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.
Waggaa digdamii shanaffaa boojiʼamuu keenyaa keessa, waggaa jalqabaatti, jiʼa kurnaffaatti, erga magaalattiin diigamtee booddee waggaa kudha afuraffaatti, guyyuma sana harki Waaqayyoo narra ture; innis achi na geesse.
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.
Mulʼata Waaqaatiinis gara biyya Israaʼel na geessee tulluu baayʼee ol dheeraa irra na dhaabe; karaa kibba isaatiinis waan ijaarsa magaalaa fakkaatanitu ture.
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.
Inni achi na geesse; anis nama bifti isaa naasii fakkaatu tokko nan arge; innis harka isaatti funyoo foʼaa quncee talbaatii fi ulee safaraa qabatee balbala dura ijaajjaa ture.
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.”
Namichi sunis akkana naan jedhe; “Yaa ilma namaa, ati sababii kanaaf waan as fidamteef, ija keetiin ilaali; gurra keetiinis dhagaʼiitii waan ani sitti argisiisu hunda hubadhu. Mana Israaʼelittis waan argite hunda himi.”
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.
Anis dallaa guutumaan guutuutti lafa mana qulqullummaa marsee jiru tokko nan arge. Dheerinni ulee ittiin safaran kan harka namicha sanaa keessa ture dhundhuma jaʼaa dha; tokkoon tokkoon dhundhuma sanaa dhundhuma tokkoo fi balʼina barruu harkaa tokko ture. Innis dallaa sana safare; dallaan sunis ulee safartuu tokko yabbatee ulee safartuu tokko ol dheerata ture.
6 Then he went up the steps of the east-facing gate. He measured the gate's threshold as six cubits deep.
Ergasii inni gara balbala gara baʼaa ilaaluutti dhufe. Gulantaawwanitti ol baʼee waltajjii balbalaa safare; innis ulee safartuu tokko gad fagaata ture.
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.
Sireewwan eegumsaa ol dheerinni isaanii ulee tokko, balʼinni isaanii immoo ulee tokko ture; keenyan manneen gidduu turanis dhundhuma shan yabbatu ture. Dooyaan karraa kan gardaafootti aanee gara mana qulqullummaatti garagalu sunis ulee safartuu tokko gad fagaata ture.
8 Then he measured the entrance porch.
Sana booddee inni gardaafoo balbalaa safare;
9 It was eight cubits deep, and its posts were two cubits thick. The entrance porch faced the Temple.
balballi sunis dhundhuma saddeet gad fagaatee tuggeewwan isaas dhundhuma lama furdatu turan. Gardaafoon balbala sanaa gara mana qulqullummaatti garagala ture.
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.
Karra gara baʼa biiftuu jiru keessa bitaa fi mirgaan manneen waardiyyootaa sadii sadiitu ture; sadan isaanii iyyuu wal qixxee turan. Tuggeewwan gama lamaan jiranis waluma qixxee turan.
11 He measured the width of the entrance gateway as ten cubits. It was thirteen cubits long.
Ergasii inni balʼina balbala ittiin ol seenanii safare; innis dhundhuma kudhan ture; dheerinni isaa immoo dhundhuma kudha sadii ture.
12 A wall one cubit high was in front of alcove, and the alcoves measured six cubits by six cubits.
Tokkoo tokkoo mana waardiyyaa dura keenyan dhundhuma tokko ol dheeratutu ture; manneen kunneenis gama lamaaniin dhundhuma jaʼa jaʼa turan.
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.
Ergasiis inni bantii keenyan manichaa kan boroo irraa jalqabee hamma bantii kaaniitti balbala sana safare; wal irraa fageenyi isaas balbala tokko irraa hamma balbala kaaniitti dhundhuma digdamii shan ture.
14 Then he measured the distance between the posts as sixty cubits. The gateway led all the way around to the courtyard.
Akkasumas balbala ittiin ol seenan safare; innis dhundhuma jaatama taʼe; safarri sunis hamma utubaa gara oobdii ilaalu sanaatti taasifame.
15 It was fifty cubits from the gateway entrance to the far side of the inside porch.
Fageenyi balbala ol seensisuu jalqabee hamma dhuma gardaafootti jirus dhundhuma shantama taʼe.
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.
Kutaawwan manichaatii fi keenyan isaa karaa ittiin ol seenaniin foddaa gama lachuutiin dhiphachaa deemu qabu ture; gardaafoon sunis akkasuma naannaʼee gara keessaatiin foddaa qaba ture; utubaawwan sun immoo muka meexxiitiin faayeffamanii turan.
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.
