< Ezekiel 41 >
1 Te phoeiah kai te bawkim la n'khuen tih ngalhatung a daang te khatben lamloh dong rhuk la, dap kah a daang khaw khatben lamloh a daang dong rhuk la a nueh.
[in the vision] the man brought me to into the Holy Place in the temple and measured the walls on each side of the doorway of that room: They were about (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) thick.
2 Thohka te a daang dong rha lo tih thohka kah a hael te khatben ah dong nga, khatben ah dong nga om. Te vaengah a yun dong sawmli neh a daang dong kul la a nueh.
The entrance was (17-1/2 feet/5.3 meters) wide, and the walls of each side of it were (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) wide. He also measured the Holy Place, it was (70 feet/21.4 meters) long and (35 feet/10.7 meters) wide.
3 Te phoeiah a khuiben la kun tih thohka kah ngalhatung te dong kul la, thohka te dong rhuk la, thohka kah a daang te dong rhih la a nueh.
Then he entered the inner room [of the temple] and measured the walls of the entrance; [each was] (3-1/2 feet/1.1 meter) thick. The doorway was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) wide, and the walls on each side of the entrance were (12-1/4 feet/3.7 meters) long.
4 Te phoeiah bawkim hmai te a yun dong kul neh a daang dong kul la a nueh. Te vaengah kai taengah, “He tah Hmuencim khuikah Hmuencim ni,” a ti.
Then he measured the inner room: It was (35 feet/10.7 meters) long and (35 feet/10.7 meters) wide. He said to me, “This is the Very Holy Place.”
5 Te phoeiah im pangbueng te dong rhuk la, im kaepvai kah impalai te a kaep kaep ah a daang dong li la a nueh.
Then he measured the wall of the temple: It was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) thick.[There was a row of rooms along the outside wall of the temple]. Each of those rooms was (7 feet/2.1 meters) wide.
6 Impalai khaw impalai pakhat soah impalai pathum om tih a than sawmthum om. Im pangbueng dongah aka cet impalai ham khaw a kaep kaep ah aka tu om. Te dongah im pangbueng khuila aka poe om pawh.
There were three levels of rooms, one above the other. There were thirty rooms on each level. There were ledges all around the wall of the temple that were supports for those side rooms; so those supports were not built into the wall of the temple.
7 Impalai te a so a so la a hil tih ka hang. Im a hiilnah te im taengkah a hael a hael ah a so a so la om. Te dongah im daang te a so la a aeh hang. Te dongah a dang lamloh a soi due a bangli longah luei tangloeng.
Each of those side rooms was wider than the one below it. The most narrow rooms were built first, at the bottom. Then a wider set of rooms was built over it, and the widest set was at the top. A set of stairs was built from the lowest level through the middle level to the highest level.
8 Im te a kaep kaep ah a sang la ka hmuh. Impalai te dong rhuk aka locapu pakhat tluk te tungthi hil a niing malh a khueh.
I saw that there was a terrace (OR, raised platform) around the temple. The terrace was the foundation for those side rooms; it was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) high.
9 Poengben impalai pangbueng te a daang dong nga lo tih te te im neh impalai laklo ah a hoeng la a khueh.
The outer wall of those side rooms was (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) thick. All around those side rooms there was an open area that was (35 feet/10.6 meters) wide.
10 Im kaep, kaep kah imkhan laklo te a daang dong kul boeih lo.
There was a row of rooms for the priests on each side of the outer wall of the inner courtyard.
11 Impalai thohka te tlangpuei longpuei thohka neh tuithim kah thohka duela hoeng. Te vaengah a hmuen hoeng te a kaep kaep a daang dong nga lo.
There were two doors from those side rooms into another open area; one faced north and one faced south. That open area was (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) wide.
12 Buengngol te khotlak longpuei kil kah imtol hmai duela a daang dong sawmrhih lo. Buengngol pangbueng te a kaep kaep ah a daang dong nga neh a yun dong sawmko lo.
There was a large building on the west side of the temple area. It was (122-1/2 feet/37.1 meters) wide and (157-1/2 feet/47.7 meters) long. And its walls were [also] (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) thick.
