Ezequiel 40

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 No ano vinte e cinco da nossa deportação, no começo do ano, no décimo mês, catorze anos após a queda da cidade, naquele mesmo dia, a mão do Senhor veio sobre mim. Deus me transportou,	1 In the twenty-fifth year of our transmigration, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was struck, on this very day, the hand of the Lord was placed upon me, and he brought me to that place.
2 no curso das visões divinas, à terra de Israel. Ele me colocou nos cimos de uma montanha muito elevada, sobre a qual pareciam elevar-se, do lado do meio-dia, as construções de uma cidade.	2 In the visions of God, he brought me into the land of Israel, and he released me on an exceedingly high mountain, on which there was something like the edifice of a city, verging toward the south.
3 Conduzido ao lugar, divisei um homem que parecia ser de bronze, levando nas mãos uma corda de linho e uma cana de agrimensor. Ele permanecia de pé à porta.	3 And he led me into that place. And behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a linen rope in his hand, and a measuring reed in his hand. And he was standing at the gate.
4 Esse homem dirigiu-me as seguintes palavras: Filho do homem, volta os teus olhos, escuta com teus ouvidos, e presta bem atenção a tudo quanto te vou mostrar, porque é para esse espetáculo que foste transportado até aqui. Darás conhecimento aos israelitas de tudo o que te vou mostrar.	4 And the same man said to me: “Son of man, look with your eyes, and listen with your ears, and set your heart upon all that I will reveal to you. For you have been brought to this place, so that these things may be revealed to you. Announce all that you see to the house of Israel.”
5 Um muro exterior formava o recinto do templo. O homem tinha na mão uma cana de agrimensor, de seis côvados {cada côvado tendo um palmo a mais que o côvado corrente}. Ele mediu a largura da construção - uma cana - e a altura - também uma cana.	5 And behold, there was a wall outside of the house, encircling it all around, and in the man’s hand was a measuring reed of six cubits and a palm. And he measured the width of the edifice with one reed; likewise, the height with one reed.
6 Voltou em seguida ao pórtico oriental; subiu os degraus e mediu a soleira da porta, que tinha uma cana de profundidade.	6 And he went to the gate which looked toward the east, and he ascended by its steps. And he measured the width of the threshold of the gate as one reed, that is, one threshold was one reed in width.
7 Cada câmara tinha uma cana de comprimento e uma cana de largura: entre cada câmara havia cinco côvados. A soleira do pórtico do lado do vestíbulo, para o interior, media uma cana.	7 And a chamber was one reed in length and one reed in width. And between the chambers, there were five cubits.
8 Ele mediu o vestíbulo do pórtico, para o interior.	8 And the threshold of the gate, next to the inner vestibule of the gate, was one reed.
9 Ele tinha oito côvados, e suas pilastras, dois côvados. Esse vestíbulo do pórtico estava situado no interior.	9 And he measured the vestibule of the gate as eight cubits, and its front as two cubits. But the vestibule of the gate was inside.
10 As câmaras do pórtico oriental eram em número de três de cada lado: Tinham todas as três as mesmas dimensões, do mesmo modo que as pilastras.	10 Moreover, the chambers of the gate, toward the way of the east, were three from one side to the other. The three were of one measure, and the fronts were of one measure, on both sides.
11 Ele mediu a largura do vão da porta: dez côvados; a extensão do pórtico era de treze côvados.	11 And he measured the width of the threshold of the gate as ten cubits, and the length of the gate as thirteen cubits.
12 Diante dos cômodos havia uma barreira de um côvado de cada lado. A própria câmara media seis côvados em cada direção.	12 And before the chambers, the border was one cubit. And on both sides, the border was one cubit. But the chambers were six cubits, from one side to the other.
13 Mediu o pórtico, desde o teto de uma câmara até o teto de outra: vinte e cinco côvados de largura, de porta a porta.	13 And he measured the gate, from the roof of one chamber to the roof of another, twenty-five cubits in width, from door to door.
14 Depois contou sessenta côvados para as pilastras, perto das quais se encontrava a átrio que rodeava o pórtico.	14 And he found the fronts to be sixty cubits. And at the front, there was a court for the gate on every side all around.
15 O espaço entre a porta de entrada e o vestíbulo da porta interior era de cinqüenta côvados.	15 And before the face of the gate, which extended even to the face of the vestibule of the gate of the interior, there were fifty cubits.
16 Havia nas câmaras e nas pilastras janelas gradeadas para o interior do pórtico; havia o mesmo nos vestíbulos: janelas se encontravam em toda a volta, dando para o interior. Sobre as pilastras, havia palmeiras.	16 And there were slanting windows in the chambers and at their fronts, which were within the gate on every side all around. And similarly, there were also windows in the vestibules all around the interior, and there were images of palm trees before the fronts.
