Ezekyèl 45
1 Lè n'a separe peyi a pou nou bay chak branch fanmi pa yo, se pou nou kite yon pòsyon n'a mete apa nèt pou Seyè a. Pòsyon tè sa a va gen douz kilomèt edmi longè sou dis kilomèt lajè. Tout zòn lan va rete apa nèt pou Seyè a.
“‘When the land of Israel is divided [among the twelve tribes], you must present to me, Yahweh, one part of the land to be a sacred district. It will be (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (6.7 miles/10.6 km.) wide. That entire area will be (holy/set apart for me).
2 Sou pòsyon tè sa a va gen yon anplasman kare kare pou Tanp lan. L'a gen witsankarant (840) pye chak bò, ak yon espas katrevenkat pye lajè k'ap rete vid san anyen sou li toutotou anplasman an.
Part of that area, (875 feet/265 meters) on each side, will be for the temple area. An additional strip of ground, (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) wide, will be left empty all around the temple area.
3 N'a separe pòsyon tè Seyè a an de moso menm gwosè, chak moso va gen douz kilomèt edmi longè sou senk kilomèt lajè. Se nan premye mwatye a n'a chwazi anplasman pou bati Tanp lan, kay yo mete apa nèt pou Seyè a.
Inside that sacred district, measure a section (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (3.5 miles/5.3 km.) wide.
4 Se pòsyon sa a n'a kite apa nèt pou Seyè a. Se li ki va pou prèt yo k'ap sèvi kote ki apa pou Bondye a epi k'ap fè sèvis pou Seyè a nan Tanp lan. Se sou li y'a bati kay yo. Se la y'a chwazi anplasman pou Tanp lan.
That section will be the sacred portion of the land for the priests who work in the temple and who come near to me to serve me. It will be a place for their houses as well as being a holy place for the temple.
5 Lòt mwatye a ki gen douz kilomèt edmi longè sou senk kilomèt lajè tou va rete pou moun Levi yo k'ap travay nan Tanp lan. Se la y'a bati kay pou yo rete.
An area (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (3.5 miles/5.3 km.) wide will be for the descendants of Levi who work in the temple. That area will belong to them, and they will be permitted to build cities there to live in.
6 Tou kole ak pòsyon tè Bondye a, n'a wete yon lòt pòsyon ki va gen douz kilomèt edmi longè, de kilomèt edmi lajè. Se la n'a bay pou bati kay kote nenpòt moun nan pèp Izrayèl la ka rete.
Alongside that sacred area will be a section of land that is (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (1.7 miles/2.65 km.) wide. It will be for a city where anyone in Israel [MTY] will be permitted to live.
7 Y'a wete yon pòsyon tè pou wa a tou. L'ap an de moso, yonn sou bò solèy kouche adwat pòsyon tè Seyè a ak pòsyon pou lavil la, ale nan direksyon lanmè ki sèvi fwontyè sou bò solèy kouche a, yon lòt sou bò solèy leve agoch pòsyon tè Seyè a ak pòsyon pou lavil la, ale nan direksyon fwontyè ki sou bò solèy leve a. Antou, l'ap menm gwosè ak pòsyon tè yo bay chak branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la.
The king will have two sections of land; one will be on the western side of the sacred district and other will be on the eastern side of the sacred district. The one on the western side will extend west to the Mediterranean Sea. The one on the eastern side will extend east to the eastern end of the country. The eastern and western borders of the king’s land will be next to the areas allotted to the tribes.
8 Se pòsyon tè sa a y'a bay wa a nan peyi Izrayèl la pou rele l' pa l'. Konsa, li p'ap bezwen peze pèp mwen an ankò. L'a kite rès peyi a pou branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la.
That land will be the land in Israel that belongs to the king. So, [because the kings will have their own land], they will no longer need to oppress my people and steal [land] from them. They will assign the remaining parts of the land to the people, giving a part to each tribe.
9 Seyè sèl Mèt la pale ankò, li di konsa: -Nou menm, chèf peyi Izrayèl la, nou fè kont peche nou. Sispann maltrete moun, sispann pran sa ki pa pou nou. Fè sa ki dwat, pa fè lenjistis. Pa mete pèp la deyò sou tè ki pou li a. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di nou sa.
This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: You kings of Israel must stop acting violently and oppressing the people! You must do what is fair and right [DOU]. Stop taking land from the people!
10 Se pou tout moun sèvi ak bon pwa, ak bon mezi san madou.
And you must use accurate scales, and accurate containers for measuring things.
11 Mezi efa ki sèvi pou grenn yo fèt pou gen menm valè ak mezi bat ki sèvi pou likid yo. Gwo mezi a se omè a. Sa ban nou yon omè egal dis efa, egal dis bat.
The baskets for measuring dry things and containers for measuring liquids must be the same size; each must hold 175 quarts/liters.
12 Pou pwa yo, n'a gen vin gera egal yon chekèl, swasant chekèl egal yon mina.
When you weigh things, you must use weights that everyone accepts as being correct [MTY].’”
13 Men ki jan n'a mezire ofrann nou yo. Pou ble a, n'a bay yon mezi pou chak swasant mezi nou rekòlte. Pou lòj la, n'a bay yon mezi pou chak swasant mezi nou rekòlte.
