Ezekieli 46
1 “Ambuye Yehova akuti, Chipata chakummawa cha bwalo lamʼkati chizikhala chotseka pa masiku asanu ndi limodzi ogwira ntchito, koma chizitsekulidwa pa tsiku la sabata ndi pa tsiku la chikondwerero cha mwezi watsopano.
“‘This is [also] what [I], Yahweh the Lord, declare: The east entryway of the inner courtyard must be shut during the six days in which people work each week, but on the Sabbath days and on the days when there is a new moon, that entryway must [remain] open until that evening.
2 Mfumu izilowa podzera mʼkhonde la mʼkati la chipata pochokera kunja, nʼkudzayima pafupi ndi nsanamira yapakhomo. Ansembe apereke nsembe yake yopsereza ndi nsembe yake yachiyanjano. Mfumuyo ipembedze pa chiwundo cha pa chipatacho kenaka nʼkutuluka. Koma chipatacho asachitseke mpaka madzulo.
The king must enter the courtyard through the entry room of the entryway, and stand alongside the entry post. [Then] the priests must sacrifice the animal that the king brought to be completely [on the altar], and also his offering to maintain fellowship with me. The king must worship me at the entrance of the entryway, and then he must go out. [After he leaves], the entryway will not be shut until that evening.
3 Anthu a mʼdziko azipembedza pamaso pa Yehova pa khomo la chipata chimenechi pa masiku a sabata ndi pa tsiku la mwezi watsopano.
On the Sabbath days and on the [days when there is a] new moon, the people must worship [me] at the entrance of the entryway.
4 Nsembe yopsereza imene mfumu iyenera kupereka kwa Yehova ikhale motere: pa tsiku la Sabata izipereka ana ankhosa aamuna asanu ndi mmodzi wopanda chilema, ndiponso nkhosa yayima yopanda chilema.
The offering that the king brings to be completely burned on the Sabbath day must be six lambs and one ram, all with no defects.
5 Pamodzi ndi nkhosa yayimuna, mfumu izipereka nsembe ya chakudya yokwanira efa imodzi. Pamodzi ndi ana ankhosa, mfumu izipereka monga ikufunira kutero. Iperekenso hini imodzi ya mafuta pa efa iliyonse ya tirigu.
The offering [that he gives] with the ram must be a bushel of grain, and the grain [that he offers] with the lambs should be as much as he desires to offer, along with (1 gallon/3.8 liters) of [olive] oil for each bushel [of grain].
6 Pa tsiku la mwezi watsopano mfumuyo ipereke mwana wangʼombe wamwamuna, ana ankhosa asanu ndi mmodzi ndiponso nkhosa yayimuna, zonsezi zopanda chilema.
[Then] each day that there is a new moon, he must offer a young bull, six lambs and a ram, all with no defects.
7 Ipereke efa imodzi ya tirigu pa ngʼombe yayimuna iliyonse ndiponso efa ina pa nkhosa yayimuna iliyonse. Pa ana ankhosa ipereke tirigu monga ikufunira kutero. Pamodzi ndi efa ya tirigu, ipereke hini imodzi ya mafuta.
He must [also] provide one bushel of grain with the bull, one bushel of grain with the ram, and as much grain as he wants with the lambs, along with one quart/liter of [olive] oil with each bushel [of grain].
8 Pamene mfumu ikulowa, izidzera mʼkhonde lamʼkati la chipata chakummawa, izitulukiranso pomwepo.
When the king enters [the temple area], he must enter through the entry room of the entryway, and he must go out through that same entry room [when he leaves].
9 “Anthu a mʼdzikomo akabwera kudzapembedza Yehova pa masiku a chikondwerero, ngati munthu alowera pa chipata chakumpoto atulukire chipata chakummwera. Munthu wolowera chipata chakummwera, atulukire chipata chakumpoto. Munthu asatulukire pomwe walowera, koma atulukire pa chipata choyangʼanana nacho.
When the Israeli people come to worship me at the festivals that I have appointed, those who enter the temple area through the north entryway must go out through the south entryway. And those who enter through the south entryway must go out through the north entryway. People must not go out through the entryway through which they entered; they must go out through the opposite entryway.
10 Mfumu izidzakhala pakati pawo. Anthu akamadzalowa mfumu idzalowa nawo. Anthu akamadzatuluka mfumu idzatuluka nawo.
The king must go in when the other people go in, and go out when the people go out.
11 “Pa masiku achikondwerero ndi pa masiku ena osankhidwa, zopereka za chakudya zikhale zokwanira efa imodzi pamodzi ndi ngʼombe yayimuna iliyonse, efa imodzinso ndi nkhosa yayimuna, koma pa mwana wankhosa apereke monga angathere. Iperekenso hini imodzi ya mafuta pa efa iliyonse.
During the festivals and sacred feasts, the king must present a bushel of grain along with each bull or ram, and as much grain as he wants to bring, along with the lambs and (1 gallon/3.8 liters) of olive oil with each bushel of grain.
12 Pamene mfumu ikufuna kupereka chopereka chaufulu kwa Yehova, kaya ndi nsembe yopsereza kapena zopereka za chiyanjano, ayitsekulire chipata chakummawa. Iyo ipereke nsembe yopsereza kapena zopereka zake za chiyanjano monga imachitira pa tsiku la Sabata. Kenaka ituluke ndipo mfumuyo itatuluka, atseke chitsekocho.
