Ezekiel 40
1 In the twenty-fifth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was struck, in the same day, the LORD’s hand was on me, and he brought me there.
Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano wa gũtahwo gwitũ, kĩambĩrĩria-inĩ kĩa mwaka ũcio, mũthenya wa ikũmi wa mweri ũcio, naguo nĩ mwaka wa ikũmi na ĩna kuuma rĩrĩa itũũra inene rĩatunyanirwo, mũthenya o ũcio-rĩ, guoko kwa Jehova kwarĩ igũrũ rĩakwa, nake akĩndwara itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene.
2 In the visions of God he brought me into Eretz-Israel, and set me down on a very high mountain, on which was something like the frame of a city to the south.
Ndĩ thĩinĩ wa cioneki cia Ngai nĩandwarire bũrũri wa Isiraeli, akĩnjiga kĩrĩma-igũrũ kĩraaya mũno, na mwena wakĩo wa gũthini kwarĩ na mĩako yoonekaga ĩtariĩ ta itũũra inene.
3 He brought me there; and, behold, there was a man whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze, with a line of flax in his hand and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.
Nake akĩndwara ho, na niĩ ngĩona mũndũ, na mũhianĩre wake watariĩ ta gĩcango; nake aarũngiĩ itoonyero-inĩ arĩ na rũrigi rwa gatani, na rũthanju rwa gũthima guoko-inĩ gwake.
4 The man said to me, “Son of man, see with your eyes, and hear with your ears, and set your heart on all that I will show you; for you have been brought here so that I may show them to you. Declare all that you see to the house of Israel.”
Nake mũndũ ũcio akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, ta rora na maitho maku, na ũigue na matũ maku, na ũrũmbũiye wega maũndũ mothe marĩa ngũkuonia, nĩgũkorwo nĩkĩo gĩtũmĩte wee ũrehwo gũkũ. Ĩra andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli maũndũ mothe marĩa ũkuona.”
5 Behold, there was a wall on the outside of the house all around, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed six cubits long, of a cubit and a hand width each. So he measured the thickness of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.
Ningĩ nĩndonire rũthingo rwathiũrũrũkĩirie hekarũ mĩena yothe. Rũthanju rwa gũthima rũrĩa rwarĩ guoko-inĩ kwa mũndũ ũcio rwarĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono ĩtandatũ. Nake nĩathimire rũthingo; wariĩ waruo warĩ wa mĩkono ĩtandatũ, na mĩkono ĩtandatũ kũraiha na igũrũ.
6 Then he came to the gate which looks towards the east, and went up its steps. He measured the threshold of the gate, one reed wide; and the other threshold, one reed wide.
Agĩcooka agĩthiĩ kĩhingo-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩangʼetheire mwena wa irathĩro. Akĩambata na ngathĩ ciakĩo, na agĩthima hingĩro ya kĩhingo; yarĩ ya mĩkono ĩtandatũ gũtoonya na thĩinĩ.
7 Every lodge was one reed long and one reed wide. Between the lodges was five cubits. The threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate towards the house was one reed.
Natuo tũnyũmba twa arangĩri twarĩ twa mĩkono ĩtandatũ kũraiha, na mĩkono ĩtandatũ kwarama, na itĩĩna rĩa kuuma kanyũmba kamwe nginya karĩa kangĩ rĩarĩ rĩa mĩkono ĩtano. Nayo hingĩro ya kĩhingo kĩu kĩariganĩtie na gĩthaku kĩrĩa kĩangʼetheire hekarũ, nakĩo kĩarĩ kĩa mĩkono ĩtandatũ gũtoonya na thĩinĩ.
8 He measured also the porch of the gate towards the house, one reed.
Ningĩ agĩthima gĩthaku kĩrĩa kĩangʼetheire hekarũ;
9 Then he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and its posts, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was towards the house.
nakĩo kĩarĩ kĩa mĩkono ĩnana gũtoonya na thĩinĩ. Gĩthaku kĩu kĩarĩ na itugĩ igĩrĩ, O gĩtugĩ kĩarĩ na wariĩ wa mĩkono ĩĩrĩ. Nakĩo gĩthaku kĩu kĩangʼetheire hekarũ.
