Ezekiel 41
Biblija: suvremeni hrvatski prijevod
Svetište u Hramu
41 Potom me čovjek uveo u glavnu dvoranu Hrama. Izmjerio je pregradne zidove na obje strane ulaza u prostoriju. Svaki je bio debljine tri metra.[a] 2 Ulaz je bio širok pet metara, a njegovi zidovi s obje strane široki dva i pol metra. Izmjerio je i dvoranu. Bila je dvadeset metara dugačka i deset metara široka.
Najsvetiji dio Svetišta
3 Zatim je otišao iz glavne dvorane i ušao u krajnju prostoriju. Izmjerio je pregradne zidove sa svake strane ulaza. Svaki je bio debljine jedan metar. Ulaz je bio širok tri metra, a pregradni zidovi sa svake strane ulaza tri i pol metra. 4 Izmjerio je dužinu i širinu prostorije. Bila je dužine deset metara i širine deset metara. Rekao mi je: »Ovo je Svetinja nad svetinjama.«
Prostorije uza zidove Hrama
5 Izmjerio je zid hramske zgrade. Bio je debljine tri metra. Svud oko hramske zgrade nizale su se druge hramske prostorije. Svaka je od njih bila širine dva metra, 6 a bile su građene na tri razine. Na svakom je katu bilo trideset prostorija. Hramski je zid bio građen s izbočinama koje su služile kao nosači dograđenih prostorija. Prostorije, stoga, nisu bile pričvršćene izravno za hramski zid. 7 Svaki je sljedeći kat oko cijelog Hrama bio širi od onoga ispod. Zidovi prostorija na višim katovima bili su sve uži te su prostorije na višim katovima bile šire. Stubište je povezivalo najnižu, srednju i najvišu razinu.
8 Uočio sam također da cijeli Hram leži na uzdignutom podestu koji je također služio kao podloga prostorijama uz hramski zid. Podest je bio visok tri metra, što je odgovaralo punoj dužini jednoga mjernog štapa. 9 Debljina vanjskih zidova prostorija bila je dva i pol metra. Prolaz između njih 10 i prostorija za svećenike bio je širok deset metara i pružao se oko cijelog Hrama. 11 Vrata na prostorijama uz hramski zid otvarala su se na taj prolaz. U njega se ulazilo kroz jedan ulaz na sjevernoj, a drugi na južnoj strani. Širina zida oko toga otvorenog prostora[b] bila je dva i pol metra.
12 Prema tome otvorenom prostoru, sa zapadne strane Hrama, bila je zasebna građevina dugačka trideset i pet te široka četrdeset i pet metara. Zid je građevine bio svuda uokolo debljine dva i pol metra. 13 Čovjek je tada izmjerio Hram. Bio je dugačak pedeset metara. Otvoreni prostor i druga građevina sa zidovima također su bili ukupne dužine pedeset metara. 14 Dvorište na istočnoj strani, ispred Hrama, bilo je također širine pedeset metara.
15 Tada je čovjek izmjerio širinu zasebne građevine koja gleda na dvorište iza Hrama. Udaljenost od jednog do drugog kraja, uključujući balkone, iznosila je pedeset metara.
Unutrašnjost glavne dvorane i ulaznog dijela Hrama 16 bili su potpuno obloženi drvom. Svi su prozori i vrata imali drvene okvire. Drvene su oplate pokrivale zidove Hrama od poda do prozora pa sve do prostora iznad 17 ulaznih vrata.
Svi su unutrašnji i vanjski zidovi Hrama bili ukrašeni 18 krilatim bićima i palmama. Pravilno su se izmjenjivali urezani likovi palmi i krilatih bića. Svako je krilato biće imalo po dva lica. 19 Jedno lice, lice ljudskog bića, gledalo je palmu s jedne strane, dok je drugo lice, lice lava, gledalo prema palmi s druge strane. Likovi su se nizali duž stijenki zidova cijeloga Hrama. 20 Krilata bića i palme ukrašavali su sve zidove glavne dvorane, od poda do prostora iznad vrata.
