< Ezekiel 40 >

1 In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, the tenth day of the month, the fourteenth year after the city was destroyed: in the selfsame day the hand of the Lord was upon me, and he brought me thither.
Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano wa gũtahwo gwitũ, kĩambĩrĩria-inĩ kĩa mwaka ũcio, mũthenya wa ikũmi wa mweri ũcio, naguo nĩ mwaka wa ikũmi na ĩna kuuma rĩrĩa itũũra inene rĩatunyanirwo, mũthenya o ũcio-rĩ, guoko kwa Jehova kwarĩ igũrũ rĩakwa, nake akĩndwara itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene.
2 In the visions of God he brought me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain: upon which there was as the building of a city, bending towards the south.
Ndĩ thĩinĩ wa cioneki cia Ngai nĩandwarire bũrũri wa Isiraeli, akĩnjiga kĩrĩma-igũrũ kĩraaya mũno, na mwena wakĩo wa gũthini kwarĩ na mĩako yoonekaga ĩtariĩ ta itũũra inene.
3 And he brought me in thither, and behold a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed in his hand, and he stood in the gate.
Nake akĩndwara ho, na niĩ ngĩona mũndũ, na mũhianĩre wake watariĩ ta gĩcango; nake aarũngiĩ itoonyero-inĩ arĩ na rũrigi rwa gatani, na rũthanju rwa gũthima guoko-inĩ gwake.
4 And this man said to me: Son of man, see with thy eyes, and hear with thy ears, and set thy heart upon all that I shall shew thee: for thou art brought hither that they may be shewn to thee: declare all that thou seest, to the house of Israel.
Nake mũndũ ũcio akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, ta rora na maitho maku, na ũigue na matũ maku, na ũrũmbũiye wega maũndũ mothe marĩa ngũkuonia, nĩgũkorwo nĩkĩo gĩtũmĩte wee ũrehwo gũkũ. Ĩra andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli maũndũ mothe marĩa ũkuona.”
5 And behold there was a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed of six cubits and a handbreadth: and he measured the breadth of the building one reed, and the height one reed.
Ningĩ nĩndonire rũthingo rwathiũrũrũkĩirie hekarũ mĩena yothe. Rũthanju rwa gũthima rũrĩa rwarĩ guoko-inĩ kwa mũndũ ũcio rwarĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono ĩtandatũ. Nake nĩathimire rũthingo; wariĩ waruo warĩ wa mĩkono ĩtandatũ, na mĩkono ĩtandatũ kũraiha na igũrũ.
6 And he came to the gate that looked toward the east, and he went up the steps thereof: and he measured the breadth of the threshold of the gate one reed, that is, one threshold was one reed broad:
Agĩcooka agĩthiĩ kĩhingo-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩangʼetheire mwena wa irathĩro. Akĩambata na ngathĩ ciakĩo, na agĩthima hingĩro ya kĩhingo; yarĩ ya mĩkono ĩtandatũ gũtoonya na thĩinĩ.
7 And every little chamber was one reed long, and one reed broad: and between the little chambers were five cubits:
Natuo tũnyũmba twa arangĩri twarĩ twa mĩkono ĩtandatũ kũraiha, na mĩkono ĩtandatũ kwarama, na itĩĩna rĩa kuuma kanyũmba kamwe nginya karĩa kangĩ rĩarĩ rĩa mĩkono ĩtano. Nayo hingĩro ya kĩhingo kĩu kĩariganĩtie na gĩthaku kĩrĩa kĩangʼetheire hekarũ, nakĩo kĩarĩ kĩa mĩkono ĩtandatũ gũtoonya na thĩinĩ.
8 And the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within, was one reed.
Ningĩ agĩthima gĩthaku kĩrĩa kĩangʼetheire hekarũ;
9 And he measured the porch of the gate eight cubits, and the front thereof two cubits: and the porch of the gate was inward.
nakĩo kĩarĩ kĩa mĩkono ĩnana gũtoonya na thĩinĩ. Gĩthaku kĩu kĩarĩ na itugĩ igĩrĩ, O gĩtugĩ kĩarĩ na wariĩ wa mĩkono ĩĩrĩ. Nakĩo gĩthaku kĩu kĩangʼetheire hekarũ.
