< Ezekiel 43 >
1 And he led me to the gate which looked toward the way of the east.
Emesịa, ọ kpọbatakwara m nʼọnụ ụzọ mbata nke chere ihu nʼọwụwa anyanwụ.
2 And behold, the glory of the God of Israel entered along the way of the east. And his voice was like the voice of many waters. And the earth was resplendent before his majesty.
Ma lee, ahụrụ m ebube Chineke nke Izrel ka o si nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ na-apụta. Olu ya dị ka mbigbọ nke ebili mmiri, ebube ya nwukwara nʼala ahụ niile.
3 And I saw a vision in accord with the form that I had seen when he arrived so that he might destroy the city. And the form was in accord with the sight that I had seen beside the river Chebar. And I fell upon my face.
Ọ dịkwa ka ọhụ mbụ m hụrụ, nke m buru ụzọ hụ nʼakụkụ ọnụ mmiri Keba, ya na nke m hụrụ na Jerusalem mgbe ọ bịara ibibi obodo ahụ. Adara m nʼala kpugide ihu m nʼaja.
4 And the majesty of the Lord advanced into the temple, along the way of the gate which looked toward the east.
Ebube Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼọnụ ụzọ chere ihu nʼọwụwa anyanwụ bata nʼime ụlọnsọ ahụ.
5 And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court. And behold, the house was filled with the glory of the Lord.
Mgbe ahụ, Mmụọ nke Chineke buliri m bubata m nʼime ogige nke ime, ma ebube nke Onyenwe anyị jupụtara nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.
6 And I heard someone speaking to me from the house, and the man who was standing beside me
Mgbe ahụ, anụrụ m olu ka o si nʼụlọnsọ ahụ na-agwa m okwu, dịka nwoke ahụ na-eguzokwa nʼakụkụ m.
7 said to me: “Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the steps of my feet, is where I live: in the midst of the sons of Israel forever. And the house of Israel, they and their kings, shall no longer defile my holy name by their fornications, and by the ruinous ways of their kings, and by exalted places.
Ọ sịrị m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, ebe a bụ ebe nke ocheeze, na ebe nke ọbụ ụkwụ m abụọ ga-anọgide, ebe a ka m ga-ebi nʼetiti ụmụ Izrel ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Ụlọ Izrel agaghị emerụkwa aha nsọ m ọzọ, ha onwe ha maọbụ ndị eze ha, site nʼikpere arụsị niile ha na ibubata onyinye olili ozu ndị eze ha, mgbe ha nwụrụ anwụ.
8 They have fabricated their threshold beside my threshold, and their doorposts beside my doorposts. And there was a wall between me and them. And they defiled my holy name by the abominations which they committed. Because of this, I consumed them in my wrath.
Mgbe ha wuru mbata ọnụ ụzọ ha nʼakụkụ mbata ọnụ ụzọ m, tinye ọnụ ụzọ ha nʼakụkụ ọnụ ụzọ m, ọ bụkwa naanị mgbidi bụ ihe dị nʼetiti mụ na ha. Ha merụrụ aha nsọ m site nʼihe arụ niile ha mere. Ya mere m ji bibie ha nʼiwe m.
9 Now therefore, let them drive away their fornications, and the ruinous ways of their kings, from before me. And I will live in their midst forever.
Ugbu a, ka ha wezuga adịghị ọcha na ife chi ndị ọzọ ha nʼihu m, bupụkwa onyinye olili ozu ndị eze ha nʼebe m nọ, mgbe ahụ, aga m ebi nʼetiti ha ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
10 But as for you, son of man, reveal the temple to the house of Israel, and let them be confounded by their iniquities, and let them measure the fabrication,
“Nwa nke mmadụ, kọwaara ụmụ Izrel ụlọnsọ ahụ m ziri gị. Gwa ha ụdịdị ya, na ịpụ iche ya, ka ihere mee ha nʼihi mmehie ha.
11 and let them be ashamed at all the things that they have done. Reveal to them the form and the fabrication of the house, its exits and entrances, and its entire description, and all of its precepts, and its entire order, and all of its laws. And you shall write in their sight, so that they may observe its entire description and its precepts, and so that they may accomplish them.”
Ọ bụrụ nʼezie na ihere emee ha nʼihi ihe ha mere, mgbe ahụ, kọwaara ha ihe niile metụtara otu a ga-esi wuo ụlọnsọ a, na ihe gbasara nkwado ya, na ihe gbasara ọnụ ụzọ ọpụpụ na mbata ya niile, ihe metụtara ebumnobi nke owuwu ya niile na usoro na iwu niile banyere ya. Depụta ihe ndị a nʼihu ha, nye ha ka ha lezie anya mezuo ihe niile metụtara usoro a ga-agbaso wuo ya.
12 This is the law of the house at the summit of the mountain, with all its parts all around. It is the Holy of Holies. Therefore, this is the law of the house.
“Nke a bụ iwu ụlọ banyere nsọ ukwu ahụ. Ebe niile gbara elu ugwu a gburugburu ga-abụ ebe dịkarịsịrị nsọ! Nke a bụ iwu ụlọnsọ ahụ.
13 Now these are the measures of the altar by the most true cubit, which has a cubit and a palm. Its bend was a cubit, and it was a cubit in width. And its boundary, even to its edge and all around, was the width of one palm. The trough of the altar was like this also.
“Nke a bụ ọtụtụ niile gbasara ebe ịchụ aja ya: Ịdị elu nke ala ya bụ iri sentimita ise na atọ; ịgba gburugburu nke ọnụ ya bụ iri sentimita abụọ na atọ; obosara ya dị iri sentimita ise na atọ. Otu a ka ebe ịchụ aja ahụ ga-aha nʼogologo.
