< Ezekiel 40 >

1 In the twenty-fifth year of our exile at the beginning of the year. on the tenth of the month in the fourteenth year, after the city was smitten, on this selfsame day, came upon me the hand of Yahweh, and he brought me thither:
Nʼafọ nke iri abụọ na ise nke e mere ka anyị biri na mba ọzọ, na mbido afọ ahụ, nʼụbọchị nke iri, nke ọnwa ahụ nʼafọ nke iri na anọ site na mgbe obodo ahụ dara, nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ ka aka Onyenwe anyị dịkwasịrị m nʼahụ. O mere ka m bịa nʼebe ahụ.
2 In the visions of God, he brought me into the land of Israel, —and set me down upon an exceeding high mountain, and thereupon, was, as it were the structure of a city, on the south.
Nʼọhụ dị iche iche Chineke mere ka m hụ, o buuru m gaa nʼala Izrel, debe m nʼelu ugwu dị elu nke ukwu, ebe m nọ hụ ihe dịka obodo a na-ewu ọhụrụ, nke dị nʼakụkụ ndịda ugwu ahụ.
3 And when he brought me thither, then lo! a man whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze, with a flax-cord in his hand and measuring reed, —and he was standing in the gate.
O mere ka m bịaruo nʼebe ahụ, ma lee, ahụrụ m otu nwoke nke ụdịdị ya na-enwu dịka bronz ka o guzo nʼakụkụ ọnụ ụzọ ama. Ọ na-ejide eriri akwa ọcha, na osisi e ji atụ ihe nʼaka ya.
4 And the man spake unto me, saying. Son of man See with thine eyes And with thine ears, hear thou And apply thy heart to whatsoever I am about to show thee, For to the intent it might be shown thee, hast thou been brought hither, - Declare all that thou seest unto the house of Israel.
Nwoke ahụ sịrị m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, lezie anya nke ọma, gekwaa ntị tinyekwa ihe niile m gaje igosi gị nʼobi, nʼihi na-akpọtara m gị nʼebe a nʼihi ka ịhụ ihe ndị a. Gwakwa ụmụ Izrel ihe niile ị hụrụ.”
5 And lo a wall on the outside of the house round about on every side, —and in the hand of the man, was the measuring reed six cubits by the cubit, and a handbreadth, so he measured the breadth of the enclosing-wall, one reed, and the height one reed.
Mgbe ahụ, ahụrụ m mgbidi gbara ụlọnsọ ahụ gburugburu. Ịdị ogologo nke osisi ihe ọtụtụ nke dị nʼaka nwoke ahụ, ruru mita atọ na ụma abụọ, nke ọbụla nʼime ha ruru iri sentimita ise na atọ. Ọ tụrụ mgbidi ahụ, chọpụta na ịla elu ya dị mita atọ na ọkara. Ịsa mbara ya dịkwa mita atọ na ọkara.
6 Then came he unto the gate that looked toward the east, and went up by the steps thereof, —and measured the threshold of the gate one reed broad, and the other threshold one reed broad.
Emesịa, ọ gara nʼọnụ ụzọ ahụ chere ihu nʼọwụwa anyanwụ, rigoro nʼihe nrigo elu, tụọ ala ala ụzọ mbata nke ọnụ ụzọ ahụ. Obosara ya dị mita atọ na ọkara.
7 And the lodge was one reed long, and one reed broad, and between the lodges, was a space of five cubits, —and the threshold of the gate from beside the porch of the gate inwards, was one reed.
Oghere dị nʼụlọ ahụ nke bụ ebe ndị nche na-anọ dị mita atọ nʼọkara nʼobosara. Mgbidi dị nʼetiti ha dị mita abụọ na ụma asaa nʼigbidi. Ebe e si abata na mpụta ọnụ ụzọ ama nke chere ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ ihu, dị mita atọ nʼọkara nʼomimi.
8 Then measured he the porch of the gate inwards, one reed.
O jikwa ihe ọtụtụ tụọ ebe mpụta ọnụ ụlọ nke ọnụ ụzọ ama,
9 Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits, and the projections thereof two cubits, —and the porch of the gate was within,
ọ dị mita anọ na ụma abụọ nʼomimi. Ogidi dị nʼakụkụ ya dị otu mita nʼigbidi. Ebe mpụta ọnụ ụlọ nke ụzọ ama ya chere ihu nʼụlọnsọ ukwu.
10 And, the lodges of the gate that was towards the east, were three on this side and three on that side, one measure, had they three, —and one measure, had the projections on this side and on that side.
