Jezekiel 43
1Moreover he brought me to the gate looking eastward, and led me forth.Καὶ ἤγαγέ με ἐπὶ τὴν πύλην τὴν βλέπουσαν κατὰ ἀνατολὰς, καὶ ἐξήγαγέ με.
2And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came by the eastern way; and there was a voice of an army, as the sound of many redoubling their shouts, and the earth shone like light from the glory round about.Καὶ ἰδοὺ δόξα Θεοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἤρχετο κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τὴν πρὸς ἀνατολὰς, καὶ φωνὴ τῆς παρεμβολῆς, ὡς φωνὴ διπλασιαζόντων πολλῶν· καὶ ἡ γῆ ἐξέλαμπεν ὡς φέγγος ἀπὸ τῆς δόξης κυκλόθεν.
3And the vision which I saw was like the vision which I saw when I went in to anoint the city: and the vision of the chariot which I saw was like the vision which I saw at the river Chobar; and I fell upon my face.Καὶ ἡ ὅρασις ἣν ἴδον, κατὰ τὴν ὅρασιν ἣν ἴδον, ὅτε εἰσεπορευόμην τοῦ χρίσαι τὴν πόλιν· καὶ ἡ ὅρασις τοῦ ἅρματος οὗ ἴδον, κατὰ τὴν ὅρασιν ἣν ἴδον ἐπὶ τοῦ ποταμοῦ τοῦ Χοβάρ· καὶ πίπτω ἐπὶ πρόσωπόν μου.
4And the glory of the Lord came into the house, by the way of the gate looking eastward.Καὶ δόξα Κυρίου εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον, κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης τῆς βλεπούσης κατὰ ἀνατολάς.
5And the Spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the house of the Lord was full of glory.Καὶ ἀνέλαβέ με πνεῦμα, καὶ εἰσήγαγέ με εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἐσωτέραν· καὶ ἰδοὺ πλήρης δόξης ὁ Κυρίου οἶκος.
6And I stood, and behold there was a voice out of the house of one speaking to me, and a man stood near me,Καὶ ἔστην, καὶ ἰδοὺ φωνὴ ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου λαλοῦντος πρὸς μέ, καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ εἱστήκει ἐχόμενός μου,
7and he said to me, Son of man, you have seen the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, in which my name shall dwell in the midst of the house of Israel for ever; and the house of Israel shall no more profane my holy name, they and their princes, by their fornication, or by the murders of their princes in the midst of them;καὶ εἶπε πρὸς μὲ, Υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ἑώρακας τὸν τόπον τοῦ θρόνου μου, καὶ τὸν τόπον τοῦ ἴχνους τῶν ποδῶν μου, ἐν οἷς κατασκηνώσῃ τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐν μέσῳ οἴκου Ἰσραὴλ τὸν αἰῶνα· καὶ οὐ βεβηλώσουσιν οὐκέτι οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ τὸ ὄνομα τὸ ἅγιόν μου, αὐτοὶ καὶ οἱ ἡγούμενοι αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ πορνείᾳ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐν τοῖς φόνοις τῶν ἡγουμένων ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν,
8when they set my door-way by their door-way, and my thresholds near to their thresholds: and they made my wall as it were joining myself and them, and they profaned my holy name with their iniquities which they wrought: and I destroyed them in my wrath and with slaughter.ἐν τῷ τιθέναι αὐτοὺς τὸ πρόθυρόν μου ἐν τοῖς προθύροις αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰς φλιάς μου ἐχομένας τῶν φλιῶν αὐτῶν· καὶ ἔδωκαν τὸν τοῖχόν μου ὡς συνεχόμενον ἐμοῦ καὶ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐβεβήλωσαν τὸ ὄνομα τὸ ἅγιόν μου ἐν ταῖς ἀνομίαις αὐτῶν αἷς ἐποίουν· καὶ ἐξέτριψα αὐτοὺς ἐν θυμῷ μου, καὶ ἐν φόνῳ.
9And now let them put away from me their fornication, and the murders of their princes, and I will dwell in the midst of them forever.Καὶ νῦν ἀπωσάσθωσαν τὴν πορνείαν αὐτῶν, καὶ τοὺς φόνους τῶν ἡγουμένων αὐτῶν ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ, καὶ κατασκηνώσω ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν τὸν αἰῶνα.
