< Ezekiel 46 >

1 Thus says the Lord God: “The gate of the inner court which looks toward the east shall be closed for the six days on which work is done. Then, on the Sabbath day, it shall be opened. But also on the day of the new moon, it shall be opened.
‌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 from outside, by the way of the vestibule of the gate, and he shall stand at the threshold of the gate. And the priests shall offer his holocaust and his peace offerings. And he shall adore upon the threshold of the gate, and then depart. But the gate shall not be closed until 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 adore at the entrance of the same gate, on the Sabbaths and on the new moons, in the sight of 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 Now this holocaust, which the prince shall offer to the Lord on the Sabbath day, shall be six immaculate lambs, and one immaculate ram.
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 The sacrifice shall be one ephah for each ram. But for the lambs, the sacrifice shall be whatever his hand shall give. And there shall be one hin of oil for each ephah.
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 Then, on the day of the new moon, he shall offer one immaculate calf from the herd. Both the six lambs and the rams shall be immaculate.
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 he shall offer the sacrifice of one ephah for each calf, and also one ephah for each ram. But for the lambs, it shall be just as his hand will find. And there shall be one hin of oil for each ephah.
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 will enter, let him enter by the way of the vestibule of the gate, and let him go out by the same way.
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 when the people of the land will enter in the sight of the Lord on the solemnities, whoever enters by the north gate so that he may adore, shall depart by the way of the south gate. And whoever enters by the way of the south gate shall depart by the way of the north gate. He shall not return by way of the gate through which he entered. Instead, he shall depart from the direction opposite to 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 But the prince in their midst shall enter when they enter, and he shall depart when they depart.
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 during the feasts and the solemnities, there shall be the sacrifice of one ephah for each calf, and one ephah for each ram. But for the lambs, the sacrifice shall be just as his hand will find. And there shall be one hin of oil for each ephah.
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 But when the prince will offer a voluntary holocaust or a voluntary peace offering to the Lord, the gate which looks toward the east shall be opened to him. And he shall offer his holocaust and his peace offerings, just as is usually done on the Sabbath day. And he shall depart, and the gate shall be closed 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 daily he shall offer, as a holocaust to the Lord, an immaculate lamb of the same age. He shall offer it always in the morning.
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 offer as a sacrifice with it, morning after morning, one sixth part of an ephah, and one third part of a hin of oil, to be mixed with the fine flour, as a sacrifice to the Lord, by a continual and everlasting 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 He shall offer the lamb and the sacrifice and the oil, morning after morning, as an everlasting holocaust.
‌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 grants a gift to any of his sons, the inheritance of it will go to his sons; they shall possess it 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 grants a legacy from his inheritance to one of his servants, it shall be his only until the year of remission, and then it shall be returned to the prince. For his inheritance shall go to his sons.
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 not take from the inheritance of the people by force, nor from their possession. Instead, from his own possession, he shall give an inheritance to his sons, so that my people will not be scattered, each 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 led me in by the entrance which was at the side of the gate, into the storerooms of the sanctuary for the priests, which looked toward the north. And there was a place there which verged toward the west.
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 will cook the offering for sin and the offering for trespasses. Here, they shall cook the sacrifice, so that they need not carry it to the outer court, and so that the people may be sanctified.”
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 led me away to the outer court, and he led me around by the four corners of the court. And behold, there was a little atrium at the corner of the court; a little atrium was at each corner 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 At the four corners of the court, little atriums were positioned, forty cubits in length, and thirty in width; each of the four were of the same measure.
‌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 was a wall all around, encircling the four little atriums. And kitchens had been constructed under the porticos on all sides.
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: “This is the house of the kitchens, in which the ministers of the house of the Lord will cook the victims 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.”
