Ezekyèl 43
1 Nonm lan mennen m' bò pòtay ki bay sou solèy leve a.
Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looks toward the east.
2 Rive la, mwen wè gwo limyè prezans Bondye pèp Izrayèl la k'ap soti bò solèy leve a, k'ap vini. Li fè yon gwo bri tankou bri lanmè ki move. Gwo limyè sa a te klere toupatou sou latè.
Behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. His voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth was illuminated with his glory.
3 Vizyon sa a te parèy ak vizyon mwen te wè lè Bondye t'ap vini pou kraze lavil Jerizalèm lan, li te parèy ak vizyon mwen te wè bò larivyè Keba a. Mwen lage kò m' fas atè.
It was like the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city; and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.
4 Gwo limyè a pase nan pòtay solèy leve a, li antre nan Tanp lan.
The LORD’s glory came into the house by the way of the gate which faces toward the east.
5 Lespri Seyè a leve m' anlè, li fè m' antre nan ti lakou anndan an, kote mwen wè gwo limyè Seyè a te plen tout Tanp lan nèt.
The Spirit took me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the LORD’s glory filled the house.
6 Nonm lan menm te kanpe bò kote m'. Mwen tande Seyè a pale avè m', antan li anndan tanp lan, li di m' konsa:
I heard one speaking to me out of the house, and a man stood by me.
7 -Nonm o! Men fotèy kote m' chita a! Men kote m'ap poze pye m' yo. Se la mwen pral rete nan mitan moun pèp Izrayèl yo pou tout tan. Ni pèp Izrayèl la ni wa yo p'ap janm fè sèvis pou lòt bondye osinon sou tonm wa yo ankò pou yo derespekte non m'.
He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell among the children of Israel forever. The house of Israel will no more defile my holy name, neither they nor their kings, by their prostitution and by the dead bodies of their kings in their high places;
8 Wa yo te konn moute poto kay yo toupre Tanp mwen an, yo te mete papòt yo toupre papòt Tanp mwen an. Konsa se yon senp ti miray ki te separe yo avè m'. Men, yo lage kò yo nan fè yon bann vye bagay derespektan. Yo trennen non m' nan labou. Se poutèt sa mwen te move sou yo, mwen fini ak yo.
in their setting of their threshold by my threshold and their door post beside my door post. There was a wall between me and them; and they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed. Therefore I have consumed them in my anger.
9 Koulye a, se pou yo sispann fè sèvis pou lòt bondye, se pou yo wete kadav wa yo devan je m'! Si yo fè sa, m'a rete nan mitan yo pou tout tan.
Now let them put away their prostitution, and the dead bodies of their kings far from me. Then I will dwell among them forever.
10 Seyè a di m' ankò: -Nonm o! Fè moun pèp Izrayèl yo konnen ki jan Tanp lan pral ye. Fè yo kalkile plan Tanp lan byen. Fè yo wont tout vye bagay derespektan yo te konn fè yo.
“You, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.
11 Si yo wont tou sa yo te konn fè yo, w'a esplike yo plan Tanp lan: jan tout bagay ranje ladan l', kote pou yo pase antre, kote pou yo pase soti, fòm l'ap genyen, ansanm ak tout regleman ak lòd ki bay jan pou yo sèvi ladan l'. Kouche tou sa sou papye devan je yo pou yo ka wè jan tout bagay ranje, pou yo ka konfòme yo. Men lòd mwen bay pou Tanp lan:
If they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the form of the house, its fashion, its exits, its entrances, its structure, all its ordinances, all its forms, and all its laws; and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form of it, and all its ordinances, and do them.
12 Tout zòn ki bò Tanp lan sou tèt mòn lan, se yon kote apa nèt pou mwen. Men lòd mwen bay sou Tanp lan.
“This is the law of the house. On the top of the mountain the whole limit around it shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.
13 Men dimansyon lotèl la, dapre sistèm mezi nou sèvi pou mezire Tanp lan. Nan pye lotèl la, yon kannal vin pous pwofondè, vin pous lajè, ak yon rebò sou deyò dis pous wotè.
“These are the measurements of the altar by cubits (the cubit is a cubit and a hand width): the bottom shall be a cubit, and the width a cubit, and its border around its edge a span; and this shall be the base of the altar.
14 Lotèl la ap fèt an twa pòsyon. Premye pòsyon an chita sou pye a. L'a gen kat pye wotè. Dezyèm pòsyon an va pi gwo, l'a gen sèt pye wotè sou premye pòsyon an, men longè l' ak lajè l' ap yon ti jan pi piti pou l' ka kite yon rebò vin pous chak bò sou tèt premye pòsyon an. Konsa tou, longè ak lajè dènye pòsyon an va yon ti jan pi piti pase dezyèm lan pou l' ka kite yon rebò vin pous chak bò sou tèt dezyèm pòsyon an.