10 The side rooms of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side. The three of them were of one measure. The posts had one measure on this side and on that side.
Thĩinĩ wa kĩhingo kĩa mwena wa irathĩro haarĩ na tũnyũmba tũtatũ twa arangĩri o mwena; na tuothe tũtatũ twarĩ na ithimo ciiganaine, naguo mwena wa na mbere wa thingo cia tũnyũmba twa arangĩri warĩ wa ithimo ciiganaine.
11 He measured the width of the opening of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits;
Ningĩ agĩthima wariĩ wa njĩra ĩyo ya itoonyero rĩu, nayo yarĩ ya mĩkono ikũmi, na ũraihu wayo warĩ wa mĩkono ikũmi na ĩtatũ.
12 and a border before the lodges, one cubit on this side, and a border, one cubit on that side; and the side rooms, six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.
Mwena wa na mbere wa o kanyũmba ka arangĩri haarĩ na rũthingo rwarĩ rwa mũkono ũmwe kũraiha na igũrũ, natuo tũnyũmba tũu twa arangĩri twarĩ twa mĩkono ĩtandatũ mĩena yothe ĩna.
13 He measured the gate from the roof of the one side room to the roof of the other, a width of twenty-five cubits, door against door.
Ningĩ agĩthima itoonyero rĩu arutĩtie kuuma mũthia wa na thuutha wa rũthingo rwa kanyũmba kamwe ka arangĩri nginya mũthia wa na thuutha wa kanyũmba karĩa kaangʼethanĩire nako; itĩĩna rĩu rĩarĩ rĩa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano kuuma mwanya ũmwe wa karũthingo nginya mwanya ũrĩa waringanĩte naguo.
14 He also made posts, sixty cubits; and the court reached to the posts, around the gate.
Ningĩ agĩthima mĩena ya na mbere ya thingo gũthiũrũrũka mĩena yeerĩ ya na thĩinĩ ya itoonyero, na yarĩ ya mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtandatũ. Gĩthimo kĩu gĩakinyĩte gĩthaku-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩangʼetheire nja ĩyo.
15 From the forefront of the gate at the entrance to the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were fifty cubits.
Itĩĩna rĩa kuuma itoonyero rĩa kĩhingo nginya mũthia ũrĩa ũngĩ wa gĩthaku kĩarĩo warĩ wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtano.
16 There were closed windows to the side rooms, and to their posts within the gate all around, and likewise to the arches. Windows were around inward. Palm trees were on each post.
Tũnyũmba tũu twa arangĩri hamwe na thingo icio ciarĩ thĩinĩ wa itoonyero rĩu nĩ gwatũrĩkĩtio mĩanya mĩceke karũthingo-inĩ ka igũrũ mĩena yothe, o ũndũ ũmwe na gĩthaku; tũmĩanya tũu tuothe twerekeire na thĩinĩ. Ũthiũ wa thingo icio nĩwagemetio na mĩkĩndũ.
17 Then he brought me into the outer court. Behold, there were rooms and a pavement made for the court all around. Thirty rooms were on the pavement.
Ningĩ akĩndwara nja ĩrĩa ya nyumĩrĩra. Ngĩona hau nĩ haarĩ na tũnyũmba, na nĩ haarĩtwo mahiga makarigiicĩria nja ĩyo yothe; nĩ haarĩ na tũnyũmba mĩrongo ĩtatũ twakĩtwo tũtwaranĩte na hau haarĩtwo mahiga.
18 The pavement was by the side of the gates, corresponding to the length of the gates, even the lower pavement.
Handũ hau haarĩtwo mahiga haarĩ mĩena-inĩ ya matoonyero macio, naguo wariĩ waho na ũraihu nĩciaiganaine; hau nĩho haarĩtwo mahiga mwena wa mũhuro.
19 Then he measured the width from the forefront of the lower gate to the forefront of the inner court outside, one hundred cubits, both on the east and on the north.
