Ezekiel 44
1 Then he brought me back to the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looketh toward the east; and it was shut.
Lẹ́yìn náà ni ọkùnrin náà mú mi padà lọ sí ibi mímọ́, èyí tí ó kọjú sí ìhà ìlà-oòrùn, ó sì wà ní títì.
2 Then said Jehovah to me: This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because Jehovah, the God of Israel, entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut.
Olúwa sọ fún mi, “Ẹnu-ọ̀nà yìí ni kí ó wà ní títì. A kò gbọdọ̀ ṣí i sílẹ̀; kò sí ẹni tí o gbọdọ̀ gba ibẹ̀ wọlé. Ó gbọdọ̀ wà ní títì nítorí pé Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli tí gbà ibẹ̀ wọlé.
3 The prince, because he is prince, shall sit in it, to eat food before Jehovah; he shall enter through the porch of that gate, and by the same way shall he go out.
Ọmọ-aládé fúnra rẹ̀ ní o lè jókòó ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà náà kí o sì jẹun níwájú Olúwa. Ó gbọdọ̀ gba ọ̀nà ìloro ẹnu-ọ̀nà wọlé kí ó sì gba ibẹ̀ jáde.”
4 Then he brought me to the north gate before the house; and I looked, and behold, the glory of Jehovah filled the house of Jehovah. And I fell upon my face.
Lẹ́yìn náà, ọkùnrin náà mú mi gba ẹnu-ọ̀nà àríwá lọ sí iwájú ilé Ọlọ́run. Mo wò ó mo sì rí ògo Olúwa tí ó kún inú ilé Olúwa, mo sì dojúkọ ilẹ̀.
5 And Jehovah said to me: Son of man, mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say to thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of Jehovah, and all the laws thereof; and mark well all the entrances of the house, and all the outward passages of the sanctuary.
Olúwa sì sọ fún mì pé, “Ọmọ ènìyàn, wò dáradára, fetísílẹ̀ dáradára kí o sì fiyèsí ohun gbogbo tí mo sọ fún ọ nípa òfin lórí ilé Olúwa náà. Fiyèsí ẹnu-ọ̀nà ilé Ọlọ́run náà àti gbogbo àbájáde ibi mímọ́.
6 And say to the rebellious house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Let it suffice you of all your abominations, O house of Israel,
Sọ fún ọlọ̀tẹ̀ ilé Israẹli pé, ‘Èyí yìí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Ìwà ìríra rẹ tí tó gẹ́ẹ́, ìwọ ilé Israẹli!
7 in that ye brought strangers, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, so that ye polluted my house when ye offered my food, the fat and the blood, and broke my covenant by all your abominations.
Ní àfikún pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn ìwà ìríra rẹ tí ó kù, ìwọ mú àwọn àjèjì aláìkọlà àyà àti ara wá sí inú ibi mímọ́ mi, ní lílo ilé mi ní ìlòkulò nígbà tí ìwọ fi oúnjẹ fún mi, ọ̀rá àti ẹ̀jẹ̀, ìwọ sì ba májẹ̀mú mi jẹ́.
8 And ye kept not the charge of my holy place, but appointed for yourselves such keepers of my charge in my sanctuary.
Dípò kí ìwọ pa òfin mi mọ́, ìwọ fi àwọn mìíràn sí ibi mímọ́ mi.
9 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: No stranger, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of all the strangers that are among the sons of Israel.
Èyí yìí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Àjèjì aláìkọlà àyà àti ara kò gbọdọ̀ wọ ibi mímọ́ mi, àti pẹ̀lú àwọn àjèjì tí ń gbé ní àárín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.
10 But even the Levites, who departed from me when Israel went astray, who went astray from me after their idols, shall bear their iniquity.
“‘Àwọn Lefi tí wọn rìn jìnnà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ṣìnà, ti wọ́n sì ṣáko kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi láti tọ àwọn ère wọn lẹ́yìn gbọdọ̀ jèrè ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn.
11 Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having charge at the gates of the house, and ministering at the house; they shall slay the burnt-offering and sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister to them.
Wọn le sìn mi ní ibi mímọ́ mi, kí wọn ṣe ìtọ́jú àwọn ẹnu-ọ̀nà ilé Ọlọ́run, kí wọn sì ṣe ìránṣẹ́ nínú rẹ̀; wọn le pa ẹbọ sísun, ki wọn sì rú ẹbọ fún àwọn ènìyàn, kí wọn sì dúró níwájú àwọn ènìyàn, kí wọ́n sì ṣe ìránṣẹ́ fún wọn.
12 Because they ministered to them before their idols, and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity, therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, saith the Lord Jehovah, that they shall bear their iniquity.
Ṣùgbọ́n nítorí pé wọn ṣe ìránṣẹ́ fún wọn níwájú àwọn ère wọn, tí wọn sì mu ilé Israẹli ṣubú sínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀, nítorí náà, Èmi tí búra nípa nína ọwọ́ sókè pé, wọn gbọdọ̀ jèrè ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn, ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.
13 And they shall not come near to me to do the office of a priest to me, and to come near to any of my holy things in the most holy place, but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.
Wọn kò gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ ọ̀dọ̀ mi láti ṣe ìránṣẹ́ fún mi, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àlùfáà tàbí súnmọ́ nǹkan kan nínú àwọn ohun mímọ́ mi tàbí ẹbọ mi mímọ́ jùlọ; wọn gbọdọ̀ gba ìtìjú ìwà ìríra wọn.
14 But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all which is to be done therein.
Síbẹ̀ èmi yóò mu wọn sí ìtọ́jú ilé Ọlọ́run àti gbogbo iṣẹ́ tí a gbọdọ̀ ṣe níbẹ̀.
15 But the priests, the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the sons of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister to me, and they shall stand before me to offer to me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord Jehovah.
“‘Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn àlùfáà, tí ó jẹ́ Lefi àti àwọn ìran Sadoku tí fi tọkàntọkàn ṣe iṣẹ́ ibi mímọ́ mi nígbà tí àwọn Israẹli ṣáko lọ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi, wọn gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ iwájú láti ṣe ìránṣẹ́ ní iwájú mi, láti rú ẹbọ ọ̀rá àti ẹ̀jẹ̀, ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.
16 They shall come into my sanctuary, and they shall draw near to my table to minister to me, and shall keep my charge.
Àwọn nìkan ni ó gbọdọ̀ wọ ibi mímọ́ mi; àwọn nìkan ní o gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ tábìlì mi láti ṣe ìránṣẹ́ ni iwájú mi, ki wọn sì ṣe iṣẹ́ ìsìn mi.
17 And when they enter the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments, and no wool shall come upon them while they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within the house.
“‘Nígbà ti wọ́n wọ àwọn ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgbàlá ti inú, wọn yóò wọ ẹ̀wù ọ̀gbọ̀, wọn kò gbọdọ̀ wọ aṣọ onírun nígbà tí wọ́n bá ń ṣiṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ ní àwọn ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgbàlá ti inú tàbí ni inú ilé Ọlọ́run.
18 They shall have linen coverings upon their heads, and linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with anything that causeth sweat.

