Ezekiel 43

1 Derpå førte han mig hen til Østporten.

Moreover he brought me to the gate looking eastward, and led me forth.

2 Og se Israels Guds Herlighed kom østerfra, og det lød som mange Vandes Brus, og Jorden lyste af hans Herlighed.

And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came by the eastern way; and [there was] a voice of an army, as the sound of many redoubling [their shouts], and the earth shone like light from the glory round about.

3 Synet var som det, jeg havde set, da han kom for at ødelægge Byen, og Vognen så ud som den, jeg havde set ved Floden Kebar. Da faldt jeg på mit Ansigt.

And the vision which I saw was like the vision which I saw when I went in to anoint the city: and the vision of the chariot which I saw was like the vision which I saw at the river Chobar; and I fell upon my face.

4 Og HERRENs Herlighed drog ind i Templet gennem den Port, hvis Forside vendte mod Øst.

And the glory of the Lord came into the house, by the way of the gate looking eastward.

5 Men Ånden løftede mig op og bragte mig ind i den indre Forgård, og se, HERRENs Herlighed fyldte Templet.

And the Spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the house of the Lord was full of glory.

6 Og jeg hørte en tale til mig ud fra Templet, medens Manden stod ved Siden af mig,

And I stood, and behold [there was] a voice out of the house of one speaking to me, and a man stood near me,

7 og han sagde: Menneskesøn! Her er min Trones og mine Fodsålers Sted, hvor jeg vil bo midt iblandt Israeliterne til evig Tid. Israels Hus skal ikke mere vanhellige mit hellige Navn, hverken de eller deres konger, med deres Bolen eller deres kongers Lig,

and he said to me, Son of man, thou hast seen the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, in which my name shall dwell in the midst of the house of Israel for ever; and the house of Israel shall no more profane my holy name, they and their princes, by their fornication, or by the murders of [their] princes in the midst of them;

8 de, som satte deres Tærskel lige ved min og deres Dørstolper lige ved mine, kun med en Mur imellem mig og dem, og vanhelligede mit hellige Navn ved de Vederstyggeligheder, de øvede, så jeg måtte tilintetgøre dem i min Vrede.

when they set my door-way by their door-way, and my thresholds near to their thresholds: and they made my wall as it were joining myself and them, and they profaned my holy name with their iniquities which they wrought: and I destroyed them in my wrath and with slaughter.

9 Nu skal de fri mig for deres Bolen og deres Kongers Lig, så jeg kan bo iblandt dem til evig Tid.

And now let them put away from me their fornication, and the murders of their princes, and I will dwell in the midst of them forever.

10 Men du, Menneskesøn, giv Israels Hus en Beskrivelse af Templet, dets Udseende og Form, at de må skamme sig over deres Misgerninger.

And thou, son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may cease from their sins; and [shew] its aspect and the arrangement of it.

11 Og dersom de skammer sig over alt, hvad de har gjort, så kundgør dem Templets Omrids og Indretning, dets Udgange og Indgange, et helt Billede deraf; ligeledes alle Vedtægter og Love derom; og skriv det op for deres Øjne, at de må mærke sig Billedet i sin Helhed og alle Vedtægterne og holde dem.

And they shall bear their punishment for all the things that they have done: and thou shalt describe the house, and its entrances, and the plan thereof, and all its ordinances, and thou shalt make known to them all the regulations of it, and describe [them] before them: and they shall keep all my commandments, and all my ordinances, and do them.

12 Dette er Loven om Templet: På Bjergets Tinde skal alt dets Område til alle Sider være højhelligt; se, det er Loven om Templet.

And thou shalt shew the plan of the house on the top of the mountain: all its limits round about [shall be] most holy.

13 Følgende er Alterets Mål i Alen, en Alen en Håndsbred længere end sædvanlig: Foden var en Alen høj og en Alen bred, Kantlisten Randen rundt et Spand høj. Om Alterets Højde gælder følgende:

And these are the measures of the altar by the cubit of a cubit and a span, the cavity [shall be] a cubit deep, and a cubit shall be the breadth, and the border on the rim of it round about shall be a span: and this [shall be] the height of the altar

14 Fra Foden underneden op til det nederste Fremspring to Alen med en Alens Bredde; og fra det lille Fremspring til det store fire Alen med en Alens Bredde.

from the bottom at the commencement of the hollow part to this great mercy-seat, from beneath was two cubits, and the breadth was a cubit; and from the little mercy-seat to the great mercy-seat, four cubits, and the breadth was a cubit.

