< Ezekiel 40 >

1 In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was struck, in the same day, the hand of YHWH was on me, and he brought me there.
Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano wa gũtahwo gwitũ, kĩambĩrĩria-inĩ kĩa mwaka ũcio, mũthenya wa ikũmi wa mweri ũcio, naguo nĩ mwaka wa ikũmi na ĩna kuuma rĩrĩa itũũra inene rĩatunyanirwo, mũthenya o ũcio-rĩ, guoko kwa Jehova kwarĩ igũrũ rĩakwa, nake akĩndwara itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene.
2 In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me down on a very high mountain, whereon was as it were the frame of a city on the south.
Ndĩ thĩinĩ wa cioneki cia Ngai nĩandwarire bũrũri wa Isiraeli, akĩnjiga kĩrĩma-igũrũ kĩraaya mũno, na mwena wakĩo wa gũthini kwarĩ na mĩako yoonekaga ĩtariĩ ta itũũra inene.
3 He brought me there; and, look, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.
Nake akĩndwara ho, na niĩ ngĩona mũndũ, na mũhianĩre wake watariĩ ta gĩcango; nake aarũngiĩ itoonyero-inĩ arĩ na rũrigi rwa gatani, na rũthanju rwa gũthima guoko-inĩ gwake.
4 The man said to me, "Son of man, see with your eyes, and hear with your ears, and set your heart on all that I shall show you; for, to the intent that I may show them to you, you are brought here: declare all that you see to the house of Israel."
Nake mũndũ ũcio akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, ta rora na maitho maku, na ũigue na matũ maku, na ũrũmbũiye wega maũndũ mothe marĩa ngũkuonia, nĩgũkorwo nĩkĩo gĩtũmĩte wee ũrehwo gũkũ. Ĩra andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli maũndũ mothe marĩa ũkuona.”
5 Look, a wall on the outside of the house all around, and in the man's hand a measuring reed ten feet four inches (based on a standard eighteen inches plus three inches). So he measured the thickness of the building ten feet four inches, and the height ten feet four inches.
Ningĩ nĩndonire rũthingo rwathiũrũrũkĩirie hekarũ mĩena yothe. Rũthanju rwa gũthima rũrĩa rwarĩ guoko-inĩ kwa mũndũ ũcio rwarĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono ĩtandatũ. Nake nĩathimire rũthingo; wariĩ waruo warĩ wa mĩkono ĩtandatũ, na mĩkono ĩtandatũ kũraiha na igũrũ.
6 Then came he to the gate which looks toward the east, and went up its steps: and he measured the threshold of the gate, ten feet four inches broad; and the other threshold, ten feet four inches broad.
Agĩcooka agĩthiĩ kĩhingo-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩangʼetheire mwena wa irathĩro. Akĩambata na ngathĩ ciakĩo, na agĩthima hingĩro ya kĩhingo; yarĩ ya mĩkono ĩtandatũ gũtoonya na thĩinĩ.
7 Every side-room was ten feet four inches long, and one reed broad; and the space between the side-rooms was eight feet seven inches; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate at the inner end was ten feet four inches.
Natuo tũnyũmba twa arangĩri twarĩ twa mĩkono ĩtandatũ kũraiha, na mĩkono ĩtandatũ kwarama, na itĩĩna rĩa kuuma kanyũmba kamwe nginya karĩa kangĩ rĩarĩ rĩa mĩkono ĩtano. Nayo hingĩro ya kĩhingo kĩu kĩariganĩtie na gĩthaku kĩrĩa kĩangʼetheire hekarũ, nakĩo kĩarĩ kĩa mĩkono ĩtandatũ gũtoonya na thĩinĩ.
8 He measured also the porch of the gate toward the house, ten feet four inches.
Ningĩ agĩthima gĩthaku kĩrĩa kĩangʼetheire hekarũ;
9 Then measured he the porch of the gate, thirteen feet nine inches; and its jambs, three feet five inches; and the porch of the gate was toward the inner end.
nakĩo kĩarĩ kĩa mĩkono ĩnana gũtoonya na thĩinĩ. Gĩthaku kĩu kĩarĩ na itugĩ igĩrĩ, O gĩtugĩ kĩarĩ na wariĩ wa mĩkono ĩĩrĩ. Nakĩo gĩthaku kĩu kĩangʼetheire hekarũ.