19 And when they go forth into the outer court, even into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments in which they ministered, and lay them in the holy rooms, and shall clothe themselves with other garments, that they may not sanctify the people with their garments.
Nígbà tí wọ́n bá lọ sì àgbàlá òde níbi tí àwọn ènìyàn wà, wọn gbọdọ̀ bọ́ ẹ̀wù tí wọ́n fi ń ṣiṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́, ki wọn sì fi wọn sílẹ̀ sí àwọn yàrá mímọ́ náà, kí wọn kí ó sì wọ ẹ̀wù mìíràn, wọn kì yóò sì fi ẹ̀wù wọn sọ àwọn ènìyàn di mímọ́.
20 They shall neither shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall shear their heads.
“‘Wọn kò gbọdọ̀ fá irun, wọn kò sì gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ kí irun wọn gùn, ṣùgbọ́n wọn gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ kí irun orí wọn wà ní gígẹ̀.
21 And no priest shall drink wine when they enter into the inner court.
Àlùfáà kankan kò gbọdọ̀ mu ọtí nígbà tí ó bá wọ àgbàlá tí inú.
22 Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, or her that is put away; but they shall take virgins of the race of the house of Israel, or a widow that is the widow of a priest.
Wọn ko gbọdọ̀ fẹ́ opó ni ìyàwó, wọn kò sì gbọdọ̀ kọ ìyàwó wọn sílẹ̀, wọ́n lè fẹ́ àwọn ọmọbìnrin ti kò tí i mọ ọkùnrin rí, tí ó sì jẹ́ ìran àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, tàbí kí wọn fẹ́ àwọn opó àlùfáà.
23 And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and unholy, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.

24 And in controversy they shall stand to judge; according to my statutes shall they judge. And they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all my festivals, and they shall hallow my sabbaths.
“‘Nínú èyíkéyìí èdè-àìyedè, àwọn àlùfáà ní yóò dúró gẹ́gẹ́ bí onídàájọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí òfin mi. Wọ́n ní láti pa àwọn òfin àti àṣẹ mi mọ́ ní gbogbo àjọ̀dún tí a yàn, wọn sì gbọdọ̀ ya ọjọ́ ìsinmi mi ní mímọ́.
25 And they shall come to no dead person to defile themselves; but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves.
“‘Àlùfáà kò gbọdọ̀ sọ ara rẹ̀ di aláìmọ́ nípa sísún mọ́ òkú ènìyàn; ṣùgbọ́n ti òkú ènìyàn yẹn bá jẹ́ baba tàbí ìyá rẹ̀, àbúrò rẹ̀ ọkùnrin tàbí àbúrò rẹ̀ obìnrin ti kò i ti lọ́kọ, nígbà náà o le sọ ara rẹ̀ di aláìmọ́.
26 And after his cleansing they shall reckon to him seven days.

27 And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin-offering, saith the Lord Jehovah.

28 And it shall be to them for an inheritance, that I am their inheritance. And ye shall give them no possession in Israel; I am their possession.
“‘Èmi ni yóò jẹ́ ogún kan ṣoṣo tí àwọn àlùfáà yóò ní. Ẹ kì yóò fún wọn ni ìpín kankan ní Israẹli, Èmi ni yóò jẹ́ ìní wọn.
29 They shall eat the flour-offering, and the sin-offering, and the trespass-offering; and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs.

30 And the first of all the first-fruits, and every oblation of all your oblations, shall belong to the priests. Ye shall also give to the priest the first of your meal, that he may cause a blessing to rest on thine house.
