Hiezechielis Prophetæ 40
1 In vigesimo quinto anno transmigrationis nostræ, in exordio anni, decima mensis, quartodecimo anno postquam percussa est civitas: in ipsa hac die facta est super me manus Domini, et adduxit me illuc.
In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was smitten, in the same day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and brought me there.
2 In visionibus Dei adduxit me in terram Israel, et dimisit me super montem excelsum nimis: super quem erat quasi ædificium civitatis vergentis ad Austrum.
In the visions of God he brought me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which was a structure like a city on the south.
3 Et introduxit me illuc: et ecce vir, cuius erat species quasi species æris, et funiculus lineus in manu eius, et calamus mensuræ in manu eius: stabat autem in porta.
And he brought me there, and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.
4 Et locutus est ad me idem vir: Fili hominis vide oculis tuis, et auribus tuis audi, et pone cor tuum in omnia, quæ ego ostendam tibi: quia ut ostendantur tibi adductus es huc: annuncia omnia, quæ tu vides, domui Israel.
And the man said to me, Son of man, behold with thy eyes, and hear with thy ears, and set thy heart upon all that I shall show thee; for to the intent that I might show them to thee art thou brought here: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.
5 Et ecce murus forinsecus in circuitu domus undique, et in manu viri calamus mensuræ sex cubitorum, et palmo: et mensus est latitudinem ædificii calamo uno, altitudinem quoque calamo uno.
And behold a wall on the outside of the house all around, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed of six cubits long by the cubit and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.
6 Et venit ad portam quæ respiciebat viam orientalem, et ascendit per gradus eius: et mensus est limen portæ calamo uno latitudinem, id est, limen unum calamo uno in latitudine:
Then he came to the gate which looketh toward the east, and went up its steps, and measured the threshold of the gate, which was one reed broad; and the other threshold of the gate, which was one reed broad.
7 et thalamum uno calamo in longum, et uno calamo in latum: et inter thalamos, quinque cubitos:
And every little chamber was one reed long, and one reed broad; and between the little chambers were five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within was one reed.
8 et limen portæ iuxta vestibulum portæ intrinsecus, calamo uno.
He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed.
9 Et mensus est vestibulum portæ octo cubitorum, et frontem eius duobus cubitis: vestibulum autem portæ erat intrinsecus.
Then he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and its posts, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was inside.
10 Porro thalami portæ ad viam Orientalem, tres hinc et tres inde: mensura una trium, et mensura una frontium ex utraque parte.
And the little chambers of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side.
11 Et mensus est latitudinem liminis portæ, decem cubitorum: et longitudinem portæ, tredecim cubitorum:
And he measured the breadth of the entrance of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.
12 Et marginem ante thalamos cubiti unius: et cubitus unus finis utrimque: thalami autem, sex cubitorum erant hinc et inde.
The space also before the little chambers was one cubit on this side, and the space was one cubit on that side: and the little chambers were six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.
13 Et mensus est portam a tecto thalami, usque ad tectum eius, latitudinem vigintiquinque cubitorum: ostium contra ostium.
He measured then the gate from the roof of one little chamber to the roof of another: the breadth was five and twenty cubits, door against door.
14 Et fecit frontes per sexaginta cubitos: et ad frontem atrium portæ undique per circuitum.
He made also posts of sixty cubits, even to the post of the court around to the gate.
15 Et ante faciem portæ, quæ pertingebat usque ad faciem vestibuli portæ interioris, quinquaginta cubitos.
And from the face of the gate of the entrance to the face of the porch of the inner gate were fifty cubits.
16 Et fenestras obliquas in thalamis, et in frontibus eorum, quæ erant intra portam undique per circuitum: similiter autem erant et in vestibulis fenestræ per gyrum intrinsecus, et ante frontes pictura palmarum.
And there were narrow windows to the little chambers, and to their posts within the gate on every side, and likewise to the arches: and windows were all around inside: and upon each post were palm trees.
17 Et eduxit me ad atrium exterius, et ecce gazophylacia, et pavimentum stratum lapide in atrio per circuitum: triginta gazophylacia in circuitu pavimenti.
