Ezekiel 40
1 At the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month of the twenty-fifth year of our exile, (fourteenth years after Jerusalem had been captured), was the exact day that the Lord's power came over me and he took me there to the city.
Kaimih hlangsol kah kum kul neh nga, khopuei a tloek hnuk kah kum hlai li nah, kum a tongnah kah hla rha lo coeng. Te khohnin ah kuelhuelh ah BOEIPA kut te kai soah om tih kai te pahoi ng'khuen te.
2 God took me to the country of Israel in vision and set me down on a very high mountain. On the south side of the mountain there were buildings that seemed to be a city.
Pathen kah mangthuinah neh Israel khohmuen la kai n'khuen. Te vaengah kai te tlang sang tangkik ah n'duem sak tih a sokah tuithim ah khopuei mueimae bang om.
3 When he took me there I saw a man who looked like shining bronze. He was holding a linen cord and a measuring rod as he stood in the entrance way.
Kai te pahoi m'pawk puei vaengah tah hlang kah a mueimae mah rhohum kah mueimae bangla tarha om. Te vaengah amah te a kut dongkah hlamik hamnak, capu cungnueh neh vongka ah pai.
4 “Son of man,” he told me, “watch with your eyes, listen with your ears. Concentrate on everything I'm about to show you, because that's the reason you were brought here. You are to explain to the people of Israel what you've been shown, everything you see.”
Te vaengah kai te, “Hlang capa kah a hlang aw, na mik neh hmu lamtah na hna neh ya lah. Kai loh nang kan tueng boeih te na lungbuei ah khueh lah. Israel imkhui ah na hmuh boeih puen pah. Te te nang tueng ham ni hela n'khuen.
5 I could see a wall that surrounded the Temple. The measuring rod the man was holding was six long cubits in length (a long cubit is a cubit plus a handbreadth). He measured the wall as six cubits thick and six cubits high.
Im vongvoel vongtung aih he a kaep a kaep ah hlang kut kah capu cungnueh neh a dong la dong rhuk kutsom pakhat lo. Buengngol kah a daang te capu pakhat phoeiah capu pakhat a sang la a nueh.
6 Then he went up the steps of the east-facing gate. He measured the gate's threshold as six cubits deep.
Te phoeiah khothoeng longpuei la maelhmai aka mang vongka te a paan tih a tangtlaeng so, a tangtlaeng soah luei. Te vaengah vongka kah cingkhaa te a daang capu pakhat neh a nueh tih cingkhaa pakhat te a daang capu pakhat om.
7 Beyond that were alcoves that measured six cubits by six cubits, with five cubits between the alcoves. The threshold of the inside entrance facing the porch measured six cubits.
Tanhnaem te a yun capu khat neh a daang khaw capu khat sen. Tanhnaem laklo te dong nga ka tih vongka cingkhaa taengkah, im vongka kah ngalha khaw capu pakhat sen bal.
8 Then he measured the entrance porch.
Im lamloh vongka kah ngalha te capu pakhat la a nueh bal.
9 It was eight cubits deep, and its posts were two cubits thick. The entrance porch faced the Temple.
Vongka kah ngalha te a dong ah dong rhet la a nueh. Im hmai ah vongka ngalha dongkah ngalhatung te dong nit lo.
10 There were three alcoves on each side of the east gate entrance that all measured the same. The posts on each side also measured the same.
Vongka tanhnaem te khothoeng longpuei heben ah pathum, keben ah pathum om tih a pathum la a pum vai uh. Ngalhatung ham heben kah neh keben kah te a sang pakhat la om.
11 He measured the width of the entrance gateway as ten cubits. It was thirteen cubits long.
Te phoeiah vongka thohka te a daang dong rha neh vongka kah a yun te dong hlai thum la a nueh.
12 A wall one cubit high was in front of alcove, and the alcoves measured six cubits by six cubits.
Tanhnaem hmai kah longkhawn te dong khat lo tih voeivang kah longkhawn khaw dong khat lo. Te dongah tanhnaem te khatben ah dong rhuk, khatben ah dong rhuk lo.