“‘You must present to the king one bushel of wheat or barley for every 60 that you harvest.
14 Pou lwil oliv la, n'a bay yon mezi pou chak san mezi lwil pye oliv yo bay. N'a mezire lwil la ak mezi bat la: dis bat pou yon omè, osinon pou yon kò.
And you must give him one quart/liter of olive oil for every 100 quarts/liters that you make.
15 Pou mouton yo, n'a bay yonn pou chak desan (200) mouton yon fanmi genyen. Se pou nou fè ofrann grenn jaden yo, ofrann bèt pou yo boule nèt, ak ofrann bèt pou yo touye pou di mèsi, pou Bondye ka padonnen peche nou yo. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki bay lòd sa a.
Also, I, Yahweh, declare that you must take one sheep from each 200 sheep in your flocks in the pastures of Israel. Those things that you take to the king will be used with the offerings of things made from grain and for the offerings that will be completely burned and the offerings to maintain fellowship with me, offerings in order for me to forgive you for the sins that you have committed.
16 Tout moun nan peyi a fèt pou pote ofrann sa yo bay wa k'ap gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la.
All the Israeli people must join in bringing those offerings to the king of Israel.
17 Se devwa wa a pou li bay bèt pou yo boule nèt, grenn jaden, ak diven pou yo ofri pou tout pèp Izrayèl la pou fèt lalin nouvèl yo, pou jou repo m' yo ak pou tout lòt fèt yo. Se li ki pou bay ofrann pou mande Bondye padon, ofrann grenn jaden, ofrann pou yo boule nèt ak ofrann pou di mèsi, pou Bondye ka wete peche pèp Izrayèl la.
The king must provide the animals to be completely burned on the altar, grain for the grain offerings, and wine for the wine offerings for the sacred festivals that I have appointed for the people of Israel—including the festivals to celebrate each new moon and the Sabbaths. He must provide [the animals for] the offerings for the people to become acceptable to me, grain for the grain offerings, animals to be completely burned [on the altar], and offerings to maintain fellowship with me, Yahweh, in order that I will forgive the Israeli people for their sins.
18 Seyè sèl Mèt la pale ankò, li di konsa: -Chak premye jou nan premye mwa lanne a, se pou nou touye yon towo bèf san ankenn enfimite bay Bondye, pou mete Tanp lan nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye a.
This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare: On the first day of the first month [of each year] you must take one young bull that has no defects and [sacrifice it to] cause the temple to be acceptable to me.
19 Prèt la va pran ti gout nan san bèt yo ofri pou mande Bondye padon an, l'a mete sou de poto ki bò pòtay Tanp lan, sou kat kwen lotèl la, sou tout poto pòtay ki mennen nan ti lakou anndan an.
The [Supreme] Priest must take some of the blood of the offering to cause people to become acceptable to me, and smear it on the doorposts of the temple, on the four corners of the upper ledge of the altar, and on the entry posts of the inner courtyard.
20 Sou setyèm jou mwa a, se pou nou fè menm bagay la ankò pou tout moun ki fè peche san yo pa konnen, osinon san yo pa fè espre. Se konsa n'a kenbe Tanp lan nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye a.
He must do the same thing on the seventh day of the month for any people who sin without intending to sin or without realizing that what they did is sinful. By doing that you will purify the temple.
21 Sou katòzyèm jou premye mwa a, n'a konmanse ak seremoni pou fèt Delivrans lan. Pandan sèt jou, se pou tout moun manje pen san ledven.
In the first month of each year, on the 14th day of the month, you must start to celebrate the Passover Festival. The festival will last for seven days. During that time you must not eat bread made with yeast.
22 Sou premye jou fèt la, wa a gen pou l' ofri yon towo bèf pou yo touye pou mande Bondye padon pou peche l' yo ak pou peche tout pèp la.
On the first day, the king must provide a bull to be an offering for himself and for the all the other people of the country.
23 Chak jou, pandan sèt jou fèt la, se pou l' ofri sèt towo bèf ak sèt belye mouton san ankenn enfimite pou yo boule nèt pou Seyè a. Chak jou, l'a bay yon bouk kabrit pou yo touye pou mande Bondye padon pou peche yo.
And every day during those seven days he must provide seven young bulls and seven rams that have no defects, to be an offering for the people’s sins.
24 Pou chak towo bèf ak pou chak belye mouton yo gen pou yo touye, se pou yo ofri yon demi mezi grenn jaden ak twaka yon mezi lwil oliv.
He must also provide a half bushel of grain to be an offering, and also four quarts of olive oil, for each bill and ram.
25 Pou fèt Joupa yo, ki konmanse nan kenzyèm jou setyèm mwa a, wa a va fè menm bagay la tou chak jou, pandan sèt jou: ofrann pou mande Bondye padon, ofrann bèt pou boule nèt yo, ofrann grenn jaden yo ak ofrann lwil oliv yo.
During the seven days of the festival [of Living in Temporary Shelters], which starts on the fifteenth day of the seventh month of each year, the king must provide the same things for offerings for the people’s sins, for offerings to be completely burned, for grain offerings, and the same amount of olive oil that he provided each day [during the Passover Festival].’”
