Ezekiel 42

1 Then the man led me out northward into the outer court, and he brought me to the group of chambers opposite the temple courtyard and the outer wall on the north side.

1 ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَنِي إِلَى السَّاحَةِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ مِنَ الطَّرِيقِ الْمُتَّجِهَةِ شِمَالاً، وَأَدْخَلَنِي إِلَى الْمَخَادِعِ الْمُوَاجِهَةِ لِلسَّاحَةِ الْمُنْفَصِلَةِ مُقَابِلَ الْبِنَاءِ الشِّمَالِيِّ.

2 The building with the door facing north was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide.

2 وَكَانَ طُولُ الْبِنَاءِ ذِي الْبَابِ الْمُشْرَعِ شِمَالاً مِئَةَ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسِينَ مِتْراً) وَعَرْضُهُ خَمْسِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِتْراً).

3 Gallery faced gallery in three levels opposite the twenty cubits that belonged to the inner court and opposite the pavement that belonged to the outer court.

3 وَمُقَابِلَ السَّاحَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ الَّتِي طُولُهَا عِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ عَشَرَةِ أَمْتَارٍ) وَمُقَابِلَ رَصِيفِ السَّاحَةِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ أَرْوِقَةٌ مُتَقَابِلَةٌ قَائِمَةٌ فِي ثَلاثِ طَبَقَاتٍ.

4 In front of the chambers was an inner walkway ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long. Their doors were on the north.

4 وَأَمَامَ الْمَخَادِعِ مَمَرٌّ عَرْضُهُ عَشْرُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةِ أَمْتَارٍ) وَطُولُهُ مِئَةُ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسِينَ مِتْراً) وَأَبْوَابُهُ مُشْرَعَةٌ نَحْوَ الشِّمَالِ.

5 Now the upper chambers were smaller because the galleries took more space from the chambers on the lower and middle floors of the building.

5 وَكَانَتِ الْمَخَادِعُ الْعُلْيَا أَضْيَقَ مِنْ مَخَادِعِ الطَّابِقَيْنِ الآخَرَيْنِ لأَنَّ الأَعْمِدَةَ شَغَلَتْ جُزْءاً مِنْهَا.

6 For they were arranged in three stories, and unlike the courts, they had no pillars. So the upper chambers were set back further than the lower and middle floors.

6 لأَنَّ الْمَخَادِعَ مُؤَلَّفَةٌ مِنْ ثَلاثِ طَبَقَاتٍ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهَا أَعْمِدَةٌ كَأَعْمِدَةِ السَّاحَاتِ. لِذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ الْمَخَادِعَ الْعُلْيَا كَانَتْ أَضْيَقَ مِنْ مَخَادِعِ الطَّابِقَيْنِ الآخَرَيْنِ: الأَسْفَلِ وَالأَوْسَطِ

7 An outer wall in front of the chambers was fifty cubits long and ran parallel to the chambers and the outer court.

7 وَكَانَ طُولُ الْجِدَارِ الْخَارِجِيِّ الْمُوَازِي لامْتِدَادِ الْمَخَادِعِ، بِاتِّجَاهِ السَّاحَةِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ، خَمْسِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِتْراً)،

8 For the chambers on the outer court were fifty cubits long, while those facing the temple were a hundred cubits long.

8 لأَنَّ طُولَ امْتِدَادِ الْمَخَادِعِ فِي السَّاحَةِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ خَمْسُونَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِتْراً)، بَيْنَمَا طُولُ امْتِدَادِ الْمَخَادِعِ الْمُوَاجِهَةِ لِلْهَيْكَلِ مِئَةُ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسِينَ مِتْراً)

9 And below these chambers was the entrance on the east side as one enters them from the outer court.

9 وَأُقِيمَ تَحْتَ هَذِهِ الْمَخَادِعِ مَدْخَلٌ فِي الْجِهَةِ الشَّرْقِيَّةِ يُفْضِي إِلَى الْمَخَادِعِ مِنَ السَّاحَةِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ.

10 On the south side along the length of the wall of the outer court were chambers adjoining the courtyard and opposite the building,

10 وَفِي عَرْضِ جِدَارِ الدَّارِ نَحْوَ الشَّرْقِ كَانَتْ هُنَاكَ مَخَادِعُ قَائِمَةٌ فِي الشِّمَالِ، فِي مُوَاجَهَةِ السَّاحَةِ، مُقَابِلَ الْبِنَاءِ.

11 with a passageway in front of them, just like the chambers that were on the north. They had the same length and width, with similar exits and dimensions.

11 وَأَمَامَهَا مَمَرٌّ. وَكَانَتْ مُمَاثِلَةً فِي طُولِهَا وَعَرْضِهَا وَجَمِيعِ مَخَارِجِهَا وَأَشْكَالِهَا وَأَبْوَابِهَا لِلْمَخَادِعِ الَّتِي نَحْوَ الشِّمَالِ.

