Jezekiel 45
1And when you measure the land for inheritance, you shall set apart first fruits to the Lord, a holy space of the land, in length twenty and five thousand reeds, and in breadth twenty thousand; it shall be holy in all the borders thereof round about.Καὶ ἐν τῷ καταμετρεῖσθαι ὑμᾶς τὴν γῆν ἐν κληρονομίᾳ, ἀφοριεῖτε ἀπαρχὴν τῷ Κυρίῳ, ἅγιον ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς πέντε καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδας μῆκος, καὶ εὖρος εἴκοσι χιλιάδας, ἅγιον ἔσται ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ὁρίοις αὐτοῦ κυκλόθεν.
2And there shall be a sanctuary out of this, five hundred reeds in length by five hundred in breadth, a square round about; and there shall be a vacant space beyond this of fifty cubits round about.Καὶ ἔσται ἐκ τούτου ἁγιάσματα, πεντακόσιοι ἐπὶ πεντακοσίους, τετράγωνον κυκλόθεν, καὶ πεντήκοντα πήχεις διάστημα αὐτῶν κυκλόθεν.
3And out of this measurement shall you measure the length five and twenty thousand, and the breadth twenty thousand: and in it shall be the holy of holies.Καὶ ἐκ ταύτης τῆς διαμετρήσεως διαμετρήσεις μῆκος πέντε καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδας, καὶ εὖρος εἴκοσι χιλιάδας· καὶ ἐν αὐτῇ ἔσται ἅγια τῶν ἁγίων·
4Of the land shall be a portion for the priests that minister in the holy place, and it shall be for them that draw near to minister to the Lord: and it shall be to them a place for houses set apart for their sacred office;Ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς ἔσται τοῖς ἱερεῦσι τοῖς λειτουργοῦσιν ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ, καὶ ἔσται τοῖς ἐγγίζουσι λειτουργεῖν τῷ Κυρίῳ· καὶ ἔσται αὐτοῖς τόπος εἰς οἴκους ἀφωρισμένους τῷ ἁγιασμῷ αὐτῶν,
5the length shall be twenty-five thousand, and the breadth twenty thousand: and the Levites that attend the house, they shall have cities to dwell in for a possession.εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε χιλιάδας μῆκος, καὶ εὖρος εἴκοσι χιλιάδες· καὶ τοῖς Λευίταις τοῖς λειτουργοῦσι τῷ οἴκῳ, αὐτοῖς εἰς κατάσχεσιν πόλεις τοῦ κατοικεῖν.
6And you shall appoint for the possession of the city five thousand in breadth, and in length twenty-five thousand: after the manner of the first fruits of the holy portion, they shall be for all the house of Israel.Καὶ τὴν κατάσχεσιν τῆς πόλεως δώσεις πέντε χιλιάδας εὖρος, καὶ μῆκος πέντε καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδας, ὃν τρόπον ἡ ἀπαρχὴ τῶν ἁγίων παντὶ οἴκῳ Ἰσραὴλ ἔσονται.
7And the prince shall have a portion out of this, and out of this there shall be a portion for the first fruits of the sanctuary, and for the possession of the city, in front of the first fruits of the sanctuary, and in front of the possession of the city westward, and from the western parts eastward: and the length shall be equal to one of the parts of the western borders, and the length shall be to the eastern borders of the land.Καὶ τῷ ἡγουμένῳ ἐκ τούτου, καὶ ἀπὸ τούτου εἰς τὰς ἀπαρχὰς τῶν ἁγίων, εἰς κατάσχεσιν τῆς πόλεως, κατὰ πρόσωπον τῶν ἀπαρχῶν τῶν ἁγίων, καὶ κατὰ πρόσωπον τῆς κατασχέσεως τῆς πόλεως τὰ πρὸς θάλασσαν, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν πρὸς θάλασσαν πρὸς ἀνατολάς· καὶ τὸ μῆκος ὡς μία τῶν μερίδων ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων τῶν πρὸς θάλασσαν, καὶ τὸ μῆκος, ἐπὶ τὰ ὅρια τὰ πρὸς ἀνατολὰς τῆς γῆς.
