Ezekiel 43

1 Then the man brought me back to the gate that faces east,

Pea hili ia naʻa ne ʻomi au ki he matapā, ʻae matapā ʻaia ʻoku hanga atu ki he potu hahake:

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.

Pea vakai, naʻe malama mai ʻae nāunau ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli mei he hala mei he potu hahake: pea naʻe tatau hono leʻo mo e ʻuʻulu ʻae ngaahi vai lahi: pea naʻe ulo ʻa māmani ko e meʻa ʻi hono nāunau.

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,

Pea naʻe tatau ʻa ʻene hā mai mo e meʻa hā mai naʻaku mamata ki ai, ʻio, ʻo tatau mo e meʻa hā mai naʻaku mamata ai ʻi heʻeku haʻu ke kikite ki he fakaʻauha ʻoe kolo: pea naʻe tatau hono ngaahi meʻa naʻe hā mai, mo ia naʻaku mamata ki ai ʻi he veʻe vaitafe ko Kipa; pea ne u tō hifo ki hoku mata.

4 and the glory of the LORD entered the temple through the gate facing east.

Pea naʻe hāʻele mai ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova ʻo hū ki he fale ʻi he hala ʻoe matapā ʻaia ʻoku hanga atu ki he potu hahake.

5 Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple.

Ko ia naʻe hiki hake ai au ʻe he laumālie, ʻo ne ʻave au ki he lotoʻā ki loto; pea vakai, naʻe fakapito ʻaki ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova ʻae fale kotoa.

6 While the man was standing beside me, I heard someone speaking to me from inside the temple,

Pea naʻaku fanongo ki heʻene folofola mai mei loto fale; pea naʻa ma tutuʻu mo e tangata.

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.

Pea naʻa ne pehē mai kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, ko e potu ʻo hoku ʻafioʻanga, mo e potu ki hoku ʻaofivaʻe, ʻaia te u nofo ai ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo taʻengata, pea mo hoku huafa māʻoniʻoni, ʻe ʻikai toe fakaʻuli ʻe he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻakinautolu, pe ko honau ngaahi tuʻi, ʻi heʻenau fai feʻauaki, pe ko e ʻangaʻanga ʻo honau ngaahi tuʻi ʻi honau ngaahi potu māʻolunga.

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.

He ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau fokotuʻu ʻenau matapā ki heʻeku matapā, mo ʻenau ngaahi pou ki heʻeku ngaahi pou, pea mo e ʻā ʻi homau vahaʻa mo kinautolu, pea kuo nau fakalieliaʻi ʻa hoku huafa māʻoniʻoni ʻi heʻenau ngaahi fakalielia kuo fai: ko ia naʻaku fakaʻauha ai ʻakinautolu ʻi he houhau.

9 Now let them remove far from Me their prostitution and the funeral offerings for their kings, and I will dwell among them forever.

Ka ko eni, ka tuku atu ʻekinautolu ʻenau ngaahi meʻa fakalielia, mo e ʻangaʻanga ʻo honau ngaahi tuʻi, ke mamaʻo meiate au, pea te u toki nofo au ʻi honau lotolotonga ʻo taʻengata.”

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,

“ʻA koe foha ʻoe tangata, fakahā ʻae fale ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke nau mā ki heʻenau ngaahi kovi: pea tuku ke nau fua ʻae fakatātā.

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.

Pea kapau te nau mā ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē kuo nau fai, fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻa hono anga ʻoe fale, mo hono fakafuofua, ʻa hono ngaahi hala kituʻa mo hono ngaahi hala ki loto, mo hono anga kotoa pē, mo hono tuʻutuʻuni kotoa pē, pea mo hono ngaahi fono kotoa pē: pea ke tohi ia ʻi honau ʻao, koeʻuhi ke nau fai ki hono anga kotoa pē, pea mo hono tuʻutuʻuni kotoa pē, mo nau fai ki ai.

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.

Ko eni ʻae fono ʻoku kau ki he fale; ʻilonga ʻa hono ngataʻanga takatakai hake ʻoe tumutumu ʻoe moʻunga, ʻe toputapu ʻaupito ia. Vakai ko e fono eni ki he fale.”

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:

Pea ko hono fakafuofua eni ʻoe ngaahi feilaulauʻanga ʻo lau ki hono kiupite: pea ko e kiupite, ko e kiupite ʻoku taha pea mo e ʻaofinima kātoa ʻe taha; ko hono takele ko e kiupite ʻe taha, pea ko hono laulahi ko e kiupite ʻe taha, pea ko hono tapa fakatali ʻaia ʻe takatakai ʻaki ko e hanga ʻe taha ia; pea ko e meʻa ia ki hono potu ki ʻolunga ʻoe feilaulauʻanga.

