Ezekiel 40
1 Ka sohchan kal u akum somni leh nga lhin kum – Jerusalem lhuh kal kum som le kum li lhin jou – Lhatun ni somni le get nin – Pakaiyin keima eituh chah kheh e.
At the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month of the twenty-fifth year of our exile, (fourteenth years after Jerusalem had been captured), was the exact day that the Lord's power came over me and he took me there to the city.
2 Pathenna konna lhagao thilmuna a chun Israel gam'a eipuijin chule mol sangtah khat chunga eitou sah e. Hiche a konna chun khopi tobang khat lhanglang gamkaija kamun ahi.
God took me to the country of Israel in vision and set me down on a very high mountain. On the south side of the mountain there were buildings that seemed to be a city.
3 Aman eihin pui naijep phat chun keiman amai sum eng tobang mihem khat khopi sung lutna kelkot koma ding chu kamui. Hiche mipa chun thil tena pon'a kisem khao khat leh thil tena mol khat akichoije.
When he took me there I saw a man who looked like shining bronze. He was holding a linen cord and a measuring rod as he stood in the entrance way.
4 Aman kakoma aseijin, Mihem chapa, ven lang chule ngaijin. Keiman kavet sah jouse hi naijin lang lunglut tah in gellin. Keiman nangma thil tamtah kavetsah thei nadinga hiche munna hi nahung kipui lut ahi. Chuteng nangma Israel mite koma nakile kitna chule namu jouse hi amaho naseipeh ding ahi.
“Son of man,” he told me, “watch with your eyes, listen with your ears. Concentrate on everything I'm about to show you, because that's the reason you were brought here. You are to explain to the people of Israel what you've been shown, everything you see.”
5 Keiman houin kim vel alhung keija pal kikai kamun ahi. Mipa khat chun thil tena mol khat feet som le akeh’a sao khat akichoijin chule akulbang chu aten ahileh, abang chu feet som le akeh maa sang ahi.
I could see a wall that surrounded the Temple. The measuring rod the man was holding was six long cubits in length (a long cubit is a cubit plus a handbreadth). He measured the wall as six cubits thick and six cubits high.
6 Hichun ama solam kot langa chun achen ahi. Ama pachu kalbi a chun akallin chule kotpi bul chu aten ahile anunglang leh amalang feet som le akeh ahi.
Then he went up the steps of the east-facing gate. He measured the gate's threshold as six cubits deep.
7 Hiche a chu khopi ngah ho umna in dan chu kelkot lampi lang toa chu kisa ahi. Hiche indan ho chu aning li a kibang ahin feet som leh akeh cheh ahi, lampi dung lhung keija chu indan khat leh khat kikah kikah chu feet get leh hopli a hopkhat cheh a kigamlat ahi. Hongcha kelkot mai asung lang patna achaina chan amalanga pat anung lang channa lampi chu feet som leh akeh ahi.
Beyond that were alcoves that measured six cubits by six cubits, with five cubits between the alcoves. The threshold of the inside entrance facing the porch measured six cubits.
8 Aman hongcha kelkot lampi jong aten ahi.
Then he measured the entrance porch.
9 Hichu achaina channa feet som leh feet li ahin chule adouna feet thum leh akeh sa ahi. Hiche hongcha hin kelkot tampi kigon dungjuija houin lang amaingat ahi.
It was eight cubits deep, and its posts were two cubits thick. The entrance porch faced the Temple.
10 Hiche a chun ingah ho umna indent hum kelkot lampi jet leh veija chu umah ahi. Hiche ho chu alet aneo chule akikhenna abanglai ho jouse akibang cheh in ahi.
There were three alcoves on each side of the east gate entrance that all measured the same. The posts on each side also measured the same.
11 Mipa chun kelkot lutna lampi chu akihonna a pat availam feet somleh feet sagi leh akeh ahin chule kelkot lampi chu availam feet somni leh feet ni ahi.
