Ezekiel 43
1 Hathnukkhu, kanîtholah kangvawi e takhang koe lah bout na ceikhai teh,
Then [in the vision] the man brought me to the entrance on the east side.
2 khenhaw! Isarel Cathut bawilennae teh kanîtho lahoi a tho. A pawlawk teh tui moikapap e pawlawk patetlah ao teh, talai heh a bawilennae hoi pheng a ang.
Suddenly I saw the glory/brightness of the God of Israel coming from the east. The sound of his coming was like the roar of a rushing river, and all that area shone with his glory.
3 A kamnuenae ka hmu teh, a kamnuenae teh, khopui raphoe hanelah ka tho e hoi Kebar tui teng e ka hmu e patetlah kamnuenae lah ao teh pakhup lah ka rawp
What I saw in this vision was like what I saw in the visions that I had seen [previously, first] by the Kebar River and [later] when God came to destroy Jerusalem. I prostrated myself on the ground.
4 Kanîtholah kangvawi e takhang koe e bawkim thung vah, BAWIPA e bawilennae teh a kâen.
The glory of Yahweh entered the temple through the east entrance.
5 Muitha ni na tawm teh, athung patuen e thongma koe lah na kâenkhai. Khenhaw! BAWIPA bawilennae hoi bawkim dawk akawi.
Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner courtyard, and the glory of Yahweh filled the temple.
6 Hahoi tami buet touh kaie teng a kangdue lahun nah tami buet touh ni na pato e ka thai teh,
[Then] while the man was standing beside me, I heard someone speak to me from inside the temple.
7 kai koevah, tami capa heteheh, ka bawitungkhung ka tahungnae hmuen, ka khok ka toungnae, Isarel catounnaw koevah, a yungyoe totouh khosak nahane hmuen doeh. Ka min kathoung teh Isarel catounnaw ni amamouh thoseh, a siangpahrangnaw thoseh, ka kâyawtnaw thoseh, siangpahrangnaw e ro pakawpnae hmuenrasang a sak awh teh, khin sak awh mahoeh toe.
He said, “You human, this is [my temple], the place [I sit on] my throne and where I rest my feet. This is where I will live with the Israeli people forever. The Israeli people and their kings will never again disgrace me [SYN] by worshiping other gods [MET] at the shrines on their hilltops, or by [building] monuments to honor their kings who have died.
8 Takhang a kâennaw pâhung e teh, kaie takhang kâennae koe a sak awh teh, ahnimae takhang a pâhungnae hah kaie takhang pâhungnae teng a hruek awh teh, ahnimouh hoi kaimanaw rahak vah, tapang buet touh ao sak teh, a sak awh e naw ni ka min kathoung a khin sak awh. Hatdawkvah, ka lungkhueknae hoi ahnimouh ka raphoe han.
They placed their altars near mine, and the doorposts of their [temples] were next to the doorposts of my [temple]. There was only a wall between them. And they disgraced me by the detestable things that they did. So, being very angry with them, I got rid of them.
9 A kâyonae hoi ahnimae siangpahrang e ro hah, kai koehoi kahlatpoung lah a tâkhawng awh naseh, kai hi ahnimouh koe a yungyoe kho ka sak han.
Now they must stop this disgusting worship of idols and these rituals to honor their kings who have died. If they stop doing those things, I will live among them forever.
10 Nang tami capa, Isarel imthung koevah, bawkim hah patue, a payonnae naw hah a kayakhai awh nahanelah, im e oangnae hah bangnue sin awh naseh.
You human, describe to the Israeli people what this temple that I have shown you [in a vision] is like, in order that they will be ashamed of the sins that they have committed [which resulted in their temple in Jerusalem being destroyed].
11 A sak awh e pueng kayakkhai awh pawiteh, bawkim e oang, tâconae hoi kâennaw a hnonae hoi a khetyawtnae naw hah pâtue haw, ahnimae mithmu vah, thut haw, phunglawk poe e pueng a hnonae naw hah a pâkuem awh vaiteh, a tarawi thai awh nahan,
If they are ashamed of all [the evil things] that they have done, tell them [all] about the temple [that I showed you]: its design/shape, the exits and entrances, [and everything else about it]. And tell them all my laws and regulations about worshiping me there. Write all these things down while they watch you, in order that they will be able to faithfully obey those laws.
12 Hetheh bawkim hanelah kâlawk doeh atengpam pueng hoi monsom e naw. hmuen kathoung poung e naw doeh, khenhaw! hetheh bawkim e kâlawk hah doeh.
And this is the supreme law about the temple [DOU]: All of the area on top of the hill [where the temple will be built] must be kept sacred and holy.”
13 Khoungroe a saw e padawng toteh, hetheh khoungroe a lennae (dong touh tie hah dong touh hoi kutsampha to touh e doeh), a kamhungnae teh dong touh a rasang, dong touh a kaw, arai petkâkalup lah khap touh ka kaw e hoi a yep teh cum sak lah ao.
These are the measurements of the altar, using the same kind of measuring stick that was used for the temple area: There is a gutter around the altar that is (21 in./53 cm.) deep and (21 in./53 cm.) wide. There is a rim around it that is (9 in./23 cm.) wide.
