Prophetia Ezechielis, 41

1. Et introduxit me in templum et mensus est postes: sex cu bitos latitudinis hinc et sex cubitos latitudinis inde.

1. Then he brought me to the nave, and measured the jambs; on each side six cubits was the breadth of the jambs.

2. Et latitudo portae decem cubitorum erat, et latera portae quinque cubitis hinc et quinque cubitis inde; et mensus est longitudinem eius quadraginta cubitorum et latitudinem viginti cubitorum.

2. And the breadth of the entrance was ten cubits; and the sidewalls of the entrance were five cubits on either side; and he measured the length of the nave forty cubits, and its breadth, twenty cubits.

3. Et introgressus intrinsecus, mensus est in poste portae duos cubitos et portam sex cubitorum et latitudinem laterum portae septem cubitorum hinc et septem cubitorum inde.

3. Then he went into the inner room and measured the jambs of the entrance, two cubits; and the breadth of the entrance, six cubits; and the sidewalls of the entrance, seven cubits.

4. Et mensus est longitudinem eius viginti cubitorum et latitudinem viginti cubitorum versus faciem templi. Et dixit ad me: “Hoc est Sanctum sanctorum”.

4. And he measured the length of the room, twenty cubits, and its breadth, twenty cubits, beyond the nave. And he said to me, This is the most holy place.

5. Et mensus est parietem domus sex cubitorum et latitudinem aedificii adiacentis quattuor cubitorum undique per circuitum domus;

5. Then he measured the wall of the temple, six cubits thick; and the breadth of the side chambers, four cubits, round about the temple.

6. cubicula autem adiacentia, cubiculum super cubiculum, in tribus tabulatis. Et erant margines eminentes in pariete domus pro cubiculis adiacentibus per circuitum, ut essent fulcra, neque essent fulcra intra parietem domus,

6. And the side chambers were in three stories, one over another, thirty in each story. There were offsets all around the wall of the temple to serve as supports for the side chambers, so that they should not be supported by the wall of the temple.

7. et latitudo ambitus sursum ascendens iuxta cubicula adiacentia, quia circumdata erat domus usque sursum circa domum; idcirco amplificata erat domus usque sursum, et de inferiore tabulato ascendebatur ad superius per medium.

7. And the side chambers became broader as they rose from story to story, corresponding to the enlargement of the offset from story to story round about the temple; on the side of the temple a stairway led upward, and thus one went up from the lowest story to the top story through the middle story.

8. Et vidi in domo altitudinem per circuitum, fundamenta aedificii adiacentis mensura calami pleni, id est sex cubitorum, in altitudine.

8. I saw also that the temple had a raised platform round about; the foundations of the side chambers measured a full reed of six long cubits.

9. Et latitudo parietis aedificii adiacentis forinsecus erat quinque cubitorum. Et area vacua inter cubicula domui adiacentia,

9. The thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits; and the part of the platform which was left free was five cubits. Between the platform of the temple and the

10. et inter exedras habebat latitudinem viginti cubitorum in circuitu domus undique.

10. chambers of the court was a breadth of twenty cubits round about the temple on every side.

11. Et ostia aedificii adiacentis ad aream vacuam, ostium unum ad viam aquilonis et ostium unum ad viam australem; et latitudo muri areae vacuae quinque cubitorum in circuitu.

11. And the doors of the side chambers opened on the part of the platform that was left free, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south; and the breadth of the part that was left free was five cubits round about.

12. Et aedificium, quod erat ex adverso areae separatae versumque ad viam respicientem ad mare, latitudinis septuaginta cubitorum; paries autem aedificii quinque cubitorum latitudinis per circuitum et longitudo eius nonaginta cubitorum.

12. The building that was facing the temple yard on the west side was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick round about, and its length ninety cubits.

13. Et mensus est domus longitudinem centum cubitorum et areae separatae et aedificii et parietum eius longitudinem centum cubitorum;

13. Then he measured the temple, a hundred cubits long; and the yard and the building with its walls, a hundred cubits long;

14. latitudinem autem faciei domus et areae separatae contra orientem centum cubitorum.

14. also the breadth of the east front of the temple and the yard, a hundred cubits.

15. Et mensus est longitudinem aedificii ex adverso areae separatae ad dorsum et parietum eius ex utraque parte centum cubitorum. Et templum interius et vestibulum exterius

15. Then he measured the length of the building facing the yard which was at the west and its walls on either side, a hundred cubits. The nave of the temple and the inner room and the outer vestibule

16. strata erant ligno, et fenestrae marginatae et margines in circuitu triplices contra limen erant strato ligno per gyrum in circuitu, et a terra usque ad fenestras — et fenestrae poterant claudi — usque ad superiora ostii;

16. were paneled and round about all three had windows with recessed frames. Over against the threshold the temple was paneled with wood round about, from the floor up to the windows (now the windows were covered),

17. et usque ad domum interiorem et forinsecus et per omnem parietem in circuitu, intrinsecus et forinsecus, ad mensuram

17. to the space above the door, even to the inner room, and on the outside. And on all the walls round about in the inner room and the nave were carved likenesses

18. fabrefacti cherubim et palmae, et palma inter cherub et cherub; duasque facies habebat cherub,

18. of cherubim and palm trees, a palm tree between cherub and cherub. Every cherub had two faces:

19. faciem hominis versam ad palmam ex hac parte et faciem leonis versam ad palmam ex alia parte: expressi per omnem domum in circuitu.

19. the face of a man toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side. They were carved on the whole temple round about;

20. De terra usque ad superiora portae cherubim et palmae caelatae erant. In pariete templi

20. from the floor to above the door cherubim and palm trees were carved on the wall.

21. postes portae quadruplices, et coram sanctuario aspectus quasi aspectus

21. The doorposts of the nave were squared; and in front of the holy place was something resembling

22. altaris lignei trium cubitorum altitudo, et longitudo eius duorum cubitorum, et anguli eius et bases eius et parietes eius lignei. Et locutus est ad me: “Haec est mensa coram Domino”.

22. an altar of wood, three cubits high, two cubits long, and two cubits broad; its corners, its base, and its walls were of wood. He said to me, "This is the table which is before the LORD."

23. Et duo ostia erant templo et sanctuario

23. The nave and the holy place had each a double door.

24. duo ostia. Ostiis erant duae valvae versatiles usque ad parietem, valvae duae ostio uni et valvae duae ostio alteri.

24. The doors had two leaves apiece, two swinging leaves for each door.

25. Et caelati erant in ipsis ostiis templi cherubim et sculpturae palmarum, sicut in parietibus quoque expressi erant; et tectum ligneum erat in vestibuli fronte forinsecus.

25. And on the doors of the nave were carved cherubim and palm trees, such as were carved on the walls; and there was a canopy of wood in front of the vestibule outside.

26. Et fenestrae marginatae et similitudo palmarum hinc atque inde in lateribus vestibuli et in cubiculis adiacentibus domus.

26. And there were recessed windows and palm trees on either side, on the sidewalls of the vestibule.
