Prophetia Ezechielis

Ezechielis, chapter 40, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 40 Vulgate

   1 In vicesimo et quinto anno transmigrationis nostrae, in exordio anni, decima mensis, quarto decimo anno, postquam percussa est civitas, in ipsa hac die facta est super me manus Domini et adduxit me illuc.
   2 In visionibus Dei adduxit me in terram Israel et posuit me super montem excelsum nimis, super quem erat quasi aedificium civitatis ad austrum.
   3 Et introduxit me illuc; et ecce vir, cuius erat species quasi species aeris, et funiculus lineus in manu eius, et calamus mensurae in manu eius, stabat autem in porta.
   4 Et locutus est ad me idem vir: "Fili hominis, vide oculis tuis et auribus tuis audi et pone cor tuum in omnia, quae ego ostendam tibi, quia ut ostendantur tibi, adductus es huc; annuntia omnia, quae tu vides, domui Israel".
   5 Et ecce murus forinsecus in circuitu domus undique, et in manu viri calamus mensurae sex cubitorum, qui habebant cubitum et palmum; et mensus est latitudinem aedificii calamo uno, altitudinem quoque calamo uno.
   6 Et venit ad portam, quae respiciebat viam orientalem, et ascendit per gradus eius et mensus est limen portae calamo uno latitudinem
   7 et cubiculum uno calamo in longum et uno calamo in latum et inter cubicula quinque cubitos et limen portae iuxta vestibulum portae intrinsecus calamo uno.
   8 Et mensus est vestibulum portae
   9 octo cubitorum et postem eius duobus cubitis; vestibulum autem portae erat intrinsecus.
   10 Porro cubicula portae ad viam orientalem, tria hinc et tria inde, mensura una trium et mensura una postium ex utraque parte.
   11 Et mensus est latitudinem ostii portae decem cubitorum et longitudinem portae tredecim cubitorum,
   12 et saeptum ante cubicula cubiti unius utrimque; cubicula autem sex cubitorum erant hinc et inde.
   13 Et mensus est portam a tecto cubiculi usque ad tectum eius a contra, latitudinem viginti et quinque cubitorum, ostium contra ostium,
   14 et a facie ingressus portae usque ad faciem vestibuli portae intrinsecus, quinquaginta cubitos.
   15:00
   16 Et erant fenestrae marginatae in cubiculis et in postibus intra portam undique per circuitum; similiter autem erant et in vestibulo fenestrae per gyrum intrinsecus, et ante postes pictura palmarum.
   17 Et eduxit me ad atrium exterius, et ecce exedrae et pavimentum stratum lapide in atrio per circuitum, triginta exedrae in circuitu pavimenti;
   18 et pavimentum ad latus portarum secundum longitudinem portarum; hoc erat pavimentum inferius.
   19 Et mensus est latitudinem a facie portae inferioris usque ad frontem portae interioris extrinsecus, centum cubitos. Sic oriens. Et sic aquilo.
   20 Portam quoque, quae respiciebat viam aquilonis atrii exterioris, mensus est, tam in longitudine quam in latitudine;
   21 et cubicula eius, tria hinc et tria inde, et postes eius et vestibulum eius secundum mensuram portae prioris; quinquaginta cubitorum longitudo eius et latitudo viginti quinque cubitorum.
   22 Et fenestrae vestibuli eius et sculpturae palmarum secundum mensuram portae, quae respiciebat ad orientem; et septem graduum erat ascensus eius, et vestibulum intrinsecus.
   23 Et porta atrii interioris contra portam aquilonis sicut in porta orientali; et mensus est a porta usque ad portam centum cubitos.
   24 Et duxit me ad viam australem, et ecce porta, quae respiciebat ad austrum; et mensus est postes eius et vestibulum eius iuxta mensuras superiores.
   25 Et fenestrae eius et vestibuli in circuitu sicut fenestrae ceterae; quinquaginta cubitorum longitudo erat et latitudo viginti quinque cubitorum.
