Ezekiel 40

1 E higa mar piero ariyo gabich kane wan e twech; odiechiengʼ mar apar mar dwe mokwongo, mane en higa mar apar gangʼwen bangʼ podho mar dala maduongʼ mar Jerusalem; chiengʼno bad Jehova Nyasaye ne ni kuoma, kendo ne otera kuno.

Almost 25 years after we had been [to Babylonia], on the tenth day of the first month of that year, almost 14years after Jerusalem had been destroyed, in a vision [I felt] the power [MTY] of Yahweh on me, and he took me to Israel.

2 Kane an e fweny kamano, Nyasaye notera nyaka e piny Israel mi nochunga ewi got moro mabor ahinya. To e bath godno ma yo milambo ne aneno ute moger machalo dala maduongʼ.

He set me on a very high mountain. On the south side of that mountain there were some buildings that appeared to be [part of] a city.

3 Ne okawa motera kuno, kendo ne aneno ngʼato ma kite chalo gi mula; ne ochungʼ e dhorangach kotingʼo fut molos gi law mayom kod odundu mar pimo e lwete.

When he took there, I saw a man whose face was like [SIM] bronze. He was standing in the entrance [of a building]. He had a linen cord and a measuring stick in his hand.

4 Ngʼatno nowachona niya, “Wuod dhano, ne giwangʼi kendo ket chunyi mondo ingʼe gik moko duto abiro nyisi, nikech mano emomiyo osekeli ka. Nyis jo-Israel gik moko duto mineno.”

He said to me, “You human, look carefully at everything that I am going to show you, and pay attention to everything that I say and everything that I will show you, because that is why you have been brought here. [And then later] you must tell the Israeli people everything that you have seen [here].”

5 Ne aneno ohinga moro molworo kama hekalu nitie. Ngʼatno nokaw odundu mar pimo mane ni e lwete ma borne ne romo fut apar. Ne opimo ohinga, kendo lach kore gi borne ne romo fut apar moro ka moro.

[In the vision I saw that] there was a wall that completely surrounded the temple area. The measuring stick in the man’s hand was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) long. He measured the wall: It was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) thick and (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) high.

6 Eka nodhi nyaka rangach mochomo yo wuok chiengʼ. Noidho raidhi mi opimo lach baw mar rangach midonjogo. Nonwangʼo ka lachne ne en fut apar.

Then he went to the entryway on the east [side of the temple]. He climbed the steps and measured the outer threshold/opening for the entryway: It was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) deep.

7 Rangajno ne nigi agola malach motingʼo ute mag jorito mane fut apar maromre to kindgi nopogi gi kor ot ma lachne ne fut aboro kuom borgi gi lachgi. To agola mar ohinga mane nitie e dhorangajno ne romo fut apar.

Next, there was an entry hallway with [three] (alcoves/very small rooms) along each side [where the guards stood]. Each of the alcoves was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) on each side. There was a dividing wall between each alcove that was (8-3/4 feet/2.7 meters) wide. At the end of the entry hallway was the inner threshold/opening for the entryway, (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) deep. It led to the entry room [to the inner courtyard] and faced the temple.

8 Eka nopimo agola mochomo kama idonjogo,

Then he measured the entry room at the end of the entry hallway.

9 lachne ne romo fut apar, to lach mar sirnine ariyogo ne romo fut adek. Agola mar dhorangach midonjogo nochomo hekalu.

It was about (14 feet/4.2 meters) long, and its supporting columns were (3-1/2 feet/1.1 meters) thick. The entry room of the entryway was at the end of the entry hallway that faced the temple [and extended into the courtyard].

10 Ne nitie udi adek adek mag jorito e bath ei dhorangach man yo wuok chiengʼ. Bathe udigo ne romre koni gi koni, kendo lach kor ot mane opogogi ne romre duto koni gi koni.

Inside the east entryway there were three alcoves on each side of the entry hallway. They each had the same length and width. And the measurements of the walls that divided the alcoves were all identical.

11 Eka nopimo lach mar kor dhorangach mi noromo fut piero ariyo gi ariyo, to bor mar aripe ne en fut apar gaboro.

Then he measured the threshold/opening for the entryway: It was (17-1/2 feet/5.3 meters) wide, and the entry hallway [between the alcoves] was (22-3/4 feet/6.9 meters) wide.

12 E nyim udi mag joritogo moro ka moro, ne nitie ohinga moro machiek ma borne kadhi malo noromo fut achiel gi nus, to udigo, moro ka moro, ne romre e borgi gi lachgi, fut ochiko ochiko.

In front of each alcove was a low wall about (21 inches/53 cm.) high, and the alcoves were (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) on each side.