13 Then he measured the entrance gateway from the roof of one alcove to the roof of the one opposite. It was twenty-five cubits from one doorway to the opposite doorway.
Te phoeiah a vongka tanhnaem imphu lamloh imphu duela a daang a dong pakul panga la a nueh. thohka neh thohka te tah hmaitoh uh rhoi.
14 Then he measured the distance between the posts as sixty cubits. The gateway led all the way around to the courtyard.
Ngalhatung te vongup vongka kaep, kaep kah ngalhatung hil dong sawmrhuk a khueh.
15 It was fifty cubits from the gateway entrance to the far side of the inside porch.
Vongka hmai lamloh vongka ngalha hmai duela a khuirhai neh a khuirhai a dong sawmnga khui.
16 The alcoves and their pillars had narrow windows on all of the inside of the gateway. The porches also had windows on all of the inside. All the posts were decorated with palm tree designs.
Tanhnaem neh a ngalhatung dongkah bangbuet caek tih vongka khuiben kah a kaep kaep ah om. Te dongah ngalha ham neh bangbuet khui kah a kaep kaep tah, ngalhatung dongah rhophoe a khuehuh.
17 He took me into the outer courtyard. I saw rooms and a pavement had been constructed around the courtyard. There were thirty rooms facing the pavement.
Te phoeiah kai te vongup khuila voelh n'khuen hatah imkhan khaw lungphaih tarha a na khueh. Vongup kaep kaep ah lungphaih hoengla imkhan sawmthum om.
18 This was termed the lower pavement and it extended along the sides of the gateways and was the same length as them.
Vongka hlaep lungphaih neh vongka dang kah lungphaih tah voeivang ah a yun thikat.
19 He measured the distance from the front of the lower gateway to the far side of the inner courtyard as one hundred cubits, both to the east side and the north.
Te phoeiah a dang vongka hmai lamloh a khui vongup hmai duela poenghman ah khothoeng tlangpuei a daang te dong yakhat la a nueh.
20 He also measured the length and width of the gateway of the outer courtyard that faced north.
Te phoeiah a vongka hmai te tlangpuei longpuei vongup voel duela a yun neh a daang a nueh.
21 Its three alcoves on both sides, its posts, and its porch all measured the same as the first gateway and was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
A tanhnaem khaw khatben ah tanhnaem pathum, khatben ah ngalhatung pathum om. Ngalhatung soah ngalha a tloeng. A ngalha te a yun te lamhma kah vongka bangla om. A yun dong sawmnga neh a daang te dong pakul panga lo.
22 Its windows, porch, and palm tree decorations were the same as those of the east-facing gate. It had seven steps leading up to it, with its porch facing them.
A bangbuet, bangbuet neh a ngalha, a ngalha te rhophoe tlip a khueh. Te te khothoeng longpuei la a maelhmai aka hooi vongka neh a sang vaiuh. Te lam te tangtlaeng parhih neh cet uh. Te vaengah a ngalha neh a ngalha te hmaitoh uh rhoi.
23 There was an entrance to the inner courtyard facing the north gate, just like the east gate. He measured the distance from the entrance to the gate as a hundred cubits.
A khui vongup kah vongka loh tlangpuei neh khothoeng kah vongka te a hmaitoh. Te dongah vongka pakhat lamloh vongka pakhat hil te dong yakhat la a nueh.
24 He took me to the south side, and I saw a gateway that faced south. He measured its posts and its porch, and they measured the same as those previously.
Te phoeiah kai te tuithim longpuei la m'mawt hatah tuithim longpuei kah vongka te kak ka hmuh. Te vaengah a ngalhatung neh a ngalhatung khaw a ngalha neh a ngalha khaw cungnueh pakhat la om.
