エゼキエル書 40

1 われわれが捕え移されてから二十五年、都が打ち破られて後十四年、その年の初めの月の十日、その日に主の手がわたしに臨み、わたしをかの所に携えて行った。

In the twenty-fifth year of our transmigration, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was struck, on this very day, the hand of the Lord was placed upon me, and he brought me to that place.

2 すなわち神は幻のうちに、わたしをイスラエルの地に携えて行って、非常に高い山の上におろされた。その山の上に、わたしと相対して、一つの町のような建物があった。

In the visions of God, he brought me into the land of Israel, and he released me on an exceedingly high mountain, on which there was something like the edifice of a city, verging toward the south.

3 神がわたしをそこに携えて行かれると、見よ、ひとりの人がいた。その姿は青銅の形のようで、手に麻のなわと、測りざおとを持って門に立っていた。

And he led me into that place. And behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a linen rope in his hand, and a measuring reed in his hand. And he was standing at the gate.

4 その人はわたしに言った、「人の子よ、目で見、耳で聞き、わたしがあなたに示す、すべての事を心にとめよ。あなたをここに携えて来たのは、これをあなたに示すためである。あなたの見ることを、ことごとくイスラエルの家に告げよ」。

And the same man said to me: “Son of man, look with your eyes, and listen with your ears, and set your heart upon all that I will reveal to you. For you have been brought to this place, so that these things may be revealed to you. Announce all that you see to the house of Israel.”

5 見よ、宮の外の周囲に、かきがあり、その人の手に六キュビトの測りざおがあった。そのキュビトは、おのおの一キュビトと一手幅とである。彼が、そのかきの厚さを測ると、一さおあり、高さも一さおあった。

And behold, there was a wall outside of the house, encircling it all around, and in the man’s hand was a measuring reed of six cubits and a palm. And he measured the width of the edifice with one reed; likewise, the height with one reed.

6 彼が東向きの門に行き、その階段を上って、門の敷居を測ると、その厚さは一さおあり、

And he went to the gate which looked toward the east, and he ascended by its steps. And he measured the width of the threshold of the gate as one reed, that is, one threshold was one reed in width.

7 その詰め所は長さ一さお、幅一さお、詰め所と、詰め所との間は五キュビトあり、内の門の廊のかたわらの門の敷居は一さおあった。

And a chamber was one reed in length and one reed in width. And between the chambers, there were five cubits.

8 門の廊を測ると八キュビトあり、

And the threshold of the gate, next to the inner vestibule of the gate, was one reed.

9 その脇柱は二キュビト、門の廊は内側にあった。

And he measured the vestibule of the gate as eight cubits, and its front as two cubits. But the vestibule of the gate was inside.

10 東向きの門の詰め所は、こなたに三つ、かなたに三つあり、三つとも同じ寸法である。脇柱もまた、こなたかなたともに同じ寸法である。

Moreover, the chambers of the gate, toward the way of the east, were three from one side to the other. The three were of one measure, and the fronts were of one measure, on both sides.

11 門の入口の広さを測ると十キュビトあり、門の長さは十三キュビトあった。

And he measured the width of the threshold of the gate as ten cubits, and the length of the gate as thirteen cubits.

12 詰め所の前の境は一キュビト、かなたの境も一キュビトで、詰め所は、こなたかなたともに六キュビトあった。

And before the chambers, the border was one cubit. And on both sides, the border was one cubit. But the chambers were six cubits, from one side to the other.

13 彼がまたこの詰め所の裏から、かの詰め所の裏まで、門を測ると、入口から入口まで二十五キュビトあった。

And he measured the gate, from the roof of one chamber to the roof of another, twenty-five cubits in width, from door to door.

14 彼がまた廊を測ると二十キュビトあり、門の廊の周囲は、すべて庭である。

And he found the fronts to be sixty cubits. And at the front, there was a court for the gate on every side all around.

15 入口の門の前から内の門の廊の前まで五十キュビトあり、

And before the face of the gate, which extended even to the face of the vestibule of the gate of the interior, there were fifty cubits.

16 詰め所と、門の内側の周囲の脇柱とに窓があり、廊の内側の周囲にも、同様に窓があり、脇柱には、しゅろがあった。

And there were slanting windows in the chambers and at their fronts, which were within the gate on every side all around. And similarly, there were also windows in the vestibules all around the interior, and there were images of palm trees before the fronts.

17 彼がまたわたしを外庭に携え入れると、見よ、庭の周囲に設けた室と、敷石とがあり、敷石の上に三十の室があった。

And he led me away to the outer court, and behold, there were storerooms and a layer of pavement stones throughout the court. Thirty storerooms encircled the pavement.

18 敷石は門のわきにあり、門と同じ長さで、これは下の敷石である。

And the pavement in front of the gates, along the length of the gates, was lower.

19 彼が下の門の内の前から、内庭の外の前までの距離を測ると、百キュビトあった。

And he measured the width, from the face of the lower gate to the front of the outer part of the inner court, to be one hundred cubits, to the east and to the north.

20 また彼はわたしに先だって北へ行った。見よ、そこに外庭に属する北向きの門があった。彼はその長さと幅とを測った。

Likewise, he measured the gate of the outer court, which looked to the way of the north, to be as much in length as in width.

