Ezekiel 43
1 Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east:
Wasengiyisa esangweni, isango elikhangele indlela yempumalanga.
2 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.
Khangela-ke, inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli yeza ivela ngendlela yempumalanga; lelizwi lakhe lalinjengomsindo wamanzi amanengi; lomhlaba wakhanya ngenkazimulo yakhe.
3 And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face.
Futhi kwakunjengesimo sombono engangiwubonile, njengombono engangiwubone lapho ngize ukuzachitha umuzi; lemibono yayinjengombono engangiwubone ngasemfuleni iKebari. Ngasengisithi mbo ngobuso bami.
4 And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.
Inkazimulo yeNkosi yasingena endlini ngendlela yesango elikhangele indlela yempumalanga.
5 So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.
UMoya wasengiphakamisa, wangingenisa egumeni elingaphakathi; khangela-ke, inkazimulo yeNkosi yagcwalisa indlu.
6 And I heard him speaking to me out of the house; and the man stood by me.
Ngasengimuzwa ekhuluma lami engasendlini; futhi umuntu wayemi eceleni kwami.
7 And he said to me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their harlotry, nor by the dead bodies of their kings in their high places.
Wasesithi kimi: Ndodana yomuntu, le yindawo yesihlalo sami sobukhosi, lendawo yengaphansi yenyawo zami, lapho engizahlala khona phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli kuze kube phakade; njalo indlu kaIsrayeli kayisayikungcolisa ibizo lami elingcwele, bona lamakhosi abo, ngobuwule babo langezidumbu zamakhosi abo endaweni zabo eziphakemeyo,
8 In their setting of their threshold by my thresholds, and their post by my posts, and the wall between me and them, they have even defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed: therefore I have consumed them in my anger.
ekumiseni kwabo umbundu wabo embundwini wami, lomgubazi wabo eceleni komgubazi wami, kube ngumduli nje phakathi kwami labo, futhi bangcolise ibizo lami elingcwele ngamanyala abo abawenzileyo, ngakho ngibaqedile olakeni lwami.
9 Now let them put away their harlotry, and the dead bodies of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.
Khathesi kabadedisele ubufebe babo lezidumbu zamakhosi abo khatshana lami; khona ngizahlala phakathi kwabo kuze kube phakade.
10 Thou son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern.
Wena, ndodana yomuntu, tshengisa indlu yakoIsrayeli le indlu, ukuze babe lenhloni ngenxa yeziphambeko zabo; njalo kabalinganise isibonelo.
11 And if they will be ashamed of all that they have done, show them the form of the house, and the fashion of it, and its exits, and its entrances, and all its forms, and all its ordinances, and all its forms, and all its laws: and write it in their sight, that they may keep its whole form, and all its ordinances, and do them.
Uba-ke belenhloni ngakho konke abakwenzileyo, bazise isimo sendlu, lokukhangeleka kwayo, lezindawo zayo zokuphuma, lezindawo zayo zokungena, lazo zonke izimo zayo, lazo zonke izimiso zayo, yebo zonke izimo zayo, layo yonke imilayo yayo; ukubhale phambi kwamehlo abo, ukuze bagcine isimo sayo sonke, lezimiso zayo zonke, bazenze.
12 This is the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain its whole limit all around shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.
Lo ngumlayo wendlu: Phezu kwengqonga yentaba wonke umngcele wayo inhlangothi zonke ozingelezeleyo uzakuba yingcwelengcwele. Khangela, lo ngumlayo wendlu.
13 And these are the measures of the altar after the cubits: The cubit is a cubit and an hand breadth; even the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border of it by its edge on every side shall be a span: and this shall be the higher place of the altar.
Futhi lezi yizilinganiso zelathi ngezingalo, ingalo iyingalo lobubanzi besandla; lenkaba ibe yingalo, lobubanzi bube yingalo, lomngcele walo emphethweni walo inhlangothi zonke ube yikwelulwa okukodwa kweminwe. Njalo le izakuba ngumhlane welathi.
14 And from the bottom upon the ground even to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the smaller ledge even to the greater ledge shall be four cubits, and the breadth one cubit.