25 Both the gateway and its porch had windows all around it that were like the other windows. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
A bangbuet khaw a ngalha, a ngalha kaep kaep kah bangbuet bangla om. Te rhoek te a yun dong sawmnga neh a daang dong pakul panga lo.
26 It had seven steps leading up to it, and its porch faced them. It had one post on each side with palm tree designs on them.
A tangkham, a tangkham te tangtlaeng parhih tlip om. A ngalha neh a ngalha te hmaitoh uh bal. A ngalhatung, a ngalhatung soah rhophoe te khatben ah pakhat, khatben ah khaw pakhat om bal.
27 The inner courtyard also had an entrance facing south, and he measured the distance from the entrance to the south gate as a hundred cubits.
Tuithim longpuei kah vongup khui ah khaw vongka om bal. Tuithim longpuei kah vongka khat lamloh vongka khat hil te dong yakhat la a nueh.
28 He took me into the inner courtyard through the south gate, and he measured the south gate. It measured the same as those previously.
Te phoeiah kai te tuithim vongka longah vongup khui la n'khuen. Te vaengah tuithim vongka te te rhoek kah cungnueh tarhing la a nueh.
29 Its alcoves, posts, and porch had the same measurements as those previously. The gateway and its porch had windows all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
A tanhnaem neh a tanhnaem khaw, a ngalhatung neh a ngalhatung khaw, a ngalha neh a ngalha khaw cungnueh pakhat la omuh. A bangbuet bal khaw a ngalha, a ngalha kaep kaep ah om tih a yun dong sawmnga neh a daang dong kul dong nga lo.
30 (The other surrounding porches measured twenty-five cubits long and five cubits deep.)
Ngalha kaep kaep ah a yun dong pakul panga neh a daang dong nga om.
31 Its porch faced the outer courtyard, and its pillars were decorated with palm tree designs. It had eight steps leading up to it.
A ngalha vong voel la a hmaitoh tih a ngalhatung, a ngalhatung dongah rhophoe om. A taengkah tangkham, tangkham ah tangtlaeng parhet om.
32 He took me to the inner courtyard on the east side. He measured the gateway and it measured the same as those previously.
Te phoeiah kai te khothoeng longpuei kah vongup khui la n'khuen tih vongka te a cungnueh tarhing la a nueh.
33 Its alcoves, posts, and porch measured the same as those previously. The gateway and its porch had windows all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
A tanhnaem neh a tanhnaem khaw, a taengkah a ngalhatung khaw, a ngalha neh a ngalha khaw cungnueh pakhat la a khueh. A bangbuet khaw a ngalha, a ngalha kaep kaep ah a yun dong sawmnga neh a daang dong kul dong nga om.
34 Its porch faced the outer courtyard, and its posts were decorated with palm tree designs. It had eight steps leading up to it.
A ngalha neh a ngalha te vongup voel ah hmaitoh uh rhoi. A ngalhatung, a ngalha so tah khatben ah khaw khatben ah khaw rhophoe tlip om. Te vaengah a tangkham, a tangkham tah tangtlaeng parhet a boh.
35 He took me to the north gate and measured it. It measured the same as those previously,
Te phoeiah kai te tlangpuei vongka la n'khuen tih te rhoek cungnueh tarhing ah a nueh.
36 including its alcoves, posts, and porch. The gateway and its porch had windows all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
A tanhnaem neh a tanhnaem khaw, a ngalhatung neh a ngalhatung khaw, a ngalha neh a ngalha khaw vaiuh. A bangbuet te a kaep kaep ah a yun dong sawmnga neh a daang dong kul dong nga lo.
37 Its porch faced the outer courtyard, and its posts were decorated with palm tree designs on all sides. It had eight steps leading up to it.
A ngalhatung neh a ngalhatung te vongtung voel ah hmaitoh uh. A ngalhatung, a ngalhatung so te khatben ah khaw khatben ah khaw rhophoe tlip a khueh tih a tangkham a tangkham ahtangtlaeng parhet a boh.
