Ezekiel 44

1 And he brought back me [the] way of [the] gate of the sanctuary outer which faces east and it [was] shut.

Hili ia naʻa ne toe ʻomi au ki mui ʻi he hala ʻoe matapā ʻoe potu tapu kituʻa, ʻaia ʻoku hanga ki hahake; pea naʻe tāpuni ia.

2 And he said to me Yahweh the gate this shut it will be not it will be opened and anyone not he will go in it for Yahweh [the] God of Israel he has gone in it and it will be shut.

Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe Sihova kiate au; “ʻE tāpuni ʻae matapā ni, pea ʻe ʻikai fakaava ia, pea ʻe ʻikai ha tangata ʻe hū atu ki ai; he koeʻuhi kuo hāʻele atu ai ʻa Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ko ia ʻe tāpuni ai ia.

3 The prince prince he he will sit in it (to eat *Q(K)*) bread before Yahweh from [the] way of [the] porch of the gate he will come and from way its he will go out.

Kuo tuku ia ki he tuʻi; ʻe nofo ʻi ai ʻae tuʻi ke kai mā ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; ko ia ia ʻe hū atu ʻi he hala ʻoe fale hala ʻi he matapā ko ia, pea te ne toe ʻalu atu ai pe kituʻa.”

4 And he brought me [the] way of [the] gate of the north to [the] face of the house and I saw and there! it filled [the] glory of Yahweh [the] house of Yahweh and I fell to face my.

Hili ia naʻa ne ʻomi au ki he hala ʻi he matapā ki tokelau ʻi he mata fale: pea naʻaku sio, pea vakai, naʻe fakapito ʻaki ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova; pea naʻaku tō hifo ki hoku mata.

5 And he said to me Yahweh O son of humankind set heart your and see with eyes your and with ears your hear all that I [am] speaking you of all [the] statutes of [the] house of Yahweh and of all (laws its *Q(K)*) and you will set heart your to [the] entrance of the house on all [the] exits of the sanctuary.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, tokanga lahi ho loto, pea sio ʻaki ho mata, pea fanongo ho telinga ki he meʻa kotoa pē, ʻoku ou lea ʻaki kiate koe ʻi he ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ʻoku kau ki he fale ʻo Sihova, mo hono ngaahi fekau; pea ke tokanga lahi ki he ngaahi hūʻanga ki loto fale, mo hono ngaahi hala kotoa pē kituʻa, mei he potu toputapu.”

6 And you will say to rebellion to [the] house of Israel thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh [was too] much for you for all abominations your O house of Israel.

Pea te ke lea ki he kau angatuʻu, ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ʻE fale ʻo ʻIsileli, tuku ke lahi eni ʻa hoʻomou ngaahi fakalielia,

7 When brought you sons of foreignness uncircumcised of heart and uncircumcised of flesh to be in sanctuary my to profane it house my when brought near you food my fat and blood and they broke covenant my because of all abominations your.

He kuo mou ʻomi ʻae kakai muli, ʻae kau taʻekamu ʻi loto, pea taʻekamu fakakakano ke nau ʻi hoku potu toputapu ke nau fakalieliaʻi ia, ʻio, ʻa hoku fale, ʻi hoʻomou ʻatu ʻa ʻeku meʻa, ʻae ngako, pea mo e toto, pea kuo nau maumauʻi ʻa ʻeku fuakava, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau ngaahi fakalielia.

8 And not you kept [the] charge of holy things my and you appointed [them]! to [the] keepers of charge my in sanctuary my for yourselves.

Pea kuo ʻikai te mou tauhi ʻa ʻeku ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni; ka kuo mou fakanofo ʻae kau leʻo maʻamoutolu pe, ke tauhiʻi ʻa hoku potu toputapu.

9 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh any son of foreignness uncircumcised of heart and uncircumcised of flesh not he will go into sanctuary my to every son of foreignness who [is] in among [the] people of Israel.

ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “ʻE ʻikai ha taha muli, pe ha taʻekamu ʻi loto, pe ha taʻekamu fakakakano, ʻe hū ki hoku potu toputapu, pe ha taha ʻi he kau muli kotoa pē ʻoku nofo mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.”

10 That except the Levites who they became distant from with me when went astray Israel who they went astray from with me after idols their and they will bear iniquity their.

Pea ko e kau Livai naʻe ʻalu ʻo hē mamaʻo meiate au, ʻi heʻene ʻalu hēhē ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu hē meiate au, ko e muimui ki honau ngaahi tamapua; te nau fua pe ʻekinautolu ʻa ʻenau fai angahala.