10 And the little chambers of the gate that looked eastward were three on this side, and three on that side: all three were of one measure, and the fronts of one measure, on both parts.
Thĩinĩ wa kĩhingo kĩa mwena wa irathĩro haarĩ na tũnyũmba tũtatũ twa arangĩri o mwena; na tuothe tũtatũ twarĩ na ithimo ciiganaine, naguo mwena wa na mbere wa thingo cia tũnyũmba twa arangĩri warĩ wa ithimo ciiganaine.
11 And he measured the breadth of the threshold of the gate ten cubits: and the length of the gate thirteen cubits:
Ningĩ agĩthima wariĩ wa njĩra ĩyo ya itoonyero rĩu, nayo yarĩ ya mĩkono ikũmi, na ũraihu wayo warĩ wa mĩkono ikũmi na ĩtatũ.
12 And the border before the little chambers one cubit: and one cubit was the border on both sides: and the little chambers were six cubits on this side and that side.
Mwena wa na mbere wa o kanyũmba ka arangĩri haarĩ na rũthingo rwarĩ rwa mũkono ũmwe kũraiha na igũrũ, natuo tũnyũmba tũu twa arangĩri twarĩ twa mĩkono ĩtandatũ mĩena yothe ĩna.
13 And he measured the gate from the roof of one little chamber to the roof of another, in breadth five and twenty cubits: door against door.
Ningĩ agĩthima itoonyero rĩu arutĩtie kuuma mũthia wa na thuutha wa rũthingo rwa kanyũmba kamwe ka arangĩri nginya mũthia wa na thuutha wa kanyũmba karĩa kaangʼethanĩire nako; itĩĩna rĩu rĩarĩ rĩa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano kuuma mwanya ũmwe wa karũthingo nginya mwanya ũrĩa waringanĩte naguo.
14 He made also fronts of sixty cubits: and to the front the court of the gate on every side round about.
Ningĩ agĩthima mĩena ya na mbere ya thingo gũthiũrũrũka mĩena yeerĩ ya na thĩinĩ ya itoonyero, na yarĩ ya mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtandatũ. Gĩthimo kĩu gĩakinyĩte gĩthaku-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩangʼetheire nja ĩyo.
15 And before the face of the gate which reached even to the face of the porch of the inner gate, fifty cubits.
Itĩĩna rĩa kuuma itoonyero rĩa kĩhingo nginya mũthia ũrĩa ũngĩ wa gĩthaku kĩarĩo warĩ wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtano.
16 And slanting windows in the little chambers, and in their fronts, which were within the gate on every side round about: and in like, manner there wore also in the porches windows round about within, and before the fronts the representation of palm trees.
Tũnyũmba tũu twa arangĩri hamwe na thingo icio ciarĩ thĩinĩ wa itoonyero rĩu nĩ gwatũrĩkĩtio mĩanya mĩceke karũthingo-inĩ ka igũrũ mĩena yothe, o ũndũ ũmwe na gĩthaku; tũmĩanya tũu tuothe twerekeire na thĩinĩ. Ũthiũ wa thingo icio nĩwagemetio na mĩkĩndũ.
17 And he brought me into the outward court, and behold there were chambers, and a pavement of stone in the court round about: thirty chambers encompassed the pavement.
Ningĩ akĩndwara nja ĩrĩa ya nyumĩrĩra. Ngĩona hau nĩ haarĩ na tũnyũmba, na nĩ haarĩtwo mahiga makarigiicĩria nja ĩyo yothe; nĩ haarĩ na tũnyũmba mĩrongo ĩtatũ twakĩtwo tũtwaranĩte na hau haarĩtwo mahiga.
18 And the pavement in the front of the gates according to the length of the gates was lower.
Handũ hau haarĩtwo mahiga haarĩ mĩena-inĩ ya matoonyero macio, naguo wariĩ waho na ũraihu nĩciaiganaine; hau nĩho haarĩtwo mahiga mwena wa mũhuro.
19 And he measured the breadth from the face of the lower gate to the front of the inner court without, a hundred cubits to the east, and to the north.
Ningĩ agĩthima itĩĩna rĩa kuuma mwena wa na thĩinĩ wa kĩhingo kĩa mũhuro nginya mwena wa na nja wa nja ya na thĩinĩ; yarĩ mĩkono igana mwena wa irathĩro, o ũndũ ũmwe na mwena wa gathigathini.
