Jezekiel 42
1And he brought me into the inner court eastward, opposite the northern gate: and he brought me in, and behold five chambers near the vacant space, and near the northern partition,Καὶ εἰσήγαγέ με εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἐσωτέραν κατὰ ἀνατολὰς, κατέναντι τῆς πύλης τῆς πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν, καὶ εἰσήγαγέ με· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐξέδραι πέντε, ἐχόμεναι τοῦ ἀπολοίπου, καὶ ἐχόμεναι τοῦ διορίζοντος πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν,
2one hundred cubits in length toward the north, and in breadth fifty,ἐπὶ πήχεις ἑκατὸν μῆκος πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν, καὶ τὸ πλάτος πεντήκοντα,
3ornamented accordingly as the gates of the inner court, and arranged accordingly as the peristyles of the outer court, with triple porticos fronting one another.διαγεγραμμέναι ὃν τρόπον αἱ πύλαι τῆς αὐλῆς τῆς ἐσωτέρας, καὶ ὃν τρόπον τὰ περίστυλα τῆς αὐλῆς τῆς ἐξωτέρας ἐστοιχισμέναι, ἀντιπρόσωποι στοαὶ τρισσαί.
4And in front of the chambers was a walk ten cubits in breadth, the length reaching to one hundred cubits; and their doors were northward.Καὶ κατέναντι τῶν ἐξεδρῶν περίπατος πηχῶν δέκα τὸ πλάτος, ἐπὶ πήχεις ἑκατὸν τὸ μῆκος, καὶ τὰ θυρώματα αὐτῶν πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν,
5And the upper walks were in like manner: for the peristyle projected from it, even from the range of columns below, and there was a space between; so were there a peristyle and a space between, and so were there two porticos.καὶ οἱ περίπατοι οἱ ὑπερῷοι ὡσαύτως· ὅτι ἐξείχετο τὸ περίστυλον ἐξ αὐτοῦ, ἐκ τοῦ ὑποκάτωθεν περιστύλου, καὶ τὸ διάστημα· οὕτως περίστυλον καὶ διάστημα, καὶ οὕτως στοαὶ δύο.
6For they were triple, and they had not pillars like the pillars of the outer ones: therefore they projected from the lower ones and the middle ones from the ground.Διότι τριπλαῖ ἦσαν, καὶ στύλους οὐκ εἶχον καθὼς οἱ στύλοι τῶν ἐξωτέρων· διατοῦτο ἐξείχοντο τῶν ὑποκάτωθεν καὶ τῶν μέσων ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς.
7And there was light without, corresponding to the chambers of the outer court looking toward the front of the northern chambers; the length of them was fifty cubits.Καὶ φῶς ἔξωθεν, ὃν τρόπον αἱ ἐξέδραι τῆς αὐλῆς τῆς ἐξωτέρας, αἱ βλέπουσαι ἀπέναντι τῶν ἐξεδρῶν τῶν πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν, μῆκος πηχῶν πεντήκοντα.
8For the length of the chambers looking toward the inner court was fifty cubits, and these are the ones that front the others; the whole was one hundred cubits.Ὅτι τὸ μῆκος τῶν ἐξεδρῶν τῶν βλεπουσῶν εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἐξωτέραν, ἦν πηχῶν πεντήκοντα, καὶ αὗταί εἰσιν αἱ ἀντιπρόσωποι ταύταις· τὸ πᾶν πηχῶν ἑκατόν.
9And there were doors of these chambers for an outlet toward the east, so that one should go through them out of the outer court,Καὶ αἱ θύραι τῶν ἐξεδρῶν τούτων τῆς εἰσόδου τῆς πρὸς ἀνατολὰς, τοῦ εἰσπορεύεσθαι διʼ αὐτῶν ἐκ τῆς αὐλῆς τῆς ἐξωτέρας,
10by the opening of the walk at the corner; and the south parts were toward the south, toward the remaining space, and toward the partition, and so were the chambers.κατὰ τὸ φῶς τοῦ ἐν ἀρχῇ περιπάτου, καὶ τὰ πρὸς Νότον κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ Νότου κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ ἀπολοίπου, καὶ κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ διορίζοντος, καὶ αἱ ἐξέδραι.
11And the walk was in front of them, according to the measures of the chambers toward the north, both according to the length of them, and according to the breadth of them, and according to all their openings, an according to all their turnings, and according to their lights, and according to their doors.Καὶ ὁ περίπατος κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν, κατὰ τὰ μέτρα ἐξεδρῶν τῶν πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν, καὶ κατὰ τὸ μῆκος αὐτῶν, καὶ κατὰ τὸ εὖρος αὐτῶν, καὶ κατὰ πάσας τὰς ἐξόδους αὐτῶν, καὶ κατὰ πάσας τὰς ἐπιστροφὰς αὐτῶν, καὶ κατὰ τὰ φῶτα αὐτῶν, καὶ κατὰ τὰ θυρώματα αὐτῶν,
12So were the measures of the chambers toward the south, and according to the doors at the entrance of the walk, as it were the distance of a reed for light, and eastward as one went in by them.τῶν ἐξεδρῶν τῶν πρὸς Νότον, καὶ κατὰ τὰ θυρώματα ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς τοῦ περιπάτου, ὡς ἐπὶ φῶς διαστμήατος καλάμου, καὶ κατὰ ἀνατολὰς τοῦ εἰσπορεύεσθαι διʼ αὐτῶν.
