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.
The man took me out through the north gate to the outer courtyard into the rooms on the far side of the Temple courtyard by the northern external wall.
2 Te tlangpuei thohka te a hmai hil a yun dong yakhat neh a daang dong sawmnga lo.
The building with the north-facing door was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide.
3 A khui kah vongtung, dong kul hmai neh poengben vongtung lungphaih hmai kah thaelkawt te a hmai hil thaelkawt pathum la om.
It had three floors of open halls on both sides, one facing the twenty-cubit area of the inner courtyard and one facing the pavement of the outer courtyard.
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.
In front of the rooms was an inside walkway ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long. Their doors opened to the north.
5 Imkhan khaw thaelkawt loh a kang tih buengngol yung lakah khaw, a bangli lakah khaw caek hang.
The upper rooms were smaller because of the space taken up by the open halls on the lower and middle levels of the building.
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.
Since they didn't have pillars like the courtyards, the upper rooms were set farther back than the lower and middle levels.
7 Imkhan dan kah poengben vongtung neh poengben vongtong longpuei kah imkhan hmai duela a sen dong sawmnga lo.
An external wall ran in front of the rooms for fifty cubits long parallel to 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 rooms on the outer courtyard extended for fifty cubits, but those that faced the Temple were a hundred cubits long.
9 Imkhan hmui, imkhan hmui ah a khuirhai te puk. Vongtung poengben lamkah te khaw khothoeng la pawk bal.
Below these rooms was an entrance on the east side coming from the outer courtyard.
10 Khothoeng longpuei vongup vongtung a daang neh imtol khaw hmaitoh uh tih imkhan buengngol nen khaw hmaitoh uh.
Along the wall on the south side of the outer courtyard were rooms next to the courtyard and opposite the building.
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.
There was a walkway in front of them, just like the rooms on the north side. These rooms had the same length and width, the same doors, floor plan, and exits.
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.
Similarly there was an entrance under the rooms on the south side of the building, coming from the east side.
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.
The man told me, “The north and south rooms that face the Temple courtyard are holy rooms where the priests who go before the Lord will eat the most holy offerings. They will place the most holy offerings there because the place is holy, and include the grain offerings, the sin offerings, and the guilt offerings.
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.
Once the priests have entered these rooms, they are not to go to the outer courtyard before leaving their priestly clothes, because these are holy. They must change into other clothes before go where the ordinary people are.”
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.
After the man finished measuring inside of the Temple area, he took me out through the east gate, and he measured the surrounding area as well.
16 Te phoeiah khothoeng yilh te capu cungnueh dong nga neh a nueh vaengah a pum la capu cungnueh te capu pum yakhat lo.
Using the measuring rod he measured the east side. It was five hundred cubits long.
17 Tlangpuei yilh te a nueh vaengah capu cungnueh ah capu pum ya nga lo.
He measured the north side. It was five hundred cubits long.
18 Tuithim yilh te capu cungnueh neh capu pum ya nga la a nueh.
He measured the south side. It was five hundred cubits long.
19 Khotlak yilh te a mael thil tih capu cungnueh neh capu pum ya nga la a nueh.
And he came around and measured the west side. It was five hundred cubits long.
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.
So he measured all four sides. There was a wall surrounding it, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits wide, separating the holy from the common.
