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.
[in the vision] the man led me out of the inner courtyard, through [the entrance on] the north side. We entered the outer courtyard and came to a building that was built against the north [of the inner courtyard].
2 Avèk longè a, ki te san koude a, se te pòt nò a; lajè a te senkant koude.
That building was (175 feet/53 meters) long and (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) wide. Its doorway faced north.
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.
In that building were two rows of rooms, built on three levels, that faced each other. One row of rooms was built against the wall of the inner courtyard, and the other row was built against the wall facing the outer courtyard. The building was 34 feet from the temple.
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.
Between the [two] rows of rooms there was a walkway that was (17-1/2 feet/5.3 meters) wide and (175 feet/53 meters) long. All its doors were on the north side.
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.
Each of the upper rows of rooms was narrower than the row of rooms below them, [because the upper rows needed to have a walkway in front of them].
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.
The rooms on the upper levels had no pillars to support them like the ones in the courtyard. Instead, each of those row of rooms were supported by the walls of the row of rooms on the level below.
7 Pou miray eksteryè bò chanm yo, vè lakou deyò anfas chanm yo, longè li te senkant koude.
The wall of the building extended (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) past the set of rooms built along the outer courtyard, separating all the rooms from 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 row of rooms that were along the outer courtyard was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) long, and the set of rooms that faced the temple was (175 feet/53 meters) 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.
The lowest row of rooms had an entrance from the outer courtyard, on the east side.
10 Nan epesè miray la sou kote lès, anfas kote apa a e anfas konstriksyon an, te gen chanm yo.
On the south [side], along the wall of the outer courtyard, next to the temple courtyard, was a [a building with two] rows of rooms,
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.
with a walkway between them. Those rooms were like the rooms on the north [side]: they were the same length and width, and had the same kind of entrances.
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.
The doorways on the south side were similar to the doorways on the north side. There was an entrance in the wall that faced the doors of the set of rooms, and there was an entrance on the east side, at the end of the inside walkway.
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.
Then the man said to me, “These rooms that overlook the temple on the north and south sides are holy. Here the priests who offer sacrifices to Yahweh will [their portions of] the sacred offerings. Because these rooms are holy, they will be used to store the sacred offerings: [the grain for] the grain offerings, the offerings for the sins that people have committed, and offerings in order that people will no longer be guilty for having sinned.
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.”
When the priests leave the temple, they will not be allowed to [immediately] enter the outer courtyard. First, they must remove the clothes that they had been wearing inside the temple, because those clothes are holy. They must put on other clothes before they enter the parts [of the temple area] where the [other] people [gather].”
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.
When the man had finished measuring the inside of the temple area, he led me out through the east entrance [of the outer courtyard] and measured all the way around the temple area.
16 Li te mezire kote lès la ak baton mezi a, senk-san baton pa mezi baton an.
He measured the four sides of the area. There was a wall around the area that was (875 feet/265 meters) long on each side.
17 Li te mezire kote nò a, senk-san baton pa mezi baton an.
18 Nan sid, li te mezire senk-san baton ak mezi baton an.
19 Li te vire kote lwès e li te mezire senk-san baton ak mezi baton an.
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.
That wall separated the [area which was] sacred/holy from the [areas that were] not sacred.