Ningĩ agĩthima itĩĩna rĩa kuuma mwena wa na thĩinĩ wa kĩhingo kĩa mũhuro nginya mwena wa na nja wa nja ya na thĩinĩ; yarĩ mĩkono igana mwena wa irathĩro, o ũndũ ũmwe na mwena wa gathigathini.
20 He measured the length and width of the gate of the outer court which faces towards the north.
Ningĩ agĩthima ũraihu na wariĩ wa kĩhingo kĩrĩa kĩerekeire mwena wa gathigathini, gĩa gũthiĩ nja ĩyo ya nyumĩrĩra.
21 The lodges of it were three on this side and three on that side. Its posts and its arches were the same as the measure of the first gate: its length was fifty cubits, and the width twenty-five cubits.
Tũnyũmba twakĩo twa arangĩri, tũtatũ o mwena, na thingo ciakĩo, o na gĩthaku gĩakĩo ciarĩ na ithimo ciaiganaine na cia itoonyero rĩu rĩa mbere. Kĩarĩ kĩa ũraihu wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtano, na wariĩ wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano.
22 Its windows, its arches, and its palm trees were the same as the measure of the gate which faces towards the east. They went up to it by seven steps. Its arches were before them.
Mĩanya yakĩo, na gĩthaku gĩakĩo na magemio ma mĩkĩndũ ciarĩ na ithimo o ta cia kĩhingo kĩrĩa kĩerekeire mwena wa irathĩro. Ngathĩ ya makinya mũgwanja yaambatĩte nginya ho, nakĩo gĩthaku gĩakĩo gĩkangʼethanĩra nayo.
23 There was a gate to the inner court facing the other gate, on the north and on the east. He measured one hundred cubits from gate to gate.
Nĩ haarĩ na kĩhingo gĩa gũtoonya nja ya na thĩinĩ, kũngʼethanĩra na kĩhingo gĩa gathigathini o ta ũrĩa kwarĩ na kĩhingo mwena wa irathĩro. Nake agĩthima itĩĩna rĩa kuuma kĩhingo kĩmwe nginya kĩrĩa kĩangʼethanĩire nakĩo; narĩo itĩĩna rĩu rĩarĩ rĩa mĩkono igana.
24 He led me towards the south; and behold, there was a gate towards the south. He measured its posts and its arches according to these measurements.
Ningĩ akĩndongoria na mwena wa gũthini, na niĩ ngĩona kĩhingo kĩerekeire mwena wa gũthini. Nake agĩthima itingĩ ciakĩo na gĩthaku gĩakĩo, nacio nĩciaiganainie ithimo na icio ingĩ.
25 There were windows in it and in its arches all around, like the other windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the width twenty-five cubits.
Itoonyero rĩu na gĩthaku kĩarĩo ciarĩ na tũmĩanya tũceke mĩena yothe, twatariĩ ta mĩanya ya ihingo icio ingĩ. Itoonyero rĩu rĩarĩ rĩa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtano kũraiha, na mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano kwarama.
26 There were seven steps to go up to it, and its arches were before them. It had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, on its posts.
Ningĩ ngathĩ ya makinya mũgwanja nĩyaambatĩte ĩgakinya kĩhingo-inĩ kĩu, nakĩo gĩthaku gĩakĩo kĩangʼethanĩire na nja ya hekarũ; thingo ciakĩo iria ciarĩ o mwena wa njĩra ĩyo nĩciagemetio na mĩkĩndũ.
27 There was a gate to the inner court towards the south. He measured one hundred cubits from gate to gate towards the south.
Hau nja ya na thĩinĩ o na ho nĩ haarĩ kĩhingo kĩerekeire mwena wa gũthini, nake agĩthima kuuma kĩhingo-inĩ kĩu nginya kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa nyumĩrĩra kĩa mwena wa gũthini; itĩĩna rĩu rĩarĩ rĩa mĩkono igana.
28 Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate. He measured the south gate according to these measurements;
Ningĩ akĩnginyia nja ya na thĩinĩ tũtoonyeire kĩhingo kĩa mwena wa gũthini, nake agĩthima kĩhingo kĩa mwena ũcio; nakĩo nĩkĩaiganainie ithimo na ihingo icio ingĩ.
