Livre d'Ézéchiel 42

BIBLES DES PEUPLES	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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 led me into the outer court by the way that leads to the north, and he led me into the storeroom that was opposite the separate edifice, and opposite the shrine that verges toward the north.
2 Du côté du nord, les salles étaient longues de 100 coudées et larges de 50.	2 The length of the face of the north gate was one hundred cubits, and the width was 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 Opposite the twenty cubits of the interior court, and opposite the layer of pavement stones in the outer court, in that place, there was a portico joined to a triple portico.
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 storerooms, there was a walkway of ten cubits in width, looking toward the interior along 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 In that place, there were storerooms in the upper part of the lower level. For they supported the porticos, which projected from them out of the lower level, and out of the middle 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 levels, and they did not have pillars, as they were like the pillars of the courts. Because of this, they projected from the lower levels and from the middle, 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 exterior enclosing wall, adjacent to the storerooms that were along the way of the exterior court in front of the storerooms, 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 storerooms of the exterior court was fifty cubits, and the length before the face of the temple was one hundred cubits.
9 En arrivant de la cour extérieure on trouvait au-dessous de ces salles, une entrée venant de l’est.	9 And under these storerooms, there was an entrance from the east, for those who were entering into it from the outer 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 width of the enclosing wall of the court that was opposite the way of the east, at the face of the separate edifice, there were also storerooms, before the edifice.
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 their face was in accord with the form of the storerooms which were along the way of the north. As was their length, so also was their width. And the entire entrance, and the likenesses, and their doors
12 Au-dessous des salles qui regardaient vers le sud, il y avait une entrée au départ de chaque allée.	12 were in accord with the doors of the storerooms that were on the way looking toward the Renown. There was a door at the head of the way, and the way was before a separate vestibule, along the way entering toward the east.
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 storerooms of the north, and the storerooms of the south, which are before the separate edifice, these are holy storerooms, in which the priests, who draw near to the Lord in the Holy of Holies, shall eat. There they shall station the Holy of Holies, and the offering for sin, and for trespasses. 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 will have entered, they shall not depart from the holy places into the outer court. And in that place, they shall set their vestments, in which they minister, for they are holy. And they shall be clothed with other vestments, and in this manner 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 And when he had completed measuring the inner house, he led me out along the way of the gate that looked toward the way of the east. And he measured it on every side all around.
16 Il mesura le côté est avec sa perche à mesurer et trouva la longueur de 500 perches.	16 Then he measured facing the east wind with the measuring reed: five hundred reeds with the measuring reed throughout the course.
17 Il mesura le côté nord avec sa perche et trouva 500 perches.	17 And he measured facing the wind of the north: five hundred reeds with the measuring reed throughout the course.
18 Il mesura encore le côté sud avec la perche et de nouveau trouva 500 perches.	18 And toward the south wind, he measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed throughout the course.
19 Il mesura enfin le côté ouest avec sa perche et trouva 500 perches.	19 And toward the west wind, 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 its wall, on every side throughout the course: five hundred cubits in length and five hundred cubits in width, dividing between the sanctuary and the place of the common people.
