< Ezekiel 46 >

1 “‘This is [also] what [I], Yahweh the Lord, declare: The east entryway of the inner courtyard must be shut during the six days in which people work each week, but on the Sabbath days and on the days when there is a new moon, that entryway must [remain] open until that evening.
“‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Pòtay pou lakou enteryè ki bay fas vè lès la va fèmen pandan sis jou travay yo; men li va ouvri nan Saba a, e li va vin ouvri nan jou nouvèl lin nan.
2 The king must enter the courtyard through the entry room of the entryway, and stand alongside the entry post. [Then] the priests must sacrifice the animal that the king brought to be completely [on the altar], and also his offering to maintain fellowship with me. The king must worship me at the entrance of the entryway, and then he must go out. [After he leaves], the entryway will not be shut until that evening.
Prens lan va antre pa chemen galri a, soti deyò pou kanpe akote poto pòtay la. Epi prèt yo va founi ofrann brile li yo ak ofrann lapè li yo, li va adore nan papòt pòtay la, e li va sòti. Men pòtay la p ap fèmen jis rive nan aswè.
3 On the Sabbath days and on the [days when there is a] new moon, the people must worship [me] at the entrance of the entryway.
Pèp peyi a osi va adore nan papòt pòtay la devan SENYÈ a, nan Saba yo, ak nouvèl lin yo.
4 The offering that the king brings to be completely burned on the Sabbath day must be six lambs and one ram, all with no defects.
Ofrann brile ke prens lan va ofri a SENYÈ a nan jou Saba, a va sis jenn mouton san defo, ak yon belye san defo;
5 The offering [that he gives] with the ram must be a bushel of grain, and the grain [that he offers] with the lambs should be as much as he desires to offer, along with (1 gallon/3.8 liters) of [olive] oil for each bushel [of grain].
epi ofrann sereyal la va yon efa ak belye a, ofrann sereyal la ak jenn mouton yo, va kantite ke li kapab bay la e yon mezi lwil ak yon efa.
6 [Then] each day that there is a new moon, he must offer a young bull, six lambs and a ram, all with no defects.
Nan jou nouvèl lin nan, li va ofri yon jenn towo san defo; anplis, sis jenn mouton ak yon belye ki san defo.
7 He must [also] provide one bushel of grain with the bull, one bushel of grain with the ram, and as much grain as he wants with the lambs, along with one quart/liter of [olive] oil with each bushel [of grain].
Epi li va founi yon ofrann sereyal, yon efa ak towo a, yon efa ak belye a, ak jenn mouton yo, kantite ke li kapab bay la, yon mezi lwil ak yon efa.
8 When the king enters [the temple area], he must enter through the entry room of the entryway, and he must go out through that same entry room [when he leaves].
Lè prens lan antre, li va antre pa galri pòtay la, e li va sòti pa menm chemen an.”
9 When the Israeli people come to worship me at the festivals that I have appointed, those who enter the temple area through the north entryway must go out through the south entryway. And those who enter through the south entryway must go out through the north entryway. People must not go out through the entryway through which they entered; they must go out through the opposite entryway.
“‘“Men lè pèp peyi a vini devan SENYÈ la nan fèt chwazi yo, sila ki antre pa pòtay nò pou adore a, va sòti pa pòtay sid la. Epi sila ki antre pa pòtay sid la, va sòti pa pòtay nò a. Pèsòn pa pou retounen pa menm chemen ke li te antre a, men li va sòti tou dwat.
10 The king must go in when the other people go in, and go out when the people go out.
Lè yo antre, prens lan va antre pami yo; epi lè yo sòti, li va sòti.”
11 During the festivals and sacred feasts, the king must present a bushel of grain along with each bull or ram, and as much grain as he wants to bring, along with the lambs and (1 gallon/3.8 liters) of olive oil with each bushel of grain.
“‘“Nan fèt ak jou fèt chwazi yo, ofrann sereyal yo va yon efa ak yon towo, yon efa ak yon belye, ak jenn mouton yo, kantite ke l ap kapab bay la, yon mezi lwil ak yon efa.
12 When the king gives an offering that is not required, either one to be completely burned [on the altar] or an offering to maintain fellowship with [me, Yahweh, the entryway on the east side of the courtyard] must be opened for him. Then he must present those offerings like he does on the Sabbath days. Then he must go out, and after he goes out, the entryway must be shut.
