1 ه َذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: «ستَبقَى البَوّابَةُ الشَّرقِيَّةُ، الَّتِي تَقُودُ إلَى السّاحَةِ الدّاخِلِيَّةِ، مُغلَقَةً طِيلَةَ سِتَّةِ أيّامِ العَمَلِ فِي الأُسبُوعِ، لَكِنَّها سَتُفتَحُ فِي السُّبُوتِ وَأوائِلِ الشُّهُورِ.

Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut 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 ث ُمَّ سَيَدخُلُ الرَّئِيسُ البَوّابَةَ مِنَ الخارِجِ عَبرَ الدِّهلِيزِ، وَسَيَقِفُ فِي مَدخَلِ البَوّابَةِ. وَسَيَقُومُ الكَهَنَةُ بِتَقدِيمِ الذَّبائِحِ الصَّاعِدَةِ وَذَبائِحِ السَّلامِ الَّتِي تَخُصُّهُ. حِينَئِذٍ، سَيَركَعُ عَلَى عَتَبَةِ البَوّابَةِ وَيُغادِرُ، وَلَكِنَّ البَوّابَةَ لا تُغلَقُ حَتَّى المَساءِ.

And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of gate from without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall offer his burnt-offering and his peace-offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate, and shall go forth: but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.

3 و َسَيَركَعُ الشَّعبُ فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ عِندَ هَذِهِ البَوّابَةِ فِي السُّبُوتِ وَأوائِلِ الشُّهُورِ.

And the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before Jehovah on the sabbaths and on the new moons.

4 « وَسَيَكُونُ عَلَى الرَّئِيسِ أنْ يُقَدِّمَ أيّامَ السَّبتِ سِتَّةَ خِرافٍ وَكَبْشاً لا عَيبَ فِيها ذَبيحَةً صاعِدَةً للهِ.

And the burnt-offering that the prince shall present unto Jehovah on the sabbath-day shall be six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish.

5 و َتُقَدَّمُ مَعَ الكَبْشِ قُفَّةٌ مِنَ القَمحِ. وَأمّا تَقدِمَةُ القَمحِ المُرافِقَةِ لِلخِراف فَتَكُونُ بِقَدرِ ما يُرِيدُ. وَيَنْبَغِي تَقدِيمُ وِعاءٍ مِنَ الزَّيتِ لِكُلِّ قُفَّةٍ مِنَ القَمحِ.

And the oblation shall be an ephah for a ram, and the oblation for the lambs as he shall be able to give; and oil, a hin for an ephah.

6 « أمّا فِي اليَومِ الأوَّلِ مِنَ الشَّهرِ، فَيَنْبَغِي تَقدِيمُ ثَورٍ وَسِتَّةَ خِرافٍ وَكَبْشٍ لا عَيبَ فِيهِمْ.

And on the day of the new moon, a young bullock without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram: they shall be without blemish.

7 و َتُقَدَّمُ قُفَّةُ قَمحٍ لِلثَّورِ وَقُفَّةٌ لِلكَبْشِ، وَقَدرُ ما يُرِيدُ لِلخِرافِ. يَنْبَغِي تَقدِيمُ وِعاءٍ مِنَ الزَّيتِ لِكُلِّ قُفَّةٍ مِنَ القَمحِ.

And he shall offer an oblation, an ephah for the bullock, and an ephah for the ram, and for the lambs according to what his hand may attain unto; and oil, a hin for an ephah.

8 « وَيَدخُلُ الرَّئِيسُ عَبرَ قاعَةِ البَوّابَةِ الشَّرقِيَّةِ، وَسَيَخرُجُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ ذاتِها.

And when the prince cometh in, he shall come in by the way of the porch of the gate, and he shall go out by the way thereof.

9 و َحِينَ يَأتِي النّاسُ لِلرُّكُوعِ فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ فِي التَّجَمُّعاتِ الدِّينِيَّةِ وَالأعيادِ، فَالَّذِينَ يَدخُلُونَ السّاحَةَ الخارِجِيَّةَ مِنَ البَوّابَةِ الشَّمالِيَّةِ عَلَيهِمْ أنْ يَخرُجُوا مِنَ البَوّابَةِ الجَنُوبِيَّةِ. فَلا يَخرُجُوا مِنَ البَوّابَةِ الَّتِي دَخَلُوا مِنها، بَلْ مِنَ البَوّابَةِ المُقابِلةِ.

