Ezekiel 43
1 Then [in the vision] the man brought me to the entrance on the east side.
Awo omusajja n’antwala ku mulyango ogwolekera Obuvanjuba,
2 Suddenly I saw the glory/brightness of the God of Israel coming from the east. The sound of his coming was like the roar of a rushing river, and all that area shone with his glory.
ne ndaba ekitiibwa kya Katonda wa Isirayiri nga kiva Ebuvanjuba, n’eddoboozi lye lyali ng’okuwuuma okw’amazzi amangi, n’ensi n’emasamasa olw’ekitiibwa kye.
3 What I saw in this vision was like what I saw in the visions that I had seen [previously, first] by the Kebar River and [later] when God came to destroy Jerusalem. I prostrated myself on the ground.
Okwolesebwa kwe nalaba kwali nga kuli kwe nalaba bwe najja okuzikiriza ekibuga, era ng’okwolesebwa kwe nalaba ku lubalama lw’omugga Kebali; ne nvuunama.
4 The glory of Yahweh entered the temple through the east entrance.
Awo ekitiibwa kya Mukama ne kiyingira mu yeekaalu nga kiyita mu luggi olwolekera Obuvanjuba,
5 Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner courtyard, and the glory of Yahweh filled the temple.
Omwoyo n’ansitula, n’andeeta mu luggya olw’omunda, n’ekitiibwa kya Mukama ne kijjula yeekaalu.
6 [Then] while the man was standing beside me, I heard someone speak to me from inside the temple.
Awo omusajja ng’ayimiridde okunninaana, ne mpulira omuntu ayogera nange ng’asinziira munda mu yeekaalu;
7 He said, “You human, this is [my temple], the place [I sit on] my throne and where I rest my feet. This is where I will live with the Israeli people forever. The Israeli people and their kings will never again disgrace me [SYN] by worshiping other gods [MET] at the shrines on their hilltops, or by [building] monuments to honor their kings who have died.
n’aŋŋamba nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, kino kye kifo eky’entebe ey’obwakabaka bwange, era ekifo eky’ebigere byange mwe nnaabeeranga wakati mu bantu ba Isirayiri emirembe gyonna. Ennyumba ya Isirayiri tebaliddayo kuvvoola linnya lyange ettukuvu, bo newaakubadde bakabaka baabwe, nga basinza emirambo gya bakabaka baabwe mu bifo byabwe ebigulumivu.
8 They placed their altars near mine, and the doorposts of their [temples] were next to the doorposts of my [temple]. There was only a wall between them. And they disgraced me by the detestable things that they did. So, being very angry with them, I got rid of them.
Bwe baliraanya omulyango gwabwe okumpi n’ogwange, era n’emifuubeeto gyabwe okumpi n’egyange, ekisenge ekyereere nga kye kyawula nze nabo, bavvoola erinnya lyange ettukuvu n’emizizo gyabwe. Kyennava mbazikiriza n’obusungu bwange.
9 Now they must stop this disgusting worship of idols and these rituals to honor their kings who have died. If they stop doing those things, I will live among them forever.
Kaakano baggyewo eby’obugwagwa byabwe, n’okusinza emirambo gya bakabaka baabwe, era babiteeke wala nange, nange naabeeranga wakati mu bo emirembe gyonna.
10 You human, describe to the Israeli people what this temple that I have shown you [in a vision] is like, in order that they will be ashamed of the sins that they have committed [which resulted in their temple in Jerusalem being destroyed].
“Omwana w’omuntu, abantu ba Isirayiri bannyonnyole endabika ya yeekaalu, bakwatibwe ensonyi olw’ebibi byabwe.
11 If they are ashamed of all [the evil things] that they have done, tell them [all] about the temple [that I showed you]: its design/shape, the exits and entrances, [and everything else about it]. And tell them all my laws and regulations about worshiping me there. Write all these things down while they watch you, in order that they will be able to faithfully obey those laws.
Bwe balikwatirwa ensonyi olw’ebyo byonna bye baakola olibategeeza eyeekaalu bw’efaanana, okutegekebwa kwayo, awafulumirwa n’awayingirirwa, n’ekifaananyi kyayo yonna, era n’ebiragiro byamu n’amateeka gaamu. Obiwandiikire mu maaso gaabwe babeere beesigwa okukuuma ebiragiro byamu.
12 And this is the supreme law about the temple [DOU]: All of the area on top of the hill [where the temple will be built] must be kept sacred and holy.”
“Etteeka lya yeekaalu lye lino: Ekifo kyonna ekyetoolodde ku ntikko ey’olusozi kinaabeeranga kitukuvu nnyo. Era eryo lye tteeka erya yeekaalu.
13 These are the measurements of the altar, using the same kind of measuring stick that was used for the temple area: There is a gutter around the altar that is (21 in./53 cm.) deep and (21 in./53 cm.) wide. There is a rim around it that is (9 in./23 cm.) wide.
“Bino bye bipimo by’ekyoto: Entobo yaakyo eriba okukka sentimita amakumi ataano mu munaana n’obugazi sentimita amakumi ataano mu munaana, n’omugo gwakyo ku kamwa kaakyo okwetooloola guliba gwa sentimita amakumi abiri mu bbiri. Obugulumivu bw’ekyoto buliba:
14 The lower part of the gutter is (3-1/2 feet/1.1 meters) high to the lower ledge/rim that surrounds the altar. The lower ledge is (21 in./53 cm.) wide. The upper part of the altar is (7 feet/2.1 meters) high, up to the upper ledge. That ledge is also (21 in./53 cm.) wide.
okuva ku ntobo wansi okutuuka ku mugo ogwa wansi, waliba obugulumivu mita emu ne desimoolo kkumi na mukaaga, obugazi sentimita amakumi ataano mu munaana, ate okuva ku mugo omutono okutuuka ku mugo omunene, obugulumivu mita bbiri ne desimoolo asatu mu bbiri, obugazi sentimita amakumi ataano mu munaana.
