< Ezekyèl 42 >

1 Epi li te mennen mwen deyò nan lakou a, nan chemen vè nò a. Li te mennen m nan chanm ki te anfas kote apa a, ak anfas konstriksyon an vè nò.
The man took me out through the north gate to the outer courtyard into the rooms on the far side of the Temple courtyard by the northern external wall.
2 Avèk longè a, ki te san koude a, se te pòt nò a; lajè a te senkant koude.
The building with the north-facing door was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide.
3 Anfas ven koude ki te pou lakou enteryè a, e anfas pave ki te apatyen a lakou eksteryè a, se te galri ki te koresponn ak galeri sou twa etaj yo.
It had three floors of open halls on both sides, one facing the twenty-cubit area of the inner courtyard and one facing the pavement of the outer courtyard.
4 Devan chanm yo, se te yon machpye pa anndan de dis koude nan lajè, yon chemen de san koude nan longè, epi ouvèti pa yo te vè nò.
In front of the rooms was an inside walkway ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long. Their doors opened to the north.
5 Alò, chanm anlè yo te pi piti akoz galri yo te pran plis espas sou yo ke sila nan baz ak mitan etaj nan konstriksyon yo.
The upper rooms were smaller because of the space taken up by the open halls on the lower and middle levels of the building.
6 Paske se nan twa etaj yo te ye e pa t gen pilye tankou pilye nan lakou yo. Akoz sa, chanm anlè yo te vin pi etwat ke mitan ak piba yo.
Since they didn't have pillars like the courtyards, the upper rooms were set farther back than the lower and middle levels.
7 Pou miray eksteryè bò chanm yo, vè lakou deyò anfas chanm yo, longè li te senkant koude.
An external wall ran in front of the rooms for fifty cubits long parallel to the outer courtyard.
8 Paske longè a chanm ki te nan lakou eksteryè yo te senkant koude. Epi gade byen, longè a sila anfas tanp yo te san koude.
The rooms on the outer courtyard extended for fifty cubits, but those that faced the Temple were a hundred cubits long.
9 Pi ba chanm sa yo, se te antre sou kote lès la, kote yon moun ka antre nan yo soti nan lakou eksteryè a.
Below these rooms was an entrance on the east side coming from the outer courtyard.
10 Nan epesè miray la sou kote lès, anfas kote apa a e anfas konstriksyon an, te gen chanm yo.
Along the wall on the south side of the outer courtyard were rooms next to the courtyard and opposite the building.
11 Chemen devan yo a te sanble ak chanm ki te sou kote nò yo. Selon longè yo, konsa lajè yo te ye e tout kote pou antre sòti yo te menm selon aranjman ak ouvèti pa yo.
There was a walkway in front of them, just like the rooms on the north side. These rooms had the same length and width, the same doors, floor plan, and exits.
12 Nan koresponn a pòt chanm ki te vè sid yo, te gen yon pòt nan tèt chemen an, chemen devan miray ki te vè lès la, kote yon moun ta antre ladan yo.
Similarly there was an entrance under the rooms on the south side of the building, coming from the east side.
13 Konsa, li te di mwen: “Chanm nò yo ak chanm sid yo, ki anfas a kote apa a, yo se chanm sen kote prèt ki rapwoche de SENYÈ a va manje bagay ki sen pase tout lòt yo. La, yo va fè poze bagay pi sen yo, ofrann sereyal la, ofrann peche ak ofrann koupabilite a; paske kote sa a sen.
The man told me, “The north and south rooms that face the Temple courtyard are holy rooms where the priests who go before the Lord will eat the most holy offerings. They will place the most holy offerings there because the place is holy, and include the grain offerings, the sin offerings, and the guilt offerings.
14 Lè prèt yo antre, alò yo p ap sòti nan lakou eksteryè a lè yo kite sanktyè a san ke yo pa mete la vètman ak sila yo fè sèvis la, paske yo sen. Yo va mete lòt vètman sou yo; nan lè sa a, yo va pwoche sa ki pou pèp la.”
Once the priests have entered these rooms, they are not to go to the outer courtyard before leaving their priestly clothes, because these are holy. They must change into other clothes before go where the ordinary people are.”
15 Alò, lè l te fin mezire kay enteryè a, li te mennen mwen deyò pa chemen pòtay ki te bay fas vè lès la e te mezire li toupatou.
After the man finished measuring inside of the Temple area, he took me out through the east gate, and he measured the surrounding area as well.
16 Li te mezire kote lès la ak baton mezi a, senk-san baton pa mezi baton an.
Using the measuring rod he measured the east side. It was five hundred cubits long.
17 Li te mezire kote nò a, senk-san baton pa mezi baton an.
He measured the north side. It was five hundred cubits long.
18 Nan sid, li te mezire senk-san baton ak mezi baton an.
He measured the south side. It was five hundred cubits long.
19 Li te vire kote lwès e li te mezire senk-san baton ak mezi baton an.
And he came around and measured the west side. It was five hundred cubits long.
20 Li te mezire li nan kat kote yo. Li te gen yon miray ki te antoure l nèt; longè ki te senk-san ak lajè ki te senk-san an, pou te divize antre sa ki sen ak sa ki pwofàn.
So he measured all four sides. There was a wall surrounding it, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits wide, separating the holy from the common.
