< Ezekiel 43 >
1 Then the man brought me back to the gate that faces east,
Ningĩ mũndũ ũcio akĩnginyia kĩhingo-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩangʼetheire mwena wa irathĩro,
2 and I saw the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east. His voice was like the roar of many waters, and the earth shone with His glory.
na niĩ ngĩona riiri wa Ngai wa Isiraeli ũgĩũka uumĩte mwena wa irathĩro. Mũgambo wake watariĩ ta mũrurumo wa maaĩ maingĩ magĩtherera, naguo bũrũri ũgacangarara nĩ riiri wake.
3 The vision I saw was like the vision I had seen when He came to destroy the city and like the visions I had seen by the River Kebar. I fell facedown,
Kĩoneki kĩu ndonire gĩatariĩ ta kĩoneki kĩrĩa ndoonete rĩrĩa ookĩte kwananga itũũra rĩrĩa inene, na ningĩ gĩatariĩ ta cioneki iria ndoonete hau Rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Kebari; na niĩ ngĩĩgũithia, ngĩturumithia ũthiũ thĩ.
4 and the glory of the LORD entered the temple through the gate facing east.
Naguo riiri wa Jehova ũgĩtoonya hekarũ ũgereire kĩhingo kĩrĩa kĩerekeire mwena wa irathĩro.
5 Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple.
Ningĩ Roho akĩnjoya na igũrũ akĩndwara nja ĩyo ya na thĩinĩ, naguo riiri wa Jehova ũkĩiyũra kũu hekarũ.
6 While the man was standing beside me, I heard someone speaking to me from inside the temple,
Mũndũ ũcio o arũgamĩte hau hakuhĩ na niĩ-rĩ, ngĩigua mũndũ akĩnjarĩria kuuma thĩinĩ wa hekarũ.
7 and He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place for the soles of My feet, where I will dwell among the Israelites forever. The house of Israel will never again defile My holy name—neither they nor their kings—by their prostitution and by the funeral offerings for their kings at their deaths.
Akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, haha nĩho handũ ha gĩtĩ gĩakwa gĩa ũthamaki, o na nĩho handũ ha gũkinyithia makinya makwa. Haha nĩho ngũtũũra ndĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ a Isiraeli nginya tene. Nyũmba ya Isiraeli ndĩrĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ ĩgaacooka gũthaahia rĩĩtwa rĩakwa itheru, o ene o na kana athamaki ao marĩthaahie na ũndũ wa ũmaraya wao na kũhooya mĩhianano ĩtarĩ muoyo ya athamaki ao kũndũ kwao kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru.
8 When they placed their threshold next to My threshold and their doorposts beside My doorposts, with only a wall between Me and them, they defiled My holy name by the abominations they committed. Therefore I have consumed them in My anger.
Rĩrĩa meekĩrire hingĩro ciao hau hingĩro-inĩ ciakwa, na itugĩ cia mĩrango yao magĩciĩkĩra itugĩ-inĩ cia mĩrango yakwa, na no rũthingo rwarĩ gatagatĩ gakwa na o-rĩ, nĩmathaahirie rĩĩtwa rĩakwa itheru na mĩtugo ĩyo yao ĩrĩ magigi. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩmaniina ndĩ na marakara.
9 Now let them remove far from Me their prostitution and the funeral offerings for their kings, and I will dwell among them forever.
Na rĩrĩ, ta nĩmatigane na ũmaraya wao wa kũhooya mĩhianano ĩtarĩ muoyo ya athamaki ao, na niĩ nĩngũtũũra gatagatĩ-inĩ kao nginya tene.
