1 ث ُمَّ أخَذَنِي إلَى البَوّابَةِ الشَّرقِيَّةِ.

Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east:

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

And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.

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

And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw 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.

4 ث ُمَّ دَخَلَ مَجدُ اللهِ إلَى الهَيكَلِ عَبرَ البَوّابَةِ الشَّرقِيَّةِ.

And the glory of the Lord came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.

5 و َحِينَئذٍ رَفَعَنِي الرُّوحُ وَحَمَلَنِي إلَى السّاحَةِ الدّاخِلِيَّةِ. وَكانَ مَجدُ اللهِ يَملأُ الهَيكَلَ.

So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house.

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

And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood by me.

7 « 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.

And 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 my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places.

8 ف قَدْ 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!

In their setting of their threshold by my thresholds, and their post by my posts, and the wall between me and them, they have even defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger.

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

Now let them put away their whoredom, and the carcases of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.

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

Thou son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern.

11 ف َإنْ 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.

And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, shew them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and 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 ordinances thereof, and do them.

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

This is the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.

13 و َهَذِهِ 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.

And these are the measures of the altar after the cubits: The cubit is a cubit and an hand breadth; even the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about shall be a span: and this shall be the higher place of the altar.

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

And from the bottom upon the ground even to the lower settle shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser settle even to the greater settle shall be four cubits, and the breadth one cubit.

15 و َكانَ المَوقِدُ بارتِفاعِ أربَعِ أذرُعٍ. وَتَخرُجُ مِنَ المَوقِدِ أربَعُ زَوايا تَتَّجِهُ إلَى الأعلَى.

So the altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar and upward shall be four horns.

16 و َكانَ المَوقِدُ بِطُولِ اثنَتَي عَشْرَةَ ذِراعاً وَعَرضِ اثنَتَي عَشْرَةَ ذِراعاً. كانَ مُرَبَّعاً تَماماً.

And the altar shall be twelve cubits long, twelve broad, square in the four squares thereof.

17 و َكانَتْ 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.

And the settle shall be fourteen cubits long and fourteen broad in the four squares thereof; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and the bottom thereof shall be a cubit about; and his stairs shall look toward the east.

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

And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord God; These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.

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

And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that be of the seed of Zadok, which approach unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord God, a young bullock for a sin offering.

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

And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the border round about: thus shalt thou cleanse and purge it.

21 ث ُمَّ خُذْ ثَورَ ذَبِيحَةِ الخَطيَّةِ إلَى مَنْطَقَةٍ مَعْرُوفَةٍ مُعَيَّنَةٍ لِهَذا الغَرَضِ خارِجَ مِنطَقَةِ الهَيكَلِ وَأحْرِقهُ.

Thou shalt take the bullock also of the sin offering, and he shall burn it in the appointed place of the house, without the sanctuary.

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

And on the second day thou shalt offer a kid of the goats without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they did cleanse it with the bullock.

23 و َحِينَ تَنتَهِي مِنَ التَّطهِيرِ، قَرّبْ عِجلاً وَكَبْشاً ذَكَراً لا عَيبَ فِيهِما،

When thou hast made an end of cleansing it, thou shalt offer a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.

24 و َأحضِرْهُما إلَى مَحْضَرِ اللهِ. حِينَئِذٍ، يَضَعُ الكَهَنَةُ مِلحاً عَلَيهِما، وَيُقَدِّمانِهِما ذَبِيحَتَينِ للهِ.

And thou shalt offer them before the Lord, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering unto the Lord.

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

Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat for a sin offering: they shall also prepare a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish.

26 ف َيَقُومُ بِتَطهِيرِ الهَيكَلِ لِسَبعَةِ أيّامٍ فَيُطَهِّرُونَهُ وَيُكَرِّسُونَهُ لِلخِدمَةِ.

Seven days shall they purge the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate themselves.

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

And when these days are expired, it shall be, that upon the eighth day, and so forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings upon the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord God.