8And he shall have it for a possession in Israel: and the princes of Israel shall no more oppress my people; but the house of Israel shall inherit the land according to their tribes.Καὶ ἔσται αὐτῷ εἰς κατάσχεσιν ἐν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ οὐ καταδυναστεύσουσιν οὐκέτι οἱ ἀφηγούμενοι τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ τὸν λαόν μου, καὶ τὴν γῆν κατακληρονομήσουσιν οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ κατὰ φυλὰς αὐτῶν.
9Thus says the Lord God; Let it suffice you, you princes of Israel: remove injustice and misery, execute judgment and justice; take away oppression from my people, says the Lord God.Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Θεὸς, ἱκανούσθω ὑμῖν οἱ ἀφηγούμενοι τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, ἀδικίαν καὶ ταλαιπωρίαν ἀφέλεσθε, κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην ποιήσατε· ἐξάρατε καταδυναστείαν ἀπὸ τοῦ λαοῦ μου, λέγει Κύριος Θεός.
10You shall have a just balance, and a just measure, and a just choenix for measure.Ζυγὸς δίκαιος, καὶ μέτρον δίκαιον, καὶ χοῖνιξ δικαία ἔσται ὑμῖν τοῦ μέτρου,
11And in like manner there shall be one choenix as a measure of capacity; the tenth of the homer shall be the choenix, and the tenth of the homer shall be in fair proportion to the homer.καὶ ἡ χοῖνιξ ὁμοίως μία ἔσται τοῦ λαμβάνειν· τὸ δέκατον τοῦ γομόρ, χοῖνιξ, καὶ τὸ δέκατον τοῦ γομόρ, πρὸς τὸ γομόρ ἔσται τὸ ἴσον.
12And the weights shall be twenty oboli, your pound shall be five shekels, fifteen shekels and fifty shekels.Καὶ τὰ στάθμια, εἴκοσι ὀβολοὶ, πέντε σίκλοι, πέντε καὶ σίκλοι δέκα, καὶ πεντήκοντα σίκλοι ἡ μνᾶ ἔσται ὑμῖν.
13And these are the first fruits which you shall offer; a sixth part of a homer of wheat, and the sixth part of it shall consist of an ephah of a core of barley.Καὶ αὕτη ἡ ἀπαρχὴ ἣν ἀφοριεῖτε, ἕκτον μέτροο ἀπὸ τοῦ γυμὸρ τοῦ πυροῦ, καὶ τὸ ἕκτον αὐτοῦ τοῦ οἴφι ἀπὸ τοῦ κόρου τῶν κριθῶν.
14And you shall give as the appointed measure of oil one bath of oil out of ten baths; for ten baths are a homer.Καὶ τὸ πρόσταγμα τοῦ ἐλαίου κοτύλην ἐλαίου ἀπὸ δέκα κοτυλῶν, ὅτι αἱ δέκα κοτύλαι εἰσὶ γομόρ.
15And one sheep from the flock out of ten, as an oblation from all the tribes of Israel, for sacrifices, and for whole burnt offerings, and for peace-offerings, to make atonement for you, says the Lord God.Καὶ πρόβατον ἀπὸ τῶν προβάτων ἀπὸ δέκα ἀφαίρεμα ἐκ πασῶν τῶν πατριῶν τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, εἰς θυσίας, καὶ εἰς ὁλοκαυτώματα, καὶ εἰς σωτηρίου, τοῦ ἐξιλάσκεσθαι περὶ ὑμῶν, λέγει Κύριος Θεός.
16And all the people shall give these first fruits to the prince of Israel.Καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς δώσει τὴν ἀπαρχὴν ταύτην τῷ ἀφηγουμένῳ τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.