From the bottom on the ground to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the width one cubit; and from the lesser ledge to the greater ledge shall be four cubits, and the width a cubit.
15 Dènye pòsyon sa a va gen sèt pye wotè tou. Se sou li pou yo boule ofrann yo. Nan kat kwen yo te gen kat kòn, vin pous wotè.
The upper altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar hearth and upward there shall be four horns.
16 Anwo lotèl la te kare kare, vin pye chak bò.
The altar hearth shall be twelve cubits long by twelve wide, square in its four sides.
17 Pòsyon ki nan mitan an te kare kare tou, vennkat pye chak bò, ak yon ti rebò sou deyò, dis pous wotè. Ti kannal la te vin pous lajè. Macheskalye pou moute devan lotèl la te sou bò solèy leve.
The ledge shall be fourteen cubits long by fourteen wide in its four sides; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and its bottom shall be a cubit around; and its steps shall look toward the east.”
18 Seyè sèl Mèt la pale avè m', li di m' ankò: -Nonm o! Koute sa m'ap di, men sa mwen bay lòd pou yo fè: Lè n'a fin moute lotèl la, n'a mete l' apa pou mwen. N'a boule vyann bèt n'a ofri pou mwen yo sou li, n'a voye san bèt nou te touye yo sou tout lotèl la. Se konsa n'a mete lotèl la apa pou mwen.
He said to me, “Son of man, the Lord GOD says: ‘These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they make it, to offer burnt offerings on it, and to sprinkle blood on it.
19 Nan moun Levi yo se prèt ki soti nan fanmi Zadòk la ase ki pou parèt devan m' pou sèvi m'. Men sa mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, m' mande: N'a bay prèt sa yo yon jenn towo bèf pou yo ofri ban mwen pou mande padon pou peche yo.
You shall give to the Levitical priests who are of the offspring of Zadok, who are near to me, to minister to me,’ says the Lord GOD, ‘a young bull for a sin offering.
20 N'a pran ti gout nan san an, n'a vide l' sou tèt kat kòn yo nan kat kwen lotèl la, sou kat kwen pòsyon mitan lotèl la ak sou tout rebò a. Se konsa n'a wete tout peche ki te antre nan fè lotèl la, n'a mete l' apa nèt pou sèvis mwen.
You shall take of its blood and put it on its four horns, and on the four corners of the ledge, and on the border all around. You shall cleanse it and make atonement for it that way.
21 N'a pran towo bèf yo ofri ban mwen pou mande padon pou peche a, n'a boule l' yon lòt kote byen lwen andeyò lakou Tanp lan.
You shall also take the bull of the sin offering, and it shall be burned in the appointed place of the house, outside of the sanctuary.
22 Nan denmen, n'a pran yon bouk kabrit ki san ankenn enfimite, n'a ofri l' ban mwen pou mande m' padon pou peche nou yo. N'a mete lotèl la apa pou sèvis mwen ak san li, menm jan yo te fè l' lavèy ak san towo a.
“On the second day you shall offer a male goat without defect for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bull.
23 Lè n'a fin fè sa, n'a pran nan bann bèt nou yo yon jenn towo ak yon jenn belye mouton, tou de san ankenn enfimite.
When you have finished cleansing it, you shall offer a young bull without defect and a ram out of the flock without defect.
24 N'a mennen yo devan m'. Prèt yo va voye sèl sou yo. Lèfini, y'a boule yo nèt tankou yon ofrann pou mwen.
You shall bring them near to the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt on them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering to the LORD.
25 Chak jou, pandan sèt jou, n'a ofri yon kabrit, yon towo ak yon belye mouton ban mwen pou mande padon pou peche nou yo. Se pou tout bèt sa yo san ankenn enfimite. N'a pran yo nan tout bann bèt nou yo.
“Seven days you shall prepare every day a goat for a sin offering. They shall also prepare a young bull and a ram out of the flock, without defect.
26 Pandan sèt jou, prèt yo va fè seremoni pou mete lotèl la nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou mwen. Se konsa y'a pare l' pou li ka sèvi nan Tanp lan, y'a mete l' apa pou Bondye.
Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify it. So shall they consecrate it.
27 Apre sèt jou sa yo, prèt yo va konmanse ofri sou lotèl la lòt ofrann bèt pou yo boule nèt yo ansanm ak ofrann pèp la pou di Bondye mèsi. Se konsa m'a kontan ak nou. Se mwen menm Seyè sèl Mèt la ki di sa.
When they have accomplished the days, it shall be that on the eighth day and onward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings on the altar and your peace offerings. Then I will accept you,’ says the Lord GOD.”
