Ezekiel 43
1 Then he took me unto the gate, —even the gate that looked toward the east;
Yule mtu kisha akanileta hata kwenye lango lililokuwa linaelekea mashariki.
2 when lo! the glory of the God of Israel coming from the way of the east, —and the sound of him, was as the sound of many waters, and the earth shone with his glory.
Tazama! Utukufu wa Mungu wa Israeli ukaja kutoka mashariki; sauti yake ilikuwa kama sauti ya maji mengi, na nchi iling'aa kwa utukufu wake.
3 And it was like the appearance of the vision which I had seen like the vision which I saw—when I came in to destroy the city, also the visions were like the vision which I saw by the river Chebar, —so I fell upon my face.
Yalikuwa yanalingana na sura ya ono nililolona, kulingana na ono nililokuwa nimeliona wakati alipokuja kuuteketeza mji, na maono yalikuwa kama maono ambayo niliyokuwa nimeyaona Keberi Kanali nikaanguka kifudi fudi.
4 And the glory of Yahweh entered into the house, —by way of the gate which looked toward the east.
Hivyo utukufu wa Yahwe ukaja kwenye nyumba ya karibu na njia ya lango lililokuwa wazi kwa upande wa magharibi.
5 So then the spirit lifted me up, and brought me into the inner court, —and lo! the glory of Yahweh filled the house.
Kisha Roho akanichukua na kunileta kwenye ua wa ndanni. Tazama! Utukufu wa Yahwe ulikuwa umeijaza nyumba.
6 Then heard I one speaking unto me. out of the house, —and a man, there was standing beside me.
Mtu alisimama karibu na mimi, na nikamsikia mtu mwingine akizungumza na mimi kutoka kwenye nyumba.
7 Then said he unto me, Son of man This is the place of my throne and the place of the soles of my feet where I would dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel to times age-abiding, - But the house of Israel must, no more defile my holy Name. They, nor their kings by their unchastity, and by the carcases of their kings in their high places,
Akanambia, “Mwanadamu, hapa ndipo mahali pangu pa enzi na mahali kwa ajili ya ya miguu yangu, ambapo nitaishi kati ya watu wa Israeli milele. Nyumba ya Israeli haitalikufuru tena jina langu takatifu-wao au wafalme wao katika mahali patakatifu pao.
8 When they placed— Their threshold by my threshold and their door-post beside my door-post, With, only the wall, between me and them, then defiled they my holy Name by their abominations which they committed, Wherefore I devoured them in mine anger.
Hawatalikufuru tena jina langu takatifu kwa kuweka kizingiti chao karibu na kizingiti changu, na nguzo yao ya lango karibu na nguzo yangu ya lango, bila kitu lakini ukuta kati yangu na wao. Wamelikufuru jina langu kwa matendo yao machafu, hivyo nimewala kwa hasira yangu.
9 Now, let them remove their unchastity and the carcases of their kings far from me, - So will I make my habitation in the midst of them, to times age-abiding.
Sasa waache waondoe udanganyifu wao na maiti za wafalme wao kutoka kwangu, na nitaishi katikati yao milele.
10 Thou, son of man, Declare the house unto the house of Israel, That they may be put to the blush for their iniquities, - Then let them measure the pattern.
Mwanadamu, wewe mwenyewe utaiambia nyumba ya Israeli kuhusu nyumba hii hivyo watajiskia aibu ya uovu wao. Wanaweza kutafakari kuhusu haya maelezo.
11 And when they have blushed for all that they have done, then The form of the house. And the arrangement thereof And the exits thereof. And the entrances thereof And all the forms thereof, and all the statutes thereof. And all the forms thereof and all the laws thereof, make thou known unto them, And write [it] before their eyes; That they may keep— All the forms thereof And all the statutes thereof. And do them.
Kwa kuwa wameaibika kwa yote waliyoyafanya, kisha waonyeshe mchoro wa nyumba, maelezo yake, matokeo yake, maingio yake, na mchoro wake, sheria zake zote na kanuni. Kisha andika hivi chini mbele ya macho yao ili waweze kutunza michoro yote na kanuni zake zote, hivyo kama wazitiivo.
12 This shall be the law of the house, — Upon the top of the mountain, all the boundary thereof round about on every side, [shall be] most holy, Lo! this, shall be the law of the house.
Hii ndiyo sheria kwa ajili ya nyumba: Kutoka kwenye kilele cha mlima hata mpaka wote unaoizunguka, patakuwa patakatifu sana. Tazama! Hii ndiyo sheria kwa ajili ya nyumba.
13 And these, shall be the measures of the altar, in cubits, a cubit being a cubit and a handbreadth; and the hollow, shall be a cubit, and a cubit the breadth, and the boundary thereof unto the edge thereof round about shall be a single span. And this, shall be the upper part of the altar,
Hivi vitakuwa vipimo vya madhabahu katika dhiraa-hiyo dhiraa kuwa dhiraa ya kawaida na urefu wa kiganja. Hivyo mfereji ulio uzunguka madhabahu utakuwa dhiraa moja chini, na upana wake pia utakuwa dhiraa moja. Mpaka wa karibu uizungukayo machinjio shubiri moja. Hii itakuwa kitako cha madhabahu.
