< Ezekiel 40 >

1 In the five and twentieth year of our exile, in the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city had been smitten, on the selfsame day came the inspiration of the Lord upon me, and brought me thither.
Ku ntandikwa ey’omwaka ogw’amakumi abiri mu etaano nga tuli mu buwaŋŋanguse, ku lunaku lw’omwezi ogw’ekkumi, oluvannyuma lw’emyaka kkumi n’ena ng’ekibuga kigudde, omukono gwa Mukama ne gunzikako ku lunaku olwo lwennyini, n’antwalayo.
2 In the visions of God brought he me unto the land of Israel, and set me down upon a very high mount, on which there was built something like a city on the south.
Mu kwolesebwa, Katonda n’antwala mu nsi ya Isirayiri n’anteeka ku luuyi olw’Obukiikaddyo obw’olusozi oluwanvu ennyo okwali ebizimbe ebyali ng’ekibuga.
3 And when he had brought me thither, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of copper, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring-rod: and he was standing in the gate.
N’antwala eyo, ne ndaba omusajja, ng’alabika ng’ayakolebwa mu kikomo, ng’ayimiridde mu mulyango ng’akutte omuguwa ogwa linena n’oluti olupima.
4 And the man spoke unto me, Son of man, behold with thy eyes, and hear with thy ears, and direct thy heart unto all that I am about to show thee; for in order to show it unto thee art thou brought hither: tell all that thou seest to the house of Israel.
Omusajja n’aŋŋamba nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, tunula n’amaaso go owulire n’amatu go osseeyo omwoyo ku buli kye nnaakulaga, kyovudde oleetebwa wano. Byonna by’onoolaba obitegeeze ennyumba ya Isirayiri.”
5 And behold there was a wall on the outside of the house all round about, and in the man's hand was a measuring-rod of six cubits long by the cubit which was a hand's breadth longer than usual; and he measured the breadth of the building, one rod, and the height, one rod.
Ne ndaba bbugwe okwetooloola ekifo kya yeekaalu. Obuwanvu bw’oluti olupima olwali mu mukono gw’omusajja lwali emikono mukaaga, nga mita ssatu. Buli mukono gwali nga kitundu kya mita. N’apima bbugwe ng’omubiri gwayo mita ssatu, n’obugulumivu bwayo mita ssatu.
6 Then came he unto the gate which looked in the direction toward the east, and went up its steps, and measured the threshold of the gate, one rod in breadth, and the other threshold one rod in breadth.
Oluvannyuma n’alaga ku mulyango ogutunuulira Ebuvanjuba, n’alinnya amadaala n’apima omuziziko ogusooka ogw’omu mulyango, nga guli oluti lumu, ze mita ssatu.
7 And every cell was one rod long, and one rod broad; and between the cells were five cubits: and the threshold of the gate near by the porch of the gate within was one rod.
N’obusenge obw’abakuumi bwali mita ssatu obuwanvu, n’obugazi mita ssatu, ng’ebbanga eryawula obusenge obwo liri mita bbiri n’ekitundu. Waaliwo n’omuziziko ogwokubiri. N’omuziziko ogwo gwali mita ssatu mu bugulumivu. Mu maaso g’omuziziko ogwo waaliwo ekisasi okutunuulira yeekaalu.
8 He measured also the porch of the gate within, one rod.
Awo n’apima ekisasi eky’oku mulyango
9 Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits, and its door-posts, two cubits: and the porch of the gate was inward.
nga kiri mita nnya obugulumivu. Waaliwo empagi bbiri ku nsonda y’ekisasi, n’omubiri ogw’empagi ezo gwali mita emu. Ekisasi eky’oku mulyango kyayolekera yeekaalu.
10 And the cells of the gate in the eastern direction were three on this side, and three on that side, one measure was for all the three; and there was one measure for the door-posts on this side and on that side.
Munda mu mulyango ogw’Ebuvanjuba mwalimu obusenge obw’abakuumi busatu ku njuyi zombi, bw’onsatule nga bwenkanankana obunene, nga n’ebbanga wakati waabwo lyenkanankana obunene.