13 Eka nopimo lach mar rangach kochakore ewi ohinga mar achiel kuom ute matindo tindogo, man yo ka tok ot, nyaka chop ewi ohinga momanyore kode, monwangʼo ni oromo fut piero ariyo gabich gi nus, kochakore ewi tat ot achiel nyaka machielo.

Then he measured the width of the roof of the entrance hallway, the distance between the rear wall of one alcove to the rear wall of the opposite alcove, [including the supporting walls along each side]. It was (43-3/4 feet/13.3 meters).

14 Ne opimo dho ohinga mochomo ei rangach moyudo ni lachne en fut piero adek gauchiel. Pimono nochopo nyaka ewi agola momanyore gi laru.

Then he measured all along the dividing walls between the alcoves all along the inside of the entry hallway: It was (105 feet/31.8 meters). He measured as far as the entry room of the entryway.

15 Bor mar yo moa e dhorangach nyaka e laru ne romo fut piero adek.

The length from [outer] opening of the entryway to the far end of the entry room was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters).

16 Nitie otuchi matindo tindo e kor ot ma oko mag udigo duto, kendo e kor ot ma iye manie kind udi. E kor udi ma yo ka iye momanyore gi yo mokadho e kind udigo, nogorie yiend othidhe.

There were [small] windows in the outside walls of all the alcoves, and also in the inner dividing walls between the alcoves. There were also small windows in the entry room. The dividing walls were decorated with [carvings of] palm trees.

17 Eka nokela nyaka e laru ma oko mar hekalu. Kanyo ne aneno agola moko moger, kod yo momwon motegno mane olosi molworo laru duto. Agolago noriedo e bath yo momwon motegnono, kendo ne gin piero adek.

Then [in the vision] he brought me to the outer courtyard. There I saw some rooms, and a stone path/pavement along the walls around the courtyard. There were thirty rooms along the path.

18 Yo momwon motegnono noringo e bath yo maduongʼ midonjogo, kendo lachne ne romre gi borne. Yo momwon motegnono ne en yo mapiny.

The stone path was all around the courtyard, and it extended out from the walls into the courtyard for the same distance as the entry room [of the entryway]. That was the lower path.

19 Eka nopimo bor man e kind yo ka ii kama idonjogo nyaka oko mar agola ma iye. Nonwangʼo ni oromo fut apar gabich yo ka bathe mochomo yo wuok chiengʼ kod bathe mochomo yo nyandwat.

Then the man measured the distance [across the outer courtyard of the temple], between the inner [entrance of] the entryway and [the wall surrounding the] inner courtyard: It was (175 feet/53 meters) [on the east side and on the north side of the courtyard].

20 Eka nopimo bor gi lach mar rangach mochomo yo nyandwat, midonjogo e laru ma oko.

Then he measured how long and how wide was the entryway that was on the north side, the entrance into the outer courtyard [of the temple].

21 Udi mag rito mane oger adek e bathe konchiel kendo adek e bath yo momwon motegno koni gi koni, gi ohingage moliero gi malo kod agola mare ne pimgi romre kod mago manie rangach midonjogo mokwongo. Ne en fut piero abiriyo gabich kuom borne kod fut piero adek gabiriyo gi nus kuom lachne.

There were three alcoves on each side of the entryway hall. The measurements of the alcoves, the dividing walls between the alcoves, and the entry room were the same as as those in the first entryway. The length from [outer] opening of the entryway to the far end of the entry room was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters). The entryway was (43-3/4 feet/13.3 meters) wide.

22 Otuchi mage minenogo gi agola mage kod othidhe mogor kuome ne pimgi romre gi mago manie rangach mochomo yo wuok chiengʼ. Kama iluwo kidonjogo kanyo ne nigi raidhi abiriyo, kendo agola mare nochomore kode tir.

Its windows and the entry room and the palm tree [decorations all] measured the same as the ones on the east [side]. There were seven steps up to the outer threshold/opening for the entryway, and an entry room was at the other end of the entryway.

23 Ne nitie rangach midonjogo e laru ma iye mochomore gi rangach man yo nyandwat, machalre gi machielo mane ni koma ochomo yo wuok chiengʼ. Ne opimo bor manie kindgi moyudo ka en fut mia achiel gi piero abich.

There was an entryway to the inner courtyard that faces the north entryway, like there was on the east [side]. The man measured [the distance] from [the north] entryway to the entryway [on the other side]; it was (175 feet/53 meters).

24 Eka notera nyaka yo milambo kendo naneno rangach mochomo kuno. Nopimo sirnigo kod agola mare, kendo ne giromre e pim kaka mamoko.

Then he brought me through the south entryway [into the outer courtyard], and he measured it. It measured the same as the other entryways. Its alcoves, its dividing walls between the alcoves, and its entry room measured the same as the ones on the other sides.

