Revised Standard Version RSV
1 et convertit me ad viam portae sanctuarii exterioris quae respiciebat ad orientem et erat clausa
1
Then he brought me back to the outer gate of the sanctuary, which faces east; and it was shut.
2 et dixit Dominus ad me porta haec clausa erit non aperietur et vir non transiet per eam quoniam Dominus Deus Israhel ingressus est per eam eritque clausa
2
And he said to me, "This gate shall remain shut; it shall not be opened, and no one shall enter by it; for the LORD, the God of Israel, has entered by it; therefore it shall remain shut.
3 principi princeps ipse sedebit in ea ut comedat panem coram Domino per viam vestibuli portae ingredietur et per viam eius egredietur
3
Only the prince may sit in it to eat bread before the LORD; he shall enter by way of the vestibule of the gate, and shall go out by the same way."
4 et adduxit me per viam portae aquilonis in conspectu domus et vidi et ecce implevit gloria Domini domum Domini et cecidi in faciem meam

5
And the LORD said to me, "Son of man, mark well, see with your eyes, and hear with your ears all that I shall tell you concerning all the ordinances of the temple of the LORD and all its laws; and mark well those who may be admitted to the temple and all those who are to be excluded from the sanctuary.
6 et dices ad exasperantem me domum Israhel haec dicit Dominus Deus sufficiant vobis omnia scelera vestra domus Israhel
6
And say to the rebellious house, to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord GOD: O house of Israel, let there be an end to all your abominations,
7 eo quod inducitis filios alienos incircumcisos corde et incircumcisos carne ut sint in sanctuario meo et polluant domum meam et offertis panes meos adipem et sanguinem et dissolvitis pactum meum in omnibus sceleribus vestris
7
in admitting foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and flesh, to be in my sanctuary, profaning it, when you offer to me my food, the fat and the blood. You have broken my covenant, in addition to all your abominations.
8 et non servastis praecepta sanctuarii mei et posuistis custodes observationum mearum in sanctuario meo vobismet ipsis
8
And you have not kept charge of my holy things; but you have set foreigners to keep my charge in my sanctuary.
9 haec dicit Dominus Deus omnis alienigena incircumcisus corde et incircumcisus carne non ingredietur sanctuarium meum omnis filius alienus qui est in medio filiorum Israhel
9
"Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and flesh, of all the foreigners who are among the people of Israel, shall enter my sanctuary.

12 pro eo quod ministraverunt illis in conspectu idolorum suorum et facti sunt domui Israhel in offendiculum iniquitatis idcirco levavi manum meam super eos dicit Dominus Deus et portaverunt iniquitatem suam
12
Because they ministered to them before their idols and became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I have sworn concerning them, says the Lord GOD, that they shall bear their punishment.
