< Ezekiel 44 >

1 Then he brought me towarde the gate of the outwarde Sanctuarie, which turneth towarde the East, and it was shut.
Ningĩ mũndũ ũcio akĩnjookia nginya kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa nyumĩrĩra ya handũ-harĩa-haamũre, kĩrĩa kĩangʼetheire mwena wa irathĩro, nakĩo kĩarĩ kĩhinge.
2 Then saide the Lord vnto me, This gate shalbe shut, and shall not bee opened, and no man shall enter by it, because the Lord God of Israel hath entred by it, and it shalbe shut.
Nake Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Kĩhingo gĩkĩ kĩrĩikaraga kĩrĩ kĩhinge. Gĩtikanahingũrwo; gũtirĩ mũndũ ũgaagĩtoonyera. Kĩrĩikaraga kĩhingĩtwo tondũ nĩkĩo Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, aatoonyeire.
3 It appertaineth to the Prince: the Prince himselfe shall sit in it to eate bread before the Lord: he shall enter by the way of the porche of that gate, and shall go out by the way of the same.
Mũthamaki we mwene nowe wiki ũngĩikara mwena wa thĩinĩ wa itoonyero rĩu na arĩĩre irio hau mbere ya Jehova. Arĩĩtoonyagĩra gĩthaku gĩa itoonyero rĩu, na akiuma na nja akoimĩra njĩra o ro ĩyo.”
4 Then brought he mee toward the North gate before the House: and when I looked, beholde, the glorie of the Lord filled the house of the Lord, and I fell vpon my face.
Ningĩ mũndũ ũcio akĩndwara na njĩra ya kĩhingo kĩa mwena wa gathigathini nginya hau mbere ya hekarũ. Ngĩcũthĩrĩria, ngĩona riiri wa Jehova ũiyũrĩte hekarũ ĩyo ya Jehova, na niĩ ngĩĩgũithia, ngĩturumithia ũthiũ thĩ.
5 And the Lord sayd vnto me, Sonne of man, marke well, and behold with thine eyes, and heare with thine eares, all that I say vnto thee, concerning al the ordinances of the house of the Lord, and al the lawes thereof, and marke well the entring in of the house with euery going forth of the Sanctuarie,
Nake Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, rora wega, na ũthikĩrĩrie wega, na ũrũmbũiye maũndũ mothe marĩa ngũkwĩra makoniĩ mawatho mothe megiĩ hekarũ ya Jehova. Rũmbũiya ũhoro wa itoonyero rĩa hekarũ, na njĩra ciothe cia kuuma handũ-harĩa-haamũre.
6 And thou shalt say to the rebellious, euen to ye house of Israel, Thus saith ye Lord God, O house of Israel, ye haue ynough of al your abominations,
Ĩra andũ aya aremi a nyũmba ya Isiraeli atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Inyuĩ andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli, maũndũ manyu ma magigi nĩmaiganĩte!
7 Seeing that yee haue brought into my Sanctuarie strangers, vncircumcised in heart, and vncircumcised in flesh, to bee in my Sanctuarie, to pollute mine house, when yee offer my bread, euen fat, and blood: and they haue broken my couenant, because of all your abominations.
Hamwe na maũndũ marĩa mothe marĩ magigi mwekire, nĩmwatoonyirie andũ a kũngĩ matarĩ aruu ngoro na mwĩrĩ handũ-hakwa-harĩa-haamũre, mũgĩthaahia hekarũ yakwa rĩrĩa mwandutĩire irio, na maguta, na thakame, na mũgĩthũkia kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa.
8 For yee haue not kept the ordinances of mine holy things: but you your selues haue set other to take the charge of my Sanctuarie.
Handũ ha kũruta wĩra wanyu ũrĩa wagĩrĩire ũkoniĩ maũndũ makwa marĩa matheru, mwatuire andũ angĩ arũgamĩrĩri a handũ-hakwa-harĩa-haamũre.
