Ezekiel 40
1 In the twenty and fifth year of our removal, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in this self-same day hath a hand of Jehovah been upon me, and He bringeth me in thither;
Kumayambiriro a chaka cha 25, cha ukapolo wathu, tsiku la khumi lamwezi, patapita zaka khumi ndi zinayi mzinda wa Yerusalemu utawonongedwa, pa tsiku lomwelo dzanja la Yehova linali pa ine ndipo Iye anapita nane ku Yerusalemu.
2 in visions of God He hath brought me in unto the land of Israel, and causeth me to rest on a very high mountain, and upon it [is] as the frame of a city on the south.
Mʼmasomphenyawo Yehova ananditenga ndi kupita nane ku dziko la Israeli ndipo anandiyika pa phiri lalitali kwambiri, moti ndinaona ngati mzinda.
3 And He bringeth me in thither, and lo, a man, his appearance as the appearance of brass, and a thread of flax in his hand, and a measuring-reed, and he is standing at the gate,
Atandifikitsa kumeneko ndinaona munthu wonyezimira ngati mkuwa. Iye anali atayima pa chipata ndipo mʼdzanja lake munali chingwe cha nsalu yabafuta ndi ndodo yoyezera.
4 and the man speaketh unto me: 'Son of man, see with thine eyes, And with thine ears hear, And set thy heart to all that I am shewing thee, For, in order to shew [it] thee, Thou hast been brought in hither, Declare all that thou art seeing to the house of Israel.'
Munthuyo anandiwuza kuti, “Iwe mwana wa munthu, penyetsetsa ndipo umvetse bwinobwino. Uyikepo mtima wako pa zonse zimene ndikukuonetsa pakuti anakubweretsa kuno kuti uwone zimenezi. Tsono ukawawuze Aisraeli zonse zimene uzione.”
5 And lo, a wall on the outside of the house all round about, and in the hand of the man a measuring-reed, six cubits by a cubit and a handbreadth, and he measureth the breadth of the building one reed, and the height one reed.
Ine ndinaona khoma litazungulira mbali zonse za Nyumba ya Mulungu. Mʼdzanja la munthuyo munali bango lopimira limene kutalika kwake kunali kwa mamita atatu. Atayeza chipupacho anapeza kuti kuchindikira kwake kunali mamita atatu, ndiponso kutalika kwake kunalinso mamita atatu.
6 And he cometh in unto the gate whose front [is] eastward, and he goeth up by its steps, and he measureth the threshold of the gate one reed broad, even the one threshold one reed broad,
Anapita ku chipata chakummawa. Anakwera pa makwerero a nyumbayo, nayeza chiwundo choyamba cha chipatacho; kutalika kwake kunali mamita atatu.
7 and the little chamber one reed long and one reed broad, and between the little chambers five cubits, and the threshold of the gate, from the side of the porch of the gate from within, one reed.
Kudutsa chiwundo choyambachi, panali zipinda za alonda zisanu ndi chimodzi, zitatu kudzanja lamanja, zitatu kudzanja lamanzere. Chilichonse chinali cha mamita atatu mulitali mwake, chimodzimodzinso mulifupi mwake. Mipata ya pakati pa zipindazo inali ya mamita awiri ndi theka. Ndipo chiwundo cha pa chipata pafupi ndi khonde lapachipata, chinali mamita atatu.
8 And he measureth the porch of the gate from within one reed,
Ndipo iye anayeza khonde la chipata ndipo chinali cha mamita atatu.
9 and he measureth the porch of the gate eight cubits, and its posts two cubits, and the porch of the gates from within,
Anayeza khonde ndipo linali mamita anayi. Mphuthu zake zinali mita imodzi kuchindikira kwake. Khonde lamʼkati lapachipata linali kumapeto kwenikweni pafupi ndi Nyumba ya Mulungu.
10 and the little chambers of the gate eastward, three on this side, and three on that side; one measure [is] to them three, and one measure [is] to the posts, on this side and on that side.
Mʼkati mwa chipata chakummawa munali zipinda za alonda zitatu mbali iliyonse. Zitatu zonsezo zinali zofanana, ndipo khonde la pakati pa zipindazo linali lofanana.
11 And he measureth the breadth of the opening of the gate ten cubits, the length of the gate thirteen cubits;
Kenaka anayeza chipata cholowera; mulifupi mwake munali mamita asanu ndipo mulitali mwake munali mamita asanu ndi limodzi ndi theka.
12 and a border before the little chambers, one cubit, and one cubit [is] the border on this side, and the little chamber [is] six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.