11 And he measured the breadth of the entrance of the gate, ten cubits, [and] the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.
N’apima obugazi obw’awayingirirwa mu mulyango nga buli mita ttaano n’obugulumivu bwawo nga buli mita mukaaga n’ekitundu.
12 And there was a space before the cells of one cubit on this side, and one cubit space was there on that side: and every cell was of six cubits on this side, and of six cubits on that side.
Mu maaso ga buli kasenge waaliwo ekisenge obuwanvu kitundu kya mita, n’obusenge nga buli mita ssatu eruuyi ne mita ssatu eruuyi.
13 And he measured the gate from the roof of [one] cell to the roof of [another], in breadth five and twenty cubits, one door being against [the other] door.
N’oluvannyuma n’apima obugazi bw’akasolya ak’ekibangirizi okuva ku kasenge akamu okutuuka ku kakoolekedde; okuva ku ntikko y’empagi okutuuka ku y’empagi eyookubiri waali mita kkumi na bbiri n’ekitundu.
14 And he made door-posts of sixty cubits, and around the door-posts the court and the gate all round about.
Waaliwo embu bbiri ez’obusenge. N’apima ekibangirizi okuva ku kasenge akasooka ak’olubu olumu okutuuka ku kasenge akasembayo ak’olubu olwo. N’oluvannyuma n’apima n’ekibangirizi okuva ku kasenge akasooka ak’olubu olulala okutuuka ku kasenge akasembayo ak’olubu olwo olulala, wonna awamu n’afuna mita kkumi na ttaano buli lubu. Ekipimo ekyo tekitwaliramu kisasi.
15 And the height of the gate of the entrance as also the height of the porch of the inner gate was fifty cubits.
N’okuva ku bwenyi bw’omulyango awayingirirwa okutuuka ekisasi kyagwo we kikoma waali mita amakumi abiri mu ttaano.
16 And there were narrow windows in the cells, and by their door-posts within the gate all round about, and likewise in the porches: and windows were all round about inward; and on each door post were palm-shaped [capitals].
Era obusenge bwaliko amabanga amafunda okuva wansi okutuuka waggulu mu bisenge byabwo, okwetooloola obusenge bwonna; ate n’ekisasi nakyo kyalina amabanga agafaanagana nga gali ag’obusenge obw’abakuumi. Ku bisenge kwali kwoleddwako ebifaananyi eby’enkindu.
17 Then brought he me into the outward court, and, lo, there were chambers, and a pavement made for the court all round about: thirty chambers were upon the pavement.
Awo omusajja n’andeeta mu luggya olw’ebweru; ne ndaba ebisenge ebimu n’olubalaza ebyazimbibwa, ebisenge ebyo ebyazimbibwa ku lubalaza mu bbugwe okwetooloola oluggya lwonna, byali amakumi asatu.
18 And the pavement by the side of the gates was all along the whole length of the gates: this was the lower pavement.
Olubalaza lwakolebwa okwetooloola bbugwe. Obugazi bw’olubalaza lwali lwenkanankana n’obuwanvu bw’omulyango, era ng’olubalaza lwolekedde oluggya. Olubalaza olwo lwe luyitibwa olubalaza olwa wansi.
19 Then measured he the breadth from the front of the lower gate unto the front of the inner court, without, one hundred cubits, eastward and northward.
N’oluvannyuma n’apima ekibangirizi okuva omulyango ogw’Ebuvanjuba we gukoma okutuuka ebweru ow’oluggya olw’omunda, ze mita amakumi ataano. Waaliwo n’omulyango ogw’Obukiikakkono. N’ekibangirizi okuva ku mulyango ogwo we gukoma okutuuka ebweru w’oluggya olw’omunda nakyo kyali mita amakumi ataano.
20 And the gate of the outer court that looked in a northern direction, he measured after its length, and its breadth.
Awo n’apima obuwanvu n’obugazi obw’omulyango ogw’Obukiikakkono ogufuluma mu luggya olw’ebweru.