Ergasii inni gara oobdii alaatti na fide. Achittis dareewwanii fi karaa dhagaadhaan tolfame tokko naannoo oobdiitti nan arge; qarqara karaa sanaas daree soddomatu ture.
18 This was termed the lower pavement and it extended along the sides of the gateways and was the same length as them.
Karaan sunis balbala sana bira ture; balʼinni isaas hamma ol dheerina balbalawwanii ture; karaan kunis karaa isa gad aanuu dha.
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.
Sana booddee balbala gad aanu keessaa jalqabee hamma oobdii isa keessaa kan gara alaatti fageenya isaa safare; innis karaa baʼaatii fi karaa kaabaatiin dhundhuma dhibba tokko ture.
20 He also measured the length and width of the gateway of the outer courtyard that faced north.
Ergasii inni lafa irra dheerinaa fi balʼina karra gara kaabaa ilaalu kan gara oobdii alaatti baasuu safare.
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.
Safarri utubaawwanii fi gardaafoo manneen waardiyyaa kanneen bitaa mirgaan dareewwan sadii sadii qaban sanaas kan karra jalqabaa wajjin wal qixxee ture. Innis dheerina dhundhuma shantamaatii fi balʼina dhundhuma digdamii shanii qaba ture.
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.
Foddaawwan isaanii, gardaafoowwan isaaniitii fi faaya isaanii kan muka meexxii irraa hojjetame safarri isaanii safara karra gara baʼaa ilaalu wajjin wal qixxee ture. Gulantaawwan gara karra sanaatti geessan torbatu ture; fuullee isaanii immoo gardaafoo isaatu ture.
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.
Akkuma karra karaa baʼaatiin ture sanaa karra gara kaabaa ilaalu kan gara oobdii keessaatti geessu tokkotu ture. Innis karra tokko irraa jalqabee hamma karra fuullee isaa jiruutti safare; innis dhundhuma dhibba tokko ture.
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.
Innis gara kibbaatti na geesse; anis karra gara kibbaa ilaalu nan arge. Innis utubaawwanii fi gardaafoowwan isaa safare; safarri isaaniis safara warra kaanii wajjin wal qixxee ture.
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.
Karri sunii fi gardaafoon isaa foddaawwan akkuma foddaawwan kaanii dhidhiphatan naannoo isaaniitii qabu ture. Innis dheerina dhundhuma shantamaatii fi balʼina dhundhuma digdamii shanii qaba ture.
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.
Gulantaawwan gara karra sanaatti geessan torbatu ture; fuullee isaanii immoo gardaafoo isaatu ture; balballi sunis fuula utubaawwan sanaa irraa bitaa mirgaan faaya muka meexxiitiin hojjetame qaba ture.
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.
Oobdiin gara keessaas karra gara kibbaa ilaalu qaba ture; innis karra kana irraa kaasee hamma karra karaa kibbaa kan gara alaatiin jiruutti safare; safarri isaas dhundhuma dhibba tokko ture.
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.
Ergasiis inni karaa balbala kibbaatiin gara oobdii isa keessaatti na fide; innis karra kibbaa safare; safarri karra sanaas safara karrawwan kaaniitiin wal qixxee ture.
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.
Safarri manneen waardiyyaa kan utubaawwan isaatii fi kan gardaafoo isaa safara karrawwan kaanii wajjin wal qixxee ture. Karri sunii fi gardaafoon isaa foddaawwaniin marfamanii turan. Innis dheerina dhundhuma shantamaa fi balʼina dhundhuma digdamii shanii qaba ture.
30 (The other surrounding porches measured twenty-five cubits long and five cubits deep.)
Gardaafoowwan karraa kanneen naannoo oobdii gara keessaa jiran lafa irra dheerinni isaanii dhundhuma digdamii shan, balʼinni isaanii immoo dhundhuma shan qaba ture.
31 Its porch faced the outer courtyard, and its pillars were decorated with palm tree designs. It had eight steps leading up to it.
Gardaafoon isaa gara oobdii alaa ilaala ture; tuggeewwan isaa muka meexxiitiin faayeffamanii turan; gulantaawwan saddeetis gara isaa geessu turan.
32 He took me to the inner courtyard on the east side. He measured the gateway and it measured the same as those previously.
Ergasii inni karaa baʼaatiin gara oobdii isa keessaatti na fide; innis balbala sana safare; safarri isaas safara karrawwan kaanii wajjin wal qixxee ture.
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.
Safarri manneen waardiyyaa, kan utubaawwan isaatii fi kan gardaafoo isaa safara karrawwan kaanii wajjin wal qixxee ture. Karri sunii fi gardaafoon isaa foddaawwaniin marfamanii turan. Innis dheerina dhundhuma shantamaa fi balʼina dhundhuma digdamii shanii qaba ture.
