Ezekiel 44
1 The man then brought me back to the outer gate of the sanctuary that faced east, but it was shut.
Na mukul sac pwenyula nu ke mutunpot se lik ke layen nu kutulap ke Tempul uh. Mutunpot sac kaul,
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.
na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Mutunpot se inge ac kaul na. Wangin pacl ac ikakla. Wangin mwet ac orekmakin, mweyen nga, LEUM GOD lun Israel, tuh utyak kac, na ac fah kaul na.
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.”
Tusruktu, fisrak se ma leum fin mwet uh ac ku in tuku ac mongo ke bread mutal ye mutuk we. El ac fah ilyak ac illa ke mutunpot uh ke infukil in utyak se oan e loac.”
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.
Na mwet sac pwenyu ut ke mutunpot epang ah nu ke mutun Tempul uh. Ke nga ngetak nga liye lah kalem wolana lun LEUM GOD nwakla luin Tempul. Na nga faksufi,
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.
ac LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Kom, mwet sukawil moul la, lohang akwoya nu ke ma nukewa kom liye ac lohng uh. Nga ac fahkot nu sum ma sap ac oakwuk luk nu ke Tempul. Liye akwoya lah mwet fuka ac ku in ilyak ac illa liki Tempul, ac mwet fuka ac tia lela nu se.
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.
“Fahkang nu sin mwet Israel ingan su lungsena alein lah nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, ac fah tia sifil muteng orekma srungayuk ma elos muta oru uh.
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.
Elos akfohkfokye Tempul sik ke elos lela mwetsac, su tia kosrala ac tia akosyu, in utyak nu we ke pacl kiris uh ac srah uh kisakinyuk nu sik. Ouinge mwet luk uh kunausla wuleang luk nu selos ke sripen ma srungayuk nukewa elos oru.
8 And you have not kept charge of My holy things, but have appointed others to keep charge of My sanctuary for you.’
Elos tiana oru ma kunalos ke oakwuk mutal ke Tempul uh, a elos sang tuh in ma kunen mwetsac inge in oru.
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.
“Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahkak lah wangin mwet tia kosrala, ku mwet su tia akosyu, fah utyak nu in Tempul sik, finne mwetsac ma muta inmasrlon mwet 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.
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Nga fah kalyai mwet Levi su tuh wi mwet Israel ngia fahsr likiyu ac alu nu ke ma sruloala.
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.
Elos ac ku in kulansupweyu ke Tempul in liyaung mutunpot ac oru pac orekma lun Tempul. Elos ku in uniya kosro ma mwet uh ako in kisakin nu ke mwe kisa firir, ac mwe kisa saya, ac elos ac fah oru orekma in kulansupu mwet uh.
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.
Tusruktu, ke sripen elos pa kolla mwet Israel in alu nu ke ma sruloala, ac in ouiya se inge elos kololosla nu ke ma koluk, nga LEUM GOD Fulatlana, orala fulahk luk lah enenu in kalyeiyuk elos.
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.
Elos ac fah tia sifil kulansapweyu in oru orekma lun mwet tol, ku apkuranyang nu ke kutena ma mutal sik, ku utyak nu in Acn Mutal Na Mutal. Pa inge mwe kalya nu selos ke orekma srungayuk elos oru.
14 Yet I will appoint them to keep charge of all the work for the temple and everything to be done in it.
Nga ac sang orekma pusisel ke Tempul tuh in ma kunalos.”
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.
LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk, “Mwet tol ke sruf lal Levi su ma ke fwilin tulik natul Zadok, elos oaru na in kulansapweyu in Tempul ke pacl mwet Israel saya uh forla likiyu. Ke ma inge, elos pa ac kulansapweyu, ac tuku nu ye mutuk in kisakin ma kiris ac srah ke mwe kisa uh.
16 They alone shall enter My sanctuary and draw near to My table to minister before Me. They will keep My charge.
Elos mukena pa ac utyak nu in Tempul sik, ac kulansap ke loang luk, ac kol alu in Tempul.