And when the people of the land come in before Jehovah in the set feasts, he that cometh in by the way of the north gate to worship shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that cometh 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 by which he came in, but shall go out straight before him.

10 و َيَدخُلُ الرَّئِيسُ مَعَ الشَّعبِ، وَحِينَ يُغادِرُونَ يُغادِرُ مَعَهُمْ.

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

11 « وَفِي الأعيادِ، تَقَدَّمُ قُفَّةُ قَمحٍ مَعَ كُلِّ ثَورٍ، وَقُفَّةُ قَمحٍ مَعَ كُلِّ كَبْشٍ، وَوَقَدرُ ما يُرِيدُ مَعَ كُلِّ خَرُوفٍ، بِالإضافَةِ إلَى وِعاءٍ واحِدٍ مِنَ الزَّيتِ لِكُلِّ قُفَّةٍ.

And on the feast-days, and in the solemnities, the oblation shall be an ephah for a bullock and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs as he is able to give; and oil, a hin for an ephah.

12 و َإنْ أرادَ الرَّئِيسُ تَقدِيمَ ذَبِيحَةٍ اختِيارِيَّةٍ أوْ ذَبيحَةٍ صاعِدَةٍ أوْ ذَبِيحَةِ سَلامٍ للهِ ، تُفتَحُ لَهُ البَوّابَةُ الشَّرقِيَّةُ لِيُقَدِّمَ ذَبِيحَتَهُ وَتَقدِمَتَهُ، كَما يُعمَلُ يَومَ السَّبتِ، وَتُغلَقُ حِينَ يَنتَهِي مِنْ تَقدِيمِ تَقدِمَتِهِ وَيَخرُجُ. التَّقدِمَةُ اليَومِيَّة

And when the prince shall offer a voluntary burnt-offering or voluntary peace-offerings unto Jehovah, the gate that looketh toward the east shall be opened for him and he shall offer his burnt-offering and his peace-offerings as he did on the sabbath-day, and he shall go out again, and the gate shall be shut after he hath gone out.

13 « وَلِلتَّقدِمَةِ اليَومِيَّةِ الصَّباحِيَّةِ، قَدِّمْ للهِ خَرُوفاً عُمرُهُ سَنَةٌ لا عَيبَ فِيهِ.

And thou shalt daily offer a burnt-offering unto Jehovah, of a yearling-lamb without blemish: thou shalt prepare it morning by morning.

14 و َقَدِّمْ فِي كُلِّ صَباحٍ تَقدِمَةَ قَمحٍ مَعَ الخَرُوفِ: سُدسَ قُفَّةٍ مِنْ دَقِيقِ القَمحِ مَعَ ثُلُثِ وِعاءٍ مِنَ الزَّيتِ لِتَرطِيبِهِ. هَذِهِ هِيّ تَقدِمَةُ القَمحِ للهِ ، بِحَسبِ قَواعِدِ التَّقدِماتِ اليَوميَّةِ.

And thou shalt prepare an oblation with it every morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and of oil the third part of a hin, to moisten the fine flour: an oblation unto Jehovah continually by a perpetual ordinance.

15 و َيُقَدِّمُ الكَهَنَةُ الخَرُوفَ وَتَقدِمَةَ القَمحِ وَالزَّيتِ فِي كُلِّ صَباحٍ كَتَقدِمَةٍ يَومِيَّةٍ مُنتَظَمَةٍ.» أحكامُ المِيراثِ للِرَّئِيس

They shall offer the lamb, and the oblation, and the oil, every morning for a continual burnt-offering.

16 ه َذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: «إنْ أعطَى الرَّئِيسُ قِطعَةَ أرْضٍ مِنْ أملاكِهِ عَطِيَّةً لِأحَدِ أبنائِهِ، فَإنَّ الأرْضَ تَكُونُ لِذَلِكَ الِابنِ مِيراثاً وَمُلكاً دائِماً.

Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: If the prince give a gift unto any of his sons, it shall be that one's inheritance, for his sons: it shall be their possession by inheritance.