17And through the prince shall be offered the whole burnt offerings and the meat-offerings, and the drink-offerings in the feasts, and at the new moons, and on the sabbaths; and in all the feasts of the house of Israel: he shall offer the sin-offerings, and the meat-offering, and the whole burnt offerings, and the peace-offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel.Καὶ διὰ τοῦ ἀφηγουμένου ἔσται τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα, καὶ αἱ θυσίαι, καὶ αἱ σπονδαὶ ἐν ταῖς ἑορταῖς, καὶ ἐν ταῖς νουμηνίαις, καὶ ἐν τοῖς σαββάτοις, καὶ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ἑορταῖς οἴκου Ἰσραήλ· αὐτὸς ποιήσει τὰ ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτίας, καὶ τὴν θυσίαν, καὶ τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα, καὶ τὰ τοῦ σωτηρίου, τοῦ ἐξιλάσκεσθαι ὑπὲρ τοῦ οἴκου Ἰσραήλ.
18Thus says the Lord God; In the first month, on the first day of the month, you shall take a calf without blemish out of the herd, to make atonement for the holy place.Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Θεὸς, ἐν τῷ πρώτῳ μηνὶ, μιᾷ τοῦ μηνὸς, λήμψεσθε μόσχον ἐκ βοῶν ἄμωμον, τοῦ ἐξιλάσασθαι τὸ ἅγιον.
19And the priest shall take of the blood of the atonement, and put it on the thresholds of the house, and upon the four corners of the temple, and upon the altar, and upon the thresholds of the gate of the inner court.Καὶ λήψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος τοῦ ἐξιλασμοῦ, καὶ δώσει ἐπὶ τὰς φλιὰς τοῦ οἴκου, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς τέσσαρας γωνίας τοῦ ἱεροῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς φλιὰς τῆς πύλης τῆς αὐλῆς τῆς ἐσωτέρας.
20And thus shall you do in the seventh month; on the first day of the month you shall take a rate from each one; and you shall make atonement for the house.Καὶ οὕτως ποιήσεις ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ ἑβδόμῳ· μιᾷ τοῦ μηνὸς λήψῃ παρʼ ἑκάστου ἀπόμοιραν· καὶ ἐξιλάσεσθε τὸν οἶκον.
21And in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you shall have the feast of the passover; seven days shall you eat unleavened bread.Καὶ ἐν τῷ πρώτῳ, τεσσαρεσκαιδεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς ἔσται ὑμῖν τὸ πάσχα ἑορτή· ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ἄζυμα ἔδεσθε.
22And the prince shall offer in that day a calf for a sin-offering for himself, and the house, and for all the people of the land.Καὶ ποιήσει ὁ ἀφηγούμενος ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ὑπὲρ αὐτοῦ, καὶ τοῦ οἴκου, καὶ ὑπὲρ παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ τῆς γῆς, μόσχον ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτίας.
23And for the seven days of the feast he shall offer as whole burnt offerings to the Lord seven calves and seven rams without blemish daily for the seven days; and a kid of the goats daily for a sin-offering, and a meat-offering.Καὶ τὰς ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας τῆς ἑορτῆς ποιήσει ὁλοκαυτώματα τῷ Κυρίῳ ἑπτὰ μόσχους καὶ ἑπτὰ κριοὺς ἀμώμους καθʼ ἡμέραν, τὰς ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας, καὶ ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτίας ἔριφον αἰγῶν καθʼ ἡμέραν, καὶ θυσίαν.
24And you shall prepare a cake for the calf, and cakes for the ram, and a hin of oil for the cake.Καὶ πέμμα τῷ μόσχῳ, καὶ πέμματα τῷ κριῷ ποιήσεις, καὶ ἐλαίου τὸ εἲν τῷ πεμματι.
25And in the seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month, you shall sacrifice in the feast in the same way seven days, as they sacrificed the sin-offerings, and the whole burnt offerings, and the free will offering, and the oil.Καὶ ἐν τῷ ἑβδόμῷ μηνὶ, πεντεκαιδεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς, ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ ποιήσεις κατὰ τὰ αὐτὰ, ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας, καθὼς τὰ ὑπὲρ τῆς ἁμαρτίας, καὶ καθὼς τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα, καὶ καθὼς τὸ μαναὰ, καὶ καθὼς τὸ ἔλαιον.