10 The side-rooms of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure: and the jambs had the same measurement.
Thĩinĩ wa kĩhingo kĩa mwena wa irathĩro haarĩ na tũnyũmba tũtatũ twa arangĩri o mwena; na tuothe tũtatũ twarĩ na ithimo ciiganaine, naguo mwena wa na mbere wa thingo cia tũnyũmba twa arangĩri warĩ wa ithimo ciiganaine.
11 He measured the breadth of the opening of the gate, seventeen feet three inches; and the length of the gate, twenty-two feet five inches;
Ningĩ agĩthima wariĩ wa njĩra ĩyo ya itoonyero rĩu, nayo yarĩ ya mĩkono ikũmi, na ũraihu wayo warĩ wa mĩkono ikũmi na ĩtatũ.
12 and a barrier in front of the side-rooms, twenty-one inches, and a barrier on the other side, twenty-one inches; and the side-rooms were ten feet four inches square.
Mwena wa na mbere wa o kanyũmba ka arangĩri haarĩ na rũthingo rwarĩ rwa mũkono ũmwe kũraiha na igũrũ, natuo tũnyũmba tũu twa arangĩri twarĩ twa mĩkono ĩtandatũ mĩena yothe ĩna.
13 He measured the gate from the ceiling of the one side-room to the ceiling of the other, a breadth of fourty-three feet one inch; the openings being opposite each other.
Ningĩ agĩthima itoonyero rĩu arutĩtie kuuma mũthia wa na thuutha wa rũthingo rwa kanyũmba kamwe ka arangĩri nginya mũthia wa na thuutha wa kanyũmba karĩa kaangʼethanĩire nako; itĩĩna rĩu rĩarĩ rĩa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano kuuma mwanya ũmwe wa karũthingo nginya mwanya ũrĩa waringanĩte naguo.
14 He also measured the porch, one hundred three feet four inches; and to the jamb of the courtyard was the gateway all around.
Ningĩ agĩthima mĩena ya na mbere ya thingo gũthiũrũrũka mĩena yeerĩ ya na thĩinĩ ya itoonyero, na yarĩ ya mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtandatũ. Gĩthimo kĩu gĩakinyĩte gĩthaku-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩangʼetheire nja ĩyo.
15 From the forefront of the gate at the entrance to the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were eighty-six feet one inch.
Itĩĩna rĩa kuuma itoonyero rĩa kĩhingo nginya mũthia ũrĩa ũngĩ wa gĩthaku kĩarĩo warĩ wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtano.
16 There were closed windows to the side-rooms, and toward their jambs within the gate all around, and likewise to the porches; and windows were around the inside; and on each jamb were palm trees.
Tũnyũmba tũu twa arangĩri hamwe na thingo icio ciarĩ thĩinĩ wa itoonyero rĩu nĩ gwatũrĩkĩtio mĩanya mĩceke karũthingo-inĩ ka igũrũ mĩena yothe, o ũndũ ũmwe na gĩthaku; tũmĩanya tũu tuothe twerekeire na thĩinĩ. Ũthiũ wa thingo icio nĩwagemetio na mĩkĩndũ.
17 Then he brought me into the outer court; and look, there were rooms and a pavement, made for the court all around: thirty rooms faced the pavement.
Ningĩ akĩndwara nja ĩrĩa ya nyumĩrĩra. Ngĩona hau nĩ haarĩ na tũnyũmba, na nĩ haarĩtwo mahiga makarigiicĩria nja ĩyo yothe; nĩ haarĩ na tũnyũmba mĩrongo ĩtatũ twakĩtwo tũtwaranĩte na hau haarĩtwo mahiga.
18 The pavement was by the side of the gates, corresponding to the length of the gates; this was the lower pavement.
Handũ hau haarĩtwo mahiga haarĩ mĩena-inĩ ya matoonyero macio, naguo wariĩ waho na ũraihu nĩciaiganaine; hau nĩho haarĩtwo mahiga mwena wa mũhuro.
19 Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate to the forefront of the inner court outside, one hundred seventy-two feet three inches, both on the east and on the north.
Ningĩ agĩthima itĩĩna rĩa kuuma mwena wa na thĩinĩ wa kĩhingo kĩa mũhuro nginya mwena wa na nja wa nja ya na thĩinĩ; yarĩ mĩkono igana mwena wa irathĩro, o ũndũ ũmwe na mwena wa gathigathini.
