Ezekiel 40
1 Almost 25 years after we had been [to Babylonia], on the tenth day of the first month of that year, almost 14years after Jerusalem had been destroyed, in a vision [I felt] the power [MTY] of Yahweh on me, and he took me to Israel.
Ie amy taom-paha roapolo lim’ ambi’ i fandrohiza’aiy, amy loha-taoñey, amy andro valoha’ i volañeiy, le amy taom-paha-folo-efats’ ambi’ ty fandafañe i rovay, le tamako amy andro zay ty fità’ Iehovà vaho nendese’e mb’eo.
2 He set me on a very high mountain. On the south side of that mountain there were some buildings that appeared to be [part of] a city.
Ie amo aroñaron’ Añahareo, le nendese’e mb’an-tane’ Israele añe naho napo’e ambone’ ty vohitse mitiotiotse eo, vaho ama’e ey ty firafin-drova mañatimo.
3 When he took there, I saw a man whose face was like [SIM] bronze. He was standing in the entrance [of a building]. He had a linen cord and a measuring stick in his hand.
Teo ty nendese’e ahy, le ingo t’indaty hoe tarehen-torisìke ty vinta’e, nitintiñe taly leny am-pità’e naho kobaim-panjeheañe; nijohañe an-dalambey ey.
4 He said to me, “You human, look carefully at everything that I am going to show you, and pay attention to everything that I say and everything that I will show you, because that is why you have been brought here. [And then later] you must tell the Israeli people everything that you have seen [here].”
Le hoe indatiy tamako: O ana’ ondatio, mahaisaha am-pihaino, naho mijanjiña an-dravembia, vaho ajadoño an-tro’o ao ze he’e haboako, fa nendeseko etoañe hanoroako azo; hene taroño amy anjomba’ Israeley ze oni’o.
5 [In the vision I saw that] there was a wall that completely surrounded the temple area. The measuring stick in the man’s hand was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) long. He measured the wall: It was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) thick and (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) high.
Ingo ty kijoly alafe’ i anjombay mañarikatoke aze; ampità’ indatiy ty kobaim-panjeheañe, enen-kiho-lava ty andava’e, kiho raike itovoñam-pohem-pitañe i kiho zay; aa le zinehe’e ty ampohe’ i kijoliy: kobaiñe raike, naho ty haabo’e: kobaiñe raike.
6 Then he went to the entryway on the east [side of the temple]. He climbed the steps and measured the outer threshold/opening for the entryway: It was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) deep.
Niheo mb’amy lalambey mitolik’ atiñanan-dre le niañambone’ i fanonga’ey, vaho zinehe’e ty tokona’ i lalambeiy, kobaiñe raike ty ampohe’e, le ty tokona’e ila’e: kobaiñe raike ty ampohe’e.
7 Next, there was an entry hallway with [three] (alcoves/very small rooms) along each side [where the guards stood]. Each of the alcoves was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) on each side. There was a dividing wall between each alcove that was (8-3/4 feet/2.7 meters) wide. At the end of the entry hallway was the inner threshold/opening for the entryway, (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) deep. It led to the entry room [to the inner courtyard] and faced the temple.
Le ty trañom-pigaritse, kobay raike ty andava’e naho kobay raike ty ampohe’e; kiho lime ty añivo’ i traño rey, vaho kobay raike ty takona’ i lalañe amy lavaranga’ i lalambey miatreke i anjombaiiy.
8 Then he measured the entry room at the end of the entry hallway.
Zinehe’e ka ty tokona’ añate’ i lalambey, kobaiñe raike.
9 It was about (14 feet/4.2 meters) long, and its supporting columns were (3-1/2 feet/1.1 meters) thick. The entry room of the entryway was at the end of the entry hallway that faced the temple [and extended into the courtyard].
Le zinehe’e ty treha’ i tokonan-dalambeiy: kiho valo; naho o tolà’eo: kiho roe; vaho niatreke i anjombay ty fiziliha’ i lalambeiy.
10 Inside the east entryway there were three alcoves on each side of the entry hallway. They each had the same length and width. And the measurements of the walls that divided the alcoves were all identical.
Trañom-pigaritse telo ty añ’ila’ i lalambey atiñanañey etoy naho telo añ’ ila’e aroy, mira ty zehe’ i telo rey; vaho sindre aman-jehen-tolàñe mira ty añ’ila’e atoy naho ty añ’ila’e aroy.
11 Then he measured the threshold/opening for the entryway: It was (17-1/2 feet/5.3 meters) wide, and the entry hallway [between the alcoves] was (22-3/4 feet/6.9 meters) wide.
Zinehe’e ka ty am-pohe’ i fizilihan-dalambeiy: kiho folo; naho ty andava’ i lalambeiy: kiho folo-telo’ amby.