10And you, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may cease from their sins; and show its aspect and the arrangement of it.Καὶ σὺ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, δεῖξον τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰσραὴλ τὸν οἶκον· καὶ κοπάσουσιν ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν· καὶ τὴν ὅρασιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὴν διάταξιν αὐτοῦ.
11And they shall bear their punishment for all the things that they have done: and you shall describe the house, and its entrances, and the plan thereof, and all its ordinances, and you shall make known to them all the regulations of it, and describe them before them: and they shall keep all my commandments, and all my ordinances, and do them.Καὶ αὐτοὶ λήψονται τὴν κόλασιν αὐτῶν περὶ πάντων ὧν ἐποίησαν· καὶ διαγράψεις τὸν οἶκον, καὶ τὰς ἐξόδους αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὴν ὑπόστασιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντα τὰ προστάγματα αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντα τὰ νόμιμα αὐτοῦ γνωριεῖς αὐτοῖς, καὶ διαγράψεις ἐναντίον αὐτῶν· καὶ φυλάξονται πάντα τὰ δικαιώματά μου, καὶ πάντα τὰ προστάγματά μου, καὶ ποιήσουσιν αὐτά.
12And you shall show the plan of the house on the top of the mountain: all its limits round about shall be most holy.Καὶ τὴν διαγραφὴν τοῦ οἴκου ἐπὶ τῆς κορυφῆς τοῦ ὄρους, πάντα τὰ ὅρια αὐτοῦ κυκλόθεν ἅγια ἁγίων.
13And these are the measures of the altar by the cubit of a cubit and a span, the cavity shall be a cubit deep, and a cubit shall be the breadth, and the border on the rim of it round about shall be a span: and this shall be the height of the altarΚαὶ ταῦτα τὰ μέτρα τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου ἐν πήχει τοῦ πήχεως, καὶ παλαιστῆς, κόλπωμα βάθους ἐπὶ πῆχυν, καὶ πῆχυς τὸ εὖρος, καὶ γεῖσος ἐπὶ τὸ χεῖλος αὐτοῦ κυκλόθεν, σπιθαμῆς· καὶ τοῦτο τὸ ὕψος τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου
14from the bottom at the commencement of the hollow part to this great mercy-seat, from beneath was two cubits, and the breadth was a cubit; and from the little mercy-seat to the great mercy-seat, four cubits, and the breadth was a cubit.ἐκ βάθους τῆς ἀρχῆς τοῦ κοιλώματος αὐτοῦ, πρὸς τὸ ἱλαστήριον τὸ μέγα τοῦτο, ὑποκάτωθεν πηχῶν δύο, καὶ τὸ εὖρος πήχεος· καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἱλαστηρίου τοῦ μικροῦ ἐπὶ τὸ ἱλαστήριον τὸ μέγα, πήχεις τέσσαρες, καὶ εὖρος πῆχυς.
15And the altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar and above the horns a cubit.Καὶ τὸ ἀριὴλ πηχῶν τεσσάρων, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀριὴλ, καὶ ὑπεράνω τῶν κεράτων πῆχυς.
16And the altar shall be of the length of twelve cubits, by twelve cubits in breadth, square upon its four sides.Καὶ τὸ ἀριὴλ πηχῶν δώδεκα μήκους, ἐπὶ πήχεις δώδεκα, τετράγωνον ἐπὶ τὰ τέσσαρα μέρη αὐτοῦ.
17And the mercy-seat shall be fourteen cubits in length, by fourteen cubits in breadth on its four sides; and there shall be a border to it carried round about it of half a cubit; and the rim of it shall be a cubit round about; and the steps thereof looking eastward.Καὶ τὸ ἱλαστήριον πηχῶν δεκατεσσάρων τὸ μῆκος, ἐπὶ πήχεις δέκατέσσαρας τὸ εὖρος ἐπὶ τέσσαρα μέρη αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸ γεῖσος αὐτῷ κυκλόθεν κυκλούμενον αὐτῷ ἥμισυ πήχεως· καὶ τὸ κύκλωμα αὐτοῦ πῆχυς κυκλόθεν, καὶ οἱ κλημακτῆρες αὐτοῦ βλέποντες κατὰ ἀνατολάς.
