Ezekiel 44
1 The man took me back to the outside gate of the sanctuary that faced to the east, but it was shut.
Na mukul sac pwenyula nu ke mutunpot se lik ke layen nu kutulap ke Tempul uh. Mutunpot sac kaul,
2 The Lord told me, “This gate will stay shut. It is not be opened. No one is allowed to come in through it, because the Lord, the God of Israel, has passed through it. So it will stay shut.
na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Mutunpot se inge ac kaul na. Wangin pacl ac ikakla. Wangin mwet ac orekmakin, mweyen nga, LEUM GOD lun Israel, tuh utyak kac, na ac fah kaul na.
3 The prince himself is permitted to come and sit inside the gateway to eat in the presence of the Lord. He is to come in through the gateway's porch and leave the same way.”
Tusruktu, fisrak se ma leum fin mwet uh ac ku in tuku ac mongo ke bread mutal ye mutuk we. El ac fah ilyak ac illa ke mutunpot uh ke infukil in utyak se oan e loac.”
4 The man took me to the front of the Temple through the north gate. As I looked, I saw the glory of the Lord filling his Temple, and I fell with my face to the ground.
Na mwet sac pwenyu ut ke mutunpot epang ah nu ke mutun Tempul uh. Ke nga ngetak nga liye lah kalem wolana lun LEUM GOD nwakla luin Tempul. Na nga faksufi,
5 The Lord told me, “Son of man, concentrate! Keep your eyes open! Listen carefully to everything I tell you about all the regulations and laws of the Lord's Temple. Pay close attention to the Temple entrance and all the exits of the sanctuary.
ac LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Kom, mwet sukawil moul la, lohang akwoya nu ke ma nukewa kom liye ac lohng uh. Nga ac fahkot nu sum ma sap ac oakwuk luk nu ke Tempul. Liye akwoya lah mwet fuka ac ku in ilyak ac illa liki Tempul, ac mwet fuka ac tia lela nu se.
6 Tell those rebels, the people of Israel, that this is what the Lord God says: I've had more than enough of all your disgusting sins, people of Israel!
“Fahkang nu sin mwet Israel ingan su lungsena alein lah nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, ac fah tia sifil muteng orekma srungayuk ma elos muta oru uh.
7 As well as all your other offensive practices, you invited unconverted, pagan foreigners to come into my sanctuary. You made my Temple unclean even while you offered food to me, the fat and the blood. You broke my agreement.
Elos akfohkfokye Tempul sik ke elos lela mwetsac, su tia kosrala ac tia akosyu, in utyak nu we ke pacl kiris uh ac srah uh kisakinyuk nu sik. Ouinge mwet luk uh kunausla wuleang luk nu selos ke sripen ma srungayuk nukewa elos oru.
8 In addition you have not taken care of my sanctuary as you were required to, but instead you employed others to look after my sanctuary for you.
Elos tiana oru ma kunalos ke oakwuk mutal ke Tempul uh, a elos sang tuh in ma kunen mwetsac inge in oru.
9 This is what the Lord God says: No unconverted, pagan foreigners are allowed to enter my sanctuary—not even a foreigner who lives with the Israelites.
“Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahkak lah wangin mwet tia kosrala, ku mwet su tia akosyu, fah utyak nu in Tempul sik, finne mwetsac ma muta inmasrlon mwet Israel.”
10 The Levites who abandoned me when Israel turned from worshiping me and went off to follow their idols will experience the consequences of their sins.
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Nga fah kalyai mwet Levi su tuh wi mwet Israel ngia fahsr likiyu ac alu nu ke ma sruloala.
11 However, they will serve in my sanctuary, supervising the Temple gates and working in the Temple. They will slaughter the burnt offerings and sacrifices brought by the people and be there to serve them.
Elos ac ku in kulansupweyu ke Tempul in liyaung mutunpot ac oru pac orekma lun Tempul. Elos ku in uniya kosro ma mwet uh ako in kisakin nu ke mwe kisa firir, ac mwe kisa saya, ac elos ac fah oru orekma in kulansupu mwet uh.
12 But because they served the people in front of their idols and encouraged the people of Israel to sin, I held up my hand to promise on oath that they would experience the consequences of their sin, declares the Lord God.
Tusruktu, ke sripen elos pa kolla mwet Israel in alu nu ke ma sruloala, ac in ouiya se inge elos kololosla nu ke ma koluk, nga LEUM GOD Fulatlana, orala fulahk luk lah enenu in kalyeiyuk elos.
13 They are not allowed to come near me to serve me as priests, and they are not to touch anything I regard as holy or most holy. They will have to experience the shame of the disgusting sins they committed.
Elos ac fah tia sifil kulansapweyu in oru orekma lun mwet tol, ku apkuranyang nu ke kutena ma mutal sik, ku utyak nu in Acn Mutal Na Mutal. Pa inge mwe kalya nu selos ke orekma srungayuk elos oru.
14 However, I will put them in charge of all Temple work and everything that needs to be done there.
Nga ac sang orekma pusisel ke Tempul tuh in ma kunalos.”
15 It is the Levitical priests, descended from Zadok and who took care of my sanctuary when the Israelites abandoned me, are the ones to come near to me and minister before me. They will stand in my presence to offer me fat and blood, declares the Lord God.
LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk, “Mwet tol ke sruf lal Levi su ma ke fwilin tulik natul Zadok, elos oaru na in kulansapweyu in Tempul ke pacl mwet Israel saya uh forla likiyu. Ke ma inge, elos pa ac kulansapweyu, ac tuku nu ye mutuk in kisakin ma kiris ac srah ke mwe kisa uh.