21 And its cells were three on this side and three on that side; and its door-posts and its porches were after the measure of the first gate: fifty cubits was its length, and its breadth five and twenty cubits.
Obusenge bwagwo obw’abakuumi, busatu oluuyi n’oluuyi, n’ebbanga wakati waabwo, n’ekisasi kyagwo, byalina ebipimo bye bimu ng’omulyango ogusooka. Omulyango ogwo gwali mita amakumi abiri mu ttaano obuwanvu, n’obugazi mita kkumi na bbiri n’ekitundu.
22 And its windows, and its porches, and their palm-shaped capitals, were after the measure of the gate that looked in an eastern direction: and by seven steps did they go up unto it, and to its porches which were before them.
Amabanga gaagwo amafunda, n’ekisasi kyagwo, n’ebifaananyi eby’enkindu ebyagwo byalina ebipimo bye bimu ng’eby’omulyango ogw’Ebuvanjuba. Amadaala musanvu ge galinnyibwanga okutuuka ku mulyango ogw’Obukiikakkono. Gwalina ekisasi ekyali ku nkomerero y’omulyango ogwo.
23 And the gates of the inner court were opposite the gates on the north, and on the east: and he measured from gate to gate one hundred cubits.
Waaliwo omulyango ogw’oluggya olw’omunda ogwatunuulira omulyango ogw’Obukiikakkono, nga ogwali Ebuvanjuba. N’apima okuva ku mulyango ogw’oluggya olw’omunda okutuuka ku mulyango ogw’Obukiikakkono mita amakumi ataano.
24 After that he led me forth to the south side, and behold there was a gate on the south side: and he measured its door-posts and its porches after these measures.
Awo n’ankulembera n’antwala ku luuyi olw’Obukiikaddyo ne ndaba omulyango ogw’Obukiikaddyo, n’apima empagi zaagwo n’ekisasi kyagwo, ng’ebigera byabyo byenkanankana n’ebirala.
25 And there were windows in it and in its porches all round about, like the other windows: it was fifty cubits in length, and in breadth five and twenty cubits.
Omulyango n’ekisasi kyagwo byalina amabanga amafunda okwetooloola wonna, ng’amabanga ag’ebirala. Omulyango ogwo gwali mita amakumi abiri mu ttaano obuwanvu, ng’obugazi mita kkumi na bbiri n’ekitundu.
26 And by seven steps was the ascent to it, and to its porches which were before them; and it had palm-shaped capitals, one on this side, and another on that side, upon its door-posts.
Amadaala musanvu ge gaalinnyibwangako okugutuukako. Gwalina ekisasi ekyali ku nkomerero yaagwo. Gwaliko n’ebifaananyi eby’enkindu ebyayolebwa eruuyi n’eruuyi ku bisenge byagwo.
27 And there was a gate in the inner court on the south side: and he measured from gate to gate on the south side one hundred cubits.
Waaliwo n’omulyango ogw’oluggya olw’omunda ogwatunuulira omulyango ogw’Obukiikaddyo. N’apima okuva ku mulyango ogwo okutuuka ku mulyango ogw’Obukiikaddyo; zaali mita amakumi ataano.
28 And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate; and he measured the south gate after these measures;
Awo n’antwala mu luggya olw’omunda nga tuyita mu mulyango ogw’Obukiikaddyo ogw’oluggya olw’omunda, n’apima, nga gulina ebipimo bye bimu ng’emirala gyonna.
29 And its cells, and its door-posts, and its porches were after these measures; and there were windows in it and in its porches all round about: it was fifty cubits in length, and in breadth five and twenty cubits.
Obusenge bwagwo obw’abakuumi, n’amabanga gaagwo, n’ekisasi kyagwo byalina ebipimo bye bimu ng’ebirala. Omulyango n’ekisasi kyagwo byalina amabanga amafunda okwetooloola, era gwali mita amakumi abiri mu ttaano obuwanvu, n’obugazi mita kkumi na bbiri n’ekitundu.
