Ezekiel 42
1 Kai te tlangpuei longpuei, longpuei kah vong voel la n'khuen. Te phoeiah kai te imtol hmai neh tlangpuei buengngol hmai kah imkhan la m'pawk puei.
[in the vision] the man led me out of the inner courtyard, through [the entrance on] the north side. We entered the outer courtyard and came to a building that was built against the north [of the inner courtyard].
2 Te tlangpuei thohka te a hmai hil a yun dong yakhat neh a daang dong sawmnga lo.
That building was (175 feet/53 meters) long and (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) wide. Its doorway faced north.
3 A khui kah vongtung, dong kul hmai neh poengben vongtung lungphaih hmai kah thaelkawt te a hmai hil thaelkawt pathum la om.
In that building were two rows of rooms, built on three levels, that faced each other. One row of rooms was built against the wall of the inner courtyard, and the other row was built against the wall facing the outer courtyard. The building was 34 feet from the temple.
4 Imkhan hmai kah caehlong te a daang dong rha lo tih longpuei te a khui la dong khat phueih om. A thohka tah tlangpuei ah om.
Between the [two] rows of rooms there was a walkway that was (17-1/2 feet/5.3 meters) wide and (175 feet/53 meters) long. All its doors were on the north side.
5 Imkhan khaw thaelkawt loh a kang tih buengngol yung lakah khaw, a bangli lakah khaw caek hang.
Each of the upper rows of rooms was narrower than the row of rooms below them, [because the upper rows needed to have a walkway in front of them].
6 Te rhoek te pathum lo dae a tung tah vongtung tung bangla om pawh. Te dongah diklai lamlong tah a dang lakah khaw a bangli lakah khaw toek.
The rooms on the upper levels had no pillars to support them like the ones in the courtyard. Instead, each of those row of rooms were supported by the walls of the row of rooms on the level below.
7 Imkhan dan kah poengben vongtung neh poengben vongtong longpuei kah imkhan hmai duela a sen dong sawmnga lo.
The wall of the building extended (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) past the set of rooms built along the outer courtyard, separating all the rooms from the outer courtyard.
8 Poengben vongtung taengkah imkhan te a yun dong sawmnga lo tih bawkim hmai ah tah dong yakhat lo coeng ne.
The row of rooms that were along the outer courtyard was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) long, and the set of rooms that faced the temple was (175 feet/53 meters) long.
9 Imkhan hmui, imkhan hmui ah a khuirhai te puk. Vongtung poengben lamkah te khaw khothoeng la pawk bal.
The lowest row of rooms had an entrance from the outer courtyard, on the east side.
10 Khothoeng longpuei vongup vongtung a daang neh imtol khaw hmaitoh uh tih imkhan buengngol nen khaw hmaitoh uh.
On the south [side], along the wall of the outer courtyard, next to the temple courtyard, was a [a building with two] rows of rooms,
11 Te rhoek hmai kah longpuei te tlangpuei longpuei kah imkhan hmuethma bangla om. A yun neh a daang khaw, a thoengnah boeih khaw thikat. A laitloeknah te vantlip tih a thohka khaw vantlip.
with a walkway between them. Those rooms were like the rooms on the north [side]: they were the same length and width, and had the same kind of entrances.
12 Tuithim longpuei kah imkhan thohka bangla longpuei a tongnah kah thohka khaw vantlip. Tanglung hmai kah longpuei tah khothoeng longpuei kah pawnhlainah la pawk.
The doorways on the south side were similar to the doorways on the north side. There was an entrance in the wall that faced the doors of the set of rooms, and there was an entrance on the east side, at the end of the inside walkway.
13 Te vaengah kai taengah ah, “Tlangpuei imkhan rhoek neh tuithim imkhan te imtol a hmaitoh lah ko. Te imkhan rhoek tah cim tih, te a cim kah aka cim BOEIPA taengah aka yoei khosoih rhoek loh buh a caak uh. Hmuen cim la a om dongah khocang khaw, boirhaem neh hmaithennah khaw, a cim a cim ni a. tloeng uh eh.
Then the man said to me, “These rooms that overlook the temple on the north and south sides are holy. Here the priests who offer sacrifices to Yahweh will [their portions of] the sacred offerings. Because these rooms are holy, they will be used to store the sacred offerings: [the grain for] the grain offerings, the offerings for the sins that people have committed, and offerings in order that people will no longer be guilty for having sinned.
14 Khosoih rhoek a kun vaengah hmuencim lamloh poengben vongtung la moe boel saeh. He tah a cim dongah a bibi vaengkah a himbai te a pum dong lamloh pit uh kuekluek dae saeh. A bai khaw himbai tloe a bai uh daengah pilnam taengah te mop saeh,” a ti.
When the priests leave the temple, they will not be allowed to [immediately] enter the outer courtyard. First, they must remove the clothes that they had been wearing inside the temple, because those clothes are holy. They must put on other clothes before they enter the parts [of the temple area] where the [other] people [gather].”
15 Im khui a cungnueh te a khah neh kai vongka longpuei la n'khuen. Te long te khothoeng longpuei a hmaitoh tih a kaep kaep ah a nueh.
When the man had finished measuring the inside of the temple area, he led me out through the east entrance [of the outer courtyard] and measured all the way around the temple area.
16 Te phoeiah khothoeng yilh te capu cungnueh dong nga neh a nueh vaengah a pum la capu cungnueh te capu pum yakhat lo.
He measured the four sides of the area. There was a wall around the area that was (875 feet/265 meters) long on each side.
17 Tlangpuei yilh te a nueh vaengah capu cungnueh ah capu pum ya nga lo.
18 Tuithim yilh te capu cungnueh neh capu pum ya nga la a nueh.
19 Khotlak yilh te a mael thil tih capu cungnueh neh capu pum ya nga la a nueh.
20 A vongtung te a kaep kaep ah pali la yilh a nueh vaengah ah a yun ya nga neh a daang ya nga lo. Te long te hmuencim te hmuenrhong lamloh a laklo ah a boe.
That wall separated the [area which was] sacred/holy from the [areas that were] not sacred.