12 In front of each alcove was a low wall about (21 inches/53 cm.) high, and the alcoves were (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) on each side.
Ty jeba’e aolo’ o efe-trañoo le kiho raik’ añ’ila’e atoy naho kiho raik’ añ’ila’e eroy; i efe-traño rey le enen-kiho añ’ila’e etoy naho enen-kiho ty eroy.
13 Then he measured the width of the roof of the entrance hallway, the distance between the rear wall of one alcove to the rear wall of the opposite alcove, [including the supporting walls along each side]. It was (43-3/4 feet/13.3 meters).
Zinehe’e ka ty lalambey boak’ ami’ty tafon-efe-traño raike pak’ an-tafo’ i raikey; kiho roapolo-lim’amby, an-dalañe miatre-dalañe.
14 Then he measured all along the dividing walls between the alcoves all along the inside of the entry hallway: It was (105 feet/31.8 meters). He measured as far as the entry room of the entryway.
Nanoe’e tolàñe ka, kiho enempolo, le nanahake izay o lalambey sisa añ’ariari’ i kiririsaio.
15 The length from [outer] opening of the entryway to the far end of the entry room was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters).
Le boak’an-tarehe’ i lalam-pizilihañey pak’ an-tarehe’ ty figadoña’ i efe-pizilihañey, limampolo kiho.
16 There were [small] windows in the outside walls of all the alcoves, and also in the inner dividing walls between the alcoves. There were also small windows in the entry room. The dividing walls were decorated with [carvings of] palm trees.
Songa reke-pikatohañe o lalan-kede amy efe-traño rey naho amo tolà’e añate’ i lalambeio mb’eo mb’eo, le izay ka amo mivokokeo, vaho mañariary o efe-traño am-po’ iareoo o lalan-kede’eo; sindre aman-tsatrañe o tolàñeo.
17 Then [in the vision] he brought me to the outer courtyard. There I saw some rooms, and a stone path/pavement along the walls around the courtyard. There were thirty rooms along the path.
Nendese’e an-kiririsa añate’e ao iraho, le ingo ty efe-traño naho ty dalaze am-bato hara’e tsaratseak’ añ’ ariari’ i kiririsay; efe-traño telopolo ty niatreke i dalazey.
18 The stone path was all around the courtyard, and it extended out from the walls into the courtyard for the same distance as the entry room [of the entryway]. That was the lower path.
Tañ’ila’ o lalambeio i damokey ty amy halava’ o fizilihañeoy, i damok’ ambaney izay.
19 Then the man measured the distance [across the outer courtyard of the temple], between the inner [entrance of] the entryway and [the wall surrounding the] inner courtyard: It was (175 feet/53 meters) [on the east side and on the north side of the courtyard].
Zinehe’e maniñana boak’ am-piatrefa’ i lalambey ambaney pak’am-para’ i kiririsa añate’ey, kiho zato, vaho hoe izay ka ty mañavaratse.
20 Then he measured how long and how wide was the entryway that was on the north side, the entrance into the outer courtyard [of the temple].
Le nizehe’e ty andava naho ty am-pohe’ i lalambein-kiririsa’ alafe’e nitolik’ avaratsey.
21 There were three alcoves on each side of the entryway hall. The measurements of the alcoves, the dividing walls between the alcoves, and the entry room were the same as as those in the first entryway. The length from [outer] opening of the entryway to the far end of the entry room was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters). The entryway was (43-3/4 feet/13.3 meters) wide.
Telo ty trañom-pigaritse añ’ila’e etoy naho telo ty añ’ila’e eroy; ie mira amo nizeheñe amy lalambey valoha’ey naho o tolañeo naho o vokokeo; kiho limampolo ty andava’e le kiho roapolo-lim’ amby ty ampohe’e.
22 Its windows and the entry room and the palm tree [decorations all] measured the same as the ones on the east [side]. There were seven steps up to the outer threshold/opening for the entryway, and an entry room was at the other end of the entryway.
Mira amo nanjeheañe amy lalambey nitolik’ atiñanañeio o lalan-kede’eo naho o lavaranga’eo vaho o satra’eo; fanongañe fito ty mañambone ama’e le aolo’ iareo eo i lavaranga’ey.
23 There was an entryway to the inner courtyard that faces the north entryway, like there was on the east [side]. The man measured [the distance] from [the north] entryway to the entryway [on the other side]; it was (175 feet/53 meters).
Manahake i lalam-bey atiñanañey le mitolik’ amy lalam-bein-kiririsa añate’e ty lalambey avaratse, ie zinehe’e boak’an-dalambey pak’an-dalambey tandrife: le kiho zato.
