Ezekiel 43

1 Then the man brought me back to the gate that faces east,

1 ثُمَّ أَحْضَرَنِي إِلَى الْبَابِ الْمُتَّجِهِ نَحْوَ الشَّرْقِ،

2 and I saw the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east. His voice was like the roar of many waters, and the earth shone with His glory.

2 وَإذَا بِمَجْدِ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مُقْبِلٌ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ، وَصَوْتُهُ كَهَدِيرِ تَدَفُّقِ مِيَاهٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، فَأَضَاءَتِ الأَرْضُ مِنْ مَجْدِهِ.

3 The vision I saw was like the vision I had seen when He came to destroy the city and like the visions I had seen by the River Kebar. I fell facedown,

3 وَكَانَتِ الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي شَاهَدْتُهَا مُمَاثِلَةً لِلرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي تَجَلَّتْ لِي عِنْدَمَا جَاءَ الرَّبُّ لِتَدْمِيرِ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَكَالرُّؤَى الَّتِي شَاهَدْتُهَا عِنْدَ نَهْرِ خَابُورَ. فَانْطَرَحْتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي،

4 and the glory of the LORD entered the temple through the gate facing east.

4 وَعَبَرَ مَجْدُ الرَّبِّ إِلَى الْهَيْكَلِ مِنَ الْبَابِ الْمُتَّجِهِ نَحْوَ طَرِيقِ الشَّرْقِ،

5 Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple.

5 فَنَقَلَنِي الرُّوحُ إِلَى السَّاحَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ، وَإذَا بِمَجْدِ الرَّبِّ قَدْ غَمَرَ الْهَيْكَلَ،

6 While the man was standing beside me, I heard someone speaking to me from inside the temple,

6 وَالْمَلاكُ مَازَالَ وَاقِفاً إِلَى جُوَارِي، فَسَمِعْتُ مَنْ يُخَاطِبُنِي مِنَ الْهَيْكَلِ،

7 and He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place for the soles of My feet, where I will dwell among the Israelites forever. The house of Israel will never again defile My holy name—neither they nor their kings—by their prostitution and by the funeral offerings for their kings at their deaths.

7 يَقُولُ لِي: يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، هَذَا مَقَرُّ عَرْشِي وَمُسْتَقَرُّ بَاطِنِ قَدَمَيَّ، حَيْثُ أُقِيمُ بَيْنَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. وَلَنْ يُنَجِّسَ شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلا مُلُوكُهُمْ بَعْدُ اسْمِي الْقُدُّوسَ بِمَا يَرْتَكِبُونَهُ مِنْ زِنىً، وَدَفْنِ جُثَثِ مُلُوكِهِمْ فِي مُرْتَفَعَاتِهِمْ،

8 When they placed their threshold next to My threshold and their doorposts beside My doorposts, with only a wall between Me and them, they defiled My holy name by the abominations they committed. Therefore I have consumed them in My anger.

8 إِذْ شَيَّدُوا عَتَبَاتِ مَعَابِدِ آلِهَتِهِمْ إِلَى جُوَارِ عَتَبَتِي، وَقَوَائِمَهَا إِلَى جُوَارِ قَوَائِمِ هَيْكَلِي، لَا يَفْصِلُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ سِوَى حَائِطٍ. وَهَكَذَا دَنَّسُوا اسْمِي الْقُدُّوسَ بِرَجَاسَاتِهِمِ الَّتِي ارْتَكَبُوهَا، فَأَفْنَيْتُهُمْ فِي حَنَقِي.

9 Now let them remove far from Me their prostitution and the funeral offerings for their kings, and I will dwell among them forever.

9 فَلْيُبْعِدُوا عَنِّي زِنَاهُمْ وَجُثَثَ مُلُوكِهِمْ، فَأُقِيمَ بَيْنَهُمْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

10 As for you, son of man, describe the temple to the people of Israel, so that they may be ashamed of their iniquities. Let them measure the plan,

10 أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ فَصِفْ لِشَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الْهَيْكَلَ وَمَقَايِيسَ تَصْمِيمِهِ وَرَسْمِهِ لِيَخْجَلُوا مِنْ آثَامِهِمْ،

11 and if they are ashamed of all they have done, then make known to them the design of the temple—its arrangement and its exits and entrances—its whole design along with all its statutes, forms, and laws. Write it down in their sight, so that they may keep its complete design and all its statutes and may carry them out.

