< 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.
“‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Ọnụ ụzọ ama nke ogige ime, nke na-eche ihu nʼọwụwa anyanwụ ga-abụ ihe e mechiri emechi nʼụbọchị isii niile unu na-arụ ọrụ. Ma a ga-emeghe ya nʼụbọchị izuike, na nʼụbọchị mmemme ọnwa ọhụrụ.
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.
Nwa eze ga-esitekwa na mpụta ọnụ ụlọ nke ọnụ ụzọ ama bata, guzoro nʼakụkụ ọnụ ụzọ ama. Ndị nchụaja ga-edozikwa aja nsure ọkụ ya, na aja udo ya. Ọ ga-anọkwa nʼụlọ mbata kpọọ isiala nke ofufe ya, sitekwa nʼebe ahụ pụọ. Ma a gaghị emechi ọnụ ụzọ ahụ tutu ruo anyasị.
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.
Nʼihu ọnụ ụzọ ama ka ndị ala a ga-anọ fee Onyenwe anyị ofufe nʼụbọchị izuike na nʼụbọchị mmemme ọnwa ọhụrụ.
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.
Ihe nwa eze ahụ ga-eji chụọrọ Onyenwe anyị aja nsure ọkụ nʼụbọchị izuike na nʼoge mmemme ọnwa ọhụrụ ga-abụ ụmụ ebule isii, na otu ebule, ndị na-enweghị ntụpọ.
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].
Ọ ga-eweta ihe e ji achụ aja mkpụrụ ọka, nke bụ iri lita ụtụ ọka abụọ na abụọ, na otu ebule. Ọ ga-ewetakwa lita mmanụ oliv asaa maka iri lita ụtụ ọka abụọ na abụọ ahụ, tinyere onyinye ụmụ atụrụ dịka o si masị ya.
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.
Nʼụbọchị mmemme ọnwa ọhụrụ, ọ ga-eweta otu nwa oke ehi, ụmụ atụrụ isii na otu ebule, ha niile ọ dịghị nke ga-enwe ntụpọ ọbụla.
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].
Ọ ga-ewetakwa otu oke ehi na iri lita ụtụ ọka iri abụọ na abụọ, maka aja mkpụrụ ọka. Ọ ga-enye ebule ahụ na iri lita ụtụ ọka iri abụọ na abụọ. Ọ ga-enyekwa ụmụ atụrụ ndị ahụ na ụtụ ọka dịka o si masị ya inye ha, tinyere iri lita ọka abụọ na abụọ, nke ọ ga-eweta maka lita mmanụ oliv asaa.
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].
Mgbe nwa eze ga-abata nʼụlọ ahụ, ọ ga-esite na mpụta ọnụ ụlọ nke ọnụ ụzọ ama, ebe ahụ kwa ka ọ ga-esikwa pụọ.
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.
“‘Ma mgbe ndị ala ahụ ga-abata nʼihu Onyenwe anyị nʼoge mmemme dị nsọ, onye ọbụla sitere nʼọnụ ụzọ dị nʼugwu bata aghaghị ịpụ site nʼọnụ ụzọ nke dị na ndịda. Ndị si na ndịda bata ga-esitekwa nʼụzọ nke ugwu pụọ. Ọ dịghị onye ga-esi nʼụzọ o si bata laghachi, kama ha ga-esi ụzọ nke chere ebe ha si bata ihu pụọ.
10 The king must go in when the other people go in, and go out when the people go out.
Nwa eze ga-anọ nʼetiti ha, ọ bụrụ na ha abanye, ọ ga-eso ha banye, ọ bụrụkwa na ha apụwa, ọ ga-esokwa ha pụọ.
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.
Nʼoge mmemme ndị ahụ pụrụ iche, na mmemme ndị akara aka, ihe a ga-eji nye onyinye mkpụrụ ọka ga-abụ iri lita ụtụ ọka abụọ na abụọ, na otu oke ehi, na iri lita ụtụ ọka abụọ na abụọ na otu ebule, tinyere ụmụ atụrụ nke ọnụọgụgụ ya ga-abụ dịka o si masị ya, tinyere lita mmanụ asaa maka iri lita ụtụ ọka abụọ na abụọ ọbụla.
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.
