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.
Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Lango la uzio wa ndani, linaloelekea mashariki, litafungwa kwa mda wa siku sita za kazi, lakini katika siku za Sabato litakuwa wazi, na katika siku ya mwezi mpya litafunguliwa.
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.
Mwana wa mfalme ataingia kwa kutumia lango la njia ya nyuma ya varanda upande wa nje, na atasimama mbele ya muhimili wa mwimo wa lango la ndani wakati makuhani wakiwa wakitengeza sadaka ya kuteketezwa na sadaka ya amani. Kisha ataabudu kwenye kizingiti cha lango la ndani na kutoka nje, lakini lango halitakuwa linafungwa hadi jioni.
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.
Watu wa nchi pia wataabudu mbele ya Yahwe kwenye hili lango la kuingilia katika siku ya Sabato na siku mpya za mwezi.
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;
Sadaka ya kuteketezwa ambayo mwana wa mfalme aitoayo kwa Yahwe katika siku ya Sabato itakuwa wanakondoo sita wasiokuwa na dosari na kondoo dume asiyekuwa na dosari.
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.
Sadaka ya unga pamoja na kondoo dume itakuwa efa moja, na sadaka ya unga pamoja na wanakondoo kiasi awezacho kutoa, na hini moja ya mafuta pamoja na kila efa ya unga.
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.
Katika siku ya mwezi mpya atatoa ng'ombe mchanga asiyekuwa na dosari kutoka kuchungwa, wanakondoo sita, na kondoo asyekuwa na dosari.
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.
Atatengeneza sadaka ya unga ya efa moja kwa ajili ya ng'ombe na efa moja kwa ajili ya kondoo, na kwa kiasi awezacho kukitoa kwa ajili ya wanakondoo, na hini ya mafuta kwa kila efa ya unga.
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.
Wakati mwana wa mfalme atakapokuwa anaingia kwa njia ya lango lenye varanda, ataondoka kwa njia hiyo hiyo.
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.
Lakini wakati watu wa nchi watakakuja kwa Yahwe katika sikukuu zilizoteuliwa, kila mmoja kuingia kupitia kwenye lango la kaskazini kuabudu ataondoka kupitia lango la kusini; na kila atakayeingillia kupitia lango la kusini atatoka kupitia lango la kaskazini. Hakuna atakayerudia kwa lile lango aliloingilia, kwa kuwa atatoka nje moja kwa moja.
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].
Mwana wa mfalme atakuwa kati yao; watakapoingia, ataingia ndani, na watakapoondoka, atatoka nao.
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.
Kwenye sikukuu hizo, sadaka ya unga itakuwa efa moja ya unga kwa ng'ombe mmoja na efa moja kwa kondoo dume, na chochote atakacho kitoa pamoja na wanakondoo, na hini moja ya mafuta kwa kila 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.
Wakati mwana wa mfalme atakapotoa sadaka atakayojisikia kutoa, labda sadaka ya kuteketezwa au sadaka ya amani kwa Yahwe, lango la kuelekea mashariki litafunguliwa kwa ajili yake. Atatoa sadaka yake ya kuteketezwa au sadaka ya amani kama afanyavyo siku ya Sabato. Kisha atatoka nje, na baada ya kutoka lango litafungwa.
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.
Kwa kuongeza, utatoa mwanakondoo asiyekuwa na dosari mwenye umri wa mwaka mmoja kama sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa Yahwe kila siku; utafanya hivi kila asubuhi.
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.
Utatoa sadaka ya unga pamoja nayo kila asubuhi, efa sita na sehemu ya tatu ya hini ya mafuta kuchanganya na sadaka ya unga kwa ajili ya Yahwe, kulingana na sheria ilivyo.
15 Thus shall they prepare the sheep, and the meat-offering, and the oil, morning by morning, as a continual burnt-offering.
Watandaa mwanakondoo, sadaka ya kuteketezwa, na mafuta kila asubuhi, sadaka ya kuteketezwa ya kudumu.
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.
Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Kama mwana wa mfalme akitoa zawadi kwa mmoja wa watoto wake, imekuwa urithi wake. Itakuwa mali ya mtoto wake, imekuwa urithi.
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.
Lakini kama akimpatia zawadi kutoka urithi wake kwa mmoja wa watumishi wake, kisha itakuwa ya huyo mtumishi mpaka mwaka wa uhuru, na kisha itarudi kwa mwana wa mfalme. Urithi wake yamkini ukawa kwa ajili ya watoto wake.
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.
Mwana wa mfalme hatawaondolea urithi wa watu kutoka kwenye mali zao wenyewe; ataandaa kwa ajili ya watoto wake mali ili kwamba watu wangu wasitawanyike, kila mtu kutoka mali kwenye yake mwenyewe.”
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.
Kisha yule mtu akaniletea kwenye lango la kutokea hata kwenye vyumba vitakatifu kwa ajili ya makuhani, vilivyokuwa vimeelekea kaskazini na tazama! Kulikuwa na sehemu mbele magharibi.
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.
Akanambia, “Hii ndio sehemu ambayo makuhani watakapo chemshia sadaka ya hatia na sadaka ya dhambi na walipookea sadaka ya unga. Wasilete sadaka nje ya uzio, kwa kuwa watu watatakaswa.”
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.
Kisha akanileta kwenye uzio wa nje akaniongoza kuzunguka pembe nne za uzio, nikaona kwamba katika kila pembe ya uzio kulikuwa na uwanja.
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.
Katika hizo pembe nne za nje ya uzio kulikuwa na nzio nne ndogo, dhiraa arobaini urefu na thelathini upana. Ukubwa ule ule kwa nzio zote nne.
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.
Kulikuwa na safu zilizokuwa zimetengenezwa kwa mawe kuzizunguka zote nne, na meko ya kupikia ilikuwa chini ya safu ya jiwe.
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.
Yule mtu akanambia, “Hizi ndizo sehemu ambazo watumishi watachemshia dhabihu za watu.”