17 Em seguida ele me fez entrar no átrio exterior onde vi câmaras, e um lajeamento disposto em redor do átrio: sobre esse lajeamento havia trinta câmaras.	17 And he led me away to the outer court, and behold, there were storerooms and a layer of pavement stones throughout the court. Thirty storerooms encircled the pavement.
18 O lajeamento se estendia de cada lado dos pórticos, numa extensão igual à extensão desse pórtico: era o pavimento interior.	18 And the pavement in front of the gates, along the length of the gates, was lower.
19 Ele mediu a largura desde a frente do pórtico interior até diante do ártrio interior: cem côvados ao leste e ao norte.	19 And he measured the width, from the face of the lower gate to the front of the outer part of the inner court, to be one hundred cubits, to the east and to the north.
20 Quanto ao pórtico setentrional do ártrio exterior, mediu a extensão e a largura.	20 Likewise, he measured the gate of the outer court, which looked to the way of the north, to be as much in length as in width.
21 Os aposentos eram em número de três de cada lado; suas pilastras e seus vestíbulos tinham as mesmas dimensões que as do primeiro pórtico: cinqüenta côvados de extensão por vinte e cinco de largura.	21 And its chambers were three from one side to the other. And its front and its vestibule, in accord with the measure of the former gate, were fifty cubits in its length and twenty-five cubits in width.
22 Suas janelas, seu vestíbulo e suas palmeiras tinham as mesmas dimensões que as do pórtico oriental. Chegava-se aí por sete degraus, em frente dos quais ficava o seu vestíbulo.	22 Now its windows, and the vestibule, and the engravings were in accord with the measure of the gate which looked to the east. And its ascent was by seven steps, and a vestibule was before it.
23 Diante do pórtico norte, como diante do pórtico oriental, havia uma porta com saída para o átrio interior. De um pórtico a outro contou cem côvados.	23 And the gate of the inner court was opposite the gate of the north, and that of the east. And he measured from gate to gate as one hundred cubits.
24 Ele me conduziu até o lado do meio-dia, onde vi o pórtico meridional. As pilastras e o vestíbulo, que mediu, tinham idêntica dimensão.	24 And he led me to the way of the south, and behold, there was a gate which looked toward the south. And he measured its front and its vestibule to be the same as the measures above.
25 Esse pórtico tinha, em todo o seu âmbito, assim como seu vestíbulo, janelas semelhantes às outras. Havia cinqüenta côvados de extensão por vinte e cinco de largura.	25 And its windows and the vestibule all around were like the other windows: fifty cubits in length and twenty-five cubits in width.
26 Chegava-se aí por sete degraus, em frente dos quais ficava o vestíbulo. De uma e outra parte havia palmeiras em suas pilastras.	26 And there were seven steps to ascend to it, and a vestibule before its doors. And there were engraved palm trees, one on each side, at its front.
27 O átrio interior tinha também um pórtico meridional. De um pórtico a outro, para o meio-dia, contou cem côvados.	27 And there was a gate at the inner court, on the way to the south. And he measured from one gate to another, on the way to the south, to be one hundred cubits.
28 Ele me fez entrar no átrio interior pelo pórtico meridional, o qual tinha as mesmas dimensões.	28 And he led me into the inner court, to the south gate. And he measured the gate to be in accord with the measures above.
29 Suas câmaras, pilastras e vestíbulo tinham as mesmas dimensões. Esse pórtico, assim como o seu vestíbulo, estavam guarnecidos de janelas em toda a volta. Suas dimensões eram: cinqüenta côvados de extensão por vinte e cinco de largura.	29 Its chamber, and its front, and its vestibule had the same measures. And its windows and its vestibule all around were fifty cubits in length, and twenty-five cubits in width.
30 Em toda a volta havia vestíbulos de vinte e cinco côvados de comprimento por cinco de largura.	30 And the vestibule all around was twenty-five cubits in length, and five cubits in width.
31 Seu vestíbulo se encontrava do lado do átrio exterior. Suas pilastras eram ornadas de palmeiras; subia-se até aí por uma escada de oito degraus.	31 And its vestibule was toward the outer court, and its palm trees were at the front. And there were eight steps to ascend to it.
32 Depois conduziu-me ao pórtico oriental do átrio interior, que ele mediu, e no qual encontrou as mesmas dimensões.	32 And he led me into the inner court, along the way of the east. And he measured the gate to be in accord with the measures above.
33 Tinham também as mesmas dimensões suas câmaras, pilastras e vestíbulo. O pórtico assim como seu vestíbulo, estavam guarnecidos de janelas em toda a sua extensão. Suas dimensões eram de cinqüenta côvados de comprimento por vinte e cinco de largura.	33 Its chamber, and its front, and its vestibule were as above. And its windows and its vestibules all around were fifty cubits in length, and twenty-five cubits in width.
