Ezekiel 43
1 The man then brought me to the gate that opened to the east.
Muri iho ka kawea ahau e ia ki te kuwaha, ara ki te kuwaha e anga ana ki te rawhiti.
2 Behold! The glory of the God of Israel came from the east; his voice was like the sound of many waters, and the earth shone with his glory.
Na, ko te kororia o te Atua o Iharaira e puta mai ana, i te ara ki te rawhiti; ko tona reo rite tonu ki te haruru o nga wai maha: marama tonu te whenua i tona kororia.
3 It was according to the appearance of the vision that I saw, according to the vision that I saw when he had come to destroy the city, and the visions were like the vision that I saw at the Kebar Canal—and I fell to my face.
Ko tona rite kei te ahua o taku kite i kite ai, ki tera i kite ra ahau i ahau e haere ana ki te whakangaro i te pa; rite tonu hoki nga kite ki taku i kite ai ki te awa, ki Kepara: a takoto tapapa ana ahau.
4 So the glory of Yahweh came to the house by way of the gate that opened to the east.
Na kua tae te kororia o Ihowa ki roto ki te whare; i tika na te ara o te kuwaha e anga ana ki te rawhiti.
5 Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court. Behold! The glory of Yahweh was filling the house.
Na ka hapainga ake ahau e te wairua, kawea ana e ia ki to roto marae. Na, kua ki te whare i te kororia o Ihowa.
6 The man was standing beside me, and I heard someone else speaking to me from the house.
I rongo ano ahau i tetahi e korero ana ki ahau i roto i te whare: me te tu ano tetahi tangata ki toku taha.
7 He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place for the soles of my feet, where I will live in the midst of the people of Israel forever. The house of Israel will no longer profane my holy name—they or their kings—with their faithlessness or with the corpses of their kings at their high places.
Na ka mea ia ki ahau; E te tama a te tangata, Ko te wahi tenei i toku torona, ko te wahi ano i nga kapu o oku waewae, ko te wahi e noho nei ahau i waenganui i nga tama a Iharaira a ake ake; e kore ano toku ingoa tapu e whakapokea a muri nei e te whare o Iharaira, e ratou, e o ratou kingi, ki a ratou moepuku, ki nga tinana ranei o o ratou kingi i o ratou wahi tiketike;
8 They will no longer profane my holy name by putting their threshold next to my threshold, and their gateposts next to my gateposts, with nothing but a wall between me and them. They profaned my holy name with their disgusting actions, so I consumed them with my anger.
I ta ratou whakanohoanga i to ratou paepae ki te taha o toku paepae, i to ratou pou tatau i te taha o toku pou tatau, a ko te taiepa anake hei wehe i ahau i a ratou; i whakapokea e ratou toku ingoa tapu ki a ratou mea whakarihariha i mahia nei e ratou; no reira pau ake ratou i ahau, i ahau e riri ana.
9 Now let them remove their faithlessness and the corpses of their kings from before me, and I will live in their midst forever.
Na me wehe atu e ratou o ratou moepuku me nga tinana o o ratou kingi, kia matara atu i ahau, a ka noho ahau ki waenganui i a ratou a ake ake.
10 Son of man, you yourself must tell the house of Israel about this house so they will be ashamed of their iniquities. They should think about this description.
Ko koe, e te tama a te tangata whakakitea e koe te whare ki te whare o Iharaira, kia whakama ai ratou ki o ratou he; me whanganga hoki e ratou te tauira.
11 For if they are ashamed of all that they have done, then reveal to them the design of the house, its details, its exits, its entrances, and all its designs, all its decrees and rules. Then write this down before their eyes so they will keep to all its design and all its rules, so as to obey them.
A, ki te whakama ratou ki nga mea katoa i mea ai ratou, whakakitea ki a ratou te ahua o te whare, tona whai hanga, ona putanga atu, ona tapokoranga ki roto, ona ahua katoa, ona ritenga katoa, me ona ahua katoa, me ona ture katoa, tuhituhia ano k i to ratou aroaro, kia mau ai i a ratou tona ahua katoa me ona ritenga katoa, kia mahia ai e ratou.
12 This is the regulation for the house: From the peak of the hill to all the surrounding border around it, it will be most holy. Behold! This is the regulation for the house.
Ko te ture tenei o te whare; ko nga taha katoa i runga i te tihi o te maunga, tapu rawa a tawhio noa. Nana, ko te ture tenei o te whare.
13 These will be the measurements of the altar in cubits—that cubit being a regular cubit and a handbreadth in length. So the gutter around the altar will be a cubit deep, and its width will also be a cubit. The border around its surrounding edge will be one span. This will be the base of the altar.
