1 N o início do vigésimo quinto ano do exílio, no início do ano, no décimo dia do mês, no décimo quarto ano depois da queda da cidade, naquele exato dia a mão do Senhor esteve sobre mim e ele me levou para lá.

It was the twenty-fifth year since the people of Israel were taken away to a strange land, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth of the month, and fourteen years since Jerusalem was taken in battle. On that day the hand of the Lord was upon me and He brought me there.

2 E m visões de Deus ele me levou a Israel e me pôs num monte muito alto, sobre o qual, no lado sul, havia alguns prédios que tinham a aparência de uma cidade.

In a special way God brought me into the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain. There were some buildings on its south side that looked like a city.

3 E le me levou para lá, e eu vi um homem que parecia de bronze; ele estava em pé junto à entrada, tendo em sua mão uma corda de linho e uma vara de medir.

He took me there, and I saw a man who looked like he was made of brass. In his hand was a linen rope and a stick to find how long something is. He was standing at the gate.

4 E ele me disse: “Filho do homem, fixe bem os olhos e procure ouvir bem, e preste atenção a tudo o que vou lhe mostrar, pois para isso você foi trazido aqui. Conte à nação de Israel tudo o que você vai ver”. A Porta Oriental

And the man said to me, “Son of man, look with your eyes, hear with your ears, and think about all I am going to show you. For you have been brought here so that I may show it to you. Tell the people of Israel everything you see.” The East Gate

5 V i um muro que cercava completamente a área do templo. O comprimento da vara de medir na mão do homem era de seis medidas longas, cada uma com meio metro. Ele mediu o muro, que tinha três metros de espessura e três de altura.

I saw a wall all around the outside of the house of the Lord. The stick in the man’s hand was six cubits long (with the width of a hand being added to the length of each arm). And with it he showed that the wall was one stick wide and one stick high.

6 D epois ele foi até a porta que dá para o oriente. Subiu os seus degraus e mediu a soleira da porta, que tinha três metros de extensão.

Then he went up the steps of the east gate, and showed me with his stick that the gateway was one stick wide, and the other gate was also one stick wide.

7 A s salas dos guardas tinham três metros de comprimento e três metros de largura, e as paredes entre elas tinham dois metros e meio de espessura. A soleira da porta junto ao pórtico, defronte do templo, tinha três metros de extensão.
