Livre d'Ézéchiel 42

BIBLES DES PEUPLES	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 L’homme me fit sortir en direction du nord, vers la cour intérieure; il me conduisit vers les salles qui donnaient sur la cour au nord du bâtiment.	1 And he brought me forth into the outward court by the way that leadeth to the north, and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the separate building, and over against the house toward the north.
2 Du côté du nord, les salles étaient longues de 100 coudées et larges de 50.	2 In the face of the north door was the length of a hundred cubits, and the breadth of fifty cubits.
3 Les portes de la cour intérieure s’ouvraient sur une galerie à trois étages donnant sur le pavage de la cour extérieure.	3 Over against the twenty cubits of the inner court, and over against the pavement of the outward court that was paved with stone, where there was a gallery joined to a triple gallery.
4 Devant les salles il y avait un couloir long de 100 coudées et large de 10; les entrées étaient au nord.	4 And before the chambers was a walk ten cubits broad, looking to the inner parts of a way of one cubit. And their doors were toward the north.
5 Les salles supérieures étaient plus étroites que les salles inférieures ou les salles intermédiaires, car les galeries empiétaient sur elles.	5 Where were the store chambers lower above: because they bore up the galleries, which appeared above out of them from the lower parts, and from the midst of the building.
6 En effet, ces galeries avaient trois étages et n’avaient pas de colonnes semblables à celles des cours; c’est pour cela qu’il y avait un rétrécissement par rapport aux salles inférieures ou à celles du milieu.	6 For they were of three stories, and had not pillars, as the pillars of the courts: therefore did they appear above out of the lower places, and out of the middle places, fifty cubits from the ground.
7 Le mur le long des salles à l’extérieur, en direction de la cour extérieure, était long de 50 coudées.	7 And the outward wall that went about by the chambers, which were towards the outward court on the forepart of the chambers, was fifty cubits long.
8 En effet, la longueur des salles qui regardait vers la cour extérieure était de 50 coudées alors que celles qui faisaient face au Temple en avait 100.	8 For the length of the chambers of the outward court was fifty cubits: and the length before the face of the temple, a hundred cubits.
9 En arrivant de la cour extérieure on trouvait au-dessous de ces salles, une entrée venant de l’est.	9 And there was under these chambers, an entrance from the east, for them that went into them out of the outward court.
10 Au milieu du mur de la cour, en direction du sud, il y avait des salles qui faisaient face à la cour et aux bâtiments.	10 In the breadth of the outward wall of the court that was toward the east, over against the separate building, and there were chambers before the building.
11 Un couloir passait devant elles, ces salles avaient le même aspect que les chambres qui se trouvaient au nord: même longueur, même largeur, même porte, même disposition, même entrée.	11 And the way before them was like the chambers which were toward the north: they wore as long as they, and as broad as they: and all the going is to them, and their fashions, and their doors were alike.
12 Au-dessous des salles qui regardaient vers le sud, il y avait une entrée au départ de chaque allée.	12 According to the doors of the chambers that were towards the south : there was a door in the head of the way, which way was before the porch, separated towards the east as one entereth in.
13 L’homme me dit alors: “Les salles du nord et les salles du sud qui regardent vers la cour sont les salles saintes où les prêtres qui s’approchent de Yahvé mangeront les viandes consacrées; c’est là qu’ils déposeront ce qui a été offert pour l’oblation, le sacrifice pour le péché et le sacrifice de réparation. C’est un lieu saint.	13 And he said to me: The chambers of the north, and the chambers of the south, which are before the separate building: they are holy chambers, in which the priests shall eat, that approach to the Lord into the holy of holies: there they shall lay the most holy things, and the offering for sin, and for trespass: for it is a holy place.
14 Lorsque les prêtres sortiront du sanctuaire vers la cour extérieure, ils quitteront là les vêtements avec lesquels ils ont officié, car ces vêtements sont saints. Ils en revêtiront d’autres et s’en iront alors vers la cour réservée au peuple.”	14 And when the priests shall have entered in, they shall not go out of the holy places into the outward court: but there they shall lay their vestments, wherein they minister, for they are holy: and they shall put on other garments, and so they shall go forth to the people.
15 Lorsque l’homme eut fini de mesurer les constructions intérieures, il me fit sortir par la porte est pour prendre les mesures de l’extérieur.	15 Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me out by the way of the gate that looked toward the east: and he measured it on every side round about.
16 Il mesura le côté est avec sa perche à mesurer et trouva la longueur de 500 perches.	16 And he measured toward the east with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about.
17 Il mesura le côté nord avec sa perche et trouva 500 perches.	17 And he measured toward the north five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about.
18 Il mesura encore le côté sud avec la perche et de nouveau trouva 500 perches.	18 And towards the south he measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about.
19 Il mesura enfin le côté ouest avec sa perche et trouva 500 perches.	19 And toward the west he measured five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed.
20 Il mesura ainsi les quatre côtés; un mur dont la longueur et la largeur étaient de 500 perches séparait le sacré du profane.	20 By the four winds he measured the wall thereof on every side round about, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits broad, making a separation between the sanctuary and the place of the people.
