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.
Tamin’ ny taona fahadimy amby roa-polo taorian’ ny namaboana antsika, tamin’ ny niandohan’ ny taona, dia tamin’ ny andro fahafolo tamin’ ny volana, tamin’ ny taona fahefatra ambin’ ny folo taorian’ ny namelezana ny tanàna, tamin’ izany andro izany dia tamiko ny tànan’ i Jehovah, ka nitondra ahy ho any Izy.
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.
Fahitana avy amin’ Andriamanitra no nitondrany ahy ho any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely, ka napetrany teo an-tendrombohitra avo dia avo aho, ary nisy nitarehin-tanàna teo amin’ ny ilany atsimo.
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.
Dia nentiny nankao aho, ka, indro, nisy lehilahy izay nitarehim-barahina, nitondra tady rongony teny an-tànany sy volotara fandrefesana, ary nitsangana teo am-bavahady izy.
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.”
Dia hoy ralehilahy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, mijere amin’ ny masonao, ary mihainoa amin’ ny sofinao, ary aoka ny fonao handinika izay rehetra hasehoko anao; fa ny hanehoako anao izao no nitondrana anao eto. Ambarao amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely izay rehetra hitanao.
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.
Ary, indro, nisy ampiantany vato manodidina teny ivelan’ ny trano, ary eny an-tanan-dralehilahy nisy volotara fandrefesana, enina hakiho ny halavany, kanefa isaky ny hakiho iray dia nihoatra vodivoam-pelatanana noho ny fanao; ka dia norefesiny ny hatevin’ ny ampiantany, ka eran’ ny volotara, ary ny hahavony dia eran’ ny volotara koa.
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.
Dia tonga teo amin’ ny vavahady manatrita ny atsinanana izy ka niakatra tamin’ ny ambaratongany dia nandrefy ny tokonam-bavahady, ka eran’ ny volotara ny sakany, dia ny tokonana voalohany izany, ka eran’ ny volotara ny sakany.
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.
Ary ny trano fiambenana, dia eran’ ny volotara ny lavany, ary eran’ ny volotara koa ny sakany; ary ny elanelan’ ny trano fiambenana dia dimy hakiho; ary ny tokonam-bavahady eo anilan’ ny lavarangan’ ny vavahady anatiny dia eran’ ny volotara.
8 Then he measured the portico of the gateway inside;
Dia norefesiny koa ny lavarangan’ ny vavahady, ka eran’ ny volotara koa.
9 it was eight cubits deep, and its jambs were two cubits thick. And the portico of the gateway faced the temple.
Ary norefesiny ny lavarangan’ ny vavahady, ka valo hakiho; ary ny tongo-batony dia roa hakiho; ary ny lavarangan’ ny vavahady dia teo anatiny.
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.
Ary ny trano fiambenana teo amin’ ny vavahady atsinanana dia telo avy no teo an-daniny; mitovy ohatra izy telo, ary mitovy ohatra koa ny tongo-bato teo amin’ ny lafiny roa.
11 And he measured the width of the gateway entrance to be ten cubits, and its length was thirteen cubits.
Ary norefesiny koa ny haben’ ny vavahady, ka folo hakiho; ary ny lavan’ ny vavahady dia telo ambin’ ny folo hakiho.
12 In front of each gate chamber was a wall one cubit high, and the gate chambers were six cubits square.
Ary nisy nifefy teo anoloan’ ny trano fiambenana, ka iray hakiho avy no teo an-daniny roa; ary ny trano fiambenana, dia enina hakiho ny tamin’ ny lafiny iray, ary enina hakiho koa ny tamin’ ny lafiny iray.
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.
Dia norefesiny koa ny vavahady hatramin’ ny tafon’ ny trano fiambenana iray ka hatramin’ ny tafon’ ny iray koa, ka dimy amby roa-polo hakiho ny sakany, ary mifanatrika ny varavarana.
14 Next he measured the gateposts to be sixty cubits high. The gateway extended around to the gatepost of the courtyard.
Ary ny tongo-bato dia noheveriny ho enim-polo hakiho, ary nihatra tamin’ ny tongo-bato ny kianja manodidina ny vavahady.
15 And the distance from the entrance of the gateway to the far end of its inner portico was fifty cubits.
Ary hatreo anoloan’ ny vavahady fidirana ka hatreo anoloan’ ny lavarangan’ ny vavahady anatiny dia dimam-polo hakiho.
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.