   26 Et in gradibus septem ascendebatur ad eam, et vestibulum erat intrinsecus, et caelatae palmae erant, una hinc et altera inde, in postibus eius.
   27 Et porta erat atrio interiori in via australi, et mensus est a porta usque ad portam in via australi centum cubitos.
   28 Et introduxit me in atrium interius per portam australem et mensus est portam iuxta mensuras superiores;
   29 cubicula eius et postes eius, et vestibulum eius eisdem mensuris; et fenestrae erant ei et vestibulo eius in circuitu. Quinquaginta cubitorum longitudo erat et latitudo viginti quinque cubitorum.
   30 Et vestibulum eius respiciebat ad atrium exterius, et palmae in postibus eius, et octo gradus erant, quibus ascendebatur ad eam.
   31:00
   32 Et introduxit me in atrium interius per viam orientalem et mensus est portam secundum mensuras superiores;
   33 cubicula eius et postes eius et vestibulum eius sicut supra; et fenestrae erant ei et vestibulo eius in circuitu. Longitudo erat quinquaginta cubitorum et latitudo viginti quinque cubitorum.
   34 Et vestibulum eius respiciebat ad atrium exterius, et palmae caelatae in postibus eius hinc et inde et in octo gradibus ascensus eius.
   35 Et introduxit me ad portam, quae respiciebat ad aquilonem, et mensus est secundum mensuras superiores
   36 cubicula eius et postes eius et vestibulum eius; et fenestrae ei erant per circuitum. Longitudo quinquaginta cubitorum erat et latitudo viginti quinque cubitorum.
   37 Et vestibulum eius respiciebat ad atrium exterius, et caelatura palmarum in postibus illius hinc et inde et in octo gradibus ascensus eius.
   38 Et erat exedra, cuius ostium in vestibulo portae; ibi lavabunt holocaustum.
   39 Et in vestibulo portae duae mensae hinc et duae mensae inde, ut mactetur super eas holocaustum et pro peccato et pro delicto.
   40 Et ad latus extra vestibulum ad ostium portae, quae respicit ad aquilonem, duae mensae; et ad la tus alterum vestibuli portae duae mensae.
   41 Quattuor mensae hinc et quattuor mensae inde ad latus portae: octo mensae erant, super quas mactabunt.
   42a Quattuor autem mensae ad holocaustum de lapidibus quadris exstructae longitudine cubiti unius et dimidii et latitudine cubiti unius et dimidii et altitudine cubiti unius,
   43a et labia palmi unius reflexa intrinsecus per circuitum;
   42b super ista ponant vasa, quibus mactetur holocaustum et victima,
   43b super mensas autem carnes oblationis.
   44 Et extra portam interiorem exedrae duae, in atrio interiori; una erat in latere portae respicientis ad aquilonem, et facies eius contra viam australem, et una ex latere portae australis, quae respiciebat ad viam aquilonis.
   45 Et dixit ad me: "Haec est exedra, quae respicit viam meridianam; sacerdotum erit, qui excubant in custodiis templi.
   46 Porro exedra, quae respicit ad viam aquilonis, sacerdotum erit, qui excubant ad ministerium altaris: isti sunt filii Sadoc, qui accedunt de filiis Levi ad Dominum, ut ministrent ei".
   47 Et mensus est atrium longitudine centum cubitorum et latitudine centum cubitorum per quadrum. Altare autem erat ante faciem templi.
   48 Et introduxit me in vestibulum templi; et mensus est postes vestibuli quinque cubitis hinc et quinque cubitis inde et latitudinem portae quattuordecim cubitorum et latera portae trium cubitorum hinc et trium cubitorum inde;
   49 longitudinem autem vestibuli viginti cubitorum et latitudinem duodecim cubitorum, et decem gradibus ascendebatur ad illud, et columnae erant in postibus, una hinc et altera inde.

