Ezekiel 43
1 And he took me to the doorway looking to the east:
Derpå førte han mig hen til Østporten.
2 And there was the glory of the God of Israel coming from the way of the east: and his voice was like the sound of great waters, and the earth was shining with his glory.
Og se Israels Guds Herlighed kom østerfra, og det lød som mange Vandes Brus, og Jorden lyste af hans Herlighed.
3 And the vision which I saw was like the vision I had seen when he came for the destruction of the town: and like the vision which I saw by the river Chebar; and I went down on my face.
Synet var som det, jeg havde set, da han kom for at ødelægge Byen, og Vognen så ud som den, jeg havde set ved Floden Kebar. Da faldt jeg på mit Ansigt.
4 And the glory of the Lord came into the house by the way of the doorway looking to the east.
Og HERRENs Herlighed drog ind i Templet gennem den Port, hvis Forside vendte mod Øst.
5 And the spirit, lifting me up, took me into the inner square; and I saw that the house was full of the glory of the Lord.
Men Ånden løftede mig op og bragte mig ind i den indre Forgård, og se, HERRENs Herlighed fyldte Templet.
6 And the voice of one talking to me came to my ears from inside the house; and the man was by my side.
Og jeg hørte en tale til mig ud fra Templet, medens Manden stod ved Siden af mig,
7 And he said to me, Son of man, this is the place where the seat of my power is and the resting-place of my feet, where I will be among the children of Israel for ever: and no longer will the people of Israel make my holy name unclean, they or their kings, by their loose ways and by the dead bodies of their kings;
og han sagde: Menneskesøn! Her er min Trones og mine Fodsålers Sted, hvor jeg vil bo midt iblandt Israeliterne til evig Tid. Israels Hus skal ikke mere vanhellige mit hellige Navn, hverken de eller deres konger, med deres Bolen eller deres kongers Lig,
8 By putting their doorstep by my doorstep, and the pillar of their door by the pillar of my door, with only a wall between me and them; and they have made my holy name unclean by the disgusting things which they have done: so in my wrath I sent destruction on them.
de, som satte deres Tærskel lige ved min og deres Dørstolper lige ved mine, kun med en Mur imellem mig og dem, og vanhelligede mit hellige Navn ved de Vederstyggeligheder, de øvede, så jeg måtte tilintetgøre dem i min Vrede.
9 Now let them put their loose ways and the dead bodies of their kings far from me, and I will be among them for ever.
Nu skal de fri mig for deres Bolen og deres Kongers Lig, så jeg kan bo iblandt dem til evig Tid.
10 You, son of man, give the children of Israel an account of this house, so that they may be shamed because of their evil-doing: and let them see the vision of it and its image.
Men du, Menneskesøn, giv Israels Hus en Beskrivelse af Templet, dets Udseende og Form, at de må skamme sig over deres Misgerninger.
11 And they will be shamed by what they have done; so give them the knowledge of the form of the house and its structure, and the ways out of it and into it, and all its laws and its rules, writing it down for them: so that they may keep all its laws and do them.
Og dersom de skammer sig over alt, hvad de har gjort, så kundgør dem Templets Omrids og Indretning, dets Udgange og Indgange, et helt Billede deraf; ligeledes alle Vedtægter og Love derom; og skriv det op for deres Øjne, at de må mærke sig Billedet i sin Helhed og alle Vedtægterne og holde dem.
12 This is the law of the house: On the top of the mountain all the space round it on every side will be most holy. See, this is the law of the house.
Dette er Loven om Templet: På Bjergets Tinde skal alt dets Område til alle Sider være højhelligt; se, det er Loven om Templet.
13 And these are the measures of the altar in cubits: (the cubit being a cubit and a hand's measure; ) its hollow base is a cubit high and a cubit wide, and it has an overhanging edge as wide as a hand-stretch all round it:
Følgende er Alterets Mål i Alen, en Alen en Håndsbred længere end sædvanlig: Foden var en Alen høj og en Alen bred, Kantlisten Randen rundt et Spand høj. Om Alterets Højde gælder følgende:
14 And from the base on the earth level to the lower shelf, the altar is two cubits high and a cubit wide; and from the smaller shelf to the greater shelf it is four cubits high and a cubit wide.
