Ezekiel 43
1 And he brought me to the gate that looked towards the east.
Derpaa førte han mig hen til Østporten.
2 And behold the glory of the God of Israel came in by the way of the east: and his voice was like the noise of many waters, and the earth shone with his majesty.
Og se Israels Guds Herlighed kom østerfra, og det lød som mange Vandes Brus, og Jorden lyste af hans Herlighed.
3 And I saw the vision according to the appearance which I had seen when he came to destroy the city: and the appearance was according to the vision which I had seen by the river Chobar: and I fell upon my face.
Synet var som det, jeg havde set, da han kom for at ødelægge Byen, og Vognen saa ud som den, jeg havde set ved Floden Kebar. Da faldt jeg paa mit Ansigt.
4 And the majesty of the Lord went into the temple by the way of the gate that looked to the east.
Og HERRENS Herlighed drog ind i Templet gennem den Port, hvis Forside vendte mod Øst.
5 And the spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court: and behold the house was filled with the glory of the Lord.
Men Aanden løftede mig op og bragte mig ind i den indre Forgaard, og se, HERRENS Herlighed fyldte Templet.
6 And I heard one speaking to me out of the house, and the man that stood by me,
Og jeg hørte en tale til mig ud fra Templet, medens Manden stod ved Siden af mig,
7 Said to me: Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever: and the house of Israel shall no more profane my holy name, they and their kings by their fornications, and by the carcasses of their kings, and by the high places.
og han sagde: Menneskesøn! Her er min Trones og mine Fodsaalers 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,
8 They who have set their threshold by my threshold, and their posts by my posts: and there was but a wall between me and them: and they profaned my holy name by the abominations which they committed: for which reason I consumed them in my wrath.
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, saa jeg maatte tilintetgøre dem i min Vrede.
9 Now therefore let them put away their fornications, and the carcasses of their kings far from me: and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.
Nu skal de fri mig for deres Bolen og deres Kongers Lig, saa jeg kan bo iblandt dem til evig Tid.
10 But thou, son of man, shew to the house of Israel the temple, and let them be ashamed of their iniquities, and let them measure the building:
Men du, Menneskesøn, giv Israels Hus en Beskrivelse af Templet, dets Udseende og Form, at de maa skamme sig over deres Misgerninger.
11 And be ashamed of all that they have done. Shew them the form of the house, and of the fashion thereof, the goings out and the comings in, and the whole plan thereof, and all its ordinances, and all its order, and all its laws, and thou shalt write it in their sight: that they may keep the whole form thereof, and its ordinances, and do them.
Og dersom de skammer sig over alt, hvad de har gjort, saa 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 maa mærke sig Billedet i sin Helhed og alle Vedtægterne og holde dem.
12 This is the law of the house upon the top of the mountain: All its border round about is most holy: this then is the law of the house.
Dette er Loven om Templet: Paa Bjergets Tinde skal alt dets Omraade til alle Sider være højhelligt; se, det er Loven om Templet.
13 And these are the measures of the altar by the truest cubit, which is a cubit and a handbreadth: the bottom thereof was a cubit, and the breadth a cubit: and the border thereof unto its edge, and round about, one handbreadth: and this was the trench of the altar.
Følgende er Alterets Maal i Alen, en Alen en Haandsbred længere end sædvanlig: Foden var en Alen høj og en Alen bred, Kantlisten Randen rundt et Spand høj. Om Alterets Højde gælder følgende:
14 And from the bottom of the ground to the lowest brim two cubits, and the breadth of one cubit: and from the lesser brim to the greater brim four cubits, and the breadth of one cubit.
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.
15 And the Ariel itself was four cubits: and from the Ariel upward were four horns.
Ildstedet var fire Alen højt, og fra Ildstedet ragede fire Horn i Vejret.
16 And the Ariel was twelve cubits long, and twelve cubits broad, foursquare, with equal sides.
Ildstedet var tolv Alen langt og tolv Alen bredt, saa det dannede en ligesidet Firkant.
17 And the brim was fourteen cubits long, and fourteen cubits broad in the four corners thereof: and the crown round about it was half a cubit, and the bottom of it one cubit round about: and its steps turned toward the east.
Det store Fremspring var fjorten Alen langt og fjorten Alen bredt paa alle fire Sider; det lille Fremspring seksten Alen langt og seksten Alen bredt paa alle fire Sider; Kantlisten rundt om en halv Alen bred og Foden en Alen bred rundt om. Trappen var paa Østsiden.
18 And he said to me: Son of man, thus saith the Lord God: These are the ceremonies of the altar, in what day soever it shall be made: that holocausts may be offered upon it, and blood poured out.
Og han sagde til mig: Menneskesøn! Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Følgende er Vedtægterne om Alteret, paa den Dag det bygges til at ofre Brændofre og sprænge Blod paa:
19 And thou shalt give to the priests, and the Levites, that are of the race of Sadoc, who approach to me, saith the Lord God, to offer to me a calf of the herd for sin.
Saa lyder det fra den Herre HERREN: Levitpræsterne, som nedstammer fra Zadok og maa nærme sig mig for at gøre Tjeneste for mig, skal du give en ung Tyr til Syndoffer;
20 And thou shalt take of his blood, and shalt put it upon the four horns thereof, and upon the four corners of the brim, and upon the crown round about: and thou shalt cleanse, and expiate it.
og du skal tage noget af dens Blod og stryge det paa Alterets fire Horn, paa Fremspringets fire Hjørner og paa Kantlisten rundt om og saaledes rense det for Synd og fuldbyrde Soningen for det.
21 And thou shalt take the calf, that is offered for sin: and thou shalt burn him in a separate place of the house without the sanctuary.
Og du skal tage Syndoffertyren og brænde den ved Tempelvagten uden for Helligdommen.
22 And in the second day thou shalt offer a he goat without blemish for sin: and they shall expiate the altar, as they expiated it with the calf.
Næste Dag skal du bringe en lydefri Gedebuk som Syndoffer, og de skal rense Alteret for Synd, ligesom de rensede det med Tyren.
23 And when thou shalt have made an end of the expiation thereof, thou shalt offer a calf of the herd without blemish, and a ram of the flock without blemish.
Og naar du er til Ende med at rense det for Synd, skal du bringe en lydefri ung Tyr og en lydefri Væder af Smaakvæget;
24 And thou shalt offer them in the sight of the Lord: and the priests shall put salt upon them, and shall offer them a holocaust to the Lord.
du skal bringe dem for HERRENS Aasyn, og Præsterne skal strø Salt paa dem og ofre dem som Brændoffer for HERREN.
25 Seven days shalt thou offer a he goat for sill daily: they shall offer also a calf of the herd, and a ram of the flock without blemish.
Syv Dage skal du daglig ofre en Syndofferbuk, og man skal ofre en ung Tyr og en Væder af Smaakvæget, lydefri Dyr;
26 Seven days shall they expiate the altar, and shall cleanse it: and they shall consecrate it.
i syv Dage skal man fuldbyrde Soningen for Alteret og rense det og indvie det.
27 And the days being, expired, on the eighth day and thenceforward, the priests shall offer your holocausts upon the altar, and the peace offerings: and I will be pacified towards you, saith the Lord God.
Saaledes skal man bære sig ad i disse Dage. Og paa den ottende Dag og siden hen skal Præsterne ofre eders Brændofre og Takofre paa Alteret; og jeg vil have Behag i eder, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