13And he said to me, The chambers toward the north, and the chambers toward the south, in front of the void spaces, these are the chambers of the sanctuary, wherein the priests the sons of Sadduc, who draw near to the Lord, shall eat the most holy things: and there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat-offering, and the sin-offerings, and the trespass-offerings; because the place is holy.Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς μὲ, αἱ ἐξέδραι αἱ πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν, καὶ αἱ ἐξέδραι αἱ πρὸς Νότον, οὖσαι κατὰ πρόσωπον τῶν διαστημάτων, αὗταί εἰσιν αἱ ἐξέδραι τοῦ ἁγίου, ἐν αἷς φάγονται ἐκεῖ οἱ ἱερεῖς υἱοὶ Σαδδοὺκ, οἱ ἐγγίζοντες πρὸς Κύριον, τὰ ἅγια τῶν ἁγίων, καὶ ἐκεῖ θήσουσι τὰ ἅγια τῶν ἁγίων, καὶ τὴν θυσίαν, καὶ τὰ περὶ ἁμαρτίας, καὶ τὰ περὶ ἀγνοίας, διότι ὁ τόπος ἅγιος.
14None shall go in there except the priests, and they shall not go forth of the holy place into the outer court, that they that draw near to me may be continually holy, and may not touch their garments in which they minister, with defilement, for they are holy; and they shall put on other garments whenever they come in contact with the people.Οὐκ εἰσελεύσονται ἐκεῖ πάρεξ τῶν ἱερέων, οὐκ ἐξελεύσονται ἐκ τοῦ ἁγίου εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἐξωτέραν, ὅπως διαπαντὸς ἅγιοι ὦσιν οἱ προσάγοντες, καὶ μὴ ἅπτωνται τοῦ στολισμοῦ αὐτῶν, ἐν οἷς λειτουργοῦσιν ἐν αὐτοῖς, διότι ἅγιά ἐστι· καὶ ἐνδύσονται ἱμάτια ἕτερα, ὅταν ἅπτωνται τοῦ λαοῦ.
15So the measurement of the house within was accomplished: and he brought me forth by the way of the gate that looks eastward, and measured the plan of the house round about in order.Καὶ συνετελέσθη ἡ διαμέτρησις τοῦ οἴκου ἔσωθεν· καὶ ἐξήγαγέ με καθʼ ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης τῆς βλεπούσης πρὸς ἀνατολὰς, καὶ διεμέτρησε τὸ ὑπόδειγμα τοῦ οἴκου κυκλόθεν ἐν διατάξει.
16And he stood behind the gate looking eastward, and measured five hundred cubits with the measuring reed.Καὶ ἔστη κατὰ νώτου τῆς πύλης τῆς βλεπούσης κατὰ ἀνατολὰς, καὶ διεμέτρησε πεντακοσίους ἐν τῷ καλάμῳ τοῦ μέτρου.
17And he turned to the north and measured in front of the north side five hundred cubits with the measuring reed.Καὶ ἐπέστρεψε πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν, καὶ διεμέτρησε τὸ κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ Βοῤῥᾶ, πήχεις πεντακοσίους ἐν τῷ καλάμῳ τοῦ μέτρου.
18And he turned to the west, and measured in front of the west side, five hundred cubits with the measuring reed.Καὶ ἐπέστρεψε πρὸς θάλασσαν, καὶ διεμέτρησε τὸ κατὰ πρόσωπον θαλάσσης, πεντακοσίους ἐν τῷ καλάμῳ τοῦ μέτρου.
19And he turned to the south, and measured in front of the south side, five hundred cubits by the measuring reed.Καὶ ἐπέστρεψε πρὸς Νότον, καὶ διεμέτρησε κατέναντι τοῦ Νότου, πεντακοσίους ἐν τῷ καλάμῳ τοῦ μέτρου,
20The four sides he measured by the same reed, and he marked out the house and the circumference of the parts round about, a space of five hundred cubits eastward, and a breadth of five hundred cubits, to make a division between the sanctuary and the outer wall, that belonged to the design of the house.τὰ τέσσαρα μέρη τοῦ αὐτοῦ καλάμου· καὶ διέταξεν αὐτὸν, καὶ περίβολον αὐτῶν κύκλῳ, πεντακοσίων πρὸς ἀνατολὰς, καὶ πεντακοσίων πηχῶν εὖρος, τοῦ διαστέλλειν ἀναμέσον τῶν ἁγίων, καὶ ἀναμέσον τοῦ προτειχίσματος, τοῦ ἐν διατάξει τοῦ οἴκου.
