Ezekieli 41
1 Ndipo munthuyo anapita nane mʼchipinda chopatulika cha Nyumba ya Mulungu ndipo anayeza khonde lake; mulifupi mwa khondelo munali mamita atatu mbali iliyonse kutalika kwake.
Then the man brought me into the outer sanctuary and measured the side pillars to be six cubits wide on each side.
2 Mulifupi mwa khomo munali motalika mamita asanu. Makoma a mbali zonse anali a mamita awiri ndi theka mulifupi mwake. Anayezanso kutalika kwa chipinda chopatulika chija ndipo mulitali mwake munali motalika mamita makumi awiri ndi mulifupi mwake munali mamita khumi.
The width of the entrance was ten cubits, and the sides of the entrance were five cubits on each side. He also measured the length of the outer sanctuary to be forty cubits, and the width to be twenty cubits.
3 Kenaka munthuyo anakalowa mʼkati ndipo anayeza khonde la pa khomo; khondelo linali mita imodzi mulifupi mwake. Mulifupi mwa khondelo munali mamita atatu.
And he went into the inner sanctuary and measured the side pillars at the entrance to be two cubits wide. The entrance was six cubits wide, and the walls on each side were seven cubits wide.
4 Ndiponso anayeza kutalika kwa chipinda chopatulika chenichenicho. Mulitali mwake munali mamita khumi, ndipo mulifupi mwake munali mamita khumi. Munthuyo anandiwuza kuti, “Ichi ndicho chipinda chopatulika kwambiri.”
Then he measured the room adjacent to the inner sanctuary to be twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. And he said to me, “This is the Most Holy Place.”
5 Tsono munthuyo anayeza khoma la Nyumba ya Mulungu; kuchindikira kwake kunali mamita atatu. Panalinso zipinda zina kuzungulira Nyumba ya Mulungu ndipo chilichonse chinali cha mamita awiri mulifupi wake.
Next he measured the wall of the temple to be six cubits thick, and the width of each side room around the temple was four cubits.
6 Zipindazo zinali zitatu zosanjikizana. Chigawo chilichonse chinali ndi zipinda makumi atatu. Pa makoma a Nyumba ya Mulungu panali zochirikiza zipindazo kuti zisatsamire khoma la Nyumba ya Mulungu.
The side rooms were arranged one above another in three levels of thirty rooms each. There were ledges all around the wall of the temple to serve as supports for the side rooms, so that the supports would not be fastened into the wall of the temple itself.
7 Zipinda za mʼmbalizo zinkapita zikulirakulira pomakwera chipinda ndi chipinda potsata kukulirakulira kwa zochirikiza za zipinda zija. Pambali pa Nyumba ya Mulungu panali makwerero okwerera pamwamba, kuchokera chigawo chapansi kudzera chapakati, mpaka kukafika pamwamba.
The side rooms surrounding the temple widened at each successive level, because the structure surrounding the temple ascended by stages corresponding to the narrowing of the temple wall as it rose upward. And so a stairway went up from the lowest story to the highest, through the middle one.
8 Ndinaona chiwundo kuzungulira Nyumba ya Mulungu. Chinapanga maziko a zipindazo ndipo chinali cha mamita atatu.
I saw that the temple had a raised base all around it, forming the foundation of the side rooms. It was the full length of a rod, six long cubits.
9 Khoma lakunja la zipindazo linali la mamita awiri ndi theka kuchindikira kwake. Pakati pa chiwundocho
The outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits thick, and the open area between the side rooms of the temple
10 ndi zipinda za Nyumba ya Mulungu panali bwalo limeneli la mamita khumi kupingasa kwake kuzungulira Nyumba yonse ya Mulungu.
and the outer chambers was twenty cubits wide all around the temple.
11 Zitseko za zipinda zamʼmbalizo zinali zotsekulira ku chiwundo. Chitseko chimodzi chinkayangʼana kumpoto ndipo china chinkayangʼana kummwera. Chiwundo chosamangapo kanthu chinali mamita awiri ndi theka kukula kwake kuzungulira ponseponse.
The side rooms opened into this area, with one entrance on the north and another on the south. The open area was five cubits wide all around.
12 Nyumba imene inali chakummwera moyangʼanana ndi bwalo la Nyumba ya Mulungu inali mamita 35 mulifupi mwake. Khoma la nyumbayo linali mamita awiri ndi theka kuchindikira kwake kuzungulira ponseponse, ndipo mulitali mwake linali mamita 45.
Now the building that faced the temple courtyard on the west was seventy cubits wide, and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, with a length of ninety cubits.
