Ezekiel 40

1 In the twenty-fifth year of our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month—in the fourteenth year after Jerusalem had been struck down—on that very day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and He took me there.

Ku ntandikwa ey’omwaka ogw’amakumi abiri mu etaano nga tuli mu buwaŋŋanguse, ku lunaku lw’omwezi ogw’ekkumi, oluvannyuma lw’emyaka kkumi n’ena ng’ekibuga kigudde, omukono gwa Mukama ne gunzikako ku lunaku olwo lwennyini, n’antwalayo.

2 In visions of God He took me to the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain, on whose southern slope was a structure that resembled a city.

Mu kwolesebwa, Katonda n’antwala mu nsi ya Isirayiri n’anteeka ku luuyi olw’Obukiikaddyo obw’olusozi oluwanvu ennyo okwali ebizimbe ebyali ng’ekibuga.

3 So He took me there, and I saw a man whose appearance was like bronze. He was standing in the gateway with a linen cord and a measuring rod in his hand.

N’antwala eyo, ne ndaba omusajja, ng’alabika ng’ayakolebwa mu kikomo, ng’ayimiridde mu mulyango ng’akutte omuguwa ogwa linena n’oluti olupima.

4 “Son of man,” he said to me, “look with your eyes, hear with your ears, and pay attention to everything I am going to show you, for that is why you have been brought here. Report to the house of Israel everything you see.”

Omusajja n’aŋŋamba nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, tunula n’amaaso go owulire n’amatu go osseeyo omwoyo ku buli kye nnaakulaga, kyovudde oleetebwa wano. Byonna by’onoolaba obitegeeze ennyumba ya Isirayiri.”

5 And I saw a wall surrounding the temple area. Now the length of the measuring rod in the man’s hand was six long cubits (each measuring a cubit and a handbreadth), and he measured the wall to be one rod thick and one rod high.

Ne ndaba bbugwe okwetooloola ekifo kya yeekaalu. Obuwanvu bw’oluti olupima olwali mu mukono gw’omusajja lwali emikono mukaaga, nga mita ssatu. Buli mukono gwali nga kitundu kya mita. N’apima bbugwe ng’omubiri gwayo mita ssatu, n’obugulumivu bwayo mita ssatu.

6 Then he came to the gate facing east and climbed its steps. He measured the threshold of the gate to be one rod deep.

Oluvannyuma n’alaga ku mulyango ogutunuulira Ebuvanjuba, n’alinnya amadaala n’apima omuziziko ogusooka ogw’omu mulyango, nga guli oluti lumu, ze mita ssatu.

7 Each gate chamber was one rod long and one rod wide, and there were five cubits between the gate chambers. The inner threshold of the gate by the portico facing inward was one rod deep.

N’obusenge obw’abakuumi bwali mita ssatu obuwanvu, n’obugazi mita ssatu, ng’ebbanga eryawula obusenge obwo liri mita bbiri n’ekitundu. Waaliwo n’omuziziko ogwokubiri. N’omuziziko ogwo gwali mita ssatu mu bugulumivu. Mu maaso g’omuziziko ogwo waaliwo ekisasi okutunuulira yeekaalu.

8 Then he measured the portico of the gateway inside;

Awo n’apima ekisasi eky’oku mulyango

9 it was eight cubits deep, and its jambs were two cubits thick. And the portico of the gateway faced the temple.

nga kiri mita nnya obugulumivu. Waaliwo empagi bbiri ku nsonda y’ekisasi, n’omubiri ogw’empagi ezo gwali mita emu. Ekisasi eky’oku mulyango kyayolekera yeekaalu.

10 There were three gate chambers on each side of the east gate, each with the same measurements, and the gateposts on either side also had the same measurements.

Munda mu mulyango ogw’Ebuvanjuba mwalimu obusenge obw’abakuumi busatu ku njuyi zombi, bw’onsatule nga bwenkanankana obunene, nga n’ebbanga wakati waabwo lyenkanankana obunene.

