< Ezekyèl 43 >
1 Nan lè sa a, li te mennen m nan pòtay la; pòtay ki gen fas li vè lès la;
The man took me back to the east gate.
2 Epi gade byen, glwa Bondye Israël la t ap vini soti nan chemen lès la. Vwa Li te tankou son anpil dlo; epi tè a te limen ak glwa Li.
There I saw the glory of Israel's God coming from the east. His voice sounded like a thundering waterfall, and the earth blazed bright with his glory.
3 Epi se te tankou vizyon ke m te fè a, tankou vizyon ke m te fè lè Li te vini pou detwi vil la. Epi vizyon yo te tankou vizyon ke m te fè bò kote rivyè Kebar a; epi mwen te tonbe sou figi m.
The vision I saw was just like the vision I'd seen when he came to destroy the city of Jerusalem and like the visions I'd seen beside the River Kebar. I fell facedown on the ground.
4 Konsa, glwa SENYÈ a te vini nan kay la pa chemen pòtay ki te gen fas li vè lès la.
The glory of the Lord entered the Temple through the east gate.
5 Epi Lespri a te leve m anlè e te mennen m antre nan lakou enteryè a; epi gade byen, glwa SENYÈ a te ranpli kay la.
Then the Spirit picked me up and took me into the inner courtyard, and the glory of the Lord filled the Temple.
6 Nan lè sa a, mwen te tande yon moun ki t ap pale ak mwen soti nan kay la, pandan yon nonm te kanpe akote mwen.
I heard someone speaking to me from inside the Temple while the man standing beside me.
7 Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, sa se plas pou twòn Mwen an, ak plas machpye Mwen an, kote Mwen va demere pami fis Israël yo jis pou tout tan. Lakay Israël p ap souye non sen Mwen an ankò, ni yo menm ni wa yo, pa zak pwostitisyon yo, e pa kadav a wa yo lè yo fin mouri,
He told me, “Son of man, this is where I have my throne. It's my home where I will live among the Israelites forever. The people of Israel and their kings won't ever again disgrace me and my holiness by their acts of prostitution and by their honoring their dead kings in their pagan high places.
8 lè yo te mete papòt pa yo akote papòt pa Mwen, poto pòt pa yo akote poto pòt pa Mwen. Te gen yon miray ki te antre Mwen ak yo. Epi yo te souye non sen Mwen an ak abominasyon ke yo te komèt yo. Pou sa, Mwen te konsonmen yo nan gwo kòlè Mwen.
When they built their homes right next to mine—their threshold beside my threshold and their doorposts beside my doorposts, with only a wall separating us—they disgraced me and my holiness by the disgusting sins they committed. That's why I destroyed them in my anger.
9 Koulye a, kite yo mete akote zak pwostitisyon yo ak kadav a wa yo byen lwen Mwen. Konsa, Mwen va demere pami yo jis pou tout tan.”
Now if they get rid of their prostitution and their pagan honoring of their dead kings, and I will live with them forever.
10 “Pou ou menm, fis a lòm, bay detay a tanp lan a lakay Israël, pou yo ka wont de inikite yo; epi kite yo mezire plan an.
Son of man, tell the people of Israel about the Temple and they'll be ashamed of their sins. Have them carefully consider its plan,
11 Si yo vin wont de tout sa ke yo te fè yo, fè yo konnen dizay kay la, fòm li, antre ak sòti li yo, dizay li, tout règleman ak tout lwa li yo. Ekri li devan zye yo pou yo ka wè tout dizay ak tout règleman li yo pou fè yo.
and if they're ashamed of everything they've done, then explain to them the Temple's design, its layout, exits, and entrances—the complete plan—as well as all its regulations, specifications, and laws. Write them down as they watch, so that they can remember its complete plan and follow all its regulations.
12 “Sa se lwa kay la: tout espas toutozanviwon anwo mòn nan va sen pase tout kote. Gade byen, sa se lwa kay la.”
This is the Temple law: the whole area around the Temple on the mountain top is very holy. Pay attention: this is the Temple law.
13 “Epi sa yo se mezi lotèl la an koude (koude ki se yon koude plis mezi yon pla men): baz la va yon koude, lajè a va yon koude e arebò sou akote a va anviwon yon anpan; epi sa va wotè a baz lotèl la.