13 Ndipo munthuyo anayeza Nyumba ya Mulungu ndipo mulitali mwake inali mamita makumi asanu. Nyumbayo ndi makoma ake, zonse zinali za mamita makumi asanu.
Then he measured the temple to be a hundred cubits long, and the temple courtyard and the building with its walls were also a hundred cubits long.
14 Kumaso kwa Nyumba ya Mulungu chakummawa kwa bwalolo mulifupi mwake munali mamita makumi asanu.
The width of the temple courtyard on the east, including the front of the temple, was a hundred cubits.
15 Kenaka anayeza kutalika kwa nyumba yoyangʼanana ndi bwalo chakumadzulo kwa Nyumba ya Mulungu, kuphatikizapo njira zamʼkati ku mbali iliyonse. Kutalika kwake kunali mamita makumi asanu. Chipinda chachikulu cha Nyumba ya Mulungu, chimene chili chamʼkati, khonde lamʼkati loyangʼanana ndi bwalo,
Next he measured the length of the building facing the temple courtyard at the rear of the temple, including its galleries on each side; it was a hundred cubits. The outer sanctuary, the inner sanctuary, and the porticoes facing the court,
16 mazenera ndi maferemu ake, zonsezi zinali zokutidwa ndi matabwa. Pamwamba moyangʼanana ndi chiwundo, Nyumba ya Mulungu inakutidwa ndi matabwa kuyambira pansi mpaka ku mazenera, (mazenerawo anali okutidwa),
as well as the thresholds and the beveled windows and the galleries all around with their three levels opposite the threshold, were overlaid with wood on all sides. They were paneled from the ground to the windows, and the windows were covered.
17 pamwamba pa khomo lolowera ku malo opatulika amʼkati komanso kuzungulira makoma onse kunja ndi mʼkati,
In the space above the outside of the entrance to the inner sanctuary on all the walls, spaced evenly around the inner and outer sanctuary,
18 anajambulapo zithunzi za kerubi mmodzi atakhala pakati pa kanjedza muwiri. Kerubi aliyense anali ndi nkhope ziwiri:
were alternating carved cherubim and palm trees. Each cherub had two faces:
19 imodzi inali nkhope ya munthu yoyangʼana kanjedza mbali imodzi, ndi ina inali nkhope ya mkango yoyangʼana kanjedza mbali ina. Zinajambulidwa kuzungulira Nyumba ya Mulungu yonse.
the face of a man was toward the palm tree on one side, and the face of a young lion was toward the palm tree on the other side. They were carved all the way around the temple.
20 Motero kuyambira pansi mpaka pamwamba pa khomo komanso pa makoma onse a chipinda chachikulu cha Nyumba ya Mulungu, anajambula zithunzi za akerubi ndi kanjedza pa makoma onse a malo opatulika.
Cherubim and palm trees were carved on the wall of the outer sanctuary from the floor to the space above the entrance.
21 Mphuthu za chipinda chachikulu cha Nyumba ya Mulungu kutalika kwake mbali zonse kunali kofanana. Ndipo kumaso kwa malo opatulika kunali chinthu china chooneka ngati
The outer sanctuary had a rectangular doorframe, and the doorframe of the sanctuary was similar.
22 guwa lansembe la matabwa. Msinkhu wake unali mita imodzi ndi theka, mulitali mwake munali mita imodzi, mulifupi mwake munalinso mita imodzi. Mphuthu zake, tsinde lake ndi mbali zonse zinali za matabwa. Munthuyo anandiwuza kuti, “Tebulo limeneli ndilo limakhala pamaso pa Yehova.”
There was an altar of wood three cubits high and two cubits square. Its corners, base, and sides were of wood. And the man told me, “This is the table that is before the LORD.”
23 Chipinda chachikulu chija chinali ndi zitseko ziwiri. Malo opatulika aja analinso ndi zitseko ziwiri.
Both the outer sanctuary and the inner sanctuary had double doors,
24 Chitseko chilichonse chinali ndi zigawo ziwiri zopatukana.
and each door had two swinging panels. There were two panels for one door and two for the other.
25 Ndipo pa zitsekopo anajambulipo zithunzi za akerubi ndi kanjedza monga zomwe anajambulapo pa makoma. Kunja kwake kunali ngati denga lamatabwa pamwamba pa khonde lamʼkati.
Cherubim and palm trees like those on the walls were carved on the doors of the outer sanctuary, and there was a wooden canopy outside, on the front of the portico.
26 Pa mbali zonse za khonde lamʼkatilo panali mazenera, ndipo pa makoma ake onse anajambulapo zithunzi za kanjedza.
There were beveled windows and palm trees on the sidewalls of the portico. The side rooms of the temple also had canopies.
