Ezekiel 44
1 The man then brought me back to the outer gate of the sanctuary that faced east, but it was shut.
Eka ngʼatno noduoga nyaka e rangach ma oko mar kama ler mar lemo, mochomo yo wuok chiengʼ, kendo ne olore.
2 And the LORD said to me, “This gate is to remain shut. It shall not be opened, and no man shall enter through it, because the LORD, the God of Israel, has entered through it. Therefore it will remain shut.
Jehova Nyasaye nowachona niya, “Rangajni nyaka sik kolor. Ok onego yawe, kendo ok oyie ni ngʼato mondo oluwe kadonjo. Nyaka osik kolore nikech Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, oseluwe kadonjo.
3 Only the prince himself may sit inside the gateway to eat in the presence of the LORD. He must enter by way of the portico of the gateway and go out the same way.”
Wuod ruoth kende ema oyiene mar bet piny gi ei rangach mondo ochiem e nyim Jehova Nyasaye. To nyaka odonji koluwo bwo gama mar kar donjo kendo kanyo ema ochak oluw kodok.”
4 Then the man brought me to the front of the temple by way of the north gate. I looked and saw the glory of the LORD filling His temple, and I fell facedown.
Eka ngʼatno nokela koluwo koda rangach man yo nyandwat mochomo nyim hekalu tir. Nangʼicho, kendo naneno duongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye kopongʼo hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, mi napodho piny auma.
5 The LORD said to me: “Son of man, pay attention; look carefully with your eyes and listen closely with your ears to everything I tell you concerning all the statutes and laws of the house of the LORD. Take careful note of the entrance to the temple, along with all the exits of the sanctuary.
Jehova Nyasaye nowachona niya, “Wuod dhano, nen maber, chik iti mos kendo ket chunyi mondo itim gik moko duto ma anyisi kuom chike duto mag hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye. Ket chunyi mar yango yo midonjogo e hekalu kod yore duto miwuokgo kama ler mar lemo.
6 Tell the rebellious house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I have had enough of all your abominations, O house of Israel.
Nyis jo-dhood Israel ma jongʼanyogo kama: ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Yaye dhood Israel, timbeu mamono oroma!
7 In addition to all your other abominations, you brought in foreigners uncircumcised in both heart and flesh to occupy My sanctuary; you defiled My temple when you offered My food—the fat and the blood; you broke My covenant.
Kaachiel gi timbeu mamono mamoko duto, ne ukelo ogendini mamoko ma ok oter nyangu gie chunygi gi ringregi nyaka ei kara maler mar lemo, mine udwanyo hekaluna kane uchiwona chiemo gi boche kod remo, kendo ne uketho singruokna kodu.
8 And you have not kept charge of My holy things, but have appointed others to keep charge of My sanctuary for you.’
Kar timo gima owinjore utim gi giga maler, to ne uketo jomoko nono mondo ema orit kara maler mar lemo.
9 This is what the Lord GOD says: No foreigner uncircumcised in heart and flesh may enter My sanctuary—not even a foreigner who lives among the Israelites.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Onge ogendini ma ok oter nyangu gie chunygi kata kuom ringregi moyie negidonjo kara maler mar lemo, kata obed ni gin oganda ma oko modak e dier jo-Israel.
10 Surely the Levites who wandered away from Me when Israel went astray, and who wandered away from Me after their idols, will bear the consequences of their iniquity.
“‘To jo-Lawi mane odhi mabor koda ka jo-Israel nobaro oweya, mago mane obaro oweya ka giluwo nyisechegi manono, nyaka yud kum maromre gi richogi.
11 Yet they shall be ministers in My sanctuary, having charge of the gates of the temple and ministering there. They shall slaughter the burnt offerings and other sacrifices for the people and stand before them to minister to them.
Ginyalo mana tiyona e kara maler mar lemo ka girito dhorangeye mag hekalu kendo ka gikonyo tije moko e iye; ginyalo yangʼo jamni mitimogo misengini miwangʼo pep kendo ginyalo chiwo misengini ni ji ka gichungʼ e nyimgi kendo gitiyonegi.
12 Because they ministered before their idols and became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I swore with an uplifted hand concerning them that they would bear the consequences of their iniquity, declares the Lord GOD.
To nikech negitiyo nigi e nyim nyisechegi manono, mi gimiyo jo-dhood Israel opodho e richo, omiyo asekwongʼora chuth ni nyaka giyud kum maromre gi richogi, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho.
13 They must not approach Me to serve Me as priests or come near any of My holy things or the most holy things. They will bear the shame of the abominations they have committed.
Ok oyienigi sudo buta machiegni mondo gitina kaka jodolo, kata mondo gibi machiegni gi gira moro amora maler, kata gi chiwo maga maler mogik. Nyaka gitingʼ wichkuot mar timbegi mamono.
14 Yet I will appoint them to keep charge of all the work for the temple and everything to be done in it.
To kata kamano pod abiro ketogi jorit mag tijega mag hekalu kod tije duto monego otim e iye.
15 But the Levitical priests, who are descended from Zadok and who kept charge of My sanctuary when the Israelites went astray from Me, are to approach Me to minister before Me. They will stand before Me to offer Me fat and blood, declares the Lord GOD.
