Ezekiel 42
1 Og han førte mig ud til den ydre Forgaard ad Vejen imod Nord, og han førte mig til Cellebygningen, som laa tværs over for det afskaarne Rum, og som laa tværs over for Bygningen imod Nord,
Next the man sent me out to the outer courtyard on the north side, and he brought me to rooms in front of the outer courtyard and the northern outer wall.
2 hen foran Længden paa de hundrede Alen, med Dør imod Nord, og hvis Bredde var halvtredsindstyve Alen,
Those rooms were one hundred cubits along their front and fifty cubits in width.
3 tværs over for de tyve Alen, som hørte til den indre Forgaard, og tværs over for det tavlede Stengulv, som var i den ydre Forgaard, der var Omgang over for Omgang i tre Stokværk.
Some of those rooms faced the inner courtyard and were twenty cubits away from the sanctuary. There were three levels of rooms, and the ones above looked down on the ones below and were open to them, having a walkway. Some of the rooms looked out onto the outer courtyard.
4 Og foran Cellerne var der en Gang, ti Alen bred imod det indre, en Vej af een Alen, og deres Døre vare imod Nord.
A passage ten cubits in width and one hundred cubits in length ran in front of the rooms. The rooms' doors were toward the north.
5 Og de øverste Celler vare snævrere; thi Omgangene toge noget bort fra dem, saa at de vare mindre end de nederste og de midterste i Bygning;
But the upper halls were smaller, for the walkways took away from them more space than they did in the lowest and middle levels of the building.
6 thi de vare tre Loft høje og havde ikke Søjler som Søjlerne i Forgaardene; derfor vare de fra Gulvet af smallere end de nederste og de midterste.
For the halls on the third story had no columns, unlike the courtyards, which did have columns. So the highest level's rooms were smaller in size compared to the rooms in the lowest and middle levels.
7 Og en Mur udadtil, der løb lige med Cellerne hen imod den ydre Forgaard, gik foran Cellerne, dens Længde var halvtredsindstyve Alen;
The outside wall ran along the rooms toward the outer courtyard, the courtyard that was in front of the rooms. That wall was fifty cubits in length.
8 thi Længden paa Cellerne, som vare i den ydre Forgaard, var halvtredsindstyve Alen; og se, foran Templet vare de hundrede Alen.
The length of the rooms of the outer courtyard was fifty cubits, and the rooms facing the sanctuary were one hundred cubits in length.
9 Og neden for den laa disse Celler; Indgangen var fra Øst, naar man gik til dem, fra den ydre Forgaard.
There was an entrance to the lowest rooms from the east side, coming from the outer courtyard.
10 Paa Bredsiden af Forgaardens Mur, naar man gaar imod Øst, foran det afskaarne Rum og foran Bygningen var der Kamre.
Along the wall of the outer courtyard on the eastern side of the outer courtyard, in front of the sanctuary's inner courtyard, there were also rooms
11 Og der var en Vej foran dem, de havde samme Udseende som Cellerne imod Nord; som de havde disses Længde, saa havde de og disses Bredde og alle disses Udgange og disses Indretninger, og som disses Døre
with a walkway in front of them. They were as the appearance of the rooms on the northern side. They had the same length and breadth and the same exits and arrangements and doors.
12 saa vare og Dørene paa de Celler, som laa paa Sydsiden, en Dør, hvor Vejen begyndte, den Vej, som var over for den afmaalte Mur, imod Øst, naar man gik ind til dem.
On the south side were doors into rooms that were just the same as on the north side. A passage on the inside had a door at its head, and the passage opened into the various rooms. On the east side there was a doorway into the passage at one end.
13 Og han sagde til mig: Cellerne imod Norden og Cellerne imod Sønden, der ligge foran det afskaarne Rum, disse ere Helligdommens Celler, hvor Præsterne, som staa Herren nær, skulle æde det højhellige; der skulle de lægge det højhellige og Madofferet og Syndofferet og Skyldofferet, thi Stedet er helligt.
Then the man said to me, “The northern rooms and the southern rooms that are in front of the outer courtyard are holy rooms where the priests who work nearest to Yahweh may eat the most holy food. They will put the most holy things there—the food offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering—for this is a holy place.
14 Naar Præsterne gaa ind, da skulle de ikke gaa ud igen af Helligdommen i den ydre Forgaard, men der skulle de nedlægge deres Klæder, i hvilke de gjøre Tjeneste, thi disse ere hellige; og de skulle iføre sig andre Klæder og saa nærme sig til det, som hører Folket til.
When the priests enter there, they must not go out of the holy place to the outer court, without laying aside the clothes in which they served, since these are holy. So they must dress in other clothes before going near the people.”
15 Og da han var færdig med Maalene i det indre Hus, førte han mig ud ad den Port, som vendte imod Østen, og han maalte der trindt omkring.
The man completed measuring the inner house and then took me out to the gate that faced the east and measured all the surrounding area there.
16 Han maalte Østsiden med Maalestokken til fem Hundrede Maal med Maalestokken trindt omkring.
He measured the east side with a measuring stick—five hundred cubits with the measuring stick.
17 Han maalte Nordsiden til fem Hundrede Maal med Maalestokken trindt omkring.
He measured the north side—five hundred cubits with the measuring stick.
18 Han maalte Sydsiden til fem Hundrede Maal med Maalestokken.
He also measured the south side—five hundred cubits with the measuring stick.
19 Han gik om til Vestsiden og maalte fem Hundrede Maal med Maalestokken.
He also turned and measured the west side—five hundred cubits with the measuring stick.
20 Paa de fire Sider maalte han det; der var en Mur trindt omkring, fem Hundrede Maal i Længden og fem Hundrede i Bredden, til at gøre Skel imellem det Hellige og det almindelige.
He measured it on four sides. It had a wall around it that was five hundred cubits in length, and five hundred cubits in width, to separate the holy from that which is common.
