Ezekiel 41

1 પછી તે મને પવિત્રસ્થાને લઇ આવ્યો અને તેના પ્રવેશદ્વારની બારસાખનું માપ લીધું તો તે દરેક બાજુએ 6 હાથ ઊંડી હતી.

2 અને પહોળાઇ 10 હાથ હતી. પ્રવેશદ્વારની બંને બાજુએ ભીતો પાંચ પાંચ હાથ જાડી હતી. પવિત્રસ્થાનની જ્યારે તેણે લંબાઈ માપી તો તે 40 હાથ હતી અને પહોળાઈ 20 હાથ હતી.

3 પછી તે પવિત્રસ્થાનની પાછળના અંદરના ભાગમાં એટલે પરમપવિત્ર મંદિરમાં ગયો. તેણે પ્રવેશ આગળના સ્તંભો માપ્યા. તે દરેક 2 હાથ પહોળા હતા. તેનો પ્રવેશ 6 હાથ પહોળો હતો અને તેની બંને તરફની ભીંતો 7 હાથ પહોળી હતી.

4 પછી તેણે પરમપવિત્ર સ્થાનનો ઓરડો માપ્યો તો તે 2 હાથ પહોળો અને 20 હાથ લાંબો હતો. પછી તેણે મને કહ્યું, “આ પરમ પવિત્ર સ્થાન છે.”

5 ત્યાર પછી તેણે મંદિરની બહારની ભીતની જાડાઇ માપી તો તે 6હાથ પહોળી હતી. અને સમગ્ર મંદિરમાં નાની ઓરડીઓ 4 હાથ પહોળી હતી. અને તેની બાજુની ઓરડી બાર ઇંચ પહોળી હતી (મંદિરની આજુબાજુ).

6 એ ઓરડીઓ એક ઉપર એક આવેલી હતી. ત્રણ માળ મળીને કુલ 30 હતી. મંદિરની ભીંતની જાડાઇ દરેક માળે ઓછી થતી જતી હતી એટલે દરેક માળે એ ભીતમાં ખાંચો રહેતો હતો. તેથી ઓરડીઓ મંદિરની ભીંતમાં કાણાં પાડ્યા વગર એ ખાંચાને ટેકે રહી શકતી હતી.

7 આ ઓરડીઓને લીધે મંદિરની બહારની બાજુએથી ભીંતો તળિયાથી તે મથાળા સુધી સરખી જાડાઇની લાગતી હતી. મંદિરની ફરતે બાંધેલી ઓરડીઓની બહારની બાજુએ દાદરો હતો. તેથી નીચેના માળથી વચલા અને ઉપલા માળે જઇ શકાતું હતું.

8 મેં જોયું કે મંદિર ઊંચા ઓટલા પર બાંધેલું હતું. ઓરડીઓનો પાયો ઓટલા સાથે સમતલ હતો. ઓટલાની ઊંચાઇ6 હાથ હતી.

9 આ ઓરડીઓની બહારની ભીંત 5 હાથ જાડી હતી.

10 આ ઓરડીઓની અને યાજકોની ઓરડીઓ વચ્ચે મંદિરની ચારેબાજુ 20 હાથનું અંતર હતું. તે ફાજલ જગ્યા કહેવાતી હતી.

11 ઓરડીઓમાં પ્રવેશવા માટે ફાજલ જગ્યામાંથી એક ઉત્તર તરફ અને બીજો દક્ષિણ તરફ એમ બે પ્રવેશ હતા. ફાજલ જગ્યા સાથે જોડાતા આ બંને પ્રવેશની પહોળાઇ પાંચ પાંચ હાથ હતી.

12 મંદિર પાછળની ખુલ્લી જગ્યાની પશ્ચિમ બાજુએ એક મકાન હતું. તે 70 હાથ પહોળું અને 90 હાથ લાંબું હતું. તેની ચારે બાજુની ભીતો 5 હાથ જાડી હતી.

13 તે માણસે મંદિરની બહારની બાજુનું માપ લીધું તો તે 100 હાથ લાંબું હતું. અને ખુલ્લી જગ્યા, મકાન અને તેની ભીતો કુલ મળીને 100 હાથ થતા હતા. મંદિરની પછી તથા ચોકમાં થઇને પશ્ચિમ છેડાના મકાન સુધીનું અંતર 100 હાથ હતું.

