1 T hen the man brought me forth into the outer court northward, and he brought me to the attached chambers that were opposite the temple yard and were opposite the building on the north.

ثُمَّ أخرَجَنِي إلَى السّاحَةِ الخارِجِيَّةِ مِنْ خِلالِ البَوّابَةِ الشَّمالِيَّةِ، وَأخَذَنِي إلَى حُجرَةٍ مُقابِلَ الهَيكَلِ وَالمَنطِقَةِ المُسَيَّجَةِ المَحْصُورَةِ فِي الشَّمالِ.

2 B efore the long side of one hundred cubits was the door toward the north, and the breadth was fifty cubits.

فَكانَ طُولُ المَبنَى الَّذِي عِنْدَ البَوّابَةِ الشَّمالِيَّةِ مِئَةَ ذِراعٍ وَعَرضُهُ خَمسِينَ ذراعاً.

3 A djoining the twenty cubits which belonged to the inner court, and opposite the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was balcony facing balcony in three stories.

كانَ ارْتِفاعُ المَبْنَى بِقِسمَيْهِ ثَلاثَةَ طَوابِقَ وَلَهُ شُرُفاتٍ. القِسمُ الأوَّلُ يُقابِلُ جُزْءاً مِنَ السّاحَةِ الدّاخِلِيَّةِ وَعَرْضُهُ عِشْرِينَ ذِراعاً، وَالقِسمُ الآخَرُ يُقابِلُ رَصِيفَ السّاحَةِ الخارِجِيَّةِ.

4 A nd before the attached chambers was a walk inward of ten cubits breadth and a hundred cubits long, and their doors were on the north.

وَأمامَ المَبنَى ذِي الحُجَراتِ الكَثِيرَةِ، كانَ هُناكَ مَمَرٌّ عَرضَهُ عَشْرُ أذرُعٍ وَطُولَهُ مِئَةُ ذِراعٍ يَقُودُ إلَى السّاحَةِ الدّاخِلِيَّةِ. وَكانَ مَدخَلُ هَذِهِ الحُجُراتِ مِنَ الجِهَةِ الشَّمالِيَّةِ.

5 N ow the upper chambers were shorter, for the balconies took off from these more than from the lower and middle chambers of the building.

وَكانَتْ حُجُراتُ الطَّوابِقِ العُليا أقَلَّ عَرْضاً مِنْ حُجُراتِ الطَّوابِقِ السُّفلَى، لِأنَّ الشُّرُفاتِ تَحتاجُ إلَى مَساحَةٍ أكبَرَ.

6 F or they were in three stories, but did not have pillars as the pillars of the court; therefore the upper chambers were set back more than the lower and the middle ones from the ground.

فَكانَ المَبنَى ذا ثَلاثَةِ طَوابِقٍ، وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ أعمِدَةٌ كَالأبنِيَةِ الأُخرَى فِي السّاحَةِ. فَكُلَّما ارتَفَعَ البِناءُ طابِقاً، كانَتِ الحُجُراتُ تَضِيقُ بِسَبَبِ المَمَرّاتِ.

7 A nd the wall or fence that was outside, opposite and parallel to the chambers, toward the outer court before the chambers, was fifty cubits long,

وَكانَ هُناكَ جِدارٌ قَصِيرٌ خارِجَ الحُجُراتِ الجانِبِيَّةِ باتِّجاه السّاحَةِ الخارِجِيَّةِ طُولُهُ خَمسِينَ ذِراعاً.

8 F or the length of the chambers that were on the outer court was fifty cubits, while of those opposite the temple was a hundred cubits.

أمّا طُولُ الحُجُراتِ الجانِبِيَّةِ فِي السّاحَةِ الخارِجِيَّةِ فَخَمسِينَ ذِراعاً، وَطُولُ الحُجُراتِ المُقابِلَةِ لِلهَيكَلِ مِئَةُ ذِراعٍ.

9 A nd under these chambers was the entrance on the east side, as one approached them from the outer court.

وَتَحتَ هَذِهِ الحُجُراتِ الجانِبِيَّةِ، كانَ هُناكَ المَدخَلُ الشَّرقِيُّ الَّذِي يُؤَدِّي إلَى هَذِهِ المَنطِقَةِ مِنَ السّاحَةِ الخارِجِيَّةِ.

10 I n the breadth of the wall of the court going toward the east, before the yard and before the building, were the chambers

وَعَلَى طُولِ الجِدارِ الجَنُوبِيِّ لِلسّاحَةِ، عِندَ المَمَرِّ المُؤَدِّي إلَى الشَّرقِ، أمامَ المَنطِقَةِ وَالمَبنَى المَحصُورَينِ، كانَتْ هُناكَ المَزِيدُ مِنَ الحُجُراتِ الجانِبِيَّةِ.

11 W ith a passage before them that gave the appearance of the attached chambers on the north, of the same length and breadth, with similar exits and arrangements and doors.