Kutsogolo kwa chipinda chilichonse cha alonda kunali khoma lalifupi lotalika theka la mita, ndipo mbali iliyonse ya zipinda za alondazo inali yotalika mamita atatu.
13 And he measureth the gate from the roof of the [one] little chamber to the roof of another; the breadth twenty and five cubits, opening over-against opening.
Ndipo anayeza kutalika kwa mulifupi mwa chipata cholowera, kuchokera ku khoma lakumbuyo la chipinda chimodzi mpaka ku khoma la chipinda china; kuchokera ku chitseko mpaka ku chitseko china. Kutalika kwake kunali mamita khumi ndi awiri ndi theka.
14 And he maketh the posts of sixty cubits, even unto the post of the court, the gate all round about;
Anayezanso khonde lamʼkati ndipo linali la mamita makumi atatu. Ndipo mozungulira khondelo munali bwalo. Muyesowu sukuphatikiza khonde loyangʼanana ndi bwalo.
15 and by the front of the gate of the entrance, by the front of the porch of the inner gate, fifty cubits;
Kuchokera pa chipata cholowera mpaka ku mapeto a khonde la chipata, kutalika kwake kunali mamita 27.
16 and narrow windows [are] unto the little chambers, and unto their posts at the inside of the gate all round about — and so to the arches — and windows all round about [are] at the inside, and at the post [are] palm-trees.
Makoma a zipinda ndiponso makoma a pakati pa zipindazo anali ndi mazenera. Khonde lamʼkati linalinso ndi mazenera mʼkati mwake. Pa makoma onsewo anajambulapo zithunzi za kanjedza.
17 And he bringeth me in unto the outer court, and lo, chambers and a pavement made for the court all round about — thirty chambers on the pavement —
Kenaka munthuyo anandilowetsa mʼbwalo lakunja, ndipo ndinaona zipinda zina ndi msewu wa miyala wozungulira bwalo lonse. Zipinda zonse zinali makumi atatu ndipo zinkayangʼana msewuwo.
18 and the pavement unto the side of the gates over-against the length of the gates [is] the lower pavement;
Utali wa mulifupi mwa msewuwo unkayenda mamita 27 kufanana ndi utali wa chipata cholowera. Uwu unali msewu wa mʼmunsi.
19 and he measureth the breadth from before the lower gate, to the front of the inner court, on the outside, a hundred cubits, eastward and northward.
Tsono, anayeza kutalika kwa bwalo kuyambira chipata cholowera choyamba mpaka polowera pa chipata chakunja cha bwalo la mʼkati. Kutalika kwake kunali mamita makumi asanu.
20 As to the gate of the outer court whose front [is] northward, he hath measured its length and its breadth;
Kenaka munthuyo anayeza mulitali ndi mulifupi mwa chipata chimene chimayangʼana kumpoto, chotulukira kunja.
21 and its little chambers, three on this side, and three on that side, and its posts and its arches have been according to the measure of the first gate, fifty cubits its length, and the breadth five and twenty by the cubit;
Zipinda za alonda zimene zinalipo zitatu mbali iliyonse, makoma ake ndi khonde zinali ndi muyeso wofanana ndi wachipata choyamba chija. Kutalika kwake kunali mamita 27 ndipo mulifupi mwake munali mamita 13.
22 and its windows, and its arches, and its palm-trees [are] according to the measure of the gate whose face [is] eastward, and by seven steps they go up on it, and its arches [are] before them.
Mipata yake, khonde lake ndi zojambula za kanjedza zinali ndi miyeso yofanana ndi za chipata chakummawa. Chipatacho chinali ndi makwerero asanu ndi awiri ndipo kotsirizira kwa chipatacho kunali khonde.
23 And the gate of the inner court [is] over-against the gate at the north and at the east; and he measureth from gate unto gate, a hundred cubits.
Panalinso chipata cholowera ku bwalo lamʼkati chofanana ndi chakummawa chimene chimayangʼanana ndi chipata chakumpoto, chofanana ndi cha mbali ya kummawa. Anachiyeza kuchokera ku chipata china mpaka ku chipata china. Kutalika kwake kunali mamita makumi asanu.
24 And he causeth me to go southward, and lo, a gate southward, and he hath measured its posts and its arches according to these measures;
Ndipo munthuyo anapita nane ku mbali yakummwera ndipo ndinaona chipata chakummwera. Iye anayeza mphuthu zake ndi khonde ndipo zinali ndi miyeso yofanana ndi ya zina zija.