30 And arched passages were all round about, five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad.
Ebisasi eby’emiryango ebyetoolodde oluggya olw’omunda buli kimu kyali obugazi mita kkumi na bbiri n’ekitundu, n’obugulumivu mita bbiri n’ekitundu.
31 And its porches were toward the outer court; and palm-shaped capitals were upon its door-posts: and its ascent was by eight steps.
Ekisasi kyagwo kyatunuulira oluggya olw’ebweru. Empagi zaakyo zaali zooleddwa n’ebifaananyi eby’enkindu. Amadaala munaana ge gaalinnyibwanga okutuuka ku kisasi eky’oku mulyango ogw’Obukiikaddyo ogw’oluggya olw’omunda.
32 And he brought me into the inner court on the east side; and he measured the gate after these measures;
Oluvannyuma n’antwala mu luggya olw’omunda ku mulyango ogw’Ebuvanjuba ogw’oluggya olw’omunda, n’apima omulyango ogwo, nga gulina ebipimo bye bimu ng’emirala.
33 And its cells and its door-posts, and its porches, were according to these measures; and there were windows in it and in its porches all round about: its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth five and twenty cubits.
Obusenge bwagwo n’amabanga gaagwo n’ekisasi kyagwo byalina ebipimo bye bimu ng’ebirala. Omulyango n’ekisasi byalina amabanga okwetooloola, era gwali mita amakumi abiri mu ttaano obuwanvu n’obugazi mita kkumi na bbiri n’ekitundu.
34 And its porches were toward the outward court; and palm-shaped capitals were upon its door-posts, on this side, and on that side: and by eight steps was the ascent to it.
Ekisasi kyagwo kyatunuulira oluggya olw’ebweru. Empagi zaakyo zaali zooleddwa n’ebifaananyi eby’enkindu. Amadaala munaana ge gaalinnyibwanga okutuuka ku kisasi eky’oku mulyango ogw’Ebuvanjuba ogw’oluggya olw’omunda.
35 And he brought me to the north gate, and he measured it after these measures;
N’antwala ku mulyango ogw’Obukiikakkono ogw’oluggya olw’omunda n’alupima ng’ebipimo bye bimu ng’emiryango emirala.
36 Its cells, its door-posts, and its porches; and the windows in it were all round about: its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth five and twenty cubits.
Obusenge bwagwo obw’abakuumi n’amabanga gaagwo, n’ekisasi kyagwo byalina ebipimo bye bimu ng’ebirala. Omulyango n’ekisasi byalina amabanga okwetooloola, era gwali mita amakumi abiri mu ttaano obuwanvu, n’obugazi mita kkumi na bbiri n’ekitundu.
37 And its door-posts were toward the outer court; and palm-shaped capitals were upon its door-posts, on this side, and on that side: and by eight steps was the ascent to it.
Ekisasi kyagwo kyatunuulira oluggya olw’ebweru. Empagi zaakyo zaali zooleddwa n’ebifaananyi eby’enkindu. Amadaala munaana ge gaalinnyibwanga okutuuka ku kisasi eky’oku mulyango ogw’Obukiikakkono ogw’oluggya olw’omunda.
38 And there was a chamber with its door by the door-posts of the gates, where they washed off the burnt-offerings.
Waaliwo ekisenge n’oluggi lwakyo ekyaliraana ekisasi ku buli mulyango ogw’oluggya olw’omunda. Omwo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa mwe byayozebwanga.
39 And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slaughter thereon the burnt-offerings and the sin-offerings and the trespass-offerings.
Mu kisasi eky’emiryango mwalimu emmeeza bbiri oluuyi olumu n’endala bbiri oluuyi olulala kwe battiranga ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa, n’ebiweebwayo olw’ebibi, n’ebiweebwayo olw’omusango.
40 And at the side without [the porch], as one went up to the entrance of the north gate, were two tables; and on the other side of the porch of the gate were two tables;
Era ebweru w’ekisasi ku mulyango, okumpi n’amadaala awayingirirwa ku mulyango oguli mu bukiikakkono waaliwo emmeeza bbiri ne ku luuyi olulala olw’amadaala waliwo emmeza bbiri.
