Jezekiel 46

1Thus says the Lord God; The gate that is in the inner court, that looks eastward, shall be shut the six working days; but let it be opened on the sabbath-day, and it shall be opened on the day of the new moon.Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Θεὸς, ἡ πύλη ἡ ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ τῇ ἐσωτέρᾳ, ἡ βλέπουσα πρὸς ἀνατολὰς, ἔσται κεκλεισμένη ἓξ ἡμέρας τὰς ἐνεργούς· ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν σαββάτων ἀνοιχθῇ, καὶ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῆς νουμηνίας ἀνοιχθήσεται.

2And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of the inner gate, and shall stand at the entrance of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his whole burnt offerings and his peace-offerings, and he shall worship at the entrance of the gate: then shall he come forth; but the gate shall not be shut till evening.Καὶ εἰσελεύσεται ὁ ἀφηγούμενος κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ αἰλὰμ τῆς πύλης τῆς ἔσωθεν, καὶ στήσεται ἐπὶ τὰ πρόθυρα τῆς πύλης, καὶ ποιήσουσιν οἱ ἱερεῖς τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰ τοῦ σωτηρίου αὐτοῦ.

3And the people of the land shall worship at the entrance of that gate, both on the sabbaths and at the new moons, before the Lord.Καὶ προσκυνήσει ἡ λαὸς τῆς γῆς κατὰ τὰ πρόθυρα τῆς πύλης ἐκείνης, καὶ ἐν τοῖς σαββάτοις, καὶ ἐν ταῖς νουμηνίαις, ἐναντίον Κυρίου.

4And the prince shall offer whole burnt offerings to the Lord on the sabbath-day, six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish;Καὶ τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα προσοίσει ὁ ἀφηγούμενος τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν σαββάτων, ἓξ ἀμνοὺς ἀμώμους, καὶ κριὸν ἂμωμον,

5and a free will offering, a meat-offering for the ram, and a meat-offering for the lambs, the gift of his hand, and a hin of oil for the meat-offering.καὶ μαναὰ, πέμμα τῷ κριῷ, καὶ τοῖς ἀμνοῖς θυσίαν, δόμα χειρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐλαίου τὸ εἲν τῷ πέμματι.

6And on the day of the new moon a calf without blemish, and six lambs, and there shall be a ram without blemish;Καὶ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῆς νουμηνίας μόσχον ἄμωμον, καὶ ἓξ ἀμνοὺς, καὶ κριὸς ἄμωμος ἔσται,

7and a meat-offering for the ram, and there shall be a meat-offering for the calf as a free will offering, and for the lambs, according as his hand can furnish, and there shall be a hin of oil for the cake.καὶ πέμμα τῷ κριῷ, καὶ πέμμα τῷ μόσχῳ ἔσται μαναά, καὶ τοῖς ἀμνοῖς, καθὼς ἂν ἐκποιῇ ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐλαίου τὸ εἲν τῷ πέμματι.

8And when the prince goes in, he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and he shall go forth by the way of the gate.Καὶ ἐν τῷ εἰσπορεύεσθαι τὸν ἀφηγούμενον, κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ αἰλὰμ τῆς πύλης εἰσελεύσεται, καὶ κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης ἐξελεύσεται.

9And whenever the people of the land shall go in before the Lord at the feasts, he that goes in by the way of the north gate to worship shall go forth by the way of the south gate; and he that goes in by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the gate by which he entered, but he shall go forth opposite it.Καὶ ὅταν εἰσπορεύηται ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς ἐναντίον Κυρίου ἐν ταῖς ἑορταῖς, ὁ εἰσπορευόμενος κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης τῆς βλεπούσης πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν προσκυνεῖν, ἐξελεύσεται κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης τῆς πρὸς Νότον· καὶ ὁ εἰσπορευόμενος κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης τῆς πρὸς Νότον, ἐξελεύσεται κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης τῆς πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν· οὐκ ἀναστρέψει κατὰ τὴν πύλην εἰς ἣν εἰσελήλυθεν, ἀλλʼ ἢ κατʼ εὐθὺ αὐτῆς ἐξελεύσεται.

10And the prince shall enter with them in the midst of them when they go in; and when they go forth, he shall go forth.Καὶ ὁ ἀφηγούμενος ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν, ἐν τῷ εἰσπορεύεσθαι αὐτοὺς εἰσελεύσεται μετʼ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐκπορεύεσθαι αὐτοὺς ἐξελεύσεται.

11And in the feasts and in the general assemblies the free will oblation shall be a meat-offering for the calf, and a meat-offering for the ram, and for the lambs, as his hand can furnish, and a hin of oil for the meat-offering.Καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἑορταῖς καὶ ἐν ταῖς πανηγύρεσιν ἔσται τὸ μαναὰ πέμμα τῷ μόσχῳ, καὶ πέμμα τῷ κριῷ, καὶ τοῖς, ἀμνοῖς καθὼς ἂν ἐκποιῇ ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐλαίου τὸ εἲν τῷ πέμματι.