Ko nga roroa enei o te aata, ara ko nga whatianga: he whatianga me te whanui ringa kei roto i te whatianga; a raro he whatianga, ko te whanui he whatianga, ko te taha i te niao he whanganga ringa a tawhio noa: ko te kaupapa tenei o te aata.
14 From the gutter at the ground level up to the lower ledge of the altar is two cubits, and that ledge itself is one cubit in width. Then from the small ledge up to the large edge of the altar, it is four cubits, and the large edge is a cubit in width.
Na, ko te turanga i runga i te whenua, haere ake ki to raro papa, e rua whatianga; ko te whanui kia kotahi whatianga; ko to te papa i raro tae noa ki te papa nui, e wha whatianga; ko te whanui, kotahi whatianga.
15 The hearth on the altar for the burnt offerings is four cubits high, and there are four horns pointing upward on the hearth.
Na, ko to runga aata, e wha whatianga; i te takuahi o te aata whakarunga kia wha nga haona.
16 The hearth is twelve cubits in length and twelve cubits in width, a square.
Kia tekau ma rua whatianga te roa o te takuahi o te aata, kia tekau ma rua whatianga te whanui, he tapawha, e wha hoki nga taha.
17 Its border is fourteen cubits in length and fourteen cubits in width on each of its four sides, and its rim is a half cubit in width. The gutter is a cubit in width all around with its steps facing east.”
Na, ko te papa, kia tekau ma wha whatianga te roa, kia tekau ma wha ano te whanui o nga taha e wha: ko te niao i te taha hei te hawhe whatianga; ko te turanga, kia kotahi te whatianga a tawhio noa; kia anga ano te pikitanga ki te rawhiti.
18 Next he said to me, “Son of man, the Lord Yahweh says this: These are the regulations for the altar on the day they make it, for raising the burnt offering onto it, and for sprinkling blood on it.
I ki mai ano ia ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Ko nga tikanga tenei o te aata i te ra e hanga ai hei whakaekenga mo te tahunga tinana, hei tauhiuhi mo te toto.
19 You will give a bull from the cattle as a sin offering for the Levitical priests who are the descendants of Zadok, those who come near to me to serve me—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
Me hoatu e koe he puru, he kuao, hei whakahere hara ki nga tohunga, ki nga Riwaiti, ki nga uri o Haroko, e whakatata ana ki ahau minita ai, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
20 Then you will take some of its blood and place it on the altar's four horns and the four sides of its edge and on the surrounding rim; you will cleanse it and make atonement for it.
Me tango ano e koe tetahi wahi o ona toto, ka pani ki ona haona e wha, ki nga koki e wha o te papa, ki te taha a tawhio noa: na ka purea taua aata e koe, ka meinga kia ma.
21 Then take the bull for the sin offering and burn it in the appointed part of the temple area outside of the sanctuary.
Me tiki ano te puru, te whakahere hara, a mana e tahu ki te wahi o te whare i whakaritea i waho o te wahi tapu.
22 Then on the second day you will offer a male goat without blemish from the goats as a sin offering; the priests will cleanse the altar just as they cleansed it with the bull.
Na i te rua o nga ra me whakahere he koati toa, he mea kohakore, hei whakahere hara, a ka purea te aata, ka peratia me ta ratou purenga ki te kau.
23 When you finish its cleansing, offer an unblemished bull from the cattle and an unblemished ram from the flock.
Ka oti te pure e koe, me whakahere he kuao puru, he mea kohakore, me tetahi hipi toa o te kahui, hei te mea kohakore.
24 Offer them before Yahweh; the priests will throw salt onto them and raise them up as a burnt offering to Yahweh.
Me whakahere e koe ki te aroaro o Ihowa, mea maka ano e nga tohunga he tote ki runga, ka whakaeke ai hei tahunga tinana ki a Ihowa.
25 You must prepare a male goat as a sin offering daily for seven days, and the priests must also prepare an unblemished bull of the cattle and unblemished ram from the flock.
E whitu nga ra e mahia ai e koe he hipi hei whakahere hara i tenei ra, i tenei ra; me mahi ano e ratou he kuao puru me tetahi hipi toa o te kahui, he mea kohakore.
26 They must atone for the altar for seven days and purify it, and in this way they must consecrate it.
E whitu nga ra e tahia ai e ratou te poke o te aata, e purea ai; ka pena ta ratou whakatapu i te aata.
27 They must complete these days, and on the eighth day and onward it will come about that the priests will prepare your burnt offerings and your peace offerings on the altar, and I will accept you—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.”
A ka poto enei ra, na i te waru o nga ra, i o muri iho ano, ka mahia e nga tohunga a koutou tahunga tinana ki runga ki te aata, me a koutou whakahere mo te pai: a ka manako ahau ki a koutou, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
