< Ezekiel 44 >

1 And he turned me back, toward the way of the gate of the outer sanctuary, which looked toward the east. And it was closed.
Nendese’e nibalike mb’an-dalambey alafe’ i toetse miavake miatrek’ atiñanañey mb’eo iraho; f’ie nirindriñe.
2 And the Lord said to me: “This gate will be closed; it will not be opened. And man shall not cross through it. For the Lord, the God of Israel, has entered through it, and it shall be closed
Le hoe t’Iehovà amako: Hagabeñe ty lalañe toy, tsy ho sokafeñe, le tsy himoak’ ama’e t’indaty; amy te fa nizilik’ ao t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele, aa le harindriñe izay.
3 to the prince. The prince himself will sit at it, so that he may eat bread before the Lord; he will enter by the way of the vestibule of the gate, and he will depart by the same way.”
I roandriañey avao ty hiambesatse ao hikama mahakama añatrefa’ Iehovà ty amy maha-roandriañe aze; hizilike mb’amy ana-piziliha’ i lalambeiy re, vaho ama’e ka ty hienga’e mb’eo.
4 And he led me in, along the way of the north gate, in the sight of the house. And I saw, and behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord. And I fell upon my face.
Nendese’e niary amy lalambey avaratsey iraho, mb’ añ’ aolo’ i kivohoy mb’eo; nenteako le indroke nandifotse i kivoho’ Iehovày ty enge’ Iehovà; vaho nibaboke an-tareheko.
5 And the Lord said to me: “Son of man, set within your heart, and see with your eyes, and hear with your ears all that I am speaking to you about all the ceremonies of the house of the Lord and about all its laws. And set your heart upon the ways of the temple, along all the exits of the sanctuary.
Le hoe t’Iehovà amako: O ana’ on­da­tio, arendreho soa, le isaho am-pihai­no naho janjiño an-dravembia ze he’e ho volañeko ama’o ty amo fañè’ i kivoho’ Iehovàio naho o fañòha’eo; aren­dreho o mete hampihovañe amy kivohoio, vaho o rarañe tsy himoak’ amy toetse miavakeio.
6 And you shall say to the house of Israel, which provokes me: Thus says the Lord God: Let all your wicked deeds be sufficient for you, O house of Israel.
Le saontsio ty hoe o mpiolao, i anjomba’ Israeley, inao ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Ry anjomba’ Israele, fonga ajihero o hakarapiloa’oo,
7 For you bring in foreign sons, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, so that they may be in my sanctuary and may defile my house. And you offer my bread, the fat, and the blood, yet you have broken my covenant by all your wicked deeds.
ty amy nampihova’o an-toeko miavake ao o ambahiny tsy nisavareñe añ’arofo naho tsy afak’ ofoke an-tsandriñeo, hañota-faly amy anjombakoy, ie nengae’o amako o hànekoo, ty safo’e naho ty lio’e. Tovo’ ze haloloañ’ iaby nivaliha’ areo amy fañinakoy;
8 And you have not observed the precepts of my sanctuary, yet you have stationed observers of my vigil in my sanctuary for yourselves.
vaho tsy namandroñe o raha masikoo; te mone nampivandroñe’ iareo ze nisatrie’ areo avao i toeko miavakey.
9 Thus says the Lord God: Any foreigner, any foreign son who is in the midst of the sons of Israel, who is uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall not enter into my sanctuary.
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà Talè: Tsy himoak’ amy toeko miavakey ty ambahiny tsy nisavareñe añ’arofo naho tsy afak’ ofok’ an-tsandriñe, amo renetane mitraok’ amo nte-Israeleo iabio.
10 And as for the Levites, they have withdrawn far away from me, in the errors of the sons of Israel, and they have gone astray from me after their idols, and they have borne their iniquity.
Le hivave ty lafa’ iareo o nte-Levy nihànkañe amakoo, ie nandifik’ amako t’Israele naho nandrìke mb’ amo samposampon-draha’ iareoo.
11 They will be caretakers in my sanctuary, and doorkeepers at the gates of the house, and ministers to the house. They will slay the holocausts and the victims of the people. And they will stand before them, so that they may minister to them.
Ho mpa­ñambiñe an-toeko miavake ao iereo, hisary o lalambein-kivohoo, hampikasokasok’ amy kibohokoy ao; handenta o engan-koroañeo naho o fisoroña’ ondatioo, hiatrake ondatio, hito­roñe iareo.
12 But because they ministered to them in the sight their idols, and they became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel, for this reason, I have lifted up my hand against them, says the Lord God, and they will bear their iniquity.
Amy te nitoroñe’ iareo aolo’ o saren’ drahare’ iareoo, naho ninjare bolokon-kakeo fampitsikapieñe i anjomba’ Israeley, le nizonjoeko haoke hoe t’Iehovà Talè, vaho ho vavè’ iereo o hakeo’ iareoo.
13 And they shall not draw near to me, so as to exercise the priesthood for me, and they shall not approach to any of my holy things, which are near the Holy of Holies. Instead, they will bear their shame and their wicked deeds, which they committed.
Tsy hitotok’ amako iereo, tsy hitoroñe ahy ho mpisoroñe, tsy hañarine o raha masikoo naho o raha loho miavakeo; fa hivave fisalarañe ty amo hatsivokarañe nanoe’ iereoo.
14 And I will make them doorkeepers of the house, for all its ministries and for all that will be done within it.
F’ie ho tendrèko ho mpigaritse i kivohokoy, naho hikotrokotrok’ ama’eo, ze hene kasokasoheñe ama’e ao.