He measured the width of the entrance gateway as ten cubits. It was thirteen cubits long.
12 Khopi ngah ho umna indan khat cheh maija chun atuhna khat cheh aumin hichu inche somni leh inche khat cheh ahi. Indan khat cheh chu aning jouse feet som leh akeh ahicheh e.
A wall one cubit high was in front of alcove, and the alcoves measured six cubits by six cubits.
13 Hichun aman kelkot lampi ingahho umna indan nunglang nga chu asaodan apumpia aten ahi leh asao dan chu feet somle feet thum leh hop lia hopkhat ahi.
Then he measured the entrance gateway from the roof of one alcove to the roof of the one opposite. It was twenty-five cubits from one doorway to the opposite doorway.
14 Aman hongcha lampi kikah abang chu alhung keijin asaodan feet jakhat leh feet nga ahi.
Then he measured the distance between the posts as sixty cubits. The gateway led all the way around to the courtyard.
15 Kelkot lampi dung lhung keijin alang khatna konna among lang khat chan chu feet somget leh feet sagi le akeh ahi.
It was fifty cubits from the gateway entrance to the far side of the inside porch.
16 Hiche a chun bangkot ho aumin choldona in lam ngan ajum jep jep in chule akihop khen nao bang ho jong aume. Hongcha sung lutna ho a jong chun bang kot ho aume. Hiche akihop khenna bang maiho chu tum thinga milim kisem in akijem pollin ahi.
The alcoves and their pillars had narrow windows on all of the inside of the gateway. The porches also had windows on all of the inside. All the posts were decorated with palm tree designs.
17 Hichun mipa chun kotpi ahon chun houin leitol apolama chun eihin puilutne. Leitol bang lhung keijin keng lampi a chotpha ding song akiphan chule keng lampi lang ngan banga chun pindan somthum jen akisan ahi.
He took me into the outer courtyard. I saw rooms and a pavement had been constructed around the courtyard. There were thirty rooms facing the pavement.
18 Hiche lampi chu kelkot panga um ahin chule leitol sung banga kipat kotpi lutna chan geija kilhung lut peh ahin hichu keng lampi noinung chu ahi.
This was termed the lower pavement and it extended along the sides of the gateways and was the same length as them.
19 Hichun mipa chun Houin polang thutanna in kotpi polang leh asung lang alhung keijin aten ahileh asaodan chu feet jakhat leh feet som sagi le nga ahi.
He measured the distance from the front of the lower gateway to the far side of the inner courtyard as one hundred cubits, both to the east side and the north.
20 Mipa chun sahlang kotpi chu solam lang khat bang bangin aten ahi.
He also measured the length and width of the gateway of the outer courtyard that faced north.
21 Hilaijah jong hin khopi ngah ho choldona in alangto a thum cheh aumin, akihop khennau bang toh hitah cheh a chule dansung lutna um cheh ahi. Thil kite jouse chu solam kotpi kitena toh chun kigom khom cheh ahi. Kotpi lutna lampi chu feet somget leh feet sagi leh akeh sau ahin, chule feet somli leh feet thum hopli a hop thum len ahin, hichu bang nunglang khopi ngah ho choldona inalng ngat chan chu ahi.
Its three alcoves on both sides, its posts, and its porch all measured the same as the first gateway and was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
22 Bangkot ho a hin, hongcha ho ahin, tum thinga kijem pol ho chu ahin abonchan niso lam ngat ho chutoh alet aneu kibang cheh ahiuve. Chule kalbi dan sagi a kikhap tou ahin chule hong cha chu kotpi lampi jona asung langa chu uma ahi.
Its windows, porch, and palm tree decorations were the same as those of the east-facing gate. It had seven steps leading up to it, with its porch facing them.
23 Hilaija hin sahlam ngatna kisem kelkot toh kotpi chu niso lam nga a kisem bang bangin akisem in, hiche a kon chun houin jotna thutanna insung nung polang kotpi to kigalsai laitah chun aume. Kotpi teni kikah chu feet jakhat leh somsagi leh feet nga ahi.