29 with its lodges, its posts, and its arches, according to these measurements. There were windows in it and in its arches all around. It was fifty cubits long, and twenty-five cubits wide.
Tũnyũmba twakĩo twa arangĩri, na thingo ciakĩo, na gĩthaku gĩakĩo nĩciaiganainie ithimo na icio ingĩ. Itoonyero rĩu na gĩthaku kĩarĩo ciarĩ na mĩanya mĩena yothe. Itoonyero rĩu rĩarĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtano, na wariĩ wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano.
30 There were arches all around, twenty-five cubits long and five cubits wide.
Ithaku cia matoonyero marĩa maarĩ hakuhĩ na nja ya na thĩinĩ ciarĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano, na wariĩ wa mĩkono ĩtano.
31 Its arches were towards the outer court. Palm trees were on its posts. The ascent to it had eight steps.
Gĩthaku gĩakĩo kĩangʼetheire nja ĩyo ya nyumĩrĩra; nacio itingĩ ciakĩo nĩciagemetio na mĩkĩndũ, na ngathĩ ya makinya manana nĩyaambatĩte ĩgakinya ho.
32 He brought me into the inner court towards the east. He measured the gate according to these measurements;
Ningĩ akĩnginyia nja ya na thĩinĩ mwena wa irathĩro, nake agĩthima itoonyero rĩu; narĩo nĩrĩaiganainie ithimo na matoonyero macio mangĩ.
33 with its lodges, its posts, and its arches, according to these measurements. There were windows in it and in its arches all around. It was fifty cubits long, and twenty-five cubits wide.
Tũnyũmba twakĩo twa arangĩri, na thingo ciakĩo, na gĩthaku gĩakĩo nĩciaiganainie ithimo na icio ingĩ. Itoonyero rĩu na gĩthaku kĩarĩo ciarĩ na mĩanya mĩena yothe. Narĩo itoonyero rĩarĩ rĩa ũraihu wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtano, na wariĩ wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano.
34 Its arches were towards the outer court. Palm trees were on its posts on this side and on that side. The ascent to it had eight steps.
Gĩthaku gĩakĩo kĩangʼetheire nja ĩyo ya nyumĩrĩra; nacio itingĩ ciakĩo nĩciagemetio na mĩkĩndũ mĩena yeerĩ, na ngathĩ ya makinya manana yaambatĩte ĩgakinya ho.
35 He brought me to the north gate, and he measured it according to these measurements—
Ningĩ agĩcooka akĩnginyia kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa mwena wa gathigathini, nake agĩthima kĩhingo kĩu. Nakĩo nĩkĩaiganainie ithimo na ihingo icio ingĩ,

37 Its posts were towards the outer court. Palm trees were on its posts on this side and on that side. The ascent to it had eight steps.
Gĩthaku gĩakĩo kĩangʼetheire nja ĩyo ya nyumĩrĩra; nacio itingĩ icio ciakĩo nĩciagemetio na mĩkĩndũ mĩena yeerĩ, na ngathĩ ya makinya manana yaambatĩte ĩgakinya ho.
38 A room with its door was by the posts at the gates. They washed the burnt offering there.
Ningĩ hau gĩthaku-inĩ, o itoonyero-inĩ rĩa na thĩinĩ, nĩ haarĩ na kanyũmba kaarĩ na mũromo, na hau nĩho maruta ma njino maathambagĩrio.
39 In the porch of the gate were two tables on this side and two tables on that side, on which to kill the burnt offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering.
Hau gĩthaku-inĩ gĩa itoonyero nĩ haarĩ metha igĩrĩ o mwena, na igũrũ rĩacio nĩho haathĩnjagĩrwo nyamũ cia magongona ma njino, na magongona ma mehia, o na magongona ma mahĩtia.
40 On the one side outside, as one goes up to the entry of the gate towards the north, were two tables; and on the other side, which belonged to the porch of the gate, were two tables.