14 મંદિરના આગલા ભાગની લંબાઇ બંને બાજુની ખુલ્લી જગ્યા સહિત 100 હાથ હતી.

15 તેણે પવિત્રસ્થાન પશ્ચિમે આવેલું મકાનનું અને તેની બંને બાજુની ભીતોનું માપ લીધું તો તે 100 હાથ હતું.

16 મંદિરનો પ્રવેશખંડ, મંડપ અને ગર્ભગૃહને બધે જ ભોંયતળિયાથી તે બારીઓ સુધી લાકડાની તકતીઓ જડેલી હતી. એ બારીઓ ઢાંકી દઇ શકાય એમ હતું.

17 મંડપની ભીતો ઉપર બારણાના મથાળા સુધી ખજૂરીના વૃક્ષો અને કરૂબો કોતરેલા હતાં:

18 પહેલાં એક ખજૂરીનું વૃક્ષ અને પછી એક કરૂબ એ ક્રમમાં આખા મંડપની ફરતે કોતરેલું હતું. દરેક કરૂબને બે મોઢાં હતાં.

19 માણસનું મોઢું એક બાજુના ખજૂરીવૃક્ષ તરફ હતું અને સિંહનું મોઢું બીજી બાજુના ખજૂરીવૃક્ષ તરફ હતું. આખી ભીત ઉપર આ પ્રમાણે કોતરેલું હતું.

20 ભોંયતળિયાથી તે બારણાના મથાળા સુધી કરૂબો તથા ખજૂરીઓની કોતરણી કરેલી હતી.

21 પવિત્રસ્થાનના બારણાં આગળની બારસાખો ચોરસ હતી. અને તે જ પ્રમાણે પરમપવિત્રસ્થાનના બારણાની બારસાખો પણ ચોરસ હતી.

22 પરમપવિત્રસ્થાનમાં લાકડાની વેદી હતી, તે 3 હાથ ઊંચી અને 2 હાથ પહોળી હતી, તેના ખૂણા, પાયા, તથા બાજુઓ લાકડાના બનેલા હતા. તેણે મને કહ્યું કે, “આ યહોવાની સંમુખ રહેનારી મેજ છે.”

23 મંદિરને તથા પરમપવિત્રસ્થાનને બે બારણાં હતાં.

24 પ્રત્યેક બારણાને બે કમાડ હતાં, બે ફરતાં કમાડ હતાં; એક બારણાને બે કમાડ, ને બીજા બારણાને પણ બે.

25 ભીંતની જેમ મંદિરના બારણાં પર પણ ખજૂરીવૃક્ષ અને કરૂબોની કોતરણી હતી. ઓસરીના બારણા બહાર લાકડાનું એક છાપરૂં હતું.

26 એ ઓસરીની બંને બાજુએ ભીંતોમાં બારીઓ હતી અને બંને તરફ ખજૂરીવૃક્ષની કોતરણી હતી. મંદિરની બાજુની ઓરડીઓ પર પણ જાડા ભારોટિયા હતાં.

1 Afterward he brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, which was the breadth of the tabernacle.

2 And the breadth of the door was ten cubits; and the sides of the door were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured the length thereof, forty cubits: and the breadth, twenty cubits.

3 Then went he inward, and measured the post of the door, two cubits; and the door, six cubits; and the breadth of the door, seven cubits.

4 So he measured the length thereof, twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said unto me, This is the most holy place.

5 After he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every side chamber, four cubits, round about the house on every side.

6 And the side chambers were three, one over another, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which was of the house for the side chambers round about, that they might have hold, but they had not hold in the wall of the house.

7 And there was an enlarging, and a winding about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house was still upward, and so increased from the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst.

8 I saw also the height of the house round about: the foundations of the side chambers were a full reed of six great cubits.

9 The thickness of the wall, which was for the side chamber without, was five cubits: and that which was left was the place of the side chambers that were within.

10 And between the chambers was the wideness of twenty cubits round about the house on every side.

11 And the doors of the side chambers were toward the place that was left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south: and the breadth of the place that was left was five cubits round about.