11 And he measured the width of the gateway entrance to be ten cubits, and its length was thirteen cubits.

N’apima obugazi obw’awayingirirwa mu mulyango nga buli mita ttaano n’obugulumivu bwawo nga buli mita mukaaga n’ekitundu.

12 In front of each gate chamber was a wall one cubit high, and the gate chambers were six cubits square.

Mu maaso ga buli kasenge waaliwo ekisenge obuwanvu kitundu kya mita, n’obusenge nga buli mita ssatu eruuyi ne mita ssatu eruuyi.

13 Then he measured the gateway from the roof of one gate chamber to the roof of the opposite one; the distance was twenty-five cubits from doorway to doorway.

N’oluvannyuma n’apima obugazi bw’akasolya ak’ekibangirizi okuva ku kasenge akamu okutuuka ku kakoolekedde; okuva ku ntikko y’empagi okutuuka ku y’empagi eyookubiri waali mita kkumi na bbiri n’ekitundu.

14 Next he measured the gateposts to be sixty cubits high. The gateway extended around to the gatepost of the courtyard.

Waaliwo embu bbiri ez’obusenge. N’apima ekibangirizi okuva ku kasenge akasooka ak’olubu olumu okutuuka ku kasenge akasembayo ak’olubu olwo. N’oluvannyuma n’apima n’ekibangirizi okuva ku kasenge akasooka ak’olubu olulala okutuuka ku kasenge akasembayo ak’olubu olwo olulala, wonna awamu n’afuna mita kkumi na ttaano buli lubu. Ekipimo ekyo tekitwaliramu kisasi.

15 And the distance from the entrance of the gateway to the far end of its inner portico was fifty cubits.

N’okuva ku bwenyi bw’omulyango awayingirirwa okutuuka ekisasi kyagwo we kikoma waali mita amakumi abiri mu ttaano.

16 The gate chambers and their side pillars had beveled windows all around the inside of the gateway. The porticos also had windows all around on the inside. Each side pillar was decorated with palm trees.

Era obusenge bwaliko amabanga amafunda okuva wansi okutuuka waggulu mu bisenge byabwo, okwetooloola obusenge bwonna; ate n’ekisasi nakyo kyalina amabanga agafaanagana nga gali ag’obusenge obw’abakuumi. Ku bisenge kwali kwoleddwako ebifaananyi eby’enkindu.

17 Then he brought me into the outer court, and there were chambers and a pavement laid out all around the court. Thirty chambers faced the pavement,

Awo omusajja n’andeeta mu luggya olw’ebweru; ne ndaba ebisenge ebimu n’olubalaza ebyazimbibwa, ebisenge ebyo ebyazimbibwa ku lubalaza mu bbugwe okwetooloola oluggya lwonna, byali amakumi asatu.

18 which flanked the gateways and corresponded to the length of the gates; this was the lower pavement.

Olubalaza lwakolebwa okwetooloola bbugwe. Obugazi bw’olubalaza lwali lwenkanankana n’obuwanvu bw’omulyango, era ng’olubalaza lwolekedde oluggya. Olubalaza olwo lwe luyitibwa olubalaza olwa wansi.

19 Then he measured the distance from the front of the lower gateway to the outside of the inner court; it was a hundred cubits on the east side as well as on the north.

N’oluvannyuma n’apima ekibangirizi okuva omulyango ogw’Ebuvanjuba we gukoma okutuuka ebweru ow’oluggya olw’omunda, ze mita amakumi ataano. Waaliwo n’omulyango ogw’Obukiikakkono. N’ekibangirizi okuva ku mulyango ogwo we gukoma okutuuka ebweru w’oluggya olw’omunda nakyo kyali mita amakumi ataano.

20 He also measured the length and width of the gateway of the outer court facing north.

Awo n’apima obuwanvu n’obugazi obw’omulyango ogw’Obukiikakkono ogufuluma mu luggya olw’ebweru.