34 Its porch faced the outer courtyard, and its posts were decorated with palm tree designs. It had eight steps leading up to it.
Gardaafoon isaa gara oobdii alaa ilaala ture; tuggeen isaa bitaa mirgaan muka meexxiitiin faayeffamee ture; gulantaawwan saddeetis gara isaa geessu turan.
35 He took me to the north gate and measured it. It measured the same as those previously,
Ergasii inni gara karra kaabaatti na fide; isas ni safare. Safarri isaas safara karrawwan kaanii wajjin wal qixxee ture.
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.
Innis akkuma manneen waardiyyaa isaa, utubaawwan isaatii fi gardaafoo isaa foddaawwaniin marfamee ture. Innis dheerina dhundhuma shantamaatii fi balʼina dhundhuma digdamii shanii qaba ture.
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.
Gardaafoon isaa gara oobdii alaa ilaala ture; tuggeen isaa bitaa mirgaan muka meexxiitiin faayeffamee ture; gulantaawwan saddeetis gara isaa geessu turan.
38 A room with a doorway stood beside by the porch of the inner gateways. This was where the burnt offering was washed.
Kutaan balballi isaa gara gardaafoo karra sanatti baʼu tokko jira ture; innis lafa aarsaan gubamu itti miicamu ture.
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.
Gardaafoo karraa keessa karaa bitaa fi mirgaatiin minjaalota lama kanneen aarsaan gubamu, aarsaan cubbuutii fi aarsaan yakkaa irratti qalamutu ture.
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.
Gardaafoo karraa kan gara alaa jiru cina, gulantaawwan balbalaa kanneen ittiin gara karra kaabaa seenan bira minjaalota lamatu ture; gulantaawwan sana irraa qixa kaaniin minjaalota lamatu ture.
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.
Kanaafuu karra sana irraa gara tokkoon minjaalota afur, gara kaaniin immoo minjaalota afur, walumatti minjaalota saddeeti kanneen aarsaan irratti qalamutu ture.
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.
Akkasumas minjaalota dhagaa soofame irraa aarsaa gubamuuf tolfaman afurtu ture; tokkoon tokkoon isaaniis dheerina dhundhuma tokkoo fi walakkaa, balʼina dhundhuma tokkoo fi walakkaatii fi ol dheerina dhundhuma tokkoo qabu ture. Isaan irras meeshaalee ittiin aarsaan gubamuu fi aarsaawwan biraa ittiin qalaman kaaʼamanii turan.
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.
Hokkoowwan gaanfa lama lama qaban kanneen tokkoon tokkoon isaanii dheerina barruu harkaa tokko qaban itti qabsiifamanii turan. Minjaalonni sunis kan foon aarsaawwaniitiif qopheeffaman turan.
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.
Balbala isa keessaa duubaan oobdii isa keessaa keessa dareewwan lamatu ture; tokko karaa balbala kaabaa gara kibbaatti garagaleera; tokko immoo karaa balbala kibbaa gara kaabaatti garagaleera.
45 The man told me: “The room that faces south is for the priests in charge of the Temple,
Innis akkana naan jedhe; “Dareen gara kibbaatti garagalee jiru luboota warra mana qulqullummaa keessatti ramadamaniifii dha;
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.”
kan gara kaabaatti garagalee jiru immoo luboota warra iddoo aarsaatti ramadamaniifii dha. Warri kunneen ilmaan Zaadoq; kanneen Lewwota keessaa gara Waaqayyootti dhiʼaatanii fuula isaa dura tajaajilan isaan qofa.”
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.
Achii immoo oobdii safare; innis roga afur kan wal qixxee taʼee dheerinni isaa dhundhuma dhibba tokko, balʼinni isaas dhundhuma dhibba tokkoo ti. Iddoon aarsaas fuula mana qulqullummaa dura ture.
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.
Innis gara gardaafoo mana qulqullummaatti na fidee tuggeewwan gardaafoo sanaa safare; isaanis qixa lamaaniin dhundhuma shan shan babalʼatan ture. Balʼinni balbala isaa immoo dhundhuma kudha afur ture; keenyan isaas qixa lamaaniin dhundhuma sadii sadii babalʼata ture.
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.
Gardaafoon sun balʼinni isaa dhundhuma digdama, fuula isaa duraa hamma dugda duubaatti immoo dhundhuma kudha lama ture. Gulantaawwan gara mana qulqullummaatti geessan kudhanitu ture; qixa lamaaniinis tuggeewwan gurguddaan, tuggeewwan xixinnaa cina turan.
