< Ezekiel 43 >

1 Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looks toward the east.
Ningĩ mũndũ ũcio akĩnginyia kĩhingo-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩangʼetheire mwena wa irathĩro,
2 Behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. His voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth was illuminated with his glory.
na niĩ ngĩona riiri wa Ngai wa Isiraeli ũgĩũka uumĩte mwena wa irathĩro. Mũgambo wake watariĩ ta mũrurumo wa maaĩ maingĩ magĩtherera, naguo bũrũri ũgacangarara nĩ riiri wake.
3 It was like 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 on my face.
Kĩoneki kĩu ndonire gĩatariĩ ta kĩoneki kĩrĩa ndoonete rĩrĩa ookĩte kwananga itũũra rĩrĩa inene, na ningĩ gĩatariĩ ta cioneki iria ndoonete hau Rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Kebari; na niĩ ngĩĩgũithia, ngĩturumithia ũthiũ thĩ.
4 The LORD’s glory came into the house by the way of the gate which faces toward the east.
Naguo riiri wa Jehova ũgĩtoonya hekarũ ũgereire kĩhingo kĩrĩa kĩerekeire mwena wa irathĩro.
5 The Spirit took me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the LORD’s glory filled the house.
Ningĩ Roho akĩnjoya na igũrũ akĩndwara nja ĩyo ya na thĩinĩ, naguo riiri wa Jehova ũkĩiyũra kũu hekarũ.
6 I heard one speaking to me out of the house, and a man stood by me.
Mũndũ ũcio o arũgamĩte hau hakuhĩ na niĩ-rĩ, ngĩigua mũndũ akĩnjarĩria kuuma thĩinĩ wa hekarũ.
7 He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell among the children of Israel forever. The house of Israel will no more defile my holy name, neither they nor their kings, by their prostitution and by the dead bodies of their kings in their high places;
Akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, haha nĩho handũ ha gĩtĩ gĩakwa gĩa ũthamaki, o na nĩho handũ ha gũkinyithia makinya makwa. Haha nĩho ngũtũũra ndĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ a Isiraeli nginya tene. Nyũmba ya Isiraeli ndĩrĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ ĩgaacooka gũthaahia rĩĩtwa rĩakwa itheru, o ene o na kana athamaki ao marĩthaahie na ũndũ wa ũmaraya wao na kũhooya mĩhianano ĩtarĩ muoyo ya athamaki ao kũndũ kwao kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru.
8 in their setting of their threshold by my threshold and their door post beside my door post. There was a wall between me and them; and they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed. Therefore I have consumed them in my anger.
Rĩrĩa meekĩrire hingĩro ciao hau hingĩro-inĩ ciakwa, na itugĩ cia mĩrango yao magĩciĩkĩra itugĩ-inĩ cia mĩrango yakwa, na no rũthingo rwarĩ gatagatĩ gakwa na o-rĩ, nĩmathaahirie rĩĩtwa rĩakwa itheru na mĩtugo ĩyo yao ĩrĩ magigi. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩmaniina ndĩ na marakara.
9 Now let them put away their prostitution, and the dead bodies of their kings far from me. Then I will dwell among them forever.
Na rĩrĩ, ta nĩmatigane na ũmaraya wao wa kũhooya mĩhianano ĩtarĩ muoyo ya athamaki ao, na niĩ nĩngũtũũra gatagatĩ-inĩ kao nginya tene.
10 “You, 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.
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, taarĩria ũhoro wa hekarũ ĩyo kũrĩ andũ a Isiraeli, nĩguo maconoke nĩ ũndũ wa mehia mao. Reke maroranie mũcoro ũcio wayo,
11 If they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the form of the house, its fashion, its exits, its entrances, its structure, all its ordinances, all its forms, and all its laws; and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form of it, and all its ordinances, and do them.
na angĩkorwo nĩmegũconoka nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa wothe mekĩte-rĩ, mamenyithie mũhianĩre wa hekarũ ĩyo, ũmamenyithie mũthondekere wayo, na nyumĩro ciayo, na matoonyero mayo, ningĩ ũmoonie mũhianĩre wayo wothe, na mĩtugo yayo yothe ya kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na mawatho mothe. Andĩka maũndũ maya mothe makĩonaga, nĩgeetha matĩĩe mũhianĩre wayo, na mahingie mĩtugo yayo yothe ya kũrũmĩrĩrwo.
12 “This is the law of the house. On the top of the mountain the whole limit around it shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.
“Ũyũ nĩguo watho wa hekarũ: Kũrĩa guothe kũrigiicĩirie kĩrĩma gĩkĩ igũrũ gũgũikara kũrĩ gũtheru mũno. Ũcio nĩguo watho wa hekarũ.
13 “These are the measurements of the altar by cubits (the cubit is a cubit and a hand width): the bottom shall be a cubit, and the width a cubit, and its border around its edge a span; and this shall be the base of the altar.
“Ici nĩcio ithimo cia kĩgongona, ithimĩtwo na mĩkono ĩrĩa mĩraihu, mũkono ũrĩa wa ũraihu wa mũkono ũmwe na wariĩ wa rũhĩ: Mũberethi wakĩo ũrĩ na ũriku wa mũkono ũmwe, na wariĩ wa mũkono ũmwe, naguo mũgũkũ ũrĩa ũkũrigiicĩirie nĩ wa irata rĩmwe mũthia-inĩ. Kĩu nĩkĩo kĩrũgamo gĩa kĩgongona.
