Ezekiel 40
1 In the fiue and twentieth yeere of our being in captiuitie, in the beginning of the yeere, in the tenth day of the moneth, in the fourteenth yeere after that the citie was smitten, in the selfe same day, the hande of the Lord was vpon mee, and brought me thither.
Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amabili lanhlanu wokuthunjwa kwethu, ekuqaliseni komnyaka, ngolwetshumi lwenyanga, ngomnyaka wetshumi lane emva kokuthi umuzi usutshayiwe, ngalona lolosuku isandla seNkosi saba phezu kwami, wangiletha lapho.
2 Into the lande of Israel brought he me by a diuine vision, and set me vpon a very hie mountaine, whereupon was as the building of a citie, toward the South.
Ngemibono kaNkulunkulu wangisa elizweni lakoIsrayeli, wangibeka phezu kwentaba ende kakhulu; njalo eceleni kwayo kwakulokunjengesakhiwo somuzi ngaseningizimu.
3 And he brought me thither, and beholde, there was a man, whose similitude was to looke to, like brasse, with a linnen thread in his hand, and a reede to measure with: and he stoode at the gate.
Wasengiletha khona, khangela-ke, kwakulomuntu osimo sakhe sasinjengesimo sethusi, elentambo yefilakisi esandleni sakhe, lomhlanga wokulinganisa; wema-ke esangweni.
4 And the man said vnto me, Sonne of man, beholde with thine eyes, and heare with thine eares, and set thine heart vpon all that I shall shew thee: for to the intent, that they might be shewed thee, art thou brought hither: declare al that thou seest, vnto the house of Israel.
Lowomuntu wasesithi kimi: Ndodana yomuntu, bona ngamehlo akho, uzwe ngendlebe zakho, ubeke inhliziyo yakho phezu kwakho konke engizakutshengisa khona; ngoba ulethwe lapha ukuze ngikutshengise khona. Landisa konke okubonayo kuyo indlu yakoIsrayeli.
5 And beholde, I sawe a wall on the outside of the house round about: and in the mans hand was a reede to measure with, of sixe cubites long, by the cubite, and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the buylding with one reede, and the height with one reede.
Khangela-ke, kwakulomduli ngaphandle kwendlu ozingelezeleyo inhlangothi zonke, lesandleni somuntu kwakulomhlanga wokulinganisa wezingalo eziyisithupha, ngengalo lobubanzi besandla. Waselinganisa ububanzi besakhiwo, baba ngumhlanga owodwa, lokuphakama, kwaba ngumhlanga owodwa.
6 Then came he vnto the gate, which looketh towarde the East, and went vp the stayres thereof, and measured the poste of the gate, which was one reede broade, and the other poste of the gate, which was one reede broade.
Wasesiza esangweni elikhangele indlela yempumalanga, wakhwela ngezinyathelo zalo, walinganisa umbundu wesango, ububanzi baba ngumhlanga owodwa, lomunye umbundu, ububanzi baba ngumhlanga owodwa.
7 And euery chamber was one reede long, and one reede broad, and betweene the chambers were fiue cubites: and the post of the gate by the porch of the gate within was one reede.
Njalo yilelo lalelokamelo, ubude baba ngumhlanga owodwa, lobubanzi baba ngumhlanga owodwa; laphakathi kwamakamelo kwaba yizingalo ezinhlanu; lombundu wesango ngasekhulusini lesango ngaphakathi waba ngumhlanga owodwa.
8 He measured also the porche of the gate within with one reede.
Walinganisa lekhulusi lesango ngaphakathi, laba ngumhlanga owodwa.
9 Then measured he the porch of the gate of eight cubites, and the postes thereof, of two cubites, and the porch of the gate was inward.
Waselinganisa ikhulusi lesango, laba yizingalo eziyisificaminwembili; lemigubazi yawo, yaba zingalo ezimbili; lekhulusi lesango lalingaphakathi.
10 And the chambers of the gate Eastwarde, were three on this side, and three on that side: they three were of one measure, and the postes had one measure on this side, and one on that side.
Lamakamelo esango ngendlela yempumalanga ayemathathu ngapha lamathathu ngapha; njalo womathathu ayelesilinganiso sinye; lemigubazi yayilesilinganiso sinye ngapha langapha.
11 And he measured the breadth of the entrie of the gate ten cubites, and the height of the gate thirteene cubites.
Waselinganisa ububanzi bentuba yesango, baba yizingalo ezilitshumi; ubude besango, baba yizingalo ezilitshumi lantathu.