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.

Pea ko hono fua mei he funga kelekele ʻo hoko hake ki hono ʻuluaki hala fakatakamilo, ko e kiupite ia ʻe ua, pea ko hono laulahi ko e kiupite ʻe taha; pea mei he hala siʻi ʻo aʻu ki he hala lahi ko e kiupite ia ʻe fā, pea ko e kiupite ʻe taha ʻa hono laulahi.

15 The altar hearth shall be four cubits high, and four horns shall project upward from the hearth.

Pea ko e funga feilaulauʻanga ko e kiupite ia ʻe fā; pea ʻe ʻalu hake mei he feilaulauʻanga ʻae nifo ʻe fā.

16 The altar hearth shall be square at its four corners, twelve cubits long and twelve cubits wide.

Pea ko hono lōloa ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ko e kiupite ʻe hongofulu ma ua, mo e hongofulu ma ua ʻa hono laulahi, koeʻuhi ke potupotu mālie hono potu ʻe fā.

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.”

Pea ko hono hala takatakai ko hono lōloa ko e kiupite ʻe hongofulu ma fā, pea ko hono laulahi ʻi hono potu ʻe fā, ko e kiupite ʻe hongofulu ma fā; pea ko e tapa fakatali ʻe takatakai ai ko e vaeuamālie ʻoe kiupite; pea ko hono potu ki lalo ko e kiupite ʻe taha, ʻo takatakai hake; pea ʻe hangatonu hono hala tuʻunga ki he potu hahake.

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:

Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Ko eni ia ʻa hono tuʻutuʻuni ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻe ngaohi ai ia, ke ʻatu ʻi ai ʻae feilaulau tutu, pea ke luluku ʻaki ia ʻae toto.

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.

Pea ko e kau taulaʻeiki ʻae kau Livai, ʻoku ʻoe hako ʻo Satoki, ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻunuʻunu mai ke ngāue kiate au, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, te ke ʻatu ki ai ʻae pulu mui ko e feilaulau koeʻuhi ko e angahala.

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.

Pea te ke toʻo ʻa hono toto ʻoʻona, ʻo pani ʻaki ia ʻa hono nifo ʻe fā, mo e tuliki ʻe fā ʻoe hala takatakai, pea mo e tapa fakatali ʻoku takatakai ʻaki ia: ʻe pehē ʻa hono fakamaʻa mo hono fufulu.

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.

Te ke toʻo foki ʻae pulu ʻoku feilaulau ʻaki ʻi he angahala, pea te ne tutu ia ʻi he potu fale ʻoku tuku ki ai ʻi he tuʻa potu toputapu.

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.

Pea ʻi hono ʻaho ua te ke feilaulau ʻaki ʻae ʻuhikiʻi kosi taʻehanomele, ko e feilaulau ia ʻi he angahala; pea te nau fufulu ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻi he ʻatu ʻae pulu.

23 When you have finished the purification, you are to present a young, unblemished bull and an unblemished ram from the flock.

Pea ka hili ʻa hoʻo fakamaʻa ia, te ke ʻatu ha pulu mui ʻoku taʻehanomele, mo e sipitangata mei he fanga sipi ʻoku taʻehanomele.

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.

Pea te mou ʻatu ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea ʻe lī ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ha māsima ki ai, pea te nau ʻohake ia kia Sihova, ko e feilaulau tutu kiate ia.

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.

Pea ko e ʻaho ʻe fitu mo hoʻo teuteu ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ha kosi, ko e feilaulau ʻi he angahala: pea te nau teuteu foki ha pulu mui, mo e sipitangata mei he fanga sipi, ʻoku taʻehanomele.

26 For seven days the priests are to make atonement for the altar and cleanse it; so they shall consecrate it.

Ko e ʻaho ʻe fitu te nau fufulu ai ʻae feilaulauʻanga mo fakamaʻa ia; pea te nau fakatapui ʻakinautolu.

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.’”

Pea ka ʻosi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi hono ʻaho valu ʻo fai ki mui, ʻe ʻatu ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki hoʻomou ngaahi feilaulau tutu, mo hoʻomou ngaahi feilaulau fakalelei ʻi he feilaulauʻanga; pea te u maʻu ʻakimoutolu, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.”
