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 وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الْعَاشِرِ مِنْ مَطْلَعِ السَّنَةِ الْخَامِسَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ سَبْيِنَا الْمُوَافِقَةِ لِلسَّنَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ سُقُوطِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، كَانَتْ عَلَيَّ يَدُ الرَّبِّ فَأَحْضَرَنِي إِلَى هُنَاكَ،

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 وَأَتَى بِي فِي رُؤَى اللهِ إِلَى أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَوَضَعَنِي عَلَى جَبَلٍ شَاهِقٍ حَيْثُ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ جِهَةِ الْجَنُوبِ مَا يُشْبِهُ بِنَاءَ الْمَدِينَةِ.

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 فَنَقَلَنِي إِلَى هُنَاكَ، وَإذَا بِرَجُلٍ مَظْهَرُهُ كَمَظْهَرِ النُّحَاسِ يَحْمِلُ بِيَدِهِ خَيْطَ كَتَّانٍ وَقَصَبَةً وَهُوَ وَاقِفٌ بِالْبَابِ.

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 فَقَالَ لِي الرَّجُلُ: «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، انْظُرْ بِعَيْنَيْكَ وَأَصْغِ بِأُذُنَيْكَ وَانْتَبِهْ أَشَدَّ الانْتِبَاهِ إِلَى كُلِّ مَا أُطْلِعُكَ عَلَيْهِ، لأَنَّكَ لِهَذَا أُحْضِرْتَ إِلَى هُنَا. ثُمَّ أَبْلِغْ شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِكُلِّ مَا تَشْهَدُهُ».

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 وَإذَا بِسُورٍ قَائِمٍ خَارِجَ الْهَيْكَلِ مُحِيطٍ بِهِ. وَكَانَ طُولُ الْقَصَبَةِ الَّتِي فِي يَدِ الرَّجُلِ (نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ أَمْتَارٍ) فَشَرَعَ يَقِيسُ الْبِنَاءَ فَكَانَ كُلٌّ مِنْ عَرْضِهِ وَارْتِفَاعِهِ قَصَبَةً وَاحِدَةً (نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ أَمْتَارٍ).

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 ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ مِنَ الْبَابِ الْمُوَاجِهِ لِلشَّرْقِ وَارْتَقَى دَرَجَهُ وَقَاسَ عَتَبَةَ الْبَابِ، فَكَانَ عَرْضُهَا قَصَبَةً وَاحِدَةً (نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ أَمْتَارٍ)، كَمَا كَانَ عَرْضُ الْعَتَبَةِ الأُخْرَى قَصَبَةً وَاحِدَةً

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 وَقَاسَ كَذَلِكَ الْحُجُرَاتِ الْجَانِبِيَّةَ فَكَانَ طُولُ وَعَرْضُ كُلٍّ مِنْهَا قَصَبَةً وَاحِدَةً، وَبَيْنَ كُلِّ حُجْرَةٍ وَحُجْرَةٍ خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ) وَكَانَ عَرْضُ عَتَبَةِ الْبَابِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ بِجَانِبِ رُوَاقِ الْبَابِ قَصَبَةً وَاحِدَةً.

8 Then he measured the portico of the gateway inside;

8 ثُمَّ قَاسَ رُوَاقَ الْبَابِ مِنْ دَاخِلٍ فَكَانَ قَصَبَةً وَاحِدَةً،

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

9 وَقَاسَ أَيْضاً رُوَاقَ الْبَابِ مَعَ عَضَائِدِهِ فَكَانَتْ بِجُمْلَتِهَا عَشَرَ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ أَمْتَارٍ). وَكَانَ رِوَاقُ الْبَابِ هَذَا مِنَ الدَّاخِلِ بِاتِّجَاهِ الْهَيْكَلِ.

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 وَكَانَتْ حُجُرَاتُ الْحُرَّاسِ عِنْدَ الْبَابِ سِتّاً، ثَلاثاً عَلَى كُلِّ جَانِبٍ، وَكُلُّهَا ذَاتُ قِيَاسٍ وَاحِدٍ هِيَ وَعَضَائِدُهَا.

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

11 ثُمَّ قَاسَ عَرْضَ مَدْخَلِ الْبَابِ فَكَانَ عَشَرَ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ أَمْتَارٍ) وَطُولُهُ ثَلاثَ عَشْرَةَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ سِتَّةِ أَمْتَارٍ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ).

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

12 أَمَّا الْحَافَّةُ الَّتِي أَمَامَ الْحُجُرَاتِ فَكَانَتْ ذِرَاعاً وَاحِدَةً (نَحْوَ نِصْفِ مِتْرٍ) فِي كُلِّ جَانِبٍ. وَكَانَ طُولُ كُلِّ حُجْرَةٍ مِنْ حُجُرَاتِ الْحُرَّاسِ وَعَرْضُهَا سِتَ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ أَمْتَارٍ).