18And he said to me, Son of man, thus says the Lord God of Israel; These are the ordinances of the altar in the day of its being made, to offer upon it whole burnt offerings, and to pour blood upon it.Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς μὲ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, ταῦτα τὰ προστάγματα τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ποιήσεως αὐτοῦ, τοῦ ἀναφέρειν ἐπʼ αὐτοῦ ὁλοκαυτώματα, καὶ προσχέειν πρὸς αὐτὸ αἷμα.
19And you shall appoint to the priests the Levites of the seed of Sadduc, that draw near to me, says the Lord God, to minister to me, a calf of the herd for a sin-offering.Καὶ δώσεις τοῖς ἱερεῦσι τοῖς Λευίταις τοῖς ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματος Σαδδοὺκ τοῖς ἐγγίζουσι πρὸς μὲ, λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς, τοῦ λειτουργεῖν μοι μόσχον ἐκ βοῶν περὶ ἁμαρτίας.
20And they shall take of its blood, and shall put it on the four horns of the altar, and upon the four corners of the propitiatory, and upon the base round about, and they shall make atonement for it.Καὶ λήψονται ἐκ τοῦ αἵματος αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπιθήσουσιν ἐπὶ τὰ τέσσαρα κέρατα τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς τέσσαρας γωνίας τοῦ ἱλαστηρίου καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν βάσιν κύκλῳ, καὶ ἐξιλάσονται αὐτό.
21And they shall take the calf of the sin-offering, and it shall be consumed by fire in the separate place of the house, outside the sanctuary.Καὶ λήψονται τὸν μόσχον τὸν περὶ ἁμαρτίας, καὶ κατακαυθήσεται ἐν τῷ ἀποκεχωρισμένῳ τοῦ οἴκου, ἔξωθεν τῶν ἁγίων.
22And on the second day they shall take two kids of the goats without blemish for a sin-offering; and they shall make atonement for the altar, as they made atonement with the calf.Καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ δευτέρᾳ λήψονται ἐρίφους δύο αἰγῶν ἀμώμους ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτίας, καὶ ἐξιλάσονται τὸ θυσιαστήριον, καθότι ἐξιλάσαντο ἐν τῷ μόσχῳ.
23And after they have finished the atonement, they shall bring an unblemished calf of the herd, and an unblemished ram of the flock.Καὶ μετὰ τὸ συντελέσαι τὸν ἐξιλασμὸν, προσοίσουσι μόσχον ἐκ βοῶν ἄμωμον, καὶ κριὸν ἐκ προβάτων ἄμωμον,
24And you shall offer them before the Lord, and the priests shall sprinkle salt upon them, and shall offer them up as whole burnt offerings to the Lord.καὶ προσοίσετε ἐναντίον Κυρίου· καὶ ἐπιῤῥίψουσιν οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐπʼ αὐτὰ ἅλα, καὶ ἀνοίσουσιν αὐτὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα τῷ Κυρίῳ.
25Seven days shall you offer a kid daily for a sin-offering, and a calf of the herd, and a ram out of the flock: they shall sacrifice them unblemished for seven days:Ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ποιήσεις ἔριφον ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτίας καθʼ ἡμέραν, καὶ μόσχον ἐκ βοῶν, καὶ κριὸν ἐκ προβάτων, ἄμωμα ποιήσουσιν
26and they shall make atonement for the altar, and shall purge it; and they shall consecrate themselves.ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας· καὶ ἐξιλάσονται τὸ θυσιαστήριον, καὶ καθαριοῦσιν αὐτό· καὶ πλήσουσι χεῖρας αὐτῶν.
27And it shall come to pass from the eighth day and onward, that the priests shall offer your whole burnt offerings on the altar, and your peace-offerings; and I will accept you, says the Lord.Καὶ ἔσται ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας τῆς ὀγδόης καὶ ἐπέκεινα, ποιήσουσιν οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα ὑμῶν, καὶ τὰ τοῦ σωτηρίου ὑμῶν, καὶ προσδέξομαι ὑμᾶς, λέγει Κύριος.
