< Ezekiel 43 >

1 Then he took me unto the gate, —even the gate that looked toward the east;
Et duxit me ad portam, quæ respiciebat ad viam Orientalem.
2 when lo! the glory of the God of Israel coming from the way of the east, —and the sound of him, was as the sound of many waters, and the earth shone with his glory.
Et ecce gloria Dei Israel ingrediebatur per viam Orientalem: et vox erat ei quasi vox aquarum multarum, et terra splendebat a maiestate eius.
3 And it was like the appearance of the vision which I had seen like the vision which I saw—when I came in to destroy the city, also the visions were like the vision which I saw by the river Chebar, —so I fell upon my face.
Et vidi visionem secundum speciem, quam videram, quando venit ut disperderet civitatem: et species secundum aspectum, quem videram iuxta fluvium Chobar: et cecidi super faciem meam.
4 And the glory of Yahweh entered into the house, —by way of the gate which looked toward the east.
Et maiestas Domini ingressa est templum per viam portæ, quæ respiciebat ad Orientem.
5 So then the spirit lifted me up, and brought me into the inner court, —and lo! the glory of Yahweh filled the house.
Et elevavit me Spiritus, et introduxit me in atrium interius: et ecce repleta erat gloria Domini domus.
6 Then heard I one speaking unto me. out of the house, —and a man, there was standing beside me.
Et audivi loquentem ad me de domo, et vir qui stabat iuxta me,
7 Then said he unto me, Son of man This is the place of my throne and the place of the soles of my feet where I would dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel to times age-abiding, - But the house of Israel must, no more defile my holy Name. They, nor their kings by their unchastity, and by the carcases of their kings in their high places,
dixit ad me: Fili hominis, locus solii mei, et locus vestigiorum pedum meorum, ubi habito in medio filiorum Israel in æternum: et non polluent ultra domus Israel nomen sanctum meum, ipsi, et reges eorum in fornicationibus suis, et in ruinis regum suorum, et in excelsis.
8 When they placed— Their threshold by my threshold and their door-post beside my door-post, With, only the wall, between me and them, then defiled they my holy Name by their abominations which they committed, Wherefore I devoured them in mine anger.
Qui fabricati sunt limen suum iuxta limen meum, et postes suos iuxta postes meos: et murus erat inter me et eos: et polluerunt nomen sanctum meum in abominationibus, quas fecerunt: propter quod consumpsi eos in ira mea.
9 Now, let them remove their unchastity and the carcases of their kings far from me, - So will I make my habitation in the midst of them, to times age-abiding.
Nunc ergo repellant procul fornicationem suam, et ruinas regum suorum a me: et habitabo in medio eorum semper.
10 Thou, son of man, Declare the house unto the house of Israel, That they may be put to the blush for their iniquities, - Then let them measure the pattern.
Tu autem fili hominis ostende domui Israel templum, et confundantur ab iniquitatibus suis, et metiantur fabricam:
11 And when they have blushed for all that they have done, then The form of the house. And the arrangement thereof And the exits thereof. And the entrances thereof And all the forms thereof, and all the statutes thereof. And all the forms thereof and all the laws thereof, make thou known unto them, And write [it] before their eyes; That they may keep— All the forms thereof And all the statutes thereof. And do them.
et erubescant ex omnibus, quæ fecerunt: Figuram domus, et fabricæ eius exitus, et introitus, et omnem descriptionem eius, et universa præcepta eius, cunctumque ordinem eius, et omnes leges eius ostende eis, et scribes in oculis eorum: ut custodiant omnes descriptiones eius, et præcepta illius, et faciant ea.
12 This shall be the law of the house, — Upon the top of the mountain, all the boundary thereof round about on every side, [shall be] most holy, Lo! this, shall be the law of the house.
Ista est lex domus in summitate montis: Omnis finis eius in circuitu, Sanctum Sanctorum est: hæc est ergo lex domus.
13 And these, shall be the measures of the altar, in cubits, a cubit being a cubit and a handbreadth; and the hollow, shall be a cubit, and a cubit the breadth, and the boundary thereof unto the edge thereof round about shall be a single span. And this, shall be the upper part of the altar,
Istæ autem mensuræ altaris in cubito verissimo, qui habebat cubitum, et palmum: in sinu eius erat cubitus et cubitus in latitudine, et definitio eius usque ad labium eius, et in circuitu, palmus unus. Hæc quoque erat fossa altaris.
