The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 "'Message from God, the Master: The gate of the inside courtyard on the east is to be shut on the six working days, but open on the Sabbath. It is also to be open on the New Moon.
1
haec dicit Dominus Deus porta atrii interioris quae respicit ad orientem erit clausa sex diebus in quibus opus fit die autem sabbati aperietur sed et in die kalendarum aperietur
2 The prince will enter through the entrance area of the gate complex and stand at the gateposts as the priests present his burnt offerings and peace offerings while he worships there on the porch. He will then leave, but the gate won't be shut until evening.
2
et intrabit princeps per viam vestibuli portae de foris et stabit in limine portae et facient sacerdotes holocaustum eius et pacifica eius et adorabit super limen portae et egredietur porta autem non claudetur usque ad vesperam
3 On Sabbaths and New Moons, the people are to worship before God at the outside entrance to that gate complex.
3
et adorabit populus terrae ad ostium portae illius in sabbatis et in kalendis coram Domino
4 "'The prince supplies for God the burnt offering for the Sabbath - six unblemished lambs and an unblemished ram.
4
holocaustum autem hoc offeret princeps Domino in die sabbati sex agnos inmaculatos et arietem inmaculatum
5 The grain offering to go with the ram is about five and a half gallons plus a gallon of oil, and a handful of grain for each lamb.
5
et sacrificium oephi per arietem agnis autem sacrificium quod dederit manus eius et olei hin per singula oephi
6 "'At the New Moon he is to supply a bull calf, six lambs, and a ram, all without blemish.
6
in die autem kalendarum vitulum de armento inmaculatum et sex agni et arietes inmaculati erunt
7 He will also supply five and a half gallons of grain offering and a gallon of oil for both ram and bull, and a handful of grain offering for each lamb.
7
et oephi per vitulum oephi quoque per arietem faciet sacrificium agnis autem sicut invenerit manus eius et olei hin per singula oephi
8 "'When the prince enters, he will go through the entrance vestibule of the gate complex and leave the same way.
8
cumque ingressurus est princeps per viam vestibuli portae ingrediatur et per eandem viam exeat
9 "'But when the people of the land come to worship God at the commanded feasts, those who enter through the north gate will exit from the south gate, and those who enter though the south gate will exit from the north gate. You don't exit the gate through which you enter, but through the opposite gate.
9
et cum intrabit populus terrae in conspectu Domini in sollemnitatibus qui ingreditur per portam aquilonis ut adoret egrediatur per viam portae meridianae porro qui ingreditur per viam portae meridianae egrediatur per viam portae aquilonis non revertetur per viam portae per quam ingressus est sed e regione illius egredietur
10 The prince is to be there, mingling with them, going in and out with them.
10
princeps autem in medio eorum cum ingredientibus ingredietur et cum egredientibus egredietur
11 "'At the festivals and the commanded feasts, the appropriate grain offering is five and a half gallons, with a gallon of oil for the bull and ram and a handful of grain for each lamb.
11
et in nundinis et in sollemnitatibus erit sacrificium oephi per vitulum et oephi per arietem agnis autem erit sacrificium sicut invenerit manus eius et olei hin per singula oephi
12 "'When the prince brings a freewill offering to God, whether a burnt offering or a peace offering, the east gate is to be opened for him. He offers his burnt or peace offering the same as he does on the Sabbath. Then he leaves, and after he is out, the gate is shut.
12
cum autem fecerit princeps spontaneum holocaustum aut pacifica voluntaria Domino aperietur ei porta quae respicit ad orientem et faciet holocaustum suum et pacifica sua sicut fieri solet in die sabbati et egredietur claudeturque porta postquam exierit
13 "'Every morning you are to bring a yearling lamb unblemished for a burnt offering to God.
13
et agnum eiusdem anni inmaculatum faciet holocaustum cotidie Domino semper mane faciet illud
14 Also, every morning bring a grain offering of about a gallon of grain with a quart or so of oil to moisten it. Presenting this grain offering to God is standard procedure.
14
et sacrificium faciet super eo cata mane mane sextam partem oephi et de oleo tertiam partem hin ut misceatur similae sacrificium Domino legitimum iuge atque perpetuum
15 The lamb, the grain offering, and the oil for the burnt offering are a regular daily ritual.
15
faciet agnum et sacrificium et oleum cata mane mane holocaustum sempiternum
16 "'A Message from God, the Master: If the prince deeds a gift from his inheritance to one of his sons, it stays in the family.
16
haec dicit Dominus Deus si dederit princeps donum alicui de filiis suis hereditas eius filiorum suorum erit possidebunt ea hereditarie
17 But if he deeds a gift from his inheritance to a servant, the servant keeps it only until the year of liberation (the Jubilee year). After that, it comes back to the prince. His inheritance is only for his sons. It stays in the family.
17
si autem dederit legatum de hereditate sua uni servorum suorum erit illius usque ad annum remissionis et revertetur ad principem hereditas autem eius filiis eius erit
18 The prince must not take the inheritance from any of the people, dispossessing them of their land. He can give his sons only what he himself owns. None of my people are to be run off their land.'"
18
et non accipiet princeps de hereditate populi per violentiam et de possessione eorum sed de possessione sua hereditatem dabit filiis suis ut non dispergatur populus meus unusquisque a possessione sua
19 Then the man brought me through the north gate into the holy chambers assigned to the priests and showed me a back room to the west.
19
et introduxit me per ingressum qui erat ex latere portae in gazofilacia sanctuarii ad sacerdotes quae respiciebant ad aquilonem et erat ibi locus vergens ad occidentem
20 He said, "This is the kitchen where the priests will cook the guilt offering and sin offering and bake the grain offering so that they won't have to do it in the outside courtyard and endanger the unprepared people out there with The Holy."
20
et dixit ad me iste est locus ubi coquent sacerdotes pro delicto et pro peccato ubi coquent sacrificium ut non efferant in atrio exteriori et sanctificetur populus
21 He proceeded to take me to the outside courtyard and around to each of its four corners. In each corner I observed another court.
21
et eduxit me in atrium exterius et circumduxit me per quattuor angulos atrii et ecce atriolum erat in angulo atrii atriola singula per angulos atrii
22 In each of the four corners of the outside courtyard were smaller courts sixty by forty-five feet, each the same size.
22
in quattuor angulos atrii atriola disposita quadraginta cubitorum per longum et triginta per latum mensurae unius quattuor erant
23 On the inside walls of the courts was a stone shelf, and beneath the shelves, hearths for cooking.
23
et paries per circuitum ambiens quattuor atriola et culinae fabricatae erant subter porticus per gyrum
24 He said, "These are the kitchens where those who serve in the Temple will cook the sacrifices of the people."
24
et dixit ad me haec est domus culinarum in qua coquent ministri domus Domini victimas populi
