Ezekiel 43
1 To pacoengah anih mah ni angzae bang ah anghae, khongkha ah ang caeh haih,
Then [in the vision] the man brought me to the entrance on the east side.
2 khenah, Israel Sithaw lensawkhaih loe ni angzae bang hoiah angzoh; a lok loe tuipui lok baktiah oh; a aanghaih mah long to toeh phaeng.
Suddenly I saw the glory/brightness of the God of Israel coming from the east. The sound of his coming was like the roar of a rushing river, and all that area shone with his glory.
3 Hae hnuksakhaih loe Sithaw mah Jerusalem vangpui phraek hanah ang hnuksak ih hnuksakhaih hoiah anghmong; Khebar vapui taengah ka hnuk ih hnuksakhaih hoiah anghmong phaek; to naah mikhmai long ah ka kuep.
What I saw in this vision was like what I saw in the visions that I had seen [previously, first] by the Kebar River and [later] when God came to destroy Jerusalem. I prostrated myself on the ground.
4 Angraeng lensawkhaih loe ni angzae bang anghae khongkha hoiah tempul thungah akun.
The glory of Yahweh entered the temple through the east entrance.
5 To naah Muithla mah kai ang toengh tahang moe, athung ih longhma ah ang pakhrak; khenah, tempul loe Angraeng lensawkhaih hoiah koi.
Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner courtyard, and the glory of Yahweh filled the temple.
6 To kami kai taengah angdoet naah, tempul thung hoiah ang thuih ih lok to ka thaih.
[Then] while the man was standing beside me, I heard someone speak to me from inside the temple.
7 Anih mah, Kami capa, Hae loe kang hnuthaih angraeng tangkhang ohhaih ahmuen, khok ka koenghaih ahmuen, Israel caanawk khaeah dungzan ah ka ohhaih ahmuen ah oh, Israel imthung takoh loe natuek naah doeh kai ih kaciim ahmin to amhnong o sak mak ai boeh, nihcae hoi nihcae ih siangpahrangnawk loe, tangzat zawhhaih hmuensangnawk ah hinghaih tawn ai angmacae siangpahrangnawk ih krang bokhaih hoiah doeh amhnong o sak mak ai boeh.
He said, “You human, this is [my temple], the place [I sit on] my throne and where I rest my feet. This is where I will live with the Israeli people forever. The Israeli people and their kings will never again disgrace me [SYN] by worshiping other gods [MET] at the shrines on their hilltops, or by [building] monuments to honor their kings who have died.
8 Nihcae siangpahrang im akunhaih khongkha doeh kai ih tempul akunhaih khongkha taengah ka thling moe, nihcae ih thok tung doeh kai ih thok tung taengah ka thling; kai hoi nihcae salakah tapang maeto khue ni oh, a sak o ih panuet thok hmuennawk hoiah kaciim kai ih ahmin to amhnong o sak; to pongah palungphuihaih hoiah nihcae to kam rosak.
They placed their altars near mine, and the doorposts of their [temples] were next to the doorposts of my [temple]. There was only a wall between them. And they disgraced me by the detestable things that they did. So, being very angry with them, I got rid of them.
9 Vaihi tangzat zawh o haih hoi hinghaih tawn ai angmacae siangpahrangnawk ih krang to kai khae hoi kangthla ah takhoe o nasoe, kai loe dungzan khoek to nihcae salakah ka oh han boeh.
Now they must stop this disgusting worship of idols and these rituals to honor their kings who have died. If they stop doing those things, I will live among them forever.
10 Kami capa, A sakpazae o haih pongah a zat o hanah, tempul to Israel kaminawk khaeah patuek ah; tempul krang to tah o nasoe.
You human, describe to the Israeli people what this temple that I have shown you [in a vision] is like, in order that they will be ashamed of the sins that they have committed [which resulted in their temple in Jerusalem being destroyed].
11 A sak o ih hmuennawk boih pongah azat o nahaeloe, tempul krang hoi sakhaih dan, tacawthaih hoi akunhaih, pungcannawk boih, sakhaih dannawk boih, sak han koi atawknawk boih to patuek ah; sak han koi hmuennawk hoi pazui han koi hmuennawk to pakuem o thai boih hanah, nihcae hma ah ca ah tarik paeh.
If they are ashamed of all [the evil things] that they have done, tell them [all] about the temple [that I showed you]: its design/shape, the exits and entrances, [and everything else about it]. And tell them all my laws and regulations about worshiping me there. Write all these things down while they watch you, in order that they will be able to faithfully obey those laws.
12 Hae loe tempul ih daan ah oh; Maesom nui hoi a taeng boih loe ciimcai koek ahmuen ah om tih. Khenah, hae loe tempul ih daan ni, tiah ang naa.
And this is the supreme law about the temple [DOU]: All of the area on top of the hill [where the temple will be built] must be kept sacred and holy.”
13 Hmaicam loe dong hoi tah naah hae tiah oh, (to dong loe dongto pacoeng baek maeto oh): atlim bang sanghaih loe dongto om ueloe, dongto kawk tih, aqai kangbuet loe karto sawk tih; hmaicam sanghaih dan loe hae tiah om tih.
These are the measurements of the altar, using the same kind of measuring stick that was used for the temple area: There is a gutter around the altar that is (21 in./53 cm.) deep and (21 in./53 cm.) wide. There is a rim around it that is (9 in./23 cm.) wide.
