1 A nd he brought me unto the gate, the gate which looked toward the east.

ثُمَّ أخَذَنِي إلَى البَوّابَةِ الشَّرقِيَّةِ.

2 A nd behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east; and his voice was like the voice of many waters; and the earth was lit up with his glory.

فَرَأيتُ هُناكَ مَجدَ إلَهِ إسْرائِيلَ آتِياً مِنَ الشَّرقِ بِصَوتٍ عالٍ وَعَظِيمٍ، كَصَوتِ البَحرِ الهائِجِ. وَأضاءَتِ الأرْضُ مِنْ مَجدِهِ.

3 A nd the appearance of the vision that I saw was according to the vision that I had seen when I came to destroy the city; and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar: and I fell upon my face.

وَقَدْ كانَتْ هَيئَةُ مَجدِهِ حِينَ أتَى لِيُدَمِّرَ المَدِينَةَ مِثلَما فِي الرُّؤيا الَّتِي سَبَقَ أنْ رَأيْتَها عِندَ نَهرِ خابُورَ. وَعِندَما رَأيتُهُ سَقَطتُ وَوَجهِي عَلَى الأرْضِ.

4 A nd the glory of Jehovah came into the house by the way of the gate whose front was toward the east.

ثُمَّ دَخَلَ مَجدُ اللهِ إلَى الهَيكَلِ عَبرَ البَوّابَةِ الشَّرقِيَّةِ.

5 A nd the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of Jehovah filled the house.

وَحِينَئذٍ رَفَعَنِي الرُّوحُ وَحَمَلَنِي إلَى السّاحَةِ الدّاخِلِيَّةِ. وَكانَ مَجدُ اللهِ يَملأُ الهَيكَلَ.

6 A nd I heard one speaking unto me out of the house; and a man was standing by me.

وَعِندَئِذٍ سَمِعْتُ صَوتاً يَتَكَلَّمُ إلَيَّ مِنْ داخِلِ الهَيكَلِ. وَكانَ هُناكَ رَجُلٌ يَقِفُ بِجانِبِي. فَقالَ لِي صَوتٌ مِنَ الدّاخِلِ:

7 A nd he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever; and the house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, they nor their kings, with their fornication, and with the carcases of their kings their high places,

«يا إنْسانُ، هَذا مَقَرُّ عَرشِي وَمَوطِئُ قَدَمِي مُنذُ الآنِ، حَيثُ سَأسكُنُ هُناكَ فِي وَسَطِ بَني إسْرائِيلَ إلَى الأبَدِ. فَلا يَنبَغِي أنْ يُدَنِّسَ بَنُو إسْرائِيلَ وَلا مُلُوكُهُمْ اسْمِيَ القُدُّوسُ بِعَدَمِ أمانَتِهِمْ وَبِجُثَثِ مُلُوكِهِمِ.

8 i n that they set their threshold by my threshold, and their post by my post, and a wall between me and them, and they defiled my holy name with their abominations which they committed; and I consumed them in mine anger.

فقَدْ نَجَّسُوا اسْمِيَ القُدُّوسُ حِينَ وَضعُوا عَتَباتَ بُيُوتِهِمْ بِجِوارِ عَتَبَتِي، وَحِينَ جَعَلُوا أُطُرَ أبوابِهِمْ بِجِوارِ إطارِ بابِي، وَحِينَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَفصِلُ بَينِي وَبَينُهُمْ سِوَى جِدارٍ، وَحِينَ كانُوا يَعمَلُونَ الأُمُورَ الرَّهِيبَةَ الَّتِي عَمِلُوها فَأغَضبُونِي بِها كَثِيراً حَتَّى أهلَكتُهُمْ!

9 N ow let them put away their fornication, and the carcases of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.

وَالآنَ، لِيُزِيلُوا زِناهُمْ وَجُثَثَ مُلُوكِهِمْ مِنْ أمامِي. حِينَئِذٍ، أسكُنُ فِي وَسَطِهِمْ إلَى الأبَدِ!»

10 T hou, son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be confounded at their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.

«يا إنْسانُ، كَلِّمْ بَني إسْرائِيلَ عَنِ الهَيكَلِ حَتَّى يَخجَلُوا وَيَتَذَلَّلُوا بِسَبَبِ الأُمُورِ الكَرِيهَةِ القَذِرَةِ الَّتِي عَمِلُوها، فَيَعمَلُوا مُخَطَّطاتٍ دَقِيقَةً لَهُ.