14 And from the hollow of the ground unto the lower ledge, [shall be] two cubits, and the breadth, one cubit, - and from the smaller ledge unto the larger ledge, [shall be] four cubits, and the breadth, a cubit.
Usawa wa kutoka kwenye mferji hadi kwenye machinijo ya chini ya madhabahu itakuwa dhiraa mbili, na hiyo machinjio yenyewe itakuwa dhiraa moja upana. Kisha kutoka machinjio madogo hadi kwenye machinjio makubwa ya madhabahu, itakuwa dhiraa nne, na machinjio makubwa yatakuwa dhraa moja upana.
15 And the hearth, [shall, be] four cubits, —and from the hearth and upward, the horns [shall be] four.
Meko juu ya madhabahu kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa ni dhiraa nne juu, na kuna pembe nne zilizoelekea juu kwenye meku.
16 And the hearth shall be twelve cubits in length, by twelve in breadth—square in the four sides thereof.
Meku ina dhiraa kumi na moja urefu na dhiraa kumi na mbili upana, za mraba.
17 And the ledge shall be fourteen in length, by fourteen in breadth, unto the four sides thereof, —and the boundary round about it shall be half a cubit and, the hollow thereto, a cubit round about, with, the steps thereof, looking toward the east.
Mpaka wake ni dhiraa kumi na nne urefu na dhiraa kumi na nne upana pande zake zote nne, na ukingo wake ni nusu dhiraa upana. Mfereji ni dhiraa moja upana kuzuka kote pamoja na ngazi zielekeazo mashariki.”
18 Then said he unto me, Son of man, Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh, These, shall be the statutes of the altar, in the day when it is made, —for offering up thereon—an ascending-sacrifice, and for dashing thereon—blood.
Kisha akanambia, “Mwanadamu, Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Hizi ndizo sheria kwa ajili ya madhabahu katika siku watakayoitengeza, kwa ajili kutoa sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwenye hiyo, na kwa jili ya kunyunyiza damu juu yake.
19 So then thou shalt give unto the priests the Levites those who are of the seed of Zadok who approach unto me Declareth My Lord Yahweh. to wait upon me—a young bullock as a sin-bearer,
Utatoa ng'ombe kutoka kwenye kundi kama sadaka ya dhambi kwa ajili ya Walawi makuhani ambao ni uzao wa Zadoki, wale wajao karibu nami kunitumikia-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.
20 Then shalt thou take of the blood thereof and place upon the four horns thereof and on the four corners of the ledge, and on the boundary, round about, —and shalt cleanse it from sin and put a propitiatory-covering over it.
Kisha utachukua baadhi ya damu yake na kuiweka juu pembe nne za madhabahu na pande nne za machinjio na kuuzunguka ukingo; utaitakasa na kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake.
21 Then shalt thou take the bullock bearing sin, - and shalt burn it in the appointed place of the house, outside the sanctuary,
Kisha chukua ng'ombe kama sadaka ya dhambi na iteketezwe katika eneneo lililotengwa la nje ya patakatifu.
22 And on the second day, shalt thou bring near a kid of the goats without defect as a sin-bearer, —and they shall cleanse the altar from sin just as they cleansed it from sin with the bullock,
Kisha katika siku ya pili utatoa mbuzi dume asiyekuwa na dosari kutoka kundini kama sadaka ya dhambi; makuhani wataisafisha madhabahu kama walivyoisafisha kwa ng'ombe.
23 When thou hast made an end of cleansing from sin, thou shalt bring near a young bullock without defect, and a ram out of the flock without defect;
Utakapomaliza kusafisha, toa ng'ombe asiyekuwa na dosari kutoka kwenye mifugo na kondoo dume asiyekuwa na dosari kutoka kundini.
24 and shalt bring them near before Yahweh, —and the priests shall cast over them salt, so shall they cause them to go up as an ascending-sacrifice to Yahweh.
Watoe mbele ya Yahwe; makuhani watanyunyiza chumvi juu yao na kuwainua juu kama sadaka ya kutekezwa kwa Yahwe.
25 Seven days, shalt thou offer a sin-bearing goat for each day, —and a young bullock and aram out of the flock without defect, shall they offer.
Utaandaa mbuzi dume kama sadaka ya dhambi kila siku kwa mda wa siku saba, na makuhani pia wataandaa ng'ombe asiye na dosari kutoka kwenye kundi na kondoo dume kutoka kwenye kundi.
26 Seven days, shall they put a propitiatory covering over the altar, and shall purify it, —and shall consecrate it.
Wataipatanisha madhabahu kwa siku saba na kuitakasa, wataitakasa kwa njia hii.
27 When the days shall be accomplished, then shall it be on the eighth day and forward, that the priests shall offer upon the altar your ascending-sacrifices and your peace offerings. And I will accept you Declareth, My Lord Yahweh.
Watamaliza hizi siku saba, na katika siku ya nane na kuendelea itakuwa kwamba makuhani wataandaa sadaka za kuteketezwa na sadaka za amani kwenye madhabahu, ndipo nitakapowakubali-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.”