14 Khoungroe a rasang e teh, a rahim lae a pâhungnae koehoi, avanlah totouh dong hni touh, a kaw e dong touh, kathoengca hrawtnae hoi kalen e hrawtnae totouh dong pali touh a pha teh, dong touh a kaw.
The lower part of the gutter is (3-1/2 feet/1.1 meters) high to the lower ledge/rim that surrounds the altar. The lower ledge is (21 in./53 cm.) wide. The upper part of the altar is (7 feet/2.1 meters) high, up to the upper ledge. That ledge is also (21 in./53 cm.) wide.
15 Khoungroe a rasang e hai dong pali touh a pha teh, ki pali touh a kangdue.
The (hearth/place where the sacrifices are burned) at the top of the altar is another (7 feet/2.2 meters) high, and there is a projection that juts/extends up from each of the four corners.
16 Khoungroe teh a takin pali touh a pha teh, ayung dong hrahlaikahni, adangka dong hrahlaikahni a pha.
That place at the top of the altar is square, (21 feet/6.4 meters) on each side.
17 A rahim lae a pâhungnae hai takin pali touh a pha, ayung dong hlaipali, adangka dong hlaipali touh a pha. Petkâkalup lah a kaw e khap touh, a hetnae khoungroe petkâkalup lah dong touh a tâco teh a luennae lam teh kanîtholah a kangvawi hanelah a o, telah a ti.
The upper ledge is also a square, (24-1/2 feet/7.4 meters) on each side. There is a (21 in./53 cm.) gutter [at the bottom of the altar], and a (10.5 in./26.6 cm.) rim all around it. There are steps up to the east side of the altar.”
18 Hahoi kai koe vah tami capa Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, be a sak toteh, khoungroe hnonae a lamthung teh, hmaisawi thueng nahan e hoi a thi kathek nahane doeh.
Then the man said to me, “You human, this is what Yahweh the Lord says: These are the regulations for sacrificing offerings that will be completely burned and for sprinkling the blood against the sides of the altar when it is built:
19 Levih miphun vaihma Zadok catounnaw dawk hoi thaw na ka tawk pouh hanelah, ouk na kahnaikung koevah, yon thueng nahanelah, maitotan na poe han telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.
You must present to the priests a young bull to be an offering to cause the altar to be acceptable to me. The priests are descendants of Levi, from the clan of Zadok, who come near to the altar to serve me.
20 A thi hah na la vaiteh, khoungroe ki pali touh hoi a hrawtnae takin pali touh e hoi petkâtue lah na hluk vaiteh, na thoung sak vaiteh yonthanae na sak pouh han.
You must take some of the blood [from the bull that is sacrificed], and smear it on the four projections of the altar and on the four corners of the upper ledge, and all around the rim, to cause the altar to be acceptable to me, and to consecrate it.
21 Yon thueng nahanelah, maito na la vaiteh, a thoungnae hmuen hloilah Bawk im thung kârakuengnae hmuen koe hmai na sawi han.
You must burn that bull outside the temple in the part of the temple area [that I have] designated for that.
22 A hnin pahni dawk, kacueme hmaetan, yon thuengnae lah na poe awh han, khoungroe hah maito thi hoi na thoung sak e patetlah hmae thi hoi na sak han.
The next day, you must offer a male goat that has no defects, to be an offering to cause the altar to be acceptable to me. Then you must purify the altar again, like you did with the bull that was sacrificed.
23 Hote khoungroe hah na thoung sak hnukkhu toun ka tawn hoeh e maitotanca hoi kacueme hmaetan hah BAWIPA e hmalah na poe han.
When you have finished doing all that, you must offer a young bull and a ram, both of them without any defects.
24 Vaihmanaw ni palawi a phuen awh vaiteh, hote satheinaw hah BAWIPA hanelah, hmaisawi thuengnae lah a poe han.
You must offer them to [me], Yahweh, and the priests must sprinkle salt on them and completely burn them [on the altar] for a sacrifice to me.
25 Hnin sari touh thung hnintangkuem hmae buet touh hah yon thuengnae lah na hno awh han. Toun kaawm hoeh e maitotanca hoi tutan buet touh hai na hno han.
[Then], each day for seven days, you must bring [to the priest] a male goat [to be sacrificed] for an offering to cause the altar to be acceptable to me. You must also sacrifice a young bull and a ram, [each] without any defect.
26 Hnin sari touh thung khoungroe yonthanae na sak vaiteh na thoungsak han. Nama hoi nama hai vaihma e a hmuen dawk na kâpoe han.
For seven days the priests will consecrate the altar and cause it to be acceptable to me. By doing that they will dedicate it to me.
27 A hnin sari a loumhoehnae a hnin hnin taroe hnin dawk thoseh, hote hnin koehoi vaihmanaw ni thuengnae thoseh, khoungroe van a poe awh han. Hmaisawi thuengnae hoi roum thuengnae naw hah a poe awh vaiteh, nangmanaw kai ni na coe awh han telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei telah a ti.
At the end of those seven days, starting on the following day, the priests will continue to put on the altar offerings to be completely burned and offerings to maintain fellowship with me. Then I will accept you. [That it what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.”
