< Ezekiel 42 >
1 The man took me out through the north gate to the outer courtyard into the rooms on the far side of the Temple courtyard by the northern external wall.
Ningĩ mũndũ ũcio akĩndongoria, akĩndwara mwena wa gathigathini o nginya nja ĩyo ya nyumĩrĩra, akĩnginyia tũnyũmba-inĩ tũrĩa twangʼetheire nja ya hekarũ na tũkangʼethera rũthingo rwa na nja rwa mwena wa gathigathini.
2 The building with the north-facing door was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide.
Nyũmba ĩrĩa mũrango wayo werekeire mwena wa gathigathini yarĩ ya ũraihu wa mĩkono igana na wariĩ wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtano.
3 It had three floors of open halls on both sides, one facing the twenty-cubit area of the inner courtyard and one facing the pavement of the outer courtyard.
Gĩcigo kĩrĩa kĩarĩ kĩa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ kuuma nja ya na thĩinĩ, na gĩcigo kĩrĩa kĩangʼetheire harĩa haarĩtwo mahiga nja ya nyumĩrĩra-rĩ, nĩ kwarĩ na ithaku ciakĩtwo ngoroba ithatũ, na o gĩthaku kĩangʼetheire kĩrĩa kĩngĩ.
4 In front of the rooms was an inside walkway ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long. Their doors opened to the north.
Hau mbere ya tũnyũmba tũu nĩ haarĩ na gacĩra ga thĩinĩ karĩ na wariĩ wa mĩkono ikũmi, na ũraihu wa mĩkono igana. Mĩrango yatuo yekĩrĩtwo mwena wa gathigathini.
5 The upper rooms were smaller because of the space taken up by the open halls on the lower and middle levels of the building.
Na rĩrĩ, tũnyũmba tũu twarĩ igũrũ twarĩ tũkundakundeeru, nĩ ũndũ ithaku nĩcioete handũ hanene gũkĩra tũnyũmba tũrĩa twakĩtwo ngoroba ĩyo yarĩ mũhuro na ya gatagatĩ.
6 Since they didn't have pillars like the courtyards, the upper rooms were set farther back than the lower and middle levels.
Tũnyũmba twa ngoroba ya gatatũ tũtiekĩrĩtwo itugĩ ta iria ciekĩrĩtwo nja; nĩ ũndũ ũcio tũnyũmba tũu tũgakĩnyiiha thĩ gũkĩra twa ngoroba ĩrĩa yarĩ thĩ, na ya gatagatĩ.
7 An external wall ran in front of the rooms for fifty cubits long parallel to the outer courtyard.
Nĩ haarĩ na rũthingo rwa mwena wa na nja rwathiĩte rũigananĩirie na tũnyũmba tũu na kũu nja ya nyumĩrĩra; rwatambũrũkĩte mbere ya tũnyũmba tũu mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtano.
8 The rooms on the outer courtyard extended for fifty cubits, but those that faced the Temple were a hundred cubits long.
Mũhari wa tũnyũmba twa mwena ũrĩa wariganĩtie na nja ya nyumĩrĩra warĩ wa ũraihu wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtano, naguo mũhari ũrĩa wakuhĩrĩirie handũ-harĩa-hatheru warĩ wa ũraihu wa mĩkono igana.
9 Below these rooms was an entrance on the east side coming from the outer courtyard.
Tũnyũmba tũrĩa twarĩ mũhuro mwena wa irathĩro nĩ twarĩ na itoonyero mũndũ agĩtoonya kuo oimĩte nja ya nyumĩrĩra.