25 Rangach midonjogo kod agola mage ne nigi otuchi madiny molworogi machalre gi otuchi mane oriedo e rangeye mamoko. Borne ne oromo fut piero abiriyo gabich kendo lachne en fut piero adek gabiriyo gi nus.

The alcoves and the entry room had [narrow] windows along the walls, like on the other [sides]. The length [of the outer opening of the] entryway [to the far end of the entry room was] was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) and the entryway was (43-3/4 feet/13.3 meters) wide.

26 Kama iluwo kidonjo kanyo ne nigi raidhi abiriyo, kendo agola mare ne ngʼiyore kodgi tir. Ne ogor othidhe e kor ohinga moliero gi malo e bathe koni gi koni.

There were seven steps up to the outer threshold/opening for the entryway, and an entry room was (opposite it/at the end of the entryway facing the courtyard). It [also] had [carvings of] palm trees on the dividing walls that were between the alcoves.

27 Laru ma iye bende ne nigi rangach moro mochomo yo milambo, kendo ne opimo rangajni nyaka rangach ma oko man yo milambo. En noromo fut mia achiel gi piero abich.

The inner courtyard also had an entryway on the south [side]. He measured from that entryway to the entrance on the south [side of the outer courtyard; it was also] (175 feet/53 meters).

28 Eka nokela nyaka e laru maiye, kokalo koda e rangach man yo milambo, kendo nopimo rangajno. Pimne ne romre gi pim mar rangeye mamoko duto.

Then [in the vision] he brought me through the south entryway into the inner courtyard, and he measured the south entryway. It measured the same as the other [entryways].

29 Utege matindo mag rito, gi ohinga mage mochwore e kor ohinga ma oko kod agola mare ne romre gi mamoko duto kuom pim. Rangach midonjogo kod agola mare ne nigi dirisni molwore duto. Borne ne en fut piero abiriyo gabich to lachne ne en fut piero adek gabiriyo gi nus.

Its alcoves [along the entry hallway], its dividing walls [between the alcoves], and its entry room measured the same as [the ones on] the other [sides]. The alcoves and the entry room had windows. The length [of the outer opening of the] entryway [to the far end of the entry room was] was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) and the entryway was (43-3/4 feet/13.3 meters) wide.

30 Agolni mag rangeye molworo laru maiye lachne ne en fut piero adek gabiriyo gi nus, to tutne ne en fut abiriyo gi nus.

The entry rooms around [the inner courtyard] were (43-3/4 feet/13.3 meters) wide and (8.7 feet/2.6 meters) long.

31 Agola mare nochomo laru ma oko, sirnige ne ogorie yiend othidhe, kendo raidhi mi idho eka ichop kanyo ne gin aboro.

The entry room faced the outer courtyard. There were [carvings of] palm trees that decorated the columns, and there were eight steps [up] to the entryway.

32 Eka nokela nyaka e laru maiye man yo wuok chiengʼ, kendo nopimo rangach midonjogo, pimne ne romre gi pim mar rangeye mamoko duto.

Then he led me to the east side of the inner courtyard, and he measured the entrance. It had the same measurements as the other [entrances]

33 Utege matindo mag rito, gi ohinga mage mochwore e kor ohinga ma oko kod agola mare ne pimgi romre gi mamoko duto kuom pim. Rangach midonjogo kod agola mare ne nigi otuchi moriedo kolwore duto. Borne noromo fut piero abiriyo gabich to lachne ne en fut piero adek gabiriyo gi nus.

Its alcoves and dividing walls and entry room measured the same as the others.

34 Sirni momako agola mare nochomo laru ma oko; sirnige nogorie yiende mag othidhe oko gi iye, kendo raidhi mi idho eka ichop kanyo ne gin aboro.

Its entry room faced the outer courtyard. It also had carvings of palm trees that decorated the walls, and it had eight steps up to it.

35 Eka nokalo e rangach man yo nyandwat kendo nopime. Pimne ne romre gi rangeje mamoko,

Then he led me to the entrance on the north side and measured it. It measured the same as the other entrances.

36 mana kaka utege matindo mag rito, gi ohinga mage mochwore e kor ohinga ma oko kod agola mare, kendo ne en gi dirisni moriedo kolwore duto. Borne noromo fut piero abiriyo gabich to lachne ne en fut piero adek gabiriyo gi nus.

And its alcoves and walls between them and the entry room all had [small] windows in the walls. It was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) long and (43.7 feet/13.3 meters) wide.

37 Sirni momako agola mare nochomo laru ma oko; sirnige nogorie yiende mag othidhe oko gi iye, kendo raidhi mi idho eka ichop kanyo ne gin aboro.

Its entry room faced the outer courtyard. There were [carvings of] palm trees that decorated its walls, and there were eight steps [up] to the entryway.