12 The space also before the chambers was one cubite on this side, and the space was one cubite on that side, and the chambers were sixe cubites on this side and sixe cubites on that side.
Lomkhawulo phambi kwamakamelo wawuyingalo eyodwa ngapha, lomkhawulo wengalo eyodwa ngapha; lekamelo laliyizingalo eziyisithupha ngapha, lezingalo eziyisithupha ngapha.
13 He measured then the gate from the roufe of a chamber to the toppe of the gate: the breadth was fiue and twentie cubites, doore against doore.
Waselinganisa isango kusukela ephahleni lwelinye ikamelo kusiya ephahleni lwelinye; ububanzi babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu, umnyango phambi komnyango.
14 He made also postes of threescore cubites, and the postes of the court, and of the gate had one measure round about.
Wenza futhi imigubazi yaba zingalo ezingamatshumi ayisithupha, ngitsho kuze kube semgubazini weguma inhlangothi zonke zesango zizingelezele.
15 And vpon the forefront of the entry of the gate vnto the forefront of the porch of the gate within were fiftie cubites.
Njalo kusukela ebusweni besango lokungena kuze kube sebusweni bekhulusi lesango elingaphakathi kwaba zingalo ezingamatshumi amahlanu.
16 And there were narrowe windowes in the chambers, and in their postes within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches: and the windowes went rounde about within: and vpon the postes were palme trees.
Futhi kwakulamawindi avaliweyo emakamelweni, lasemigubazini yawo ngaphakathi kwesango inhlangothi zonke azingelezeleyo; langokunjalo amakhulusi; lamawindi inhlangothi zonke azingelezeleyo ngaphakathi; laphezu kwemigubazi kwakulezihlahla zelala.
17 Then brought he me into the outwarde court, and lo, there were chambers, and a pauement made for the court round about, and thirtie chambers were vpon the pauement.
Wasengingenisa egumeni elingaphandle, khangela-ke, kwakulamakamelo, lendawo egandelweyo eyenzelwe iguma inhlangothi zonke ezingelezeleyo; kwakulamakamelo angamatshumi amathathu phezu kwendawo egandelweyo.
18 And the pauement was by the side of the gates ouer against the length of the gates, and the pauement was beneath.
Lendawo egandelweyo yayingasemasangweni maqondana lobude bamasango; kwakuyindawo egandelweyo engaphansi.
19 Then hee measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate without, vnto the forefront of the court within, an hundreth cubits Eastward and Northward.
Waselinganisa ububanzi, kusukela ngaphambi kwesango elingaphansi kusiya ngaphambi kweguma elingaphakathi ngaphandle, kwaba yizingalo ezilikhulu, ngasempumalanga langasenyakatho.
20 And the gate of the outwarde court, that looked toward the North, measured he after the length and breadth thereof.
Lesango elikhangele indlela yenyakatho, kulo iguma elingaphandle, walinganisa ubude balo lobubanzi balo.
21 And the chambers thereof were, three on this side, and three on that side, and the postes thereof and the arches thereof were after the measure of the first gate: the length thereof was fiftie cubites, and the breadth fiue and twentie cubites.
Lamakamelo alo ayemathathu ngapha, njalo emathathu ngapha; lemigubazi yalo lamakhulusi alo kwakunjengesilinganiso sesango lokuqala. Ubude balo babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amahlanu, lobubanzi buzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu.
22 And their windowes, and their arches with their palme trees, were after the measure of the gate that looketh toward the East, and the going vp vnto it had seuen steppes, and the arches therof were before them.
Lamawindi alo lamakhulusi alo lezihlahla zalo zelala kwakunjengesilinganiso sesango elikhangele indlela yempumalanga. Njalo benyukela kilo ngezinyathelo eziyisikhombisa; lamakhulusi alo ayephambi kwakho.
23 And the gate of the inner court stoode ouer against the gate towarde the North, and towarde the East, and hee measured from gate to gate an hundreth cubites.
Lesango leguma elingaphakathi lalimaqondana lesango elingasenyakatho langasempumalanga. Waselinganisa kusukela esangweni kusiya esangweni, kwaba zingalo ezilikhulu.
24 After that, he brought mee towarde the South, and loe, there was a gate towarde the South, and hee measured the postes thereof, and the arches thereof according to these measures.
Emva kwalokho wangiletha ngendlela yeningizimu, khangela-ke, kwakukhona isango ngasendleleni yeningizimu; waselinganisa imigubazi yalo lamakhulusi alo njengokwalezizilinganiso.
