< Ezekiel 42 >

1 Sahlang kotpi a kon chun houin thutanna pamlang a chun mipa chun eipui doh e. Polam thutanna in na chun kalut lhonin chule thutanna insung nunga sahlang bang ho a um indan ho a chun kahung lhone.
[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 Sahlang lutna kihong bang kigon dan chu adung lang feet jakhat le som sagi le nga ahin chule availam somget le akeh ahi.
That building was (175 feet/53 meters) long and (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) wide. Its doorway faced north.
3 Inlentah a kisa indan ho chu thutanna in toh kijop mat ahin, hichu availam feet somthum le nga ahi. Indan dang khat chu polang thutanna keng lampi toh ki ang ngat ahi. Indan teni chu song thum sanga kisa ahin, chule khat leh khat kisa galkai ahi.
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 Indan teni kikah a keng lampi chu availam feet som le sagi le akeh ahi, akivel hop sung sese chu feet jakhat som sagi le nga ahin, chule akot jousen sahlang angan ahi.
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 Asong chungnung teni a indan ho chu anoinung sangin ajum jep jep in ahi. Ajeh chu song chungnung hoa chu keng lampi amalang anei ngai ahi.
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 In chu asong thum'a kisa ahin, chule amaho chun thutanna in na bang adou ding neilou ahi. Asong chungnung chu asong noinunga chu kitung jang jep ahi.
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 Polam thutanna in na kona achom khen in polang bang chu feet som get le sagi le akeh’a sau ahi.
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 Polam indan bang ho a chun ajopsau be a hichea chu feet som get le sagi le akeh kikeh be ahin, inlen sungnung lang houin toh kijopmat indan ho chu feet jakhat le som sagi le nga kehlet be ahi.
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 Hicheng indan ho a chun thutanna'a konna lutna khat aume.
The lowest row of rooms had an entrance from the outer courtyard, on the east side.
10 Houin pang lhanglang sang sung thutanna houin leh thutanna in kikah a chun indan ni aume. Hiche indan ho chu sahlang sanga indan ho bang banga kisem ahi.
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 Hiche a chun houin sahlang panga bang bang chun indan teni kikah a chun keng lampi aume. Hiche indan let dan chu adung avai adang dang ho abang bang ahi. Chuleh adangho a banga lutna leh kot jong aneiyin ahi. Alet aneo dan dankhat chu amuthei jeng ahi.
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 Indan sungnung lang angat in lutna khat aume. Chule sung lang keng lampi kichai solam langa jong chun adang khat aume.
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 Hichun mihem pa chun kajah a eiseipeh in hiche indan ho houin kisuh vetna a kon sahlang leh lhanglang ho chu atheng ahi. Hilai munna chu Pakaija kilhaina thilto toh'a pang thempu ho chun thil theng chungnung kitoh ho chu aneh diu ahi. Chule indan ho athen jeh a chu thiltheng kitoh ho kholna a anei diu ahi. Chang thilto ho chonset thilto ho, chuleh themmo thilto ho ahiuve.
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 Thempuho chun muntheng chu adalhah teng uleh thutanna in polama chu che pai jeng theilou diu ahi. Amahon kin theng abolnau pon ho chu akilah doh masat diu ahi. Ajeh chu hiche pon ho chu atheng ahi. Amahon mipi kititna insung alut masang uva avon u akikhel masat dingu ahi.
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 Mipa chu houin kimvel sung ho ate jou phat in aman agam hop kol sung sese te ding solam kot a chun eipui doh tai.
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 Amapa chun thiltena tenglhon chun solam lang sang chu aten ahi. Chule hichu feet jaget le som sagi le nga’n asauvin ahi.
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 Hichun sahlang sang aten ahile hichu feet jaget le som sagi le nga ahi.
18 Lhanglang sang jong chu feet jaget le som sagi le nga ahi.
19 Chuleh lhumlam sang jong chu feet jaget le som sagi le nga ma ahi.
20 Hijeh chun alang jouse ajet avei asah alhang feet jaget le som sagi le nga cheh ahin, muntheng leh mi kititna mun sepkhen dingin bang akigen lhung keije.
That wall separated the [area which was] sacred/holy from the [areas that were] not sacred.
