخْدَمَةَ فِي ذَبْحِ الْمُحْرَقَاتِ وَسَائِرِ الذَّبَائِحِ. | ٤٢ 42 |
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.
| وَلَهَا كَلاَبَاتٌ مُزْدَوَجَةٌ طُولُهَا شِبْرٌ مَعْقُوفَةٌ مُثَبَّتَةٌ حَوْلَ مُحِيطِهَا. وَكَانَ عَلَى الْمَوَائِدِ لَحْمُ الْقَرَابِينِ. | ٤٣ 43 |
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].
| وَأُقِيمَ خَارِجَ الْبَابِ الدَّاخِلِيِّ مُخْدَعَانِ فِي السَّاحَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ، أَحَدُهُمَا مُجَاوِرٌ لِبَابِ الشِّمَالِ بِاتِّجَاهِ الْجَنُوبِ، وَالآخَرُ مُجَاوِرٌ لِلْبَابِ الْجَنُوبِيِّ بِاتِّجَاهِ الشِّمَالِ. | ٤٤ 44 |
Outside the inner entryway, inside the inner courtyard, were two rooms, one on the north side and one on the south side.
| وَقَالَ لِي الْمَلاَكُ: «هَذَا الْمُخْدَعُ الْمُتَّجِهُ نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ هُوَ لِلْكَهَنَةِ الَّذِينَ يَحْرُسُونَ الْهَيْكَلَ. | ٤٥ 45 |
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.
| وَالْمُخْدَعُ الْمُتَّجِهُ نَحْوَ الشِّمَالِ هُوَ لِلْكَهَنَةِ الَّذِينَ يَحْرُسُونَ الْمَذْبَحَ، وَهُمْ أَبْنَاءُ صَادُوقَ، الَّذِينَ وَحْدَهُمْ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ لاَوِي يَحِقُّ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَقْتَرِبُوا مِنَ الرَّبِّ لِيَخْدُمُوهُ». | ٤٦ 46 |
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.”
| ثُمَّ قَاسَ السَّاحَةَ فَكَانَتْ مُرَبَّعَةً طُولُهَا وَعَرْضُهَا مِئَةُ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوُ خَمْسِينَ مِتْراً) وَالْمَذْبَحُ قَائِمٌ أَمَامَ الْهَيْكَلِ. | ٤٧ 47 |
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.
| وَأَحْضَرَنِي إِلَى رُوَاقِ الْهَيْكَلِ وَقَاسَ سُمْكَ عَضَادَتَيْهِ مِنْ كُلٍّ مِنْ جَانِبَيْهِ، فَكَانَ خَمْسَ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ) لِكُلِّ عَضَادَةٍ وَعَرْضَ الْبَابِ ثَلاَثَ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ) | ٤٨ 48 |
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.
| وَكَانَ طُولُ الرُّوَاقِ عِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ عَشَرَةِ أَمْتَارٍ) وَعَرْضُهُ إِحْدَى عَشَرَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ أَمْتَارٍ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ) عِنْدَ الدَّرَجَاتِ الَّتِي تُؤَدِّي إِلَيْهِ، كَمَا نُصِبَ عِنْدَ الْعَضَائِدِ عَمُودَانِ وَاحِدٌ عَنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ. | ٤٩ 49 |
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.