10 As for you, son of man, describe the temple to the people of Israel, so that they may be ashamed of their iniquities. Let them measure the plan,
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, taarĩria ũhoro wa hekarũ ĩyo kũrĩ andũ a Isiraeli, nĩguo maconoke nĩ ũndũ wa mehia mao. Reke maroranie mũcoro ũcio wayo,
11 and if they are ashamed of all they have done, then make known to them the design of the temple—its arrangement and its exits and entrances—its whole design along with all its statutes, forms, and laws. Write it down in their sight, so that they may keep its complete design and all its statutes and may carry them out.
na angĩkorwo nĩmegũconoka nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa wothe mekĩte-rĩ, mamenyithie mũhianĩre wa hekarũ ĩyo, ũmamenyithie mũthondekere wayo, na nyumĩro ciayo, na matoonyero mayo, ningĩ ũmoonie mũhianĩre wayo wothe, na mĩtugo yayo yothe ya kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na mawatho mothe. Andĩka maũndũ maya mothe makĩonaga, nĩgeetha matĩĩe mũhianĩre wayo, na mahingie mĩtugo yayo yothe ya kũrũmĩrĩrwo.
12 This is the law of the temple: All its surrounding territory on top of the mountain will be most holy. Yes, this is the law of the temple.
“Ũyũ nĩguo watho wa hekarũ: Kũrĩa guothe kũrigiicĩirie kĩrĩma gĩkĩ igũrũ gũgũikara kũrĩ gũtheru mũno. Ũcio nĩguo watho wa hekarũ.
13 These are the measurements of the altar in long cubits (a cubit and a handbreadth): Its gutter shall be a cubit deep and a cubit wide, with a rim of one span around its edge. And this is the height of the altar:
“Ici nĩcio ithimo cia kĩgongona, ithimĩtwo na mĩkono ĩrĩa mĩraihu, mũkono ũrĩa wa ũraihu wa mũkono ũmwe na wariĩ wa rũhĩ: Mũberethi wakĩo ũrĩ na ũriku wa mũkono ũmwe, na wariĩ wa mũkono ũmwe, naguo mũgũkũ ũrĩa ũkũrigiicĩirie nĩ wa irata rĩmwe mũthia-inĩ. Kĩu nĩkĩo kĩrũgamo gĩa kĩgongona.
14 The space from the gutter on the ground to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the ledge one cubit wide. The space from the smaller ledge to the larger ledge shall be four cubits, and the ledge one cubit wide.
Kuuma mũberethi ũrĩa ũrĩ gĩtina-inĩ nginya mũthia-inĩ wa mũhuro kĩrĩ na mĩkono ĩĩrĩ kũraiha na igũrũ, na wariĩ wa mũkono ũmwe, na kuuma mũthia-inĩ ũrĩa mũnini nginya mũthia-inĩ ũrĩa mũnenanene, kĩrĩ na mĩkono ĩna kũraiha na igũrũ, na wariĩ wa mũkono ũmwe.
15 The altar hearth shall be four cubits high, and four horns shall project upward from the hearth.
Narĩo riiko rĩa kĩgongona-rĩ, nĩ mĩkono ĩna kũraiha na igũrũ, nacio hĩa inya irorete na igũrũ ikoimĩrĩra kuuma hau riiko-inĩ.
16 The altar hearth shall be square at its four corners, twelve cubits long and twelve cubits wide.
Narĩo riiko rĩu rĩa kĩgongona rĩiganaine mĩena yothe ĩna, rĩrĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ, na wariĩ wa mĩkono ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ.
17 The ledge shall also be square, fourteen cubits long and fourteen cubits wide, with a rim of half a cubit and a gutter of a cubit all around it. The steps of the altar shall face east.”
Mũthia ũrĩa ũrĩ na igũrũ o naguo nĩũiganaine mĩena yothe, na ũrĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono ikũmi na ĩna, na wariĩ wa mĩkono ikũmi na ĩna, naguo mũgũkũ ũrĩa ũũthiũrũrũkĩirie nĩ wa nuthu ya mũkono, ningĩ ũkarigiicĩrio nĩ mũberethi wa mũkono ũmwe. Ngathĩ cia kĩgongona kĩu ingʼetheire mwena wa irathĩro.”