9 Thus saieth the Lord God, No stranger vncircumcised in heart, nor vncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my Sanctuarie, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel,
Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Gũtirĩ mũndũ wa kũngĩ ũtarĩ mũruu ngoro na mwĩrĩ ũngĩtoonya handũ-hakwa-harĩa-haamũre, o na angĩkorwo nĩ andũ a kũngĩ arĩa matũũranagia na andũ a Isiraeli.
10 Neither yet ye Leuites that are gone backe from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray from thee after their idoles, but they shall beare their iniquitie.
“‘Alawii arĩa maanjehereire makĩndaihĩrĩria hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli maaturuurire na makĩehera harĩ niĩ makĩrũmĩrĩra mĩhianano yao-rĩ, no nginya magaacookererwo nĩ mehia mao.
11 And they shall serue in my Sanctuarie, and keepe the gates of the House, and minister in the House: they shall slay the burnt offring and the sacrifice for the people: and they shall stand before them to serue them.
Andũ acio no matungatage handũ-hakwa-harĩa-haamũre, na maikaragie ihingo cia hekarũ o na matungatage thĩinĩ wayo; no mathĩnje nyamũ cia maruta ma njino, na marutagĩre andũ magongona mao, na marũgamage mbere ya andũ makamatungatĩra.
12 Because they serued before their idoles, and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquitie, therfore haue I lift vp mine had against the, saith the Lord God, and they shall beare their iniquity,
No rĩrĩ, tondũ nĩo maamatungatĩire marĩ mbere ya mĩhianano yao, na magĩtũma andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli magũe mehia-inĩ-rĩ, nĩ ũndũ ũcio na niĩ nĩndĩhĩtĩte njoete guoko na igũrũ atĩ no nginya magaacookererwo nĩ mehia mao, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
13 And they shall not come neere vnto me to do ye office of ye Priest vnto me, neyther shall they come neere vnto any of mine holy things in the most holy place, but they shall beare their shame and their abominations, which they haue comitted.
Andũ acio matigacooka kũnguhĩrĩria mandungatagĩre ta athĩnjĩri-Ngai, kana makuhĩrĩrie kĩndũ o na kĩrĩkũ kĩa indo ciakwa iria theru, kana maruta makwa marĩa matheru mũno; no nginya magaacookererwo nĩ gĩconoko kĩa maũndũ marĩa marĩ magigi maneeka.
14 And I will make them keepers of ye watch of the House, for all the seruice thereof, and for all that shalbe done therein.
No nĩngamatua arũgamĩrĩri a maũndũ ma hekarũ, na mawĩra mothe marĩa mabataire kũrutwo kũu thĩinĩ.
15 But the Priests of the Leuites, the sonnes of Zadok, that kept the charge of my Sanctuarie, when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come neere to me to serue me, and they shall stande before me to offer me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord God.
“‘No rĩrĩ, athĩnjĩri-Ngai, acio marĩ Alawii na a rũciaro rwa Zadoku, o acio maarutire mawĩra ma handũ-hakwa-harĩa-haamũre na wĩhokeku rĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli meeherire makiuma harĩ niĩ, nĩo marĩnguhagĩrĩria makandungatĩra; marĩrũgamaga mbere yakwa makaruta magongona ma maguta na ma thakame, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
16 They shall enter into my Sanctuarie, and shall come neere to my table, to serue me, and they shall keepe my charge.
Acio oiki nĩo marĩtoonyaga handũ-hakwa-harĩa-haamũre; acio oiki nĩo marĩĩkuhagĩrĩria metha yakwa makandungatĩra na makaruta wĩra wakwa.
17 And whe they shall enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments, and no wool shall come vpon the while they serue in ye gates of the inner court, and within.
“‘Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa megũtoonya ihingo-inĩ cia nja ya na thĩinĩ, marĩĩhumbaga nguo cia gatani; matikanehumbe nguo o na ĩmwe ya guoya wa ngʼondu hĩndĩ ĩrĩa megũtungata ihingo-inĩ cia nja ĩrĩa ya na thĩinĩ, kana kũu hekarũ thĩinĩ.
18 They shall haue linnen bonets vpon their heades, and shall haue linnen breeches vpon their loynes: they shall not girde them selues in the sweating places.
