Ezekiel 44
1 Eka ngʼatno noduoga nyaka e rangach ma oko mar kama ler mar lemo, mochomo yo wuok chiengʼ, kendo ne olore.
Then he brought me back to the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looketh toward the east; and it was shut.
2 Jehova Nyasaye nowachona niya, “Rangajni nyaka sik kolor. Ok onego yawe, kendo ok oyie ni ngʼato mondo oluwe kadonjo. Nyaka osik kolore nikech Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, oseluwe kadonjo.
Then said Jehovah to me: This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because Jehovah, the God of Israel, entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut.
3 Wuod ruoth kende ema oyiene mar bet piny gi ei rangach mondo ochiem e nyim Jehova Nyasaye. To nyaka odonji koluwo bwo gama mar kar donjo kendo kanyo ema ochak oluw kodok.”
The prince, because he is prince, shall sit in it, to eat food before Jehovah; he shall enter through the porch of that gate, and by the same way shall he go out.
4 Eka ngʼatno nokela koluwo koda rangach man yo nyandwat mochomo nyim hekalu tir. Nangʼicho, kendo naneno duongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye kopongʼo hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, mi napodho piny auma.
Then he brought me to the north gate before the house; and I looked, and behold, the glory of Jehovah filled the house of Jehovah. And I fell upon my face.
5 Jehova Nyasaye nowachona niya, “Wuod dhano, nen maber, chik iti mos kendo ket chunyi mondo itim gik moko duto ma anyisi kuom chike duto mag hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye. Ket chunyi mar yango yo midonjogo e hekalu kod yore duto miwuokgo kama ler mar lemo.
And Jehovah said to me: Son of man, mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say to thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of Jehovah, and all the laws thereof; and mark well all the entrances of the house, and all the outward passages of the sanctuary.
6 Nyis jo-dhood Israel ma jongʼanyogo kama: ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Yaye dhood Israel, timbeu mamono oroma!
And say to the rebellious house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Let it suffice you of all your abominations, O house of Israel,
7 Kaachiel gi timbeu mamono mamoko duto, ne ukelo ogendini mamoko ma ok oter nyangu gie chunygi gi ringregi nyaka ei kara maler mar lemo, mine udwanyo hekaluna kane uchiwona chiemo gi boche kod remo, kendo ne uketho singruokna kodu.
in that ye brought strangers, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, so that ye polluted my house when ye offered my food, the fat and the blood, and broke my covenant by all your abominations.
8 Kar timo gima owinjore utim gi giga maler, to ne uketo jomoko nono mondo ema orit kara maler mar lemo.
And ye kept not the charge of my holy place, but appointed for yourselves such keepers of my charge in my sanctuary.
9 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Onge ogendini ma ok oter nyangu gie chunygi kata kuom ringregi moyie negidonjo kara maler mar lemo, kata obed ni gin oganda ma oko modak e dier jo-Israel.
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: No stranger, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of all the strangers that are among the sons of Israel.
10 “‘To jo-Lawi mane odhi mabor koda ka jo-Israel nobaro oweya, mago mane obaro oweya ka giluwo nyisechegi manono, nyaka yud kum maromre gi richogi.
But even the Levites, who departed from me when Israel went astray, who went astray from me after their idols, shall bear their iniquity.
11 Ginyalo mana tiyona e kara maler mar lemo ka girito dhorangeye mag hekalu kendo ka gikonyo tije moko e iye; ginyalo yangʼo jamni mitimogo misengini miwangʼo pep kendo ginyalo chiwo misengini ni ji ka gichungʼ e nyimgi kendo gitiyonegi.
Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having charge at the gates of the house, and ministering at the house; they shall slay the burnt-offering and sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister to them.
12 To nikech negitiyo nigi e nyim nyisechegi manono, mi gimiyo jo-dhood Israel opodho e richo, omiyo asekwongʼora chuth ni nyaka giyud kum maromre gi richogi, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho.
Because they ministered to them before their idols, and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity, therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, saith the Lord Jehovah, that they shall bear their iniquity.
13 Ok oyienigi sudo buta machiegni mondo gitina kaka jodolo, kata mondo gibi machiegni gi gira moro amora maler, kata gi chiwo maga maler mogik. Nyaka gitingʼ wichkuot mar timbegi mamono.
And they shall not come near to me to do the office of a priest to me, and to come near to any of my holy things in the most holy place, but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.
14 To kata kamano pod abiro ketogi jorit mag tijega mag hekalu kod tije duto monego otim e iye.
But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all which is to be done therein.
15 “‘To jodolo ma jo-Lawi kendo ma nyikwa Zadok mane otiyo tijegi gi adiera e kara maler mar lemo kane jo-Israel obaro oweya, oyienigi sudo buta machiegni mondo giti e nyima. Ginyalo chungʼ e nyima ka gichiwo misengini mag boche gi remo, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho.