Njalo kusukela kusisekelo emhlabathini kuze kube semngceleni ophansi kube zingalo ezimbili, lobubanzi bube yingalo eyodwa; futhi kusukela emngceleni omncane kusiya emngceleni omkhulu kube zingalo ezine, lobubanzi bube yingalo.
15 So the altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar and upward shall be four horns.
Njalo iziko lelathi libe zingalo ezine, njalo kusukela eziko lelathi kusiya phezulu kube lezimpondo ezine.
16 And the altar shall be twelve cubits long, twelve broad, square in its four sides.
Njalo iziko lelathi libe yizingalo ezilitshumi lambili ngobude, ezilitshumi lambili ngobubanzi, kulingana inhlangothi zozine ezinhlangothini zalo zozine.
17 And the ledge shall be fourteen cubits long and fourteen broad in its four sides; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and the bottom of it shall be a cubit about; and its stairs shall look toward the east.
Umngcele ube yizingalo ezilitshumi lane ngobude, lezilitshumi lane ngobubanzi, ezinhlangothini zozine zalo; lomphetho inhlangothi zonke zalo ube yingxenye yengalo, lenkaba yalo ibe yingalo inhlangothi zonke, lezinyathelo zalo zikhangele empumalanga.
18 And he said to me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt offerings on it, and to sprinkle blood on it.
Wasesithi kimi: Ndodana yomuntu, itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Lezi yizimiso zelathi, mhla bezalenza, ukuthi banikele umnikelo wokutshiswa phezu kwalo, lokuthi bafafaze igazi phezu kwalo.
19 And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that are of the seed of Zadok, who approach to me, to minister to me, saith the Lord GOD, a young bull for a sin offering.
Njalo uzanika kubapristi amaLevi abenzalo kaZadoki, abasondelayo kimi, itsho iNkosi uJehova, ukuze bangikhonze, ijongosi ithole lenkomo libe ngumnikelo wesono.
20 And thou shalt take of his blood, and put it on its four horns, and on the four corners of the ledge, and upon the border on every side: thus shalt thou cleanse and purge it.
Uthathe okwegazi layo, ulifake ezimpondweni zozine zalo, lasemagumbini omane omngcele, laphezu komphetho ozingelezeleyo. Ngokunjalo uzalihlambulula, ulenzele inhlawulo yokuthula.
21 Thou shalt take the bull also of the sin offering, and he shall burn it in the appointed place of the house, outside of the sanctuary.
Futhi uzathatha ijongosi lomnikelo wesono, alitshise endaweni emisiweyo yendlu ngaphandle kwendawo engcwele.
22 And on the second day thou shalt offer a kid of the goats without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bull.
Langosuku lwesibili uzasondeza izinyane lembuzi elingelasici libe ngumnikelo wesono; njalo bazahlambulula ilathi njengoba babelihlambulule ngejongosi.
23 When thou hast finished cleansing it, thou shalt offer a young bull without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.
Nxa usuqedile ukuhlambulula, uzasondeza ijongosi ithole lenkomo elingelasici, lenqama engelasici evela emhlanjini.
24 And thou shalt offer them before the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them for a burnt offering to the LORD.
Ukusondeze phambi kweNkosi; njalo abapristi bazathela itshwayi phezu kwakho, bakunikele kube ngumnikelo wokutshiswa eNkosini.
25 Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat for a sin offering: they shall also prepare a young bull, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish.
Insuku eziyisikhombisa uzalungisa insuku zonke imbuzi yomnikelo wesono; futhi bazalungisa ijongosi ithole lenkomo, lenqama evela emhlanjini, kungelasici.
26 Seven days shall they purge the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate themselves.
Insuku eziyisikhombisa bazakwenzela ilathi inhlawulo yokuthula, balihlambulule, balehlukanise.
27 And when these days are fulfilled, it shall be, that upon the eighth day, and so onward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings upon the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord GOD.
Nxa seziphelile lezonsuku, kuzakuthi ngosuku lwesificaminwembili kusiya phambili, abapristi benze iminikelo yenu yokutshiswa phezu kwelathi, leminikelo yenu yokuthula; njalo ngizalemukela, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