38 Ot moro man-gi dhoot ne ni e bath agola e dhorangeye maiye mag donjo moro ka moro, kama ne ilwokoe ringʼo mitimogo misengini miwangʼo pep.

[In the vision, I saw that] in the inner entry room of the north entryway there was a door to a side room. That side room was where the [carcasses of the] animals that would be burned completely [on the altar] were washed.

39 Ei agola mar rangach midonjogo ne nitie mesni ariyo bathe koni gi koni, ewi mesnigo ema ne iyangʼoe jamni mitimogo misengini mopogore opogore kaka misengini miwangʼo pep, misengini mag golo richo, kod misengini mag pwodhoruok e richo.

In the entry room, there were two tables on each side [of the room]. On those tables would be slaughtered the animals that would be completely burned, and the animals for offerings for sins that people had committed, and offerings to cause people to longer be guilty for having sinned.

40 E tok ohinga mar rangach midonjogo, man but raidhi rangach midonjogo man yo nyandwat ne nitie mesni ariyo, kendo e bath raidhi koni gi koni bende ne nitie mesni ariyo.

Along the outside wall of the entry room, on each side of the steps at the opening to the entryway on the north side, were two tables.

41 Omiyo ne nitie mesni angʼwen e bath rangach midonjogo konchiel kod angʼwen mamoko e bathe komachielo, giduto gin, mesni aboro mane iyangʼoe misengini.

[So] there were four tables outside the entrance and four tables inside the entry room, on which the [animals to be] sacrificed were slaughtered.

42 Bende ne nitie mesni angʼwen molos gi kite mopa mane owe ni misengini miwangʼo pep, ma moro ka moro borne ne romo fut ariyo gi nus, lachne ne en fut ariyo gi nus, to borne modhi malo ne en fut achiel gi nus. E wigi noketie gik miyangʼogo misengini miwangʼo pep kod misengini mamoko.

There were also four tables of cut stone for the offerings to be completely burned, (31-1/2 in./80 cm.) on each side and (21 in./53 cm.) high. On those stone tables would be placed the tools for slaughtering all the animals for the sacrifices.

43 Kendo mbedo ma dhogi ariyo, ma moro ka moro bat achiel, ne ochwo e ohinga, kaluwore gi yo ka iye. Mesnigo ne mar keto ringʼo mag misengini.

The meat for the offerings would be placed on [stone] tables. There were hooks [on which the meat was hung], each with two prongs, each (3 in./8 cm.) long, fastened to the walls [of the entry room].

44 E bath rangach man yo nyandwat e laru maiye, ne nitie ot moro mochomo yo milambo; to e bath rangach man yo milambo ne nitie ot machielo machal gi mano mochomo yo nyandwat.

Outside the inner entryway, inside the inner courtyard, were two rooms, one on the north side and one on the south side.

45 Nowachona niya, “Ot mochomo milambo en mar jodolo matiyo ei hekalu,

The man said to me, “The room whose door faces south is for the priests who are in charge of the work in the temple.

46 to ot mochomo nyandwat en mar jodolo matiyo e kendo mar misango. Jodologo duto nyaka bed jo-Lawi ma nyikwa Zadok, kendo gin kendo gin kende ema moyienigi sudo machiegni gi Jehova Nyasaye mondo gitine.”

The room whose door faces north is for the priests who are in charge of [the work at] the altar. They are the descendants of Zadok; they are the only descendants of Levi who are permitted to approach Yahweh while they work for him.”

47 Eka nopimo laruno mi oyudo ni bethene duto ne romre, ka gin gi fut mia achiel gi piero abich moro ka moro borne gi lachne. Kendo mar misango ne ni e nyim hekaluno.

Then he measured the courtyard: It was square, (175 feet/53 meters) long and (175 feet/53 meters) wide. The altar was in front of the temple.

48 Nokela nyaka e agola mar hekalu kendo nopimo sirni mag agolano; bethene ne romo fut abiriyo gi nus koni gi koni. Lach mar kama idonjogo ne romo fut piero ariyo gachiel kendo ohinga mage mochwore e kor ohinga ma oko ne romo fut angʼwen gi nus bathe koni gi koni.

Then [in the vision] he brought me to the entry room of the temple, and measured the walls on each side of the entrance: They were (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) thick. The entrance was (24-1/2 feet/7.4 meters) wide, and the walls on each side of the entrance were (5-1/4 feet/1.6 meters) long.

49 Lach mar agola ne en fut piero adek, kendo chakre nyime nyaka toke noromo fut apar gaboro. Ne inyalo chopi kanyo kiidho raidhi man-gi raidhi mangʼeny, kendo ne nitie sirni mochungi motegno mane osiro bath gama koni gi koni.

The entry room was (35 feet/10.6 meters) wide on each side. There were ten steps up to it, and there were pillars on each side of the entrance.