24 Then he brought me through the south entryway [into the outer courtyard], and he measured it. It measured the same as the other entryways. Its alcoves, its dividing walls between the alcoves, and its entry room measured the same as the ones on the other sides.
Ie amy zay nendese’e mañatimo, le inge ty lalambey mitolik’ atimo: zinehe’e o tolà’eo naho o voko’eo, le nira amy nizehèñe rey.
25 The alcoves and the entry room had [narrow] windows along the walls, like on the other [sides]. The length [of the outer opening of the] entryway [to the far end of the entry room was] was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) and the entryway was (43-3/4 feet/13.3 meters) wide.
Manahake o ila’eo o lalan-kede niariary aze naho o voko’eo; kiho limampolo ty andava’e naho kiho roapolo-lim’ amby ty am-pohe’e.
26 There were seven steps up to the outer threshold/opening for the entryway, and an entry room was (opposite it/at the end of the entryway facing the courtyard). It [also] had [carvings of] palm trees on the dividing walls that were between the alcoves.
Fito ty fanongañe miañambone ama’e, le aolo’ iareo o voko’eo; nitemeren-tsatrañe o tolà’eo, ty añ’ila’e etoy naho ty añ’ila’e eroy.
27 The inner courtyard also had an entryway on the south [side]. He measured from that entryway to the entrance on the south [side of the outer courtyard; it was also] (175 feet/53 meters).
Teo ty lalambey nitolik’ atimo amy kiririsa añate’ey; zinehe’e ty boak’an-dalambey pak’ an-dalambey atimo, zato kiho.
28 Then [in the vision] he brought me through the south entryway into the inner courtyard, and he measured the south entryway. It measured the same as the other [entryways].
Nendese’e nizilik’ an-dalam-bey atimo mb’an-kiririsa añate’e mb’eo; le zinehe’e i lalam-bey atimoy ie nira amy nanjeheañe o ila’eoy;
29 Its alcoves [along the entry hallway], its dividing walls [between the alcoves], and its entry room measured the same as [the ones on] the other [sides]. The alcoves and the entry room had windows. The length [of the outer opening of the] entryway [to the far end of the entry room was] was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) and the entryway was (43-3/4 feet/13.3 meters) wide.
mira amy nanjeheañe rey ka o efe-traño’eo, naho o tolà’eo naho o voko’eo; mañariary aze naho o voko’eo o lalan-kede’eo; kiho limampolo ty an-dava’e vaho roa-polo-lim’ amby ty am-pohe’e.
30 The entry rooms around [the inner courtyard] were (43-3/4 feet/13.3 meters) wide and (8.7 feet/2.6 meters) long.
Vokoke ty nañariary aze, kiho roapolo-lim’ amby ty an-dava’e naho kiho lime ty ampohe’e.
31 The entry room faced the outer courtyard. There were [carvings of] palm trees that decorated the columns, and there were eight steps [up] to the entryway.
Miakatse an-kiririsa alafe’e ao o voko’eo, hene aman-tsatrañe o tolà’eo, valo ty fanongañe miañambone ama’e.
32 Then he led me to the east side of the inner courtyard, and he measured the entrance. It had the same measurements as the other [entrances]
Nendese’e mb’añ’ila atiñana’ i kiririsa añate’ey mb’eo iraho; le zinehe’e i lalambeiy t’ie nira amo ila’eo.
33 Its alcoves and dividing walls and entry room measured the same as the others.
Mira ami’ty zehe’ o ila’eo ka o efe-traño’eo, naho o tolà’eo, naho o voko’eo; mañariary aze naho o voko’eo o lalan-kede’eo; kiho limampolo ty andava’e naho kiho roapolo-lim’ amby ty ampohe’e.
34 Its entry room faced the outer courtyard. It also had carvings of palm trees that decorated the walls, and it had eight steps up to it.
Miakatse mb’ an-kiririsa alafe’e mb’eo o voko’eo, sindre reke-tsatrañe o tolà’eo añ’ ila’e etoy naho añ’ ila’e eroy; valo ty fanongañe miañambone ama’e.
35 Then he led me to the entrance on the north side and measured it. It measured the same as the other entrances.
Le nendese’e mb’amy lalam-bey avaratsey mb’eo, naho zinehe’e te mira ami’ty zehe’ o ila’eo:
36 And its alcoves and walls between them and the entry room all had [small] windows in the walls. It was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) long and (43.7 feet/13.3 meters) wide.
o efe-traño’eo, o tolà’eo naho o voko’eo; vaho mañariary aze o lalan-kede’eo; kiho limampolo ty andava’e naho kiho roapolo-lim’ amby ty ampohe’e.
37 Its entry room faced the outer courtyard. There were [carvings of] palm trees that decorated its walls, and there were eight steps [up] to the entryway.