12 Now the building that was before the separate place at the end toward the west was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick round about, and the length thereof ninety cubits.

13 So he measured the house, an hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with the walls thereof, an hundred cubits long;

14 Also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, an hundred cubits.

15 And he measured the length of the building over against the separate place which was behind it, and the galleries thereof on the one side and on the other side, an hundred cubits, with the inner temple, and the porches of the court;

16 The door posts, and the narrow windows, and the galleries round about on their three stories, over against the door, cieled with wood round about, and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows were covered;

17 To that above the door, even unto the inner house, and without, and by all the wall round about within and without, by measure.

18 And it was made with cherubims and palm trees, so that a palm tree was between a cherub and a cherub; and every cherub had two faces;

19 So that the face of a man was toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side: it was made through all the house round about.

20 From the ground unto above the door were cherubims and palm trees made, and on the wall of the temple.

21 The posts of the temple were squared, and the face of the sanctuary; the appearance of the one as the appearance of the other.

22 The altar of wood was three cubits high, and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were of wood: and he said unto me, This is the table that is before the Lord.

23 And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors.

24 And the doors had two leaves apiece, two turning leaves; two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other door.

25 And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubims and palm trees, like as were made upon the walls; and there were thick planks upon the face of the porch without.

26 And there were narrow windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch, and upon the side chambers of the house, and thick planks.

1 And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

2 Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou art as a whale in the seas: and thou camest forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers.

3 Thus saith the Lord God; I will therefore spread out my net over thee with a company of many people; and they shall bring thee up in my net.

4 Then will I leave thee upon the land, I will cast thee forth upon the open field, and will cause all the fowls of the heaven to remain upon thee, and I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with thee.

5 And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with thy height.

6 I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, even to the mountains; and the rivers shall be full of thee.

7 And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.

8 All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord God.

9 I will also vex the hearts of many people, when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not known.

10 Yea, I will make many people amazed at thee, and their kings shall be horribly afraid for thee, when I shall brandish my sword before them; and they shall tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of thy fall.

11 For thus saith the Lord God; The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee.

12 By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy multitude to fall, the terrible of the nations, all of them: and they shall spoil the pomp of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shall be destroyed.

13 I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from beside the great waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of beasts trouble them.

14 Then will I make their waters deep, and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord God.

15 When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate, and the country shall be destitute of that whereof it was full, when I shall smite all them that dwell therein, then shall they know that I am the Lord.

16 This is the lamentation wherewith they shall lament her: the daughters of the nations shall lament her: they shall lament for her, even for Egypt, and for all her multitude, saith the Lord God.

17 It came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

18 Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, even her, and the daughters of the famous nations, unto the nether parts of the earth, with them that go down into the pit.

19 Whom dost thou pass in beauty? go down, and be thou laid with the uncircumcised.

20 They shall fall in the midst of them that are slain by the sword: she is delivered to the sword: draw her and all her multitudes.

21 The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of hell with them that help him: they are gone down, they lie uncircumcised, slain by the sword.

22 Asshur is there and all her company: his graves are about him: all of them slain, fallen by the sword:

23 Whose graves are set in the sides of the pit, and her company is round about her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which caused terror in the land of the living.

24 There is Elam and all her multitude round about her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which are gone down uncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth, which caused their terror in the land of the living; yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit.

25 They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude: her graves are round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword: though their terror was caused in the land of the living, yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of them that be slain.

26 There is Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude: her graves are round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though they caused their terror in the land of the living.

27 And they shall not lie with the mighty that are fallen of the uncircumcised, which are gone down to hell with their weapons of war: and they have laid their swords under their heads, but their iniquities shall be upon their bones, though they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living.

28 Yea, thou shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shalt lie with them that are slain with the sword.

29 There is Edom, her kings, and all her princes, which with their might are laid by them that were slain by the sword: they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit.

30 There be the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, which are gone down with the slain; with their terror they are ashamed of their might; and they lie uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword, and bear their shame with them that go down to the pit.

31 Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude, even Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword, saith the Lord God.

32 For I have caused my terror in the land of the living: and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain with the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord God.