25 And there were windowes in it, and in the arches thereof round about, like those windowes: the height was fiftie cubites, and the breadth fiue and twentie cubites.
Kwakukhona amawindi kilo lakuwo amakhulusi alo azingelezeleyo inhlangothi zonke, njengalawomawindi. Ubude babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amahlanu, lobubanzi buzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu.
26 And there were seuen steps to go vp to it, and the arches thereof were before them: and it had palme trees, one on this side, and another on that side vpon the post thereof.
Kwakukhona izinyathelo eziyisikhombisa zokwenyukela kilo, lamakhulusi alo ayephambi kwazo; njalo lalilezihlahla zelala, esinye ngapha, lesinye ngapha, phezu kwemigubazi yalo.
27 And there was a gate in the inner court towarde the South, and he measured from gate to gate towarde the South an hundreth cubites.
Kwakukhona isango egumeni elingaphakathi ngendlela yeningizimu; waselinganisa kusukela esangweni kusiya esangweni ngendlela yeningizimu, kwaba zingalo ezilikhulu.
28 And he brought me into the inner court by the South gate, and he measured the South gate according to these measures,
Wasengiletha egumeni elingaphakathi ngesango leningizimu, walinganisa isango leningizimu njengokwezilinganiso lezi.
29 And the chambers thereof, and the postes thereof, and the arches thereof according to these measures, and there were windowes in it, and in the arches thereof rounde about, it was fiftie cubites long and fiue and twentie cubites broade.
Lamakamelo alo lemigubazi yalo lamakhulusi alo kwakunjengokwezilinganiso lezi. Njalo kwakukhona amawindi kilo lakuwo amakhulusi alo inhlangothi zonke azingelezeleyo. Lobude babuyizingalo ezingamatshumi amahlanu, lobubanzi babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu.
30 And the arches round about were fiue and twenty cubites long, and fiue cubites broad.
Kwakulamakhulusi azingelezeleyo inhlangothi zonke; ubude babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu, lobubanzi babuzingalo ezinhlanu.
31 And the arches thereof were towarde the vtter court, and palme trees were vpon the postes thereof, and the going vp to it had eight steppes.
Lamakhulusi alo aba ngasegumeni elingaphandle, lezihlahla zelala zaziphezu kwemigubazi yalo, lokwenyukela kilo kwakulezinyathelo eziyisificaminwembili.
32 Againe he brought me into ye inner court toward the East, and he measured the gate according to these measures.
Wasengiletha egumeni elingaphakathi ngasendleleni yempumalanga; walinganisa isango njengokwezilinganiso lezi.
33 And the chambers thereof, and the postes thereof, and the arches thereof were according to these measures, and there were windowes therein, and in the arches thereof round about, it was fiftie cubites long, and fiue and twentie cubites broade.
Lamakamelo alo lemigubazi yalo lamakhulusi alo kwakunjengokwezilinganiso lezi; kwakukhona amawindi kilo lakuwo amakhulusi alo inhlangothi zonke kuzingelezele. Ubude babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amahlanu, lobubanzi babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu.
34 And the arches thereof were towarde the vtter court, and palme trees were vpon the postes thereof, on this side and on that side, and the going vp to it had eight steppes.
Lamakhulusi alo ayengasegumeni elingaphandle; lezihlahla zelala zazisemigubazini yalo, ngapha langapha; lokwenyukela kilo kwakulezinyathelo eziyisificaminwembili.
35 After he brought mee to the North gate, and measured it, according to these measures,
Wasengisa esangweni elingenyakatho, walinganisa njengezilinganiso lezi.
36 The chambers thereof, the postes thereof, and the arches thereof, and there were windowes therein round about: the height was fiftie cubits, and the breadth fiue and twentie cubites.
Amakamelo alo, imigubazi yalo, lamakhulusi alo, lamawindi ayekulo inhlangothi zonke azingelezeleyo; ubude babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amahlanu, lobubanzi buzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu.
37 And the postes thereof were towarde the vtter court, and palme trees were vpon the postes thereof on this side, and on that side, and the going vp to it had eight steps.
Lemigubazi yalo yayingasegumeni elingaphandle, lezihlahla zelala zazisemigubazini yalo, ngapha langapha; lokwenyukela kilo kwakulezinyathelo eziyisificaminwembili.