16 Only they are allowed to enter my sanctuary and approach my table to minister before me. They will do what I say.
Elos mukena pa ac utyak nu in Tempul sik, ac kulansap ke loang luk, ac kol alu in Tempul.
17 When they come in through the entrances of the inner courtyard, they shall wear linen garments. They must not wear any woolen clothes when they serve at the entrances of the inner courtyard or inside the Temple.
Ke elos ac utyak ke mutunpot nu in acn mwesas se loac ke Tempul uh, elos fah nokomang nuknuk linen. Elos fah tiana orekmakin kutena nuknuk ma orekla ke unen sheep ke pacl elos kulansap in acn mwesas se loac ku luin Tempul uh.
18 They shall wear linen turbans on their heads and linen underwear. They are not to wear anything that makes them sweat.
Elos in susu linen ac turasis linen, ac elos in tia pel, elos in mau tia fio.
19 When they go to the outer court where the people are, they must take off their priestly clothes they wore when they were serving, and leave them in the holy rooms. They are to put on other clothes so that they don't carry holiness to the people with their clothing.
Meet liki elos ac tufoki nu ke acn mwesas se lik ah yen mwet uh muta we, elos enenu na in sarukla nuknuk ma elos nukum ke pacl elos kulansap in Tempul uh, ac filiya infukil mutal. Elos in nokomang nuknuk na lalos, tuh mwet uh in tia pusralla nuknuk mutal uh in tuh akongoiyalosla.
20 They are not permitted to shave their heads or let their hair grow long; they must have a proper haircut.
“Mwet tol uh tia enenu in mangsrasrala ku akloesye aunsifalos. Elos enenu in oru tuh in lusa na fal.
21 No priest shall drink wine before he enters the inner courtyard.
Mwet tol enenu in tia nim wain meet liki elos ilyak nu in acn mwesas loac uh.
22 They are not to marry a woman who is a widow or divorced; they can only marry a virgin of Israelite descent, or a widow of a priest.
Wangin mwet tol ac fah payuk sin mutan ma sisila sin sie pacna mwet. El enenu in payuk na sin sie mutan Israel su virgin, ku sie katinmas ma mukul tuma uh mwet tol.
23 They are to teach my people the difference between what is holy and what is common, and explain to them how to distinguish between what is clean and what is unclean.
“Mwet tol uh enenu in luti nu sin mwet luk in ku in akilen inmasrlon ma mutal ac ma tia mutal, oayapa inmasrlon ma nasnas ac ma tia nasnas fal nu ke oakwuk lun alu uh.
24 They are to serve as judges in legal cases, and base their decisions on my laws. They are to follow my instructions and regulations regarding all my regular religious festivals, and they are to keep my Sabbaths holy.
Pacl ma oasr alein yohk sikyak, mwet tol uh pa ac oru nununku fal nu ke ma sap luk. Elos enenu in karingin pacl in kufwa lun alu uh fal nu ke ma sap ac oakwuk luk, ac elos enenu in karinganang len Sabbath tuh in mutal.
25 A priest must not make himself unclean by going near a dead body. However, if it's his father, mother, son, daughter, brother, or a sister that's not married, then he may do so.
“Sie mwet tol enenu na in tia akfohkfokyal sifacna ke el kahlye monin sie mwet misa, sayen mwet sacn el fin papa tumal ku nina kial, ku sie sin tulik natul, ku sie tamulel lal, ku sie tamtael wial ma soenna payuk.
26 Afterwards, once he is purified, he must wait for seven days.
Tukun el sifilpa aknasnasyeyukla, el enenu in soano ke len itkosr,
27 Then when he enters the sanctuary, going into the inner courtyard and ministering there in the sanctuary, he has to present his sin offering, declares the Lord God.
na el fah ilyak nu in acn mwesas se loac ke Tempul ac oru sie mwe kisa ke ma koluk, elan mau ku in sifilpa kulansap in Tempul. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, pa fahk ma inge.
28 Regarding their share of the land, I will take care of them. You are not to give them any property in Israel, because I will provide for them.
“Mwe usru lun mwet tol ke ma nga sang nu sin mwet Israel tuh in ma lalos fwil nu ke fwil, pa orekma lun mwet tol. Ac fah wangin acn lalos in Israel. Nga na pa ac sang enenu lalos.
29 They are to eat the grain offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings. Everything brought by the people of Israel and dedicated to the Lord will be theirs.
Pa inge mwe mongo nun mwet tol uh: mwe kisa wheat, mwe kisa ke ma koluk, ac mwe kisa in akfalye ma koluk lukma. Oayapa ma nukewa in Israel ma sriyukla nu sik, ac fah ma lalos.
30 The best of all the firstfruits and all your offerings are for the priests. You shall give the first loaf you bake to the priest, so that your home may be blessed.
Ma wo ke kosrani se meet in ma nukewa, ac oayapa ma wo ke ma kisakinyuk nu sik, ac fah ma lun mwet tol. Pacl nukewa mwet uh manman flao, elos in sang lof soko emeet nu sin mwet tol oana sie mwe kisa. Mwe insewowo luk ac fah oan fin lohm sin mwet su oru ouinge.
31 The priests are not permitted to eat any bird or animal found dead or killed by wild beasts.”
Mwet tol fah tia mongo kutena won ku kosro ma sifacna misa, ku ma anwuki sin kosro lemnak.”