34 Seu vestíbulo dava para o átrio exterior. Havia, de uma e outra parte, palmeiras em suas pilastras, e uma escada de oito degraus.	34 And it had a vestibule, that is, at the outer court. And the engraved palm trees at its front were on one side and the other. And its ascent was by eight steps.
35 Ele me conduziu então ao pórtico setentrional, que mediu, e no qual encontrou as mesmas dimensões,	35 And he led me to the gate which looked toward the north. And he measured it to be in accord with the measures above.
36 do mesmo modo que em suas câmaras, pilastras e vestíbulo. Havia janelas em toda a volta. As dimensões eram de cinqüenta côvados de comprimento por vinte e cinco de largura.	36 Its chamber, and its front, and its vestibule, and its windows all around were fifty cubits in length, and twenty-five cubits in width.
37 Seu vestíbulo dava para o átrio exterior. Havia, de uma a outra parte, palmeiras em suas pilastras, e uma escada de oito degraus.	37 And its vestibule looked toward the outer court. And an engraving of palm trees at its front was on one side and the other. And its ascent was by eight steps.
38 Havia uma sala, cuja porta se encontrava junto às pilastras dos pórticos; era lá que se lavavam os holocaustos.	38 And at each one of the storerooms, there was a door at the front of the gates. There, they washed the holocaust.
39 No vestíbulo do pórtico encontravam-se, de uma e outra parte, duas mesas nas quais se degolavam as vítimas destinadas aos sacrifícios pelo pecado e pelo delito.	39 And at the vestibule of the gate, there were two tables on one side, and two tables on the other side, so that the holocaust, and the offering for sin, and the offering for transgression could be immolated upon them.
40 No exterior, do lado norte, para quem subia no pórtico, encontravam-se duas mesas, e duas outras mesas do lado do vestíbulo desse pórtico.	40 And at the outer side, which ascends to the door of the gate that goes toward the north, there were two tables. And at the other side, before the vestibule of the gate, there were two tables.
41 Assim, quatro mesas de cada lado do pórtico, o que perfaz oito mesas, nas quais se degolavam as vítimas.	41 Four tables were on one side, and four tables were on the other side; along the sides of the gate, there were eight tables, upon which they immolated.
42 Havia, além disso, para os holocaustos, quatro mesas de pedra de cantaria, do comprimento de um côvado e meio, e a largura de um côvado e meio e a altura de um côvado. Depositavam-se nelas os instrumentos que serviam para degolar as vítimas dos holocaustos e dos sacrifícios.	42 Now the four tables for the holocausts were constructed of square stones: one and a half cubit in length, and one and a half cubits in width, and one cubit in height. Upon these, they placed the vessels, in which the holocaust and the victim were immolated.
43 Havia bordas da largura de um palmo em todo o âmbito interior. Era sobre essas mesas que eram depositadas as carnes sacrificadas.	43 And their edges were one palm in width, turned inward all around. And the flesh of the oblation was on the tables.
44 No átrio interior, fora do pórtico interior, ficavam os lugares dos cantores, um do lado do pórtico setentrional, olhando para o sul, outro do lado do pórtico oriental, olhando para o norte.	44 And outside the interior gate, there were storerooms for the cantors, in the inner court, which was beside the gate that looks toward the north. And their face was opposite the way to the south; one was beside the east gate, which looked toward the way of the north.
45 O homem disse-me: Esta câmara, que olha para o sul, é reservada aos sacerdotes que têm a guarda do templo;	45 And he said to me: “This is the storeroom that looks toward the south; it shall be for the priests who keep watch for the protection of the temple.
46 e a que olha para o norte é destinada aos sacerdotes que fazem o serviço do altar. Estes são os descendentes de Sadoc, {únicos} descendentes de Levi que {podem} aproximar-se do Senhor para o servirem.	46 Moreover, the storeroom that looks toward the north will be for the priests who keep watch over the ministry of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, those among the sons of Levi who may draw near to the Lord, so that they may minister to him.”
47 Mediu o átrio: era um quadrado de cem côvados de lado. O altar encontrava-se diante do edifício.	47 And he measured the court to be one hundred cubits in length, and one hundred cubits in width, with four equal sides. And the altar was before the face of the temple.
48 Ele conduziu-me então ao vestíbulo do templo, cujas pilastras mediu: cinco côvados de cada lado, enquanto a largura do pórtico era de três côvados de cada lado.	48 And he led me into the vestibule of the temple. And he measured the vestibule to be five cubits on one side, and five cubits on the other side. And the width of the gate was three cubits on one side, and three cubits on the other side.
49 O vestíbulo tinha vinte côvados de comprimento por onze de largura; chegava-se aí por degraus. Junto às pilastras, de uma e outra parte, havia {duas} colunas.	49 Now the length of the vestibule was twenty cubits, and the width was eleven cubits, and there were eight steps to ascend to it. And there were pillars at the front, one on this side and another on that side.
