Prophetia Ezechielis, 46

1. hæc dicit Dominus Deus porta atrii interioris quæ respicit ad orientem erit clausa sex diebus in quibus opus fit die autem sabbati aperietur sed et in die kalendarum aperietur

1. Thus saith the Lord God: The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east, shall be shut the six days, on which work is done; but on the sabbath day it shall be opened, yea and on the day of the new moon it shall be opened.

2. et intrabit princeps per viam vestibuli portæ de foris et stabit in limine portæ et facient sacerdotes holocaustum ejus et pacifica ejus et adorabit super limen portæ et egredietur porta autem non claudetur usque ad vesperam

2. And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate from without, and he shall stand at the threshold of the gate: and the priests shall offer his holocaust, and his peace offerings: and he shall adore upon the threshold of the gate, and shall go out: but the gate shall not be shut till the evening.

3. et adorabit populus terræ ad ostium portæ illius in sabbatis et in kalendis coram Domino

3. And the people of the land shall adore at the door of that gate before the Lord on the sabbaths, and on the new moons.

4. holocaustum autem hoc offeret princeps Domino in die sabbati sex agnos inmaculatos et arietem inmaculatum

4. And the holocaust that the prince shall offer to the Lord on the sabbath day, shall be six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish.

5. et sacrificium œphi per arietem agnis autem sacrificium quod dederit manus ejus et olei hin per singula œphi

5. And the sacrifice of an ephi for a ram: but for the lambs what sacrifice his hand shall allow: and a hin of oil for every ephi.

6. in die autem kalendarum vitulum de armento inmaculatum et sex agni et arietes inmaculati erunt

6. And on the day of the new moon a calf of the herd without blemish: and the six lambs, and the rams shall be without blemish.

7. et œphi per vitulum œphi quoque per arietem faciet sacrificium agnis autem sicut invenerit manus ejus et olei hin per singula œphi

7. And he shall offer in sacrifice an ephi for a calf, an ephi also for a ram: but for the lambs, as his hand shall find : and a hin of oil for every ephi.

8. cumque ingressurus est princeps per viam vestibuli portæ ingrediatur et per eandem viam exeat

8. And when the prince is to go in, let him go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and let him go out the same way.

9. et cum intrabit populus terræ in conspectu Domini in sollemnitatibus qui ingreditur per portam aquilonis ut adoret egrediatur per viam portæ meridianæ porro qui ingreditur per viam portæ meridianæ egrediatur per viam portæ aquilonis non revertetur per viam portæ per quam ingressus est sed e regione illius egredietur

9. But when the people of the land shall go in before the Lord in the solemn feasts, he that goeth in by the north gate to adore, shall go out by the way of the south gate : and he that; goeth in by the way of the south gate, shall go out by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go out at that over against it.

10. princeps autem in medio eorum cum ingredientibus ingredietur et cum egredientibus egredietur

10. And the prince in the midst of them, shall go in when they go in, and go out when they go out.

11. et in nundinis et in sollemnitatibus erit sacrificium œphi per vitulum et œphi per arietem agnis autem erit sacrificium sicut invenerit manus ejus et olei hin per singula œphi

11. And in the fairs, and in the solemnities there shall be the sacrifice of an ephi to a calf, and an ephi to a ram: and to the lambs, the sacrifice shall be as his hand shall find: and a hin of oil to every ephi.

12. cum autem fecerit princeps spontaneum holocaustum aut pacifica voluntaria Domino aperietur ei porta quæ respicit ad orientem et faciet holocaustum suum et pacifica sua sicut fieri solet in die sabbati et egredietur claudeturque porta postquam exierit

12. But when the prince shall offer a voluntary holocaust, or voluntary peace offerings to the Lord : the gate that looketh towards the east shall be opened to him, and he shall offer his holocaust, and his peace offerings, as it is wont to be done on the sabbath day: and he shall go out, and the gate shall be shut after he is gone forth.

13. et agnum ejusdem anni inmaculatum faciet holocaustum cotidie Domino semper mane faciet illud

13. And he shall offer every day for a holocaust to the Lord, a lamb of the same year without blemish: he shall offer it always in the morning.

14. et sacrificium faciet super eo cata mane mane sextam partem œphi et de oleo tertiam partem hin ut misceatur similæ sacrificium Domino legitimum juge atque perpetuum

14. And he shall offer the sacrifice for it morning by morning, the sixth part of ephi: and the third part of a bin of oil be mingled with the fine hour: a to the Lord by ordinance continual and everlasting.

15. faciet agnum et sacrificium et oleum cata mane mane holocaustum sempiternum

15. He shall offer the lamb, and the sacrifice, and the oil morning by morning: an everlasting holocaust.

16. hæc dicit Dominus Deus si dederit princeps donum alicui de filiis suis hereditas ejus filiorum suorum erit possidebunt ea hereditarie

16. Thus saith the Lord God: If the prince give a gift to any of his sons: the inheritance of it shall go to his children, they shall possess it by inheritance.

17. si autem dederit legatum de hereditate sua uni servorum suorum erit illius usque ad annum remissionis et revertetur ad principem hereditas autem ejus filiis ejus erit

17. But if he give a legacy out of his inheritance to one of his servants, it shall be his until the year of release, and it shall return to the prince: but his inheritance shall go to his sons.

18. et non accipiet princeps de hereditate populi per violentiam et de possessione eorum sed de possessione sua hereditatem dabit filiis suis ut non dispergatur populus meus unusquisque a possessione sua

18. And the prince shall not take of the people's inheritance by violence, nor of their possession : but out of his own possession he shall give an inheritance to his sons: that my people be not dispersed every man from his possession.

19. et introduxit me per ingressum qui erat ex latere portæ in gazofilacia sanctuarii ad sacerdotes quæ respiciebant ad aquilonem et erat ibi locus vergens ad occidentem

19. And he brought me in by the entry that was at the side of the gate, into the chambers of the sanctuary that were for the priests, which looked toward the north. And there was a place bending to the west.

20. et dixit ad me iste est locus ubi coquent sacerdotes pro delicto et pro peccato ubi coquent sacrificium ut non efferant in atrio exteriori et sanctificetur populus

20. And he said to me: This is the place where the priests shall boil the sin offering, and the trespass offering: where they shall dress the sacrifice, that they may not bring it out into the outward court, and the people be sanctified.

21. et eduxit me in atrium exterius et circumduxit me per quattuor angulos atrii et ecce atriolum erat in angulo atrii atriola singula per angulos atrii

21. And he brought me into the outward court, and he led me about by the four corners of the court: and behold there was a little court in the corner of the court, to every corner of the court there was a little court.

22. in quattuor angulos atrii atriola disposita quadraginta cubitorum per longum et triginta per latum mensuræ unius quattuor erant

22. In the four corners of the court were little courts disposed, forty cubits long, and thirty broad, all the four were of one measure.

23. et paries per circuitum ambiens quattuor atriola et culinæ fabricatæ erant subter porticus per gyrum

23. And there was a wall round about compassing the four little courts, and there were kitchens built under the rows round about.

24. et dixit ad me hæc est domus culinarum in qua coquent ministri domus Domini victimas populi

24. And he said to me: This is the house of the kitchens wherein the ministers of the house of the Lord shall boil the victims of the people.