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 ثُمَّ قَاسَ الْبَابَ مِنْ سَقْفِ الْحَائِطِ الْخَلْفِيِّ لِلْحُجْرَةِ إِلَى سَقْفِ الْحَائِطِ الْخَلْفِيِّ لِلْحُجْرَةِ الْمُقَابِلَةِ، فَكَانَتِ الْمَسَافَةُ بَيْنَهَا خَمْساً وَعِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ اثْنَي عَشَرَ مِتْراً وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)، الْبَابُ مُقَابِلُ الْبَابِ.

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

14 وَكَانَ طُولُ مُحِيطِ الْعَضَائِدِ الْقَائِمَةِ حَوْلَ مَمَرِّ الْمَدْخَلِ الدَّاخِلِيِّ سِتِّينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ ثَلاثِينَ مِتْراً).

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

15 كَمَا كَانَتِ الْمَسَافَةُ بَيْنَ حَافَّةِ بَابِ الْمَدْخَلِ وَحَافَّةِ بَابِ الرُّوَاقِ الدَّاخِلِيِّ خَمْسِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِتْراً).

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 وَلِحُجُرَاتِ الْمَدْخَلِ وَجُدْرَانِهِ وَالرُّوَاقِ كُوىً مُشَبَّكَةٌ دَاخِلِيَّةٌ مُحِيطَةٌ بِها جَمِيعاً، كَمَا حُفِرَ عَلَى الْعَضَادَةِ رَسْمُ شَجَرَةِ نَخِيلٍ.

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 ثُمَّ أَخَذَنِي إِلَى السَّاحَةِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ، وَإذَا بِمَخَادِعَ وَرَصِيفٍ مُحِيطٍ بِالسَّاحَةِ شُيِّدَ عَلَيْهِ ثَلاثُونَ مُخْدَعاً.

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

18 وَكَانَ الرَّصِيفُ مُمْتَدّاً عَلَى جَوَانِبِ الْبَوَّابَاتِ، وَعَرْضُهُ مُمَاثِلٌ لِطُولِ الْبَوَّابَاتِ. هَذَا هُوَ الرَّصِيفُ الأَسْفَلُ.

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 وَقَامَ الْمَلاكُ بِقِيَاسِ الْعَرْضِ مِنْ أَمَامِ الْبَابِ الأَسْفَلِ إِلَى أَمَامِ السَّاحَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ مِنَ الْخَارِجِ، فَكَانَتِ الْمَسَافَةُ مِئَةَ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسِينَ مِتْراً) إِلَى الشَّرْقِ وَإِلَى الشِّمَالِ.

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

20 ثُمَّ قَاسَ طُولَ وَعَرْضَ بَابِ السَّاحَةِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ الْمُتَّجِهِ نَحْوَ الشِّمَالِ،

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 وَكَذَلِكَ حُجُرَاتِهِ الْمُتَقَابِلَةَ، ثَلاثاً مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ، وَعَضَائِدَهُ وَرُوَاقَهُ، فَكَانَتْ مَقَايِيسُهَا مُمَاثِلَةً لِمَقَايِيسِ الأَوَّلِ. طُولُهَا خَمْسُونَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِتْراً)، وَعَرْضُهَا خَمْسٌ وَعِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ مِتْراً وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ).

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 كَمَا كَانَتْ كُوَاهُ وَأَرْوِقَتُهُ وَنَخِيلُهُ مُمَاثِلَةً فِي قِيَاسِهَا لِقِيَاسِ الْبَابِ نَحْوَ الشَّرْقِ. وَكَانَتْ لَهُ سَبْعُ دَرَجَاتٍ يَصْعَدُونَ عَلَيْهَا لِلْوُصُولِ إِلَيْهِ. وَانْتَصَبَتْ أَمَامَهُ أَقْوَاسُ أَرْوِقَتِهِ.

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 وَلِلسَّاحَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ بَابٌ مُقَابِلٌ لِبَابِ الشِّمَالِ، وَآخَرُ مُقَابِلٌ لِبَابِ الشَّرْقِ. وَقَاسَ الْمَسَافَةَ مِنْ بَابٍ إِلَى بَابٍ، وَإذَا بِها مِئَةُ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسِينَ مِتْراً).

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 ثُمَّ أَخَذَنِي نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ، وَإذَا هُنَاكَ بَابٌ مُتَّجِهٌ نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ، فَقَاسَ عَضَائِدَهُ وَأَرْوِقَتَهُ فَكَانَتْ مُمَاثِلَةً لِلأَقْيِسَةِ السَّابِقَةِ.