15 But the priests and the Levites who are the sons of Zadok, who observed the ceremonies of my sanctuary when the sons of Israel went astray from me, these shall draw near to me, so that they may minister for me. And they shall stand in my sight, so that they may offer to me the fat and the blood, says the Lord God.
Fe o mpisoroñe nte-Levy ana’ i Tsadoke namandroñe i toeko miavakey, ie nandifik’ amako o nte-Israeleoo ro hitotok’ amako hitoroñ’ ahy, hijohañe añatrefako hañenga ty safo’e naho ty lio amako, hoe t’Iehovà Talè;
16 They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall draw near to my table, so that they may minister for me, and so that they may observe my ceremonies.
Ie ro himoak’ amy toeko miavakey ao, hitotok’ amy fandambañakoy hitoroñe ahy vaho hamandroñe o ahikoo.
17 And when they enter the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments. Neither shall anything woolen be placed over them, when they minister within the gates of the inner and the outer court.
Ie mizilik’ amo lalambein-kiririsa’ añateo, le hisikiñe lamba leny naho tsy ho amam-bolonañondry t’ie mitoloñe an-dalambein-kiririsa añate’e naho amy trañoy.
18 They shall have linen bands on their heads, and linen undergarments over their loins, and they shall not be girded so as to sweat.
Ho aman-tsabaka leny ty añambone’ iareo, naho koloty leny ty ambania’e; vaho tsy hisikiñe ze hahatera-liñetse.
19 And when they go forth to the outer court to the people, they shall strip off their vestments, in which they ministered, and they shall place them in the storeroom of the sanctuary, and they shall clothe themselves with other garments. And they shall not sanctify the people in their vestments.
Le ie miakatse mb’an-kiririsa alafe’e ao, mb’an-kiririsa ama’ ondaty mb’eo, le hafaha’ iareo hey o sikiñe nitoroñañeo naho halafike amo efetsefe miavakeo; le hiombe saroñe ila’e, tsy mone hampiavake ondatio amo siki’eo.
20 Now they shall not shave their heads, and they shall not grow long hair. Instead, they shall trim the hair of their heads.
Tsy hañara-doha iereo, naho tsy hapoke ho lava o maroi’eo; fe ho tomotomoreñe o maroin’ añambone’eo.
21 And no priest shall drink wine, when he will be entering into the inner court.
Tsy hinon-divay ty mpisoroñe t’ie mizilik’ an-kiririsa añate’e ao.
22 And they shall not take as wife a widow or one who has been divorced. Instead, they shall take virgins from the offspring of the house of Israel. But they may also take a widow, if she is the widow of a priest.
Tsy hañenga vantotse iereo, ndra ty narian-dahy, fa somondrara tariran’ anjomba’ Israele ndra ty vantotse remavoi’ ty mpisoroñe.
23 And they shall teach my people the difference between holy and defiled, and they shall distinguish for them between clean and unclean.
Haò’ iereo ondatikoo ty hañambahañe ty masiñe ami’ty tsotra, vaho hampandrendreheñe ty faly naho ty malio.
24 And when there has been a controversy, they shall stand in my judgments, and they shall judge. They shall observe my laws and my precepts, in all my solemnities, and they shall sanctify my Sabbaths.
Ie eo ty fandierañe le hizaka’ iareo; hizaka amo fepèkoo; naho hañambeñe Hake naho o fañèko amo hene famantañakoo vaho ho masiñe’ iereo o Sabatekoo.
25 And they shall not enter to a dead person, lest they be defiled, except to father or mother, or son or daughter, or brother, or to a sister who does not have another man. By these, they may become unclean.
Tsy haniva vatañe iereo ami’ty hizilihañe an-dolo ao; f’ie mahazo mandeo-batañe naho rae ndra rene, ana-dahy naho anak’ampela, vaho rahalahy ndra rahavave tsy manambaly.
26 And after he will have been cleansed, they shall number for him seven days.
Ie malio, le hañiahañe fito andro.
27 And on the day when he enters into the sanctuary, to the inner court, so that he may minister to me in the sanctuary, he shall make an offering because of his offense, says the Lord God.
Ie amy andro iziliha’e i toetse miavakey, an-kiririsa’ añate’e ao, hitoloña’e amy toetse miavakey, le hengae’e i engan-kakeo’ey, hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
28 And there shall be no inheritance for them. I am their inheritance. And you shall not give them any possession in Israel. For I am their possession.
Izay ty ho lova iareo; Izaho o lova’ iareoo fa tsy ho tolorañe fanañañe e Israele ao; Izaho ro fanaña’ iareo.
29 They shall eat the victim both for sin and for offenses. And every vowed offering in Israel shall be theirs.
Ho kamae’ iereo ty enga-mahakama, naho ty engan-kakeo, naho ty engan-tahiñe, vaho ho a iareo ze raha natokañe e Israele ao.
30 And the first-fruits of all the firstborn, and all the libations out of all that is offered, shall belong to the priests. And you shall give the first-fruits of your foods to the priest, so that he may return a blessing to your house.
Le ho a o mpisoroñeo ze hene karazan-doha-voa, naho ze fonga enga ndra inoñe ty karaza’e boak’amo enga’ areo iabio; hatolo’ areo amo mpisoroñeo ka ty loha-voa fanoñaha’ areo, soa te hipetak’ añ’anjomba’ areo ty fañanitsiñe.
31 The priests shall not consume anything which has died on its own, or which was seized by a beast, whether from the fowl or the cattle.”
Tsy ho kamae’ o mpisoroñeo ty raha nimate boboke ndra rinimitse, he voroñe ke biby.
