< Ezekiel 46 >

1 Thus saith the Lord God: The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east, shall be shut the six days, on which work is done; but on the sabbath day it shall be opened, yea and on the day of the new moon it shall be opened.
Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Lango la uzio wa ndani, linaloelekea mashariki, litafungwa kwa mda wa siku sita za kazi, lakini katika siku za Sabato litakuwa wazi, na katika siku ya mwezi mpya litafunguliwa.
2 And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate from without, 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 shall go out: but the gate shall not be shut till the evening.
Mwana wa mfalme ataingia kwa kutumia lango la njia ya nyuma ya varanda upande wa nje, na atasimama mbele ya muhimili wa mwimo wa lango la ndani wakati makuhani wakiwa wakitengeza sadaka ya kuteketezwa na sadaka ya amani. Kisha ataabudu kwenye kizingiti cha lango la ndani na kutoka nje, lakini lango halitakuwa linafungwa hadi jioni.
3 And the people of the land shall adore at the door of that gate before the Lord on the sabbaths, and on the new moons.
Watu wa nchi pia wataabudu mbele ya Yahwe kwenye hili lango la kuingilia katika siku ya Sabato na siku mpya za mwezi.
4 And the holocaust that the prince shall offer to the Lord on the sabbath day, shall be six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish.
Sadaka ya kuteketezwa ambayo mwana wa mfalme aitoayo kwa Yahwe katika siku ya Sabato itakuwa wanakondoo sita wasiokuwa na dosari na kondoo dume asiyekuwa na dosari.
5 And the sacrifice of an ephi for a ram: but for the lambs what sacrifice his hand shall allow: and a hin of oil for every ephi.
Sadaka ya unga pamoja na kondoo dume itakuwa efa moja, na sadaka ya unga pamoja na wanakondoo kiasi awezacho kutoa, na hini moja ya mafuta pamoja na kila efa ya unga.
6 And on the day of the new moon a calf of the herd without blemish: and the six lambs, and the rams shall be without blemish.
Katika siku ya mwezi mpya atatoa ng'ombe mchanga asiyekuwa na dosari kutoka kuchungwa, wanakondoo sita, na kondoo asyekuwa na dosari.
7 And he shall offer in sacrifice an ephi for a calf, an ephi also for a ram: but for the lambs, as his hand shall find: and a hin of oil for every ephi.
Atatengeneza sadaka ya unga ya efa moja kwa ajili ya ng'ombe na efa moja kwa ajili ya kondoo, na kwa kiasi awezacho kukitoa kwa ajili ya wanakondoo, na hini ya mafuta kwa kila efa ya unga.
8 And when the prince is to go in, let him go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and let him go out the same way.
Wakati mwana wa mfalme atakapokuwa anaingia kwa njia ya lango lenye varanda, ataondoka kwa njia hiyo hiyo.
9 But when the people of the land shall go in before the Lord in the solemn feasts, he that goeth in by the north gate to adore, shall go out by the way of the south gate: and he that; goeth in by the way of the south gate, shall go out by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go out at that over against it.
Lakini wakati watu wa nchi watakakuja kwa Yahwe katika sikukuu zilizoteuliwa, kila mmoja kuingia kupitia kwenye lango la kaskazini kuabudu ataondoka kupitia lango la kusini; na kila atakayeingillia kupitia lango la kusini atatoka kupitia lango la kaskazini. Hakuna atakayerudia kwa lile lango aliloingilia, kwa kuwa atatoka nje moja kwa moja.
10 And the prince in the midst of them, shall go in when they go in, and go out when they go out.
Mwana wa mfalme atakuwa kati yao; watakapoingia, ataingia ndani, na watakapoondoka, atatoka nao.
11 And in the fairs, and in the solemnities there shall be the sacrifice of an ephi to a calf, and an ephi to a ram: and to the lambs, the sacrifice shall be as his hand shall find: and a hin of oil to every ephi.
Kwenye sikukuu hizo, sadaka ya unga itakuwa efa moja ya unga kwa ng'ombe mmoja na efa moja kwa kondoo dume, na chochote atakacho kitoa pamoja na wanakondoo, na hini moja ya mafuta kwa kila efa.
12 But when the prince shall offer a voluntary holocaust, or voluntary peace offerings to the Lord: the gate that looketh towards the east shall be opened to him, and he shall offer his holocaust, and his peace offerings, as it is wont to be done on the sabbath day: and he shall go out, and the gate shall be shut after he is gone forth.