21 Its three gate chambers on each side, its side pillars, and its portico all had the same measurements as the first gate: fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

Obusenge bwagwo obw’abakuumi, busatu oluuyi n’oluuyi, n’ebbanga wakati waabwo, n’ekisasi kyagwo, byalina ebipimo bye bimu ng’omulyango ogusooka. Omulyango ogwo gwali mita amakumi abiri mu ttaano obuwanvu, n’obugazi mita kkumi na bbiri n’ekitundu.

22 Its windows, portico, and palm trees had the same measurements as those of the gate facing east. Seven steps led up to it, with its portico opposite them.

Amabanga gaagwo amafunda, n’ekisasi kyagwo, n’ebifaananyi eby’enkindu ebyagwo byalina ebipimo bye bimu ng’eby’omulyango ogw’Ebuvanjuba. Amadaala musanvu ge galinnyibwanga okutuuka ku mulyango ogw’Obukiikakkono. Gwalina ekisasi ekyali ku nkomerero y’omulyango ogwo.

23 There was a gate to the inner court facing the north gate, just as there was on the east. He measured the distance from gateway to gateway to be a hundred cubits.

Waaliwo omulyango ogw’oluggya olw’omunda ogwatunuulira omulyango ogw’Obukiikakkono, nga ogwali Ebuvanjuba. N’apima okuva ku mulyango ogw’oluggya olw’omunda okutuuka ku mulyango ogw’Obukiikakkono mita amakumi ataano.

24 Then he led me to the south side, and I saw a gateway facing south. He measured its side pillars and portico, and they had the same measurements as the others.

Awo n’ankulembera n’antwala ku luuyi olw’Obukiikaddyo ne ndaba omulyango ogw’Obukiikaddyo, n’apima empagi zaagwo n’ekisasi kyagwo, ng’ebigera byabyo byenkanankana n’ebirala.

25 Both the gateway and its portico had windows all around, like the other windows. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

Omulyango n’ekisasi kyagwo byalina amabanga amafunda okwetooloola wonna, ng’amabanga ag’ebirala. Omulyango ogwo gwali mita amakumi abiri mu ttaano obuwanvu, ng’obugazi mita kkumi na bbiri n’ekitundu.

26 Seven steps led up to it, and its portico was opposite them; it had palm trees on its side pillars, one on each side.

Amadaala musanvu ge gaalinnyibwangako okugutuukako. Gwalina ekisasi ekyali ku nkomerero yaagwo. Gwaliko n’ebifaananyi eby’enkindu ebyayolebwa eruuyi n’eruuyi ku bisenge byagwo.

27 The inner court also had a gate facing south, and he measured the distance from gateway to gateway toward the south to be a hundred cubits.

Waaliwo n’omulyango ogw’oluggya olw’omunda ogwatunuulira omulyango ogw’Obukiikaddyo. N’apima okuva ku mulyango ogwo okutuuka ku mulyango ogw’Obukiikaddyo; zaali mita amakumi ataano.

28 Next he brought me into the inner court through the south gate, and he measured the south gate; it had the same measurements as the others.

Awo n’antwala mu luggya olw’omunda nga tuyita mu mulyango ogw’Obukiikaddyo ogw’oluggya olw’omunda, n’apima, nga gulina ebipimo bye bimu ng’emirala gyonna.

29 Its gate chambers, side pillars, and portico had the same measurements as the others. Both the gateway and its portico had windows all around; it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

Obusenge bwagwo obw’abakuumi, n’amabanga gaagwo, n’ekisasi kyagwo byalina ebipimo bye bimu ng’ebirala. Omulyango n’ekisasi kyagwo byalina amabanga amafunda okwetooloola, era gwali mita amakumi abiri mu ttaano obuwanvu, n’obugazi mita kkumi na bbiri n’ekitundu.

30 (The porticoes around the inner court were twenty-five cubits long and five cubits deep.)

Ebisasi eby’emiryango ebyetoolodde oluggya olw’omunda buli kimu kyali obugazi mita kkumi na bbiri n’ekitundu, n’obugulumivu mita bbiri n’ekitundu.