11 A nd if they be confounded at all that they have done, make known to them the form of the house, and its fashion, and its goings out, and its comings in, and all its forms, and all its statutes, yea, all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof; and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the statutes thereof, and do them.

فَإنْ خَجِلُوا وَتَذَلَّلُوا بِسَبَبِ الأُمُورِ الَّتِي عَمِلُوها. حِينَئِذٍ، سَيُمكِنُكَ أنْ تُخبِرهُمْ بِشَكلِ الهَيكَلِ وَمُخَطَّطاتِهِ وَمَداخِلِهِ وَمَخارِجِهِ وَكُلِّ القَواعِدِ وَالأنظِمَةِ الَّتِي تَتَعَلَّقُ بهِ، وَحِينَ تَكتُبُ هَذِهِ الأُمُورَ فِي وُجُودِهِمْ، فَإنَّهُمْ سَيَحفَظُونَ هَذِهِ الخُطَطَ وَالأنظِمَةَ وَيَعمَلُونَ بِها.

12 T his is the law of the house: Upon the top of the mountain all its border round about is most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.

وَهَذا هُوَ القانُونُ المُتَعَلِّقُ بِالهَيكَلِ: المِنطَقَةُ المُحِيطَةُ بِالهَيكَلِ عَلَى رَأسِ الجَبَلِ هِيَ قُدسُ الأقداسِ. هَذا هُوَ القانُونُ المُتَعَلِّقُ بِالهَيكَلِ!» المَذبَح

13 A nd these are the measures of the altar in cubits: the cubit is a cubit and a hand breadth. The bottom was a cubit and the breadth a cubit, and its border on the edge thereof round about, one span: and this was the base of the altar.

وَهَذِهِ هِيَ مَقايِيسُ المَذبَحِ، باستِخدامِ مِقياسِ الذِّراعِ الطَّوِيلَةِ – كُلُّ ذِراعٍ طَويلَةٍ تُعادِلُ ذِراعاً قَصِيرَةً وَشِبراً واحِداً. عُمقُ القَناةِ المُحِيطَةِ بِالمَذبَحِ ذِراعٌ وَعَرضُها ذِراعٌ. وَلَها حاشِيَةٌ عَرضُها شِبرٌ حَولَ حافَّةِ القَناةِ. تَقَعُ هَذِهِ القَناةُ أعلَى المَذبَحِ.

14 A nd from the bottom upon the ground to the lower settle was two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the small settle to the great settle, four cubits, and the breadth a cubit.

وَمِنَ القَناةِ الَّتِي عَلَى الأرْضِ إلَى أعلَى الحافَّةِ السُّفلَى لِلمَذبَحِ ذِراعان، وَعَرضُهُ ذِراعٌ. وَمِن تِلكَ الحافَّةِ الصُّغرَى إلَى أعلَى الحافَّةِ الكُبرَى أربَعُ أذرُعٍ، بِعَرضِ ذِراعٍ.

15 A nd the upper altar was four cubits; and from the hearth of God and upward were four horns.

وَكانَ المَوقِدُ بارتِفاعِ أربَعِ أذرُعٍ. وَتَخرُجُ مِنَ المَوقِدِ أربَعُ زَوايا تَتَّجِهُ إلَى الأعلَى.

16 A nd the hearth of God was twelve long, by twelve broad, square in the four sides thereof.

وَكانَ المَوقِدُ بِطُولِ اثنَتَي عَشْرَةَ ذِراعاً وَعَرضِ اثنَتَي عَشْرَةَ ذِراعاً. كانَ مُرَبَّعاً تَماماً.

17 A nd the settle was fourteen long by fourteen broad in the four sides thereof; and the border about it, half a cubit; and the bottom thereof a cubit round about: and its steps looked toward the east.

وَكانَتْ حافَّةُ المَوقِدِ مُرَبَّعَةٌ، بِطُولِ أربَعَ عَشْرةَ ذِراعاً وَعَرضِ أربَعَ عَشْرَةَ ذِراعاً. عَرضُ الحافَّةِ نِصفُ ذِراعٍ، وَعَرضُ القَناةِ المُحِيطَةِ بِالمَذبَحِ ذِراعاً. وَكانَتْ دَرَجاتُ المَذبَحِ تُواجِهُ الشَّرْقَ.