Wakati mwana wa mfalme atakapotoa sadaka atakayojisikia kutoa, labda sadaka ya kuteketezwa au sadaka ya amani kwa Yahwe, lango la kuelekea mashariki litafunguliwa kwa ajili yake. Atatoa sadaka yake ya kuteketezwa au sadaka ya amani kama afanyavyo siku ya Sabato. Kisha atatoka nje, na baada ya kutoka lango litafungwa.
13 And he shall offer every day for a holocaust to the Lord, a lamb of the same year without blemish: he shall offer it always in the morning.
Kwa kuongeza, utatoa mwanakondoo asiyekuwa na dosari mwenye umri wa mwaka mmoja kama sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa Yahwe kila siku; utafanya hivi kila asubuhi.
14 And he shall offer the sacrifice for it morning by morning, the sixth part of ephi: and the third part of a bin of oil be mingled with the fine hour: a to the Lord by ordinance continual and everlasting.
Utatoa sadaka ya unga pamoja nayo kila asubuhi, efa sita na sehemu ya tatu ya hini ya mafuta kuchanganya na sadaka ya unga kwa ajili ya Yahwe, kulingana na sheria ilivyo.
15 He shall offer the lamb, and the sacrifice, and the oil morning by morning: an everlasting holocaust.
Watandaa mwanakondoo, sadaka ya kuteketezwa, na mafuta kila asubuhi, sadaka ya kuteketezwa ya kudumu.
16 Thus saith the Lord God: If the prince give a gift to any of his sons: the inheritance of it shall go to his children, they shall possess it by inheritance.
Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Kama mwana wa mfalme akitoa zawadi kwa mmoja wa watoto wake, imekuwa urithi wake. Itakuwa mali ya mtoto wake, imekuwa urithi.
17 But if he give a legacy out of his inheritance to one of his servants, it shall be his until the year of release, and it shall return to the prince: but his inheritance shall go to his sons.
Lakini kama akimpatia zawadi kutoka urithi wake kwa mmoja wa watumishi wake, kisha itakuwa ya huyo mtumishi mpaka mwaka wa uhuru, na kisha itarudi kwa mwana wa mfalme. Urithi wake yamkini ukawa kwa ajili ya watoto wake.
18 And the prince shall not take of the people’s inheritance by violence, nor of their possession: but out of his own possession he shall give an inheritance to his sons: that my people be not dispersed every man from his possession.
Mwana wa mfalme hatawaondolea urithi wa watu kutoka kwenye mali zao wenyewe; ataandaa kwa ajili ya watoto wake mali ili kwamba watu wangu wasitawanyike, kila mtu kutoka mali kwenye yake mwenyewe.”
19 And he brought me in by the entry that was at the side of the gate, into the chambers of the sanctuary that were for the priests, which looked toward the north. And there was a place bending to the west.
Kisha yule mtu akaniletea kwenye lango la kutokea hata kwenye vyumba vitakatifu kwa ajili ya makuhani, vilivyokuwa vimeelekea kaskazini na tazama! Kulikuwa na sehemu mbele magharibi.
20 And he said to me: This is the place where the priests shall boil the sin offering, and the trespass offering: where they shall dress the sacrifice, that they may not bring it out into the outward court, and the people be sanctified.
Akanambia, “Hii ndio sehemu ambayo makuhani watakapo chemshia sadaka ya hatia na sadaka ya dhambi na walipookea sadaka ya unga. Wasilete sadaka nje ya uzio, kwa kuwa watu watatakaswa.”
21 And he brought me into the outward court, and he led me about by the four corners of the court: and behold there was a little court in the corner of the court, to every corner of the court there was a little court.
Kisha akanileta kwenye uzio wa nje akaniongoza kuzunguka pembe nne za uzio, nikaona kwamba katika kila pembe ya uzio kulikuwa na uwanja.
22 In the four corners of the court were little courts disposed, forty cubits long, and thirty broad, all the four were of one measure.
Katika hizo pembe nne za nje ya uzio kulikuwa na nzio nne ndogo, dhiraa arobaini urefu na thelathini upana. Ukubwa ule ule kwa nzio zote nne.
23 And there was a wall round about compassing the four little courts, and there were kitchens built under the rows round about.
Kulikuwa na safu zilizokuwa zimetengenezwa kwa mawe kuzizunguka zote nne, na meko ya kupikia ilikuwa chini ya safu ya jiwe.
24 And he said to me: This is the house of the kitchens wherein the ministers of the house of the Lord shall boil the victims of the people.
Yule mtu akanambia, “Hizi ndizo sehemu ambazo watumishi watachemshia dhabihu za watu.”
