< Jezekiel 46 >

1 Thus says the Lord God; The gate that is in the inner court, that looks eastward, shall be shut the six working days; [but] let it be opened on the sabbath-day, and it shall be opened on the day of the new moon.
‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “ʻE tāpuni ʻae matapā ʻoe lotoʻā ki loto ʻaia ʻoku hanga ki hahake ʻi he ʻaho ʻe ono ʻoku ngofua ai ʻae ngāue; ka ʻe fakaava ia ʻi he ʻaho tapu, pea ʻe fakaava ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe māhina foʻou.
2 And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of the inner gate, and shall stand at the entrance of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his whole burnt offerings and his peace-offerings, and he shall worship at the entrance of the gate: then shall he come forth; but the gate shall not be shut till evening.
Pea ʻe hū atu ʻae tuʻi ʻi he hala ʻoe fale hala ʻoe matapā kituʻa, pea te ne tuʻu ʻi he tefito pou ʻoe matapā, pea ʻe ngaohi ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ʻa ʻene feilaulau tutu, mo ʻene ngaahi feilaulau fakafetaʻi, pea te ne fai ʻene hū ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā: pea te ne toki ʻalu atu; ka ʻe ʻikai tāpuni ʻae matapā ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
3 And the people of the land shall worship at the entrance of that gate, both on the sabbaths and at the new moons, before the Lord.
‌ʻE pehē foki mo e kakai ʻoe fonua te nau hū ʻi he matapā ʻi he hūʻanga ko ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho tapu, pea ʻi he ngaahi māhina foʻou.
4 And the prince shall offer whole burnt offerings to the Lord on the sabbath-day, six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish;
Pea ko e feilaulau tutu ʻe ʻatu ʻe he tuʻi ʻi he ʻaho tapu, ko e lami ʻe ono taʻehanauʻila, pea mo e sipitangata taʻehanomele.
5 and a free will offering, a meat-offering for the ram, and a meat-offering for the lambs, the gift of his hand, and a hin of oil for the meat-offering.
Pea ko e feilaulau ʻoe meʻakai ko e efa ʻe taha ki he sipitangata ʻe taha, pea ko e feilaulau meʻakai ki he fanga lami, ʻe fakatatau ia ki heʻene faʻa fai, pea ko e hini ʻe taha ʻoe lolo ki he efa ʻe taha.
6 And on the day of the new moon a calf without blemish, and six lambs, and there shall be a ram without blemish;
Pea ko e ʻaho ʻoe māhina foʻou ʻe ʻatu ai ʻae pulu mui taʻehanomele, pea mo e fanga lami ʻe ono, pea mo e sipitangata ʻe taha: pea te nau taʻehanaumele.
7 and a meat-offering for the ram, and there shall be a meat-offering for the calf as a free will offering, and for the lambs, according as his hand can furnish, and [there shall be] a hin of oil for the cake.
Pea te ne teuteu ha feilaulau meʻakai, ko e efa ʻe taha ki he pulu ʻe taha, mo e efa ʻe taha ki he sipitangata ʻe taha, pea ko e meʻa maʻae fanga lami ʻo fakatatau mo ia ʻoku faʻa fai ʻe hono nima, pea ko e hini ʻe taha ʻoe lolo, ki he efa ʻe taha.
8 And when the prince goes in, he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and he shall go forth by the way of the gate.
Pea ka hū atu ʻae tuʻi, te ne hū atu ʻi he hala ʻoe fale hala ʻi he matapā, pea te ne toe ʻalu atu ai pe kituʻa.
9 And whenever the people of the land shall go in before the Lord at the feasts, he that goes in by the way of the north gate to worship shall go forth by the way of the south gate; and he that goes in by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the gate by which he entered, but he shall go forth opposite it.