14 From the bottom on the ground to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the width one cubit; and from the lesser ledge to the greater ledge shall be four cubits, and the width a cubit.
Kuuma mũberethi ũrĩa ũrĩ gĩtina-inĩ nginya mũthia-inĩ wa mũhuro kĩrĩ na mĩkono ĩĩrĩ kũraiha na igũrũ, na wariĩ wa mũkono ũmwe, na kuuma mũthia-inĩ ũrĩa mũnini nginya mũthia-inĩ ũrĩa mũnenanene, kĩrĩ na mĩkono ĩna kũraiha na igũrũ, na wariĩ wa mũkono ũmwe.
15 The upper altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar hearth and upward there shall be four horns.
Narĩo riiko rĩa kĩgongona-rĩ, nĩ mĩkono ĩna kũraiha na igũrũ, nacio hĩa inya irorete na igũrũ ikoimĩrĩra kuuma hau riiko-inĩ.
16 The altar hearth shall be twelve cubits long by twelve wide, square in its four sides.

17 The ledge shall be fourteen cubits long by fourteen wide in its four sides; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and its bottom shall be a cubit around; and its steps shall look toward the east.”
Mũthia ũrĩa ũrĩ na igũrũ o naguo nĩũiganaine mĩena yothe, na ũrĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono ikũmi na ĩna, na wariĩ wa mĩkono ikũmi na ĩna, naguo mũgũkũ ũrĩa ũũthiũrũrũkĩirie nĩ wa nuthu ya mũkono, ningĩ ũkarigiicĩrio nĩ mũberethi wa mũkono ũmwe. Ngathĩ cia kĩgongona kĩu ingʼetheire mwena wa irathĩro.”
18 He said to me, “Son of man, the Lord GOD says: ‘These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they make it, to offer burnt offerings on it, and to sprinkle blood on it.
Nake akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Maya nĩmo magaatuĩka maũndũ ma kũrũmĩrĩrwo gũkĩrutwo magongona ma njino, na ma kũminjaminjĩria thakame kĩgongona-inĩ rĩrĩa gĩgaakwo:
19 You shall give to the Levitical priests who are of the offspring of Zadok, who are near to me, to minister to me,’ says the Lord GOD, ‘a young bull for a sin offering.
Nĩũkaneana ndegwa ĩtarĩ ngũrũ ĩtuĩke ya kũrutwo iruta rĩa mehia, ũmĩneane kũrĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai, arĩa Alawii, a nyũmba ya Zadoku, arĩa manguhagĩrĩria makĩndungatĩra, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
20 You shall take of its blood and put it on its four horns, and on the four corners of the ledge, and on the border all around. You shall cleanse it and make atonement for it that way.
Nĩũkooya thakame ĩmwe ya yo ũmĩhake hĩa-inĩ icio inya cia kĩgongona, na mĩthia-inĩ ĩyo ĩna ya metha ĩyo ĩrĩ igũrũ, na ũthiũrũrũkĩrie mũgũkũ ũcio, nĩguo ũtherie kĩgongona na ũkĩhoroherie.
21 You shall also take the bull of the sin offering, and it shall be burned in the appointed place of the house, outside of the sanctuary.
Nĩũkooya ndegwa ĩyo ya kũrutwo iruta rĩa mehia, ũmĩcinĩre handũ harĩa hathuurĩtwo hekarũ-inĩ kũu nja ya handũ-harĩa-haamũre.
22 “On the second day you shall offer a male goat without defect for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bull.
“Mũthenya wa keerĩ nĩũkaruta thenge ĩtarĩ na kaũũgũ, ĩtuĩke ya kũrutwo iruta rĩa mehia, nakĩo kĩgongona gĩtherio o ta ũrĩa gĩatheretio na ndegwa.
23 When you have finished cleansing it, you shall offer a young bull without defect and a ram out of the flock without defect.
Warĩkia gũgĩtheria, nĩũkaruta ndegwa ĩtarĩ ngũrũ, na ndũrũme kuuma rũũru-inĩ, cierĩ ikorwo itarĩ na kaũũgũ.
24 You shall bring them near to the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt on them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering to the LORD.
Nĩũgaciruta igongona hau mbere ya Jehova, nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩmagaciminjaminjĩria cumbĩ, rĩtuĩke igongona rĩa njino rĩrutĩirwo Jehova.
25 “Seven days you shall prepare every day a goat for a sin offering. They shall also prepare a young bull and a ram out of the flock, without defect.
“Ihinda rĩa mĩthenya mũgwanja nĩũkarutaga thenge o mũthenya ya kũrutwo iruta rĩa mehia; na ningĩ nĩũkaruta ndegwa ĩtarĩ ngũrũ, na ndũrũme kuuma rũũru-inĩ, cierĩ ikorwo itarĩ na kaũũgũ.
26 Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify it. So shall they consecrate it.
Ihinda rĩa mĩthenya ĩyo mũgwanja, nĩmakahoroheria kĩgongona na magĩtherie; ũguo nĩguo magaakĩamũra.
27 When they have accomplished the days, it shall be that on the eighth day and onward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings on the altar and your peace offerings. Then I will accept you,’ says the Lord GOD.”
Mĩthenya ĩyo yarĩkia gũthira, kuuma mũthenya wa ĩnana gũthiĩ na mbere, athĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩo makaaheana maruta manyu ma njino, na maruta ma ũiguano, hau igũrũ rĩa kĩgongona. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩngamwĩtĩkĩra, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.”
