< Ezekiel 46 >

1 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh [the] gate of the courtyard inner which faces east it will be shut [the] six [the] days of work and on [the] day of the sabbath it will be opened and on [the] day of the new moon it will be opened.
“‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Lango la ukumbi wa ndani linaloelekea upande wa mashariki litakuwa linafungwa kwa siku sita za juma, ila siku ya Sabato na siku ya Mwezi Mwandamo litafunguliwa.
2 And he will go the prince [the] way of [the] porch of the gate from outside and he will stand at [the] doorpost of the gate and they will offer the priests burnt offering his and peace offerings his and he will bow down at [the] threshold of the gate and he will go out and the gate not it will be shut until the evening.
Mkuu anayetawala ataingia kupitia baraza ya njia ya lango la ukumbi na kusimama karibu na nguzo ya lango. Makuhani watatoa sadaka za mkuu anayetawala za kuteketezwa na sadaka za amani. Mkuu anayetawala atasujudu kwenye kizingiti cha njia ya lango, kisha atatoka nje, lakini lango halitafungwa mpaka jioni.
3 And they will bow down [the] people of the land [the] entrance of the gate that on the sabbaths and on the new moons before Yahweh.
Siku za Sabato na za Mwezi mwandamo watu wote wa nchi wataabudu mbele za Bwana penye lile ingilio la ile njia.
4 And the burnt offering which he will bring near the prince to Yahweh on [the] day of the sabbath [will be] six lambs unblemished and a ram unblemished.
Sadaka ya kuteketezwa aletazo mkuu anayetawala kwa Bwana siku ya Sabato itakuwa ni wana-kondoo sita na kondoo dume mmoja, wote wasiwe na dosari.
5 And a grain offering [will be] an ephah for the ram and for the lambs a grain offering [will be] [the] gift of hand his and oil a hin to the ephah.
Sadaka ya nafaka inayotolewa pamoja na huyo kondoo dume itakuwa efa moja na sadaka ya nafaka inayotolewa na hao wana-kondoo itakuwa kiasi apendacho mtu pamoja na hini ya mafuta kwa kila efa.
6 And on [the] day of the new moon a young bull a young one of cattle unblemished and six lambs and a ram unblemished they will be.
Siku ya mwezi mwandamo atatoa fahali mchanga, wana-kondoo sita na kondoo dume, wote wasiwe na dosari.
7 And an ephah for the young bull and an ephah for the ram he will provide a grain offering and for the lambs just as it will reach hand his and oil a hin to the ephah.
Atatoa kuwa sadaka ya nafaka efa moja pamoja na fahali mmoja, efa moja na kondoo dume mmoja na pamoja na wana-kondoo kama atakavyo kutoa, pamoja na hini ya mafuta kwa kila efa.
8 And when comes the prince [the] way of [the] porch of the gate he will come and by way its he will go out.
Wakati mkuu anayetawala aingiapo, atapitia kwenye baraza ya njia ya lango, naye atatoka nje kwa njia hiyo hiyo.
9 And when comes [the] people of the land before Yahweh at the appointed times the [one who] comes [the] way of [the] gate of [the] north to bow down he will go out [the] way of [the] gate of [the] south and the [one who] comes [the] way of [the] gate of [the] south he will go out [the] way of [the] gate north-ward not he will return [the] way of the gate which he came by it for opposite it (he will go out. *Q(K)*)
“‘Wakati watu wa nchi wanapokuja mbele za Bwana katika sikukuu zilizoamriwa, yeyote aingiaye kwa lango la kaskazini kuabudu atatoka nje kwa lango la kusini na yeyote aingiaye kwa lango la kusini atatoka nje kwa lango la kaskazini. Hakuna mtu yeyote atakayerudi kwa kupitia lango lile aliloingilia, lakini kila mmoja atatoka nje kwa lango linalokabili lile aliloingilia.
10 And the prince [will be] in midst of them when come they he will come and when go out they they will go out.
Mkuu anayetawala atakuwa miongoni mwao, akiingia nao ndani wanapoingia, naye atatoka nao nje wanapotoka.
11 And at the festivals and at the appointed times it will be the grain offering an ephah for the young bull and an ephah for the ram and for the lambs [the] gift of hand his and oil a hin to the ephah.
“‘Kwenye sikukuu na kwenye sikukuu zilizoamriwa, sadaka ya nafaka itakuwa efa moja pamoja na fahali mmoja, efa moja pamoja na kondoo dume mmoja, pamoja na idadi ya wana-kondoo kama mtu apendavyo kutoa, pamoja na hini ya mafuta kwa kila efa.
12 And if he will provide the prince a freewill offering a burnt offering or peace offerings a freewill offering to Yahweh and someone will open for him the gate which faces east and he will offer burnt offering his and peace offerings his just as he will offer on [the] day of the sabbath and he will go out and someone will shut the gate after has gone out he.
Mkuu anayetawala anapotoa sadaka ya hiari kwa Bwana, ikiwa ni sadaka ya kuteketezwa au sadaka ya amani, lango linaloelekea mashariki litafunguliwa kwa ajili yake. Atatoa sadaka yake ya kuteketezwa au sadaka yake ya amani kama afanyavyo katika siku ya Sabato. Kisha atatoka nje, naye akiisha kutoka nje, lango litafungwa.