Ka ʻi heʻene haʻu ʻae kakai ʻoe fonua ki he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi he ngaahi kātoanga fakatoputapu, ko ia ʻoku hū atu ke lotu ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā ki he tokelau, ʻe ʻalu atu ia kituʻa ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā ki he feituʻu tonga; pea ko ia ʻoku hū atu ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā ki tonga ʻe toe ʻalu atu ia ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā ki he tokelau: ʻe ʻikai te ne toe foki atu ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā ko ia naʻa ne hū mai mei ai, ka te ne ʻalu atu ʻi he matapā ʻoku hangatonu mai ki ai.
10 And the prince shall enter with them in the midst of them when they go in; and when they go forth, he shall go forth.
Pea ʻe hū atu ʻae tuʻi fakataha mo kinautolu ʻoka nau ka hū ki ai; pea ka nau ka toe ʻalu atu mei ai, ʻe ʻalu foki mo ia kituʻa.
11 And in the feasts and in the general assemblies the free will oblation shall be a meat-offering for the calf, and a meat-offering for the ram, and for the lambs, as his hand can furnish, and a hin of oil for the meat-offering.
Pea ʻi he ngaahi kātoanga mo e ngaahi fakataha fakatoputapu ko e feilaulau ʻoe meʻakai, ko e efa ʻe taha ki he pulu ʻe taha, mo e efa ʻe taha ki he sipitangata, pea ko e meʻa ki he fanga lami ʻe fakatatau ia mo ia ʻoku ne faʻa fai, pea ko e hini ʻe taha ʻoe loto, ki he efa ʻe taha.
12 And if the prince should prepare [as] a thanksgiving a whole burnt-peace-offering to the Lord, and should open for himself the gate looking eastward, and offer his whole burnt offering, and his peace-offerings, as he does on the sabbath-day; then shall he go out, and shall shut the doors after he has gone out.
Pea ka fai ʻe he tuʻi ke teuteu ʻofa pe haʻane feilaulau tutu, pe ha feilaulau fakafetaʻi ʻoku ʻatu ʻataʻatā pe kia Sihova, ʻe fakaava kiate ia ʻae matapā, ʻaia ʻoku hangatonu ki he potu hahake, pea ʻe teuteu ʻa ʻene feilaulau tutu, pea mo ʻene feilaulau fakafetaʻi, ʻo hangē ko ia ne fai ʻi he ʻaho tapu: pea te ne toki ʻalu atu kituʻa; pea ka ʻalu atu ia kituʻa, ʻe tāpuni ʻae matapā.
13 And he shall prepare daily as a whole burnt offering to the Lord a lamb of a year old without blemish: in the morning shall he prepare it.
Te ke teuteu ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ha feilaulau tutu kia Sihova, ko e lami ʻi hono ʻuluaki taʻu, mo taʻehanomele; te ke teuteu ia ʻi he pongipongi kotoa pē kotoa pē.
14 And he shall prepare a free will offering for it in the morning, the sixth part of a measure [of flour], and a third part of a hin of oil to mix [therewith] the fine flour, [as] a free will offering to the Lord, a perpetual ordinance.
Pea ʻe teuteu mo hono feilaulau meʻakai, ʻi he pongipongi kotoa pē, ko hono vahe ʻe ono ʻoe efa ʻe taha, mo hono vahe ʻe tolu ʻoe hini ʻe taha ʻoe lolo, ke natu ʻaki ʻae mahoaʻa lelei; ko e feilaulau ia ʻoe meʻakai, ke tuʻutuʻuni mo fai maʻuaipē kia Sihova.
15 You shall prepare the lamb, and the free will offering, and the oil in the morning, [for] a perpetual whole burnt sacrifice.
‌ʻE pehē ʻa hono teuteu ʻekinautolu ʻae lami, mo e feilaulau ʻoe meʻakai, pea mo e lolo, ʻi he pongipongi kotoa pē, ko e feilaulau tutu ia ke fai maʻuaipē.”