Nʼime ọnụ ụzọ ama nke ọwụwa anyanwụ, e nwere oghere atọ dị nʼakụkụ ọbụla, oghere atọ ndị ahụ ha nʼotu. Ihu akụkụ aja ya niile nke chere ha ihu bụkwa otu nʼọtụtụ.
11 Then measured he the breadth of the entrance of the gate, ten cubits—the length of the gate, thirteen cubits,
Mgbe ahụ, ọ tụrụ obosara nke mbata ọnụ ụzọ ama ahụ, ọ dị mita ise na ụma atọ nʼobosara, na mita isii na ụma itoolu nʼogologo.
12 And the space before the lodges was one cubit, and one cubit, the space on that side; and the lodge itself was six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.
Nʼihu oghere niile nke ụlọ ahụ e nwere mgbidi dị otu ọkara mita nʼịdị elu ya. Akụkụ anọ nke oghere ndị a ha otu. Ha ruru mita atọ mita atọ.
13 Then measured he the gate, from the roof of this lodge to the roof of that, a breadth of twenty-five cubits, —entrance over against entrance.
Mgbe ahụ, ọ tụrụ obosara ọnụ ụzọ ama ahụ, site nʼelu ụlọ nke otu ime ụlọ ruo nʼelu ụlọ nke ime ụlọ chere ya ihu; obosara ya dị mita iri na atọ, site nʼotu oghere ruo nʼoghere nke chere ya ihu.
14 Then measured he the porch, twenty cubits, —even unto the projection of the court, the lodges of the gate round about on every side;
Ọ tụrụ ogologo ogidi niile dị nʼakụkụ nʼime mgbidi ọnụ ụzọ ama ụlọ ahụ, chọpụta na ọ dị iri mita atọ na abụọ, ọ bụladị ruo nʼakụkụ mgbidi nke chere ihu nʼọnụ ụzọ ama ogige ahụ.
15 and, from the face of the gate outwards, unto the face of the porch of the inner gate, was fifty cubits.
Site nʼihu ọnụ ụzọ ama mbata ahụ, ruo nʼebe ngwụcha nke ọnụ ụzọ dị na mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ya dị iri mita abụọ na asaa.
16 And latticed windows had the lodges, even towards their projections within the gate round about on every side, and, so, had the recesses, —and windows round about on every side inwards, and against each projection, palm trees.
Ọnụ ụlọ ndị ahụ niile nwere oghereikuku dị warawara nʼakụkụ aja ụlọ ha, dịka mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ahụ nwekwara; oghereikuku ndị a dị gburugburu dị nʼime, nʼetiti ọnụ ụlọ ndị a. Nʼaja ụlọ ndị a niile, e nwere oyiyi nkwụ dị iche iche e sere nʼelu ha.
17 Then he brought me into the outer court, and lo! chambers and a tesselated pavement, made to the court round about on every side, —thirty chambers against the pavement,
Ọ kpọbatara m nʼogige dị nʼezi. Nʼebe ahụ, ahụrụ m ụfọdụ ọnụụlọ dị na pevumentị e wunyere gburugburu ogige ahụ niile. Ha dị iri ọnụụlọ atọ dị nʼogologo pevumentị ahụ.
18 And the pavement, was against the side of the gates, answering to the length of the gates, —the lower pavement,
Ebe nzọkwasị ụkwụ a gara ogologo ruo nʼakụkụ ọnụ ụzọ ama, ogologo ya na ọnụ ụzọ ama ahụ ha, nke a bụ pevumentị nke dịkarịrị ala.
19 Then measured he the breadth, from the front of the lower gate, to the front of the inner court on the outside one hundred cubits, —to the east and the north.
Mgbe ahụ, ọ tụrụ ịdị ogologo ya, site nʼime ọnụ ụzọ ama nke dịkarịrị ala ruo nʼọnụ ụzọ nke ime ogige, o ruru iri mita ise na atọ nʼakụkụ ihu anyanwụ nakwa nʼakụkụ ugwu.
20 And as for the gate which looked towards the north, pertaining to the outer court, he measured the length thereof, and the breadth thereof.
Ọ tụrụ ogologo na obosara ọnụ ụzọ nke dị nʼugwu, nke e si abanye nʼogige dị nʼezi.
21 And the lodges thereof were three on this side and three on that side, and the projections thereof and the recesses thereof were according to the measure of the first gate, fifty cubits the length thereof, and, the breadth, twenty-five, by the cubit.