12And if the prince should prepare as a thanksgiving a whole burnt-peace-offering to the Lord, and should open for himself the gate looking eastward, and offer his whole burnt offering, and his peace-offerings, as he does on the sabbath-day; then shall he go out, and shall shut the doors after he has gone out.Ἐὰν δὲ ποιήσῃ ὁ ἀφηγούμενος ὁμολογίαν ὁλοκαύτωμα σωτηρίου τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ ἀνοίξεῃ ἑαυτῷ τὴν πύλην τὴν βλέπουσαν κατὰ ἀνατολάς, καὶ ποιήσῃ τὸ ὁλοκαύτωμα αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰ τοῦ σωτηρίου αὐτοῦ, ὃν τρόπον ποιεῖ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν σαββάτων· καὶ ἐξελεύσεται, καὶ κλείσει τὰς θύρας μετὰ τὸ ἐξελθεῖν αὐτόν·

13And he shall prepare daily as a whole burnt offering to the Lord a lamb of a year old without blemish: in the morning shall he prepare it.Καὶ ἀμνὸν ἐνιαύσιον ἄμωμον ποιήσει εἰς ὁλοκαύτωμα καθʼ ἡμέραν τῷ Κυρίῳ, πρωῒ ποιήσει αὐτόν·

14And he shall prepare a free will offering for it in the morning, the sixth part of a measure of flour, and a third part of a hin of oil to mix therewith the fine flour, as a free will offering to the Lord, a perpetual ordinance.Καὶ μαναὰ ποιήσει ἐπʼ αὐτῷ τὸπρωῒ, ἕκτον τοῦ μέτρου, καὶ ἐλαίου τρίτον τοῦ εἲν τοῦ ἀναμίξαι τὴν σεμίδαλιν μαναὰ τῷ Κυρίῳ, πρόσταγμα διαπαντός.

15You shall prepare the lamb, and the free will offering, and the oil in the morning, for a perpetual whole burnt sacrifice.Ποιήσετε τὸν ἀμνὸν, καὶ τὸ μαναὰ, καὶ τὸ ἔλαιον ποιήσετε τοπρωῒ, ὁλοκαύτωμα διαπαντός.

16Thus says the Lord God; If the prince shall give a gift to one of his sons out of his inheritance, this shall be to his sons a possession as an inheritance.Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Θεὸς, ἐὰν δῷ ὁ ἀφηγούμενος δόμα ἑνὶ ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῆς κληρονομίας αὐτοῦ, τοῦτο τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ ἔσται κατάσχεσις κληρονομία·

17But if he give a gift to one of his servants, then it shall belong to him until the year of release; and then he shall restore it to the prince: but of the inheritance of his sons the possession shall continue to them.Ἐὰν δὲ δῷ δόμα ἑνὶ τῶν παίδων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔσται αὐτῷ ἕως τοῦ ἔτους τῆς ἀφέσεως, καὶ ἀποδώσει τῷ ἀφηγουμένῳ· πλὴν τῆς κληρονομίας τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ αὐτοῖς ἔσται.

18And the prince shall by no means take of the inheritance of the people, to oppress them: he shall give an inheritance to his sons out of his own possession: that my people be not scattered, every one from his possession.Καὶ οὐ μὴ λάβῃ ὁ ἀφηγούμενος ἐκ τῆς κληρονομίας τοῦ λαοῦ, καταδυναστεῦσαι αὐτοὺς, ἐκ τῆς κατασχέσεως αὐτοῦ κατακληρονομήσει τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ, ὅπως μὴ διασκορπίζηται ὁ λαός μου, ἕκαστος ἐκ τῆς κατασχέσεως αὐτοῦ.

19And he brought me into the entrance of the place behind the gate, into the chamber of the sanctuary belonging to the priests, that looks toward the north: and, behold, there was a place set apart.Καὶ εἰσήγαγέ με εἰς τὴν εἴσοδον τῆς κατὰ νώτου τῆς πύλης, εἰς τὴν ἐξέδραν τῶν ἁγίων τῶν ἱερέων, τὴν βλέπουσαν πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐκεῖ τόπος κεχωρισμένος.

20And he said to me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass-offerings and the sin-offerings, and there shall they bake the meat-offering always; so as not to carry them out into the outer court, to sanctify the people.Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς μὲ, οὗτος ὁ τόπος ἐστὶν, οὗ ἑψήσουσιν ἐκεῖ οἱ ἱερεῖς τὰ ὑπὲρ ἀγνοίας καὶ τὰ ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτίας, καὶ ἐκεῖ πέψουσι τὸ μαναὰ τὸ παράπαν, τοῦ μὴ ἐκφέρειν εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἐξωτέραν, τοῦ ἁγιάζειν τὸν λαόν.

21And he brought me into the outer court, and led me round upon the four sides of the court; and, behold, there was a court on each of the sides of the court,Καὶ ἐξήγαγέ με εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἐξῶτέραν, καὶ περιήγαγέ με ἐπὶ τὰ τέσσαρα μέρη τῆς αὐλῆς· καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐλὴ κατὰ τὰ κλίτη τῆς αὐλῆς,

22on every side a court, even a court for all the four sides, and each little court belonging to the court was in length forty cubits, and in breadth thirty cubits, there was one measure to the four.κατὰ τὸ κλίτος αὐλὴ, αὐλὴ ἐπὶ τὰ τέσσαρα, καὶ τῆς αὐλῆς αὐλὴ μικρὰ μήκους πηχῶν τεσσαράκοντα, καὶ εὖρος πηχῶν τριάκοντα, μέτρον ἓν ταῖς τέσσαρσι.

23And there were chambers in them round about, round about the four, and cooking-places formed under the chambers round about.Καὶ ἐξέδραι κύκλῳ ἐν αὐταῖς, κυκλῳ ταῖς τέσσαρσι· καὶ μαγειρεῖα γεγονότα ὑποκάτω τῶν ἐξεδρῶν κύκλῳ.

24And he said to me, These are the cooks' houses, where they that serve the house shall boil the sacrifices of the people.Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς μὲ, οὗτοι οἱ οἶκοι τῶν μαγείρων, οὗ ἑψήσουσιν ἐκεῖ οἱ λειτουργοῦντες τῷ οἴκῳ τὰ θύματα τοῦ λαοῦ.
