1 L uego el hombre me sacó al atrio exterior, hacia el norte, y me llevó a la cámara que estaba frente a la zona separada y frente al edificio hacia el norte.

Then he brought me to the outside open space toward the north. He brought me to the rooms which were on the other side of the open space and the building to the north.

2 A lo largo de la longitud, que era de 52. 5 metros, estaba la puerta del norte; la anchura era de 26. 25 metros.

The building whose door faced north was as long as 100 cubits and as wide as fifty cubits.

3 F rente a los 10. 5 metros del atrio interior, y frente al pavimento del atrio exterior, había una galería frente a la otra galería en los tres pisos.

Over from the place in the inner open space which was as wide as twenty cubits, and over from the stone floor in the outer open space, was a walkway on the three floors, one above the other.

4 Y delante de las cámaras había un corredor interior de 5. 25 metros de ancho, una vía de 52. 5 metros; y sus entradas daban al norte.

In front of the rooms was an inside walkway as wide as ten cubits and as long as 100 cubits. Their doors were on the north.

5 L as cámaras superiores eran más estrechas porque las galerías les quitaban más espacio que a las inferiores y a las intermedias del edificio.

The upper rooms were smaller because the walkways took more away from them than from the rooms on the first and second floors of the building.

6 P ues estaban en tres pisos y no tenían pilares como los pilares de los atrios; por tanto las cámaras superiores se estrechaban a partir del suelo más que las inferiores y las intermedias.

For the rooms on all three floors had no pillars like the other buildings on the grounds. So the upper rooms were smaller than the ones on the first and second floors.

7 E l muro exterior a lo largo de las cámaras, en dirección al atrio exterior frente a las cámaras, tenía 26. 25 metros de largo.

There was an outside wall built beside the rooms toward the outer open space. It was in front of the rooms for fifty cubits.

8 P orque la longitud de las cámaras que estaban en el atrio exterior era de 26. 25 metros; y las que estaban frente al templo tenían 52. 5 metros.

The rooms next to the outer open space were as long as fifty cubits, and those over from the Lord’s house were as long as 100 cubits.

9 Y debajo de estas cámaras estaba la entrada del lado oriental, para entrar en ellas desde el atrio exterior.

Below these rooms was a door on the east side, as one goes into them from the outer open space.

10 A lo ancho del muro del atrio hacia el oriente, frente a la zona separada y frente al edificio, había cámaras.

There were rooms in the width of the wall of the open space toward the east, over from the other open space and the other building.

11 E l corredor delante de ellas era semejante al de las cámaras que estaban al norte; su longitud era igual a su anchura; y todas sus salidas, así como sus disposiciones y sus entradas, eran iguales.

These rooms had a walkway in front of them, and they were like the rooms on the north. They had the same length and width. The ways out of them were the same, and the doors were made the same way.

12 Y correspondiendo a las entradas de las cámaras que daban hacia el sur, había una entrada al comienzo del corredor, el corredor frente al muro que daba al oriente, según se entra a ellas.

And like the doors of the rooms on the south side, there was a door at the beginning of the walkway in front of the wall toward the east, as one goes into them.

13 E ntonces el hombre me dijo: “Las cámaras del norte y las cámaras del sur que están frente a la zona separada, son las cámaras santas donde los sacerdotes que están cerca del Señor, comerán las cosas santísimas. Allí pondrán las cosas santísimas, la ofrenda de cereal, la ofrenda por el pecado y la ofrenda por la culpa; porque el lugar es santo.

Then he said to me, “The north rooms and the south rooms, over from the other open space, are the holy rooms where the religious leaders who go near the Lord eat the most holy things. There they will lay the most holy things, the grain gift, the sin gift, and the guilt gift. For the place is holy.

14 C uando entren los sacerdotes allí, no saldrán al atrio exterior desde el santuario sin haber dejado las vestiduras con que ministran, porque son santas. Se pondrán otras vestiduras para poder acercarse a lo que es del pueblo.”

When the religious leaders go in, they are not to go out into the outer open space from the holy place without leaving behind the clothes they wear while they do the Lord’s work, for these are holy. They must put on other clothes before they go near the places that are for the people.”

15 C uando acabó de medir el interior del templo, me sacó por el camino de la puerta que daba al oriente, y lo midió todo alrededor.

When he had finished showing me the lengths and widths of the inner house, he brought me out through the east gate. And he showed me the lengths of all the open space around the house.

16 M idió el lado oriental con la caña de medir, y tenía 262. 5 metros con la caña de medir.

He showed me with his stick that the east side was as long as 500 sticks.

17 M idió el lado norte con la caña de medir, y tenía 262. 5 metros.

The north side was as long as 500 sticks.

18 A l lado sur midió 262. 5 metros con la caña de medir.

The south side was as long as 500 sticks.

19 S e volvió al lado occidental y midió 262. 5 metros con la caña de medir.

And the west side was as long as 500 sticks.

20 P or los cuatro lados lo midió; tenía un muro todo alrededor de 262. 5 metros de largo y 262. 5 metros de ancho, para dividir entre lo sagrado y lo profano.

He showed me the length of the four sides. It had a wall all around it, as long as 500 sticks and as wide as 500 sticks. This wall divided what was holy from what was not.