Ime ụlọ ya dị ọnụ ụlọ atọ nʼakụkụ ya ọbụla. Akụkụ aja na mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ya, bụ otu ọtụtụ dịka ọtụtụ nke ọnụ ụzọ ama mbụ. Ịdị ogologo ya dị iri mita abụọ na asaa, ebe obosara ya dị mita iri na atọ.
22 And the windows thereof and the recesses thereof and the palm-trees thereof were according to the measure of the gate that looked toward the east, —and by seven steps, they ascend it, and their recesses were within,
Oghereikuku ya, mpụta ọnụ ụzọ ya na osisi nkwụ e sere nʼahụ aja ụlọ ahụ niile, dịka e mere nʼakụkụ ọnụ ụzọ ama nke na-eche ihu nʼọwụwa anyanwụ, bụ otu ọtụtụ. Ihe nrigo nwere nzọ ụkwụ asaa dị nke e si aga na mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ahụ na ncherita ihu ogige ezi.
23 And the gate to the inner court, was over against the gate, to the north and to the east, —so he measured from gate to gate. one hundred cubits.
Otu ọnụ ụzọ dị nke gara nʼogige dị nʼime, nke chere ihu ọnụ ụzọ mbata dị nʼugwu, dịka ọ dịkwa nʼakụkụ nke ọwụwa anyanwụ. Ọ tụrụ site nʼotu ọnụ ụzọ ama ruo na nke chere ya ihu, ọ dị iri mita ise na anọ.
24 Then he took me toward the south, and lo! a gate, toward the south, —and he measured the projections thereof and the recesses thereof, according to these measures.
Mgbe ahụ, o duuru m gaa nʼakụkụ ndịda, a hụrụ m ọnụ ụzọ mbata ndịda. Ọ tụrụ tụọ akụkụ ogidi ọnụ ụzọ ahụ na mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ya, chọpụta na ya na ndị ọzọ bụ otu ọtụtụ.
25 And windows were there to it, and the recesses thereof round about on all sides, like these windows, —fifty cubits in length, and in breadth, five-and-twenty cubits.
Ọnụ ụzọ ama ya na mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ya nwere oghereikuku dị warawara gbaa gburugburu, dịka e nwere na ndị ọzọ niile. Ịdị ogologo ya dị iri mita abụọ na asaa, ebe obosara ya dị mita iri na atọ
26 And seven steps the ascents thereof, with its recesses within, —and it had palm trees one on this side and one on that side against the projections thereof.
Ihe nrigo nwere nzọ ụkwụ asaa dịkwa iji rigoo ya, mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ya dịkwa na ncherita ihu ha, o nwekwara ihe ịchọ mma osisi nkwụ e sere nʼahụ akụkụ aja ahụ, otu nʼotu akụkụ, nke ọzọ nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ.
27 And a gate, had the inner court towards the south, —so he measured from gate to gate toward the south, a hundred cubits.
Ogige nke dị nʼime, nwekwara ọnụ ụzọ ama nke na-echere ihu na ndịda. Ọ tụrụ site nʼotu ọnụ ụzọ ama ruo na nke chere ya ihu, ọ dị iri mita ise na anọ.
28 Yea when he brought me to the inner court through the south gate, then measured he the south gate, according to these measures;
O duuru m site nʼọnụ ụzọ dị na ndịda banye nʼogige dị nʼime. Ọ tụrụ ọnụ ụzọ mbata a hụ na ya na ọnụ ụzọ nke dị ọzọ bụ otu ọtụtụ.
29 and the lodges thereof and the projections thereof and the recesses, thereof, were according to these measures, and windows, were there to it, and to the recesses thereof round about on every side, —fifty cubits in length, and in breadth, twenty and five cubits;
Nʼọnụ ụlọ ya niile, nʼakụkụ aja ya niile, na mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ya bụkwa otu ọtụtụ dịka ndị ọzọ niile. Ọnụ ụzọ ama ya na mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ya nwere oghere gbaa gburugburu. Ịdị ogologo ya dị iri mita abụọ na asaa, ebe obosara ya dị mita iri na atọ.
30 and there were recesses round about on every side; —in length, five and twenty cubits, and in breadth, five cubits;
Mpụta ọnụ ụlọ nke ndị dị gburugburu ogige nke ime, dị iri mita na atọ nʼobosara, na mita abụọ na ụma atọ nʼịdị omimi.