15 The (hearth/place where the sacrifices are burned) at the top of the altar is another (7 feet/2.2 meters) high, and there is a projection that juts/extends up from each of the four corners.
Entobo ey’ekyoto eriba obugulumivu mita bbiri ne desimoolo asatu mu bbiri, n’okuva ku ntobo ey’ekyoto okwambuka waliba amayembe ana.
16 That place at the top of the altar is square, (21 feet/6.4 meters) on each side.
Entobo ey’ekyoto eriba ya nsonda nnya, nga zenkanankana, obuwanvu mita mukaaga ne desimoolo kyenda mu mukaaga, n’obugazi mita mukaaga ne desimoolo kyenda mu mukaaga.
17 The upper ledge is also a square, (24-1/2 feet/7.4 meters) on each side. There is a (21 in./53 cm.) gutter [at the bottom of the altar], and a (10.5 in./26.6 cm.) rim all around it. There are steps up to the east side of the altar.”
Omugo ogwa waggulu guliba gwa nsonda nnya ezenkanankana obuwanvu mita munaana ne desimoolo kkumi na bbiri n’obugazi mita munaana ne desimoolo kkumi na bbiri, n’omugo ogugwetooloola guliba obugazi sentimita amakumi abiri mu mwenda, n’entobo yaagwo eriba sentimita ataano mu munaana okugwetooloola. Amadaala ag’ekyoto galitunuulira Ebuvanjuba.”
18 Then the man said to me, “You human, this is what Yahweh the Lord says: These are the regulations for sacrificing offerings that will be completely burned and for sprinkling the blood against the sides of the altar when it is built:
N’aŋŋamba nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti; Bino bye biriba ebiragiro bye munaagobereranga nga muwaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’okumansira omusaayi ku Kyoto, nga kiwedde okuzimbibwa.
19 You must present to the priests a young bull to be an offering to cause the altar to be acceptable to me. The priests are descendants of Levi, from the clan of Zadok, who come near to the altar to serve me.
Muliwaayo ente ennume ento ng’ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi eri bakabona Abaleevi ab’ennyumba ya Zadooki, abampeereza bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
20 You must take some of the blood [from the bull that is sacrificed], and smear it on the four projections of the altar and on the four corners of the upper ledge, and all around the rim, to cause the altar to be acceptable to me, and to consecrate it.
Oliddira omusaayi ogumu okuva mu nte eyo n’oguteeka ku mayembe ana ag’ekyoto, ne ku nsonda ennya ez’omugo ogwa waggulu ne ku mugo ogwa kamwa kaakyo okwetooloola, ne mutukuza ekyoto era ne mu kitangirira.
21 You must burn that bull outside the temple in the part of the temple area [that I have] designated for that.
Muliddira ente ennume ey’ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi, ne mugyokera mu kifo ekyalondebwa ekya yeekaalu ebweru w’Awatukuvu.
22 The next day, you must offer a male goat that has no defects, to be an offering to cause the altar to be acceptable to me. Then you must purify the altar again, like you did with the bull that was sacrificed.
“Ku lunaku olwokubiri muliwaayo embuzi ennume eteriiko kamogo okuba ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi, n’ekyoto kiritukuzibwa mu ngeri y’emu nga bwe kyatukuzibwa n’ente ennume.
23 When you have finished doing all that, you must offer a young bull and a ram, both of them without any defects.
Bwe mulimala okukitukuza, muliwaayo akalume k’ente akato, n’endiga ennume okuva mu kisibo nga teriiko kamogo.
24 You must offer them to [me], Yahweh, and the priests must sprinkle salt on them and completely burn them [on the altar] for a sacrifice to me.
Mulizireeta mu maaso ga Mukama, bakabona ne bamansira omunnyo ku nnyama yaazo, ne baziwaayo ng’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa eri Mukama.
25 [Then], each day for seven days, you must bring [to the priest] a male goat [to be sacrificed] for an offering to cause the altar to be acceptable to me. You must also sacrifice a young bull and a ram, [each] without any defect.
“Mulimala ennaku musanvu nga muwayo embuzi ennume emu buli lunaku ng’ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi. Era muliwaayo n’ente ennume n’endiga ennume, byombi nga tebiriiko kamogo.
26 For seven days the priests will consecrate the altar and cause it to be acceptable to me. By doing that they will dedicate it to me.
Balimala ennaku musanvu nga batangirira ekyoto era nga bakitukuza; bwe batyo ne bakiwaayo eri Katonda.
27 At the end of those seven days, starting on the following day, the priests will continue to put on the altar offerings to be completely burned and offerings to maintain fellowship with me. Then I will accept you. [That it what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.”
Oluvannyuma lw’ennaku ezo, okutandika n’olunaku olw’omunaana, bakabona baliwaayo ebiweebwayo byammwe ebyokebwa, n’ebiweebwayo byammwe olw’emirembe ku kyoto. Kale ndibasembeza, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.”