“‘Mgbe ọbụla onyeisi chọrọ inye onyinye afọ ofufu, maka ịchụrụ Onyenwe anyị aja nsure ọkụ maọbụ aja udo, a ga-emeghere ya ọnụ ụzọ ime nke dị nʼọwụwa anyanwụ ka o si nʼebe ahụ bata. Ọ ga-enye onyinye ya dịka e si enye ya nʼụbọchị izuike. Emesịa, ọ ga-atụgharịa pụọ. A ga-emechikwa ụzọ ahụ mgbe ọ pụchara.
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.
“‘Ọ bụ nwa atụrụ gbara otu afọ nke na-enweghị ntụpọ ka ị ga-eweta ụbọchị niile maka ịchụ aja nsure ọkụ nye Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụ kwa ụtụtụ, kwa ụtụtụ ka ị ga-eweta ya.
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.
Ị ga-ewetakwa onyinye mkpụrụ ọka kwa ụtụtụ kwa ụtụtụ tinyere ya, ihe niile ga-emejupụta ya bụ lita ụtụ ọka isii, na lita mmanụ abụọ e ji agwakọta ya. Iche onyinye mkpụrụ ọka a nʼihu Onyenwe anyị bụ ụkpụrụ ga-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
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.
Ya mere, ha ga-edozi nwa atụrụ na ụtụ ọka na mmanụ oliv ahụ, kwa ụtụtụ kwa ụtụtụ, maka aja nsure ọkụ a na-achụ kwa mgbe niile.
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.
“‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, ọ bụrụ na onyeisi enye onye ọbụla nʼime ụmụ ya ndị ikom onyinye site nʼihe nketa ya, ihe ahụ ga-abụ nke ya, bụrụkwa nke mkpụrụ ya, ọ ga-abụ oke ha site nʼihe nketa ruo ebighị ebi.
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.
Ọ bụrụkwanụ na o kenye otu nʼime ndị ohu ya ala site nʼihe nketa ya, ala ahụ ga-abụ nke ohu ahụ tutu ruo nʼafọ inwere onwe, nke bụ afọ asaa ọbụla. Mgbe ahụ, ohu ahụ ga-enwere onwe ya, ma ala ahụ ga-aghọkwa nke nwa eze ahụ. Ihe nketa ya bụ nke dịịrị naanị ụmụ ya, nke ha ka ọ bụ.
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.’”
Nwa eze ahụ agaghị ewere ala ọbụla site nʼihe nketa ndị mmadụ nʼaka ike, si otu a chụpụ ha site nʼala ha. Ala ọbụla ọ na-enye ụmụ ya ga-abụrịrị ihe nketa sitere nʼala nke aka ya. Ka a ghara ime ka ọ bụladị otu nʼime ndị m bụrụ onye e kewapụrụ site nʼihe nketa ha.’”
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].
Mgbe nke a gasịrị, o duuru m site nʼọnụ ụzọ dị nʼakụkụ ọnụ ụzọ ama kpọbata m nʼọnụụlọ ndị ahụ dị nsọ, nke chere ihu nʼugwu, nke bụ ihe nketa ndị nchụaja. O gosiri m otu ebe dị na nsọtụ akụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ.
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.”
Ọ sịrị m, “Ebe a ka ndị nchụaja ga-anọ sie anụ aja ikpe ọmụma na aja mmehie. Ebe a ka ha ga-anọkwa ghee onyinye mkpụrụ ọka, ka a ghara iwebata ha na mpụta ogige a nakwa ido ndị mmadụ nsọ.”
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;
Mgbe ahụ, o mere ka m pụta ọzọ nʼogige ezi. O duuru m gaa nʼakụkụ anọ nke ogige ahụ. Ahụrụ m na e nwere ogige nke dị nʼakụkụ ọbụla.
22 each of those areas was (70 feet/21.2 meters) long and (52-1/2 feet/15.9 meters) wide.
Nʼakụkụ anọ nke ogige ndị a, ogige ndị ọzọ dị nʼime ha. Ha ruru mita iri abụọ na atọ nʼogologo, ebe obosara ha rukwara mita iri na asaa nʼọkara. Ogige anọ ndị a ha nʼotu.
23 Around the inside of each of those enclosed areas was a stone ledge, with places to make fires all around under each ledge.
Nʼime ụlọ ahụ, gburugburu ya, e nwere ahịrị e ji nkume doo, nke nwere ekwu dị nʼokpuru ahịrị nkume ahụ.
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.”
Ọ sịrị m, “Ndị a bụ ụlọ ebe ndị niile na-eje ozi nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ ga-anọ na-esi ihe aja niile ndị mmadụ webatara.”