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 وَكَانَ فِي مَدْخَلِهِ وَأَرْوِقَتِهِ كُوىً تُحِيطُ بِها مُمَاثِلَةٌ لِكُوَى الْمَدْخَلَيْنِ الآخَرَيْنِ. وَكَانَ طُولُهُ خَمْسِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِتْراً) وَعَرْضُهُ خَمْساً وَعِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ مِتْراً وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ).

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 وَكَانَتْ لَهُ سَبْعُ دَرَجَاتٍ يَصْعَدُونَ عَلَيْهَا لِلْوُصُولِ إِلَيْهِ. وَانْتَصَبَتْ أَمَامَهُ أَقْوَاسُ أَرْوِقَتِهِ، وَنُقِشَتْ عَلَى عَضَائِدِهِ شَجَرَتَا نَخِيلٍ كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْ جَانِبٍ.

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 وَلِلسَّاحَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ بَابٌ مُتَّجِهٌ نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ. وَقَاسَ الْمَسَافَةَ مِنَ الْبَابِ إِلَى الْبَابِ وَإذَا بِها مِئَةُ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسِينَ مِتْراً) بِاتِّجَاهِ الْجَنُوبِ.

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 ثُمَّ أَحْضَرَنِي إِلَى السَّاحَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ مِنْ بَابِ الْجَنُوبِ، وَقَاسَ الْبَابَ، فَكَانَتْ مَقَايِيسُهُ مُمَاثِلَةً لِمَقَايِيسِ الْبَابَيْنِ الآخَرَيْنِ،

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 وَكَذَلِكَ مَقَايِيسُ حُجُرَاتِهِ وَعَضَائِدِهِ وَأَرْوِقَتِهِ. كَمَا كَانَ لَهُ وَلأَرْوِقَتِهِ عَلَى امْتِدَادِ مُحِيطِهَا كُوىً. أَمَّا طُولُهُ فَكَانَ خَمْسِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِتْراً) وَعَرْضُهُ خَمْساً وَعِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ مِتْراً وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)

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

30 وَكَانَ عَلَى مُحِيطِهِ أَرْوِقَةٌ طُولُهَا خَمْسٌ وَعِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ مِتْراً وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)، وَعَرْضُهَا خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَينِ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ).

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

31 وَكَانَتْ أَرْوِقَتُهُ الْمُقَبَّبَةُ مُوَاجِهَةً لِلسَّاحَةِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ، وَقَدْ نُقِشَتْ عَلَى عَضَائِدِهَا أَشْجَارُ نَخِيلٍ، وَلَهُ ثَمَانِي دَرَجَاتٍ تُفْضِي إِلَيْهِ.

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 وَأَتَى بِي إِلَى السَّاحَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ الْمُتَّجِهَةِ نَحْوَ الشَّرْقِ وَقَاسَ الْبَابَ، فَكَانَتْ قِيَاسَاتُهُ مُمَاثِلَةً لِلْمَقَايِيسِ الأُخْرَى.

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 وَكَذَلِكَ مَقَايِيسُ حُجُرَاتِهِ وَعَضَائِدِهِ وَأَرْوِقَتِهِ. كَمَا كَانَ لَهُ وَلأَرْوِقَتِهِ كُوىً عَلَى طُولِ مُحِيطِهَا. أَمَّا طُولُهُ فَكَانَ خَمْسِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِتْراً)، وَعَرْضُهُ خَمْساً وَعِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ مِتْراً وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)

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 وَكَانَتْ أَرْوِقَتُهُ الْمُقَبَّبَةُ مُوَاجِهَةً لِلسَّاحَةِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ، وَقَدْ نُقِشَتْ عَلَى عَضَائِدِهَ أَشْجَارُ نَخِيلٍ، وَلَهُ ثَمَانِي دَرَجَاتٍ تُفْضِي إِلَيْهِ.

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

35 ثُمَّ أَخَذَنَي إِلَى بَابِ الشِّمَالِ وَقَاسَهُ، فَكَانَتْ مَقَايِيسُهُ مُمَاثِلَةً لِلْمَقَايِيسِ الأُخْرَى.

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 وَكَذَلِكَ مَقَايِيسُ حُجُرَاتِهِ وَعَضَائِدِهِ وَأَرْوِقَتِهِ وَالْكُوَى الَّتِي عَلَى مُحِيطِهِ. أَمَّا طُولُهُ فَكَانَ خَمْسِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِتْراً)، وَعَرْضُهُ خَمْساً وَعِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ مِتْراً وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ).

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 وَكَانَتْ أَرْوِقَتُهُ الْمُقَبَّبَةُ مُوَاجِهَةً لِلسَّاحَةِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ، وَقَدْ نُقِشَتْ عَلَى عَضَائِدِهَا أَشْجَارُ نَخِيلٍ، وَلَهُ ثَمَانِي دَرَجَاتٍ تُفْضِي إِلَيْهِ.

