< Ezekiel 42 >

1 Then he brought me out into the outer court, the way towards the north. Then he brought me into the room that was opposite the separate place, and which was opposite the building towards the north.
Ningĩ mũndũ ũcio akĩndongoria, akĩndwara mwena wa gathigathini o nginya nja ĩyo ya nyumĩrĩra, akĩnginyia tũnyũmba-inĩ tũrĩa twangʼetheire nja ya hekarũ na tũkangʼethera rũthingo rwa na nja rwa mwena wa gathigathini.
2 Facing the length of one hundred cubits was the north door, and the width was fifty cubits.
Nyũmba ĩrĩa mũrango wayo werekeire mwena wa gathigathini yarĩ ya ũraihu wa mĩkono igana na wariĩ wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtano.
3 Opposite the twenty cubits which belonged to the inner court, and opposite the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery against gallery in the three storeys.
Gĩcigo kĩrĩa kĩarĩ kĩa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ kuuma nja ya na thĩinĩ, na gĩcigo kĩrĩa kĩangʼetheire harĩa haarĩtwo mahiga nja ya nyumĩrĩra-rĩ, nĩ kwarĩ na ithaku ciakĩtwo ngoroba ithatũ, na o gĩthaku kĩangʼetheire kĩrĩa kĩngĩ.
4 Before the rooms was a walk of ten cubits’ width inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors were towards the north.
Hau mbere ya tũnyũmba tũu nĩ haarĩ na gacĩra ga thĩinĩ karĩ na wariĩ wa mĩkono ikũmi, na ũraihu wa mĩkono igana. Mĩrango yatuo yekĩrĩtwo mwena wa gathigathini.
5 Now the upper rooms were shorter; for the galleries took away from these more than from the lower and the middle in the building.
Na rĩrĩ, tũnyũmba tũu twarĩ igũrũ twarĩ tũkundakundeeru, nĩ ũndũ ithaku nĩcioete handũ hanene gũkĩra tũnyũmba tũrĩa twakĩtwo ngoroba ĩyo yarĩ mũhuro na ya gatagatĩ.
6 For they were in three storeys, and they didn’t have pillars as the pillars of the courts. Therefore the uppermost was set back more than the lowest and the middle from the ground.
Tũnyũmba twa ngoroba ya gatatũ tũtiekĩrĩtwo itugĩ ta iria ciekĩrĩtwo nja; nĩ ũndũ ũcio tũnyũmba tũu tũgakĩnyiiha thĩ gũkĩra twa ngoroba ĩrĩa yarĩ thĩ, na ya gatagatĩ.
7 The wall that was outside by the side of the rooms, towards the outer court before the rooms, was fifty cubits long.
Nĩ haarĩ na rũthingo rwa mwena wa na nja rwathiĩte rũigananĩirie na tũnyũmba tũu na kũu nja ya nyumĩrĩra; rwatambũrũkĩte mbere ya tũnyũmba tũu mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtano.
8 For the length of the rooms that were in the outer court was fifty cubits. Behold, those facing the temple were one hundred cubits.
Mũhari wa tũnyũmba twa mwena ũrĩa wariganĩtie na nja ya nyumĩrĩra warĩ wa ũraihu wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtano, naguo mũhari ũrĩa wakuhĩrĩirie handũ-harĩa-hatheru warĩ wa ũraihu wa mĩkono igana.
9 From under these rooms was the entry on the east side, as one goes into them from the outer court.
Tũnyũmba tũrĩa twarĩ mũhuro mwena wa irathĩro nĩ twarĩ na itoonyero mũndũ agĩtoonya kuo oimĩte nja ya nyumĩrĩra.
10 In the thickness of the wall of the court towards the east, before the separate place, and before the building, there were rooms.