But the priests, the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the sons of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister to me, and they shall stand before me to offer to me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord Jehovah.
16 Gin kendgi ema onego gidonji e kara maler mar lemo; gin kendgi ema oyienigi sudo machiegni gi mesana mondo giti e nyima kendo gitim tijena.
They shall come into my sanctuary, and they shall draw near to my table to minister to me, and shall keep my charge.
17 “‘Ka gidonjo e dhorangeye mag laru ma iye, to nyaka girwak lewni marep-rep. Ok oyienegi rwako lewni mapek molos gi yie rombe ka gitiyo e dhorangeye mag laru ma iye, kata ei hekalu.
And when they enter the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments, and no wool shall come upon them while they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within the house.
18 Nyaka gitwe kilemba molos gi lewni marep-rep e wiyegi, kendo nyaka gitwe lewni marep-rep e nungogi. Ok oyienigi rwako gimoro amora manyalo miyo luya chamgi.
They shall have linen coverings upon their heads, and linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with anything that causeth sweat.
19 Kagiwuok oko mondo gidonji e laru ma oko kama ji nitie to nyaka gigol oko lewni mane girwako ka gitiyo, kendo nyaka giwegi e udi maler mowal, ka girwako lepgi mamoko, mondo kik gikel chandruok ni joma orere e lewnigo.
And when they go forth into the outer court, even into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments in which they ministered, and lay them in the holy rooms, and shall clothe themselves with other garments, that they may not sanctify the people with their garments.
20 “‘Ok oyienigi lielo yie wigi kata weyo yie wigi dongo maboyo, to nyaka gine ni yier wiyegi obusi maber.
They shall neither shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall shear their heads.
21 Ok oyiene jadolo madho divai seche modonjo e laru maiye.
And no priest shall drink wine when they enter into the inner court.
22 Bende ok oyienigi kendo mon ma chwogi otho, kata mon moweyo chwogi. Ginyalo kendo mana nyiri masilili mag jo-Israel, kata dhako ma chwore otho ma chwore ne jadolo.
Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, or her that is put away; but they shall take virgins of the race of the house of Israel, or a widow that is the widow of a priest.
23 Jadolo onego puonj joga pogruok manie kind gik maler mowal kod gik moko amoka moriwo ji duto, kendo nyaka ginyisgi kaka ginyalo pogo kind gik mochido gi gik mopwodhi.
And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and unholy, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
24 “‘Ka nitie winjruok marach moro amora e kind ji, to jodolo nyaka bed jongʼad bura kendo nyaka gilos wachno kaluwore gi buchena. Nyaka girit chikena gi yorena morito nyasi maga moyiedhi duto, kendo nyaka girit Sabato maga kaka odiechienge maler.
And in controversy they shall stand to judge; according to my statutes shall they judge. And they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all my festivals, and they shall hallow my sabbaths.
25 “‘Jadolo nyaka ritre, kendo kik osud machiegni gi ringre ngʼama otho ma dimi obed mogak. To kapo ni ngʼama othono en wuon mare kata min mare, kata wuode kata nyare, kata owadgi kata nyamin mapok odhi tedo, to oyiene mondo obed mogak.
And they shall come to no dead person to defile themselves; but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves.
26 Ka osepwodhore, to nyaka orit kuom ndalo abiriyo.
And after his cleansing they shall reckon to him seven days.
27 Odiechiengʼ mowinjore odonji e laru maiye mar kama ler mar lemo mondo oti tij dolo e kama ler mar lemo, to nyaka ochiw misango mar golo richo ni en owuon, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho.
And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin-offering, saith the Lord Jehovah.
28 “‘An e girkeni kende ma jadolo nigo. Kik umigi mwandu moro amora e piny Israel. An ema abiro bedo mwandugi.
And it shall be to them for an inheritance, that I am their inheritance. And ye shall give them no possession in Israel; I am their possession.
29 Gibiro chamo misengini mag cham, misengini mag golo richo kod misengini mag pwodhruok; kendo gimoro amora manie piny Israel mowal ni Jehova Nyasaye nobed margi.
They shall eat the flour-offering, and the sin-offering, and the trespass-offering; and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs.
30 Chambu mabeyo mogik duto mukwongo kayo kaachiel gi chiwo magu duto makende biro bedo mag jodolo. Chiemo mokwong tedo mag chambgi nomi jodolo eka ginigwedh miechu.
And the first of all the first-fruits, and every oblation of all your oblations, shall belong to the priests. Ye shall also give to the priest the first of your meal, that he may cause a blessing to rest on thine house.
31 Jodolo ok oyienegi chamo gimoro amora motho kende kata ma ondiek onego, bed ni en winyo kata le.
The priests shall not eat of anything that dieth of itself, or that is torn, whether it be fowl or beast.