31 Its portico faced the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees. Eight steps led up to it.

Ekisasi kyagwo kyatunuulira oluggya olw’ebweru. Empagi zaakyo zaali zooleddwa n’ebifaananyi eby’enkindu. Amadaala munaana ge gaalinnyibwanga okutuuka ku kisasi eky’oku mulyango ogw’Obukiikaddyo ogw’oluggya olw’omunda.

32 And he brought me to the inner court on the east side, and he measured the gateway; it had the same measurements as the others.

Oluvannyuma n’antwala mu luggya olw’omunda ku mulyango ogw’Ebuvanjuba ogw’oluggya olw’omunda, n’apima omulyango ogwo, nga gulina ebipimo bye bimu ng’emirala.

33 Its gate chambers, side pillars, and portico had the same measurements as the others. Both the gateway and its portico had windows all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

Obusenge bwagwo n’amabanga gaagwo n’ekisasi kyagwo byalina ebipimo bye bimu ng’ebirala. Omulyango n’ekisasi byalina amabanga okwetooloola, era gwali mita amakumi abiri mu ttaano obuwanvu n’obugazi mita kkumi na bbiri n’ekitundu.

34 Its portico faced the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees on each side. Eight steps led up to it.

Ekisasi kyagwo kyatunuulira oluggya olw’ebweru. Empagi zaakyo zaali zooleddwa n’ebifaananyi eby’enkindu. Amadaala munaana ge gaalinnyibwanga okutuuka ku kisasi eky’oku mulyango ogw’Ebuvanjuba ogw’oluggya olw’omunda.

35 Then he brought me to the north gate and measured it. It had the same measurements as the others,

N’antwala ku mulyango ogw’Obukiikakkono ogw’oluggya olw’omunda n’alupima ng’ebipimo bye bimu ng’emiryango emirala.

36 as did its gate chambers, side pillars, and portico. It also had windows all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

Obusenge bwagwo obw’abakuumi n’amabanga gaagwo, n’ekisasi kyagwo byalina ebipimo bye bimu ng’ebirala. Omulyango n’ekisasi byalina amabanga okwetooloola, era gwali mita amakumi abiri mu ttaano obuwanvu, n’obugazi mita kkumi na bbiri n’ekitundu.

37 Its portico faced the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees on each side. Eight steps led up to it.

Ekisasi kyagwo kyatunuulira oluggya olw’ebweru. Empagi zaakyo zaali zooleddwa n’ebifaananyi eby’enkindu. Amadaala munaana ge gaalinnyibwanga okutuuka ku kisasi eky’oku mulyango ogw’Obukiikakkono ogw’oluggya olw’omunda.

38 There was a chamber with a doorway by the portico in each of the inner gateways. There the burnt offering was to be washed.

Waaliwo ekisenge n’oluggi lwakyo ekyaliraana ekisasi ku buli mulyango ogw’oluggya olw’omunda. Omwo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa mwe byayozebwanga.

39 Inside the portico of the gateway were two tables on each side, on which the burnt offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings were to be slaughtered.

Mu kisasi eky’emiryango mwalimu emmeeza bbiri oluuyi olumu n’endala bbiri oluuyi olulala kwe battiranga ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa, n’ebiweebwayo olw’ebibi, n’ebiweebwayo olw’omusango.

40 Outside, as one goes up to the entrance of the north gateway, there were two tables on one side and two more tables on the other side of the gate’s portico.

Era ebweru w’ekisasi ku mulyango, okumpi n’amadaala awayingirirwa ku mulyango oguli mu bukiikakkono waaliwo emmeeza bbiri ne ku luuyi olulala olw’amadaala waliwo emmeza bbiri.

41 So there were four tables inside the gateway and four outside—eight tables in all—on which the sacrifices were to be slaughtered.