25 and windows [are] to it and to its arches all round about, like these windows, fifty cubits the length, and the breadth five and twenty cubits;
Mʼzipinda za chipata cholowera chimenechi ndi mʼkhonde lake munali mipata yofanana ndi ya mʼzipinda zina. Mulitali mwake munali mamita 27, mulifupi mwake munali mamita 13.
26 and seven steps [are] its ascent, and its arches [are] before them, and palm-trees [are] to it, one on this side, and one on that side, at its posts;
Chipatacho chinali ndi makwerero asanu ndi awiri ndi khonde kotsirizira kwake. Chipindacho chinali ndi zojambula za kanjedza ku mbali zonse za makoma.
27 and the gate of the inner court [is] southward, and he measureth from gate unto gate southward, a hundred cubits.
Bwalo lamʼkati linalinso ndi chipata kummwera. Munthuyo analiyeza kuchokera ku chipata chimenechi mpaka ku chipata chakunja. Kutalika kwake kunali mamita makumi asanu.
28 And he bringeth me in unto the inner court by the south gate, and he measureth the south gate according to these measures;
Ndipo munthu uja anandilowetsa mʼbwalo lamʼkati kudzera ku chipata chakummwera. Anayeza chipatachi ndipo chinali chofanana ndi zinzake zija.
29 and its little chambers, and its posts, and its arches [are] according to these measures, and windows [are] to it and to its arches all round about; fifty cubits the length, and the breadth twenty and five cubits.
Zipinda zake za alonda, makoma ake ndi khonde lake zinali zofanana ndi zina zija. Chipata cholowera ndi khonde lake zinali ndi mipata mʼmbali zonse. Mulitali mwake munali mamita 27 ndipo mulifupi munali mamita 13.
30 As to the arches all round about, the length [is] five and twenty cubits, and the breadth five cubits;
(Khonde lililonse la makonde atatu a zipata zolowera bwalo lamʼkati aja linali la mamita ozungulira mʼbwalo lamʼkati anali mamita 13 mulitali mwake, mamita awiri ndi theka mulifupi mwake).
31 and its arches [are] unto the outer court, and palm-trees [are] unto its posts, and eight steps [are] its ascent.
Khonde lake linayangʼanana ndi bwalo lakunja. Pa mphuthu pake anajambulapo zithunzi za kanjedza mbali zonse ziwiri, ndipo linali ndi makwerero asanu ndi atatu.
32 And he bringeth me in unto the inner court eastward, and he measureth the gate according to these measures;
Kenaka munthuyo anapita nane ku bwalo la mʼkati mbali ya kummawa, ndipo anayeza chipata cholowera; chinali chofanana ndi zinzake zina zija.
33 and its little chambers, and its posts, and its arches [are] according to these measures: and windows [are] to it and to its arches all round about, the length fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits;
Zipinda zake za alonda, makoma ake ndi khonde lake zinali zofanana ndi zina zija. Chipata cholowera ndi khonde lake chinali ndi mipata mʼmbali zonse. Mulitali mwake munali mamita 27 ndipo mulifupi mwake munali mamita 13.
34 and its arches [are] toward the outer court, and palm-trees [are] toward its posts, on this side and on that side, and eight steps [are] its ascent.
Khonde lake linayangʼanana ndi bwalo lakunja. Pa mphuthu pake anajambulapo zithunzi za kanjedza mbali zonse ziwiri, ndipo linali ndi makwerero asanu ndi atatu.
35 And he bringeth me in unto the north gate, and hath measured according to these measures;
Kenaka anapita nane ku chipata chakumpoto ndipo anachiyeza. Chinali chofanana ndi zina zija.
36 its little chambers, its posts, and its arches; and windows [are] to it all round about: the length fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits;
Zipinda zake za alonda, makoma ake ndiponso khonde lake zinali zofanana ndi zina zija, ndipo chinalinso ndi mipata mbali zonse ziwiri. Mulitali mwake munali mamita 27 ndipo mulifupi mwake munali mamita 13.
37 and its posts [are] to the outer court, and palm-trees [are] unto its posts, on this side and on that side, and eight steps [are] its ascent.
Khonde lake limayangʼanana ndi bwalo lakunja. Pa mphuthu zake anajambulapo zithunzi za kanjedza mbali zonse ziwiri, ndipo linali ndi makwerero asanu ndi atatu.
