Ezekieli 43
1 Ningĩ mũndũ ũcio akĩnginyia kĩhingo-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩangʼetheire mwena wa irathĩro,
The man took me back to the east gate.
2 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.
There I saw the glory of Israel's God coming from the east. His voice sounded like a thundering waterfall, and the earth blazed bright with his glory.
3 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.
The vision I saw was just like the vision I'd seen when he came to destroy the city of Jerusalem and like the visions I'd seen beside the River Kebar. I fell facedown on the ground.
4 Naguo riiri wa Jehova ũgĩtoonya hekarũ ũgereire kĩhingo kĩrĩa kĩerekeire mwena wa irathĩro.
The glory of the Lord entered the Temple through the east gate.
5 Ningĩ Roho akĩnjoya na igũrũ akĩndwara nja ĩyo ya na thĩinĩ, naguo riiri wa Jehova ũkĩiyũra kũu hekarũ.
Then the Spirit picked me up and took me into the inner courtyard, and the glory of the Lord filled the Temple.
6 Mũndũ ũcio o arũgamĩte hau hakuhĩ na niĩ-rĩ, ngĩigua mũndũ akĩnjarĩria kuuma thĩinĩ wa hekarũ.
I heard someone speaking to me from inside the Temple while the man standing beside me.
7 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.
He told me, “Son of man, this is where I have my throne. It's my home where I will live among the Israelites forever. The people of Israel and their kings won't ever again disgrace me and my holiness by their acts of prostitution and by their honoring their dead kings in their pagan high places.
8 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.
When they built their homes right next to mine—their threshold beside my threshold and their doorposts beside my doorposts, with only a wall separating us—they disgraced me and my holiness by the disgusting sins they committed. That's why I destroyed them in my anger.
9 Na rĩrĩ, ta nĩmatigane na ũmaraya wao wa kũhooya mĩhianano ĩtarĩ muoyo ya athamaki ao, na niĩ nĩngũtũũra gatagatĩ-inĩ kao nginya tene.
Now if they get rid of their prostitution and their pagan honoring of their dead kings, and I will live with them forever.
10 “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, taarĩria ũhoro wa hekarũ ĩyo kũrĩ andũ a Isiraeli, nĩguo maconoke nĩ ũndũ wa mehia mao. Reke maroranie mũcoro ũcio wayo,
Son of man, tell the people of Israel about the Temple and they'll be ashamed of their sins. Have them carefully consider its plan,
11 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.
and if they're ashamed of everything they've done, then explain to them the Temple's design, its layout, exits, and entrances—the complete plan—as well as all its regulations, specifications, and laws. Write them down as they watch, so that they can remember its complete plan and follow all its regulations.
12 “Ũyũ nĩguo watho wa hekarũ: Kũrĩa guothe kũrigiicĩirie kĩrĩma gĩkĩ igũrũ gũgũikara kũrĩ gũtheru mũno. Ũcio nĩguo watho wa hekarũ.
This is the Temple law: the whole area around the Temple on the mountain top is very holy. Pay attention: this is the Temple law.
13 “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.
These are the measurements of the altar in cubits (a cubit and the width of a hand): The gutter is to be one cubit deep and one cubit wide, with a rim one hand span wide along its edge. The back of the altar
14 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.
measured from the gutter on the ground to the lower ledge is to be two cubits. The ledge will measure one cubit wide. The distance from the smaller ledge to the larger ledge is to be four cubits, and the ledge one cubit wide.
15 Narĩo riiko rĩa kĩgongona-rĩ, nĩ mĩkono ĩna kũraiha na igũrũ, nacio hĩa inya irorete na igũrũ ikoimĩrĩra kuuma hau riiko-inĩ.
The altar hearth is to be four cubits high, with four horns pointing upwards from it.
16 Narĩo riiko rĩu rĩa kĩgongona rĩiganaine mĩena yothe ĩna, rĩrĩ na ũraihu wa mĩkono ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ, na wariĩ wa mĩkono ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ.
The altar hearth shall be square, its four sides each measuring twelve cubits.
17 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.”
The ledge is also to be square, measuring fourteen cubits by fourteen cubits, with a half-cubit rim and a one-cubit gutter all around it. The altar steps are to face the east.”
18 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:
Then he told me: “Son of man, this is what the Lord God says: These are the regulations regarding the altar once it's built, so that it can be used to sacrifice burnt offerings and to sprinkle blood on it:
19 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.
You shall give a young bull as a sin offering to the Leviticus priests from the family of Zadok, who come and minister before me, declares the Lord God.
20 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.
Take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar, on the four corners of the ledge, and all the way round the rim. This is how you shall purify the altar and set it right.
21 Nĩũkooya ndegwa ĩyo ya kũrutwo iruta rĩa mehia, ũmĩcinĩre handũ harĩa hathuurĩtwo hekarũ-inĩ kũu nja ya handũ-harĩa-haamũre.
Then remove the bull for the sin offering and burn it in the designated place of the Temple area outside the sanctuary.
22 “Mũthenya wa keerĩ nĩũkaruta thenge ĩtarĩ na kaũũgũ, ĩtuĩke ya kũrutwo iruta rĩa mehia, nakĩo kĩgongona gĩtherio o ta ũrĩa gĩatheretio na ndegwa.
On the second day you are to bring as male goat without defects as a sin offering, and the altar shall be purified as it was purified with the bull.
23 Warĩkia gũgĩtheria, nĩũkaruta ndegwa ĩtarĩ ngũrũ, na ndũrũme kuuma rũũru-inĩ, cierĩ ikorwo itarĩ na kaũũgũ.
After you've finished the purifying process, you are to present a young bull and a ram, both free from defects.
24 Nĩũgaciruta igongona hau mbere ya Jehova, nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩmagaciminjaminjĩria cumbĩ, rĩtuĩke igongona rĩa njino rĩrutĩirwo Jehova.
You are to offer them to the Lord. The priests shall sprinkle salt on them and sacrifice them to the Lord as a burnt offering.
25 “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.
For seven days you are to supply a male goat daily for a sin offering. You are also to supply a young bull and a ram, they are both to have no defects.
26 Ihinda rĩa mĩthenya ĩyo mũgwanja, nĩmakahoroheria kĩgongona na magĩtherie; ũguo nĩguo magaakĩamũra.
For seven days the priests are to set the altar right and purify it. This is how they will dedicate it.
27 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.”
Once these days are over, then from the eighth day the priests are to present the burnt offerings and peace offerings of your people on the altar. Then I will accept all of you, declares the Lord God.”