وَكانَ هُناكَ مَمَرُّ أمامَها، مِثلُ الحُجُراتِ الجانِبِيَّةِ، الَّتِي تَقَعُ عَلَى المَمَرِّ الشَّمالِي. كانَتِ الحُجُراتُ مُرَبَّعَةً. وَأمّا بِالنِّسبَةِ لِلمَخارِجِ، فَقَدْ عَمِلُوها مُشابِهَةً لِلمَخارِجِ الشَّمالِيَّةِ.

12 A nd like the doors of the chambers that were toward the south there was an entrance at the head of the way, the way before the dividing wall toward the east, as one enters them.

وَكانَ المَدْخَلُ إلَى الحُجُراتِ السُّفلِيَّةِ فِي الطَّرَفِ الشَّرْقِيِّ لِلمَبْنَى، وَبِهَذا كانَ النّاسُ يَدْخُلُونَ مِنَ الطَّرَفِ المَفْتُوحِ المُؤَدِّي إلَى المَمَرِّ بَيْنَ جُزْأيْ مَبْنَى الحُجُراتِ.

13 T hen said the man to me, The north chambers and the south chambers, which are opposite the yard, are the holy chambers where the priests who approach the Lord shall eat the most holy offerings; there shall they lay the most holy things—the meal offering, the sin offering, and the trespass or guilt offering—for the place is holy.

حِينَئِذٍ، قالَ لِي الرَّجُلُ: «الحُجُراتُ الشَّمالِيَّةُ وَالجَنُوبِيَّةِ الَّتِي بِجِوارِ المَنطِقَةِ المَحَرَّمَةِ هِيَ حُجُراتُ مُخَصَّصَةٌ لِلكَهَنَةِ الَّذِينَ يُقَرِّبُونَ الذَّبائِحَ إلَى اللهِ. هُناكَ يَضَعُ الكَهَنَةُ التَّقِدِماتِ الأعظَمِ قَداسَةً – تَقدِماتِ الحُبُوبِ وَذَبائِحِ الخَطيَّةِ وَذَبائحِ الذَّنبِ، لأنَّ ذَلِكَ المَكانَ مُقَدَّسٌ.

14 W hen the priests enter the Holy Place, they shall not go out of it into the outer court unless they lay aside there the garments in which they minister, for these are holy, separate, and set apart. They shall put on other garments before they approach that which is for the people.

فَحِينَ يَأتِي الكَهَنَةُ إلَى هَذِهِ المَنطِقَةِ، لا يُسمَحُ لَهُمْ بِأنْ يَعُودُوا ثانِيَةً إلَى السّاحَةِ الخارِجِيَّةِ، وَهُمْ يَرتَدُونَ الثِّيابَ المُقَدَّسَةَ. عَلَيهِمْ خَلعُ الثِّيابِ الَّتِي خَدَمُوا فِيها، وَارْتِداءُ ثِيابٍ أُخْرَى. وَتُترَكُ تِلكَ الثِّيابَ فِي المَنطِقَةِ المُقَدَّسَةِ لِأنَّها مُقَدَّسَةٌ. حِينَئِذٍ، يُمكِنُهُمْ أنْ يَخرُجُوا إلَى حَيثُ يَجتَمِعُ النّاسُ. السّاحَةُ الخارِجِيَّة

15 N ow when he had finished measuring the inner temple area, he brought me forth toward the gate which faces east and measured it round about.

وَبَعدَ أنْ أكمَلَ قِياسَ الجُزءِ الدّاخِلِيِّ لِلهَيكَلِ، أخرَجَنِي عَبرَ البَوّابَةِ الشَّرقِيَّة وَقاسَ تِلكَ المَنطِقَةِ.

16 H e measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about.

وَاستَخدَمَ الرَّجُلُ عَصا القِياسِ، وَقاسَ الجِدارَ الشَّرقِيَّ مِنَ الزّاوِيَةِ إلَى الزّاوِيَةِ، فَكانَ خَمسَ مِئَةِ ذِراعٍ.

17 H e measured the north side, five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about.

وَاستَخدَمَ الرَّجُلُ عَصا القِياسِ، وَقاسَ الجِدارَ الشَّمالِيَّ، فَكانَ خَمسَ مِئَةِ ذِراعٍ.

18 H e measured the south side, five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.

ثُمَّ قاسَ الجِدارَ الجُنُوبِيَّ فَكانَ خَمسَ مِئَةِ ذِراعٍ.

19 H e turned about to the west side and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.

ثُمَّ قاسَ الجِدارَ الغَرْبِيَّ فَكانَ خَمْسَ مِئَةِ ذِراعٍ.

20 H e measured it on the four sides; it had a wall round about, the length five hundred reeds and the breadth five hundred, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.

وَقاسَ الجِدارَ مِنْ كُلِّ الجِهاتِ، فَكانَ الطُّولُ خَمسَ مِئَةِ ذِراعٍ، وَالعَرضُ خَمسَ مِئَةِ ذِراعٍ أيضاً. وَقَدْ بُنِيَ لِلفَصلِ بَينَ المِنطَقَةِ المُقَدَّسَةِ وَالمِنطَقَةِ العادِيَّةِ.
