Ezekieli 42
1 Pambuyo pake munthuyo anapita nane ku bwalo lakunja chakumpoto ndipo anafika nane ku zipinda zoyangʼanana ndi bwalo la Nyumba ya Mulungu ndi nyumba ina yakumpoto.
And he brought me into the inner court eastward, opposite the northern gate: and he brought me in, and behold five chambers near the vacant space, and near the northern partition,
2 Nyumba yakumpotoyi mulitali mwake munali mamita makumi asanu, mulifupi mwake munali mamita 25.
a hundred cubits in length toward the north, and in breadth fifty,
3 Panali midadada iwiri, umodzi umayangʼanana ndi bwalo lamʼkati la mamita khumi, winawo umayangʼanana ndi bwalo lakunja. Midadada iwiriyi inali ya nyumba zitatu zosanjikana ndipo imayangʼanana.
ornamented accordingly as the gates of the inner court, and arranged accordingly as the peristyles of the outer court, [with] triple porticos fronting one another.
4 Kumaso kwa zipindazo kunali njira yamʼkati, mulifupi mwake munali mamita asanu, mulitali mwake munali mamita makumi asanu. Makomo ake analoza chakumpoto.
And in front of the chambers was a walk ten cubits in breadth, the length [reaching] to a hundred cubits; and their doors were northward.
5 Zipinda zammwamba zinali zazifupi mʼmimbamu kupambana zipinda zamʼmunsi ndi zipinda zapakati chifukwa njira zake zinatenga malo ambiri.
And the upper walks were in like manner: for the peristyle projected from it, [even] from the range of columns below, and [there was] a space between; so [were there] a peristyle and a space between, and so [were there] two porticos.
6 Popeza zipinda zinali zosanjikizana katatu ndipo zinalibe nsanamira monga za mabwalo, motero zipinda zamʼmwamba zinali zochepa kuyerekeza ndi zipinda zapansi ndi zipinda zapakati.
For they were triple, and they had not pillars like the pillars of the outer ones: therefore they projected from the lower ones and the middle ones from the ground.
7 Panali khoma lakunja lomwe limatsatana ndi zipindazo kutsogolo kwake pambali pabwalo lakunja, kutalika kwake kunali mamita 25.
And [there was] light without, corresponding to the chambers of the outer court looking toward the front of the northern chambers; the length [of them was] fifty cubits.
8 Zipinda za mʼmbali mwa bwalo lakunja mulitali mwake munali mamita 25. Koma zomwe zinali mʼmbali mwa Nyumba ya Mulungu, mulitali mwake munali mamita makumi asanu.
For the length of the chambers looking toward the inner court was fifty cubits, and these are the ones that front the others; the whole was a hundred cubits.
9 Pansi pa zipinda zimenezi panali khomo chakummawa kuchokera ku bwalo lakunja kumene khoma lake linkayambira.
And [there were] doors of these chambers for an outlet toward the east, so that one should go through them out of the outer court,
10 Mbali yakummwera kuyangʼanana ndi bwalo ndi nyumbayo kunali zipinda zina.
by the opening of the walk at the corner; and the south parts were toward the south, toward the remaining space, and toward the partition, and [so were] the chambers.
11 Kumaso kwa zipindazi kunali njira. Zipindazi mulitali mwake, mulifupi mwake ndiponso maonekedwe ake onse zinali zofanana ndi zipinda zoyangʼana zakumpoto zija. Makomo ndi zitseko zake zinalinso zofanana
And the walk was in front of them, according to the measures of the chambers toward the north, both according to the length of them, and according to the breadth of them, and according to all their openings, an according to all their turnings, and according to their lights, and according to their doors.
12 ndi makomo a zipinda zakummwera. Kunali khomo mʼmbali ya kummawa kumene ankalowerako. Kunalinso khoma logawa zipinda.
[So were the measures] of the chambers toward the south, and according to the doors at the entrance of the walk, as it were the distance of a reed for light, and eastward as one went in by them.
13 Ndipo munthuyo anandiwuza kuti, “Zipinda zakumpoto ndi zakummwera zoyangʼanana ndi bwalo la Nyumba ya Mulungu ndi zoyera. Mʼmenemo ansembe amene amakhala pafupi ndi Yehova amadyeramo zopereka zopatulika kwambiri. Mʼmenemo adzayikamo zopereka zopatulika kwambiri, zopereka za chakudya, nsembe zopepesera machimo ndi nsembe zopepesera kupalamula, poti malowo ndi opatulika.
And he said to me, The chambers toward the north, and the chambers toward the south, in front of the void spaces, these are the chambers of the sanctuary, wherein the priests the sons of Sadduc, who draw night to the Lord, shall eat the most holy things: and there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat-offering, and the sin-offerings, and the trespass-offerings; because the place is holy.
14 Pamene ansembe alowa ku malo opatulikawa, asatuluke kupita ku bwalo lakunja popanda kusiya momwemo zovala zimene anavala potumikira zija, pakuti zovalazi ndi zopatulika. Avale kaye zovala zina ndipo akhoza kufika kwa anthu.”
None shall go in thither except the priests, [and] they shall not go forth of the holy place into the outer court, that they that draw nigh [to me] may be continually holy, and may not touch their garments in which they minister, [with defilement], for they are holy; and they shall put on other garments whenever they come in contact with the people.
15 Munthuyo atamaliza kuyeza zimene zinali mʼkati mwa Nyumba ya Mulungu, anatuluka nane pa chipata chakummawa ndi kuyeza bwalo lonse.
So the measurement of the house within was accomplished: and he brought me forth by the way of the gate that looks eastward, and measured the plan of the house round about in order.
16 Anayeza mbali yakummawa ndi ndodo yake yoyezera; kutalika kwake kunali mamita 250.
And he stood behind the gate looking eastward, and measured five hundred [cubits] with the measuring reed.
17 Anayeza mbali ya kumpoto ndi ndodo yake; kutalika kwake kunali mamita 250.
And he turned to the north and measured in front of the north [side] five hundred cubits with the measuring reed.
18 Munthuyo anayeza mbali yakummwera; kutalika kwake kunali mamita 250 atayeza ndi ndodo yake.
And he turned to the west, and measured in front of the west side, five hundred [cubits] with the measuring reed.
19 Kenaka anatembenukira ku mbali ya kumadzulo ndi kuyeza ndi ndodo yake; kutalika kwake kunali mamita 250 atayeza ndi ndodo yake.
And he turned to the south, and measured in front of the south side, five hundred [cubits] by the measuring reed.
20 Motero anayeza mbali zonse zinayi. Panali khoma lozungulira bwalolo mulitali mwake munali mamita 250 ndipo mulifupi mwake munalinso mamita 250. Khomalo linali lolekanitsa zinthu zoyera ndi zinthu wamba.
The [four sides he measured] by the same reed, and he marked out the house and the circumference of the parts round about, [a space] of five hundred [cubits] eastward, and a breadth of five hundred cubits, to make a division between the sanctuary and the outer wall, that [belonged to] the design of the house.