14 And from the hollow of the ground unto the lower ledge, [shall be] two cubits, and the breadth, one cubit, - and from the smaller ledge unto the larger ledge, [shall be] four cubits, and the breadth, a cubit.
Et de sinu terræ usque ad crepidinem novissimam duo cubiti, et latitudo cubiti unius: et a crepidine minore usque ad crepidinem maiorem quattuor cubiti, et latitudo cubiti unius.
15 And the hearth, [shall, be] four cubits, —and from the hearth and upward, the horns [shall be] four.
Ipse autem Ariel quattuor cubitorum: et ab Ariel usque ad sursum, cornua quattuor.
16 And the hearth shall be twelve cubits in length, by twelve in breadth—square in the four sides thereof.
Et Ariel duodecim cubitorum in longitudine per duodecim cubitos latitudinis: quadrangulatum æquis lateribus.
17 And the ledge shall be fourteen in length, by fourteen in breadth, unto the four sides thereof, —and the boundary round about it shall be half a cubit and, the hollow thereto, a cubit round about, with, the steps thereof, looking toward the east.
Et crepido quattuordecim cubitorum longitudinis per quattuordecim cubitos latitudinis in quattuor angulis eius: et corona in circuitu eius dimidii cubiti, et sinus eius unius cubiti per circuitum: gradus autem eius versi ad Orientem.
18 Then said he unto me, Son of man, Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh, These, shall be the statutes of the altar, in the day when it is made, —for offering up thereon—an ascending-sacrifice, and for dashing thereon—blood.
Et dixit ad me: Fili hominis, hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Hi sunt ritus altaris in quacumque die fuerit fabricatum: ut offeratur super illud holocaustum, et effundatur sanguis.
19 So then thou shalt give unto the priests the Levites those who are of the seed of Zadok who approach unto me Declareth My Lord Yahweh. to wait upon me—a young bullock as a sin-bearer,
Et dabis sacerdotibus, et Levitis, qui sunt de semine Sadoc, qui accedunt ad me, ait Dominus Deus, ut offerant mihi vitulum de armento pro peccato.
20 Then shalt thou take of the blood thereof and place upon the four horns thereof and on the four corners of the ledge, and on the boundary, round about, —and shalt cleanse it from sin and put a propitiatory-covering over it.
Et assumens de sanguine eius, pones super quattuor cornua eius, et super quattuor angulos crepidinis, et super coronam in circuitu: et mundabis illud, et expiabis.
21 Then shalt thou take the bullock bearing sin, - and shalt burn it in the appointed place of the house, outside the sanctuary,
Et tolles vitulum, qui oblatus fuerit pro peccato: et combures eum in separato loco domus extra sanctuarium.
22 And on the second day, shalt thou bring near a kid of the goats without defect as a sin-bearer, —and they shall cleanse the altar from sin just as they cleansed it from sin with the bullock,
Et in die secunda offeres hircum caprarum immaculatum pro peccato: et expiabunt altare, sicut expiaverunt in vitulo.
23 When thou hast made an end of cleansing from sin, thou shalt bring near a young bullock without defect, and a ram out of the flock without defect;
Cumque compleveris expians illud, offeres vitulum de armento immaculatum, et arietem de grege immaculatum.
24 and shalt bring them near before Yahweh, —and the priests shall cast over them salt, so shall they cause them to go up as an ascending-sacrifice to Yahweh.
Et offeres eos in conspectu Domini: et mittent sacerdotes super eos sal, et offerent eos holocaustum Domino.
25 Seven days, shalt thou offer a sin-bearing goat for each day, —and a young bullock and aram out of the flock without defect, shall they offer.
Septem diebus facies hircum pro peccato quotidie: et vitulum de armento, et arietem de pecoribus immaculatos offerent.
26 Seven days, shall they put a propitiatory covering over the altar, and shall purify it, —and shall consecrate it.
Septem diebus expiabunt altare, et mundabunt illud: et implebunt manum eius.
27 When the days shall be accomplished, then shall it be on the eighth day and forward, that the priests shall offer upon the altar your ascending-sacrifices and your peace offerings. And I will accept you Declareth, My Lord Yahweh.
Expletis autem diebus, in die octava et ultra, facient sacerdotes super altare holocausta vestra, et quæ pro pace offerunt: et placatus ero vobis, ait Dominus Deus.
