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.
Then he brought me forth into the outer court, the way towards the north: and he brought me into the chamber that [was] over against the separate place, and which [was] before the building towards the north.
2 Nyumba yakumpotoyi mulitali mwake munali mamita makumi asanu, mulifupi mwake munali mamita 25.
Before the length of a hundred cubits [was] the north door, and the breadth [was] fifty cubits.
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.
Over against the twenty [cubits] which [were] for the inner court, and over against the pavement which [was] for the outer court, [was] gallery against gallery in three [stories].
4 Kumaso kwa zipindazo kunali njira yamʼkati, mulifupi mwake munali mamita asanu, mulitali mwake munali mamita makumi asanu. Makomo ake analoza chakumpoto.
And before the chambers [was] a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors towards the north.
5 Zipinda zammwamba zinali zazifupi mʼmimbamu kupambana zipinda zamʼmunsi ndi zipinda zapakati chifukwa njira zake zinatenga malo ambiri.
Now the upper chambers [were] shorter: for the galleries were higher than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of the building.
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] in three [stories], but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore [the building] was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground.
7 Panali khoma lakunja lomwe limatsatana ndi zipindazo kutsogolo kwake pambali pabwalo lakunja, kutalika kwake kunali mamita 25.
And the wall that [was] without over against the chambers, towards the outer court on the forepart of the chambers, the length of it [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 that [were] in the outer court [was] fifty cubits: and lo, before the temple [were] a hundred cubits.
9 Pansi pa zipinda zimenezi panali khomo chakummawa kuchokera ku bwalo lakunja kumene khoma lake linkayambira.
And from under these chambers [was] the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the outer court.
10 Mbali yakummwera kuyangʼanana ndi bwalo ndi nyumbayo kunali zipinda zina.
The chambers [were] in the thickness of the wall of the court towards the east, over against the separate place, and over against the building.
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 way before them [was] like the appearance of the chambers which [were] towards the north, as long as they, [and] as broad as they: and all their goings out [were] both according to their fashions, and according to their doors.
12 ndi makomo a zipinda zakummwera. Kunali khomo mʼmbali ya kummawa kumene ankalowerako. Kunalinso khoma logawa zipinda.
And according to the doors of the chambers that [were] towards the south [was] a door in the head of the way, [even] the way directly before the wall towards the east, as one entereth into 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.
Then said he to me, The north chambers [and] the south chambers which [are] before the separate place, they [are] holy chambers, where the priests that approach to the LORD shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat-offering, and the sin-offering, and the trespass-offering; for 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.”
When the priests enter therein, then shall they not go out of the holy [place] into the outer court, but there they shall lay their garments in which they minister; for they [are] holy; and shall put on other garments, and shall approach to [those things] which [are] for the people.
15 Munthuyo atamaliza kuyeza zimene zinali mʼkati mwa Nyumba ya Mulungu, anatuluka nane pa chipata chakummawa ndi kuyeza bwalo lonse.
Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth towards the gate whose prospect [is] towards the east, and measured it around.
16 Anayeza mbali yakummawa ndi ndodo yake yoyezera; kutalika kwake kunali mamita 250.
He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed around.
17 Anayeza mbali ya kumpoto ndi ndodo yake; kutalika kwake kunali mamita 250.
He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed around.
18 Munthuyo anayeza mbali yakummwera; kutalika kwake kunali mamita 250 atayeza ndi ndodo yake.
He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, 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.
He turned about to the west side, [and] measured five hundred reeds, with 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.
He measured it by the four sides: it had a wall around, five hundred [reeds] long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place.