Lè prens lan founi yon ofrann bòn volonte, yon ofrann brile, oswa ofrann lapè kon ofrann bòn volonte a SENYÈ la, pòtay vè lès la va vin ouvri pou li. Epi li va founi ofrann brile pa li a, ak ofrann lapè li a, jan li konn fè nan jou Saba a. Epi li va sòti e pòtay la va vin fèmen lè li fin sòti.
13 Every day, during the morning, someone must provide a one-year-old lamb with no defects to be an offering to me that will be completely burned.
“‘“Epi ou va founi yon mouton yon lane, san defo pou yon ofrann brile a SENYÈ a chak jou; chak maten, ou va founi li.
14 Someone must also provide each morning an offering of flour. It must be one sixth of a bushel of flour mixed with one quart/liter of [olive] oil. These offerings of flour and olive oil to must be presented [to me], Yahweh, each day.
Anplis, ou va founi yon ofrann sereyal ak li chak maten, yon sizyèm efa ak yon tyè mezi lwil pou mouye farin fen an, yon ofrann sereyal a SENYÈ a tout tan selon yon òdonans ki p ap janm fini oubyen chanje.
15 The lamb and the offering of flour and [olive] oil must be presented to me every morning, to be completely burned on the altar.
Konsa, yo va founi yon ofrann sereyal ak li chak maten, kon yon ofrann brile ki va fèt tout tan.”
16 This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare: If the king gives some of his land to one of his sons, to belong to him permanently, it will then belong to his son’s descendants forever.
“‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Si prens lan bay yon don eritaj a nenpòt nan fis li yo, li va apatyen a fis li yo; se posesyon pa yo selon règleman eritaj la.
17 However, if he gives some of his land to one of his servants, the servant is allowed to keep that land until the Year of Celebration. Then the king will own it again; the king’s land must belong to his descendants forever.
Men si li bay yon don nan eritaj li a youn nan sèvitè li yo, sa va pou li jis rive nan ane libète a; epi li va retounen a prens lan. Eritaj li va sèl pou fis li yo; li va apatyen a yo menm.
18 The king must not take any land that the people own and force them to live somewhere else. The land that he gives to his sons must be from his own property, [not from anyone else’s property], in order that none of my people will be forced to leave his own property.’”
Prens lan pa pou pran nan eritaj a pèp la e mete yo deyò nan pwòp posesyon pa yo. Li va bay fis li yo yon eritaj k ap sòti nan pwòp posesyon pa li, pou pèp Mwen an pa vin divize, okenn moun, de posesyon pa li a.”’”
19 Then, [in the vision], the man [who was showing the temple area to me] brought me through the entrance alongside the entryway and led me to the sacred rooms on the north side, the rooms that the priests used, and he showed me a place at the western end [of those rooms].
Epi li te mennen m pase nan antre akote pòtay la, antre anndan chanm sen pou prèt yo, ki te bay fas vè nò. Epi gade byen, te gen yo plas pa dèyè nèt vè lwès.
20 He said to me, “This is the place where the priests must cook the meat of the offerings that people bring in order to no longer be guilty for having sinned, and offerings for their sins, and where they will bake bread made with the flour brought to be offerings. [They will cook those things in their rooms] in order to avoid bringing them into the outer courtyard [to cook them there], lest someone [be punished because of] touching them.”
Li te di mwen: “Sa se plas kote prèt yo va bouyi ofrann koupab ak ofrann peche a ak kote yo va kwit ofrann sereyal la, pou yo pa oblije mennen yo deyò nan lakou eksteryè a, pou l ta transmèt sentete a pèp la.”
21 Then the man brought me to the outer courtyard and led me to its four corners. In each corner I saw an enclosed area;
Konsa, li te mennen m deyò nan lakou eksteryè a, e te mennen m travèse kat kwen lakou a; epi gade byen; nan chak kwen lakou a, te gen yon ti lakou.
22 each of those areas was (70 feet/21.2 meters) long and (52-1/2 feet/15.9 meters) wide.
Nan kat kwen lakou a, te gen ti lakou fèmen karant koude nan longè e trant koude nan lajè, yo tout te nan menm mezi.
23 Around the inside of each of those enclosed areas was a stone ledge, with places to make fires all around under each ledge.
Te gen yon miray ki te antoure yo, antoure yo toule kat, e pozisyon pou bouyi yo a te fèt toutozanviwon anba mi yo.
24 The man said to me, “These are the kitchens where [the descendants of Levi] who work in the temple must cook the sacrifices that the people bring.”
Epi li te di m: “Sila yo se plas bouyi kote sèvitè kay yo va bouyi sakrifis a pèp yo.”