Then he brought me into the outer court, and, lo, there were chambers, and a pavement made for the court all around: thirty chambers were upon the pavement.
18 Et pavimentum in fronte portarum secundum longitudinem portarum erat inferius.
And the pavement by the side of the gates was as wide as the length of the gates; was to the lower pavement.
19 Et mensus est latitudinem a facie portæ inferioris usque ad frontem atrii interioris extrinsecus, centum cubitos ad Orientem, et ad Aquilonem.
Then he measured the breadth from the front of the lower gate to the front of the inner court on the other side, an hundred cubits eastward and northward.
20 Portam quoque, quæ respiciebat viam Aquilonis atrii exterioris, mensus est tam in longitudine, quam in latitudine.
And the gate of the outer court that looked toward the north, he measured its length, and its breadth.
21 Et thalamos eius tres hinc, et tres inde: et frontem eius, et vestibulum eius secundum mensuram portæ prioris, quinquaginta cubitorum longitudinem eius, et latitudinem viginti quinque cubitorum.
And its little chambers were three on this side and three on that side; and its posts and its arches were after the measure of the first gate: its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth five and twenty cubits.
22 Fenestræ autem eius, et vestibulum, et sculpturæ secundum mensuram portæ, quæ respiciebat ad Orientem: et septem graduum erat ascensus eius, et vestibulum ante eam.
And their windows, and their arches, and their palm trees, were after the measure of the gate that looketh toward the east; and they went up to it by seven steps; and its arches were before them.
23 Et porta atrii interioris contra portam Aquilonis, et Orientalem: et mensus est a porta usque ad portam centum cubitos.
And the gate of the inner court was opposite the gate toward the north, and toward the east; and he measured from gate to gate an hundred cubits.
24 Et eduxit me ad viam australem, et ecce porta, quæ respiciebat ad Austrum: et mensus est frontem eius, et vestibulum eius iuxta mensuras superiores.
After that he brought me toward the south, and behold a gate toward the south: and he measured its posts and its arches according to these measures.
25 Et fenestras eius, et vestibula in circuitu, sicut fenestras ceteras: quinquaginta cubitorum longitudine, et latitudine vigintiquinque cubitorum.
And there were windows in it and in its arches all around, like those windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
26 Et in gradibus septem ascendebatur ad eam: et vestibulum ante fores eius: et cælatæ palmæ erant, una hinc, et altera inde in fronte eius.
And there were seven steps to go up to it, and its arches were before them: and it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon its posts.
27 Et porta atrii interioris in via australi: et mensus est a porta usque ad portam in via australi, centum cubitos.
And there was a gate in the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south an hundred cubits.
28 Et introduxit me in atrium interius ad portam australem: et mensus est portam iuxta mensuras superiores.
And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he measured the south gate according to these measures;
29 Thalamum eius, et frontem eius, et vestibulum eius eisdem mensuris: et fenestras eius, et vestibulum eius in circuitu quinquaginta cubitos longitudinis, et latitudinis vigintiquinque cubitos.
And its little chambers, and its posts, and its arches, according to these measures: and there were windows in it and in its arches all around: it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
30 Et vestibulum per gyrum longitudine vigintiquinque cubitorum, et latitudine quinque cubitorum.
And the arches all around were five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad.
31 Et vestibulum eius ad atrium exterius, et palmas eius in fronte: et octo gradus erant, quibus ascendebatur per eam.
And its arches were toward the outer court; and palm trees were upon its posts: and the ascent to it had eight steps.
32 Et introduxit me in atrium interius per viam orientalem: et mensus est portam secundum mensuras superiores.
And he brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the gate according to these measures.
33 Thalamum eius, et frontem eius, et vestibulum eius sicut supra: et fenestras eius, et vestibula eius in circuitu, longitudine quinquaginta cubitorum, et latitudine vigintiquinque cubitorum.
And its little chambers, and its posts, and its arches, were according to these measures: and there were windows in it and in its arches all around: it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
34 Et vestibulum eius, id est, atrii exterioris: et palmæ cælatæ in fronte eius hinc et inde: et in octo gradibus ascensus eius.