20 And the gate of the outer court which faced toward the north, he measured its length and its breadth.
Ningĩ agĩthima ũraihu na wariĩ wa kĩhingo kĩrĩa kĩerekeire mwena wa gathigathini, gĩa gũthiĩ nja ĩyo ya nyumĩrĩra.
21 And its side-rooms were three on either side, and its jambs and its porches had the same measurement as the first gate; its length was eighty-six feet one inch, and the breadth fourty-three feet one inch.
Tũnyũmba twakĩo twa arangĩri, tũtatũ o mwena, na thingo ciakĩo, o na gĩthaku gĩakĩo ciarĩ na ithimo ciaiganaine na cia itoonyero rĩu rĩa mbere. Kĩarĩ kĩa ũraihu wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtano, na wariĩ wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano.
22 And its windows, and its porches, and the palm trees of it had the same measurement as the gate that faced toward the east. And they went up to it by seven steps; and its porch was in front of them.
Mĩanya yakĩo, na gĩthaku gĩakĩo na magemio ma mĩkĩndũ ciarĩ na ithimo o ta cia kĩhingo kĩrĩa kĩerekeire mwena wa irathĩro. Ngathĩ ya makinya mũgwanja yaambatĩte nginya ho, nakĩo gĩthaku gĩakĩo gĩkangʼethanĩra nayo.
23 And there was a gate to the inner court across the gate to the north and the east; and he measured from gate to gate one hundred seventy-two feet three inches.
Nĩ haarĩ na kĩhingo gĩa gũtoonya nja ya na thĩinĩ, kũngʼethanĩra na kĩhingo gĩa gathigathini o ta ũrĩa kwarĩ na kĩhingo mwena wa irathĩro. Nake agĩthima itĩĩna rĩa kuuma kĩhingo kĩmwe nginya kĩrĩa kĩangʼethanĩire nakĩo; narĩo itĩĩna rĩu rĩarĩ rĩa mĩkono igana.
24 He led me toward the south; and look, a gate toward the south. And he measured its jambs and its porches; they were the same size as the others.
Ningĩ akĩndongoria na mwena wa gũthini, na niĩ ngĩona kĩhingo kĩerekeire mwena wa gũthini. Nake agĩthima itingĩ ciakĩo na gĩthaku gĩakĩo, nacio nĩciaiganainie ithimo na icio ingĩ.
25 There were windows in it and in its porches all around, like those windows; the length was eighty-six feet one inch, and the breadth fourty-three feet one inch.
Itoonyero rĩu na gĩthaku kĩarĩo ciarĩ na tũmĩanya tũceke mĩena yothe, twatariĩ ta mĩanya ya ihingo icio ingĩ. Itoonyero rĩu rĩarĩ rĩa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtano kũraiha, na mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano kwarama.
26 There were seven steps to go up to it, and its porches were in front of them; and it had palm trees on its jambs, one on either side.
Ningĩ ngathĩ ya makinya mũgwanja nĩyaambatĩte ĩgakinya kĩhingo-inĩ kĩu, nakĩo gĩthaku gĩakĩo kĩangʼethanĩire na nja ya hekarũ; thingo ciakĩo iria ciarĩ o mwena wa njĩra ĩyo nĩciagemetio na mĩkĩndũ.
27 There was a gate to the inner court toward the south. And he measured from gate to gate toward the south one hundred seventy-two feet three inches.
Hau nja ya na thĩinĩ o na ho nĩ haarĩ kĩhingo kĩerekeire mwena wa gũthini, nake agĩthima kuuma kĩhingo-inĩ kĩu nginya kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa nyumĩrĩra kĩa mwena wa gũthini; itĩĩna rĩu rĩarĩ rĩa mĩkono igana.
28 Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate, and it had the same dimensions as the others.
Ningĩ akĩnginyia nja ya na thĩinĩ tũtoonyeire kĩhingo kĩa mwena wa gũthini, nake agĩthima kĩhingo kĩa mwena ũcio; nakĩo nĩkĩaiganainie ithimo na ihingo icio ingĩ.
29 And its side-rooms, and its jambs, and its porches were of the same size as the others. And there were windows in it and in its porches all around; it was eighty-six feet one inch long, and fourty-three feet one inch broad.