13 And a lamb [the] son of year its unblemished you will offer a burnt offering to the day to Yahweh in the morning in the morning you will offer it.
“‘Kila siku utamtoa mwana-kondoo wa mwaka mmoja asiyekuwa na dosari kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa Bwana, utaitoa kila siku asubuhi.
14 And a grain offering you will offer with it in the morning in the morning sixth of ephah and oil third of hin to moisten the fine flour a grain offering to Yahweh statutes of perpetuity continually.
Pia kila siku asubuhi pamoja na hiyo sadaka utatoa sadaka ya nafaka, ikiwa na sehemu ya sita ya efa pamoja na theluthi moja ya hini ya mafuta ya kuchanganya na ule unga. Utoaji wa sadaka hii ya nafaka kwa Bwana ni amri ya daima.
15 (They will offer *Q(K)*) the lamb and the grain offering and the oil in the morning in the morning a burnt offering of continuity.
Kwa hiyo mwana-kondoo na sadaka ya nafaka na mafuta vitatolewa kila siku asubuhi kwa ajili ya sadaka ya daima ya kuteketezwa.
16 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh if he will give the prince a gift to anyone from sons his [will be] inheritance his it to sons his it will belong [will be] possession their it an inheritance.
“‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Ikiwa mkuu atawalaye atatoa zawadi kutoka kwenye urithi wake na kumpa mmoja wa wanawe, hiyo zawadi itakuwa pia kwa wazao wake, itakuwa mali yao kwa urithi.
17 And if he will give a gift from inheritance his to one of servants his and it will belong to him until [the] year of liberty and it will return to the prince surely inheritance his sons his to them it will belong.
Hata hivyo, kama atatoa zawadi kutoka urithi wake na kumpa mmoja wa watumishi wake, mtumishi anaweza kuiweka mpaka mwaka wa uhuru, kisha itarudishwa kwa mkuu anayetawala. Urithi wake ni wa wanawe peke yao, ni mali yao.
18 And not he will take away the prince any of [the] inheritance of the people to oppress them from possession their some of own possession his he will cause to inherit sons his so that that not they will be scattered people my anyone from possession his.
Mkuu anayetawala hana ruhusa kuchukua urithi wowote wa watu na kuwaondoa kwenye mali zao. Mkuu atawalaye atawapa wanawe urithi wao, kutoka kwenye mali zake mwenyewe, ili kwamba pasiwe na mtu wangu yeyote atakayetengwa na urithi wake.’”
19 And he brought me in the entrance which [was] at [the] side of the gate to the rooms of holiness to the priests which were facing north-ward and there! [was] there a place (in the remotest parts *Q(K)*) west-ward.
Kisha mtu yule akanileta kwa kupitia kwenye ingilio lililokuwa kando ya lango mpaka kwenye vyumba vitakatifu vinavyoelekea kaskazini, ambavyo ni vya makuhani, naye akanionyesha mahali fulani upande wa mwisho wa magharibi.
20 And he said to me this [is] the place where they will boil there the priests the guilt offering and the sin offering where they will bake the grain offering to not to take [them] out into the courtyard outer to make holy the people.
Akaniambia, “Mahali hapa ndipo makuhani watakapotokosea sadaka ya hatia na sadaka ya dhambi na kuoka sadaka ya nafaka, kuepuka kuzileta katika ukumbi wa nje na kushirikisha utakatifu kwa watu.”
21 And he brought out me into the courtyard outer and he made pass me to [the] four [the] corners of the courtyard and there! a courtyard [was] in [the] corner of the courtyard a courtyard [was] in [the] corner of the courtyard.
Baada ya hapo akanileta kwenye ukumbi wa nje na kunizungusha kwenye pembe zake nne, nami nikaona katika kila pembe ya huo ukumbi kulikuwa na ukumbi mwingine.
22 [were] in [the] four [the] corners of The courtyard courtyards enclosed [was] forty [cubits] [the] length and [was] thirty [cubits] [the] breadth measurement one [belonged] to [the] four of them set in corners.
Katika pembe nne za huo ukumbi wa nje kulikuwa na kumbi nyingine, zenye urefu wa dhiraa arobaini na upana wake dhiraa thelathini, ambapo hizo kumbi kwenye hizo pembe nne zilikuwa na vipimo vilivyo sawa.
23 And a row of stones [was] all around in them around to [the] four of them and boiling places [was] made under the rows of stones all around.
Mzunguko wa ndani wa hizo kumbi nne ulikuwa na ukingo wa jiwe, zikiwa na sehemu zilizojengwa kwa ajili ya moto kuzunguka chini ya huo ukingo.
24 And he said to me these [are] [the] house of those [who] boil where they will boil there [those who] serve the house [the] sacrifice of the people.
Akaniambia, “Hizi ndizo sehemu za kupikia ambazo wale wanaohudumu kwenye Hekalu watatokosea dhabihu za watu.”