Ningĩ mwena wa gũthini, gũtwarana na mwena ũrĩa mũraihu wa rũthingo rũu rwa nja ya nyumĩrĩra, kũnyiitana na mwena wa nja ya hekarũ, na kũngʼethera rũthingo rwa nja, nĩ haarĩ na tũnyũmba
11 The way before them was like the appearance of the rooms which were towards the north. Their length and width were the same. All their exits had the same arrangement and doors.
twarĩ na gacĩra mbere yatuo. Tũnyũmba tũu twahaanaga o ta tũrĩa twarĩ mwena wa gathigathini; twarĩ na ũraihu na wariĩ waiganaine, nacio nyumĩrĩra ciatuo nĩciaringaine na ikaiganania ithimo. Namo matoonyero ma mwena wa gathigathini
12 Like the doors of the rooms that were towards the south was a door at the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall towards the east, as one enters into them.
nĩmahaanaine na matoonyero ma tũnyũmba twa mwena wa gũthini. Ningĩ nĩ haarĩ na itoonyero kĩambĩrĩria-inĩ gĩa gacĩra karĩa gaatwaranĩte na rũthingo rũu rwerekeire mwena wa irathĩro, na nĩko mũndũ aageraga agĩtoonya tũnyũmba tũu.
13 Then he said to me, “The north rooms and the south rooms, which are opposite the separate place, are the holy rooms, where the priests who are near to the LORD shall eat the most holy things. There they shall lay the most holy things, with the meal offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering; for the place is holy.
Agĩcooka akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Tũnyũmba tũu tũrĩ mwena wa gathigathini na tũu tũrĩ mwena wa gũthini, tũu tũngʼetheire nja ya hekarũ, nĩtuo twa athĩnjĩri-Ngai, na nĩkuo athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa megũkuhĩrĩria Jehova makarĩĩagĩra indo cia maruta marĩa matheru mũno. Kũu nĩkuo makaigaga indo cia maruta iria theru mũno, nacio nĩ maruta ma ngano, o na maruta ma mehia, na maruta ma mahĩtia, nĩgũkorwo handũ hau nĩ hatheru.
14 When the priests enter in, then they shall not go out of the holy place into the outer court until they lay their garments in which they minister there; for they are holy. Then they shall put on other garments, and shall approach that which is for the people.”
Athĩnjĩri-Ngai rĩrĩa maatoonya handũ hau haamũre-rĩ, matingĩcooka kuuma nja ya mwena wa nyumĩrĩra, nginya marute nguo icio cia ũtungata, nĩ ũndũ nĩ nyamũre. No nginya mehumbe nguo ingĩ matanakuhĩrĩria kũrĩa andũ maikaraga.”
15 Now when he had finished measuring the inner house, he brought me out by the way of the gate which faces towards the east, and measured it all around.
Rĩrĩa aarĩkirie gũthima kĩrĩa kĩarĩ mwena wa na thĩinĩ wa hekarũ, akĩnyumia na nja tũgereire kĩhingo kĩa mwena wa irathĩro, agĩthima mũigana wa handũ hau mĩena yothe:
16 He measured on the east side with the measuring reed five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed all around.
Nĩathimire mwena wa irathĩro na rũthanju rwa gũthima; mũigana waho warĩ mĩkono magana matano.
17 He measured on the north side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed all around.
Ningĩ agĩthima mwena wa gathigathini; mũigana waho warĩ mĩkono magana matano ũthimĩtwo na rũthanju rũu rwa gũthima.
18 He measured on the south side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
O na agĩthima mwena wa gũthini; mũigana waho warĩ mĩkono magana matano ũthimĩtwo na rũthanju rũu rwa gũthima.
19 He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
Ningĩ agĩcooka agĩthima mwena wa ithũĩro; mũigana waho warĩ mĩkono magana matano ũthimĩtwo na rũthanju rũu rwa gũthima.
20 He measured it on the four sides. It had a wall around it, the length five hundred cubits, and the width five hundred cubits, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.
Ũguo nĩguo aathimire handũ hau mĩena ĩyo yothe ĩna. Handũ hau haarigiicĩirio na rũthingo, naruo rwarĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono magana matano, na wariĩ wa mĩkono magana matano, rwa kũhakania handũ harĩa hatheru na harĩa hatarĩ haamũre.
