< Ezekiel 46 >

1 This is what the Lord God says: “The east gate of the inner court is to be kept shut during the six working days, but it shall be opened on the Sabbath and on the day of the New Moon
“‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Ọnụ ụzọ ama nke ogige ime, nke na-eche ihu nʼọwụwa anyanwụ ga-abụ ihe e mechiri emechi nʼụbọchị isii niile unu na-arụ ọrụ. Ma a ga-emeghe ya nʼụbọchị izuike, na nʼụbọchị mmemme ọnwa ọhụrụ.
2 The prince must come through the gateway porch from outside and he will stand by the gatepost, and the priests will sacrifice his burnt offerings and peace offerings. He is to bow in respect at the gate's threshold of the gate and leave, but the gate is not to be shut until evening.
Nwa eze ga-esitekwa na mpụta ọnụ ụlọ nke ọnụ ụzọ ama bata, guzoro nʼakụkụ ọnụ ụzọ ama. Ndị nchụaja ga-edozikwa aja nsure ọkụ ya, na aja udo ya. Ọ ga-anọkwa nʼụlọ mbata kpọọ isiala nke ofufe ya, sitekwa nʼebe ahụ pụọ. Ma a gaghị emechi ọnụ ụzọ ahụ tutu ruo anyasị.
3 The people of Israel will also bow before the Lord at the gateway entrance on Sabbaths and New Moons.
Nʼihu ọnụ ụzọ ama ka ndị ala a ga-anọ fee Onyenwe anyị ofufe nʼụbọchị izuike na nʼụbọchị mmemme ọnwa ọhụrụ.
4 The burnt offering that the prince is to offer to the Lord on the Sabbath day shall be six male lambs and a ram, all without defects.
Ihe nwa eze ahụ ga-eji chụọrọ Onyenwe anyị aja nsure ọkụ nʼụbọchị izuike na nʼoge mmemme ọnwa ọhụrụ ga-abụ ụmụ ebule isii, na otu ebule, ndị na-enweghị ntụpọ.
5 The grain offering to accompany the ram shall be one ephah, and the grain offering with the lambs shall be as much as he chooses, together with a hin of olive oil for every ephah of grain.
Ọ ga-eweta ihe e ji achụ aja mkpụrụ ọka, nke bụ iri lita ụtụ ọka abụọ na abụọ, na otu ebule. Ọ ga-ewetakwa lita mmanụ oliv asaa maka iri lita ụtụ ọka abụọ na abụọ ahụ, tinyere onyinye ụmụ atụrụ dịka o si masị ya.
6 On the day of the New Moon he is to offer a young bull, six lambs, and a ram. They are all to be without defects.
Nʼụbọchị mmemme ọnwa ọhụrụ, ọ ga-eweta otu nwa oke ehi, ụmụ atụrụ isii na otu ebule, ha niile ọ dịghị nke ga-enwe ntụpọ ọbụla.
7 He is also to provide a grain offering of an ephah with the bull, an ephah with the ram, and as much as he is chooses with the lambs, together with a hin of olive oil for every ephah of grain.
Ọ ga-ewetakwa otu oke ehi na iri lita ụtụ ọka iri abụọ na abụọ, maka aja mkpụrụ ọka. Ọ ga-enye ebule ahụ na iri lita ụtụ ọka iri abụọ na abụọ. Ọ ga-enyekwa ụmụ atụrụ ndị ahụ na ụtụ ọka dịka o si masị ya inye ha, tinyere iri lita ọka abụọ na abụọ, nke ọ ga-eweta maka lita mmanụ oliv asaa.
8 When the prince enters, he is to come in through the gateway porch, and leave the same way.
Mgbe nwa eze ga-abata nʼụlọ ahụ, ọ ga-esite na mpụta ọnụ ụlọ nke ọnụ ụzọ ama, ebe ahụ kwa ka ọ ga-esikwa pụọ.
