Ezekiel 42
1 [in the vision] the man led me out of the inner courtyard, through [the entrance on] the north side. We entered the outer courtyard and came to a building that was built against the north [of the inner courtyard].
Apre sa, nonm lan mennen m' nan gwo lakou deyò a. Li fè m' antre nan yon gwo batisman ki sou bò nò tanp lan, pa twò lwen kay ki sou bò solèy kouche Tanp lan.
2 That building was (175 feet/53 meters) long and (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) wide. Its doorway faced north.
Batisman sa a te gen sanswasantwit pye longè, katrevenkat pye lajè.
3 In that building were two rows of rooms, built on three levels, that faced each other. One row of rooms was built against the wall of the inner courtyard, and the other row was built against the wall facing the outer courtyard. The building was 34 feet from the temple.
Sou yon bò te gen yon galeri trannkat pye lajè ki fè wonn Tanp lan. Sou lòt bò a, te gen pave gwo lakou deyò a. Kay la te yon chanmòt twa etaj, chak etaj te pi dèyè pase etaj anba l' la.
4 Between the [two] rows of rooms there was a walkway that was (17-1/2 feet/5.3 meters) wide and (175 feet/53 meters) long. All its doors were on the north side.
Pòt chanm yo te bay sou bò nò, yo te louvri sou yon koridò sèz pye lajè, sanswasantwit pye longè ki pase devan chanm yo.
5 Each of the upper rows of rooms was narrower than the row of rooms below them, [because the upper rows needed to have a walkway in front of them].
Chanm ki te nan etaj anwo nèt la te pi fèmen pase chanm ki te nan etaj mitan an ak chanm ki te nan etaj anba nèt la, paske yo te bati plis sou dèyè.
6 The rooms on the upper levels had no pillars to support them like the ones in the courtyard. Instead, each of those row of rooms were supported by the walls of the row of rooms on the level below.
Nan tout twa etaj yo, pyès ki te anwo nèt la te pi fèmen pase sa ki te nan mitan an ak sa ki te anba nèt la. Yo pa t' gen poto pilye pou sipòte yo tankou lòt kay yo nan lakou a.
7 The wall of the building extended (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) past the set of rooms built along the outer courtyard, separating all the rooms from the outer courtyard.
Miray deyò Tanp lan, sou anba nèt, sou menm nivo ak premye etaj la, te gen katrevenkat pye epesè, ki vle di mwatye lajè gwo kay nò a.
8 The row of rooms that were along the outer courtyard was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) long, and the set of rooms that faced the temple was (175 feet/53 meters) long.
Anwo nèt, pyès yo te pran tout lajè kay la. Paske fasad devan kay la te gen sanswasantwit pye.
9 The lowest row of rooms had an entrance from the outer courtyard, on the east side.
Anba chanm yo, sou bò solèy leve kay la, kote miray la konmanse a, te gen yon pòtay pou antre nan gwo lakou deyò a.
10 On the south [side], along the wall of the outer courtyard, next to the temple courtyard, was a [a building with two] rows of rooms,
Sou bò sid Tanp lan, te gen yon lòt gwo batisman tankou premye a, toupre gwo pyès ki sou bò solèy kouche Tanp lan.
11 with a walkway between them. Those rooms were like the rooms on the north [side]: they were the same length and width, and had the same kind of entrances.
Devan chanm yo, te gen yon koridò tankou pou kay ki sou bò nò a. Li te gen menm longè, menm lajè avè l', menm fòm, ak menm pozisyon pou pòt yo ak fennèt yo.
12 The doorways on the south side were similar to the doorways on the north side. There was an entrance in the wall that faced the doors of the set of rooms, and there was an entrance on the east side, at the end of the inside walkway.
Te gen yon pòt nan chanm yo sou bò sid kay la ki louvri sou koridò nan pwent bò solèy leve a, kote miray la konmanse a.
13 Then the man said to me, “These rooms that overlook the temple on the north and south sides are holy. Here the priests who offer sacrifices to Yahweh will [their portions of] the sacred offerings. Because these rooms are holy, they will be used to store the sacred offerings: [the grain for] the grain offerings, the offerings for the sins that people have committed, and offerings in order that people will no longer be guilty for having sinned.
Lè sa a, nonm lan di m': -De gwo kay sa yo, yonn sou bò nò, yonn bò sid, se chanm ki mache ak chanm yo met apa pou Seyè a. Se la prèt k'ap sèvi devan lotèl Seyè a manje ofrann yo mete apa pou Seyè a. Chanm sa yo fèt pou rete apa pou Seyè a tou. Se la prèt yo pral met ofrann yo met apa pou Seyè a, ofrann grenn jaden osinon bèt yo ofri bay Seyè a pou mande l' padon pou peche osinon pou peye pou sa yo te fè ki mal, paske kay sa a apa pou Seyè a.
14 When the priests leave the temple, they will not be allowed to [immediately] enter the outer courtyard. First, they must remove the clothes that they had been wearing inside the temple, because those clothes are holy. They must put on other clothes before they enter the parts [of the temple area] where the [other] people [gather].”
Lè prèt yo fin sèvi nan Tanp lan, anvan yo soti nan gwo lakou deyò a, se pou yo ale nan kay sa a pou yo mete rad seremoni yo te gen sou yo pandan sèvis la, paske rad sa yo se rad ki apa pou Seyè a. Se pou yo mete lòt rad sou yo anvan yo soti nan zòn kote pèp la rasanble a.
15 When the man had finished measuring the inside of the temple area, he led me out through the east entrance [of the outer courtyard] and measured all the way around the temple area.
Lè nonm lan fin mezire tout anndan Tanp lan, li soti avè m' nan pòtay bò solèy leve a, epi li mezire gwo lakou ki fè wonn Tanp lan.
16 He measured the four sides of the area. There was a wall around the area that was (875 feet/265 meters) long on each side.
Li pran baton pou mezire a, li pran mezi fasad ki bay sou solèy leve a. Li jwenn witsankarant (840) pye.
Apre sa, li mezire bò ki bay sou nò a, li jwenn witsankarant (840) pye tou.
Apre sa, li mezire bò ki bay sou sid la, li jwenn witsankarant (840) pye.
Lèfini, li mezire bò ki bay sou solèy kouche a, li jwenn witsankarant (840) pye tou.
20 That wall separated the [area which was] sacred/holy from the [areas that were] not sacred.
Konsa, li jwenn miray ki te fè wonn tanp lan ansanm ak gwo lakou a te kare kare, witsankarant (840) pye chak bò. Miray la te sèvi pou separe sa ki te apa pou Seyè a ak sa yo pa t' mete apa pou Seyè a.