Ary nisy varavarankely makarakara tsy mivoha manodidina, na ao amin’ ny trano fiambenana, na amin’ ny tongo-bato ao anatin’ ny vavahady; ary toy izany koa amin’ ny tohany; ary ny ao anatiny dia nisy varavarankely manodidina; ary teo amin’ ny tongo-bato rehetra dia samy nisy sarin’ ny hazo rofia avokoa.
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,
Dia nentiny ho any amin’ ny kianja ivelany aho, ary, indro, nisy efi-trano madinika sy lampivato teny amin’ ny kianja manodidina: nisy efi-trano telo-polo teny amin’ ny lampivato.
18 which flanked the gateways and corresponded to the length of the gates; this was the lower pavement.
Ary ny lampivato dia teo anilan’ ny vavahady, sady nifanerana tamin’ ny lavan’ ny vavahady: lampivato ambany io.
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.
Dia norefesiny koa ny sakany hatreo anoloan’ ny vavahady ambany ka hatreo anoloan’ ny kianja anatiny, dia hatreo amin’ ny ivelany, ka zato hakiho, dia teo atsinanana sy teo avaratra.
20 He also measured the length and width of the gateway of the outer court facing north.
An norefesiny koa ny lavany sy ny sakan’ ny vavahadin’ ny kianja ivelany, izay nanatrika ny avaratra.
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.
Ary ny trano fiambenany dia telo avy no teo an-daniny; ary ny tongo-batony sy ny tohany dia nitovy ohatra tamin’ ny vavahady voalohany, ka dimam-polo hakiho ny lavany, ary dimy amby roa-polo hakiho ny sakany.
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.
Ary ny varavarankeliny sy ny tohany an ny sarin’ ny hazo rofia taminy dia nitovy ohatra tamin’ ny ireo amin’ ny vavahady atsinanana, ary nisy ambaratonga fito ho fiakarana ao; ary ny tohany dia tandrifin’ ireo.
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.
Ary nisy vavahadin’ ny kianja anatiny, tandrifin’ ny vavahady fidirana manatrika ny avaratra sy ny atsinanana; ka dia norefesiny hatramin’ ny vavahady anankiray ka hatramin’ ny anankiray, ka zato hakiho.
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.
Dia nentiny nianatsimo aho, ka, indro, nisy vavahady teo atsimo; ka norefesiny ny tongo-batony sy ny tohany, ka araka ireo ohatra ireo ihany koa.
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.
Ary nisy varavarankely teo aminy sy teo amin’ ny tohany manodidina, dia tahaka ireo varavarankely ireo ihany koa, ka dimam-polo hakiho ny lavany, ary dimy amby roa-polo hakiho ny sakany.
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.
Ary nisy ambaratonga fito ho fiakarana ao, ary ny tohany dia tandrifin’ ireo; ary nisy sarin’ ny hazo rofia iray tamin’ ny lafiny iray, ary iray koa tamin’ ny lafiny iray teo amin’ ny tongo-batony.
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.
Ary nisy vavahady fidirana amin’ ny kianja anatiny teo atsimo, dia norefesiny teo atsimo hatramin’ ny vavahady anankiray ka hatramin’ ny anankiray, ka zato hakiho koa.
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.
Ary nentiny niditra tamin’ ny vavahady atsimo ho any amin’ ny kianja anatiny aho; dia norefesiny ny vavahady atsimo, ka araka ireo ohatra ireo ihany koa;
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.
ary ny trano fiambenany sy ny tongo-batony ary ny tohany dia araka ireo ohatra ireo ihany koa; ary nisy varavarankely teo aminy sy teo amin’ ny tohany manodidina, dimam-polo hakiho ny lavany, ary dimy amby roa-polo hakiho ny sakany.
30 (The porticoes around the inner court were twenty-five cubits long and five cubits deep.)
Ary nisy tohany manodidina, dia dimy amby roa-polo hakiho ny lavany, ary dimy hakiho ny sakany.
31 Its portico faced the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees. Eight steps led up to it.
Ary ny tohany dia nanatrika ny kianja ivelany; ary nisy sarin’ ny hazo rofia teo amin’ ny tongo-batony, ary nisy ambaratonga valo ho fiakarana ao.
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.
Dia nentiny niantsinanana aho ho any amin’ ny kianja anatiny, dia norefesiny ny vavahady, ka araka ireo ohatra ireo ihany koa.
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.
Ary ny trano fiambenany sy ny tongo-batony ary ny tohany dia araka ireo ohatra ireo ihany koa; ary nisy varavarankely teo aminy sy teo amin’ ny tohany manodidina, dimam-polo hakiho ny lavany, ary dimy amby-roa-polo hakiho ny sakany.