20 He measured also both the length and the breadth of the gate of the outward court, which looked northward.
Ningĩ agĩthima ũraihu na wariĩ wa kĩhingo kĩrĩa kĩerekeire mwena wa gathigathini, gĩa gũthiĩ nja ĩyo ya nyumĩrĩra.
21 And the little chambers thereof three on this side, and three on that side: and the front thereof, and the porch thereof according to the measure of the former gate, fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
Tũnyũmba twakĩo twa arangĩri, tũtatũ o mwena, na thingo ciakĩo, o na gĩthaku gĩakĩo ciarĩ na ithimo ciaiganaine na cia itoonyero rĩu rĩa mbere. Kĩarĩ kĩa ũraihu wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtano, na wariĩ wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano.
22 And the windows thereof, and the porch, and the gravings according to the measure of the gate that looked to the east, and they went up to it by seven steps, and a porch was before it.
Mĩanya yakĩo, na gĩthaku gĩakĩo na magemio ma mĩkĩndũ ciarĩ na ithimo o ta cia kĩhingo kĩrĩa kĩerekeire mwena wa irathĩro. Ngathĩ ya makinya mũgwanja yaambatĩte nginya ho, nakĩo gĩthaku gĩakĩo gĩkangʼethanĩra nayo.
23 And the gate of the inner court was over against the gate of the north, and that of the ease: and he measured from gate to gate a hundred cubits.
Nĩ haarĩ na kĩhingo gĩa gũtoonya nja ya na thĩinĩ, kũngʼethanĩra na kĩhingo gĩa gathigathini o ta ũrĩa kwarĩ na kĩhingo mwena wa irathĩro. Nake agĩthima itĩĩna rĩa kuuma kĩhingo kĩmwe nginya kĩrĩa kĩangʼethanĩire nakĩo; narĩo itĩĩna rĩu rĩarĩ rĩa mĩkono igana.
24 And he brought me out to the way of the south, and behold the gate that looked to the south: and he measured the front thereof, and the porch thereof according to the former measures.
Ningĩ akĩndongoria na mwena wa gũthini, na niĩ ngĩona kĩhingo kĩerekeire mwena wa gũthini. Nake agĩthima itingĩ ciakĩo na gĩthaku gĩakĩo, nacio nĩciaiganainie ithimo na icio ingĩ.
25 And the windows thereof, and the porches round about, as the other windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
Itoonyero rĩu na gĩthaku kĩarĩo ciarĩ na tũmĩanya tũceke mĩena yothe, twatariĩ ta mĩanya ya ihingo icio ingĩ. Itoonyero rĩu rĩarĩ rĩa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtano kũraiha, na mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano kwarama.
26 And there were seven steps to go up to it: and a porch before the doors thereof: and there were graven palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side in the front thereof.
Ningĩ ngathĩ ya makinya mũgwanja nĩyaambatĩte ĩgakinya kĩhingo-inĩ kĩu, nakĩo gĩthaku gĩakĩo kĩangʼethanĩire na nja ya hekarũ; thingo ciakĩo iria ciarĩ o mwena wa njĩra ĩyo nĩciagemetio na mĩkĩndũ.
27 And there was a gate of the inner court towards the south: and he measured from gate to gate towards the south, a hundred cubits.
Hau nja ya na thĩinĩ o na ho nĩ haarĩ kĩhingo kĩerekeire mwena wa gũthini, nake agĩthima kuuma kĩhingo-inĩ kĩu nginya kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa nyumĩrĩra kĩa mwena wa gũthini; itĩĩna rĩu rĩarĩ rĩa mĩkono igana.
28 And he brought me into the inner court at the south gate: and he measured the gate according to the former measures.
Ningĩ akĩnginyia nja ya na thĩinĩ tũtoonyeire kĩhingo kĩa mwena wa gũthini, nake agĩthima kĩhingo kĩa mwena ũcio; nakĩo nĩkĩaiganainie ithimo na ihingo icio ingĩ.
29 The little chamber thereof, and the front thereof, and the porch thereof with the same measures: and the windows thereof, and the porch thereof round about it was fifty cubits in length, and five and twenty cubits in breadth.
