< Ezekiel 43 >

1 And he causeth me to go to the gate, the gate that is looking eastward.
Awo omusajja n’antwala ku mulyango ogwolekera Obuvanjuba,
2 And lo, the honour of the God of Israel hath come from the way of the east, and His voice [is] as the noise of many waters, and the earth hath shone from His honour.
ne ndaba ekitiibwa kya Katonda wa Isirayiri nga kiva Ebuvanjuba, n’eddoboozi lye lyali ng’okuwuuma okw’amazzi amangi, n’ensi n’emasamasa olw’ekitiibwa kye.
3 And according to the appearance [is] the appearance that I saw, as the appearance that I saw in my coming in to destroy the city, and the appearances [are] as the appearance that I saw at the river Chebar, and I fall on my face.
Okwolesebwa kwe nalaba kwali nga kuli kwe nalaba bwe najja okuzikiriza ekibuga, era ng’okwolesebwa kwe nalaba ku lubalama lw’omugga Kebali; ne nvuunama.
4 And the honour of Jehovah hath come in unto the house, the way of the gate whose face [is] eastward.
Awo ekitiibwa kya Mukama ne kiyingira mu yeekaalu nga kiyita mu luggi olwolekera Obuvanjuba,
5 And take me up doth the Spirit, and bringeth me in unto the inner court, and lo, the honour of Jehovah hath filled the house.
Omwoyo n’ansitula, n’andeeta mu luggya olw’omunda, n’ekitiibwa kya Mukama ne kijjula yeekaalu.
6 And I hear one speaking unto me from the house, and a man hath been standing near me,
Awo omusajja ng’ayimiridde okunninaana, ne mpulira omuntu ayogera nange ng’asinziira munda mu yeekaalu;
7 and He saith unto me: 'Son of man, the place of My throne, And the place of the soles of My feet, Where I dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel to the age, Defile no more do the house of Israel My holy name, They, and their kings, by their whoredom, And by the carcases of their kings — their high places.
n’aŋŋamba nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, kino kye kifo eky’entebe ey’obwakabaka bwange, era ekifo eky’ebigere byange mwe nnaabeeranga wakati mu bantu ba Isirayiri emirembe gyonna. Ennyumba ya Isirayiri tebaliddayo kuvvoola linnya lyange ettukuvu, bo newaakubadde bakabaka baabwe, nga basinza emirambo gya bakabaka baabwe mu bifo byabwe ebigulumivu.
8 In their putting their threshold with My threshold, And their door-post near My door-post, And the wall between Me and them, And they have defiled My holy name, By their abominations that they have done, And I consume them in Mine anger.
Bwe baliraanya omulyango gwabwe okumpi n’ogwange, era n’emifuubeeto gyabwe okumpi n’egyange, ekisenge ekyereere nga kye kyawula nze nabo, bavvoola erinnya lyange ettukuvu n’emizizo gyabwe. Kyennava mbazikiriza n’obusungu bwange.
9 Now do they put far off their whoredom, And the carcases of their kings — from Me, And I have dwelt in their midst to the age.
Kaakano baggyewo eby’obugwagwa byabwe, n’okusinza emirambo gya bakabaka baabwe, era babiteeke wala nange, nange naabeeranga wakati mu bo emirembe gyonna.
10 Thou, son of man, Shew the house of Israel the house, And they are ashamed of their iniquities, And they have measured the measurement.
“Omwana w’omuntu, abantu ba Isirayiri bannyonnyole endabika ya yeekaalu, bakwatibwe ensonyi olw’ebibi byabwe.
11 And since they have been ashamed of all that they have done, The form of the house, and its measurement, And its outlets, and its inlets, and all its forms, And all its statutes, even all its forms, And all its laws cause them to know, And write [it] before their eyes, And they observe all its forms, And all its statutes, and have done them.
Bwe balikwatirwa ensonyi olw’ebyo byonna bye baakola olibategeeza eyeekaalu bw’efaanana, okutegekebwa kwayo, awafulumirwa n’awayingirirwa, n’ekifaananyi kyayo yonna, era n’ebiragiro byamu n’amateeka gaamu. Obiwandiikire mu maaso gaabwe babeere beesigwa okukuuma ebiragiro byamu.
12 This [is] a law of the house: on the top of the mountain, all its border all round about [is] most holy; lo, this [is] a law of the house.
“Etteeka lya yeekaalu lye lino: Ekifo kyonna ekyetoolodde ku ntikko ey’olusozi kinaabeeranga kitukuvu nnyo. Era eryo lye tteeka erya yeekaalu.
13 'And these [are] measures of the altar by cubits: The cubit [is] a cubit and a handbreadth, and the centre [is] a cubit, and a cubit the breadth; and its border on its edge round about [is] one span, and this [is] the upper part of the altar.
