1 T hus says the Lord Yahweh: The gate of the inner court that looks 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.

هَذا 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.

2 T he prince shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate outside, and shall stand by the post of the gate; and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go out; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.

ثُمَّ 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.

3 T he people of the land shall worship at the door of that gate before Yahweh on the Sabbaths and on the new moons.

وَسَيَركَعُ الشَّعبُ فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ عِندَ هَذِهِ البَوّابَةِ فِي السُّبُوتِ وَأوائِلِ الشُّهُورِ.

4 T he burnt offering that the prince shall offer to Yahweh shall be on the Sabbath day six lambs without defect and a ram without defect;

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

5 a nd the meal offering shall be an ephah for the ram, and the meal offering for the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

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

6 O n the day of the new moon it shall be a young bull without defect, and six lambs, and a ram; they shall be without defect:

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

7 a nd he shall prepare a meal offering, an ephah for the bull, and an ephah for the ram, and for the lambs according as he is able, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

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

8 W hen the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and he shall go out by its way.

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

9 B ut when the people of the land shall come before Yahweh in the appointed feasts, he who enters by the way of the north gate to worship shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he who enters 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.

وَحِينَ 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.

10 T he prince, when they go in, shall go in with of them; and when they go out, he shall go out.

وَيَدخُلُ الرَّئِيسُ مَعَ الشَّعبِ، وَحِينَ يُغادِرُونَ يُغادِرُ مَعَهُمْ.

11 I n the feasts and in the solemnities the meal offering shall be an ephah for a bull, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

«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.

12 W hen the prince shall prepare a freewill offering, a burnt offering or peace offerings as a freewill offering to Yahweh, one shall open for him the gate that looks toward the east; and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he does on the Sabbath day: then he shall go out; and after his going out one shall shut the gate.

وَإنْ 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

13 Y ou shall prepare a lamb a year old without defect for a burnt offering to Yahweh daily: morning by morning you shall prepare it.

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

14 Y ou shall prepare a meal offering with it morning by morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of a hin of oil, to moisten the fine flour; a meal offering to Yahweh continually by a perpetual ordinance.

وَقَدِّمْ 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.

15 T hus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meal offering, and the oil, morning by morning, for a continual burnt offering.

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

16 T hus says the Lord Yahweh: If the prince give a gift to any of his sons, it is his inheritance, it shall belong to his sons; it is their possession by inheritance.

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

17 B ut if he give of his inheritance a gift to one of his servants, it shall be his to the year of liberty; then it shall return to the prince; but as for his inheritance, it shall be for his sons.

وَلَكِنْ 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.

18 M oreover the prince shall not take of the people’s inheritance, to thrust them out of their possession; he shall give inheritance to his sons out of his own possession, that my people not be scattered every man from his possession.

وَلا 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

19 T hen he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy rooms for the priests, which looked toward the north: and behold, there was a place on the hinder part westward.

ثُمَّ 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.

20 H e said to me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, and where they shall bake the meal offering; that they not bring them out into the outer court, to sanctify the people.

فَقالَ 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.»

21 T hen he brought me out 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.

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

22 I n the four corners of the court there were courts enclosed, forty cubits long and thirty wide: these four in the corners were of one measure.

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

23 T here was a wall around in them, around the four, and boiling places were made under the walls all around.

وَحَولَ كُلِّ واحِدَةٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ المَناطِقِ، كانَ هُناكَ سُورٌ مُنخَفِضٌ، وَفِيها أماكِنُ لِلطَّبخِ.

24 T hen he said to me, These are the boiling houses, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.

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