14 Long hoi atlim koek hmaicam asom loe dong hnetto om ueloe, dongto kawk tih, asom kathoeng hoi asom kalen salak loe dong palito om ueloe, dongto kawk tih.
The lower part of the gutter is (3-1/2 feet/1.1 meters) high to the lower ledge/rim that surrounds the altar. The lower ledge is (21 in./53 cm.) wide. The upper part of the altar is (7 feet/2.1 meters) high, up to the upper ledge. That ledge is also (21 in./53 cm.) wide.
15 Hmaicam loe dong palito sang tih, hmaicam ranui loe maitaw taki baktiah taki palito cawn tahang tih.
The (hearth/place where the sacrifices are burned) at the top of the altar is another (7 feet/2.2 meters) high, and there is a projection that juts/extends up from each of the four corners.
16 Hmaicam loe im baktiah takii palito om ueloe, ahnuk ahma dong angvan boih tih, dong hathlai hnetto sawk ueloe, dong hathlai hnetto kawk tih.
That place at the top of the altar is square, (21 feet/6.4 meters) on each side.
17 Atlim ih asom doeh im baktiah takii palito om ueloe, ahnuk ahma dong angvan boih tih, dong hathlai palito sawk ueloe, dong hathlai palito kawk tih; aqai kangbuet loe dong ahap to om ueloe, atlim koek ih aqai kangbuet loe dongto om tih, thlak loe ni angzae bang ah anghae tih, tiah ang naa.
The upper ledge is also a square, (24-1/2 feet/7.4 meters) on each side. There is a (21 in./53 cm.) gutter [at the bottom of the altar], and a (10.5 in./26.6 cm.) rim all around it. There are steps up to the east side of the altar.”
18 To pacoengah anih mah kai khaeah, Kami capa, Angraeng Sithaw mah, Hmai angbawnhaih sak moe, athii to haeh hanah, hmaicam sak na niah pazui han ih atawknawk loe hae tih om tih, tiah ang thuih.
Then the man said to me, “You human, this is what Yahweh the Lord says: These are the regulations for sacrificing offerings that will be completely burned and for sprinkling the blood against the sides of the altar when it is built:
19 Kai khae toksak han akun, Zadok ih atii thung hoi tacawt Levi acaeng qaimanawk khaeah, zae angbawnhaih hanah maitaw caa atae maeto paek han oh, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih.
You must present to the priests a young bull to be an offering to cause the altar to be acceptable to me. The priests are descendants of Levi, from the clan of Zadok, who come near to the altar to serve me.
20 Athii to la ah loe hmaicam hoi tacawt tahang takii palito, im takii palito hoi aqai boih ah suem ah; to tiah hmaicam to na ciimsak moe na pasaeh han angaih.
You must take some of the blood [from the bull that is sacrificed], and smear it on the four projections of the altar and on the four corners of the upper ledge, and all around the rim, to cause the altar to be acceptable to me, and to consecrate it.
21 Zae angbawnhaih sak hanah maitaw tae to la ah, hmuenciim tasa bang ah sak ih ahmuen ah anih mah hmai hoiah pakhaem tih.
You must burn that bull outside the temple in the part of the temple area [that I have] designated for that.
22 Ni hnetto naah coek koi om ai maeh caa to la ah loe, zae angbawnhaih ah paek ah; maitaw tae hoiah hmaicam to ciimsak baktih toengah, maeh hoiah doeh ciimcaisak tih.
The next day, you must offer a male goat that has no defects, to be an offering to cause the altar to be acceptable to me. Then you must purify the altar again, like you did with the bull that was sacrificed.
23 To tiah hmaicam to ciimsak pacoengah, coek koi om ai maitaw tae maeto, coek koi om ai tuu khongkha thung ih tuu tae maeto paek han angaih.
When you have finished doing all that, you must offer a young bull and a ram, both of them without any defects.
24 To hmuennawk to Angraeng hma ah paek ah, qaimanawk mah a nuiah paloi to phuih o ueloe, hmai hoi angbawn haih ah Angraeng khaeah paek o tih.
You must offer them to [me], Yahweh, and the priests must sprinkle salt on them and completely burn them [on the altar] for a sacrifice to me.
25 Ni sarihto thung ni thokkruek maeh tae maeto zae angbawn haih ah na paek han oh; to khue ai coek koi om ai maitaw tae kanawk maeto, coek koi om ai tuu khongkha thung ih tuu tae maeto doeh paek han angai vop.
[Then], each day for seven days, you must bring [to the priest] a male goat [to be sacrificed] for an offering to cause the altar to be acceptable to me. You must also sacrifice a young bull and a ram, [each] without any defect.
26 Ni sarihto thung hmaicam to pasae o ueloe, ciimcai o sak tih; angmacae takpum doeh angpaek o tih, tiah thuih.
For seven days the priests will consecrate the altar and cause it to be acceptable to me. By doing that they will dedicate it to me.
27 To tiah sak ih aninawk boeng pacoeng, ni tazetto pacoengah qaimanawk mah hmaicam nuiah hmai angbawnhaih hoi angdaeh angbawnhaih to na sah pae tih; to tiah ni nangcae to kang talawk thai tih, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih.
At the end of those seven days, starting on the following day, the priests will continue to put on the altar offerings to be completely burned and offerings to maintain fellowship with me. Then I will accept you. [That it what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.”
