Ezekiel 42

1 And he took me out into the inner square in the direction of the north: and he took me into the rooms which were opposite the separate place and opposite the building to the north.

El hombre me sacó por la puerta norte al patio exterior, a las habitaciones que se encuentran en el lado más alejado del patio del Templo, junto al muro exterior norte.

2 On the north side it was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide,

El edificio que daba a la puerta norte tenía cien codos de largo y cincuenta de ancho.

3 Opposite the space of twenty cubits which was part of the inner square, and opposite the stone floor of the outer square. There were covered ways facing one another on the third floor.

Tenía tres pisos de salas abiertas a ambos lados, uno que daba a la zona de veinte codos del patio interior y otro que daba al pavimento del patio exterior.

4 And in front of the rooms was a walk, ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long; and their doors were facing north.

Delante de las salas había un pasillo interior de diez codos de ancho y cien de largo. Sus puertas daban al norte.

5 And the higher rooms were shorter: for the covered ways took up more space from these than from the lower and middle rooms.

Las habitaciones superiores eran más pequeñas debido al espacio que ocupaban las salas abiertas en los niveles inferior y medio del edificio.

6 For they were on three floors, and they had no pillars like the pillars of the outer square; so the highest was narrower than the lowest and middle floors from the earth level.

Como no tenían pilares como los patios, las habitaciones superiores estaban más alejadas que las de los niveles inferior y medio.

7 And the wall which went outside by the side of the rooms, in the direction of the outer square in front of the rooms, was fifty cubits long.

Delante de las habitaciones había un muro exterior de cincuenta codos de largo, paralelo al patio exterior.

8 For the rooms in the outer square were fifty cubits long: and in front of the Temple was a space of a hundred cubits.

Las habitaciones del patio exterior tenían una longitud de cincuenta codos, pero las que daban al Templo tenían una longitud de cien codos.

9 And under these rooms was the way in from the east side, as one goes into them from the outer square at the head of the outer wall.

Debajo de estas habitaciones había una entrada en el lado este que venía del patio exterior.

10 (And he took me) to the south, and in front of the separate place and in front of the building there were rooms.

A lo largo del muro del sur lado del patio exterior había habitaciones junto al patio y frente al edificio.

11 And there was a walk in front of them like that by the rooms on the north; they were equally long and wide; and the ways out of them were the same in design and had the same sort of doors.

Frente a ellas había un pasillo, al igual que las habitaciones del lado norte. Estas habitaciones tenían la misma longitud y anchura, las mismas puertas, planta y salidas.

12 And under the rooms on the south was a door at the head of the outer wall in the direction of the east as one goes in.

Del mismo modo, había una entrada debajo de las habitaciones del lado sur del edificio, que venía del lado este.

13 And he said to me, The north rooms and the south rooms in front of the separate place are the holy rooms, where the priests who come near the Lord take the most holy things for their food: there the most holy things are placed, with the meal offering and the sin-offering and the offering for error; for the place is holy.

El hombre me dijo: “Las habitaciones del norte y del sur que dan al patio del Templo son habitaciones sagradas donde los sacerdotes que se presentan ante el Señor comerán las ofrendas más sagradas. Allí colocarán las ofrendas santísimas porque el lugar es sagrado, e incluyen las ofrendas de grano, las ofrendas por el pecado y las ofrendas por la culpa.

14 When the priests go in, they may not go out of the holy place into the outer square, and there they are to put the robes in which they do the work of the Lord's house, for they are holy: and they have to put on other clothing before they come near that which has to do with the people.

Una vez que los sacerdotes hayan entrado en estas habitaciones, no deben salir al patio exterior antes de dejar sus ropas sacerdotales, porque éstas son sagradas. Deben cambiarse de ropa antes de ir donde está la gente común”.

15 And when he had come to the end of measuring the inner house, he took me out to the doorway looking to the east, and took its measure all round.

Cuando el hombre terminó de medir dentro del área del Templo, me sacó por la puerta oriental y midió también los alrededores.

16 He went round and took the measure of it on the east side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.

Con la vara de medir midió el lado oriental. Tenía quinientos codos de largo.

17 And he went round and took the measure of it on the north side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.

Midió el lado norte. Tenía quinientos codos de largo.

18 And he went round and took the measure of it on the south side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.

Midió el lado sur. Tenía quinientos codos de largo.

19 And he went round and took the measure of it on the west side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.

Luego dio la vuelta y midió el lado oeste. Tenía quinientos codos de largo.

20 He took its measure on the four sides: and it had a wall all round, five hundred long and five hundred wide, separating what was holy from what was common.

Así midió los cuatro lados. Había un muro que lo rodeaba, de quinientos codos de largo y quinientos de ancho, que separaba lo sagrado de lo común.