Mimoak’ an-kiririsa alafe’e ao o tolà’eo; nitemeren-tsatrañe o tolà’e añ’ila’e etoy naho añ’ila’e eroio, valo ty fanongañe miañambone ama’e.
38 [In the vision, I saw that] in the inner entry room of the north entryway there was a door to a side room. That side room was where the [carcasses of the] animals that would be burned completely [on the altar] were washed.
Añivo o tolà’ i lalambei’eio ty fizilihañe mb’ami’ty traño-kede; ao ty fanasañe o hisoroñañeo.
39 In the entry room, there were two tables on each side [of the room]. On those tables would be slaughtered the animals that would be completely burned, and the animals for offerings for sins that people had committed, and offerings to cause people to longer be guilty for having sinned.
Le amy fizilihañey ty rairay roe añ’ila’e etoy naho ty roe añ’ila’e eroy, handentàñe o soroñeo, o engan-kakeoo naho o engan-tahiñeo.
40 Along the outside wall of the entry room, on each side of the steps at the opening to the entryway on the north side, were two tables.
Rairay roe ty añ’ila’ alafe’ i fanongañe mimoak’ an-dalam-bey avaratsey; naho rairay roe ty añ’ila’e ka, amy fizilihañe i lalambeiy ao.
41 [So] there were four tables outside the entrance and four tables inside the entry room, on which the [animals to be] sacrificed were slaughtered.
Aa le rairay efatse ty añ’ ila’e etoy, naho rairay efatse ty añ’ila’ ty lalambey eroy; rairay fandentàñe valo.
42 There were also four tables of cut stone for the offerings to be completely burned, (31-1/2 in./80 cm.) on each side and (21 in./53 cm.) high. On those stone tables would be placed the tools for slaughtering all the animals for the sacrifices.
Nanoeñe vato tsinerake i rairay efats’ o soron-koroañeo rey, kiho raike tsy tampa’e ty andava’e naho kiho raike tsy tampa’e ty ampohe’e, vaho kiho raike ty haabo’e; ie ambone’e eo ty fampipohañe haraom-pandentàñe engan-ko lorañe naho soroñe.
43 The meat for the offerings would be placed on [stone] tables. There were hooks [on which the meat was hung], each with two prongs, each (3 in./8 cm.) long, fastened to the walls [of the entry room].
Nirekets’ añ’ ariari’ i trañoy ty porengotse maro, sindre zehem-pitàñe ty andava’e; naho amy rairay rey i hena hisoroñañey.
44 Outside the inner entryway, inside the inner courtyard, were two rooms, one on the north side and one on the south side.
Alafe’ i lalambei’ añate’ey an-kiririsa’ añate’e añ’ila’ i lalambey avaratsey ty trañom-pisabo miatrek’ atimo, teo ka ty añ’ila’ i lalambey atiñanañey miatrek’ avaratse.
45 The man said to me, “The room whose door faces south is for the priests who are in charge of the work in the temple.
Le hoe re amako, Ty traño miatrek’ atimo toy le a o mpisoroñe mitoloñe amy anjombaio.
46 The room whose door faces north is for the priests who are in charge of [the work at] the altar. They are the descendants of Zadok; they are the only descendants of Levi who are permitted to approach Yahweh while they work for him.”
I traño miatrek’ avaratsey le a’ o mpisoroñe mitoroñe amy kitreliio; o ana’ i Tsadoke kinoik’ amo ana’ i Levio ro hitotok’ am’ Iehovà hiatrak’ azeo.
47 Then he measured the courtyard: It was square, (175 feet/53 meters) long and (175 feet/53 meters) wide. The altar was in front of the temple.
Zinehe’e ka i kiririsay, kiho zato ty andava’e naho kiho zato ty ampohe’e, efa-mira; aolo’ i anjombay ty kitrely.
48 Then [in the vision] he brought me to the entry room of the temple, and measured the walls on each side of the entrance: They were (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) thick. The entrance was (24-1/2 feet/7.4 meters) wide, and the walls on each side of the entrance were (5-1/4 feet/1.6 meters) long.
Le nendese’e mb’am-piziliha’ i anjombay iraho, vaho zinehe’e o tolà’ i fizilihañeio: kiho lime ty añ’ ila’e etoy naho kiho lime ty añ’ ila’e eroy; kiho telo ka ty am-pohe’ i lalambeiy añ’ ila’e etoy naho telo kiho ty añ’ ila’e eroy.
49 The entry room was (35 feet/10.6 meters) wide on each side. There were ten steps up to it, and there were pillars on each side of the entrance.
Kiho roapolo ty andava’ i fizilihañey, naho kiho folo-raik’ amby ty ampohe’e; fanongañe ty fimoahañe; tsotsòke raike ty añ’ila’ o tolà’eo etoy naho raike ty eroy.
