< Ezekiel 46 >

1 Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall remain locked the six working days; but on the sabbath day shall it be opened, and on the new-moon day shall it be opened.
“‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Omulyango ogw’oluggya olw’omunda olutunuulira Ebuvanjuba gunaabanga muggale ennaku mukaaga ezikolerwamu, naye ku lunaku olwa Ssabbiiti ne ku lunaku olw’omwezi ogwakaboneka gunaggulwanga.
2 And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate, from without, and shall stand by the door-post of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his burnt-offering and his peace-offerings, and he shall bow himself down at the threshold of the gate, and he shall then go forth; but the gate shall not be locked until the evening.
Omulangira anaayingiriranga mu kisasi okuva ebweru, n’ayimirira awali omufuubeeto ogw’omulyango. Bakabona banaateekateekanga ekiweebwayo kye ekyokebwa n’ebiweebwayo bye olw’emirembe. Anaasinzizanga awayingirirwa ku mulyango; n’oluvannyuma anaafulumanga, naye oluggi teluggalwenga okutuusa akawungeezi.
3 And the people of the land shall bow themselves down at the door of this same gate on the sabbaths and on the new-moons before the Lord.
Bwe batyo n’abantu ab’omu nsi bateekwa okusinzizanga ku luggi olw’omulyango mu maaso ga Mukama ku Ssabbiiti ne ku myezi egyakaboneka.
4 And the burnt-offering which the prince is to offer unto the Lord, shall be on the sabbath-day six sheep without blemish, and a ram without blemish;
Ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa omulangira ky’anaaleetanga eri Mukama ku lunaku olwa Ssabbiiti kinaabanga abaana b’endiga ennume mukaaga nga tebaliiko kamogo n’endiga ennume enkulu emu eteriiko kamogo;
5 And as a meat-offering an ephah for the ram, and for the sheep a meat-offering as his hand may be able to give, and a hin of oil for every ephah.
n’ekiweebwayo eky’emmere ey’empeke ekinaaweebwangayo n’endiga ennume kinaabanga kilo kkumi na mukaaga, n’ekiweebwayo eky’obutta ekinaaweebwangayo n’abaana b’endiga ennume binaabanga ebirabo, awamu ne lita nnya ez’amafuta eza buli efa.
6 And on the day of the new moon, a young bullock without blemish, and six sheep and a ram; without blemish shall they be.
Ku lunaku olw’omwezi ogwakaboneka anaawangayo ente ennume nga nto eteriiko kamogo, n’abaana b’endiga mukaaga n’endiga ennume nga nkulu, ebitaliiko kamogo;
7 And an ephah for the bullock, and an ephah for the ram, shall he prepare as a meat-offering, and for the sheep according as his means may reach, and a hin of oil for every ephah.
era anaawangayo ekiweebwayo eky’emmere ey’empeke kilo kkumi na mukaaga ku lw’ente ennume, n’eky’emmere ey’empeke n’endiga ennume emu, n’abaana b’endiga nga bye birabo, awamu ne lita nnya ez’amafuta eza buli efa.
8 And when the prince doth enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and by the same way shall he go forth.
Awo omulangira bw’anaayingiranga, anaayitanga mu kisasi ky’omulyango, era mu kkubo lye limu eryo mw’anaafulumiranga.
9 But when the people of the land come before the Lord on the appointed feasts, he that entereth in by the way of the north gate to bow himself down shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth by the way of the south gate shall go out by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in; but by that opposite to him shall he go out.
“‘Abantu ab’omu nsi bwe banajjanga mu maaso ga Mukama ku mbaga ezaalagirwa, buli anaayingiranga mu mulyango ogw’Obukiikakkono okusinza, anaafulumiranga mu mulyango ogw’Obukiikaddyo; ne buli anaayingiriranga mu mulyango ogw’Obukiikaddyo anaafulumiranga mu mulyango ogw’Obukiikakkono; tewaabenga muntu addirayo mu kkubo ery’omulyango mwe yayingiridde, naye anaayitangamu buyisi n’aggukira ku luuyi olwolekera lwe yayingiriddeko.
10 And as for the prince—in the midst of them, when they go in, shall he go in; and when they go out, shall they go out [together].
Omulangira anaabeeranga wakati mu bo, bwe banaayingiranga, naye anaayingiranga, bwe banaafulumanga, naye anaafulumanga.
11 And on the feasts and on the appointed festivals shall the meat-offering be an ephah for each bullock, and an ephah for each ram, and for the sheep as his hand may be able to give, and a hin of oil for every ephah.
Ku mbaga ne mu biseera ebyalondebwa bino bye binaabanga ebiweebwayo: ekiweebwayo eky’emmere ey’empeke nga kya kilo kkumi na mukaaga n’ente ennume emu ne kilo kkumi na mukaaga ez’emmere ey’empeke n’endiga ennume emu, awamu n’abaana b’endiga ng’omuntu bw’anaayinzanga, ng’okwo kw’otadde lita nnya ez’amafuta eza buli efa.