9 When the people of Israel gather before the Lord at the regular religious festivals, anyone who enters through the north gate to worship has to leave through the south gate, and anyone who enters through the south gate leave through the north gate. No one is allowed to go back through the same gate through which they entered. Everyone must leave by the opposite gate.
“‘Ma mgbe ndị ala ahụ ga-abata nʼihu Onyenwe anyị nʼoge mmemme dị nsọ, onye ọbụla sitere nʼọnụ ụzọ dị nʼugwu bata aghaghị ịpụ site nʼọnụ ụzọ nke dị na ndịda. Ndị si na ndịda bata ga-esitekwa nʼụzọ nke ugwu pụọ. Ọ dịghị onye ga-esi nʼụzọ o si bata laghachi, kama ha ga-esi ụzọ nke chere ebe ha si bata ihu pụọ.
10 The prince is to enter when the people do; and leave when they leave.
Nwa eze ga-anọ nʼetiti ha, ọ bụrụ na ha abanye, ọ ga-eso ha banye, ọ bụrụkwa na ha apụwa, ọ ga-esokwa ha pụọ.
11 At the religious festivals and regular meetings, the grain offering will be an ephah with a bull, an ephah with a ram, and as much as people choose with the lambs, together with a hin of olive oil for every ephah of grain.
Nʼoge mmemme ndị ahụ pụrụ iche, na mmemme ndị akara aka, ihe a ga-eji nye onyinye mkpụrụ ọka ga-abụ iri lita ụtụ ọka abụọ na abụọ, na otu oke ehi, na iri lita ụtụ ọka abụọ na abụọ na otu ebule, tinyere ụmụ atụrụ nke ọnụọgụgụ ya ga-abụ dịka o si masị ya, tinyere lita mmanụ asaa maka iri lita ụtụ ọka abụọ na abụọ ọbụla.
12 When the prince decides to make a freewill offering to the Lord, whether it's a burnt offering or a peace offering, the east gate is to be opened for him. He shall offer his burnt offering or peace offering in the same way he does on the Sabbath. When he leaves, the gate must be closed after him.
“‘Mgbe ọbụla onyeisi chọrọ inye onyinye afọ ofufu, maka ịchụrụ Onyenwe anyị aja nsure ọkụ maọbụ aja udo, a ga-emeghere ya ọnụ ụzọ ime nke dị nʼọwụwa anyanwụ ka o si nʼebe ahụ bata. Ọ ga-enye onyinye ya dịka e si enye ya nʼụbọchị izuike. Emesịa, ọ ga-atụgharịa pụọ. A ga-emechikwa ụzọ ahụ mgbe ọ pụchara.
13 Every morning a year-old lamb without defects is to be sacrificed as a daily burnt offering to the Lord.
“‘Ọ bụ nwa atụrụ gbara otu afọ nke na-enweghị ntụpọ ka ị ga-eweta ụbọchị niile maka ịchụ aja nsure ọkụ nye Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụ kwa ụtụtụ, kwa ụtụtụ ka ị ga-eweta ya.
14 Every morning a grain offering of a sixth of an ephah with a third of a hin of olive oil to moisten the best flour is to be provided as a grain offering to the Lord. This regulation is to be followed forever.
Ị ga-ewetakwa onyinye mkpụrụ ọka kwa ụtụtụ kwa ụtụtụ tinyere ya, ihe niile ga-emejupụta ya bụ lita ụtụ ọka isii, na lita mmanụ abụọ e ji agwakọta ya. Iche onyinye mkpụrụ ọka a nʼihu Onyenwe anyị bụ ụkpụrụ ga-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
15 Make sure the lamb, the grain offering, and the olive oil is presented every morning as a regular burnt offering.
Ya mere, ha ga-edozi nwa atụrụ na ụtụ ọka na mmanụ oliv ahụ, kwa ụtụtụ kwa ụtụtụ, maka aja nsure ọkụ a na-achụ kwa mgbe niile.
16 This is what the Lord God says: If the prince gives a gift of property to any of his sons to own, it will belong to his descendants. They will be able to inherit the property.
“‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, ọ bụrụ na onyeisi enye onye ọbụla nʼime ụmụ ya ndị ikom onyinye site nʼihe nketa ya, ihe ahụ ga-abụ nke ya, bụrụkwa nke mkpụrụ ya, ọ ga-abụ oke ha site nʼihe nketa ruo ebighị ebi.
17 However, if he gives a gift of his property to one of his servants, that servant will only own it until the Jubilee Year. Then ownership will return to the prince. His property that he passes on through inheritance belongs only to his sons—it is theirs.
Ọ bụrụkwanụ na o kenye otu nʼime ndị ohu ya ala site nʼihe nketa ya, ala ahụ ga-abụ nke ohu ahụ tutu ruo nʼafọ inwere onwe, nke bụ afọ asaa ọbụla. Mgbe ahụ, ohu ahụ ga-enwere onwe ya, ma ala ahụ ga-aghọkwa nke nwa eze ahụ. Ihe nketa ya bụ nke dịịrị naanị ụmụ ya, nke ha ka ọ bụ.
18 The prince is not to take people's land, driving them off their property. He is to give land to his sons from his own property, so that none of my people shall be evicted from their property.”
Nwa eze ahụ agaghị ewere ala ọbụla site nʼihe nketa ndị mmadụ nʼaka ike, si otu a chụpụ ha site nʼala ha. Ala ọbụla ọ na-enye ụmụ ya ga-abụrịrị ihe nketa sitere nʼala nke aka ya. Ka a ghara ime ka ọ bụladị otu nʼime ndị m bụrụ onye e kewapụrụ site nʼihe nketa ha.’”
19 The man took me through the entrance beside the gate into the north-facing holy rooms that belonged to the priests. He showed me a place at the far western end
Mgbe nke a gasịrị, o duuru m site nʼọnụ ụzọ dị nʼakụkụ ọnụ ụzọ ama kpọbata m nʼọnụụlọ ndị ahụ dị nsọ, nke chere ihu nʼugwu, nke bụ ihe nketa ndị nchụaja. O gosiri m otu ebe dị na nsọtụ akụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ.
20 and told me, “This is where the priests cook guilt offerings and sin offerings, and where they bake the grain offering. This is so that they don't take them to the outer courtyard and carry holiness to the people.”
Ọ sịrị m, “Ebe a ka ndị nchụaja ga-anọ sie anụ aja ikpe ọmụma na aja mmehie. Ebe a ka ha ga-anọkwa ghee onyinye mkpụrụ ọka, ka a ghara iwebata ha na mpụta ogige a nakwa ido ndị mmadụ nsọ.”
21 He took me into the outer courtyard and led me to each of its four corners. I saw a separate courtyard in each corner.
Mgbe ahụ, o mere ka m pụta ọzọ nʼogige ezi. O duuru m gaa nʼakụkụ anọ nke ogige ahụ. Ahụrụ m na e nwere ogige nke dị nʼakụkụ ọbụla.
22 There were separate walled courtyards in the four corners of the outer courtyard. They each measured forty cubits by thirty cubits—they were all the same size.
Nʼakụkụ anọ nke ogige ndị a, ogige ndị ọzọ dị nʼime ha. Ha ruru mita iri abụọ na atọ nʼogologo, ebe obosara ha rukwara mita iri na asaa nʼọkara. Ogige anọ ndị a ha nʼotu.
23 Each of the four courts had a stone ledge with ovens built into the base of the walls on every side.
Nʼime ụlọ ahụ, gburugburu ya, e nwere ahịrị e ji nkume doo, nke nwere ekwu dị nʼokpuru ahịrị nkume ahụ.
24 He told me, “These are the kitchens where those who serve in the Temple will cook the people's sacrificial offerings.”
Ọ sịrị m, “Ndị a bụ ụlọ ebe ndị niile na-eje ozi nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ ga-anọ na-esi ihe aja niile ndị mmadụ webatara.”
