Ezekyèl 44
1 Nonm lan mennen m' bò pòtay ki bay sou bò solèy leve a. Pòtay la te fèmen.
Then he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary which looketh toward the east; and it was shut.
2 Seyè a di m' konsa: -Pòtay sa a fèt pou toujou ret fèmen. Piga yo janm louvri l'. Pa janm kite pesonn pase la. Paske se la mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, mwen te pase. Se pou l' toujou ret fèmen.
Then said Yhwh unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because Yhwh, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut.
3 Tansèlman, wa a gen dwa vin chita la pou li manje pòsyon pa l' nan manje ofrann lan devan m'. L'a pase nan pòt ki nan gwo pyès nan bout koridò a pou l' antre. Se la l'a soti tou.
It is for the prince; the prince, he shall sit in it to eat bread before Yhwh; he shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate, and shall go out by the way of the same.
4 Apre sa, nonm lan fè m' soti nan pòtay nò a. Rive devan Tanp lan, mwen leve je m' gade, mwen wè Tanp Seyè a te klere nèt ak gwo limyè prezans Seyè a. Mwen lage kò m' atè sou fas.
Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of Yhwh filled the house of Yhwh: and I fell upon my face.
5 Epi Seyè a di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Pran tèt ou! Louvri je ou gade byen. Louvri zòrèy ou tande. Mwen pral ba ou lòd ak regleman pou Tanp mwen an. Gade byen ki moun ki gen dwa antre soti nan Tanp lan, ki moun ki pa gen dwa mete pye yo nan Tanp lan.
And Yhwh said unto me, Son of man, mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of Yhwh, and all the laws thereof; and mark well the entering in of the house, with every going forth of the sanctuary.
6 Pale ak bann moun tèt di pèp Izrayèl yo. Di yo, men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba yo. Mwen p'ap tolere ankò tout vye bagay derespektan yo t'ap plede fè yo.
And thou shalt say to the rebellious, even to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Yhwh; O ye house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations,
7 Yo derespekte Tanp mwen an, yo kite moun lòt nasyon ki pa pote mak kontra mwen an nan kò yo, ni ki pa soti pou fè volonte m', antre nan Tanp lan lè y'ap ofri grès ak san bèt yo touye pou mwen yo. Se konsa yo kase kontra mwen te pase ak yo a. Yo fè yon bann vye bagay derespektan ki pa fè m' plezi.
In that ye have brought into my sanctuary strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all your abominations.
8 Yo derefize pran reskonsablite fè sèvis pou mwen nan Tanp lan. Yo mete moun lòt nasyon pou fè sèvis pou yo nan Tanp lan.
And ye have not kept the charge of mine holy things: but ye have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.
9 Men sa mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, mwen di: Ankenn moun lòt nasyon ki pa pote mak kontra a nan kò yo, ni ki pa soti pou fè volonte m', pa gen dwa mete pye yo nan Tanp lan, pa menm lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan pèp Izrayèl la.
Thus saith the Lord Yhwh; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel.
10 Seyè a di m' ankò: Lè moun pèp Izrayèl yo te vire do ban mwen pou y' al sèvi zidòl yo, moun Levi yo te mete tèt yo ansanm ak pèp la. Se poutèt sa mwen pral pini yo pou sa yo fè a.
And the Levites that are gone away far from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray away from me after their idols; they shall even bear their iniquity.
11 Y'ap toujou sèvi m' nan Tanp lan. Se yo menm ki pral reskonsab veye pòtay Tanp lan, se yo ki pral fè tout kalite ti travay ki pou fèt nan Tanp lan. Se yo ki pral touye bèt pèp la va vin ofri pou boule nèt nan dife ak pou lòt kalite ofrann. Se yo ki pral la pou sèvi pèp la.
Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having charge at the gates of the house, and ministering to the house: they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister unto them.
12 Tansèlman, paske yo te asepte fè sèvis pou pèp la devan zidòl yo, paske, lè yo fè sa, yo pòte pèp la tonbe pi rèd nan fè peche, mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, mwen fè sèman, m'ap pini yo pou sa yo fè a.
Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I lifted up mine hand against them, saith the Lord Yhwh, and they shall bear their iniquity.
13 Yo pa gen dwa pwoche kote m' pou sèvi m' prèt ankò, ni yo pa gen dwa pwoche bò nenpòt bagay yo mete apa pou mwen, ni antre nan kote yo mete apa nèt pou mwen an. Men pinisyon m'ap ba yo pou tout vye bagay derespektan yo te fè a.
And they shall not come near unto me, to do the office of a priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, in the most holy place: but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.
14 M'ap ba yo lòt travay pou yo fè nan tanp lan. M'ap mete yo reskonsab tout kalite travay k'ap fèt nan Tanp lan.
But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.