12 And when the prince doth prepare as a voluntary gift a burnt-offering, or a peace-offering, as a voluntary gift unto the Lord: then shall be opened for him the gate that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his burnt-offering and his peace-offering, as he usually doth on the sabbath-day; and he shall go out, and the gate shall be locked after his going out.
“‘Awo omulangira bw’anaateekateekanga ekyo ky’asiimye ku bubwe n’akiwaayo eri Mukama, ng’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa oba ng’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe, anaaggulirwangawo omulyango ogutunuulira obuvanjuba, era nnaawangayo ekiweebwayo kye ekyokebwa oba ekiweebwayo kye olw’emirembe nga bw’akola ku lunaku olwa Ssabbiiti. N’oluvannyuma ng’amaze anaafulumanga, omulyango ne guggalwa.
13 And a sheep of the first year without blemish shalt thou prepare as a burnt-offering every day unto the Lord: morning by morning shalt thou prepare it.
“‘Munaawangayo omwana gw’endiga ogw’omwaka ogumu ogutaliiko kamogo okuba ekiweebwayo eri Mukama buli lunaku; ekyo munaakikolanga buli nkya.
14 And as a meat-offering shalt thou prepare with it, morning by morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third of a hin of oil, to mingle with the fine flour—a meat-offering unto the Lord, as ordinances for ever continually.
Munaakiweerangayo n’ekiweebwayo eky’emmere ey’empeke buli nkya, ekiri kilo bbiri n’obutundu musanvu n’ekitundu awamu ne lita ennya ez’amafuta okunnyikiza obutta obulungi okuwangayo ekiweebwayo eky’emmere ey’empeke eri Mukama ekya buli lunaku; kinaabanga ekiragiro ekitaliggwaawo.
15 Thus shall they prepare the sheep, and the meat-offering, and the oil, morning by morning, as a continual burnt-offering.
Noolwekyo omwana gw’endiga n’ekiweebwayo eky’obutta, n’amafuta binaaweebwangayo buli nkya okuba ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa ekya bulijjo.
16 Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, If the prince make gift unto any one of his sons, it is his inheritance, it shall belong to his sons: it shall be their possession as their inheritance.
“‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti; Omulangira bw’anaagabiranga omu ku batabani be ekirabo okuva ku by’omugabo gwe, kinaabanga busika bwa bazzukulu be; era nga bwansikirano.
17 But if he make a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants: then shall it remain his to the year of freedom, when it shall return to the prince; but his inheritance shall only remain for his sons.
Naye omulangira bw’anaddiranga ekirabo okuva ku by’omugabo gwe n’akiwa omu ku baddu be, kinaabanga kikye okutuuka ku mwaka ogw’eddembe, n’oluvannyuma kinaddizibwanga omulangira kubanga omugabo gunaabanga gugwe n’abaana be bokka.
18 But the prince shall not take any thing from the inheritance of the people, to wrong them out of their possession: out of his own possession can he give an inheritance to his sons; in order that not one of my people be deprived of his possession.
Omulangira taatwalenga ttaka ly’abantu okubagoba mu butaka bwabwe; anaagabiranga abaana be omugabo gwabwe okuva ku butaka bwe, waleme okubaawo omuntu yenna ku bantu bange aggyibwako obutaka bwe.’”
19 And then he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers for the priests, which looked toward the north: and, behold, there was a place by the back wall on the west side.
Awo omusajja n’ampisa mu mulyango ku luuyi olw’omulyango wakati w’ebisenge ebitukuvu ebya bakabona olutunuulira Obukiikakkono, n’andaga ekifo ku luuyi olusembayo Ebugwanjuba.
20 And he said unto me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass-offering and the sin-offering, where [also] they shall bake the meat-offering; so as not to carry the same out into the outer court, to mingle with the people.
N’aŋŋamba nti, “Kino kye kifo bakabona we banaafumbiranga ekiweebwayo olw’omusango n’ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi, era gye banaafumbiranga emigaati egy’ekiweebwayo eky’emmere ey’empeke, baleme okubifulumya mu luggya olw’ebweru okutukuza abantu.”
21 Then did he lead me forth into the outer court, and caused me to pass along the four corners of the court; and, behold, in every corner of the court there was a court.
N’oluvannyuma omusajja n’antwala mu luggya olw’ebweru, n’annambuza ensonda ennya ez’oluggya, mu buli nsonda ne ndabamu oluggya olulala.
22 In the four corners of the court there were uncovered courts of forty cubits in length and thirty in breadth: there was one measure for all these four in the corners.
Mu nsonda ennya ez’oluggya mwalimu empya entonotono obuwanvu mita amakumi abiri mu emu n’obugazi mita kkumi na ttaano ne desimoolo musanvu, era nga za kigera kimu.
23 And there was a shelf of masonry round about in them, round about all these four, and it was furnished with hearths for boiling under the shelves round about.
Munda okwetooloola empya mwalimu ebifo eby’okuweesezaamu nga mulimu n’ebyoto wansi w’embu enjuuyi zonna.
24 Then said he unto me, These are the places of those that boil, where the servants of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.
N’aŋŋamba nti, “Gano ge mafumbiro abaweereza gye banaafumbiranga sssaddaaka abantu ze banaawangayo mu yeekaalu.”