21 その詰め所が、こなたに三つ、かなたに三つあり、また脇柱と廊とがあった。これらは初めの門と同じ寸法で、長さは五十キュビト、幅は二十五キュビトである。

And its chambers were three from one side to the other. And its front and its vestibule, in accord with the measure of the former gate, were fifty cubits in its length and twenty-five cubits in width.

22 その窓と、廊と、しゅろとは、東向きの門にあるものと同じ寸法である。そして七段の階段を経て、それに上ると、廊は内側にあった。

Now its windows, and the vestibule, and the engravings were in accord with the measure of the gate which looked to the east. And its ascent was by seven steps, and a vestibule was before it.

23 内庭の門は北と東の門に向かっていた。彼が門から門までを測ると、百キュビトあった。

And the gate of the inner court was opposite the gate of the north, and that of the east. And he measured from gate to gate as one hundred cubits.

24 彼がまたわたしを南へ行かせると、見よ、南向きの門があった。その脇柱と廊を測ると、他と同じ寸法であった。

And he led me to the way of the south, and behold, there was a gate which looked toward the south. And he measured its front and its vestibule to be the same as the measures above.

And its windows and the vestibule all around were like the other windows: fifty cubits in length and twenty-five cubits in width.

26 これを上るのに七段の階段があり、その廊は内側にあった。その脇柱の上には、こなたに一つ、かなたに一つのしゅろがあった。

And there were seven steps to ascend to it, and a vestibule before its doors. And there were engraved palm trees, one on each side, at its front.

27 内庭には南向きの門があり、門から門まで南の方へ測ると、百キュビトあった。

29 その詰め所と、脇柱と、廊とは、他のものと同じ寸法で、その門と、廊の周囲とには窓があり、門の長さは五十キュビト、幅は二十五キュビトであった。

Its chamber, and its front, and its vestibule had the same measures. And its windows and its vestibule all around were fifty cubits in length, and twenty-five cubits in width.

30 周囲に廊があって、その長さは二十五キュビト、幅は五キュビトである。

And the vestibule all around was twenty-five cubits in length, and five cubits in width.

31 その廊は外庭に面して、脇柱の上にしゅろがあり、その階段は八段であった。

And its vestibule looked toward the outer court. And an engraving of palm trees at its front was on one side and the other. And its ascent was by eight steps.

38 門の廊に戸のある室があって、そこは燔祭の物を洗う所である。

And at each one of the storerooms, there was a door at the front of the gates. There, they washed the holocaust.

39 門の廊に、こなたに二つの台、かなたに二つの台があり、その上で、燔祭、罪祭、愆祭の物をほふるのであった。

And at the vestibule of the gate, there were two tables on one side, and two tables on the other side, so that the holocaust, and the offering for sin, and the offering for transgression could be immolated upon them.

40 北の門の入口にある廊の外の片側に、二つの台があり、門の廊の他の側にも、二つの台があり、

And at the outer side, which ascends to the door of the gate that goes toward the north, there were two tables. And at the other side, before the vestibule of the gate, there were two tables.

41 門のかたわら、内側に四つの台、外側に四つの台があって、合わせて八つの台である。その上で、犠牲の物をほふるのである。

Four tables were on one side, and four tables were on the other side; along the sides of the gate, there were eight tables, upon which they immolated.

42 そこにまた燔祭のために四つの切り石の台があり、その長さは一キュビト半、幅は一キュビト半、高さは一キュビト、その上に燔祭および犠牲をほふる器を置くのである。

Now the four tables for the holocausts were constructed of square stones: one and a half cubit in length, and one and a half cubits in width, and one cubit in height. Upon these, they placed the vessels, in which the holocaust and the victim were immolated.

43 内の周囲に、一手幅の折り釘が打ちつけてあって、供え物の肉は、台の上に置かれるのである。

And their edges were one palm in width, turned inward all around. And the flesh of the oblation was on the tables.

44 彼はまたわたしを、外から内庭に連れてはいった。見よ、内庭に二つの室があり、一つは北の門のかたわらにあって南に向かい、一つは南の門のかたわらにあって、北に向かっていた。

And outside the interior gate, there were storerooms for the cantors, in the inner court, which was beside the gate that looks toward the north. And their face was opposite the way to the south; one was beside the east gate, which looked toward the way of the north.

45 彼はわたしに言った、この南向きの室は、宮を守る祭司のためのもの、

And he said to me: “This is the storeroom that looks toward the south; it shall be for the priests who keep watch for the protection of the temple.

46 また北向きの室は、祭壇を守る祭司のためのものである。その人たちは、レビの子孫のうちのザドクの子孫であって、主に近く仕える者たちである。

Moreover, the storeroom that looks toward the north will be for the priests who keep watch over the ministry of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, those among the sons of Levi who may draw near to the Lord, so that they may minister to him.”

47 そして彼が庭を測ると、その長さは百キュビト、幅も百キュビトで四角である。宮の前には祭壇があった。

And he measured the court to be one hundred cubits in length, and one hundred cubits in width, with four equal sides. And the altar was before the face of the temple.
