Esekiel 42

1 So let han meg ganga ut i den ytre fyregarden den vegen som gjekk nordetter. Og han let meg koma til den kovebygnaden som låg midt framfor det fråskilde tunet og beint imot bygnaden i nord,

Then he brought me forth into the outer court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the room that was over against the separate place, and which was over against the building toward the north.

2 til langsida som var på hundrad alner, med inngang i nord, men breiddi var femti alner.

The length of the front at the north entrance was one hundred seventy-two feet three inches, and the breadth was eighty-six feet two inches.

3 Beint imot eit stykke på tjuge alner av den indre fyregarden og midt framfor steingolvet i den ytre fyregarden, var det sval mot sval i tri høgder.

Facing the inner court of thirty-four feet five inches, and facing the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery facing gallery in three stories.

4 Og framanfor kovarne var det ein ti alner breid gang innetter, ein veg på ei aln; og dørerne deira snudde i nord.

Before the rooms was a walk of seventeen feet three inches breadth inward, a way of one hundred seventy-two feet three inches; and their doors were toward the north.

5 Og dei øvste kovarne var dei minste, for svalerne tok burt meir rom frå deim enn frå dei nedste og dei millomste i bygnaden.

Now the upper rooms were shorter; for the galleries took away from these, more than from the lower and the middle, in the building.

6 For dei låg i tri høgder, men hadde ikkje stolpar so som dei i fyregarden; difor smalkast det meir for dei øvste kovarne enn for dei nedste og millomste, frå jordi og uppetter.

For they were in three stories, and they didn't have pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore the uppermost was straitened more than the lowest and the middle from the ground.

7 Og ein mur som var utanfor, frammed kovarne, imot den ytre fyregarden, gjekk framanfor kovarne. Han var femti alner lang.

The wall that was outside by the side of the rooms, toward the outer court before the rooms, its length was eighty-six feet two inches.

8 For lengdi på dei kovarne som låg imot den ytre fyregarden, var femti alner, men sjå, mot templet: hundrad alner.

For the length of the rooms that were in the outer court was eighty-six feet two inches: and look, before the temple were one hundred seventy-two feet three inches.

9 Og nedunder desse kovarne var inngangen mot aust, når ein gjekk inn i deim frå den ytre fyregarden.

From under these rooms was the entry on the east side, as one goes into them from the outer court.

10 Der fyregardsmuren imot aust var på det tjukkaste, framanfor det fråskilde tunet og framanfor bygnaden, var det kovar.

In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the south, before the separate place, and before the building, there were rooms.

11 Og ein veg gjekk framanfor deim. Dei såg ut som dei kovarne som låg mot nord, like lange og like breide; likeins alle utgangar og tilskipnader elles og dørgap.

The way before them was like the appearance of the way of the rooms which were toward the north; according to their length so was their breadth: and all their exits were both according to their fashions, and according to their doors.

12 Og likeins dørerne på dei kovarne som låg mot sud; det var ei dør der som vegen tok til, vegen frammed den muren som høyrde til, vegen austetter når ein gjekk inn i deim.

According to the doors of the rooms that were toward the south was a door at the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall toward the east, as one enters into them.

13 So sagde han med meg: «Kovarne mot nord og kovarne mot sud, som ligg innmed det fråskilde tunet, dei er heilage kovar, der prestarne som er nær Herren skal eta det høgheilage. Der skal dei leggja det høgheilage, både grjonofferet og syndofferet og skuldofferet, for staden er heilag.

Then he said to me, "The north rooms and the south rooms, which are before the separate place, they are the holy rooms, where the cohanim who are near to YHWH shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meal offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; for the place is holy.

14 Når prestarne gjeng inn, so skal dei ikkje ganga ut att or heilagdomen og ut i den ytre fyregarden, men der skal dei leggja av seg klædi som dei hev gjort tenesta i, for dei er heilage. Dei skal taka på seg andre klæde og so ganga dit der folket må vera.»

When the cohanim enter in, then shall they not go out of the holy place into the outer court, but there they shall lay their garments in which they minister; for they are holy: and they shall put on other garments, and shall approach to that which pertains to the people."

15 Og då han hadde gjort mælingi frå seg i det indre huset, fylgde han meg ut gjenom den porten som hadde framsida mot aust, og der mælte han rundt ikring.

Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it all around.

16 Han mælte austsida med mælestongi: fem hundrad stenger etter mælestongi rundt ikring.

He measured on the east side with the measuring reed eight hundred sixty-one feet three inches, with the measuring reed all around.

17 Han mælte nordsida: fem hundrad stenger etter mælestongi rundt ikring.

The ledge shall be twenty-four feet one inch long by twenty-four feet one inch broad in the four sides of it; and the border about it shall be ten and a half inches; and its bottom shall be twenty-one inches around; and its steps shall look toward the east."

18 Sudsida mælte han: fem hundrad stenger etter mælestong.

He measured on the south side eight hundred sixty-one feet three inches with the measuring reed.

19 Han snudde og gjekk mot vestsida; han mælte fem hundrad stenger etter mælestong.

He turned about to the west side, and measured eight hundred sixty-one feet three inches with the measuring reed.

20 På dei fire sidorne mælte han det. Det hadde ein mur rundt ikring: fem hundrad stenger lang og fem hundrad breid, til å skilja det heilage frå det som var uhelga.

He measured it on the four sides: it had a wall around it, the length eight hundred sixty-one feet three inches, and the breadth eight hundred sixty-one feet three inches, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.