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.
Ke elos ac utyak ke mutunpot nu in acn mwesas se loac ke Tempul uh, elos fah nokomang nuknuk linen. Elos fah tiana orekmakin kutena nuknuk ma orekla ke unen sheep ke pacl elos kulansap in acn mwesas se loac ku luin Tempul uh.
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.
Elos in susu linen ac turasis linen, ac elos in tia pel, elos in mau tia fio.
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.
Meet liki elos ac tufoki nu ke acn mwesas se lik ah yen mwet uh muta we, elos enenu na in sarukla nuknuk ma elos nukum ke pacl elos kulansap in Tempul uh, ac filiya infukil mutal. Elos in nokomang nuknuk na lalos, tuh mwet uh in tia pusralla nuknuk mutal uh in tuh akongoiyalosla.
20 They must not shave their heads or let their hair grow long, but must carefully trim their hair.
“Mwet tol uh tia enenu in mangsrasrala ku akloesye aunsifalos. Elos enenu in oru tuh in lusa na fal.
21 No priest may drink wine before he enters the inner court.
Mwet tol enenu in tia nim wain meet liki elos ilyak nu in acn mwesas loac uh.
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.
Wangin mwet tol ac fah payuk sin mutan ma sisila sin sie pacna mwet. El enenu in payuk na sin sie mutan Israel su virgin, ku sie katinmas ma mukul tuma uh mwet tol.
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.
“Mwet tol uh enenu in luti nu sin mwet luk in ku in akilen inmasrlon ma mutal ac ma tia mutal, oayapa inmasrlon ma nasnas ac ma tia nasnas fal nu ke oakwuk lun alu uh.
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.
Pacl ma oasr alein yohk sikyak, mwet tol uh pa ac oru nununku fal nu ke ma sap luk. Elos enenu in karingin pacl in kufwa lun alu uh fal nu ke ma sap ac oakwuk luk, ac elos enenu in karinganang len Sabbath tuh in mutal.
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,
“Sie mwet tol enenu na in tia akfohkfokyal sifacna ke el kahlye monin sie mwet misa, sayen mwet sacn el fin papa tumal ku nina kial, ku sie sin tulik natul, ku sie tamulel lal, ku sie tamtael wial ma soenna payuk.
26 and after he is cleansed, he must count off seven days for himself.
Tukun el sifilpa aknasnasyeyukla, el enenu in soano ke len itkosr,
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.
na el fah ilyak nu in acn mwesas se loac ke Tempul ac oru sie mwe kisa ke ma koluk, elan mau ku in sifilpa kulansap in Tempul. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, pa fahk ma inge.
28 In regard to their inheritance, I am their inheritance. You are to give them no possession in Israel, for I am their possession.
“Mwe usru lun mwet tol ke ma nga sang nu sin mwet Israel tuh in ma lalos fwil nu ke fwil, pa orekma lun mwet tol. Ac fah wangin acn lalos in Israel. Nga na pa ac sang enenu lalos.
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.
Pa inge mwe mongo nun mwet tol uh: mwe kisa wheat, mwe kisa ke ma koluk, ac mwe kisa in akfalye ma koluk lukma. Oayapa ma nukewa in Israel ma sriyukla nu sik, ac fah ma lalos.
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.
Ma wo ke kosrani se meet in ma nukewa, ac oayapa ma wo ke ma kisakinyuk nu sik, ac fah ma lun mwet tol. Pacl nukewa mwet uh manman flao, elos in sang lof soko emeet nu sin mwet tol oana sie mwe kisa. Mwe insewowo luk ac fah oan fin lohm sin mwet su oru ouinge.
31 The priests may not eat any bird or animal found dead or torn by wild beasts.
Mwet tol fah tia mongo kutena won ku kosro ma sifacna misa, ku ma anwuki sin kosro lemnak.”