15 Ildstedet var fire Alen højt, og fra Ildstedet ragede fire Horn i Vejret.

And the altar [shall be] four cubits; and from the altar and above the horns a cubit.

16 Ildstedet var tolv Alen langt og tolv Alen bredt, så det dannede en ligesidet Firkant.

And the altar [shall be] of the length of twelve cubits, by twelve cubits [in breadth], square upon its four sides.

17 Det store Fremspring var fjorten Alen langt og fjorten Alen bredt på alle fire Sider; det lille Fremspring seksten Alen langt og seksten Alen bredt på alle fire Sider; Kantlisten rundt om en halv Alen bred og Foden en Alen bred rundt om. Trappen var på Østsiden.

And the mercy-seat [shall be] fourteen cubits in length, by fourteen cubits in breadth on its four sides; and [there shall be] a border to it carried round about it of half a cubit; and the rim of it [shall be] a cubit round about; and the steps thereof looking eastward.

18 Og han sagde til mig: Menneskesøn! Så siger den Herre HERREN: Følgende er Vedtægteme om Alteret, på den Dag det bygges til at ofre Brændofre og sprænge Blod på:

And he said to me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord God of Israel; These are the ordinances of the altar in the day of its being made, to offer upon it whole-burnt-offerings, and to pour blood upon it.

19 Så lyder det fra den Herre HERREN: Levitpræsterne, som nedstammer fra Zadok og må nærme sig mig for at gøre Tjeneste for mig, skal du give en ung Tyr til Syndoffer;

And thou shalt appoint to the priests the Levites of the seed of Sadduc, that draw nigh to me, saith the Lord God, to minister to me, a calf of the herd for a sin-offering.

20 og du skal tage noget af dens Blod og stryge det på Alterets fire Horn, på Fremspringets fire Hjørner og på Kantlisten rundt om og således rense det for Synd og fuldbyrde Soningen for det.

And they shall take of its blood, and shall put [it] on the four horns of the altar, and upon the four corners of the propitiatory, and upon the base round about, and they shall make atonement for it.

21 Og du skal tage Syndoffertyren og brænde den ved Tempelvagten uden for Helligdommen.

And they shall take the calf of the sin-offering, and it shall be consumed by fire in the separate place of the house, outside the sanctuary.

22 Næste Dag skal du bringe en lydefri Gedebuk som Syndoffer, og de skal rense Alteret for Synd, ligesom de rensede det med Tyren.

And on the second day they shall take two kids of the goats without blemish for a sin-offering; and they shall make atonement for the altar, as they made atonement with the calf.

23 Og når du er til Ende med at rense det for Synd, skal du bringe en lydefri ung Tyr og en lydefri Væder af Småkvæget;

And after they have finished the atonement, they shall bring an unblemished calf of the herd, and an unblemished ram of the flock.

24 du skal bringe dem for HERRENs Åsyn, og Præsterne skal strø Salt på dem og ofre dem som Brændoffer for HERREN.

And ye shall offer [them] before the Lord, and the priests shall sprinkle salt upon them, and shall offer them up [as] whole-burnt-offerings to the Lord.

25 Syv Dage skal du daglig ofre en Syndofferbuk, og man skal ofre en ung Tyr og en Væder af Småkvæget, lydefri Dyr;

Seven days shalt thou offer a kid daily for a sin-offering, and a calf of the herd, and a ram out of the flock: they shall sacrifice them unblemished for seven days:

26 i syv Dage skal man fuldbyrde Soningen for Alteret og rense det og indvie det.

and they shall make atonement for the altar, and shall purge it; and they shall consecrate themselves.

27 Således skal man bære sig ad i disse Dage. Og på den ottende Dag og siden hen skal Præsterne ofre eders Brændofre og Takofre på Alteret; og jeg vil have Behag i eder, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

And it shall come to pass from the eighth day and onward, [that] the priests shall offer your whole-burnt-offerings on the altar, and your peace-offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord.