31 and the recesses thereof reached unto the outer court, with palm-trees, against the projections thereof, and eight steps were the ascents thereof.
Mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ya chere ihu nʼogige dị nʼezi, oyiyi osisi nkwụ ka eji chọọ ogidi ọnụ ụlọ ahụ mma, ihe nrigo nwere nzọ ụkwụ asatọ ka eji arịgo ya.
32 And when he brought me unto the inner court toward the east, then measured he the gate, according to these measures;
Ọ kpọbatakwara m nʼogige dị nʼime site nʼọnụ ụzọ mbata nke ọwụwa anyanwụ. Ọ tụkwara ọnụ ụzọ ama ahụ, chọpụta na ya na ndị ọzọ bụkwa otu ọtụtụ.
33 and the lodges thereof and the projections thereof and the recesses thereof, according to these measures, and windows were there to it and to the recesses thereof, round about on every side, —in length fifty cubits, and in breadth, five and twenty cubits;
Nʼọnụ ụlọ ya niile, nʼakụkụ aja ya niile, na mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ya niile bụkwa otu ọtụtụ dịka ndị ọzọ niile. Ọnụ ụzọ ama ya na mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ya nwere oghere gbaa gburugburu. Ịdị ogologo ya dị iri mita abụọ na asaa, ebe obosara ya dị mita iri na atọ.
34 and the recesses thereof reached to the outer court, with palm-trees, against the projections thereof, on this side and on that side, —and eight steps, were the ascents thereof.
Mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ya chere ihu nʼogige dị nʼezi. Oyiyi nkwụ e sere ese ka eji chọọ akụkụ ogidi ọnụ ụzọ ya mma, nʼakụkụ nke a, nakwa nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ. Ihe nrigo nwere nzọ ụkwụ asatọ ka eji arịgo ya.
35 And when he brought me to the north gate, then measured he according to these measures:
O mere ka m bịaruo nʼọnụ ụzọ ama mbata nke ugwu. Ọ tụrụ ya, chọpụta na ọtụtụ ya dịkwa ka nke ndị ọzọ,
36 the lodges thereof the projections thereof and the recesses thereof, with, windows, to it round about on every side, —in length, fifty cubits, and, in breadth, five and twenty cubits;
dịka ọnụ ụlọ ya niile, nʼakụkụ aja ya niile, na mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ya, ha niile nwere oghere gbaa gburugburu. Ịdị ogologo ya dị iri mita abụọ na asaa, ebe obosara ya dị mita iri na atọ
37 and, the recesses thereof, [reached] unto the outer court, with, palm-trees, against the projections thereof on this side and on that side, —and, eight steps, were the ascents thereof.
Mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ya chere ihu nʼogige dị nʼezi. Oyiyi nkwụ e sere ese ka eji chọọ akụkụ ogidi ọnụ ụzọ ya mma, nʼakụkụ nke a, nakwa nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ. Ihe nrigo nwere nzọ ụkwụ asatọ ka eji arịgo ya.
38 And there was a chamber with its entrance, within the projections at the gates, — there, shall they rinse the ascending-sacrifice,
Otu ọnụụlọ nke nwere ọnụ ụzọ dịkwa nʼakụkụ mpụta ọnụ ụlọ nke ime ime ọnụ ụzọ ama ọbụla, ebe a na anọ asacha anụ aja nsure ọkụ niile.
39 And in the porch of the gate, were two tables on this side, and two tables, on that side, —to slay thereon the ascending-sacrifice, and the sin-bearer, and the guilt-bearer.
Nʼime mpụta ọnụ ụlọ nke ọnụ ụzọ ama, ka tebul abụọ dị nʼotu akụkụ, abụọ nke ọzọ dịkwa nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ nke ọnụ ụlọ ahụ. Nʼelu ha ka a na-egbu anụ e ji achụ aja nsure ọkụ, maọbụ aja mmehie, maọbụ onyinye nʼihi aja ikpe ọmụma.
40 And at the side without, in ascending to the entrance of the north gate, were two tables, —and at the other side which pertaineth to the porch of the gate, were two tables.
Nʼakụkụ mgbidi ezi nke mpụta ọnụ ụlọ nke ọnụ ụzọ ama, nʼakụkụ ihe nrigo nke dị na mbata ọnụ ụzọ ugwu, e nwere tebul abụọ, nʼakụkụ nke ọzọkwa nke ihe nrigo ahụ, e nwekwara tebul abụọ nʼebe ahụ.