Tũnyũmba twakĩo twa arangĩri, na thingo ciakĩo, na gĩthaku gĩakĩo nĩciaiganainie ithimo na icio ingĩ. Itoonyero rĩu na gĩthaku kĩarĩo ciarĩ na mĩanya mĩena yothe. Itoonyero rĩu rĩarĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtano, na wariĩ wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano.
30 And the porch round about was five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad.
Ithaku cia matoonyero marĩa maarĩ hakuhĩ na nja ya na thĩinĩ ciarĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano, na wariĩ wa mĩkono ĩtano.
31 And the porch thereof to the outward court, and the palm trees thereof in the front: and there were eight steps to go up to It.
Gĩthaku gĩakĩo kĩangʼetheire nja ĩyo ya nyumĩrĩra; nacio itingĩ ciakĩo nĩciagemetio na mĩkĩndũ, na ngathĩ ya makinya manana nĩyaambatĩte ĩgakinya ho.
32 And he brought me into the inner court by the way of the east: and he measured the gate according to the former measures.
Ningĩ akĩnginyia nja ya na thĩinĩ mwena wa irathĩro, nake agĩthima itoonyero rĩu; narĩo nĩrĩaiganainie ithimo na matoonyero macio mangĩ.
33 The little chamber thereof, and the front thereof, and the porch thereof as before: and the windows thereof, and the porches thereof round about it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
Tũnyũmba twakĩo twa arangĩri, na thingo ciakĩo, na gĩthaku gĩakĩo nĩciaiganainie ithimo na icio ingĩ. Itoonyero rĩu na gĩthaku kĩarĩo ciarĩ na mĩanya mĩena yothe. Narĩo itoonyero rĩarĩ rĩa ũraihu wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtano, na wariĩ wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano.
34 And the porch thereof, that is, of the outward court: and the graven palm trees in the front thereof on this side and on that side: and the going up thereof was by eight steps.
Gĩthaku gĩakĩo kĩangʼetheire nja ĩyo ya nyumĩrĩra; nacio itingĩ ciakĩo nĩciagemetio na mĩkĩndũ mĩena yeerĩ, na ngathĩ ya makinya manana yaambatĩte ĩgakinya ho.
35 And he brought me into the gate that looked to the north: and he measured according to the former measures.
Ningĩ agĩcooka akĩnginyia kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa mwena wa gathigathini, nake agĩthima kĩhingo kĩu. Nakĩo nĩkĩaiganainie ithimo na ihingo icio ingĩ,
36 The little chamber thereof, and the front thereof, and the porch thereof, and the windows thereof round about it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
o ũndũ ũmwe na tũnyũmba twakĩo twa arangĩri, na thingo ciakĩo, na gĩthaku gĩakĩo, nakĩo kĩarĩ na mĩanya mĩena yothe. Kĩhingo kĩu kĩarĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtano, na wariĩ wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano.
37 And the porch thereof looked to the outward court: and the graving of palm trees in the front thereof was on this side and on that side: and the going up to it was by eight steps.
Gĩthaku gĩakĩo kĩangʼetheire nja ĩyo ya nyumĩrĩra; nacio itingĩ icio ciakĩo nĩciagemetio na mĩkĩndũ mĩena yeerĩ, na ngathĩ ya makinya manana yaambatĩte ĩgakinya ho.
38 And at every chamber was a door in the forefronts of the gates: there they washed the holocaust.
Ningĩ hau gĩthaku-inĩ, o itoonyero-inĩ rĩa na thĩinĩ, nĩ haarĩ na kanyũmba kaarĩ na mũromo, na hau nĩho maruta ma njino maathambagĩrio.
39 And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side: that the holocaust, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering might be slain thereon.
Hau gĩthaku-inĩ gĩa itoonyero nĩ haarĩ metha igĩrĩ o mwena, na igũrũ rĩacio nĩho haathĩnjagĩrwo nyamũ cia magongona ma njino, na magongona ma mehia, o na magongona ma mahĩtia.
40 And on the outward side, which goeth up to the entry of the gate that looketh toward the north, were two tables. and at the other side before the porch of the gate were two tables.
