1 M’introdusse poi nell’aula e misurò i pilastri: erano larghi sei cubiti da una parte e sei cubiti dall’altra.1 And he led me into the temple, and he measured the front to be six cubits in width on one side, and six cubits in width on the other side, which is the width of the tabernacle.
2 L’ingresso era largo dieci cubiti e i lati dell’ingresso cinque cubiti da una parte e cinque cubiti dall’altra. Misurò quindi l’aula: era lunga quaranta cubiti e larga venti.
2 And the width of the gate was ten cubits. And the sides of the gate were five cubits on one side, and five cubits on the other side. And he measured its length to be forty cubits, and the width to be twenty cubits.
3 Andò poi nell’interno e misurò i pilastri dell’ingresso, due cubiti, e l’ingresso, sei cubiti; la larghezza dell’ingresso era di sette cubiti.3 And proceeding inward, he measured the front of the gate to be two cubits. And the gate was six cubits, and the width of the gate was seven cubits.
4 Ne misurò ancora la lunghezza, venti cubiti e la larghezza, davanti all’aula, venti cubiti; poi mi disse: «Questo è il Santo dei Santi».
4 And he measured its length to be twenty cubits, and its width to be twenty cubits, before the face of the temple. And he said to me, “This is the Holy of Holies.”
5 Misurò poi il muro del tempio, sei cubiti; poi la larghezza dell’edificio laterale, quattro cubiti, intorno al tempio.5 And he measured the wall of the house to be six cubits, and the width of the sides to be four cubits, all around the house on every side.
6 Le celle laterali erano una sull’altra, trenta per tre piani. Per le celle all’intorno, c’erano, nel muro del tempio, delle rientranze in modo che fossero collegate fra loro, ma non collegate al muro del tempio.6 Now the side chambers were side by side, and twice thirty-three. And they projected outward, so that they might enter along the wall of the house, on the sides all around, in order to contain, but not touch, the wall of the temple.
7 Salendo da un piano all’altro l’ampiezza delle celle aumentava, perciò la costruzione era più larga verso l’alto. Dal piano inferiore si poteva salire al piano di mezzo e da questo a quello più alto.
7 And there was a broad circular path, rising upward by winding, and it led to the cenacle of the temple by a circular course. As a result, the temple was wider in the higher parts. And so, from the lower parts, they rose up to the higher parts, in the center.
8 Io vidi intorno al tempio un’elevazione. I basamenti dell’edificio laterale erano di una canna intera di sei cubiti.8 And in the house, I saw the height all around the foundations of the side chambers, which were the measure of a reed, the space of six cubits.
9 La larghezza del muro esterno dell’edificio laterale era di cinque cubiti, come quella dello spazio rimanente. Fra l’edificio laterale del tempio9 And the width of the exterior wall for the side chambers was five cubits. And the inner house was within the side chambers of the house.
10 e le stanze c’era una larghezza di venti cubiti intorno al tempio.10 And between the storerooms, there was the width of twenty cubits, all around the house on every side.
11 Gli ingressi dell’edificio laterale rimanevano sullo spazio libero; un ingresso dava a settentrione e uno a mezzogiorno. Lo spazio libero era di cinque cubiti tutt’intorno.
11 And the door of the side chambers was toward the place of prayer. One door was toward the way of the north, and one door was toward the way of the south. And the width of the place for prayer was five cubits all around.
12 La costruzione che era di fronte allo spazio libero sul lato occidentale, aveva settanta cubiti di larghezza; il muro della costruzione era tutt’intorno dello spessore di cinque cubiti, la sua lunghezza di novanta cubiti.
12 And the edifice, which was separate, and which verged toward the way looking toward the sea, was seventy cubits in width. But the wall of the edifice was five cubits in width on all sides, and its length was ninety cubits.
13 Poi misurò il tempio: lunghezza cento cubiti; lo spazio libero, l’edificio e le sue mura, anch’essi cento cubiti.13 And he measured the length of the house to be one hundred cubits, and the edifice, which was separate, with its walls, to be one hundred cubits in length.
14 La larghezza della facciata del tempio con lo spazio libero a oriente, cento cubiti.14 Now the width before the face of the house, and of that which was separate facing the east, was one hundred cubits.
15 Misurò ancora la larghezza dell’edificio di fronte allo spazio libero nella parte retrostante, con le gallerie di qua e di là: era cento cubiti.
L’interno dell’aula, il suo vestibolo,
15 And he measured the length of the edifice opposite its face, which was separated at the back, and the porticos on both sides, to be one hundred cubits, with the inner temple and the vestibules of the court.
16 gli stipiti, le finestre a grate e le gallerie attorno a tutti e tre, a cominciare dalla soglia, erano rivestiti di tavole di legno, tutt’intorno, dal pavimento fino alle finestre, che erano velate.16 The thresholds, and the oblique windows, and the porticoes, encircling it on three sides, were opposite the threshold of each one, and were floored with wood throughout the entire area. But the floor reached even to the windows, and the windows were closed above the doors;
17 Dall’ingresso, dentro e fuori del tempio e su tutte le pareti interne ed esterne erano dipinti17 and it reached even to the inner house, and to the exterior, throughout the entire wall, all around the interior and exterior, for the entire extent.
18 cherubini e palme. Fra cherubino e cherubino c’era una palma; ogni cherubino aveva due aspetti:18 And there were cherubim and palm trees wrought, and each palm tree was between one cherub and another, and every cherub had two faces.
19 aspetto d’uomo verso una palma e aspetto di leone verso l’altra palma, effigiati intorno a tutto il tempio.19 The face of a man was closest to the palm tree on one side, and the face of a lion was closest to the palm tree on the other side. This was depicted throughout the entire house all around.
20 Da terra fin sopra l’ingresso erano disposti cherubini e palme sulle pareti del santuario.20 From the floor, even to the upper parts of the gate, there were cherubim and palm trees engraved in the wall of the temple.
21 Gli stipiti dell’aula erano quadrangolari.
Davanti al santuario c’era come
21 The square threshold and the face of the sanctuary were one sight facing the other.
22 un altare di legno, alto tre cubiti, due cubiti di lunghezza e due di larghezza. Gli angoli, la base e i lati erano di legno. Mi disse: «Questa è la tavola che sta davanti al Signore».22 The altar of wood was three cubits in height, and its length was two cubits. And its corners, and its length, and its walls were of wood. And he said to me, “This is the table in the sight of the Lord.”
23 L’aula e il santuario avevano due porte ciascuno.23 And there were two doors in the temple and in the sanctuary.
24 Ogni porta aveva due battenti girevoli: due per una porta e due per l’altra.24 And in the two doors, on both sides, were two little doors, which were folded within each other. For two doors were on both sides of the doors.
25 Sulle porte erano dipinti cherubini e palme come sulle pareti: una cancellata di legno era sulla facciata del vestibolo all’esterno.25 And cherubim were engraved in the same doors of the temple, with the figures of palm trees, as were depicted also on the walls. For this reason also, the boards were thicker in the front of the vestibule on the exterior.
26 Finestre e grate e palme erano da tutt’e due le parti, ai lati del vestibolo, alle celle annesse al tempio e alle ali laterali.26 Upon these were the oblique windows, with the representation of palm trees on one side as well as on the other, at the sides of the vestibule, in accord with the sides of the house, and the width of the walls.