Fra Foden underneden op til det nederste Fremspring to Alen med en Alens Bredde; og fra det lille Fremspring til det store fire Alen med en Alens Bredde.
15 And the fireplace is four cubits high: and coming up from the fireplace are the horns, a cubit high.
Ildstedet var fire Alen højt, og fra Ildstedet ragede fire Horn i Vejret.
16 And the fireplace is twelve cubits long and twelve cubits wide, square on its four sides.
Ildstedet var tolv Alen langt og tolv Alen bredt, så det dannede en ligesidet Firkant.
17 And the shelf is fourteen cubits long and fourteen cubits wide, on its four sides; the edge round it is half a cubit; the base of it is a cubit all round, and its steps are facing the east.
Det store Fremspring var fjorten Alen langt og fjorten Alen bredt på alle fire Sider; det lille Fremspring seksten Alen langt og seksten Alen bredt på alle fire Sider; Kantlisten rundt om en halv Alen bred og Foden en Alen bred rundt om. Trappen var på Østsiden.
18 And he said to me, Son of man, the Lord God has said, These are the rules for the altar, when they make it, for the offering of burned offerings on it and the draining out of the blood.
Og han sagde til mig: Menneskesøn! Så siger den Herre HERREN: Følgende er Vedtægteme om Alteret, på den Dag det bygges til at ofre Brændofre og sprænge Blod på:
19 You are to give to the priests, the Levites of the seed of Zadok, who come near to me, says the Lord God, to do my work, a young ox for a sin-offering.
Så lyder det fra den Herre HERREN: Levitpræsterne, som nedstammer fra Zadok og må nærme sig mig for at gøre Tjeneste for mig, skal du give en ung Tyr til Syndoffer;
20 You are to take some of its blood and put it on the four horns and on the four angles of the shelf and on the edge all round: and you are to make it clean and free from sin.
og du skal tage noget af dens Blod og stryge det på Alterets fire Horn, på Fremspringets fire Hjørner og på Kantlisten rundt om og således rense det for Synd og fuldbyrde Soningen for det.
21 And you are to take the ox of the sin-offering, and have it burned in the special place ordered for it in the house, outside the holy place.
Og du skal tage Syndoffertyren og brænde den ved Tempelvagten uden for Helligdommen.
22 And on the second day you are to have a he-goat without any mark on it offered for a sin-offering; and they are to make the altar clean as they did with the young ox.
Næste Dag skal du bringe en lydefri Gedebuk som Syndoffer, og de skal rense Alteret for Synd, ligesom de rensede det med Tyren.
23 And after you have made it clean, let a young ox without a mark be offered, and a male sheep from the flock without a mark.
Og når du er til Ende med at rense det for Synd, skal du bringe en lydefri ung Tyr og en lydefri Væder af Småkvæget;
24 And you are to take them before the Lord, and the priests will put salt on them, offering them up for a burned offering to the Lord.
du skal bringe dem for HERRENs Åsyn, og Præsterne skal strø Salt på dem og ofre dem som Brændoffer for HERREN.
25 Every day for seven days you are to give a goat for a sin-offering: and let them give in addition a young ox and a male sheep from the flock without any mark on them.
Syv Dage skal du daglig ofre en Syndofferbuk, og man skal ofre en ung Tyr og en Væder af Småkvæget, lydefri Dyr;
26 For seven days they are to make offerings to take away sin from the altar and to make it clean; so they are to make it holy.
i syv Dage skal man fuldbyrde Soningen for Alteret og rense det og indvie det.
27 And when these days have come to an end, then on the eighth day and after, the priests will make your burned offerings on the altar and your peace-offerings; and I will take pleasure in you, says the Lord.
Således skal man bære sig ad i disse Dage. Og på den ottende Dag og siden hen skal Præsterne ofre eders Brændofre og Takofre på Alteret; og jeg vil have Behag i eder, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.