13 Te phoeiah im te a yun te dong yakhat, imtol neh impum kah pangbueng te a yun dong yakhat la a nueh.
Then the man measured the temple. It was (175 feet/53 meters) long, and the [temple] courtyard, where the large building was, including its walls was [also] (175 feet/53 meters) wide.
14 Im hmai neh khothoeng kah imtol te a daang dong yakhat lo.
The courtyard on the east side of the temple, across the front of the temple, was also (175 feet/53 meters) wide.
15 Buengngol kah a yun te imtol hmai duela a nueh. A hnuk kah a thaelkawt a thaelkawt te khatben ah khaw khatben ah dong yakhat lo. Bawkim khuiah neh vongup kah ngalha khaw,
Then he measured the building on the west [side]. Including its walls it was also (175 feet/53 meters) wide. The outer walls of the Holy Place, the Very Holy Place, and the entry room,
16 cingkhaa neh bangbuet caek khaw om. Cingkhaa aka hmaitoh thaelkawt kaepvai te a kaep kaep ah thing bangkhoh a rhaep thum la a khoh. Diklai lamloh bangbuet duela bangbuet khaw a dah.
the inner walls above and below the windows, and the frames of the windows were all covered with [thin] panels of wood.
17 thohka so neh im khui, kawtpoeng ah khaw pangbueng kaep kaep boeih so neh a khui ah khaw a voel ah khaw cungnueh pakhat la cet.
All the walls inside the temple were decorated [carvings of] winged creatures and palm trees: Between each figure of a winged creature was a carving of a palm tree. Each winged creature had two faces:
18 Cherubim neh rhophoe khaw a khueh. Rhophoe te cherubim neh cherubim laklo ah pai tih cherubim te maelhmai panit om.
One was a face of a human, and one was the face of a lion. Those figures were carved on the walls all around the inside of the temple.
19 Te vaengah hlang maelhmai te khatben kah rhophoe taengla mael tih sathuengca maelhmai te khatben kah rhophoe taengla mael. Te te im pum kah a kaep kaep ah a khueh.
20 Bawkim pangbueng tah diklai lamloh thohka so duela aka vai uh cherubim neh rhophoe a saii thil.
They covered all the walls, from the floor to the top of the walls.
21 Bawkim rhungsut he hniboeng bangla om tih a hmuethma te hmuencim hmai kah a hmuethma bangla om.
At the entrance to the Holy Place of the temple there were square doorposts. In front of the Very Holy Place there was something that resembled
22 Thing hmueihtuk te a sang dong thum neh a yun dong nit lo. A imki neh a yun khaw a pangbueng khaw thing ni. Te vaengah kai taengah, “He tah BOEIPA mikhmuh kah caboei ni,” a ti.
a wooden altar. It was (5.2 feet/1.6 meters) high and (3-1/2 feet/1.1 meters) wide on all four sides. Its corners and base and sides were [all made] of wood. The man said to me, “This is the table that is in the presence of Yahweh.”
23 Bawkim neh hmuencim te thohkhaih rhirha om.
The Holy Place and the Very Holy Place had double doors.
24 thohkhaih ham te thohkhaih rhoi rhirha a buen. thohkhaih pakhat ham thohkhaih panit coeng tih pakhat ham te khaw thohkhaih panit om.
Each doorway had two doors that [on hinges].
25 Bawkim thohkhaih soah cherubim neh rhophoe te pangbueng dongkah a saii bangla a saii. Poengben kah ngalha hmai ah thing te a khuep la a saii.
On the doors of the Holy Place there were carvings of winged creatures and palm trees, like those on the walls of the Holy Place. There was also a wooden roof over the front of the entry room [of the temple].
26 Ngalha kah a hael te khatben ah khaw khatben ah bangbuet a caek neh rhophoe khaw om. Im kah impalai khaw a khuep om.
On the side walls of the entry room were narrow windows with [figures of] palm trees [carved] on the sides of the windows. The side rooms around the temple also had roofs.