Tũnyũmba twakĩo twa arangĩri, na thingo ciakĩo, na gĩthaku gĩakĩo nĩciaiganainie ithimo na icio ingĩ. Itoonyero rĩu na gĩthaku kĩarĩo ciarĩ na mĩanya mĩena yothe. Itoonyero rĩu rĩarĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtano, na wariĩ wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano.
30 And there were porches all around, fourty-three feet one inch long, and eight feet seven inches broad.
Ithaku cia matoonyero marĩa maarĩ hakuhĩ na nja ya na thĩinĩ ciarĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano, na wariĩ wa mĩkono ĩtano.
31 And the porches of it faced the outer court, and palm trees were on its jambs, and its stairway had eight steps.
Gĩthaku gĩakĩo kĩangʼetheire nja ĩyo ya nyumĩrĩra; nacio itingĩ ciakĩo nĩciagemetio na mĩkĩndũ, na ngathĩ ya makinya manana nĩyaambatĩte ĩgakinya ho.
32 And he brought me to the inner court toward the east, and he measured the gate as being the same size;
Ningĩ akĩnginyia nja ya na thĩinĩ mwena wa irathĩro, nake agĩthima itoonyero rĩu; narĩo nĩrĩaiganainie ithimo na matoonyero macio mangĩ.
33 and its side-rooms, and its jambs, and its porches were the same size as the others, and there were windows in it and in its porches all around. It was eighty-six feet one inch long, and fourty-three feet one inch broad.
Tũnyũmba twakĩo twa arangĩri, na thingo ciakĩo, na gĩthaku gĩakĩo nĩciaiganainie ithimo na icio ingĩ. Itoonyero rĩu na gĩthaku kĩarĩo ciarĩ na mĩanya mĩena yothe. Narĩo itoonyero rĩarĩ rĩa ũraihu wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtano, na wariĩ wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano.
34 The porches of it faced the outer court; and palm trees were on its jambs, on either side, and its stairway had eight steps.
Gĩthaku gĩakĩo kĩangʼetheire nja ĩyo ya nyumĩrĩra; nacio itingĩ ciakĩo nĩciagemetio na mĩkĩndũ mĩena yeerĩ, na ngathĩ ya makinya manana yaambatĩte ĩgakinya ho.
35 He brought me to the north gate, and he measured it; and it had the same dimensions as the others;
Ningĩ agĩcooka akĩnginyia kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa mwena wa gathigathini, nake agĩthima kĩhingo kĩu. Nakĩo nĩkĩaiganainie ithimo na ihingo icio ingĩ,
36 its side-rooms, its jambs, and its porches. And there were windows in it all around; the length was eighty-six feet one inch, and the breadth fourty-three feet one inch.
o ũndũ ũmwe na tũnyũmba twakĩo twa arangĩri, na thingo ciakĩo, na gĩthaku gĩakĩo, nakĩo kĩarĩ na mĩanya mĩena yothe. Kĩhingo kĩu kĩarĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtano, na wariĩ wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano.
37 And its porch faced the outer court; and palm trees were on its jambs, on either side, and its stairway had eight steps.
Gĩthaku gĩakĩo kĩangʼetheire nja ĩyo ya nyumĩrĩra; nacio itingĩ icio ciakĩo nĩciagemetio na mĩkĩndũ mĩena yeerĩ, na ngathĩ ya makinya manana yaambatĩte ĩgakinya ho.
38 And a chamber with its door was by the porch of the gate; there they washed the burnt offering.
Ningĩ hau gĩthaku-inĩ, o itoonyero-inĩ rĩa na thĩinĩ, nĩ haarĩ na kanyũmba kaarĩ na mũromo, na hau nĩho maruta ma njino maathambagĩrio.
39 And in the porch of the gate were two tables on either side, and two tables on that side, on which to slaughter the burnt offering and the sin offering and guilt offering.
Hau gĩthaku-inĩ gĩa itoonyero nĩ haarĩ metha igĩrĩ o mwena, na igũrũ rĩacio nĩho haathĩnjagĩrwo nyamũ cia magongona ma njino, na magongona ma mehia, o na magongona ma mahĩtia.