And its arches were toward the outer court; and palm trees were upon its posts, on this side, and on that side: and the ascent to it had eight steps.
35 Et introduxit me ad portam, quæ respiciebat ad Aquilonem: et mensus est secundum mensuras superiores.
And he brought me to the north gate, and measured it according to these measures;
36 Thalamum eius, et frontem eius, et vestibulum eius, et fenestras eius per circuitum, longitudine quinquaginta cubitorum, et latitudine vigintiquinque cubitorum.
Its little chambers, its posts, and its arches, and the windows all around: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
37 Et vestibulum eius respiciebat ad atrium exterius: et cælatura palmarum in fronte eius hinc et inde: et in octo gradibus ascensus eius.
And its posts were toward the outer court; and palm trees were upon its posts, on this side, and on that side: and the ascent to it had eight steps.
38 Et per singula gazophylacia ostium in frontibus portarum: ibi lavabant holocaustum.
And the chambers and its entrances were by the posts of the gates, where they washed the burnt offering.
39 Et in vestibulo portæ, duæ mensæ hinc, et duæ mensæ inde: ut immoletur super eas holocaustum, et pro peccato, et pro delicto.
And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slay on it the burnt offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering.
40 Et ad latus exterius, quod ascendit ad ostium portæ, quæ pergit ad Aquilonem, duæ mensæ: et ad latus alterum ante vestibulum portæ, duæ mensæ.
And on the outside, as one goeth up to the entrance of the north gate, were two tables; and on the other side, which was at the porch of the gate, were two tables.
41 Quattuor mensæ hinc, et quattuor mensæ inde: per latera portæ octo mensæ erant, super quas immolabant.
Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, upon which they slew their sacrifices.
42 Quattuor autem mensæ ad holocaustum, de lapidibus quadris extructæ: longitudine cubiti unius et dimidii: et latitudine cubiti unius et dimidii: et altitudine cubiti unius: super quas ponant vasa, in quibus immolatur holocaustum, et victima.
And the four tables were of hewn stone for the burnt offering, of a cubit and an half long, and a cubit and an half broad, and one cubit high: upon which also they laid the instruments with which they slew the burnt offering and the sacrifice.
43 Et labia earum palmi unius, reflexa intrinsecus per circuitum: super mensas autem carnes oblationis.
And within were hooks, an hand broad, fastened all around: and upon the tables was the flesh of the offering.
44 Et extra portam interiorem gazophylacia cantorum in atrio interiori, quod erat in latere portæ respicientis ad Aquilonem: et facies eorum contra viam Australem, una ex latere portæ Orientalis, quæ respiciebat ad viam Aquilonis.
And outside the inner gate were the chambers of the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate; and their prospect was toward the south: one at the side of the east gate having the prospect toward the north.
45 Et dixit ad me: Hoc est gazophylacium, quod respicit viam Meridianam, sacerdotum erit, qui excubant in custodiis templi.
And he said to me, This chamber, whose prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house.
46 Porro gazophylacium, quod respicit ad viam Aquilonis, sacerdotum erit, qui excubant ad ministerium altaris. Isti sunt filii Sadoc, qui accedunt de filiis Levi ad Dominum ut ministrent ei.
And the chamber whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok among the sons of Levi, who come near to the LORD to minister to him.
47 Et mensus est atrium longitudine centum cubitorum, et latitudine centum cubitorum per quadrum: et altare ante faciem templi.
So he measured the court, an hundred cubits long, and an hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar that was before the house.
48 Et introduxit me in vestibulum templi: et mensus est vestibulum quinque cubitis hinc, et quinque cubitis inde: et latitudinem portæ trium cubitorum hinc, et trium cubitorum inde.
And he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side.
49 Longitudinem autem vestibuli viginti cubitorum, et latitudinem undecim cubitorum, et octo gradibus ascendebatur ad eam. Et columnæ erant in frontibus: una hinc, et altera inde.
The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; and he brought me by the steps by which they went up to it: and there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