38 And euery chamber, and the entrie thereof was vnder the postes of the gates: there they washed the burnt offring.
Njalo amakamelo leminyango yalo kwakungasemigubazini yamasango; lapho babegezisela umnikelo wokutshiswa.
39 And in the porch of the gate stoode two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, vpon the which they slew the burnt offring, and the sinne offring, and the trespas offring.
Lekhulusini lesango kwakukhona amatafula amabili ngapha, lamatafula amabili ngapha, ukuhlabela phezu kwawo umnikelo wokutshiswa lomnikelo wesono lomnikelo wecala.
40 And at the side beyond the steppes, at the entry of the North gate stoode two tables, and on the other side, which was at the porch of the gate were two tables.
Laseceleni ngaphandle ekwenyukeleni kuso isivalo sesango lenyakatho kwakulamatafula amabili, laseceleni elinye elingasekhulusini lesango kwakulamatafula amabili.
41 Foure tables were on this side, and foure tables on that side by the side of the gate, euen eight tables whereupon they slew their sacrifice.
Amatafula amane ngapha, lamatafula amane ngapha, ngaseceleni kwesango; amatafula ayisificaminwembili, ababehlabela phezu kwawo.
42 And the foure tables were of hewen stone for the burnt offering, of a cubite and an halfe long, and a cubite and an halfe broade, and one cubite hie: whereupon also they layde the instruments wherewith they slew the burnt offring and the sacrifice.
Lamatafula amane omnikelo wokutshiswa awamatshe abaziweyo; ubude babuyingalo eyodwa lengxenye, lobubanzi babuyingalo eyodwa lengxenye, lokuphakama kwakuyingalo eyodwa. Phezu kwawo babeka izikhali abahlaba ngazo umnikelo wokutshiswa lomhlatshelo.
43 And within were borders an hand broade, fastened round about, and vpon the tables lay the flesh of the offring.
Kwakulezingwegwe, eziyibubanzi besandla sinye, zimisiwe ngaphakathi inhlangothi zonke ezizingelezeleyo; laphezu kwamatafula kwakulenyama yomnikelo.
44 And without the inner gate were ye chambers of the singers in the inner Court, which was at the side of the North gate: and their prospect was towarde the South, and one was at the side of the East gate, hauing the prospect towarde the North.
Langaphandle kwesango elingaphakathi kwakulamakamelo abahlabeleli egumeni elingaphakathi, elaliseceleni kwesango elisenyakatho, lokukhangela kwalo kusendleleni yeningizimu; elilodwa liseceleni kwesango eliseningizimu, likhangele ngasendleleni yenyakatho.
45 And he said vnto me, This chamber whose prospect is towarde the South, is for the Priestes that haue the charge to keepe the house.
Wasesithi kimi: Lelikamelo okukhangela kwalo kusendleleni yeningizimu, lingelabapristi, abagcina umlindo wendlu.
46 And the chamber whose prospect is toward the North, is for the Priestes that haue the charge to keepe the altar: these are the sonnes of Zadok among ye sonnes of Leui which may come neere to the Lord to minister vnto him.
Lekamelo okukhangela kwalo kusendleleni yenyakatho lingelabapristi, abagcina umlindo welathi. La ngamadodana kaZadoki phakathi kwamadodana kaLevi, asondela eNkosini ukuyikhonza.
47 So he measured the court, an hundreth cubites long, and an hundreth cubits broad, eue foure square: likewise the altar that was before ye house.
Waselinganisa iguma; ubude baba zingalo ezilikhulu, lobubanzi baba zingalo ezilikhulu, lilingene inhlangothi zozine; lelathi laliphambi kwendlu.
48 And hee brought mee to the porch of the house, and measured the postes of the porch, fiue cubites on this side, and fiue cubites on that side: and the breadth of the gate was three cubites on this side, and three cubites on that side.
Wasengiletha ekhulusini lendlu, walinganisa umgubazi wekhulusi, izingalo ezinhlanu ngapha lezingalo ezinhlanu ngapha, lobubanzi besango, izingalo ezintathu ngapha, lezingalo ezintathu ngapha.
49 The length of the porch was twentie cubites, and ye breadth eleuen cubites, and he brought me by the steps whereby they went vp to it, and there were pillars by the postes, one on this side, and another on that side.
Ubude bekhulusi babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili, lobubanzi buzingalo ezilitshumi lanye; wasengiletha ngezinyathelo abenyukela kulo ngazo; futhi kwakulezinsika ngasemigubazini, enye ngapha, lenye ngapha.