18 Then He said to me: “Son of man, this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘These are the statutes for the altar on the day it is constructed, so that burnt offerings may be sacrificed on it and blood may be sprinkled on it:
Nake akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Maya nĩmo magaatuĩka maũndũ ma kũrũmĩrĩrwo gũkĩrutwo magongona ma njino, na ma kũminjaminjĩria thakame kĩgongona-inĩ rĩrĩa gĩgaakwo:
19 You are to give a young bull from the herd as a sin offering to the Levitical priests who are of the family of Zadok, who approach Me to minister before Me, declares the Lord GOD.
Nĩũkaneana ndegwa ĩtarĩ ngũrũ ĩtuĩke ya kũrutwo iruta rĩa mehia, ũmĩneane kũrĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai, arĩa Alawii, a nyũmba ya Zadoku, arĩa manguhagĩrĩria makĩndungatĩra, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
20 You are to take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar, on the four corners of the ledge, and all around the rim; thus you will cleanse the altar and make atonement for it.
Nĩũkooya thakame ĩmwe ya yo ũmĩhake hĩa-inĩ icio inya cia kĩgongona, na mĩthia-inĩ ĩyo ĩna ya metha ĩyo ĩrĩ igũrũ, na ũthiũrũrũkĩrie mũgũkũ ũcio, nĩguo ũtherie kĩgongona na ũkĩhoroherie.
21 Then you are to take away the bull for the sin offering and burn it in the appointed part of the temple area outside the sanctuary.
Nĩũkooya ndegwa ĩyo ya kũrutwo iruta rĩa mehia, ũmĩcinĩre handũ harĩa hathuurĩtwo hekarũ-inĩ kũu nja ya handũ-harĩa-haamũre.
22 On the second day you are to present an unblemished male goat as a sin offering, and the altar is to be cleansed as it was with the bull.
“Mũthenya wa keerĩ nĩũkaruta thenge ĩtarĩ na kaũũgũ, ĩtuĩke ya kũrutwo iruta rĩa mehia, nakĩo kĩgongona gĩtherio o ta ũrĩa gĩatheretio na ndegwa.
23 When you have finished the purification, you are to present a young, unblemished bull and an unblemished ram from the flock.
Warĩkia gũgĩtheria, nĩũkaruta ndegwa ĩtarĩ ngũrũ, na ndũrũme kuuma rũũru-inĩ, cierĩ ikorwo itarĩ na kaũũgũ.
24 You must present them before the LORD; the priests are to sprinkle salt on them and sacrifice them as a burnt offering to the LORD.
Nĩũgaciruta igongona hau mbere ya Jehova, nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩmagaciminjaminjĩria cumbĩ, rĩtuĩke igongona rĩa njino rĩrutĩirwo Jehova.
25 For seven days you are to provide a male goat daily for a sin offering; you are also to provide a young bull and a ram from the flock, both unblemished.
“Ihinda rĩa mĩthenya mũgwanja nĩũkarutaga thenge o mũthenya ya kũrutwo iruta rĩa mehia; na ningĩ nĩũkaruta ndegwa ĩtarĩ ngũrũ, na ndũrũme kuuma rũũru-inĩ, cierĩ ikorwo itarĩ na kaũũgũ.
26 For seven days the priests are to make atonement for the altar and cleanse it; so they shall consecrate it.
Ihinda rĩa mĩthenya ĩyo mũgwanja, nĩmakahoroheria kĩgongona na magĩtherie; ũguo nĩguo magaakĩamũra.
27 At the end of these days, from the eighth day on, the priests are to present your burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar. Then I will accept you, declares the Lord GOD.’”
Mĩthenya ĩyo yarĩkia gũthira, kuuma mũthenya wa ĩnana gũthiĩ na mbere, athĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩo makaaheana maruta manyu ma njino, na maruta ma ũiguano, hau igũrũ rĩa kĩgongona. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩngamwĩtĩkĩra, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.”