14 And from the bend at the floor even to the furthest rim was two cubits, and the width was one cubit. And from the lesser rim even to the greater rim was four cubits, and the width was one cubit.
Site nʼụkwụ ya nke dị nʼala ruo nʼokere ya nke etiti, ọ ga-adị otu mita nʼogologo nakwa nʼuhie; site nʼokere nke nta ruo na nke ukwu ga-adị mita abụọ nʼogologo na ọkara nʼuhie.
15 Now the hearth itself was four cubits. And from the hearth going upward, there were four horns.
Ebe nsure ọkụ nke ebe ịchụ aja ahụ ga-adị mita abụọ, mpi anọ sikwa nʼakụkụ ya gbagoo elu, nke ọbụla nʼime ha ga-adị ọkara mita nʼogologo.
16 And the hearth was twelve cubits in length by twelve cubits in width, foursquare, with equal sides.
Ebe nsure ọkụ nke ebe ịchụ aja ahụ ga-adị mita isii nʼogologo na mita isii nʼuhie, nwee akụkụ anọ nke ha nʼotu.
17 And the rim was fourteen cubits in length, by fourteen cubits in width, at its four corners. And the crown all around it was one half cubit, and its bend was one cubit all around. And its steps turned toward the east.
Nke dị nʼokpuru ga-adị mita asatọ nʼakụkụ ọbụla; a ga-arụlite ọnụ ọnụ ya gburugburu, ka ịdị elu nke ọnụ ọnụ ya bụrụ iri sentimita abụọ na asaa. Akụkụ ya niile gbasapụrụ site nʼelu ya ruo nʼala. Ọtụtụ mgbasapụ a dị iri sentimita ise na atọ. Nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ ka ihe e ji arịgo ya dị.”
18 And he said to me: “Son of man, thus says the Lord God: These are the rituals of the altar, in whatever day it will be made, so that holocausts may be offered upon it, and blood may be poured out.
Mgbe ahụ, ọ gwara m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Ndị a bụ usoro metụtara iwu ịchụ aja nke aja nsure ọkụ, na ifesa ọbara nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja mgbe e wusiri ya.
19 And you shall present these to the priests and to the Levites, who are of the offspring of Zadok, those who draw near to me, says the Lord God, so that they may offer to me a calf from the herd on behalf of sin.
Ị ga-enye ndị nchụaja bụ ndị Livayị si nʼezinaụlọ Zadọk, bụ ndị na-abịa m nso ife ofufe nʼihu m, otu oke ehi maka aja mmehie, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
20 And you shall take from its blood, and you shall place it on its four horns, and on the four corners of the rim, and on the crown all around. And so shall you cleanse and expiate it.
Unu ga-ewere ụfọdụ nʼọbara ya tee na mpi anọ nke ebe ịchụ aja, na nʼakụkụ anọ nke ebe ịchụ aja, na nʼakụkụ anọ nke mbadamba nkume dị nʼelu, na gburugburu ọnụ ọnụ ya, si otu a sachaa ebe ịchụ aja ahụ, kpuchikwaara ya mmehie.
21 And you shall take the calf, which will be offered for sin, and you shall burn it in a separate place in the house, outside of the sanctuary.
Mgbe ahụ, a ga-ewere nwa oke ehi e ji chụọ aja mmehie ahụ, kpọọ ya ọkụ nʼebe a kwadoro nʼezi ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.
22 And on the second day, you shall offer an immaculate he-goat from among the she-goats on behalf of sin. And they shall expiate the altar, just as they expiated it with the calf.
“Nʼụbọchị nke abụọ, ị ga-eji nwa mkpi na-enweghị ntụpọ chụọ aja mmehie. A ga-eme ka ebe ịchụ aja dị ọcha, dịka e ji oke ehi ahụ mee ka ọ dị ọcha.
23 And when you will have completed expiating it, you shall offer an immaculate calf from the herd and an immaculate ram from the flock.
Mgbe i mechara mmemme nsacha ndị a, werekwa nwa oke ehi ọzọ nke na-enweghị ntụpọ, na nwa ebule site nʼigwe anụ nke na-enweghị ntụpọ chụọ aja.
24 And you shall offer them in the sight of the Lord. And the priests shall sprinkle salt over them, and they shall offer them as a holocaust to the Lord.
Were ha jee chee nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, ka ndị nchụaja were nnu fesa ha dịka aja nsure ọkụ a chụrụ nye Onyenwe anyị.
25 For seven days, you shall offer daily a he-goat on behalf of sin. Also, they shall offer a calf from the herd, and a ram from the flock, ones that are immaculate.
“Ụbọchị asaa, kwa ụbọchị ka ị ga-ewepụta otu mkpi, na nwa oke ehi, na nwa ebule site nʼigwe anụ ndị ahụ, chụọ aja mmehie. Ha niile ga-abụ ụmụ anụmanụ ndị na-enweghị ntụpọ.
26 For seven days, they shall expiate the altar, and they shall cleanse it, and they shall fill its hand.
Ụbọchị asaa ka ha ga na-achụ aja ikpuchi mmehie nʼihi ebe ịchụ aja, mee ka ọ dị ọcha, site otu a doo ya nsọ.
27 Then, when the days have been completed, on the eighth day and thereafter, the priests shall offer your holocausts upon the altar along with the peace offering. And I will be pleased with you, says the Lord God.”
Ụbọchị nke asatọ, na nʼụbọchị ọbụla so ya, ndị nchụaja ga-achụ aja nsure ọkụ nʼebe ịchụ aja, chụọkwa aja udo. Mgbe ahụ, aga m anabatakwa unu. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.”
