Ezekiel 44
1 The man took me back to the outside gate of the sanctuary that faced to the east, but it was shut.
Nendese’e nibalike mb’an-dalambey alafe’ i toetse miavake miatrek’ atiñanañey mb’eo iraho; f’ie nirindriñe.
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.
Le hoe t’Iehovà amako: Hagabeñe ty lalañe toy, tsy ho sokafeñe, le tsy himoak’ ama’e t’indaty; amy te fa nizilik’ ao t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele, aa le harindriñe izay.
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.”
I roandriañey avao ty hiambesatse ao hikama mahakama añatrefa’ Iehovà ty amy maha-roandriañe aze; hizilike mb’amy ana-piziliha’ i lalambeiy re, vaho ama’e ka ty hienga’e mb’eo.
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.
Nendese’e niary amy lalambey avaratsey iraho, mb’ añ’ aolo’ i kivohoy mb’eo; nenteako le indroke nandifotse i kivoho’ Iehovày ty enge’ Iehovà; vaho nibaboke an-tareheko.
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.
Le hoe t’Iehovà amako: O ana’ ondatio, arendreho soa, le isaho am-pihaino naho janjiño an-dravembia ze he’e ho volañeko ama’o ty amo fañè’ i kivoho’ Iehovàio naho o fañòha’eo; arendreho o mete hampihovañe amy kivohoio, vaho o rarañe tsy himoak’ amy toetse miavakeio.
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!
Le saontsio ty hoe o mpiolao, i anjomba’ Israeley, inao ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Ry anjomba’ Israele, fonga ajihero o hakarapiloa’oo,
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.
ty amy nampihova’o an-toeko miavake ao o ambahiny tsy nisavareñe añ’arofo naho tsy afak’ ofoke an-tsandriñeo, hañota-faly amy anjombakoy, ie nengae’o amako o hànekoo, ty safo’e naho ty lio’e. Tovo’ ze haloloañ’ iaby nivaliha’ areo amy fañinakoy;
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.
vaho tsy namandroñe o raha masikoo; te mone nampivandroñe’ iareo ze nisatrie’ areo avao i toeko miavakey.
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.
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà Talè: Tsy himoak’ amy toeko miavakey ty ambahiny tsy nisavareñe añ’arofo naho tsy afak’ ofok’ an-tsandriñe, amo renetane mitraok’ amo nte-Israeleo iabio.
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.
Le hivave ty lafa’ iareo o nte-Levy nihànkañe amakoo, ie nandifik’ amako t’Israele naho nandrìke mb’ amo samposampon-draha’ iareoo.
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.
Ho mpañambiñe an-toeko miavake ao iereo, hisary o lalambein-kivohoo, hampikasokasok’ amy kibohokoy ao; handenta o engan-koroañeo naho o fisoroña’ ondatioo, hiatrake ondatio, hitoroñe iareo.
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.
Amy te nitoroñe’ iareo aolo’ o saren’ drahare’ iareoo, naho ninjare bolokon-kakeo fampitsikapieñe i anjomba’ Israeley, le nizonjoeko haoke hoe t’Iehovà Talè, vaho ho vavè’ iereo o hakeo’ iareoo.
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.
Tsy hitotok’ amako iereo, tsy hitoroñe ahy ho mpisoroñe, tsy hañarine o raha masikoo naho o raha loho miavakeo; fa hivave fisalarañe ty amo hatsivokarañe nanoe’ iereoo.
14 However, I will put them in charge of all Temple work and everything that needs to be done there.
F’ie ho tendrèko ho mpigaritse i kivohokoy, naho hikotrokotrok’ ama’eo, ze hene kasokasoheñe ama’e ao.
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.
Fe o mpisoroñe nte-Levy ana’ i Tsadoke namandroñe i toeko miavakey, ie nandifik’ amako o nte-Israeleoo ro hitotok’ amako hitoroñ’ ahy, hijohañe añatrefako hañenga ty safo’e naho ty lio amako, hoe t’Iehovà Talè;
16 Only they are allowed to enter my sanctuary and approach my table to minister before me. They will do what I say.
Ie ro himoak’ amy toeko miavakey ao, hitotok’ amy fandambañakoy hitoroñe ahy vaho hamandroñe o ahikoo.
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.
Ie mizilik’ amo lalambein-kiririsa’ añateo, le hisikiñe lamba leny naho tsy ho amam-bolonañondry t’ie mitoloñe an-dalambein-kiririsa añate’e naho amy trañoy.
18 They shall wear linen turbans on their heads and linen underwear. They are not to wear anything that makes them sweat.
Ho aman-tsabaka leny ty añambone’ iareo, naho koloty leny ty ambania’e; vaho tsy hisikiñe ze hahatera-liñetse.
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.
Le ie miakatse mb’an-kiririsa alafe’e ao, mb’an-kiririsa ama’ ondaty mb’eo, le hafaha’ iareo hey o sikiñe nitoroñañeo naho halafike amo efetsefe miavakeo; le hiombe saroñe ila’e, tsy mone hampiavake ondatio amo siki’eo.
20 They are not permitted to shave their heads or let their hair grow long; they must have a proper haircut.
Tsy hañara-doha iereo, naho tsy hapoke ho lava o maroi’eo; fe ho tomotomoreñe o maroin’ añambone’eo.
21 No priest shall drink wine before he enters the inner courtyard.
Tsy hinon-divay ty mpisoroñe t’ie mizilik’ an-kiririsa añate’e ao.
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.
Tsy hañenga vantotse iereo, ndra ty narian-dahy, fa somondrara tariran’ anjomba’ Israele ndra ty vantotse remavoi’ ty mpisoroñe.
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.
Haò’ iereo ondatikoo ty hañambahañe ty masiñe ami’ty tsotra, vaho hampandrendreheñe ty faly naho ty malio.
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.
Ie eo ty fandierañe le hizaka’ iareo; hizaka amo fepèkoo; naho hañambeñe Hake naho o fañèko amo hene famantañakoo vaho ho masiñe’ iereo o Sabatekoo.
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.
Tsy haniva vatañe iereo ami’ty hizilihañe an-dolo ao; f’ie mahazo mandeo-batañe naho rae ndra rene, ana-dahy naho anak’ampela, vaho rahalahy ndra rahavave tsy manambaly.
26 Afterwards, once he is purified, he must wait for seven days.
Ie malio, le hañiahañe fito andro.
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.
Ie amy andro iziliha’e i toetse miavakey, an-kiririsa’ añate’e ao, hitoloña’e amy toetse miavakey, le hengae’e i engan-kakeo’ey, hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
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.
Izay ty ho lova iareo; Izaho o lova’ iareoo fa tsy ho tolorañe fanañañe e Israele ao; Izaho ro fanaña’ iareo.
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.
Ho kamae’ iereo ty enga-mahakama, naho ty engan-kakeo, naho ty engan-tahiñe, vaho ho a iareo ze raha natokañe e Israele ao.
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.
Le ho a o mpisoroñeo ze hene karazan-doha-voa, naho ze fonga enga ndra inoñe ty karaza’e boak’amo enga’ areo iabio; hatolo’ areo amo mpisoroñeo ka ty loha-voa fanoñaha’ areo, soa te hipetak’ añ’anjomba’ areo ty fañanitsiñe.
31 The priests are not permitted to eat any bird or animal found dead or killed by wild beasts.”
Tsy ho kamae’ o mpisoroñeo ty raha nimate boboke ndra rinimitse, he voroñe ke biby.