21 Dovratnici su glavne dvorane imali oblik kvadrata. Ispred ulaza u Svetinju nad svetinjama bilo je nešto nalik 22 drvenom žrtveniku. Bio je metar i pol visok, a dugačak i širok po jedan metar. Njegovi su uglovi, podloga i stijenke bili od drva. Čovjek mi je rekao: »Ovaj stol stoji pred samim BOGOM.«
23 Glavna dvorana i Svetinja nad svetinjama imale su dvostruka dvokrilna vrata. 24 Svaka su vrata bila izrađena od dva krila. 25 Vrata na ulazu u glavnu dvoranu bila su ukrašena urezanim krilatim bićima i palmama, poput onih na zidovima. Nad vanjskim je pročeljem ulaznog dijela bila drvena nadstrešnica[c]. 26 Prozori s drvenim okvirima i ukrasi od palmi bili su s obje strane ulaznog prostora, na nadstrešnici i na prostorijama uz hramski zid.

Ezekiel 41
New King James Version
Dimensions of the Sanctuary
41 Then he (A)brought me into the [a]sanctuary and measured the doorposts, six cubits wide on one side and six cubits wide on the other side—the width of the tabernacle. 2 The width of the entryway was ten cubits, and the side walls of the entrance were five cubits on this side and five cubits on the other side; and he measured its length, forty cubits, and its width, twenty cubits.
3 Also he went inside and measured the doorposts, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits high; and the width of the entrance, seven cubits. 4 (B)He measured the length, twenty cubits; and the width, twenty cubits, beyond the sanctuary; and he said to me, “This is the Most Holy Place.”
The Side Chambers on the Wall
5 Next, he measured the wall of the [b]temple, six cubits. The width of each side chamber all around the temple was four cubits on every side. 6 (C)The side chambers were in three stories, one above the other, thirty chambers in each story; they rested on [c]ledges which were for the side chambers all around, that they might be supported, but (D)not fastened to the wall of the temple. 7 As one went up from story to story, the side chambers (E)became wider all around, because their supporting ledges in the wall of the temple ascended like steps; therefore the width of the structure increased as one went up from the lowest story to the highest by way of the middle one. 8 I also saw an elevation all around the temple; it was the foundation of the side chambers, (F)a full rod, that is, six cubits high. 9 The thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits, and so also the remaining terrace by the place of the side chambers of the [d]temple. 10 And between it and the wall chambers was a width of twenty cubits all around the temple on every side. 11 The doors of the side chambers opened on the terrace, one door toward the north and another toward the south; and the width of the terrace was five cubits all around.
The Building at the Western End
12 The building that faced the separating courtyard at its western end was seventy cubits wide; the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length ninety cubits.
Dimensions and Design of the Temple Area
13 So he measured the temple, one (G)hundred cubits long; and the separating courtyard with the building and its walls was one hundred cubits long; 14 also the width of the eastern face of the temple, including the separating courtyard, was one hundred cubits. 15 He measured the length of the building behind it, facing the separating courtyard, with its (H)galleries on the one side and on the other side, one hundred cubits, as well as the inner [e]temple and the porches of the court, 16 their doorposts and (I)the beveled window frames. And the galleries all around their three stories opposite the threshold were paneled with (J)wood from the ground to the windows—the windows were covered— 17 from the space above the door, even to the inner [f]room, as well as outside, and on every wall all around, inside and outside, by measure.
18 And it was made (K)with cherubim and (L)palm trees, a palm tree between cherub and cherub. Each cherub had two faces, 19 (M)so that the face of a man was toward a palm tree on one side, and the face of a young lion toward a palm tree on the other side; thus it was made throughout the temple all around. 20 From the floor to the space above the door, and on the wall of the sanctuary, cherubim and palm trees were carved.