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.
Ary nanatrika ny kianja ivelany ny tohany; ary nisy sarin’ ny hazo rofia teo amin’ ny tongo-batony an-daniny roa, ary nisy ambaratonga valo ho fiakarana ao.
35 Then he brought me to the north gate and measured it. It had the same measurements as the others,
Ary nentiny ho any amin’ ny vavahady avaratra aho, dia norefesiny, ka araka ireo ohatra ireo ihany koa,
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.
ary ny trano fiambenany sy ny tongo-batony ary ny tohany, ary nisy varavarankely teo aminy manodidina, dia dimam-polo hakiho ny lavany, ary dimy amby roa-polo hakiho ny sakany.
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.
Ary nanatrika ny kianja ivelany ny tongo-batony; nisy sarin’ ny hazo rofia teo amin’ ny tongo-batony an-daniny roa; ary ambaratonga valo no fiakarana ao.
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.
Ary nisy efi-trano misy varavarana teo anilan’ ny tongo-bato teo am-bavahady, izay nanakobahany ny fanatitra dorana.
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.
Ary teo amin’ ny lavarangan’ ny vavahady dia nisy latabatra roa avy tamin’ ny lafiny roa hamonoana ny fanatitra dorana sy ny fanatitra noho ny ota ary ny fanati-panonerana.
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.
Ary teo anilany eo ivelany amin’ ny fiakarana hiditra eo amin’ ny vavahady avaratra dia nisy latabatra roa, ary teo anilany anankiray koa teo amin’ ny lavarangan’ ny vavahady, dia nisy latabatra roa koa.
41 So there were four tables inside the gateway and four outside—eight tables in all—on which the sacrifices were to be slaughtered.
Nisy latabatra efatra teo amin’ ny ilany iray amin’ ny vavahady ary latabatra efatra koa teo amin’ ny ilany iray, dia latabatra valo izay famonoana.
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.
Ary nisy latabatra efatra natao tamin’ ny vato voapaika ho amin’ ny fanatitra dorana, iray hakiho sy sasany ny lavany, ary iray hakiho sy sasany koa ny sakany, ary iray hakiho ny hahavony; teo no nametrahany ny zavatra famonoana ny fanatitra dorana sy ny fanatitra hafa.
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.
Ary nisy fihantonana roa rantsana, vodivoam-pelatanana ny halavany, naorina manodidina eny amin’ ny rindrina; ary natao teo ambonin’ ny latabatra ny hena fanatitra.
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.
Ary teo ivelan’ ny vavahady anatiny, teo anilan’ ny vavahady avaratra ka manatrika ny atsimo, dia nisy ireo efi-trano ho an’ ny mpihira teo amin’ ny kianja anatiny, ary nisy iray koa teo anilan’ ny vavahady atsinanana ka nanatrika ny avaratra.
45 Then the man said to me: “The chamber that faces south is for the priests who keep charge of the temple,
Ary hoy izy tamiko: Ity efi-trano manatrika ny atsimo ity dia ho an’ ny mpisorona izay mitandrina ny anjara-raharahany amin’ ny trano.
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.”
Ary ny efi-trano manatrika ny avaratra kosa dia ho an’ ny mpisorona izay mitandrina ny anjara-raharaha ny amin’ ny alitara, ireo dia taranak’ i Zadoka, izay isan’ ny taranak’ i Levy, ka manatona an’ i Jehovah hanao fanompoam-pivavahana ho Azy.
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.
Dia norefesiny ny kianja, ka zato hakiho ny lavany, ary zato hakiho koa ny sakany, dia efa-joro sokera izy; ary ny alitara dia teo anoloan’ ny trano.
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.
Ary nentiny ho any amin’ ny lavarangan’ ny trano aho, dia norefesiny ny tongo-batony amin’ ny lavarangana fidirana, ka dimy hakiho ny tamin’ ny lafiny iray, ary dimy hakiho koa ny tamin’ ny lafiny iray, ary ny sakan’ ny vavahady dia telo hakiho ny tamin’ ny lafiny iray, ary telo hakiho koa ny tamin’ ny lafiny iray.
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.
Roa-polo hakiho ny lavan’ ny lavarangana fidirana, ary iraika ambin’ ny folo hakiho ny satany; ary ambaratonga no fiakarana ao; ary nisy tongo-bato teo anilan’ ny tolana, iray tamin’ ny lafiny iray, ary iray tamin’ ny lafiny iray koa.