11 فَإِنِ اعْتَرَاهُمُ الْخِزْيُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَا اقْتَرَفُوهُ مِنْ رِجْسٍ، فَأَطْلِعْهُمْ عَلَى تَصَامِيمِ الْهَيْكَلِ وَرَسْمِهِ وَتَفَاصِيلِ مَخَارِجِهِ وَمَدَاخِلِهِ وَأَشْكَالِهِ وَكُلِّ فَرَائِضِهِ وَشَرَائِعِهِ. وَدَوِّنْ ذَلِكَ أَمَامَهُمْ، لِيَحْفَظُوا جَمِيعَ شَرَائِعِهِ وَأَحْكَامِهِ وَيُمَارِسُوهَا.

12 This is the law of the temple: All its surrounding territory on top of the mountain will be most holy. Yes, this is the law of the temple.

12 وَهَذِهِ هِيَ شَرِيعَةُ الْهَيْكَلِ: إِنَّ رَأْسَ الْجَبَلِ وَكُلَّ الْمِنْطَقَةِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِهِ، هِيَ قُدْسُ أَقْدَاسٍ.

13 These are the measurements of the altar in long cubits (a cubit and a handbreadth): Its gutter shall be a cubit deep and a cubit wide, with a rim of one span around its edge. And this is the height of the altar:

13 وَهَذِهِ هِيَ مَقَايِيسُ الْمَذْبَحِ بِالأَذْرُعِ (وَالأَمْتَارِ): ارْتِفَاعُ الْقَاعِدَةِ ذِرَاعٌ (نَحْوَ نِصْفِ مِتْرٍ)، وَعَرْضُهَا ذِرَاعٌ (نَحْوَ نِصْفِ مِتْرٍ)، وَارْتِفَاعُ حَافَّتِهَا نَحْوَ شِبْرٍ وَاحِدٍ.

14 The space from the gutter on the ground to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the ledge one cubit wide. The space from the smaller ledge to the larger ledge shall be four cubits, and the ledge one cubit wide.

14 وَمِنْ قَاعِدَةِ الْمَذْبَحِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ إِلَى الْحَافَّةِ الْعُلْيَا لِلرَّفِّ الأَسْفَلِ ذِرَاعَانِ (نَحْوَ مِتْرٍ)، وَالْعَرْضُ ذِرَاعٌ (نَحْوَ نِصْفِ مِتْرٍ)، وَمِنَ الرَّفِّ الأَسْفَلِ إِلَى الرَّفِّ الأَوْسَطِ أَرْبَعُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ). وَالْعَرْضُ ذِرَاعٌ (نَحْوَ نِصْفِ مِتْرٍ).

15 The altar hearth shall be four cubits high, and four horns shall project upward from the hearth.

15 أَمَّا ارْتِفَاعُ مَوْقِدِ الْمَذْبَحِ فَأَرْبَعُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ) وَتَمْتَدُّ مِنْ زَوَايَا الْمَوْقِدِ إِلَى فَوْقُ أَرْبَعَةُ قُرُونٍ.

16 The altar hearth shall be square at its four corners, twelve cubits long and twelve cubits wide.

16 وَكَانَ الْمَوْقِدُ نَفْسُهُ مُرَبَّعاً طُولُهُ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ سِتَّةِ أَمْتَارٍ)، وَكَذَلِكَ عَرْضُهُ

17 The ledge shall also be square, fourteen cubits long and fourteen cubits wide, with a rim of half a cubit and a gutter of a cubit all around it. The steps of the altar shall face east.”

17 أَمَّا رَفُّ الْمَوْقِدِ فَكَانَ مُرَبَّعاً أَيْضاً، طُولُهُ أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ سَبْعَةِ أَمْتَارٍ)، وَكَذَلِكَ عَرْضُهُ. وَلَهُ حَافَّةٌ عَرْضُهَا نِصْفُ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ رُبْعِ الْمِتْرِ)، وَقَاعِدَتُهَا ذِرَاعٌ (نَحْوَ نِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)، وَتُوَاجِهُ دَرَجَاتُ الْمَذْبَحِ الشَّرْقَ.

