Ezekiel 42
1 Next the man sent me out to the outer courtyard on the north side, and he brought me to rooms in front of the outer courtyard and the northern outer wall.
Katahi ahau ka kawea e ia ki to waho marae, ki te ara ki te raki; kawea ana ahau e ia ki te ruma ki te ritenga atu o te wahi motuhake, ki tera i te aronga mai o te whare e anga ana ki te raki.
2 Those rooms were one hundred cubits along their front and fifty cubits in width.
I te ritenga atu o nga whatianga kotahi rau ko te tatau ki te raki, e rima tekau whatianga te whanui.
3 Some of those rooms faced the inner courtyard and were twenty cubits away from the sanctuary. There were three levels of rooms, and the ones above looked down on the ones below and were open to them, having a walkway. Some of the rooms looked out onto the outer courtyard.
I te ritenga atu o nga whatianga e rua tekau o to roto marae, i te ritenga atu ano o te papa kohatu i to waho marae, ko tetahi ara e anga mai ana ki tetahi ara, i te toru o nga whakapaparanga.
4 A passage ten cubits in width and one hundred cubits in length ran in front of the rooms. The rooms' doors were toward the north.
Na i mua i nga ruma ko tetahi wahi haereerenga kotahi tekau whatianga, he mea e anga ana whakaroto, kotahi te whatianga o te ara; i anga o raua tatau ki te raki.
5 But the upper halls were smaller, for the walkways took away from them more space than they did in the lowest and middle levels of the building.
Na i poto iho nga ruma o runga: na nga ara hoki i tango tetahi wahi o enei, nui atu i te tangohanga mai i o raro, i o waenganui, o te whare.
6 For the halls on the third story had no columns, unlike the courtyards, which did have columns. So the highest level's rooms were smaller in size compared to the rooms in the lowest and middle levels.
E toru hoki nga whakapaparanga, kahore ia he pou pera me nga pou o nga marae: na reira i huiti ai o runga rawa i o raro, i o waenganui, i te mea ka anga ake i te whenua.
7 The outside wall ran along the rooms toward the outer courtyard, the courtyard that was in front of the rooms. That wall was fifty cubits in length.
Na, ko te taha i waho e anga ana ki nga ruma, ki to waho marae i te taha ki mua o nga ruma, ko tona roa e rima tekau whatianga.
8 The length of the rooms of the outer courtyard was fifty cubits, and the rooms facing the sanctuary were one hundred cubits in length.
E rima tekau whatianga hoki te roa o nga ruma i to waho marae: na i mua i te temepara kotahi rau whatianga.
9 There was an entrance to the lowest rooms from the east side, coming from the outer courtyard.
I raro ano i enei ruma te tapokoranga atu i te rawhiti, i te mea ka tapoko atu i to waho marae.
10 Along the wall of the outer courtyard on the eastern side of the outer courtyard, in front of the sanctuary's inner courtyard, there were also rooms
He ruma ano i te wahi matotoru o te pakitara i te marae ki te rawhiti, i te ritenga atu o te wahi motuhake, i te ritenga ake ano o te whare.
11 with a walkway in front of them. They were as the appearance of the rooms on the northern side. They had the same length and breadth and the same exits and arrangements and doors.
Na, ko te ara i mua i era, rite tonu te ahua ki to nga ruma i anga ki te raki; rite tonu te roa, rite tonu te whanui: ko nga putanga atu rite tonu ki nga tikanga, rite tonu ki nga tatau.
12 On the south side were doors into rooms that were just the same as on the north side. A passage on the inside had a door at its head, and the passage opened into the various rooms. On the east side there was a doorway into the passage at one end.
Rite tonu ano ki nga tatau o nga ruma e anga ana ki te tonga te tatau i te ahunga mai o te ara, o te ara i mua tonu i te taiepa ki te rawhiti i te mea ka tomo tetahi ki roto.
13 Then the man said to me, “The northern rooms and the southern rooms that are in front of the outer courtyard are holy rooms where the priests who work nearest to Yahweh may eat the most holy food. They will put the most holy things there—the food offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering—for this is a holy place.
Katahi ia ka mea ki ahau, Ko nga ruma ki te raki, ko nga ruma ki te tonga i mua i te wahi motuhake, he ruma tapu ena, ka kainga nga mea tapu rawa ki reira e nga tohunga e whakatata ana ki a Ihowa: me waiho i reira nga mea tapu rawa, me te whakah ere totokore, me te whakahere hara, me te whakahere mo te he: he tapu hoki taua wahi.
14 When the priests enter there, they must not go out of the holy place to the outer court, without laying aside the clothes in which they served, since these are holy. So they must dress in other clothes before going near the people.”
Ka tae nga tohunga ki roto, kaua e haere atu i roto i te wahi tapu ki to waho marae; engari me waiho i reira o ratou kakahu e minita ai, he tapu hoki; me kakahu ano etahi atu kakahu, ka whakatata ai ki nga mea ma te iwi.
15 The man completed measuring the inner house and then took me out to the gate that faced the east and measured all the surrounding area there.
Na ka mutu tana whanganga i to roto whare, ka kawea ahau e ia ki te kuwaha e anga ana ki te rawhiti, whanganga ana ia i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha.
16 He measured the east side with a measuring stick—five hundred cubits with the measuring stick.
I whanganga e ia ki te kakaho whanganga te taha ki te rawhiti, e rima rau kakaho, he mea whanganga ki te kakaho whanganga, i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha.
17 He measured the north side—five hundred cubits with the measuring stick.
I whanganga ia ki te taha i te raki, e rima rau kakaho, he mea whanganga ki te kakaho whanganga, i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha.
18 He also measured the south side—five hundred cubits with the measuring stick.
I whanganga ia ki te taha ki te tonga e rima rau kakaho, he mea whanganga ki te kakaho whanganga.
19 He also turned and measured the west side—five hundred cubits with the measuring stick.
I tahuri atu ia ki te taha ki te hauauru, whanganga ana e ia, e rima rau kakaho, ki te kakaho whanganga.
20 He measured it on four sides. It had a wall around it that was five hundred cubits in length, and five hundred cubits in width, to separate the holy from that which is common.
Whanganga ana a reira e ia i nga taha e wha: he taiepa tona a tawhio noa, e rima rau kakaho te roa, e rima rau te whanui, hei wehe i te wahi tapu i te wahi noa.
