Prophetia Ezechielis, 46

1. Haec dixit Dominus Deus: Porta atrii interioris, quae respicit ad orientem, erit clausa sex diebus, in quibus opus fit; die autem sabbati aperietur, sed et in die calendarum aperietur,

1. "Thus says the Lord GOD: The gate of the inner court that faces east shall be shut on the six working days; but on the sabbath day it shall be opened and on the day of the new moon it shall be opened.

2. et intrabit princeps per viam vestibuli portae deforis et stabit in poste portae, et facient sacerdotes holocaustum eius et pacifica eius, et adorabit super limen portae et egredietur; porta autem non claudetur usque ad vesperam.

2. The prince shall enter by the vestibule of the gate from without, and shall take his stand by the post of the gate. The priests shall offer his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate. Then he shall go out, but the gate shall not be shut until evening.

3. Et adorabit populus terrae ad ostium portae illius in sabbatis et in calendis coram Domino.

3. The people of the land shall worship at the entrance 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 immaculatos et arietem immaculatum

4. The burnt offering that the prince offers to the LORD on the sabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish and a ram without blemish;

5. et oblationem ephi per arietem, per agnos autem oblationem, quantum dederit manus eius, et olei hin per singula ephi;

5. and the cereal offering with the ram shall be an ephah, and the cereal offering with the lambs shall be as much as he is able, together with a hin of oil to each ephah.

6. in die autem calendarum vitulum de armento immaculatum et sex agni et aries immaculati erunt

6. On the day of the new moon he shall offer a young bull without blemish, and six lambs and a ram, which shall be without blemish;

7. et ephi per vitulum, ephi quoque per arietem faciet oblationem, per agnos autem sicut invenerit manus eius, et olei hin per singula ephi.

7. as a cereal offering he shall provide an ephah with the bull and an ephah with the ram, and with the lambs as much as he is able, together with a hin of oil to each ephah.

8. Cumque ingressurus est princeps, per viam vestibuli portae ingrediatur et per eandem viam exeat.

8. When the prince enters, he shall go in by the vestibule of the gate, and he shall go out by the same way.

9. Et cum intrabit populus terrae in conspectu Domini in sollemnitatibus, qui ingreditur per portam aquilonis, ut adoret, egrediatur per viam portae meridianae; porro qui ingreditur per viam portae meridianae, egrediatur per viam portae aquilonis: non revertetur per viam portae, per quam ingressus est, sed e regione illius egredietur.

9. "When the people of the land come before the LORD at the appointed feasts, he who enters by the north gate to worship shall go out by the south gate; and he who enters by the south gate shall go out by the north gate: no one shall return by way of the gate by which he entered, but each shall go out straight ahead.

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

10. When they go in, the prince shall go in with them; and when they go out, he shall go out.

11. Et in diebus festis et in sollemnitatibus erit oblatio ephi per vitulum et ephi per arietem, per agnos autem erit oblatio, quantum invenerit manus eius, et olei hin per singula ephi.

11. "At the feasts and the appointed seasons the cereal offering with a young bull shall be an ephah, and with a ram an ephah, and with the lambs as much as one is able to give, together with a hin of oil to an ephah.

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

12. When the prince provides a freewill offering, either a burnt offering or peace offerings as a freewill offering to the LORD, the gate facing east shall be opened for him; and he shall offer his burnt offering or his peace offerings as he does on the sabbath day. Then he shall go out, and after he has gone out the gate shall be shut.

13. Et agnum anniculum immaculatum facies holocaustum cotidie Domino; semper mane facies illud.

13. "He shall provide a lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt offering to the LORD daily; morning by morning he shall provide it.

14. Et oblationem facies super eo mane mane sextam partem ephi, et de oleo tertiam partem hin, ut conspergatur simila; oblatio Domino, legitimum iuge atque perpetuum.

14. And he shall provide a cereal offering with it morning by morning, one sixth of an ephah, and one third of a hin of oil to moisten the flour, as a cereal offering to the LORD; this is the ordinance for the continual burnt offering.

15. Facient agnum et oblationem et oleum mane mane, holocaustum sempiternum.

15. Thus the lamb and the meal offering and the oil shall be provided, morning by morning, for a continual burnt offering.

16. Haec dixit Dominus Deus: Si dederit princeps donum alicui de filiis suis de hereditate sua, filiorum suorum erit; possidebunt illud hereditarie.

16. "Thus says the Lord GOD: If the prince makes a gift to any of his sons out of his inheritance, it shall belong to his sons, it is their property by inheritance.

17. Si autem dederit legatum de hereditate sua uni servorum suorum, erit illius usque ad annum remissionis et revertetur ad principem; sola hereditas filiorum eius illorum erit.

17. But if he makes a gift out of his inheritance to one of his servants, it shall be his to the year of liberty; then it shall revert to the prince; only his sons may keep a gift from his inheritance.

18. Et non accipiet princeps de hereditate populi, ut expellat eos de possessione eorum, sed de possessione sua hereditatem dabit filiis suis, ut non dispergatur populus meus unusquisque a possessione sua”.

18. The prince shall not take any of the inheritance of the people, thrusting them out of their property; he shall give his sons their inheritance out of his own property, so that none of my people shall be dispossessed of his property."

19. Et introduxit me per ingressum, qui erat ex latere portae, in exedras sacras sacerdotum, quae respiciebant ad aquilonem, et erat ibi locus in extrema parte vergens ad occidentem;

19. Then he brought me through the entrance, which was at the side of the gate, to the north row of the holy chambers for the priests; and there I saw a place at the extreme western end of them.

20. et dixit ad me: “Iste est locus, ubi coquent sacerdotes pro delicto et pro peccato, ubi coquent oblationem, ut non efferant in atrium exterius, et sanctificetur populus”.

20. And he said to me, "This is the place where the priests shall boil the guilt offering and the sin offering, and where they shall bake the cereal offering, in order not to bring them out into the outer court and so communicate holiness to the people."

21. Et eduxit me in atrium exterius et circumduxit me per quattuor angulos atrii, et ecce atriola singula per angulos atrii.

21. Then he brought me forth to the outer court, and led me to the four corners of the court; and in each corner of the court there was a court --

22. In quattuor angulis atrii atriola inclusa quadraginta cubitorum per longum et triginta per latum: mensurae unius quattuor erant.

22. in the four corners of the court were small courts, forty cubits long and thirty broad; the four were of the same size.

23. Et paries per circuitum ambiens quattuor atriola, et culinae fabricatae erant subter parietes per gyrum.

23. On the inside, around each of the four courts was a row of masonry, with hearths made at the bottom of the rows round about.

24. Et dixit ad me: “Hae sunt domus culinarum, in quibus coquent ministri domus Domini victimas populi”.

24. Then he said to me, "These are the kitchens where those who minister at the temple shall boil the sacrifices of the people."