41 Four tables being on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate, eight tables, whereupon they slaughtered [the sacrifices].
Ne kitegeeza nga waaliwo emmeeza nnya ku luuyi olumu olw’omunda, n’emmeeza endala nnya ku luuyi olulala ng’oyimiridde mu mulyango, awamu z’emmeeza munaana, kwe battiranga ssaddaaka.
42 And there were four tables of hewn stone for the burnt-offerings, of a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high: whereupon they laid the instruments wherewith they slaughtered the burnt-offerings and the sacrifices.
Era waaliwo n’emmeeza endala nnya ez’amayinja amateme ez’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa, buli emu yali desimoolo nsanvu mu ttaano eza mita obuwanvu, obugazi desimoolo nsanvu mu ttaano eza mita n’obugulumivu kitundu kya mita. Okwo kwe baateekanga ebiso ebibaaga ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’ebiweebwayo ebirala.
43 And hooks, a hand long, were fastened within all round about: and on the tables was placed the flesh of the offerings.
Era waaliwo n’ewuuma ez’engalo bbiri, obuwanvu bwazo sentimita mwenda, ezaawanikibwa ku bisenge okwetooloola. Ku mmeeza kwe baatekanga ennyama ey’ebiweebwayo.
44 And without the inner gate were the chambers of the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate; and their front was toward the south side: one was at the side of the east gate having the front toward the north side.
Mu luggya olw’omunda waaliyo ebisenge bibiri eby’abayimbi, ekimu ku luuyi olw’omulyango ogw’Obukiikakkono ekyolekera Obukiikaddyo, n’ekirala ku luuyi olw’omulyango ogw’Obukiikaddyo okutunuulira Obukiikakkono.
45 And he spoke unto me, This chamber, the front of which is toward the south, is for the priests who have the charge of the house.
N’aŋŋamba nti, “Ekisenge ekyolekera Obukiikaddyo, kya bakabona abavunaanyizibwa yeekaalu,
46 And the chamber, the front of which is toward the north, is for the priests who have the charge of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok, who come near, from among the sons of Levi, to the Lord to minister unto him.
n’ekisenge ekyolekera Obukiikakkono kya bakabona abavunaanyizibwa ekyoto. Abo be batabani ba Zadooki, era be Baleevi bokka abasobola okusemberera Mukama okumuweereza.”
47 So he measured the court, in length one hundred cubits, and in breadth one hundred cubits, foursquare: and the altar [stood] before the house.
N’apima oluggya, nga luli mita amakumi ataano obuwanvu, n’obugazi mita amakumi ataano, nga kya nsonda nnya ezenkanankana, n’ekyoto kyali mu maaso ga yeekaalu.
48 And he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each door-post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side.
N’antwala ku kisasi kya yeekaalu n’apima empagi ez’ekisasi ezaali eruuyi n’eruuyi olw’ekisasi. Ne ndaba nga ku mukono ogwa ddyo empagi emu epima mita bbiri n’ekitundu ku luuyi olw’ebweru ate ng’empagi eyookubiri ku mukono ogwa kkono erina ebipimo ebyenkanankana na luli. Oluuyi olw’omunda olw’empagi emu lwapima mita emu n’ekitundu, n’oluuyi olw’omunda olw’empagi eyookubiri nga nalwo lupima mita emu n’ekitundu. Okuva ku mpagi we zitandikira okutuuka ku mulyango gwa yeekaalu waali mita musanvu, ekitegeeza nti ekisasi kyali mita musanvu obuwanvu.
49 The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits, together with the steps whereby they went up to it: and there were pillars by the door-posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
Obugazi bw’omulyango ng’otaddeko n’empagi ez’enjuuyi zombi bwali mita kkumi. Okuva ku mpagi okutuuka ku mulyango gwa yeekaalu waali mita ttaano n’ekitundu. Amadaala kkumi ge gaalinnyibwanga okutuuka ku kisasi. Waaliwo n’empagi endala bbiri eruuyi n’eruuyi ezaaliraana empagi eziwanirira ekisasi.
