Ezekiel 42
1 And he brought me forth into the outer court, the way toward the north; and he brought me to the cells that were over against the separate place and which were over against the building, toward the north,
Kisha yule mtu akanituma kwenda ua wa nje upande wa kaskazini, akanileta kwenye vyumba mbele ya ua wa nje na ukuta wa nje kaskazini.
2 before the length of the hundred cubits: the entry was on the north, and the breadth was fifty cubits,
Hivyo vyumba vilikuwa dhiraa mia moja karibu na mbele yake na dhiraa hamsini upana.
3 over against the twenty [cubits] that pertained to the inner court, and over against the pavement that pertained to the outer court; there was gallery against gallery in the third [story];
Baadhi ya hivyo vyumba vilielekea ua wa ndani na vilikuwa na dhiraa ishirini kutoka patakatifu. Kulikuwa na vyumba vitatu vinavyolingana, na kingine juu kilichokuwa kimetazama chini kuelekea kingine vilikuwa vimefunguliwa, vilikuwa na pakutokea. Baadhi ya vyumba vilielekea nje kwenye ua wa nje.
4 and before the cells was a walk of ten cubits in breadth, [and] a way of a hundred cubits inward; and their entries were toward the north.
Njia dhiraa kumi upana dhiraa mia moja urefu kueleikea mbele ya vyumba. Milango ya vyumba ilikuwa mbele kaskazini.
5 And the upper cells, because the galleries encroached on them, were shorter than the lower, and than the middle-most of the building.
Lakini kumbi za juu zilikuwa ndogo, kwa ajili ya njia za kutembea zilichukua kutoka kwazo sehemu kubwa kulikuwa walivyofanya kwenye vyumba vya chini na katikati usawa wa jengo.
6 For they were in three [stories], but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts; therefore [the third story] was straitened more than the lowest and the middle-most from the ground.
Kwa kuwa orofa tatu hapakuwa na mihimili, kama zile nyua, ambazo zilikuwa na mihimili. Hivyo usawa wa vyumba vya juu vilikuwa sawa sawa katika kipimo cha kulinganisha na vyumba vya chini na usawa wa katikakati.
7 And the wall that was without, answering to the cells, toward the outer court in the front of the cells, its length was fifty cubits:
Ukuta wa nje karibu na vyumba mbele ya ua wa nje, ua uliokuwa mbele ya vyumba. Huo ukuta ulikuwa dhiraa hamsini urefu.
8 for the length of the cells that were against the outer court was fifty cubits; but behold, before the temple it was a hundred cubits.
Urefu wa vyumba vya ua wa nje ulikuwa dhiraa hamsini, na vyumba vilivyokuwa vimeelekea patakatifu vilikuwa dhiraa mia moja urefu.
9 And under these cells was the entry from the east, as one goeth into them from the outer court.
Kulikuwa na mahali pa kuingilia kwenye vyumba vidogo zaidi kutoka upande mashariki, kuingia kutoka ua wa nje.
10 In the breadth of the wall of the court toward the south, before the separate place, and before the building, were cells;
Karibu na ukuta wa ua wa nje juu ya upande wa mgaribi pa ua wa ndani, mbele ya patakatifu pa ua wa nje, pia kulikuwa na vyumba na njia ya mbele yao.
11 and a passage before them, like the appearance of the cells that were toward the north, according to their length, according to their breadth and all their goings out, and according to their fashions, and according to their doors.
zilikuwa kama umbo la vyumba kwa upande wa kaskazini. Zilikuwa urefu ule ule na upana na matokeo yale yale na mipangilio na madirisha.
12 And according to the doors of the cells that were toward the south there was a door at the head of the way, the way directly before the corresponding wall toward the east as one entereth into them.
Kwa upande wa kusini kulikuwa na madirisha kwenye vyumba ambavyo vilikuwa kama yale yaliyokuwa upande wa kaskazini. Aya iliyokuwa ndani ilikuwa na mlango kwenye kichwa chake, na njia ilifunguliwa kwenye vyumba tafauti. Upande mashariki kulikuwa na malango wa njia kwenye njia mwishoni.
13 And he said unto me, The north cells [and] the south cells, which are before the separate place, they are holy cells, where the priests that come near unto Jehovah shall eat the most holy things; there shall they lay the most holy things, both the oblation and the sin-offering and the trespass-offering: for the place is holy.
Kisha yule mtu akanambia, “Vyumba vya kaskazini na vyumba vya kusini vilivyokuwa mbele ya ua wa nje ni vyumba vitakatifu amabapo makuhani wafanyao kazi karibu sana na Yahwe waweze kula chakula kitakatifu sana. Wataweka vitu vitakatifu sana-sadaka ya chakula, sadaka ya dhambi, na sadaka ya hatia-kwa kuwa hapa ni mahali patakatifu.
14 When the priests enter in, they shall not go forth from the sanctuary into the outer court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister, for they are holy; and they shall put on other garments, and shall approach to that which is for the people.
Wakati makuhani watakapoingia hapo, wasitoke nje ya mahali patakatifu kwa ua wa nje, bila kuweka mavazi karibu mahali wahudumupo, kwa kuwa hapa ni patakatifu. Hivyo watavalia mahali pengine nguo kabla ya kwenda karibu na watu.”
15 And when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate whose front was toward the east, and measured [the enclosure] round about.
Yule mtu akamaliza kupima ndani ya nyumba na kisha akanichukua nje ya lango lililokuwa limeelekea magharibi na kuzipima sehemu zote zilizokuwa zimepazunguka hapo.
16 He measured the east side with the measuring-reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring-reed round about.
Akaupima upande wa mashariki na fimbo ya kupimia-dhiraa mia tano kwa fimbo ya kupimia.
17 He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring-reed round about.
akaupima upande wa kaskazini-dhiraa mia tano na fimbo ya kupimia.
18 He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring-reed.
Pia akaupima upande wa kusini dhraa mia tano na fimbo ya kupimia.
19 He turned about to the west side, [and] measured five hundred reeds with the measuring-reed.
Pia akageuka na kuupima upande wa magharibi dhiraa mia tano kwa fimbo ya kupimia,
20 He measured it on the four sides; it had a wall round about, five hundred long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.
Akaipima pande nne. Ilikuwa na ukuta umeizunguka ilikuwa dhiraa mia tano urefu, na dhiraa mia tano upana, kulitenganisha umbo takatifu kutoka ambapo ni pa kawada.