Mwena-inĩ wa rũthingo rwa na nja rwa gĩthaku kĩu gĩa itoonyero rĩu, hakuhĩ na ngathĩ ya kwambata itoonyero-inĩ rĩa kĩhingo kĩa mwena wa gathigathini nĩ haarĩ na metha igĩrĩ, na mwena ũcio ũngĩ wa ngathĩ naho nĩ haarĩ na metha ingĩ igĩrĩ.
41 Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate: eight tables, on which they killed the sacrifices.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio haarĩ na metha inya mwena ũmwe wa itoonyero, na inya mwena ũcio ũngĩ, ciothe ciarĩ metha inyanya, na igũrũ rĩacio nĩho haathĩnjagĩrwo nyamũ cia magongona.
42 There were four cut stone tables for the burnt offering, a cubit and a half long, a cubit and a half wide, and one cubit high. They laid the instruments with which they killed the burnt offering and the sacrifice on them.
Ningĩ haarĩ na metha inya cia mahiga maicũhie nĩ ũndũ wa maruta ma njino, o ĩmwe ũraihu wa mũkono ũmwe na nuthu, na wariĩ wa mũkono ũmwe na nuthu, na mũkono ũmwe kũraiha na igũrũ. Igũrũ rĩacio nĩho haigagĩrĩrwo indo cia wĩra wa gũthĩnja nyamũ cia maruta ma njino, na magongona marĩa mangĩ.
43 The hooks, a hand width long, were fastened within all around. The meat of the offering was on the tables.
Tũhocio twa njibe igĩrĩ, o kamwe karĩ na ũraihu wa wariĩ wa rũhĩ, twathecereirio rũthingo-inĩ mĩena yothe. Metha icio ciarĩ cia kũigĩrĩrwo nyama cia maruta macio.
44 Outside of the inner gate were rooms for the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate. They faced towards the south. One at the side of the east gate faced towards the north.
Hau nja ya kĩhingo gĩa thĩinĩ, kũu nja-inĩ ya na thĩinĩ, nĩ kwarĩ na tũnyũmba twĩrĩ, kamwe mwena wa kĩhingo gĩa gathigathini kerekeire mwena wa gũthini, na kangĩ mwena wa kĩhingo gĩa gũthini kerekeire mwena wa gathigathini.
45 He said to me, “This room, which faces towards the south, is for the priests who perform the duty of the house.
Nake akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Kanyũmba kau karorete mwena wa gũthini-rĩ, nĩ ka athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa maikaragia hekarũ,
46 The room which faces towards the north is for the priests who perform the duty of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, who from amongst the sons of Levi come near to the LORD to minister to him.”
nako kanyũmba kau karorete gathigathini-rĩ, nĩ ka athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa maikaragia kĩgongona. Aya nĩo ariũ a Zadoku, na no-o Alawii arĩa mangĩthengerera Jehova nĩguo matungatage marĩ mbere yake.”
47 He measured the court, one hundred cubits long and one hundred cubits wide, square. The altar was before the house.
Ningĩ agĩthima nja ĩyo: Mĩena yothe ĩna nĩyaiganaine, yarĩ na mĩkono igana kũraiha, na mĩkono igana kwarama. Nakĩo kĩgongona kĩarĩ hau mbere ya hekarũ.
48 Then he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side. The width of the gate was three cubits on this side and three cubits on that side.
Ningĩ akĩnginyia gĩthaku-inĩ kĩa hekarũ, na agĩthima itingĩ icio cia gĩthaku kĩu; o mwena ciarĩ na wariĩ wa mĩkono ĩtano. Wariĩ wa itoonyero rĩu warĩ na mĩkono ikũmi na ĩna, na thingo ciarĩ na wariĩ wa mĩkono ĩtatũ o mwena.
49 The length of the porch was twenty cubits and the width eleven cubits, even by the steps by which they went up to it. There were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
Gĩthaku kĩu kĩarĩ na wariĩ wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, na mĩkono ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ kuuma mbere nginya thuutha. Ningĩ hau nĩ haarĩ na ngathĩ cia kwambata ho, na nĩ haarĩ na itugĩ, o kĩmwe mwena ũmwe wa itingĩ icio.