Ne kitegeeza nga waaliwo emmeeza nnya ku luuyi olumu olw’omunda, n’emmeeza endala nnya ku luuyi olulala ng’oyimiridde mu mulyango, awamu z’emmeeza munaana, kwe battiranga ssaddaaka.

42 There were also four tables of dressed stone for the burnt offering, each a cubit and a half long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit high. On these were placed the utensils used to slaughter the burnt offerings and the other sacrifices.

Era waaliwo n’emmeeza endala nnya ez’amayinja amateme ez’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa, buli emu yali desimoolo nsanvu mu ttaano eza mita obuwanvu, obugazi desimoolo nsanvu mu ttaano eza mita n’obugulumivu kitundu kya mita. Okwo kwe baateekanga ebiso ebibaaga ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’ebiweebwayo ebirala.

43 The double-pronged hooks, each a handbreadth long, were fastened all around the inside of the room, and the flesh of the offering was to be placed on the tables.

Era waaliwo n’ewuuma ez’engalo bbiri, obuwanvu bwazo sentimita mwenda, ezaawanikibwa ku bisenge okwetooloola. Ku mmeeza kwe baatekanga ennyama ey’ebiweebwayo.

44 Outside the inner gate, within the inner court, were two chambers, one beside the north gate and facing south, and another beside the south gate and facing north.

Mu luggya olw’omunda waaliyo ebisenge bibiri eby’abayimbi, ekimu ku luuyi olw’omulyango ogw’Obukiikakkono ekyolekera Obukiikaddyo, n’ekirala ku luuyi olw’omulyango ogw’Obukiikaddyo okutunuulira Obukiikakkono.

45 Then the man said to me: “The chamber that faces south is for the priests who keep charge of the temple,

N’aŋŋamba nti, “Ekisenge ekyolekera Obukiikaddyo, kya bakabona abavunaanyizibwa yeekaalu,

46 and the chamber that faces north is for the priests who keep charge of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, the only Levites who may approach the LORD to minister before Him.”

n’ekisenge ekyolekera Obukiikakkono kya bakabona abavunaanyizibwa ekyoto. Abo be batabani ba Zadooki, era be Baleevi bokka abasobola okusemberera Mukama okumuweereza.”

47 Next he measured the court. It was square, a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide. And the altar was in front of the temple.

N’apima oluggya, nga luli mita amakumi ataano obuwanvu, n’obugazi mita amakumi ataano, nga kya nsonda nnya ezenkanankana, n’ekyoto kyali mu maaso ga yeekaalu.

48 Then he brought me to the portico of the temple and measured the side pillars of the portico to be five cubits on each side. The width of the gateway was fourteen cubits and its sidewalls were three cubits on either side.

N’antwala ku kisasi kya yeekaalu n’apima empagi ez’ekisasi ezaali eruuyi n’eruuyi olw’ekisasi. Ne ndaba nga ku mukono ogwa ddyo empagi emu epima mita bbiri n’ekitundu ku luuyi olw’ebweru ate ng’empagi eyookubiri ku mukono ogwa kkono erina ebipimo ebyenkanankana na luli. Oluuyi olw’omunda olw’empagi emu lwapima mita emu n’ekitundu, n’oluuyi olw’omunda olw’empagi eyookubiri nga nalwo lupima mita emu n’ekitundu. Okuva ku mpagi we zitandikira okutuuka ku mulyango gwa yeekaalu waali mita musanvu, ekitegeeza nti ekisasi kyali mita musanvu obuwanvu.

49 The portico was twenty cubits wide and twelve cubits deep, and ten steps led up to it. There were columns by the side pillars, one on each side.

Obugazi bw’omulyango ng’otaddeko n’empagi ez’enjuuyi zombi bwali mita kkumi. Okuva ku mpagi okutuuka ku mulyango gwa yeekaalu waali mita ttaano n’ekitundu. Amadaala kkumi ge gaalinnyibwanga okutuuka ku kisasi. Waaliwo n’empagi endala bbiri eruuyi n’eruuyi ezaaliraana empagi eziwanirira ekisasi.