11 And they will be in sanctuary my serving overseers to [the] gates of the house and serving the house they they will slaughter the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people and they they will stand before them to serve them.

Ka neongo ia te nau tauhi ʻa hoku fale tapu, mo leʻohi ʻae ngaahi matapā ʻoe fale, mo fai ʻae ngāue ʻi loto fale: te nau tāmateʻi ʻae feilaulau tutu, mo e feilaulau ʻae kakai, pea te nau tutuʻu ʻi honau ʻao, mo ngāue kiate kinautolu.

12 Because that they served them before idols their and they became for [the] house of Israel a stumbling block of iniquity there-fore I lift up hand my on them [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh and they will bear iniquity their.

Koeʻuhi naʻa nau ngāue kiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo honau ngaahi tamapua, mo nau fakahalaʻi ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli; ko ia kuo u hiki hake ai ʻa hoku nima kiate kinautolu, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, pea te nau fua ʻenau angahala.

13 And not they will draw near to me to serve as priests me and to draw near to all holy things my to [the] holy things of the holy things and they will bear disgrace their and abominations their which they have done.

Pea ʻe ʻikai te nau haʻu ke ofi kiate au, ke fai ha ngāue fakataulaʻeiki kiate au, pe te nau ofi mai ki heʻeku ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni, ʻi he potu toputapu ʻaupito: ka te nau fua pe ʻenau mā, pea mo e ngaahi fakalielia ʻaia kuo nau fai.

14 And I will make them [the] keepers of [the] charge of the house for all service its and for all that it will be done in it.

Ka te u tuku ʻakinautolu ke tauhi ki he nāunau ʻoe fale, ʻi hono ngāue ʻo ia, mo ia kotoa pē ʻe fai ʻi ai.

15 And the priests the Levites [the] sons of Zadok who they kept [the] charge of sanctuary my when went astray [the] people of Israel from with me they they will draw near to me to serve me and they will stand before me to bring near to me fat and blood [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

“Ka ko e kau taulaʻeiki ʻae kau Livai, ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Satoki, ʻakinautolu naʻe tauhi ki hoku fale tapu, ʻi heʻene ʻalu pehē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli meiate au, ko kinautolu ia ʻe ʻomi ke ofi kiate au, ke nau tauhi kiate au, pea te nau tutuʻu ʻi hoku ʻao, ke feilaulau ʻaki kiate au, ʻae ngako mo e toto, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua:

16 They they will come into sanctuary my and they they will draw near to table my to serve me and they will keep charge my.

Te nau hū atu ki hoku potu tapu, pea te nau ʻunuʻunu mai ke ofi ki heʻeku keinangaʻanga, ke fai ngāue kiate au, pea te nau tauhi ʻa ʻeku fekau.

17 And it will be when come they into [the] gates of the courtyard inner clothes of linen they will be clothed and not it will go up on them wool when serve they at [the] gates of the courtyard inner and [the] inside towards.

Pea ʻe hoko ia ʻo pehē, ʻoka nau ka hū atu ʻi he ngaahi matapā ʻoe lotoʻā ki loto, te nau kofuʻaki ʻae kofu tupenu lelei; ʻe ʻikai siʻi kau ha kofu sipi ki heʻenau kofu, ʻoka nau ka fai ʻae ngāue ʻi he ngaahi matapā ʻoe lotoʻā ki loto, pe ʻi loto.

18 Head-dresses of linen they will be on head their and undergarments of linen they will be on loins their not they will gird themselves with sweat.

Te nau tatā ʻaki ʻae tupenu lelei ki honau ʻulu, pea te nau kofuʻaki ʻae tupenu lelei ki honau kongaloto; ʻe ʻikai te nau ʻai kiate kinautolu ha meʻa ʻoku fakatupu pupuha.

19 And when go out they into the courtyard outer into the courtyard outer to the people they will take off clothes their which they [were] serving in them and they will set down them in [the] rooms of holiness and they will put on clothes other and not they will consecrate the people by clothes their.

Pea ka nau ka ʻalu atu ki he lotoʻā kituʻa, ʻio, ki he lotoʻā kituʻa ki he kakai, te nau toʻo honau ngaahi kofu naʻa nau ngāue ai, mo tuku ia ʻi he ngaahi potu fale māʻoniʻoni, pea te nau ʻai ʻae ngaahi kofu kehe; pea ʻe ʻikai te nau fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻae kakai ʻi honau ngaahi kofu.

20 And head their not they will shave and hair not they will let loose surely they will trim heads their.

Pea ʻe ʻikai te nau tekefua, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau tuku ke lōloa honau louʻulu, ka ʻe kosikosi pe ke nounou.