When the king gives an offering that is not required, either one to be completely burned [on the altar] or an offering to maintain fellowship with [me, Yahweh, the entryway on the east side of the courtyard] must be opened for him. Then he must present those offerings like he does on the Sabbath days. Then he must go out, and after he goes out, the entryway must be shut.
13 “Tsiku lililonse nthawi ya mmawa azipereka kwa Yehova mwana wankhosa wa chaka chimodzi.
Every day, during the morning, someone must provide a one-year-old lamb with no defects to be an offering to me that will be completely burned.
14 Pamodzi ndi nyamayo aziperekanso mmawa uliwonse chopereka cha chakudya chokwanira chimodzi mwa zigawo zisanu ndi chimodzi za efa. Aziperekanso chimodzi mwa zigawo zitatu za hini ya mafuta okandira ufa wosalala. Chopereka cha chakudya chimenechi chiziperekedwa kwa Yehova nthawi zonse mwa lamulo.
Someone must also provide each morning an offering of flour. It must be one sixth of a bushel of flour mixed with one quart/liter of [olive] oil. These offerings of flour and olive oil to must be presented [to me], Yahweh, each day.
15 Motero azipereka mwana wankhosa ndi chopereka cha chakudya ndi mafuta mmawa uliwonse kuti zikhale nsembe zopsereza za tsiku ndi tsiku.
The lamb and the offering of flour and [olive] oil must be presented to me every morning, to be completely burned on the altar.
16 “‘Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Ngati kalonga apereka mphatso chigawo cha cholowa chake kwa mmodzi mwa ana ake, mphatsoyo idzakhala ya ana akewo. Idzakhala yawo chifukwa ndi cholowa chawo.
This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare: If the king gives some of his land to one of his sons, to belong to him permanently, it will then belong to his son’s descendants forever.
17 Koma ngati ipereka mphatso yotere kuchokera pa cholowa chake kwa mmodzi mwa antchito ake, mphatsoyo idzakhala ya wantchitoyo mpaka chaka chaufulu. Pambuyo pake idzabwereranso kwa kalongayo chifukwa cholowa chake ndi cha ana ake.
However, if he gives some of his land to one of his servants, the servant is allowed to keep that land until the Year of Celebration. Then the king will own it again; the king’s land must belong to his descendants forever.
18 Kalonga asalande cholowa chilichonse cha anthu, kuwachotsa mʼdera lawo la dziko. Iye apereke kwa ana ake cholowa chawo chochokera pa chuma chakechake, kuti pasapezeke ndi mmodzi yemwe mwa anthu anga wolandidwa chuma chake.’”
The king must not take any land that the people own and force them to live somewhere else. The land that he gives to his sons must be from his own property, [not from anyone else’s property], in order that none of my people will be forced to leave his own property.’”
19 Kenaka munthu uja anandidzeretsa pa khomo la pambali pa chipata nandilowetsa ku zipinda za ansembe zoyangʼana kumpoto. Ndipo ndinaona kumeneko malo chakumadzulo kwa zipindazo.
Then, [in the vision], the man [who was showing the temple area to me] brought me through the entrance alongside the entryway and led me to the sacred rooms on the north side, the rooms that the priests used, and he showed me a place at the western end [of those rooms].
20 Munthuyo anandiwuza kuti, “Awa ndi malo amene ansembe adzaphikirapo nsembe yopepesera kupalamula ndi nsembe yopepesera machimo. Kumenekonso azidzawotcherako chopereka cha chakudya. Sadzatuluka nazo zoyerazi mʼbwalo lakunja kuopa kuti angapatsireko kuyera anthu ena.”
He said to me, “This is the place where the priests must cook the meat of the offerings that people bring in order to no longer be guilty for having sinned, and offerings for their sins, and where they will bake bread made with the flour brought to be offerings. [They will cook those things in their rooms] in order to avoid bringing them into the outer courtyard [to cook them there], lest someone [be punished because of] touching them.”
21 Pambuyo pake anandilowetsa mʼbwalo lakunja napita nane ku ngodya zinayi za bwalolo. Ndipo ndinaona mʼkati mwa ngodya iliyonse bwalo lina.
Then the man brought me to the outer courtyard and led me to its four corners. In each corner I saw an enclosed area;
22 Motero pa ngodya zinayi za bwalo panalinso mabwalo ena angʼonoangʼono. Mabwalo amenewa anali ofanana. Mulitali mwake munali mamita makumi awiri ndipo mulifupi mwake munali mamita khumi ndi asanu.
each of those areas was (70 feet/21.2 meters) long and (52-1/2 feet/15.9 meters) wide.
23 Kuzungulira mabwalo anayi angʼonoangʼono aja panali mpanda wamiyala, ndi malo asonkhapo moto omangidwa mʼmunsi mwa mpandawo mozungulira.
Around the inside of each of those enclosed areas was a stone ledge, with places to make fires all around under each ledge.
24 Munthuyo anandiwuza kuti, “Izi ndi zipinda zophikiramo. Mʼmenemu anthu otumikira ku Nyumba ya Mulungu adzaphikiramo nyama za nsembe za anthu.”
The man said to me, “These are the kitchens where [the descendants of Levi] who work in the temple must cook the sacrifices that the people bring.”