10 Along the wall on the south side of the outer courtyard were rooms next to the courtyard and opposite the building.
Ningĩ mwena wa gũthini, gũtwarana na mwena ũrĩa mũraihu wa rũthingo rũu rwa nja ya nyumĩrĩra, kũnyiitana na mwena wa nja ya hekarũ, na kũngʼethera rũthingo rwa nja, nĩ haarĩ na tũnyũmba
11 There was a walkway in front of them, just like the rooms on the north side. These rooms had the same length and width, the same doors, floor plan, and exits.
twarĩ na gacĩra mbere yatuo. Tũnyũmba tũu twahaanaga o ta tũrĩa twarĩ mwena wa gathigathini; twarĩ na ũraihu na wariĩ waiganaine, nacio nyumĩrĩra ciatuo nĩciaringaine na ikaiganania ithimo. Namo matoonyero ma mwena wa gathigathini
12 Similarly there was an entrance under the rooms on the south side of the building, coming from the east side.
nĩmahaanaine na matoonyero ma tũnyũmba twa mwena wa gũthini. Ningĩ nĩ haarĩ na itoonyero kĩambĩrĩria-inĩ gĩa gacĩra karĩa gaatwaranĩte na rũthingo rũu rwerekeire mwena wa irathĩro, na nĩko mũndũ aageraga agĩtoonya tũnyũmba tũu.
13 The man told me, “The north and south rooms that face the Temple courtyard are holy rooms where the priests who go before the Lord will eat the most holy offerings. They will place the most holy offerings there because the place is holy, and include the grain offerings, the sin offerings, and the guilt offerings.
Agĩcooka akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Tũnyũmba tũu tũrĩ mwena wa gathigathini na tũu tũrĩ mwena wa gũthini, tũu tũngʼetheire nja ya hekarũ, nĩtuo twa athĩnjĩri-Ngai, na nĩkuo athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa megũkuhĩrĩria Jehova makarĩĩagĩra indo cia maruta marĩa matheru mũno. Kũu nĩkuo makaigaga indo cia maruta iria theru mũno, nacio nĩ maruta ma ngano, o na maruta ma mehia, na maruta ma mahĩtia, nĩgũkorwo handũ hau nĩ hatheru.
14 Once the priests have entered these rooms, they are not to go to the outer courtyard before leaving their priestly clothes, because these are holy. They must change into other clothes before go where the ordinary people are.”
Athĩnjĩri-Ngai rĩrĩa maatoonya handũ hau haamũre-rĩ, matingĩcooka kuuma nja ya mwena wa nyumĩrĩra, nginya marute nguo icio cia ũtungata, nĩ ũndũ nĩ nyamũre. No nginya mehumbe nguo ingĩ matanakuhĩrĩria kũrĩa andũ maikaraga.”
15 After the man finished measuring inside of the Temple area, he took me out through the east gate, and he measured the surrounding area as well.
Rĩrĩa aarĩkirie gũthima kĩrĩa kĩarĩ mwena wa na thĩinĩ wa hekarũ, akĩnyumia na nja tũgereire kĩhingo kĩa mwena wa irathĩro, agĩthima mũigana wa handũ hau mĩena yothe:
16 Using the measuring rod he measured the east side. It was five hundred cubits long.
Nĩathimire mwena wa irathĩro na rũthanju rwa gũthima; mũigana waho warĩ mĩkono magana matano.
17 He measured the north side. It was five hundred cubits long.
Ningĩ agĩthima mwena wa gathigathini; mũigana waho warĩ mĩkono magana matano ũthimĩtwo na rũthanju rũu rwa gũthima.
18 He measured the south side. It was five hundred cubits long.
O na agĩthima mwena wa gũthini; mũigana waho warĩ mĩkono magana matano ũthimĩtwo na rũthanju rũu rwa gũthima.
19 And he came around and measured the west side. It was five hundred cubits long.
Ningĩ agĩcooka agĩthima mwena wa ithũĩro; mũigana waho warĩ mĩkono magana matano ũthimĩtwo na rũthanju rũu rwa gũthima.
20 So he measured all four sides. There was a wall surrounding it, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits wide, separating the holy from the common.
Ũguo nĩguo aathimire handũ hau mĩena ĩyo yothe ĩna. Handũ hau haarigiicĩirio na rũthingo, naruo rwarĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono magana matano, na wariĩ wa mĩkono magana matano, rwa kũhakania handũ harĩa hatheru na harĩa hatarĩ haamũre.