21 The (N)doorposts of the temple were square, as was the front of the sanctuary; their appearance was similar. 22 (O)The altar was of wood, three cubits high, and its length two cubits. Its corners, its length, and its sides were of wood; and he said to me, “This is (P)the table that is (Q)before the Lord.”
23 (R)The temple and the sanctuary had two doors. 24 The doors had two (S)panels apiece, two folding panels: two panels for one door and two panels for the other door. 25 Cherubim and palm trees were carved on the doors of the temple just as they were carved on the walls. A wooden canopy was on the front of the vestibule outside. 26 There were (T)beveled window frames and palm trees on one side and on the other, on the sides of the vestibule—also on the side chambers of the temple and on the canopies.

The Inner Temple
41 Then he brought me to (A)the nave and measured the (B)jambs. On each side six cubits[a] was the breadth of the jambs.[b] 2 And the breadth of the entrance was ten cubits, and the sidewalls of the entrance were five cubits on either side. And he measured the length of the nave,[c] (C)forty cubits, and its breadth, (D)twenty cubits. 3 Then he went (E)into the inner room and measured the jambs of the entrance, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits; and the sidewalls on either side[d] of the entrance, seven cubits. 4 And he measured (F)the length of the room, twenty cubits, and its breadth, twenty cubits, across (G)the nave. And he said to me, “This is (H)the Most Holy Place.”
5 Then he measured the wall of the temple, six cubits thick, and the breadth of (I)the side chambers, four cubits, (J)all around the temple. 6 And the side chambers were in three stories, one over another, (K)thirty in each story. There were offsets[e] all around the wall of the temple to serve as supports for the side chambers, (L)so that they should not be supported by the wall of the temple. 7 And it became broader as it wound upward to the side chambers, because the temple was enclosed upward all around the temple. Thus the temple had a broad area upward, and (M)so one went up from the lowest story to the top story through the middle story. 8 I saw also that the temple had a raised platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers measured a full reed of (N)six long cubits. 9 The thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits. (O)The free space between the side chambers of the temple 10 and the (P)other chambers was a breadth of (Q)twenty cubits all around the temple on every side. 11 And the doors of the (R)side chambers opened on (S)the free space, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south. And the breadth of the free space was five cubits all around.
12 The building that was facing (T)the separate yard on the west side was seventy cubits broad, and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length ninety cubits.
13 Then he measured the temple, (U)a hundred cubits long; and the yard and the building with its walls, a hundred cubits long; 14 also the breadth of the east front of the temple and the yard, a hundred cubits.
15 Then he measured the length of (V)the building facing the yard that was at the back and (W)its galleries[f] on either side, a hundred cubits.
The inside of the nave and the vestibules of the court, 16 (X)the thresholds and (Y)the narrow windows and the galleries all around the three of them, opposite the threshold, were paneled with wood all around, from the floor up to the windows (now the windows were covered), 17 to the space above the door, even to the inner room, and on the outside. And on all the walls all around, inside and outside, was a measured pattern.[g] 18 It was carved of (Z)cherubim and (AA)palm trees, a palm tree between cherub and cherub. Every cherub had two faces: 19 (AB)a human face toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side. They were carved on the whole temple all around. 20 From the floor to above the door, cherubim and palm trees were carved; similarly the wall of the nave.
21 The doorposts of (AC)the nave were squared, and in front of (AD)the Holy Place was something resembling 22 (AE)an altar of wood, three cubits high, two cubits long, and two cubits broad.[h] Its corners, its base,[i] and its walls were of wood. He said to me, “This is (AF)the table that is before the Lord.” 23 The nave and the Holy Place had each (AG)a double door. 24 The double doors had two leaves apiece, (AH)two swinging leaves for each door. 25 And on the doors of the nave were carved cherubim and palm trees, (AI)such as were carved on the walls. And there was (AJ)a canopy[j] of wood in front of (AK)the vestibule outside. 26 And there were (AL)narrow windows and palm trees on either side, on the sidewalls of the vestibule, (AM)the side chambers of the temple, and the (AN)canopies.
