Ezekiel 40

1 In the twenty-fifth year of our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month—in the fourteenth year after Jerusalem had been struck down—on that very day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and He took me there.

1 我們被擄掠第二十五年，耶路撒冷城攻破後十四年，正在年初，月之初十日，耶和華的靈 降在我身上，他把我帶到以色列地。

2 In visions of God He took me to the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain, on whose southern slope was a structure that resembled a city.

2 在上帝的異象中帶我到以色列地，安置在至高的山上；在山上的南邊有彷彿一座城建立。

3 So He took me there, and I saw a man whose appearance was like bronze. He was standing in the gateway with a linen cord and a measuring rod in his hand.

3 他帶我到那裏，見有一人，顏色 如銅，手拿麻繩和量度的竿，站在門口。

4 “Son of man,” he said to me, “look with your eyes, hear with your ears, and pay attention to everything I am going to show you, for that is why you have been brought here. Report to the house of Israel everything you see.”

4 那人對我說：「人子啊，凡我所指示你的，你都要用眼看，用耳聽，並要放在心上。我帶你到這裏來，特為要指示你；凡你所見的，你都要告訴以色列家。」

5 And I saw a wall surrounding the temple area. Now the length of the measuring rod in the man’s hand was six long cubits (each measuring a cubit and a handbreadth), and he measured the wall to be one rod thick and one rod high.

5 我見殿四圍有牆。那人手拿量度的竿，長六肘，每肘是一肘零一掌。他用竿量牆，厚一竿，高一竿。

6 Then he came to the gate facing east and climbed its steps. He measured the threshold of the gate to be one rod deep.

6 他到了朝東的門，就上門的臺階，量門的這檻，寬一竿；又量門的那檻，寬一竿。

7 Each gate chamber was one rod long and one rod wide, and there were five cubits between the gate chambers. The inner threshold of the gate by the portico facing inward was one rod deep.

7 又有衛房，每房長一竿，寬一竿，相隔五肘。門檻，就是挨着向殿的廊門檻，寬一竿。

8 Then he measured the portico of the gateway inside;

8 他又量向殿門的廊子，寬一竿。

9 it was eight cubits deep, and its jambs were two cubits thick. And the portico of the gateway faced the temple.

9 又量門廊，寬八肘，牆柱厚二肘；那門的廊子向着殿。

10 There were three gate chambers on each side of the east gate, each with the same measurements, and the gateposts on either side also had the same measurements.

10 東門洞有衛房：這旁三間，那旁三間，都是一樣的尺寸；這邊的柱子和那邊的柱子，也是一樣的尺寸。

11 And he measured the width of the gateway entrance to be ten cubits, and its length was thirteen cubits.

11 他量門口，寬十肘，長十三肘。

12 In front of each gate chamber was a wall one cubit high, and the gate chambers were six cubits square.

12 衛房前展出的境界：這邊一肘，那邊一肘；衛房這邊六肘，那邊六肘。

13 Then he measured the gateway from the roof of one gate chamber to the roof of the opposite one; the distance was twenty-five cubits from doorway to doorway.

13 又量門洞，從這衛房頂的後檐到那衛房頂的後檐，寬二十五肘；衛房門與門相對。

14 Next he measured the gateposts to be sixty cubits high. The gateway extended around to the gatepost of the courtyard.

14 又量 廊子六十肘 ，牆柱外是院子，有廊為界，在門洞兩邊。

15 And the distance from the entrance of the gateway to the far end of its inner portico was fifty cubits.

15 從大門口到內廊前，共五十肘。

16 The gate chambers and their side pillars had beveled windows all around the inside of the gateway. The porticos also had windows all around on the inside. Each side pillar was decorated with palm trees.

16 衛房和門洞兩旁柱間並廊子，都有嚴緊的窗櫺；裏邊都有窗櫺，柱上有雕刻的棕樹。

17 Then he brought me into the outer court, and there were chambers and a pavement laid out all around the court. Thirty chambers faced the pavement,

17 他帶我到外院，見院的四圍有鋪石地；鋪石地上有屋子三十間。

18 which flanked the gateways and corresponded to the length of the gates; this was the lower pavement.

18 鋪石地，就是矮鋪石地在各門洞兩旁，以門洞的長短為度。

19 Then he measured the distance from the front of the lower gateway to the outside of the inner court; it was a hundred cubits on the east side as well as on the north.

19 他從下門量到內院外，共寬一百肘，東面北面都是如此。

20 He also measured the length and width of the gateway of the outer court facing north.

20 他量外院朝北的門，長寬若干。

21 Its three gate chambers on each side, its side pillars, and its portico all had the same measurements as the first gate: fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

21 門洞的衛房，這旁三間，那旁三間。門洞的柱子和廊子，與第一門的尺寸一樣。門洞長五十肘，寬二十五肘。

22 Its windows, portico, and palm trees had the same measurements as those of the gate facing east. Seven steps led up to it, with its portico opposite them.

22 其窗櫺和廊子，並雕刻的棕樹，與朝東的門尺寸一樣。登七層臺階上到這門，前面有廊子。

23 There was a gate to the inner court facing the north gate, just as there was on the east. He measured the distance from gateway to gateway to be a hundred cubits.

23 內院有門與這門相對，北面東面都是如此。他從這門量到那門，共一百肘。

24 Then he led me to the south side, and I saw a gateway facing south. He measured its side pillars and portico, and they had the same measurements as the others.