King James Version

   1 In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and brought me thither.
   2 In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a city on the south.
   3 And he brought me thither, and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.
   4 And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee; for to the intent that I might shew them unto thee art thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.
   5 And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits long by the cubit and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.
   6 ¶ Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east, and went up the stairs thereof, and measured the threshold of the gate, which was one reed broad; and the other threshold of the gate, which was one reed broad.
   7 And every little chamber was one reed long, and one reed broad; and between the little chambers were five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within was one reed.
   8 He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed.
   9 Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was inward.
   10 And the little chambers of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side.
   11 And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.
   12 The space also before the little chambers was one cubit on this side, and the space was one cubit on that side: and the little chambers were six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.
   13 He measured then the gate from the roof of one little chamber to the roof of another: the breadth was five and twenty cubits, door against door.
   14 He made also posts of threescore cubits, even unto the post of the court round about the gate.
   15 And from the face of the gate of the entrance unto the face of the porch of the inner gate were fifty cubits.
   16 And there were narrow windows to the little chambers, and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches: and windows were round about inward: and upon each post were palm trees.
   17 Then brought he me into the outward court, and, lo, there were chambers, and a pavement made for the court round about: thirty chambers were upon the pavement.
   18 And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the length of the gates was the lower pavement.
   19 Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate unto the forefront of the inner court without, an hundred cubits eastward and northward.
   20 ¶ And the gate of the outward court that looked toward the north, he measured the length thereof, and the breadth thereof.
   21 And the little chambers thereof were three on this side and three on that side; and the posts thereof and the arches thereof were after the measure of the first gate: the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
   22 And their windows, and their arches, and their palm trees, were after the measure of the gate that looketh toward the east; and they went up unto it by seven steps; and the arches thereof were before them.
   23 And the gate of the inner court was over against the gate toward the north, and toward the east; and he measured from gate to gate an hundred cubits.
   24 ¶ After that he brought me toward the south, and behold a gate toward the south: and he measured the posts thereof and the arches thereof according to these measures.
   25 And there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about, like those windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
   26 And there were seven steps to go up to it, and the arches thereof were before them: and it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon the posts thereof.
   27 And there was a gate in the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south an hundred cubits.
   28 And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he measured the south gate according to these measures;
   29 And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, according to these measures: and there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about: it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
   30 And the arches round about were five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad.
   31 And the arches thereof were toward the utter court; and palm trees were upon the posts thereof: and the going up to it had eight steps.
   32 ¶ And he brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the gate according to these measures.
   33 And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, were according to these measures: and there were windows therein and in the arches thereof round about: it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
   34 And the arches thereof were toward the outward court; and palm trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up to it had eight steps.
   35 ¶ And he brought me to the north gate, and measured it according to these measures;
   36 The little chambers thereof, the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, and the windows to it round about: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
   37 And the posts thereof were toward the utter court; and palm trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up to it had eight steps.
   38 And the chambers and the entries thereof were by the posts of the gates, where they washed the burnt offering.
   39 ¶ And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slay thereon the burnt offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering.
   40 And at the side without, as one goeth up to the entry of the north gate, were two tables; and on the other side, which was at the porch of the gate, were two tables.
   41 Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon they slew their sacrifices.
   42 And the four tables were of hewn stone for the burnt offering, of a cubit and an half long, and a cubit and an half broad, and one cubit high: whereupon also they laid the instruments wherewith they slew the burnt offering and the sacrifice.
   43 And within were hooks, an hand broad, fastened round about: and upon the tables was the flesh of the offering.
   44 ¶ And without the inner gate were the chambers of the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate; and their prospect was toward the south: one at the side of the east gate having the prospect toward the north.
   45 And he said unto me, This chamber, whose prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house.
   46 And the chamber whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok among the sons of Levi, which come near to the LORD to minister unto him.
   47 So he measured the court, an hundred cubits long, and an hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar that was before the house.
   48 ¶ And he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side.
   49 The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; and he brought me by the steps whereby they went up to it: and there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