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 وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ مُخْدَعٌ مُلْحَقٌ بِهِ مَعَ بَابِهِ، مُجَاوِرٌ لِعَضَائِدِ الأَبْوَابِ، حَيْثُ كَانَتْ تُغْسَلُ ذَبِيحَةُ الْمُحْرَقَةِ.

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 وَكَانَ عَلَى كُلِّ جَانِبٍ مِنْ جَانِبَيِ الرُّوَاقِ مَائِدَتَانِ تُذْبَحُ عَلَيْهِمَا الْمُحْرَقَةُ وَذَبِيحَةُ الْخَطِيئَةِ وَذَبِيحَةُ الإِثْمِ،

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 كَمَا كَانَ فِي الْجَانِبِ الْخَارِجِيِّ عِنْدَ الدَّرَجَاتِ الْمُفْضِيَةِ إِلَى بَابِ الشِّمَالِ مَائِدَتَانِ، وَفِي الْجَانِبِ الآخَرِ عِنْدَ رُوَاقِ الْبَابِ مَائِدَتَانِ أُخْرَيَانِ،

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 أَيْ أَرْبَعُ مَوَائِدَ فِي كُلِّ جَانِبٍ. فَتَكُونُ فِي جُمْلَتِهَا ثَمَانِي مَوَائِدَ تُذْبَحُ عَلَيْهَا الْقَرَابِينُ.

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 وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ أَيْضاً أَرْبَعُ مَوَائِدَ أُخْرَى مُرَبَّعَةِ الشَّكْلِ، مَصْنُوعَةٍ مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ مَنْحُوتَةٍ، طُولُ وَعَرْضُ كُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهَا ذِرَاعٌ وَنِصْفٌ (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَسَبْعِينَ سَنْتِيمِتْراً) وَارْتِفَاعُهَا ذِرَاعٌ وَاحِدَةٌ (نَحْوَ خَمْسِينَ سَنْتِيمِتْراً) كَانُوا يَضَعُونَ عَلَيْهَا الأَدَوَاتِ الْمُسْتَخْدَمَةَ فِي ذَبْحِ الْمُحْرَقَاتِ وَسَائِرِ الذَّبَائِحِ.

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 وَلَهَا كَلَّابَاتٌ مُزْدَوَجَةٌ طُولُهَا شِبْرٌ مَعْقُوفَةٌ مُثَبَّتَةٌ حَوْلَ مُحِيطِهَا. وَكَانَ عَلَى الْمَوَائِدِ لَحْمُ الْقَرَابِينِ.

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 وَأُقِيمَ خَارِجَ الْبَابِ الدَّاخِلِيِّ مُخْدَعَانِ فِي السَّاحَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ، أَحَدُهُمَا مُجَاوِرٌ لِبَابِ الشِّمَالِ بِاتِّجَاهِ الْجَنُوبِ، وَالآخَرُ مُجَاوِرٌ لِلْبَابِ الْجَنُوبِيِّ بِاتِّجَاهِ الشِّمَالِ.

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

45 وَقَالَ لِي الْمَلاكُ: «هَذَا الْمُخْدَعُ الْمُتَّجِهُ نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ هُوَ لِلْكَهَنَةِ الَّذِينَ يَحْرُسُونَ الْهَيْكَلَ.

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 وَالْمُخْدَعُ الْمُتَّجِهُ نَحْوَ الشِّمَالِ هُوَ لِلْكَهَنَةِ الَّذِينَ يَحْرُسُونَ الْمَذْبَحَ، وَهُمْ أَبْنَاءُ صَادُوقَ، الَّذِينَ وَحْدَهُمْ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ لاوِي يَحِقُّ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَقْتَرِبُوا مِنَ الرَّبِّ لِيَخْدِمُوهُ».

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 ثُمَّ قَاسَ السَّاحَةَ فَكَانَتْ مُرَبَّعَةً طُولُهَا وَعَرْضُهَا مِئَةُ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسِينَ مِتْراً) وَالْمَذْبَحُ قَائِمٌ أَمَامَ الْهَيْكَلِ.

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 وَأَحْضَرَنِي إِلَى رُوَاقِ الْهَيْكَلِ وَقَاسَ سُمْكَ عَضَادَتَيْهِ مِنْ كُلٍّ مِنْ جَانِبَيْهِ، فَكَانَ خَمْسَ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ) لِكُلِّ عَضَادَةٍ وَعَرْضُ الْبَابِ ثَلاثَ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)

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 وَكَانَ طُولُ الرُّوَاقِ عِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ عَشَرَةِ أَمْتَارٍ) وَعَرْضُهُ إِحْدَى عَشَرَةَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ أَمْتَارٍ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ) عِنْدَ الدَّرَجَاتِ الَّتِي تُؤَدِّي إِلَيْهِ، كَمَا نُصِبَ عِنْدَ الْعَضَائِدِ عَمُودَانِ وَاحِدٌ عَنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ.