18 A nd he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer up burnt-offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.

حِينَئِذٍ، قالَ لِي المَلاكُ: «يا إنْسانُ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: ‹هَذِهِ هِيَ التَّعلِيماتُ المُختَصَّةُ بِالمَذبَحِ عِندَ صُنعِهِ لِتَقدِيمِ الذَّبائِحِ وَسَفْكِ الدَّمِ.

19 A nd thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that are of the seed of Zadok, who come near unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord Jehovah, a young bullock for a sin-offering.

يُقَدَّمُ ثَورٌ عُمْرُهُ سَنَةٌ واحِدَةٌ لِذَبِيْحَةِ الخَطِيَّةِ لِلكَهَنَةِ اللّاوِيِّينَ مِنْ نَسلِ صادُوقَ، فَهُمْ مَنْ يُسمَحُ لَهُمْ بِالِاقتِرابِ إلَيَّ لِخِدمَتِي. هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ.›»

20 A nd thou shalt take of its blood, and put it on the four horns thereof, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the border round about: so shalt thou purge and make atonement for it.

«وَهَكَذا تُطَهِّرُ المَذبَحَ وَتُكَفِّرُ عَنهُ: خُذْ مِنْ دَمِ الثَّورِ وَضَعهُ عَلَى القُرُونِ الأربَعَةِ لِلمَذبَحِ وَعَلَى الزَّوايا المَوصُولَةِ بِقَناتِهِ وَحافَّتِهِ.

21 A nd thou shalt take the bullock of the sin-offering, and it shall be burned in the appointed place of the house, outside the sanctuary.

ثُمَّ خُذْ ثَورَ ذَبِيحَةِ الخَطيَّةِ إلَى مَنْطَقَةٍ مَعْرُوفَةٍ مُعَيَّنَةٍ لِهَذا الغَرَضِ خارِجَ مِنطَقَةِ الهَيكَلِ وَأحْرِقهُ.

22 A nd on the second day thou shalt present a he-goat without blemish for a sin-offering; and they shall purge the altar, as they purged it with the bullock.

«وَقَدِّمْ فِي اليَومِ التّالِي تَيساً ذَكَراً لا عَيبَ فِيهِ ذَبِيْحَةَ خَطِيَّةٍ لِتَطهِيرِ المَذبَحِ، كَما عُمِلَ بِالثَّورِ.

23 W hen thou hast ended purging it, thou shalt present a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish;

وَحِينَ تَنتَهِي مِنَ التَّطهِيرِ، قَرّبْ عِجلاً وَكَبْشاً ذَكَراً لا عَيبَ فِيهِما،

24 a nd thou shalt present them before Jehovah; and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt-offering unto Jehovah.

وَأحضِرْهُما إلَى مَحْضَرِ اللهِ. حِينَئِذٍ، يَضَعُ الكَهَنَةُ مِلحاً عَلَيهِما، وَيُقَدِّمانِهِما ذَبِيحَتَينِ للهِ.

25 S even days shalt thou offer daily a goat for a sin-offering; they shall also offer a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.

عَلَيكَ أنْ تَعمَلَ هَذا لِسَبعَةِ أيّامٍ، فَيَكُونُ عَلَى الكَهَنَةِ تَقدِيمُ التَّيسِ ذَبِيحَةً عَنِ الخَطيَّةِ وَالعَجلِ وَالكَبْشِ الخالِيَةِ مِنَ العُيُوبِ.

26 S even days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify it, and consecrate it.

فَيَقُومُ بِتَطهِيرِ الهَيكَلِ لِسَبعَةِ أيّامٍ فَيُطَهِّرُونَهُ وَيُكَرِّسُونَهُ لِلخِدمَةِ.

27 A nd when these days are ended, it shall be that upon the eighth day and onwards the priests shall offer your burnt-offerings upon the altar, and your peace-offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord Jehovah.

وَحِينَ تَكتَمِلُ تِلكَ الفَترَةُ، فإنَّهُ مِنَ اليَومِ الثّامِنِ فَصاعِداً يُمكِنُ لِلكَهَنَةِ أنْ يَقَدِّمُوا الذَّبائِحَ الصَّاعِدَةَ وَذَبائِحَ السَّلامِ. حِينَئِذٍ، أرْضَى عَنكُمْ.» يَقُولُ الرّبُّ الإلَهُ.