There was an entrance to the inner courtyard facing the north gate, just like the east gate. He measured the distance from the entrance to the gate as a hundred cubits.
24 Hichun mipa lhanlang sang kotpi kimvella chun eipuilen chule amun jouse chu aten ahile sahlang sanga adangho toh chun akibang chetne.
He took me to the south side, and I saw a gateway that faced south. He measured its posts and its porch, and they measured the same as those previously.
25 Hilai ho a jong chun adangho abang bang chun bangkot anei cheh e. Chule polang thutanna lang jotna kotpi lampi kihonna a chun hongcha aume.

Both the gateway and its porch had windows all around it that were like the other windows. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
26 Kotpi chun kalbi dan sagi chung lang lhung keijin aneije, achule asung lang a jong chun hongcha aumin chule tumthing a kijem pol chu lhungpin apangin ahi.
It had seven steps leading up to it, and its porch faced them. It had one post on each side with palm tree designs on them.
27 Chule hilaijah jong hin polang kelkot toh kigalsai laitha a chun kotpi dang khat thutan indan sungnung lang jotna kotpi dang khatma aume. Kotpi teni kikah chu feet jakhat leh feet som sagilenga ahi.
The inner courtyard also had an entrance facing south, and he measured the distance from the entrance to the south gate as a hundred cubits.
28 Thutanna insung nung jotna lhanglam kotpi a kipat chun mipa chun eipuije. Aten ahileh hiche kotpi jong adangho tebep bep ma ahi.
He took me into the inner courtyard through the south gate, and he measured the south gate. It measured the same as those previously.
29 Khopi ngahho choldona in ahin, ajotpi ho cheng ahin, chule hongcha ahin adang hotoh alet aneu kibang cheh ahiuve. Chule bang ho kimvella chun bangkot leh hongcha aum cheh e. Chule adang dang ho bangin kotpi keng lampi chu asao feet somli leh feet sagi ahin chule availam feet somli leh feet thum leh hopli a hopthum ahi.
Its alcoves, posts, and porch had the same measurements as those previously. The gateway and its porch had windows all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
30 Hongcha kelkotna konna thutanna sungnung chan chu alhung keija feet somle li ahin chule availam feet som leh feet thum ahi.
(The other surrounding porches measured twenty-five cubits long and five cubits deep.)
31 Ahongcha chun polam thutanna inden chu angat in, tumthing chu ajolpi in apange. Chule kalbi dan sagi in akikhap touve.
Its porch faced the outer courtyard, and its pillars were decorated with palm tree designs. It had eight steps leading up to it.
32 Thutanna in lutna solam kotpi phung a chun amapa chun apuije. Amapan aten ahile kotpi dang ho a chutoh alet aneo akibang cheh e.
He took me to the inner courtyard on the east side. He measured the gateway and it measured the same as those previously.

He took me to the north gate and measured it. It measured the same as those previously,
36 Khopi ngah ho choldona in ajolpi ahin chule kotpi hongcha ahin abonchan alet aneu akibang soh keijin chule bangkot kisem dan jong kibang cheh ahi. Kotpi keng lampi chu feet somget leh feet sagi leh akeh sao ahin, chule availam feet somli leh feet thum leh hopli a hopthum a len ahi.
including its alcoves, posts, and porch. The gateway and its porch had windows all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
37 Hongcha chun polang thutanna inlang angan chule tumthing kijem polla kidou ahi. Alutna a chu kalbi dan get aum tou peh e.
Its porch faced the outer courtyard, and its posts were decorated with palm tree designs on all sides. It had eight steps leading up to it.
38 Kotpi hongcha akipatna kotpi sungnung a chun kotkhat aumin chule apanga chun indan khat aumin, hichea chu pumgo thilto ding sa kisop ji ahi.
A room with a doorway stood beside by the porch of the inner gateways. This was where the burnt offering was washed.