“Bino bye bipimo by’ekyoto: Entobo yaakyo eriba okukka sentimita amakumi ataano mu munaana n’obugazi sentimita amakumi ataano mu munaana, n’omugo gwakyo ku kamwa kaakyo okwetooloola guliba gwa sentimita amakumi abiri mu bbiri. Obugulumivu bw’ekyoto buliba:
14 And from the centre of the ground unto the lower border [is] two cubits, and the breadth one cubit, and from the lesser border unto the greater border four cubits, and the breadth a cubit.
okuva ku ntobo wansi okutuuka ku mugo ogwa wansi, waliba obugulumivu mita emu ne desimoolo kkumi na mukaaga, obugazi sentimita amakumi ataano mu munaana, ate okuva ku mugo omutono okutuuka ku mugo omunene, obugulumivu mita bbiri ne desimoolo asatu mu bbiri, obugazi sentimita amakumi ataano mu munaana.
15 'And the altar [is] four cubits, and from the altar and upward [are] four horns.
Entobo ey’ekyoto eriba obugulumivu mita bbiri ne desimoolo asatu mu bbiri, n’okuva ku ntobo ey’ekyoto okwambuka waliba amayembe ana.
16 And the altar [is] twelve long by twelve broad, square in its four squares.
Entobo ey’ekyoto eriba ya nsonda nnya, nga zenkanankana, obuwanvu mita mukaaga ne desimoolo kyenda mu mukaaga, n’obugazi mita mukaaga ne desimoolo kyenda mu mukaaga.
17 And the border [is] fourteen long by fourteen broad, at its four squares, and the border round about it [is] half a cubit, and the centre to it [is] a cubit round about, and its steps are looking eastward.'
Omugo ogwa waggulu guliba gwa nsonda nnya ezenkanankana obuwanvu mita munaana ne desimoolo kkumi na bbiri n’obugazi mita munaana ne desimoolo kkumi na bbiri, n’omugo ogugwetooloola guliba obugazi sentimita amakumi abiri mu mwenda, n’entobo yaagwo eriba sentimita ataano mu munaana okugwetooloola. Amadaala ag’ekyoto galitunuulira Ebuvanjuba.”
18 And He saith unto me, 'Son of man, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: These [are] statutes of the altar in the day of its being made to cause burnt-offering to go up on it, and to sprinkle on it blood.
N’aŋŋamba nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti; Bino bye biriba ebiragiro bye munaagobereranga nga muwaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’okumansira omusaayi ku Kyoto, nga kiwedde okuzimbibwa.
19 And thou hast given unto the priests, the Levites, who [are] of the seed of Zadok — who are near unto Me, an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, to serve Me — a calf from the herd, for a sin-offering.
Muliwaayo ente ennume ento ng’ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi eri bakabona Abaleevi ab’ennyumba ya Zadooki, abampeereza bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
20 And thou hast taken of its blood, and hast put it on its four horns, and on the four corners of its border, and on the border round about, and hast cleansed it, and purified it.
Oliddira omusaayi ogumu okuva mu nte eyo n’oguteeka ku mayembe ana ag’ekyoto, ne ku nsonda ennya ez’omugo ogwa waggulu ne ku mugo ogwa kamwa kaakyo okwetooloola, ne mutukuza ekyoto era ne mu kitangirira.
21 And thou hast taken the bullock of the sin-offering, and hast burnt it in the appointed place of the house at the outside of the sanctuary.
Muliddira ente ennume ey’ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi, ne mugyokera mu kifo ekyalondebwa ekya yeekaalu ebweru w’Awatukuvu.
22 And on the second day thou dost bring near a kid of the goats, a perfect one, for a sin-offering, and they have cleansed the altar, as they cleansed [it] for the bullock.
“Ku lunaku olwokubiri muliwaayo embuzi ennume eteriiko kamogo okuba ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi, n’ekyoto kiritukuzibwa mu ngeri y’emu nga bwe kyatukuzibwa n’ente ennume.
23 In thy finishing cleansing, thou dost bring near a calf, a son of the herd, a perfect one, and a ram out of the flock, a perfect one.
Bwe mulimala okukitukuza, muliwaayo akalume k’ente akato, n’endiga ennume okuva mu kisibo nga teriiko kamogo.
24 And thou hast brought them near before Jehovah, and the priests have cast upon them salt, and have caused them to go up, a burnt-offering to Jehovah.
Mulizireeta mu maaso ga Mukama, bakabona ne bamansira omunnyo ku nnyama yaazo, ne baziwaayo ng’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa eri Mukama.
25 Seven days thou dost prepare a goat for a sin-offering daily, and a bullock, a son of the herd, and a ram out of the flock, perfect ones, do they prepare.
“Mulimala ennaku musanvu nga muwayo embuzi ennume emu buli lunaku ng’ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi. Era muliwaayo n’ente ennume n’endiga ennume, byombi nga tebiriiko kamogo.
26 Seven days they purify the altar, and have cleansed it, and filled their hand.
Balimala ennaku musanvu nga batangirira ekyoto era nga bakitukuza; bwe batyo ne bakiwaayo eri Katonda.
27 And the days are completed, and it hath come to pass on the eighth day, and henceforth, the priests prepare on the altar your burnt-offerings and your peace-offerings, and I have accepted you — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'
Oluvannyuma lw’ennaku ezo, okutandika n’olunaku olw’omunaana, bakabona baliwaayo ebiweebwayo byammwe ebyokebwa, n’ebiweebwayo byammwe olw’emirembe ku kyoto. Kale ndibasembeza, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.”