Mwena-inĩ wa rũthingo rwa na nja rwa gĩthaku kĩu gĩa itoonyero rĩu, hakuhĩ na ngathĩ ya kwambata itoonyero-inĩ rĩa kĩhingo kĩa mwena wa gathigathini nĩ haarĩ na metha igĩrĩ, na mwena ũcio ũngĩ wa ngathĩ naho nĩ haarĩ na metha ingĩ igĩrĩ.
41 Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side: at the sides of the gate were eight tables, upon which they slew the victims.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio haarĩ na metha inya mwena ũmwe wa itoonyero, na inya mwena ũcio ũngĩ, ciothe ciarĩ metha inyanya, na igũrũ rĩacio nĩho haathĩnjagĩrwo nyamũ cia magongona.
42 And the four tables for the holocausts were made of square stones: one cubit and a half long, and one cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high: to lay the vessels upon, in which the holocaust and the victim is slain.
Ningĩ haarĩ na metha inya cia mahiga maicũhie nĩ ũndũ wa maruta ma njino, o ĩmwe ũraihu wa mũkono ũmwe na nuthu, na wariĩ wa mũkono ũmwe na nuthu, na mũkono ũmwe kũraiha na igũrũ. Igũrũ rĩacio nĩho haigagĩrĩrwo indo cia wĩra wa gũthĩnja nyamũ cia maruta ma njino, na magongona marĩa mangĩ.
43 And the borders of them were of one handbreadth, turned inwards round about: and upon the tables was the flesh of the offering.
Tũhocio twa njibe igĩrĩ, o kamwe karĩ na ũraihu wa wariĩ wa rũhĩ, twathecereirio rũthingo-inĩ mĩena yothe. Metha icio ciarĩ cia kũigĩrĩrwo nyama cia maruta macio.
44 And without the inner gate were the chambers of the singing men in the inner court, which was on the side of the gate that looketh to the north: and their prospect was towards the south, one at the side of the east gate, which looketh toward the north.
Hau nja ya kĩhingo gĩa thĩinĩ, kũu nja-inĩ ya na thĩinĩ, nĩ kwarĩ na tũnyũmba twĩrĩ, kamwe mwena wa kĩhingo gĩa gathigathini kerekeire mwena wa gũthini, na kangĩ mwena wa kĩhingo gĩa gũthini kerekeire mwena wa gathigathini.
45 And he said to me: This chamber, which looketh toward the south shall be for the priests that watch in the wards of the temple.
Nake akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Kanyũmba kau karorete mwena wa gũthini-rĩ, nĩ ka athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa maikaragia hekarũ,
46 But the chamber that looketh towards the north shall be for the priests that watch over the ministry of the altar. These are the sons of Sadoc, who among the sons of Levi, come near to the Lord, to minister to him.
nako kanyũmba kau karorete gathigathini-rĩ, nĩ ka athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa maikaragia kĩgongona. Aya nĩo ariũ a Zadoku, na no-o Alawii arĩa mangĩthengerera Jehova nĩguo matungatage marĩ mbere yake.”
47 And he measured the court a hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits broad foursquare: and the altar that was before the face of the temple.
Ningĩ agĩthima nja ĩyo: Mĩena yothe ĩna nĩyaiganaine, yarĩ na mĩkono igana kũraiha, na mĩkono igana kwarama. Nakĩo kĩgongona kĩarĩ hau mbere ya hekarũ.
48 And he brought me into the porch of the temple: and he measured the porch five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side.
Ningĩ akĩnginyia gĩthaku-inĩ kĩa hekarũ, na agĩthima itingĩ icio cia gĩthaku kĩu; o mwena ciarĩ na wariĩ wa mĩkono ĩtano. Wariĩ wa itoonyero rĩu warĩ na mĩkono ikũmi na ĩna, na thingo ciarĩ na wariĩ wa mĩkono ĩtatũ o mwena.
49 And the length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits, and there were eight, steps to go up to it. And there were pillars in the fronts: one on this side, and another on that side.
Gĩthaku kĩu kĩarĩ na wariĩ wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, na mĩkono ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ kuuma mbere nginya thuutha. Ningĩ hau nĩ haarĩ na ngathĩ cia kwambata ho, na nĩ haarĩ na itugĩ, o kĩmwe mwena ũmwe wa itingĩ icio.
