Ezequiel 42

1 El hombre me sacó por la puerta norte al patio exterior, a las habitaciones que se encuentran en el lado más alejado del patio del Templo, junto al muro exterior norte.

And he brought me into the inner court eastward, opposite the northern gate: and he brought me in, and behold five chambers near the vacant space, and near the northern partition,

2 El edificio que daba a la puerta norte tenía cien codos de largo y cincuenta de ancho.

a hundred cubits in length towards the north, and in breadth fifty,

3 Tenía tres pisos de salas abiertas a ambos lados, uno que daba a la zona de veinte codos del patio interior y otro que daba al pavimento del patio exterior.

ornamented accordingly as the gates of the inner court, and arranged accordingly as the peristyles of the outer court, [with] triple porticos fronting one another.

4 Delante de las salas había un pasillo interior de diez codos de ancho y cien de largo. Sus puertas daban al norte.

And in front of the chambers was a walk ten cubits in breadth, the length [reaching] to a hundred cubits; and their doors were northward.

5 Las habitaciones superiores eran más pequeñas debido al espacio que ocupaban las salas abiertas en los niveles inferior y medio del edificio.

And the upper walks were in like manner: for the peristyle projected from it, [even] from the range of columns below, and [there was] a space between; so [were there] a peristyle and a space between, and so [were there] two porticos.

6 Como no tenían pilares como los patios, las habitaciones superiores estaban más alejadas que las de los niveles inferior y medio.

For they were triple, and they had not pillars like the pillars of the outer ones: therefore they projected from the lower ones and the middle ones from the ground.

7 Delante de las habitaciones había un muro exterior de cincuenta codos de largo, paralelo al patio exterior.

And [there was] light without, corresponding to the chambers of the outer court looking towards the front of the northern chambers; the length [of them was] fifty cubits.

8 Las habitaciones del patio exterior tenían una longitud de cincuenta codos, pero las que daban al Templo tenían una longitud de cien codos.

For the length of the chambers looking towards the inner court was fifty cubits, and these are the ones that front the others; the whole was a hundred cubits.

9 Debajo de estas habitaciones había una entrada en el lado este que venía del patio exterior.

And [there were] doors of these chambers for an outlet towards the east, so that one should go through them out of the outer court,

10 A lo largo del muro del sur lado del patio exterior había habitaciones junto al patio y frente al edificio.

by the opening of the walk at the corner; and the south parts were towards the south, towards the remaining space, and towards the partition, and [so were] the chambers.

11 Frente a ellas había un pasillo, al igual que las habitaciones del lado norte. Estas habitaciones tenían la misma longitud y anchura, las mismas puertas, planta y salidas.

And the walk was in front of them, according to the measures of the chambers towards the north, both according to the length of them, and according to the breadth of them, and according to all their openings, an according to all their turnings, and according to their lights, and according to their doors.

12 Del mismo modo, había una entrada debajo de las habitaciones del lado sur del edificio, que venía del lado este.

[So were the measures] of the chambers towards the south, and according to the doors at the entrance of the walk, as it were the distance of a reed for light, and eastward as one went in by them.

13 El hombre me dijo: “Las habitaciones del norte y del sur que dan al patio del Templo son habitaciones sagradas donde los sacerdotes que se presentan ante el Señor comerán las ofrendas más sagradas. Allí colocarán las ofrendas santísimas porque el lugar es sagrado, e incluyen las ofrendas de grano, las ofrendas por el pecado y las ofrendas por la culpa.

And he said to me, The chambers towards the north, and the chambers towards the south, in front of the void spaces, these are the chambers of the sanctuary, wherein the priests the sons of Sadduc, who draw night to the Lord, shall eat the most holy things: and there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat-offering, and the sin-offerings, and the trespass-offerings; because the place is holy.

14 Una vez que los sacerdotes hayan entrado en estas habitaciones, no deben salir al patio exterior antes de dejar sus ropas sacerdotales, porque éstas son sagradas. Deben cambiarse de ropa antes de ir donde está la gente común”.

None shall go in there except the priests, [and] they shall not go forth of the holy place into the outer court, that they that draw near [to me] may be continually holy, and may not touch their garments in which they minister, [with defilement], for they are holy; and they shall put on other garments whenever they come in contact with the people.

15 Cuando el hombre terminó de medir dentro del área del Templo, me sacó por la puerta oriental y midió también los alrededores.

So the measurement of the house within was accomplished: and he brought me forth by the way of the gate that looks eastward, and measured the plan of the house round about in order.

16 Con la vara de medir midió el lado oriental. Tenía quinientos codos de largo.

And he stood behind the gate looking eastward, and measured five hundred [cubits] with the measuring reed.

17 Midió el lado norte. Tenía quinientos codos de largo.

And he turned to the north and measured in front of the north [side] five hundred cubits with the measuring reed.

18 Midió el lado sur. Tenía quinientos codos de largo.

And he turned to the west, and measured in front of the west side, five hundred [cubits] with the measuring reed.

19 Luego dio la vuelta y midió el lado oeste. Tenía quinientos codos de largo.

And he turned to the south, and measured in front of the south side, five hundred [cubits] by the measuring reed.

20 Así midió los cuatro lados. Había un muro que lo rodeaba, de quinientos codos de largo y quinientos de ancho, que separaba lo sagrado de lo común.

The [four sides he measured] by the same reed, and he marked out the house and the circumference of the parts round about, [a space] of five hundred [cubits] eastward, and a breadth of five hundred cubits, to make a division between the sanctuary and the outer wall, that [belonged to] the design of the house.