41 Four tables on this side and four tables on that side by the side of the gate, -eight tables whereupon they shall slay.
Ya mere, e nwere tebul anọ nʼotu akụkụ ihe nrigo ahụ, nwekwa anọ nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ ya, ya bụ, tebul asatọ ma agụkọta ya ọnụ, ebe a na-anọ egbu anụ e ji achụ aja.
42 And the four tables for the ascending-offering: were of hewn stone. in length, one cubit and a half, and in breadth, one cubit and a half, and in height, one cubit, —that thereon, they may lay the instruments wherewith they shall slay the ascending-offering and the sacrifice.
E nwekwara tebul anọ ndị ọzọ nʼime ọnụ ụlọ ahụ e ji nkume a wara awa wuo. Nʼelu ya ka a na-anọ akwado anụ a ga-eji chụọ aja nsure ọkụ. Ịdị elu tebul ndị a bụ iri sentimita asatọ. Obosara elu ha nʼakụkụ niile dị iri sentimita ise na atọ. Ngwongwo niile e ji egbu anụ e ji achụ aja na-adị nʼelu tebul ndị a.
43 And there were hooks of three hand-breadth fastened within round about on every side, —and upon the tables, the flesh of the offering.
E ji nko nke ịdị ogologo ya dị sentimita itoolu ejigidesi tebul ndị ahụ ike nʼahụ aja ụlọ. Nko ndị a dị gburugburu tebul ndị ahụ. Ọ bụkwa nʼelu tebul ndị a ka a na-edebe anụ niile e ji enye onyinye.
44 And on the outside of 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, —one, at the side of the south gate, fronting, toward the north.
Nʼime ogige dị nʼime, e nwere ọnụụlọ abụọ nke nwere ụzọ e si abanye nʼogige dị nʼime. Otu dị nʼakụkụ ọnụ ụzọ ama dị nʼugwu, chee ihu nʼọdịda anyanwụ, nke ọzọ dị nʼakụkụ ọnụ ụzọ ama dị nʼọdịda anyanwụ, chee ihu nʼugwu.
45 Then spake he unto me saying, This chamber whose front is toward the south, is for the priests keeping the charge of the house;
Ọ gwara m, “Ọnụụlọ ahụ dị nʼakụkụ ọnụ ụzọ ama dị nʼugwu bụ nke ndị nchụaja, ndị na-eje ozi nʼụlọnsọ ukwu.
46 and the chamber whose front is towards the north is for the priests keeping the charge of the altar, -the same are the sons of Zadok—who draw near from among the sons of Levi unto Yahweh. to wait upon him.
Ọnụụlọ nke dị nʼakụkụ ọnụ ụzọ ama chere ihu nʼugwu, bụ nke ndị nchụaja ndị na-eche ebe ịchụ aja nche. Ndị a bụ ụmụ ụmụ Zadọk. Ọ bụ naanị ha ka e kwere ka ha nwee ike ịbịaru Onyenwe anyị nso, ijere ya ozi site nʼetiti ebo Livayị niile.”
47 Then measured he the court, the length, a hundred cubits, and the breadth, a hundred cubits foursquare, —with the altar before the house.
Mgbe ahụ, ọ tụrụ ogige ime ahụ, chọpụta na ogologo ya dị iri mita ise na asatọ. Obosara ya bụkwa otu ihe ahụ. Ebe ịchụ aja dịkwa nʼihu ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.
48 And when he brought me unto the porch of the house, then measured he the projection 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:
O mere ka m bịaruo na mpụta ọnụ ụlọ nke ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, ọ tụrụ akụkụ ogidi ọnụ ụzọ nke mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ahụ, o ruru mita abụọ na ụma atọ nʼobosara, nʼakụkụ ya abụọ. Ebe mbata ya ruru mita asaa na ụma anọ nʼobosara, ebe akụkụ aja ụlọ ahụ ruru otu mita na ụma isii nʼobosara, nʼotu akụkụ nakwa nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ ya.
49 the length of the porch was twenty cubits and the breadth twelve cubits, and by ten steps they ascend into it, - and there were pillars against the projections, one on this side, and one on that side.
Ebe mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ahụ dị ihe ruru mita iri na otu nʼobosara, sitekwa nʼazụ ruo nʼihu ya ruru mita isii na ụma anọ. Ọ bụ ihe nrigo iri ka eji arịgo ya. Ogidi dịkwa nʼakụkụ ọnụ ụzọ abụọ ahụ otu nʼakụkụ nke a ọzọ nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ ya.