17 و َلَكِنْ إنْ أعطَى الرَّئِيسُ قِطعَةَ أرْضٍ مِنْ أملاكِهِ لِأحَدِ خُدّامِهِ، تَكُونُ تِلكَ الأرْضُ لِهَذا الخادِمِ حَتَّى سَنَةِ التَّحرِيرِ. وَتَعُودُ الأرْضُ إلَى الرَّئِيسِ فِي تِلكَ السَّنَةِ. وَأمّا الأرْضُ الَّتِي تُعطَى لِأبنائِهِ، فَإنَّها سَتَكُونُ لِأبنائِهِ مُلْكاً وَمِيراثاً دائِماً.

But if he give a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants, it shall be his until the year of liberty; and it shall return to the prince: to his sons alone shall his inheritance remain.

18 و َلا يَجُوزُ أنْ يَستَولِي الرَّئِيسُ عَلَى أرْضٍ مِنَ الشَّعبِ، أوْ أنْ يَطرَدَ أهلَها مِنْها. لَكِنَّهُ يَقسِمُ لِأولادِهِ مِنْ أرْضِهِ هُوَ، فَلا يُحرَمُ أحَدٌ مِنْ شَعبِي مِنْ أرْضِهِ.» مَطابِخُ الهَيكَل

And the prince shall not take of the people's inheritance, to thrust them by oppression out of their possession: he shall give his sons an inheritance out of his own possession: that my people be not scattered every one from his possession.

19 ث ُمَّ أحضَرَنِي الرَّجُلُ عَبرَ المَدخَلِ الواقِعِ إلَى جانِبِ البَوّابَةِ إلَى حُجُراتِ الكَهَنَةِ المُقَدَّسَةِ الَّتِي فِي الجِهَةِ الشَّمالِيَّةِ. فَلاحَظتُ وُجُودَ مَكانٍ فِي أقصَى الغَربِ فِي مِنطَقَةِ الهَيكَلِ.

Then he brought me through the passage which was at the side of the gate, into the holy cells which were for the priests, which looked toward the north; and behold, a place was there at the end westward.

20 ف َقالَ لِي: «هَذا المَكانُ الَّذِي يُمكِنُ لِلكَهَنَةِ أنْ يَطبُخُوا فِيهِ ذَبائِحَ الذَّنبِ وَذَبائِحَ الخَطيَّةِ، وَأنْ يَخبِزُوا تَقدِماتِ الحُبُوبِ مِنْ دُونِ الخُرُوجِ إلَى السّاحَةِ الخارِجِيَّةِ، حَتَّى لا تَتَعَرَّضَ الأدَواتِ لِلتَدنِيسِ بِسَبَبِ لَمسِ النّاسِ لَها.»

And he said unto me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass-offering, and the sin-offering, where they shall bake the oblation, that they bring them not out into the outer court, so as to hallow the people.

21 ث ُمَّ أخرَجَنِي إلَى السّاحَةِ الخارِجِيَّةِ، وَأخَذَنِي إلَى أربَعِ زَوايا السّاحَةِ الخارِجِيَّةِ، حَيثُ تُوجَدُ مِنطَقَةٌ مُغلَقَةٌ عِندَ كُلِّ زاوِيَةٍ.

And he brought me forth into the outer court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and behold, in every corner of the court there was a court.

22 ف َفِي كُلِّ زاويَةٍ، كانَتْ هُناكَ مِنطَقَةٌ مُغلَقَةٌ طُولُها أربَعُونَ ذِراعاً وَعَرْضُها ثَلاثُونَ ذِراعاً، وَهَذا يَنطَبِقُ عَلَى الأربَعِ زَوايا.

In the four corners of the court there were enclosed courts, forty long and thirty broad: these four corner courts were of one measure.

23 و َحَولَ كُلِّ واحِدَةٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ المَناطِقِ، كانَ هُناكَ سُورٌ مُنخَفِضٌ، وَفِيها أماكِنُ لِلطَّبخِ.

And there was a row round about in them, round about those four, and it was made with boiling places under the rows round about.

24 ف َقالَ لِي الرَّجُلُ: «فِي هَذِهِ المَطابِخِ يَقُومُ اللّاوِيُّونَ خُدّامُ الهَيكَلِ بِإعدادِ ذَبائِحِ الشَّعبِ وَطَبخِها.»

And he said unto me, These are the boiling-houses, where those who do the service of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.