40 On the one side outside, as one goes 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.
Mwena-inĩ wa rũthingo rwa na nja rwa gĩthaku kĩu gĩa itoonyero rĩu, hakuhĩ na ngathĩ ya kwambata itoonyero-inĩ rĩa kĩhingo kĩa mwena wa gathigathini nĩ haarĩ na metha igĩrĩ, na mwena ũcio ũngĩ wa ngathĩ naho nĩ haarĩ na metha ingĩ igĩrĩ.
41 Four tables were on either side of the gate, eight tables on which they slaughtered the sacrifices.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio haarĩ na metha inya mwena ũmwe wa itoonyero, na inya mwena ũcio ũngĩ, ciothe ciarĩ metha inyanya, na igũrũ rĩacio nĩho haathĩnjagĩrwo nyamũ cia magongona.
42 There were four tables of carved stone for the burnt offering, two feet seven inches long, and two feet seven inches broad, and twenty-one inches high; on which they laid the instruments with which they slaughtered the burnt offering and the sacrifice.
Ningĩ haarĩ na metha inya cia mahiga maicũhie nĩ ũndũ wa maruta ma njino, o ĩmwe ũraihu wa mũkono ũmwe na nuthu, na wariĩ wa mũkono ũmwe na nuthu, na mũkono ũmwe kũraiha na igũrũ. Igũrũ rĩacio nĩho haigagĩrĩrwo indo cia wĩra wa gũthĩnja nyamũ cia maruta ma njino, na magongona marĩa mangĩ.
43 The hooks, three inches long, were fastened all around within, and on the tables was the flesh of the offering.
Tũhocio twa njibe igĩrĩ, o kamwe karĩ na ũraihu wa wariĩ wa rũhĩ, twathecereirio rũthingo-inĩ mĩena yothe. Metha icio ciarĩ cia kũigĩrĩrwo nyama cia maruta macio.
44 And from the outside of the inner gate were two chambers in the inner court, one which was at the side of the north gate facing toward the south; and one at the side of the south gate facing toward the north.
Hau nja ya kĩhingo gĩa thĩinĩ, kũu nja-inĩ ya na thĩinĩ, nĩ kwarĩ na tũnyũmba twĩrĩ, kamwe mwena wa kĩhingo gĩa gathigathini kerekeire mwena wa gũthini, na kangĩ mwena wa kĩhingo gĩa gũthini kerekeire mwena wa gathigathini.
45 He said to me, "This room that faces toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the duty of the house;
Nake akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Kanyũmba kau karorete mwena wa gũthini-rĩ, nĩ ka athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa maikaragia hekarũ,
46 and the room that faces toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the duty of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok, who from among the sons of Levi come near to YHWH to minister to him."
nako kanyũmba kau karorete gathigathini-rĩ, nĩ ka athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa maikaragia kĩgongona. Aya nĩo ariũ a Zadoku, na no-o Alawii arĩa mangĩthengerera Jehova nĩguo matungatage marĩ mbere yake.”
47 He measured the court, one hundred seventy-two feet three inches long, and one hundred seventy-two feet three inches broad, a square; and the altar was in front of the house.
Ningĩ agĩthima nja ĩyo: Mĩena yothe ĩna nĩyaiganaine, yarĩ na mĩkono igana kũraiha, na mĩkono igana kwarama. Nakĩo kĩgongona kĩarĩ hau mbere ya hekarũ.
48 Then he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured the jambs of the porch, eight feet seven inches on each side. And the breadth of the gate was twenty-four feet one inch, and the sides of the gate were five feet two inches on each side.
Ningĩ akĩnginyia gĩthaku-inĩ kĩa hekarũ, na agĩthima itingĩ icio cia gĩthaku kĩu; o mwena ciarĩ na wariĩ wa mĩkono ĩtano. Wariĩ wa itoonyero rĩu warĩ na mĩkono ikũmi na ĩna, na thingo ciarĩ na wariĩ wa mĩkono ĩtatũ o mwena.
49 The length of the porch was thirty-four feet five inches, and the breadth twenty feet eight inches. And they went up to it by ten steps; and there were pillars by the jambs on either side.
Gĩthaku kĩu kĩarĩ na wariĩ wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, na mĩkono ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ kuuma mbere nginya thuutha. Ningĩ hau nĩ haarĩ na ngathĩ cia kwambata ho, na nĩ haarĩ na itugĩ, o kĩmwe mwena ũmwe wa itingĩ icio.