16 Thus says the Lord God; If the prince shall give a gift to one of his sons out of his inheritance, this shall be to his sons a possession [as] an inheritance.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Kapau ʻe ʻatu ha meʻa ʻe he tuʻi ki ha taha ʻi hono ngaahi foha, ʻe maʻu tukufakaholo ia ʻe hono ngaahi foha; ʻe ʻonautolu ia tukufakaholo.
17 But if he give a gift to one of his servants, then it shall belong to him until the year of release; and [then] he shall restore [it] to the prince: but of the inheritance of his sons [the possession] shall continue to them.
Pea kapau te ne tuku ha meʻa ki ha taha ʻi heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ia ʻo aʻu ki he taʻu ʻoe fakatauʻatāina; ka hoko mai ia ʻe toe maʻu ia ʻe he tuʻi; ka ko e meʻa kuo ne tuku ki hono ngaahi foha, ʻe ʻanautolu maʻuaipē ia.
18 And the prince shall by no means take of the inheritance of the people, to oppress them: he shall give an inheritance to his sons out of his [own] possession: that my people be not scattered, every one from his possession.
Pea ʻe ʻikai fakamālohiʻi ʻe he tuʻi ʻae tofiʻa ʻoe kakai, ke ne kapusi ʻakinautolu mei honau tofiʻa; ka te ne tuku ʻae tofiʻa ki hono ngaahi foha mei hono tofiʻa pe ʻoʻona: koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa fakamovetevete ʻae kakai mei honau tofiʻa taki taha.”
19 And he brought me into the entrance of the [place] behind the gate, into the chamber of the sanctuary belonging to the priests, that looks towards the north: and, behold, there was a place set apart.
Hili ia naʻa ne ʻomi au ki he hūʻanga ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he veʻe matapā, ki he ngaahi potu fale tapu, naʻe ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki, ʻaia ʻoku hanga ki he potu tokelau: pea vakai, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae potu, ʻi hono potu ʻe ua ki lulunga.
20 And he said to me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass-offerings and the sin-offerings, and there shall they bake the meat-offering always; so as not to carry [them] out into the outer court, to sanctify the people.
Pea naʻa ne toki pehē kiate au, “Ko e potu eni ʻe haka ai ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki, ʻae feilaulau ʻoe fai hala, mo e feilaulau ʻi he angahala, pea ʻe taʻo ai ʻae feilaulau ʻoe meʻakai; koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa nau ʻave ia kituʻa, ki he lotoʻā kituʻa, ʻi he tāpuakiʻi ʻoe kakai.”
21 And he brought me into the outer court, and led me round upon the four sides of the court; and, behold, there was a court on [each of] the sides of the court,
Hili ia naʻa ne ʻomi au kituʻa, ki he lotoʻā kituʻa, mo ne ʻave au ke u ʻalu ki hono tuliki ʻe fā ʻoe lotoʻā; pea vakai naʻe ai ʻae lotoʻā siʻi ʻi hono tuliki kotoa pē.
22 on [every] side a court, [even] a court for all the four [sides], and [each] little court belonging to the court was in length forty cubits, and [in] breadth thirty cubits, [there was] one measure to the four.
‌ʻI hono tuliki ʻe fā ʻoe lotoʻā, naʻe ai ʻae lotoʻā siʻi, ko e kiupite ʻe fāngofulu hono lōloa, pea mo e tolungofulu ʻa hono laulahi: pea naʻe fuofua tatau ʻae tuliki ʻe fā ko ia.
23 And [there were] chambers in them round about, round about the four, and cooking-places formed under the chambers round about.
Pea naʻe tuʻu takatakai ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi potu fale ki loto, ʻi hono potu ʻe fā ko ia, pea naʻe ngaohi takatakai ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi hakaʻanga meʻa ki lalo.
24 And he said to me, These are the cooks' houses, where they that serve the house shall boil the sacrifices of the people.
Pea ne toki pehē mai kiate au, “Ko e ngaahi potu ia ʻanautolu ʻoku haka meʻa, ʻaia ʻe haka ai ʻe he kau tauhi ʻoe fale ʻae feilaulau ʻae kakai.”