18 Then He said to me: “Son of man, this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘These are the statutes for the altar on the day it is constructed, so that burnt offerings may be sacrificed on it and blood may be splattered on it:

18 وَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هَذِهِ هِيَ مَرَاسِيمُ الْمَذْبَحِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي يُنْصَبُ فِيهِ لِتَقْرِيبِ الْمُحْرَقَاتِ وَرَشِّ الدَّمِ عَلَيْهِ:

19 You are to give a young bull from the herd as a sin offering to the Levitical priests who are of the family of Zadok, who approach Me to minister before Me, declares the Lord GOD.

19 تُقَدِّمُ ثَوْراً لِذَبِيحَةِ خَطِيئَةٍ لِلْكَهَنَةِ اللّاوِيِّينَ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ هَرُونَ الْمُقْتَرِبِينَ إِلَّيَّ لِيَخْدِمُونِي يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

20 You are to take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar, on the four corners of the ledge, and all around the rim; thus you will cleanse the altar and make atonement for it.

20 وَتَأْخُذُ مِنْ دَمِهِ وَتَضَعُ مِنْهُ عَلَى قُرُونِ الْمَذْبَحِ الأَرْبَعَةِ، وَعَلَى زَوَايَا الرَّفِّ وَعَلَى مُحِيطِ حَافَّتِهِ، فَتُطَهِّرُهُ وَتُكَفِّرُ عَنْهُ.

21 Then you are to take away the bull for the sin offering and burn it in the appointed part of the temple area outside the sanctuary.

21 وَتأْخُذُ ثَوْرَ الْخَطِيئَةِ إِلَى حَيْثُ يُحْرَقُ فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الْمُعَيَّنِ مِنَ الْهَيْكَلِ خَارِجَ الْمَقْدِسِ.

22 On the second day you are to present an unblemished male goat as a sin offering, and the altar is to be cleansed as it was with the bull.

22 وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّانِي تُقَرِّبُ تَيْساً مِنَ الْمَعْزِ سَلِيماً ذَبِيحَةَ خَطِيئَةٍ، فَيَتِمُّ تَطْهِيرُ الْمَذْبَحِ كَمَا طَهَّرُوهُ بِدَمِ الثَّوْرِ.

23 When you have finished the purification, you are to present a young, unblemished bull and an unblemished ram from the flock.

23 وَعِنْدَمَا يَكْتَمِلُ مَرْسُومُ التَّطْهِيرِ تُقَرِّبُ ثَوْراً وَكَبْشاً سَلِيمَيْنِ.

24 You must present them before the LORD; the priests are to sprinkle salt on them and sacrifice them as a burnt offering to the LORD.

24 تُقَرِّبُهُمَا فِي مَحْضَرِ الرَّبِّ، وَيَرُشُّ عَلَيْهِمَا الْكَهَنَةُ مِلْحاً، وَيُصْعِدُونَهُمَا مُحْرَقَةً لِلرَّبِّ.

25 For seven days you are to provide a male goat daily for a sin offering; you are also to provide a young bull and a ram from the flock, both unblemished.

25 وَتُقَرِّبُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ وَلِمُدَّةِ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ تَيْسَ خَطِيئَةٍ وَثَوْراً وَكَبْشاً سَلِيمَيْنِ.

26 For seven days the priests are to make atonement for the altar and cleanse it; so they shall consecrate it.

26 فَتُكَفِّرُونَ عَنِ الْمَذْبَحِ وَتُطَهِّرُونَهُ وَتُكَرِّسُونَهُ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ.

27 At the end of these days, from the eighth day on, the priests are to present your burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar. Then I will accept you, declares the Lord GOD.’”

27 وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّامِنِ وَمَا يَلِيهِ مِنْ أَيَّامٍ بَعْدَ إِتْمَامِ أُسْبُوعِ التَّطْهِيرِ، يُقَرِّبُ الْكَهَنَةُ عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ مُحْرَقَاتِكُمْ وَذَبَائِحَ سَلامِكُمْ، فَأَرْضَى عَنْكُمْ يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ».