“‘To jodolo ma jo-Lawi kendo ma nyikwa Zadok mane otiyo tijegi gi adiera e kara maler mar lemo kane jo-Israel obaro oweya, oyienigi sudo buta machiegni mondo giti e nyima. Ginyalo chungʼ e nyima ka gichiwo misengini mag boche gi remo, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho.
16 They alone shall enter My sanctuary and draw near to My table to minister before Me. They will keep My charge.
Gin kendgi ema onego gidonji e kara maler mar lemo; gin kendgi ema oyienigi sudo machiegni gi mesana mondo giti e nyima kendo gitim tijena.
17 When they enter the gates of the inner court, they are to wear linen garments; they must not wear anything made of wool when they minister at the gates of the inner court or inside the temple.
“‘Ka gidonjo e dhorangeye mag laru ma iye, to nyaka girwak lewni marep-rep. Ok oyienegi rwako lewni mapek molos gi yie rombe ka gitiyo e dhorangeye mag laru ma iye, kata ei hekalu.
18 They are to wear linen turbans on their heads and linen undergarments around their waists. They must not wear anything that makes them perspire.
Nyaka gitwe kilemba molos gi lewni marep-rep e wiyegi, kendo nyaka gitwe lewni marep-rep e nungogi. Ok oyienigi rwako gimoro amora manyalo miyo luya chamgi.
19 When they go out to the outer court, to the people, they are to take off the garments in which they have ministered, leave them in the holy chambers, and dress in other clothes so that they do not transmit holiness to the people with their garments.
Kagiwuok oko mondo gidonji e laru ma oko kama ji nitie to nyaka gigol oko lewni mane girwako ka gitiyo, kendo nyaka giwegi e udi maler mowal, ka girwako lepgi mamoko, mondo kik gikel chandruok ni joma orere e lewnigo.
20 They must not shave their heads or let their hair grow long, but must carefully trim their hair.
“‘Ok oyienigi lielo yie wigi kata weyo yie wigi dongo maboyo, to nyaka gine ni yier wiyegi obusi maber.
21 No priest may drink wine before he enters the inner court.
Ok oyiene jadolo madho divai seche modonjo e laru maiye.
22 And they shall not marry a widow or a divorced woman, but must marry a virgin of the descendants of the house of Israel, or a widow of a priest.
Bende ok oyienigi kendo mon ma chwogi otho, kata mon moweyo chwogi. Ginyalo kendo mana nyiri masilili mag jo-Israel, kata dhako ma chwore otho ma chwore ne jadolo.
23 They are to teach My people the difference between the holy and the common, and show them how to discern between the clean and the unclean.
Jadolo onego puonj joga pogruok manie kind gik maler mowal kod gik moko amoka moriwo ji duto, kendo nyaka ginyisgi kaka ginyalo pogo kind gik mochido gi gik mopwodhi.
24 In any dispute, they shall officiate as judges and judge according to My ordinances. They must keep My laws and statutes regarding all My appointed feasts, and they must keep My Sabbaths holy.
“‘Ka nitie winjruok marach moro amora e kind ji, to jodolo nyaka bed jongʼad bura kendo nyaka gilos wachno kaluwore gi buchena. Nyaka girit chikena gi yorena morito nyasi maga moyiedhi duto, kendo nyaka girit Sabato maga kaka odiechienge maler.
25 A priest must not defile himself by going near a dead person. However, for a father, a mother, a son, a daughter, a brother, or an unmarried sister, he may do so,
“‘Jadolo nyaka ritre, kendo kik osud machiegni gi ringre ngʼama otho ma dimi obed mogak. To kapo ni ngʼama othono en wuon mare kata min mare, kata wuode kata nyare, kata owadgi kata nyamin mapok odhi tedo, to oyiene mondo obed mogak.
26 and after he is cleansed, he must count off seven days for himself.
Ka osepwodhore, to nyaka orit kuom ndalo abiriyo.
27 And on the day he goes into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he must present his sin offering, declares the Lord GOD.
Odiechiengʼ mowinjore odonji e laru maiye mar kama ler mar lemo mondo oti tij dolo e kama ler mar lemo, to nyaka ochiw misango mar golo richo ni en owuon, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho.
28 In regard to their inheritance, I am their inheritance. You are to give them no possession in Israel, for I am their possession.
“‘An e girkeni kende ma jadolo nigo. Kik umigi mwandu moro amora e piny Israel. An ema abiro bedo mwandugi.
29 They shall eat the grain offerings, the sin offerings, and the guilt offerings. Everything in Israel devoted to the LORD will belong to them.
Gibiro chamo misengini mag cham, misengini mag golo richo kod misengini mag pwodhruok; kendo gimoro amora manie piny Israel mowal ni Jehova Nyasaye nobed margi.
30 The best of all the firstfruits and of every contribution from all your offerings will belong to the priests. You are to give your first batch of dough to the priest, so that a blessing may rest upon your homes.
Chambu mabeyo mogik duto mukwongo kayo kaachiel gi chiwo magu duto makende biro bedo mag jodolo. Chiemo mokwong tedo mag chambgi nomi jodolo eka ginigwedh miechu.
31 The priests may not eat any bird or animal found dead or torn by wild beasts.
Jodolo ok oyienegi chamo gimoro amora motho kende kata ma ondiek onego, bed ni en winyo kata le.
