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
Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Isango leguma elingaphakathi elikhangele ngasempumalanga lizavaleka insuku eziyisithupha zokusebenza. Kodwa ngosuku lwesabatha lizavulwa, langosuku lokuthwasa kwenyanga lizavulwa.
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.
Njalo isiphathamandla sizangena ngendlela yekhulusi lalelosango sivela phandle, sime emgubazini wesango. Abapristi balungise umnikelo waso wokutshiswa leminikelo yaso yokuthula, sona sizakhonza sisembundwini wesango, siphume; kodwa isango kaliyikuvalwa kuze kube kusihlwa.
3 The people of Israel will also bow before the Lord at the gateway entrance on Sabbaths and New Moons.
Ngokunjalo abantu belizwe bazakhonza emnyango walelisango ngamasabatha langokuthwasa kwezinyanga phambi kweNkosi.
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.
Lomnikelo wokutshiswa isiphathamandla esizawunikela eNkosini ngosuku lwesabatha uzakuba ngamawundlu ayisithupha angelasici, lenqama engelasici.
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.
Lomnikelo wokudla uzakuba yi-efa ngenqama, lomnikelo wokudla ngamawundlu uzakuba yisipho sesandla saso, kanye lehini yamafutha nge-efa.
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.
Langosuku lokuthwasa kwenyanga kuzakuba lijongosi ithole lenkomo elingelasici, lamawundlu ayisithupha, lenqama; kungabi lasici.
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.
Njalo sizalungisa umnikelo wokudla, i-efa ngejongosi, le-efa ngenqama, langamawundlu njengalokho isandla saso singafinyelela kukho, lehini lamafutha nge-efa.
8 When the prince enters, he is to come in through the gateway porch, and leave the same way.
Lalapho isiphathamandla singena, sizangena ngendlela yekhulusi lalelosango, siphume ngendlela yalo.
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.
Kodwa lapho abantu belizwe besiza phambi kweNkosi emikhosini emisiweyo, lowo ongena ngendlela yesango elingenyakatho ukuzakhonza uzaphuma ngendlela yesango elingeningizimu, longena ngendlela yesango elingeningizimu uzaphuma ngendlela yesango elingenyakatho. Kayikubuyela ngendlela yesango angene ngalo, kodwa uzaphuma maqondana lalo.
10 The prince is to enter when the people do; and leave when they leave.
Lesiphathamandla sizangena siphakathi kwabo lapho bengena; lalapho bephuma sizaphuma.
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.
Lemadilini lemikhosini emisiweyo umnikelo wokudla uzakuba li-efa ngejongosi, le-efa ngenqama, lesipho sesandla sakhe ngamawundlu, lehini lamafutha nge-efa.
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.
Lalapho isiphathamandla silungisa umnikelo wesihle, umnikelo wokutshiswa, loba iminikelo yokuthula, umnikelo wesihle eNkosini, omunye uzasivulela isango elikhangele ngasempumalanga, silungise umnikelo waso wokutshiswa, leminikelo yaso yokuthula, njengokwenza kwaso ngosuku lwesabatha; siphume, njalo omunye uzavala isango emva kokuphuma kwaso.
13 Every morning a year-old lamb without defects is to be sacrificed as a daily burnt offering to the Lord.
Njalo uzalungisa iwundlu elilomnyaka munye elingelasici libe ngumnikelo wokutshiswa eNkosini insuku zonke. Uzalilungisa ngaleyo laleyo ikuseni.
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.
Futhi uzalilungisela umnikelo wokudla ngaleyo laleyo ikuseni, ingxenye yesithupha ye-efa, lengxenye yesithathu yehini yamafutha, ukuthambisa impuphu ecolekileyo, kube ngumnikelo wokudla eNkosini, ngezimiso eziphakade njalonjalo.
15 Make sure the lamb, the grain offering, and the olive oil is presented every morning as a regular burnt offering.
Ngokunjalo bazalungisa iwundlu lomnikelo wokudla lamafutha ngaleyo laleyo ikuseni kube ngumnikelo wokutshiswa njalonjalo.
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.
Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Uba isiphathamandla sinika isipho kuloba yiyiphi yamadodana aso, ilifa laso, amadodana aso azakuba lalo, lizakuba yimpahla yawo ngokwelifa.
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.
Kodwa uba sinika isipho selifa laso kwenye yezinceku zaso, sizakuba ngesayo kuze kube ngumnyaka wenkululeko; khona sizabuyela kusiphathamandla; kodwa siyilifa laso, amadodana aso azakuba laso.
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.”
Futhi isiphathamandla kasiyikuthatha ulutho elifeni labantu ukubacindezela basuke emfuyweni yabo; sizanika ilifa emadodaneni aso emfuyweni yaso; ukuze abantu bami bangahlakazwa ngulowo asuke emfuyweni yakhe.
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
Wasengingenisa ekungeneni, okwakuseceleni kwesango, kusiya emakamelweni angcwele abapristi, akhangele ngasenyakatho; khangela-ke kwakulendawo kunhlangothi zombili ngasentshonalanga.
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.”
Wasesithi kimi: Yiyo le indawo lapho abapristi abazaphekela khona umnikelo wecala lomnikelo wesono, lapho abazabhakela khona umnikelo wokudla, ukuze bangakukhupheli egumeni elingaphandle, ukungcwelisa abantu.
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.
Wasengikhuphela egumeni elingaphandle, wangidlulisa engonsini zozine zeguma; khangela-ke, kuleyo laleyongonsi yeguma kwakulelinye iguma.
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.
Ezingonsini zozine zeguma kwakulamaguma ahlanganisiweyo; ubude babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amane, lobubanzi babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amathathu; lezizingonsi zozine zazilesilinganiso sinye.
23 Each of the four courts had a stone ledge with ovens built into the base of the walls on every side.
Njalo kwakulomzila wesakhiwo inhlangothi zonke kuzo, inhlangothi zonke zozine, njalo kwenziwe amaziko okubilisa ngaphansi kwemizila yesakhiwo inhlangothi zonke.
24 He told me, “These are the kitchens where those who serve in the Temple will cook the people's sacrificial offerings.”
Wasesithi kimi: Lezi yizindlu zokuphekela, lapho abakhonzi bendlu abazaphekela khona umhlatshelo wabantu.