39 Hongcha alangto a chun dokhang ni aumin, hiche chunga chu govam thilto ding gancha ho kithat ji ahin, chonset thilto chule themmo thilto ahi.
Inside the gateway porch were two tables on both sides, where the sacrificial animals were slaughtered for burnt offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings.
40 Hongcha polam sahlang lutna alangto a chun dokhang dang ni aum ben ahi.
Outside, on the way up to the entrance of the north gateway, were two tables on one side of the gate's porch and two tables on the other side.
41 Hijeh chun agomin dokhang get aumin – li asunga aumin, chule li ma apolanga aume – hiche munna chu kilhaina gantha ho chu kichen bong a chule gonsa kikoi ahi.
So there were four tables on the inside the of gateway and another four outside, making a total of eight tables. This is where the sacrifices were slaughtered.
42 Hiche a chun songa kikheng dokhang li ma aumin, hiche a chu govam thilto ding semna a kimang ji ahin, khatcheh chu inche somthum khat leh akeh adung avai kibang ahin inche somni khatna sang ahin. Hiche dokhang chunga chu govam thilto ding sasatna chem holeh sasatna dinga kimang manchah jouse kikoija ahi.
There were also four tables of cut stone for the burnt offering. They each measured one and a half cubits long, one and a half cubits wide, and a cubit high. The tools used to slaughter the burnt offerings and the other sacrifices were placed on these tables.
43 Hiche japi kimutona in banga detchetna kikil thihkoi inche thum'a sau ho chu kikhaijah ahi. Hiche kilhaina gantha sa ho chu hiche chunga chu kikoiji ahi.
Hooks measuring the width of a hand were attached to the walls inside the room. The meat of the offering was to be placed on the tables.
44 Thutanna in sungnung sunga chu indan ni uma ahi. Khat chu sahlang kotpi a chu uma lhanglang angatna khat chu lhanglang kotpi a chu uma sahlang angat ahi.
Outside the inner gate but inside the inner courtyard were two rooms. One was beside the north gate and faced south; the other beside the south gate and faced north.
45 Chule mipa chun kajah a sahlang kelkot sungnung a indan chu houin kiman chah ding dan hil lea pang thempuho umna ding ahi.
The man told me: “The room that faces south is for the priests in charge of the Temple,
46 Lhanglang kelkot sunga um indan chu maicham thempuho a ding ahin – Zadok chilhah ho ahiuvin – ajeh chu amaho hin Levi te jouse thakhella amaho bou hin Pakai anailut uva ama ding kin abolpeh ji diu ahi.
and the room that faces north is for the priests in charge of the altar. These priests are the descendants of Zadok and are the only Levites who are allowed to come near to the Lord and minister before him.”
47 Hichun mipa chun thutanna sungnung chu aten ahileh hichu aningli kibang ahin, feet jakhat leh feet som sagi leh feet nga a avail en ahin, agallang channa feet jakhat leh feet somsagi leh nga ahi. Maicham chu houin mai thutanna in na chu uma ahi.
He measured the square courtyard: a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide. The altar stood in the courtyard in front of the Temple.
48 Hichun amapa chun houin hongcha a chun eipuije. Amapan hongcha bang bang alang to in aten ahileh alangto in feet get leh hopli a hopthum a sau ahi. Alutna seh seh chu aten ahileh feet somni leh feet li leh akeh availam ahin chule lutna bang teni chu aten ahileh feet nga leh hoplia hopkat a sau ben ahi.
He took me to the Temple porch and measured the pillars of the porch as five cubits on each side. The gateway was fourteen cubits wide and its sides measured three cubits.
49 Hongcha chu availam feet somthum leh feet nga ahin, chule feet somni leh feet khat thuh ahi. Achung lang channa chu kalbi som chetou peh ah ahin, ajet aveija chu ajolpi uma ahi.
The porch was twenty cubits wide and twelve cubits deep, and had ten steps leading up to it. There were columns by the posts, one on both sides.