38 A room with a doorway stood beside by the porch of the inner gateways. This was where the burnt offering was washed.
Vongka ngalha taengkah imkhan thohka ah hmueihhlutnah te pahoi a hoek uh.
39 Inside the gateway porch were two tables on both sides, where the sacrificial animals were slaughtered for burnt offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings.
Vongka ngalha khuikah khatben ah caboei panit, khatben ah caboei panit om bal. Te rhoek soah ni hmueihhlutnah neh boirhaem khaw hmaithennah khaw a ngawn.
40 Outside, on the way up to the entrance of the north gateway, were two tables on one side of the gate's porch and two tables on the other side.
Tlangpuei vongka kah thohka la aka cet ham vongvoel hlaep ah khaw caboei panit om tih vongka kah ngalha hlaep ah caboei a tloe panit om bal.
41 So there were four tables on the inside the of gateway and another four outside, making a total of eight tables. This is where the sacrifices were slaughtered.
Tekah khaben ah caboei pali neh khatben ah caboei pali om. Te dongah vongka hael kah caboei parhet soah maeh a ngawn uh.
42 There were also four tables of cut stone for the burnt offering. They each measured one and a half cubits long, one and a half cubits wide, and a cubit high. The tools used to slaughter the burnt offerings and the other sacrifices were placed on these tables.
Hmueihhlutnah ham caboei pali te lungrhaih lung neh a saii tih pakhat te a yun dong khat phoeiah tintan, a daang dong khat phoeiah tintan, a sang dong khat lo. A soah ah hmueihhlutnah neh hmueih a ngawn vaengkah hnopai te a tloeng uh.
43 Hooks measuring the width of a hand were attached to the walls inside the room. The meat of the offering was to be placed on the tables.
Imkhui te a kaep kaep ah lingvawt kutsom pakhat tlip a ten tih caboei soah nawnnah maeh te a tloeng.
44 Outside the inner gate but inside the inner courtyard were two rooms. One was beside the north gate and faced south; the other beside the south gate and faced north.
Vongka a voel kah imkhan khui ah vongup khui kah aka hlai rhoek te tlangpuei vongka hael ah om. Te vaengah a maelhmai te tuithim longpuei la a hooi. Khothoeng vongka hael kah pakhat long tah a maelhmai te tlangpuei longpuei la a hooi.
45 The man told me: “The room that faces south is for the priests in charge of the Temple,
Te vaengah kai taengah, “Tuithim longpuei aka hmaitoh imkhan he imkhui kah a kuek aka ngaithuen khosoih rhoek ham saeh.
46 and the room that faces north is for the priests in charge of the altar. These priests are the descendants of Zadok and are the only Levites who are allowed to come near to the Lord and minister before him.”
Tlangpuei longpuei la aka hmaitoh imkhan te hmueihtuk kah a kuek aka ngaithuen khosoih rhoek ham saeh. Levi koca lamloh a yoei la Zadok koca rhoek ni BOEIPA amah taengah a pongthoh,” a ti.
47 He measured the square courtyard: a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide. The altar stood in the courtyard in front of the Temple.
Te vaengah vongup te a yun dong yakhat, a daang dong yakhat tih hniboeng bangla a nueh. Tedae hmueihtuk tah im hmai ah om.
48 He took me to the Temple porch and measured the pillars of the porch as five cubits on each side. The gateway was fourteen cubits wide and its sides measured three cubits.
Kai te im ngalha taengla n'khuen tih ngalha kah ngalhatung te khatben ah dong nga, khatben ah dong nga la, vongka kah a daang te khatben ah dong thum, khatben ah dong thum la a nueh.
49 The porch was twenty cubits wide and twelve cubits deep, and had ten steps leading up to it. There were columns by the posts, one on both sides.
Ngalha te a yun dong kul neh a daang dong hlai khat lo. Te te tangtlaeng neh luei tih tung taengkah ngalhatung te khatben ah pakhat, khatben ah pakhat pai.