12 And corresponding to the doors of the chambers that were facing south, there was a door in front of the walkway that was parallel to the wall extending eastward.

12 وَكَانَ تَحْتَ الْمَخَادِعِ الْمُتَّجِهَةِ نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ مَدْخَلٌ شَرْقِيٌّ يُفْضِي إِلَى الْمَمَرِّ الْمُؤَدِّي إِلَيْهَا، وَفِي مُوَاجَهَتِهَا جِدَارٌ فَاصِلٌ.

13 Then the man said to me, “The north and south chambers facing the temple courtyard are the holy chambers where the priests who approach the LORD will eat the most holy offerings. There they will place the most holy offerings—the grain offerings, the sin offerings, and the guilt offerings—for the place is holy.

13 ثُمَّ قَالَ لِيَ الْمَلاكُ: «إِنَّ الْمَخَادِعَ الشِّمَالِيَّةَ وَالْمَخَادِعَ الْجَنُوبِيَّةَ الْمُقَابِلَةَ لِلسَّاحَةِ مَخَادِعُ مُقَدَّسَةٌ، حَيْثُ يَأْكُلُ الْكَهَنَةُ الَّذِينَ يُقَرِّبُونَ فِي خِدْمَتِهِمْ إِلَى الرَّبِّ أَقْدَاسَ الْقَرَابِينِ. هُنَاكَ يَضَعُونَ أَقْدَاسَ الْقَرَابِينِ وَتَقْدِمَةَ الْحُبُوبِ، وَذَبِيحَةَ الْخَطِيَّةِ، وَذَبِيحَةَ الإِثْمِ لأَنَّ الْمَكَانَ مُقَدَّسٌ.

14 Once the priests have entered the holy area, they must not go out into the outer court until they have left behind the garments in which they minister, for these are holy. They are to put on other clothes before they approach the places that are for the people.”

14 وَعَلَى الْكَهَنَةِ بَعْدَ دُخُولِهِمْ إِلَيْهَا أَنْ لَا يَخْرُجُوا إِلَى السَّاحَةِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ إِلّا بَعْدَ أَنْ يَخْلَعُوا ثِيَابَهُمُ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ الَّتِي يَخْدُمُونَ بِها، وَيَرْتَدُونَ ثِيَاباً غَيْرَهَا. ثُمَّ يَذْهَبُونَ إِلَى حَيْثُ يَجْتَمِعُ الشَّعْبُ».

15 Now when the man had finished measuring the interior of the temple area, he led me out by the gate that faced east, and he measured the area all around:

15 وَعِنْدَمَا انْتَهَى مِنْ قِيَاسِ الْهَيْكَلِ الدَّاخِلِيِّ أَخْرَجَنِي إِلَى الْبَابِ الشَّرْقِيِّ، وَقَاسَ مِنْطَقَةَ الْهَيْكَلِ الْمُحِيطَةَ بِهِ.

16 With a measuring rod he measured the east side to be five hundred cubits long.

16 فَقَاسَ الْجَانِبَ الشَّرْقِيَّ بِقَصَبَةِ الْقِيَاسِ فَكَانَ خَمْسَ مِئَةِ قَصَبَةٍ (نَحْوَ أَلْفٍ وَخَمْسِ مِئَةِ مِتْرٍ).

17 He measured the north side to be five hundred cubits long.

17 ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلَ إِلَى الْجَانِبِ الشِّمَالِيِّ فَقَاسَهُ، فَكَانَ خَمْسَ مِئَةِ قَصَبَةٍ (نَحْوَ أَلْفٍ وَخَمْسِ مِئَةِ مِتْرٍ).

18 He measured the south side to be five hundred cubits long.

18 وَقَاسَ الْجَانِبَ الْجَنُوبِيَّ فَكَانَ خَمْسَ مِئَةِ قَصَبَةٍ (نَحْوَ أَلْفٍ وَخَمْسِ مِئَةِ مِتْرٍ).

19 And he came around and measured the west side to be five hundred cubits long.

19 وَكَذَلِكَ قَاسَ الْجَانِبَ الْغَرْبِيَّ فَكَانَ خَمْسَ مِئَةِ قَصَبَةٍ (نَحْوَ أَلْفٍ وَخَمْسِ مِئَةِ مِتْرٍ).

20 So he measured the area on all four sides. It had a wall all around, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits wide, to separate the holy from the common.

20 وَهَكَذَا أَتَمَّ قِيَاسَ مُحِيطِ جَوَانِبِهِ الأَرْبَعَةِ وَكَانَ لَهُ سُورٌ مُرَبَّعٌ طُولُهُ خَمْسُ مِئَةِ قَصَبَةٍ (نَحْوَ أَلْفٍ وَخَمْسِ مِئَةِ مِتْرٍ)، وَكَذَلِكَ عَرْضُهُ، لِيَفْصِلَ بَيْنَ الْمَوْضِعِ الْمُقَدَّسِ وَالْمَوَاضِعِ الْعَامَّةِ.