21 And wine not they will drink any priest when come they into the courtyard inner.

Pea ʻe ʻikai siʻi inu ha uaine ʻe ha taulaʻeiki ʻoka fai ʻe ia ke hū ki he lotoʻā ki loto.

22 And a widow and a divorced [woman] not they will take for themselves to wives that except virgins from [the] offspring of [the] house of Israel and the widow who she will be a widow from a priest they will take.

Pea ʻe ʻikai te nau uaifi ʻaki ha fefine kuo mate ʻa hono husepāniti, pe ha taha kuo fakamavae: ka tenau mali mo e kau finemui ʻi he hako ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli, pe ko e fefine naʻe mali mo ha taulaʻeiki kuo pekia.

23 And people my they will instruct between a holy thing and a profane thing and between an unclean [thing] and a clean [thing] they will make known to them.

Pea te nau akoʻi ʻa hoku kakai ke ʻilo ʻaia ʻoku māʻoniʻoni mo ia ʻoku kovi, mo nau fakahā ke mahino kiate kinautolu ʻae meʻa ʻoku taʻemaʻa mo ia ʻoku maʻa.

24 And on a dispute they they will stand (for judgment *Q(K)*) by judgments my (they will judge it *Q(K)*) and laws my and statutes my in all appointed times my they will observe and sabbaths my they will sanctify.

Pea ka ai ha fakakikihi, ko kinautolu ia ʻe tuʻu ko hono fakamaauʻi; pea te nau fakamaauʻi ia ʻo fakatatau ki heʻeku fakamaau: pea te nau fai ʻa ʻeku ngaahi fono mo ʻeku ngaahi fekau ʻi he ngaahi fakataha kotoa pē ʻoku fai kiate au; pea te nau fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻa hoku ngaahi ʻaho tapu.

25 And to dead a person not he will go to become unclean that except for a father and for a mother and for a son and for a daughter for a brother and for a sister who not she has belonged to a husband they will make themselves unclean.

Pea ʻe ʻikai te nau ala ki ha taha kuo mate, ke nau ʻuli ai: ka ʻe ngofua ʻenau fakaʻuliʻi ʻakinautolu ʻo kapau ko haʻanau tamai, pe ko e faʻē, pe ko e foha pe ko e ʻofefine, pe ko ha tokoua, pe ha tuofefine ʻoku ʻikai ke mali.

26 And after purification his seven days people will count for him.

Pea hili hono fakamaʻa ia, te nau lau kiate ia ha ʻaho ʻe fitu.

27 And on [the] day goes he into the holy place into the courtyard inner to serve in the holy place he will bring near sin offering his [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

Pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻoku ne hū atu ai ki he potu tapu, ki he lotoʻā ki loto, ke ngāue ʻi he potu tapu, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, te ne feilaulau ʻaki maʻana ha feilaulau ʻi he angahala.

28 And it will become for them an inheritance I [am] inheritance their and a possession not you will give to them in Israel I [am] possession their.

Pea ʻe hoko ia ko e tofiʻa kiate kinautolu: ko au ko honau tofiʻa: pea ko ia ʻe ʻikai vahe ai hanau tofiʻa ʻi ʻIsileli: he ko honau tofiʻa au.

29 The grain offering and the sin offering and the guilt offering they they will eat them and every devoted thing in Israel to them it will belong.

Te nau kai mei he feilaulau ʻoe meʻakai, mo e feilaulau koeʻuhi ko e angahala, mo e feilaulau ʻi he fai hala; pea ʻe ʻanautolu ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku feilaulau ʻaki ʻi ʻIsileli.

30 And [the] best of all [the] first-fruits of everything and every contribution of everything from all contributions your to the priests it will belong and [the] best of dough your you will give to the priest to cause to rest blessing to house your.

Pea ʻe ʻi he kau taulaʻeiki ʻae ʻuluaki vahe ʻi he ʻuluaki fua ʻoe meʻa kotoa pē, mo e feilaulau kotoa pē ʻi hoʻomou feilaulau kehekehe: te mou ʻatu foki ki he kau taulaʻeiki ʻae ʻuluaki vahe ʻo hoʻomou mā kuo natu, koeʻuhi ke hoko ai mo nofomaʻu ʻae tāpuaki ki homou fale.

31 Any carcass and torn flesh from the bird[s] and from the animal[s] not they will eat the priests.

‌ʻE ʻikai kai ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻi ha meʻa kuo mate mahaki pe, pe ʻi ha meʻa kuo haehae pe ko ha manupuna pe ko ha manu kehe ia.”