15 Seyè sèl Mèt la di m' ankò: -Prèt ki fè pati branch fanmi Levi a men ki soti nan fanmi Zadòk la te toujou fè travay yo byen san melanj nan Tanp lan, lè tout rès pèp Izrayèl la menm te vire do ban mwen. Se poutèt sa, se yo menm ase ki ka pwoche vin fè sèvis pou mwen. Se yo menm ki gen dwa kanpe devan m' pou ofri m' grès ak san bèt yo touye pou mwen yo.
But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord Yhwh:
16 Se yo menm ase ki pou antre nan Tanp mwen an, ki pou sèvi devan lotèl mwen an, ki pou fè sèvis pou mwen nan Tanp lan.
They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge.
17 Lè y'a antre nan pòtay ti lakou anndan Tanp lan, y'a mete rad fèt ak twal fin blan. Lè y'ap sèvi nan ti lakou anndan an osinon nan Tanp lan, yo pa fèt pou yo gen anyen fèt ak lenn sou yo.
And it shall come to pass, that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.
18 Konsa, yo p'ap janm swe. Y'ap mare tèt yo ak gwo mouchwa fèt ak twal fin blan. Y'ap mete pantalon fèt ak twal fin blan san sentiwon.
They shall have linen bonnets upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with any thing that causeth sweat.
19 Anvan yo soti nan gwo lakou a, kote pèp la ye a, se pou yo wete rad ki te sou yo lè yo te desèvis nan tanp lan. Y'a kite yo nan pyès yo mete apa pou sa a. Y'a mete lòt rad òdinè sou yo pou rad seremoni yo pa fè malè tonbe sou pèp la.
And when they go forth into the utter court, even into the utter court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they ministered, and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on other garments; and they shall not sanctify the people with their garments.
20 Prèt yo pa gen dwa kale tèt yo, ni se pa pou yo kite cheve yo vin twò long. Se pou yo toujou taye cheve yo.
Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only poll their heads.
21 Prèt yo pa gen dwa bwè diven jou pou yo antre nan ti lakou anndan an.
Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter into the inner court.
22 Prèt yo pa gen dwa marye ak yon vèv osinon yon madanm divòse. Se pou yo marye ak yon jenn fi nan ras moun Izrayèl yo. Tansèlman, y'a gen dwa marye ak vèv yon prèt parèy yo.
Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away: but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that had a priest before.
23 Prèt yo va moutre pèp mwen an diferans ki genyen ant sa yo mete apa pou sèvis mwen ak sa yo pa mete apa pou sèvis mwen, ant sa ki nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou mwen ak sa ki pa nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou mwen.
And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
24 Lè yon moun gen kont ak yon lòt, se prèt yo ki va jije yo dapre sa ki nan lalwa mwen an. Se yo ki pou òganize tout fèt mwen yo dapre lòd ak regleman mwen bay. Jou repo m' yo, yo pa gen dwa fè ankenn travay.
And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; and they shall judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my sabbaths.
25 Prèt yo pa fèt pou pwoche bò kadav moun mouri pou sa pa mete yo nan kondisyon yo pa ka fè sèvis pou mwen. Tansèlman, yo gen dwa pwoche bò kadav papa yo, manman yo, pitit fi yo, pitit gason yo, frè yo osinon yon sè yo depi sè a pa marye.
And they shall come at no dead person to defile themselves: but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves.
26 Apre l'a fin fè sèvis pou mete l' nan kondisyon ankò pou sèvi m', se pou l' tann sèt jou.
And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him seven days.
27 Apre sa, jou l'a gen pou l' pran sèvis nan Tanp lan, l'a antre nan ti lakou anndan an, l'a fè ofrann pou mande Bondye padon pou peche l' yo. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, unto the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, saith the Lord Yhwh.
28 Prèt yo pa gen ankenn pòsyon tè ki rele yo pa yo. Se mwen menm ki tout yo. Yo p'ap gen anyen nan peyi mwen bay pèp Izrayèl la k'ap rele yo pa yo. Se sèvis y'ap fè pou mwen an ki tout yo.
And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I am their inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Israel: I am their possession.
29 Se yo ki va manje ofrann grenn jaden yo ak vyann bèt yo touye pou mande Bondye padon, ak vyann bèt yo touye pou repare sa pèp la fè ki mal. Tou sa y'a mete apa pou mwen, se pou yo la ye.
They shall eat the grain offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs.
30 Tou sa ki pi bon nan premye rekòt nou yo, tou sa n'a pran angajman pou ofri ban mwen, ak tout lòt ofrann n'a fè, se pou prèt yo y'a ye. Chak fwa n'ap kwit pen, se pou nou bay prèt yo premye pen an tankou ofrann, konsa benediksyon mwen va chita lakay nou.
And the first of all the firstfruits of all things, and every oblation of all, of every sort of your oblations, shall be the priest’s: ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest in thine house.
31 Prèt yo pa gen dwa manje ankenn bèt, kit se zwezo, kit se lòt bèt, ki mouri mò natirèl osinon bèt nan bwa devore.
The priests shall not eat of any thing that is dead of itself, or torn, whether it be fowl or beast.