38 And the chamber and its opening [is] by the posts of the gates, there they purge the burnt-offering.
Panali chipinda ndipo khomo lake linali pafupi ndi khonde la chipata cholowera chamʼkati. Mʼchipinda mʼmenemo ankatsukira nyama ya nsembe yopsereza.
39 And in the porch of the gate [are] two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slaughter on them the burnt-offering, and the sin-offering, and the guilt-offering;
Pa khonde la chipatacho panali matebulo awiri, lina kuno lina uko. Ankapherapo nsembe zopsereza, nsembe zopepesera machimo ndi nsembe zopepesera kupalamula.
40 and at the side without, at the going up to the opening of the north gate, [are] two tables; and at the other side that [is] at the porch of the gate, [are] two tables;
Panali matebulo anayi, awiri a iwo anali kunja kwa khoma la khonde pafupi ndi makwerero olowera pa chipata chakumpoto ndi awiri enawo anali mbali inayo ya makwerero.
41 four tables [are] on this side, and four tables on that side, at the side of the gate, eight tables on which they slaughter.
Choncho ku mbali imodzi ya chipata kunali matebulo anayi, ndiponso ku mbali inayo kunali matebulo anayi. Onse pamodzi anali matebulo asanu ndi atatu. Pa matebulopo ankapherapo nyama za nsembe zopsereza.
42 And the four tables for burnt-offering [are] of hewn stone: the length one cubit and a half, and the breadth one cubit and a half, and the height one cubit: on them they place the instruments with which they slaughter the burnt-offering and the sacrifice.
Matebulo anayiwa anali a miyala yosema. Lililonse mulitali mwake linali la masentimita 75, mulifupi mwake linali la masentimita 75, ndipo msinkhu wake unali wa masentimita makumi asanu. Pa matebulopo amayikapo zipangizo zophera nsembe zopsereza ndi nsembe zina.
43 And the boundaries [are] one handbreadth, prepared within all round about: and on the tables [is] the flesh of the offering.
Choncho pa matebulopo ankayikapo nyama za nsembe zopsereza. Mbedza zitatu zazitali ngati chikhatho amazikoleka pa makoma pozungulira ponse.
44 And on the outside of the inner gate [are] chambers of the singers, in the inner court, that [are] at the side of the north gate, and their fronts [are] southward, one at the side of the east gate [hath] the front northward.
Munthu uja anapita nane mʼkati mwa bwalo ndipo ndinaona zipinda ziwiri. Chimodzi chinali pafupi ndi chipata chakumpoto kuyangʼana kummwera ndi china chinali pafupi ndi chipata chakummwera kuyangʼana kumpoto.
45 And he speaketh unto me: 'This chamber, whose front [is] southward, [is] for priests keeping charge of the house;
Munthuyo anandiwuza kuti, “Chipinda chimene chikuyangʼana kummwera ndi cha ansembe amene amayangʼanira Nyumba ya Mulungu,
46 and the chamber, whose front [is] northward, [is] for priests keeping charge of the altar: they [are] sons of Zadok, who are drawing near of the sons of Levi unto Jehovah, to serve Him.'
ndipo chipinda chimene chikuyangʼana kumpoto ndi cha ansembe amene amayangʼanira guwa lansembe. Amenewa ndiwo ana a Zadoki, ndipo ndi okhawo mwa zidzukulu za Levi amene ayenera kutumikira pamaso pa Yehova mʼNyumba ya Mulungu.”
47 And he measureth the court: the length a hundred cubits, and the breadth a hundred cubits, square, and the altar [is] before the house.
Kenaka munthuyo anayeza bwalo; linali lofanana mbali zonse kutalika kwake, mulitali mwake munali mamita 53, ndipo mulifupi mwake munali mamita 53. Ndipo guwa lansembe linali kutsogolo kwa Nyumba ya Mulungu.
48 And he bringeth me in unto the porch of the house, and he measureth the post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side, and the breadth of the gate, three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side;
Munthuyo anapita nane pa khonde la Nyumba ya Mulunguyo. Anayeza mphuthu za khondelo ndipo zinali mamita awiri ndi theka mbali zonse. Mulifupi mwa chipatacho munali mamita asanu ndi awiri ndipo mulifupi mwa makoma ake munali mamita awiri mbali zonse.
49 the length of the porch twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; and by the steps whereby they go up unto it: and pillars [are] at the posts, one on this side, and one on that side.
Mulitali mwa khonde munali mamita khumi, mulifupi mwake munali mamita asanu ndi limodzi kuchokera kutsogolo mpaka kumbuyo. Panali makwerero khumi, ndipo mbali zonse kunali nsanamira.
