Ezekiel 42
1 Then the man led me out northward into the outer court, and he brought me to the group of chambers opposite the temple courtyard and the outer wall on the north side.
Awo omusajja n’ankulemberamu n’antwala mu luggya ebweru ku luuyi olw’Obukiikakkono, n’antwala mu bisenge eby’ekizimbe ekyayolekera oluggya lwa yeekaalu era ekyayolekera bbugwe ku luuyi olw’Obukiikakkono.
2 The building with the door facing north was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide.
Ekizimbe ekyo ekyaliko omuzigo ogwolekedde Obukiikakkono, kyali mita amakumi ataano obuwanvu, n’obugazi mita amakumi abiri mu ttaano.
3 Gallery faced gallery in three levels opposite the twenty cubits that belonged to the inner court and opposite the pavement that belonged to the outer court.
Ekizimbe ekyo kyalina ennyumba bbiri. Ennyumba emu yali eyolekera oluggya olw’omunda oluli mita kkumi obugazi. Ennyumba endala n’eyolekera oluggya olw’ebweru. Ennyumba zombi zazimbibwa nga za kalina ssatu, nga zoolekaganye.
4 In front of the chambers was an inner walkway ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long. Their doors were on the north.
Wakati w’ennyumba ezo ebbiri, waaliwo olukuubo mita ttaano obugazi, n’obuwanvu mita amakumi ataano. Enzigi ez’ennyumba eyolekera oluggya olw’omunda zaayolekera Obukiikakkono.
5 Now the upper chambers were smaller because the galleries took more space from the chambers on the lower and middle floors of the building.
Ebisenge ebya waggulu byali bifunda okusinga ebibiri wansi, kubanga olubalaza olwa waggulu lwatwala ekifo kinene okusinga ku myaliiro egya wansi n’egya wakati mu kizimbe.
6 For they were arranged in three stories, and unlike the courts, they had no pillars. So the upper chambers were set back further than the lower and middle floors.
Oluggya lwalina empagi naye ebisenge ebyali ku mwaliiro ogwokusatu tebyalimu mpagi, noolwekyo byali bitono okusinga ebyali ku mwaliiro ogwa wansi ne ku mwaliiro ogwa wakati.
7 An outer wall in front of the chambers was fifty cubits long and ran parallel to the chambers and the outer court.
Waaliwo ekisenge eky’ebweru ekyali kigatta ennyumba zombi ez’ekizimbe, obuwanvu mita amakumi abiri mu ttaano.
8 For the chambers on the outer court were fifty cubits long, while those facing the temple were a hundred cubits long.
Olubu lw’ebisenge olw’ennyumba eri ku luuyi oluliraanye oluggya olw’ebweru obuwanvu bwali mita amakumi abiri mu ttaano, ate n’olubu lw’ebisenge olw’ennyumba ku luuyi olusinga okuliraana yeekaalu obuwanvu bwali mita amakumi ataano.
9 And below these chambers was the entrance on the east side as one enters them from the outer court.
Ebisenge ebya wansi byaliko omulyango ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba ogufuluma mu luggya olw’ebweru.
10 On the south side along the length of the wall of the outer court were chambers adjoining the courtyard and opposite the building,
Ku luuyi olw’Obukiikaddyo obwa yeekaalu, waliwo ekizimbe ekyalina ennyumba bbiri ezaali wakati w’oluggya olwa yeekaalu, ne bbugwe.
11 with a passageway in front of them, just like the chambers that were on the north. They had the same length and width, with similar exits and dimensions.
Waaliwo olukuubo wakati w’ennyumba zombi. Zaafaanana ng’ennyumba ez’oku luuyi olw’Obukiikakkono, ng’obuwanvu n’obugazi bwazo, n’emiryango nga bya bipimo ebyenkanankana n’eby’Obukiikakkono.
12 And corresponding to the doors of the chambers that were facing south, there was a door in front of the walkway that was parallel to the wall extending eastward.
Emiryango gy’ebisenge eby’Obukiikaddyo gyali gifaanana n’emiryango gy’ebisenge eby’Obukiikakkono. Ekizimbe kyaliko omuzigo ogwolekedde Obukiikaddyo, nga bw’oguyingiriramu oyolekera emiryango gy’ennyumba ennene ey’ekizimbe. Waaliwo omulyango omulala ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba olukuubo lw’ekizimbe eky’ennyumba zombi we lukoma.
13 Then the man said to me, “The north and south chambers facing the temple courtyard are the holy chambers where the priests who approach the LORD will eat the most holy offerings. There they will place the most holy offerings—the grain offerings, the sin offerings, and the guilt offerings—for the place is holy.
Awo n’aŋŋamba nti, “Ebisenge eby’ennyumba eyolekedde yeekaalu eby’omu Bukiikakkono n’eby’ennyumba eyolekedde yeekaalu eby’omu Bukiikaddyo, by’ebisenge bya bakabona. Bakabona abaweereza mu maaso ga Mukama gye banaaliiranga ebintu ebitukuvu ennyo; era eyo gye banaatekanga ebiweebwayo ebitukuvu ennyo, n’ekiweebwayo eky’obutta n’ebiweebwayo olw’ekibi, n’ebiweebwayo olw’omusango, kubanga ekifo kitukuvu.
14 Once the priests have entered the holy area, they must not go out into the outer court until they have left behind the garments in which they minister, for these are holy. They are to put on other clothes before they approach the places that are for the people.”
Bakabona bwe bayingirangamu, tebaafulumenga kulaga mu luggya olw’ebweru, okuggyako nga baggyemu ebyambalo eby’obuweereza bwabwe, kubanga byambalo bitukuvu. Banaayambalanga ebyambalo ebirala, ne balyoka basemberera ebifo awali abantu.”
15 Now when the man had finished measuring the interior of the temple area, he led me out by the gate that faced east, and he measured the area all around:
Bwe yamala okupima munda wa yeekaalu, n’ankulembera n’ampisa mu mulyango ogw’Ebuvanjuba, n’apima ekitundu ekyetoolodde wonna.
16 With a measuring rod he measured the east side to be five hundred cubits long.
N’apima oluuyi olw’ebuvanjuba n’oluti olugera, nga luli mita ebikumi bibiri mu ataano.
17 He measured the north side to be five hundred cubits long.
N’apima oluuyi olw’Obukiikakkono nga luli mita ebikumi bibiri mu ataano.
18 He measured the south side to be five hundred cubits long.
N’oluvannyuma n’apima oluuyi olw’Obukiikaddyo nga luli mita ebikumi bibiri mu ataano.
19 And he came around and measured the west side to be five hundred cubits long.
N’oluvannyuma n’akyuka n’apima oluuyi olw’ebugwanjuba, nga luli mita ebikumi bibiri mu ataano.
20 So he measured the area on all four sides. It had a wall all around, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits wide, to separate the holy from the common.
N’apima enjuuyi ennya zonna. Yeekaalu yalina bbugwe okugyebungulula, mita ebikumi bibiri mu ataano obuwanvu, n’obugazi mita ebikumi bibiri mu ataano, nga kye kyawula awatukuvu n’awabulijjo.