24 他帶我往南去，見朝南有門，又照先前的尺寸量門洞的柱子和廊子。

25 Both the gateway and its portico had windows all around, like the other windows. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

25 門洞兩旁與廊子的周圍都有窗櫺，和先量的窗櫺一樣。門洞長五十肘，寬二十五肘。

26 Seven steps led up to it, and its portico was opposite them; it had palm trees on its side pillars, one on each side.

26 登七層臺階上到這門，前面有廊子；柱上有雕刻的棕樹，這邊一棵，那邊一棵。

27 The inner court also had a gate facing south, and he measured the distance from gateway to gateway toward the south to be a hundred cubits.

27 內院朝南有門。從這門量到朝南的那門，共一百肘。

28 Next he brought me into the inner court through the south gate, and he measured the south gate; it had the same measurements as the others.

28 他帶我從南門到內院，就照先前的尺寸量南門。

29 Its gate chambers, side pillars, and portico had the same measurements as the others. Both the gateway and its portico had windows all around; it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

29 衛房和柱子，並廊子都照先前的尺寸。門洞兩旁與廊子的周圍都有窗櫺。門洞長五十肘，寬二十五肘。

30 (The porticoes around the inner court were twenty-five cubits long and five cubits deep.)

30 周圍有廊子，長二十五肘，寬五肘。

31 Its portico faced the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees. Eight steps led up to it.

31 廊子朝着外院，柱上有雕刻的棕樹。登八層臺階上到這門。

32 And he brought me to the inner court on the east side, and he measured the gateway; it had the same measurements as the others.

32 他帶我到內院的東面，就照先前的尺寸量東門。

33 Its gate chambers, side pillars, and portico had the same measurements as the others. Both the gateway and its portico had windows all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

33 衛房和柱子，並廊子都照先前的尺寸。門洞兩旁與廊子的周圍都有窗櫺。門洞長五十肘，寬二十五肘。

34 Its portico faced the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees on each side. Eight steps led up to it.

34 廊子朝着外院。門洞兩旁的柱子都有雕刻的棕樹。登八層臺階上到這門。

35 Then he brought me to the north gate and measured it. It had the same measurements as the others,

35 他帶我到北門，就照先前的尺寸量那門，

36 as did its gate chambers, side pillars, and portico. It also had windows all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

36 就是量衛房和柱子，並廊子。門洞周圍都有窗櫺；門洞長五十肘，寬二十五肘。

37 Its portico faced the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees on each side. Eight steps led up to it.

37 廊柱朝着外院。門洞兩旁的柱子都有雕刻的棕樹。登八層臺階上到這門。

38 There was a chamber with a doorway by the portico in each of the inner gateways. There the burnt offering was to be washed.

38 門洞的柱旁有屋子和門；祭司 在那裏洗燔祭牲。

39 Inside the portico of the gateway were two tables on each side, on which the burnt offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings were to be slaughtered.

39 在門廊內，這邊有兩張桌子，那邊有兩張桌子，在其上可以宰殺燔祭牲、贖罪祭牲，和贖愆祭牲。

40 Outside, as one goes up to the entrance of the north gateway, there were two tables on one side and two more tables on the other side of the gate’s portico.

40 上到朝北的門口，這邊有兩張桌子，門廊那邊也有兩張桌子。

41 So there were four tables inside the gateway and four outside—eight tables in all—on which the sacrifices were to be slaughtered.

41 門這邊有四張桌子，那邊有四張桌子，共八張；在其上祭司宰殺犧牲。

42 There were also four tables of dressed stone for the burnt offering, each a cubit and a half long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit high. On these were placed the utensils used to slaughter the burnt offerings and the other sacrifices.

42 為燔祭牲有四張桌子，是鑿過的石頭做成的，長一肘半，寬一肘半，高一肘。祭司將宰殺燔祭牲和平安祭牲所用的器皿放在其上。

43 The double-pronged hooks, each a handbreadth long, were fastened all around the inside of the room, and the flesh of the offering was to be placed on the tables.

43 有鉤子，寬一掌，釘在廊內的四圍。桌子上有犧牲的肉。

44 Outside the inner gate, within the inner court, were two chambers, one beside the north gate and facing south, and another beside the south gate and facing north.

44 在北門旁，內院裏有屋子，為歌唱的人而設。這屋子朝南；在南 門旁，又有一間朝北。

45 Then the man said to me: “The chamber that faces south is for the priests who keep charge of the temple,

45 他對我說：「這朝南的屋子是為看守殿宇的祭司；

46 and the chamber that faces north is for the priests who keep charge of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, the only Levites who may approach the LORD to minister before Him.”

46 那朝北的屋子是為看守祭壇的祭司。這些祭司是利未人中撒督的子孫，近前來事奉耶和華的。」

47 Next he measured the court. It was square, a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide. And the altar was in front of the temple.

47 他又量內院，長一百肘，寬一百肘，是見方的。祭壇在殿前。

48 Then he brought me to the portico of the temple and measured the side pillars of the portico to be five cubits on each side. The width of the gateway was fourteen cubits and its sidewalls were three cubits on either side.

48 於是他帶我到殿前的廊子，量廊子的牆柱。這面厚五肘，那面厚五肘。門兩旁，這邊三肘，那邊三肘。

49 The portico was twenty cubits wide and twelve cubits deep, and ten steps led up to it. There were columns by the side pillars, one on each side.

49 廊子長二十肘，寬十一肘。上廊子有臺階。靠近牆柱又有柱子，這邊一根，那邊一根。
