Ezekiel 42
1 Hathnukkhu hoi atunglae lam lahoi thongma koe lah, na tâcokhai teh, im e atunglah ka houng e hmuen e hmalah kaawm e rakhannaw hah na patue.
[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 Hahoi atunglae im takhangnaw teh, ayung dong 100 touh asaw teh, adangka dong 50 touh akaw.
That building was (175 feet/53 meters) long and (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) wide. Its doorway faced north.
3 Athung patuen e thongma hmuen ka houng e dong 20 touh koe lah kangvawi e hoi, alawilae thongma talung phai e koe lah kangvawi lahoi imrakhan dot thum touh ao.
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 Im rakhannaw e a rahak dawk dong touh ka kaw e, dong 10 touh ka saw e takannae ao. Takhangnaw ni atunglah a kangvawi awh.
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 Lathueng patuen e rakhannaw teh abuenghnawn, bangkongtetpawiteh, a dot rahim e hoi a lungui e naw hlak rakhannaw ni hmuen ka paphnawn a la dawk doeh.
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 Bangkongtetpawiteh, dot thum touh lah sak e lah ao teh, thongma e khomnaw patetlah khom hah tawn awh hoeh, hottelah a lungui e dot hlak a lathueng lae dot bet abuenghnawn.
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 Hote rakhan avangvanglah, alawilae thongma koe lah, rakhannaw e hmalah, a dum awh e tapang teh, ayung dong 50 touh a pha.
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 Alawilae thongma teng e rakhannaw teh, ayung dong 50 touh a pha. Bawkim e hmalah ayung teh dong 100 touh a pha.
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 Alawilae thongma hoi athunglah kanae patetlah kanîtho lahoi kâennae lamthung ao.
The lowest row of rooms had an entrance from the outer courtyard, on the east side.
10 Imka lah ka houng e hmuen hah atunglae dum e thongma e tapang dawk hai rakhannaw ao.
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 Hote rakhannaw e hmalah kaawm e takannae koehoi rakhan ayung adangka, tâconae kâennae takhang kaawm e pueng teh, atunglae rakhan hoi mei rei a kâvan awh.
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 Akalae rakhan takhang hai, atunglae rakhan takhangnaw hoi a kâvan awh teh, thongma avangvanglah kanîtholah kangvawi e takannae tapang apasueke koe kâennae takhang ao.
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 Ka bangnue e ni hai ka houng e hmuen koe e hmalah, atunglae rakhan hoi akalae rakhannaw teh kathounge rakhan, Bawipa Jehovah koe rek kahnai e vaihmanaw ni kathoungpounge hnonaw hah a canae rakhannaw doeh. Hote a hmuen teh, a thoung dawkvah, kathoungpounge hno yon thuengnae, tavai thuengnae, yontha thuengnae hrueknae hmuen doeh.
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 Vaihmanaw ni a kâen toteh, thaw a tawknae angki a khohna awh teh, kathounge hmuen koehoi, alawilae thongma koe lah tâcawt mahoeh, hote khohna a thoung dawkvah, a rading teh alouke khohna hah a kho hnukkhu, taminaw a onae koe a cei ao thai han telah kai ni ka dei, telah ati.
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 Athung e bawkim be a bangnue hnukkhu, kanîtholah kangvawi e, kâen tâconae lamthung koe na tâcokhai teh, petkâkalup lah a bangnue.
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 Bangnuenae cakui hoi Kanîtholae a bangnue teh, a bangnuenae hoi a bangnue teh dong 500 touh a pha.
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 Atunglae hah a bangnuenae cakui hoi a bangnue teh dong 500 touh a pha.
18 Akalae bout a bangnue teh bangnuenae cakui hoi a bangnue teh dong 500 touh a pha.
19 kanîloumlah hoi bout a bangnue teh, a bangnuenae cakui hoi a bangnue teh dong 500 touh a pha.
20 Avoivang lahoi a bangnue teh, ayung 500 touh a pha, adangka dong 500 touh a pha. Petkâkalup lah tapang ao teh, hmuen kathoung hoi hmuen kathounghoehe kapeknae lah ao.
That wall separated the [area which was] sacred/holy from the [areas that were] not sacred.