Nĩmeyohage iremba cia gatani mĩtwe, na nguo cia gatani cia thĩinĩ njohero-inĩ. Matikanehumbe kĩndũ o na kĩrĩkũ kĩngĩtũma mathigine.
19 But when they goe foorth into the vtter court, euen to the vtter court to the people, they shall put off their garments, wherein they ministred, and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on other garments: for they shall not sanctifie the people with their garments.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mekuuma matoonye nja ya nyumĩrĩra kũrĩa andũ marĩ-rĩ, makaruta nguo iria megũtungataga nacio, na magacitiga tũnyũmba-inĩ tũrĩa twamũre, na makehumba nguo ingĩ, nĩgeetha matikae kwamũra andũ acio na ũndũ wa nguo icio ciao.
20 They shall not also shaue their heades, nor suffer their lockes to growe long, but rounde their heades.
“‘Matikanenjwo njuĩrĩ ĩthire mĩtwe, kana mareke njuĩrĩ ciao iraihe mũno, no nĩ maigage njuĩrĩ ciao cia mĩtwe irĩ nenge.
21 Neither shall any Priest drinke wine when they enter into the inner court.
Ningĩ gũtikanagĩe na mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũkũnyua ndibei rĩrĩa egũtoonya nja ya na thĩinĩ.
22 Neither shall they take for their wiues a widowe, or her that is diuorced: but they shall take maidens of the seede of the house of Israel, or a widow that hath bene the widow of a Priest.
Matikanahikie atumia a ndigwa, kana mahikie atumia arĩa matiganĩte na athuuri ao; no rĩrĩ, no mahikie airĩtu gathirange a rũciaro rwa andũ a Isiraeli, kana atumia a ndigwa a athĩnjĩri-Ngai.
23 And they shall teach my people the difference betweene the holy and prophane, and cause them to discerne betweene the vncleane and the cleane.
No nginya marutage andũ akwa ũtiganu wa maũndũ marĩa matheru na marĩa ma ndũire, na mamoonagie gũkũũrana maũndũ marĩa marĩ thaahu na marĩa matarĩ thaahu.
24 And in controuersie they shall stande to iudge, and they shall iudge it according to my iudgements: and they shall keepe my lawes and my statutes in all mine assemblies, and they shall sanctifie my Sabbaths.
“‘Kũngĩgĩa ngarari-rĩ, athĩnjĩri-Ngai no nginya matuithanagie ciira, na maũtue kũringana na matuĩro makwa ma ciira. Nĩmarĩmenyagĩrĩra mawatho makwa na kĩrĩra kĩa watho wakwa wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo igũrũ rĩa ciathĩ ciakwa ciothe iria njathane, na maikaragie Thabatũ ciakwa irĩ theru.
25 And they shall come at no dead person to defile theselues, except at their father, or mother, or sone, or daughter, brother or sister, that hath had yet none husband: in these may they be defiled.
“‘Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ndakanethaahie na ũndũ wa gũkuhĩrĩria kĩimba; no rĩrĩ, ũrĩa ũkuĩte angĩkorwo nĩ ithe kana nyina, kana mũriũ kana mwarĩ, kana mũrũ wa nyina kana mwarĩ wa nyina ũtahikĩte-rĩ, hĩndĩ ĩyo no ethaahie.
26 And when he is clensed, they shall reckon vnto him seuen dayes.

27 And when he goeth into ye Sanctuarie vnto the inner court to minister in the Sanctuarie, he shall offer his sinne offring, saith ye Lord God.

28 And the Priesthood shall bee their inheritance, yea, I am their inheritance: therefore shall ye giue them no possessio in Israel, for I am their possession.
“‘Niĩ no niĩ igai rĩa athĩnjĩri-Ngai. Mũtikanamagaĩre igai gũkũ bũrũri wa Isiraeli; Nĩ niĩ ngũtuĩka igai rĩao.
29 They shall eate the meat offring, and the sinne offring, and the trespas offring, and euery dedicate thing in Israel shall be theirs.

30 And all the first of all the first borne, and euery oblation, euen all of euery sort of your oblations shall be the Priestes. Ye shall also giue vnto the Priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest in thine house.