These are the measurements of the altar in cubits (a cubit and the width of a hand): The gutter is to be one cubit deep and one cubit wide, with a rim one hand span wide along its edge. The back of the altar
14 Soti nan baz atè a pou rive piba ankadreman an, li va de koude, e lajè a va yon koude; epi soti nan pi piti ankadreman an pou rive nan pi gran ankadreman an, li va kat koude e lajè a va yon koude.
measured from the gutter on the ground to the lower ledge is to be two cubits. The ledge will measure one cubit wide. The distance from the smaller ledge to the larger ledge is to be four cubits, and the ledge one cubit wide.
15 Fou chofaj lotèl la va kat koude; epi soti nan fou chofaj la, kat kòn yo va monte anwo a.
The altar hearth is to be four cubits high, with four horns pointing upwards from it.
16 Alò, fou lotèl la va longè a douz koude pa douz nan lajè, ak kare nan kat kote li yo.
The altar hearth shall be square, its four sides each measuring twelve cubits.
17 Ankadreman an va katòz koude nan longè, katòz nan lajè nan kat kote li yo, arebò li va mwatye koude a e baz li va yon koude toutozanviwon li; epi eskalye li yo va bay fas vè lès.”
The ledge is also to be square, measuring fourteen cubits by fourteen cubits, with a half-cubit rim and a one-cubit gutter all around it. The altar steps are to face the east.”
18 Epi Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Sila yo se règleman pou lotèl la nan jou ke li bati a, pou ofri ofrann brile sou li e pou flite san sou li.
Then he told me: “Son of man, this is what the Lord God says: These are the regulations regarding the altar once it's built, so that it can be used to sacrifice burnt offerings and to sprinkle blood on it:
19 ‘Ou va bay a prèt Levit ki sòti nan fanmi Tsadok yo, ki rapwoche de Mwen pou fè sèvis Mwen yo,’ deklare Senyè BONDYE a, ‘yon jenn towo pou yon ofrann peche.
You shall give a young bull as a sin offering to the Leviticus priests from the family of Zadok, who come and minister before me, declares the Lord God.
20 ‘Ou va pran kèk nan san li, mete li sou kat kòn yo, sou kat kwen ankadreman an ak toutotou arebò a. Konsa, ou va fè l vin pwòp e fè ekspiyasyon pou li.
Take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar, on the four corners of the ledge, and all the way round the rim. This is how you shall purify the altar and set it right.
21 Ou va, anplis, pran towo pou ofrann peche a, e li va vin brile nan kote ki chwazi nan kay la deyò sanktiyè a.
Then remove the bull for the sin offering and burn it in the designated place of the Temple area outside the sanctuary.
22 “‘Nan dezyèm jou a, ou va ofri yon mal kabrit san defo kon ofrann peche, e yo va netwaye lotèl la jan yo te netwaye li ak towo a.
On the second day you are to bring as male goat without defects as a sin offering, and the altar shall be purified as it was purified with the bull.
23 Lè ou fin netwaye li, ou va prezante yon jenn towo san defo ak yon belye san defo ki soti nan bann mouton an.
After you've finished the purifying process, you are to present a young bull and a ram, both free from defects.
24 Ou va prezante yo devan SENYÈ a; prèt yo va jete sèl sou yo e yo va ofri yo kon ofrann brile a SENYÈ a.
You are to offer them to the Lord. The priests shall sprinkle salt on them and sacrifice them to the Lord as a burnt offering.
25 “‘Pandan sèt jou, ou va prepare chak jou yon kabrit kon ofrann peche; anplis, yon jenn towo ak yon belye san defo ki soti nan bann mouton an, va vin prepare.
For seven days you are to supply a male goat daily for a sin offering. You are also to supply a young bull and a ram, they are both to have no defects.
26 Pandan sèt jou, yo va fè ekspiyasyon pou lotèl la e fè l vin pwòp; se konsa yo va konsakre li.
For seven days the priests are to set the altar right and purify it. This is how they will dedicate it.
27 Lè yo fin konplete nonb de jou yo, li va rive ke nan uityèm jou a e kontinye, prèt yo va ofri ofrann brile pa nou an sou otèl la ak ofrann lapè nou yo. Konsa, Mwen va aksepte nou,’ deklare Senyè BONDYE a.’”
Once these days are over, then from the eighth day the priests are to present the burnt offerings and peace offerings of your people on the altar. Then I will accept all of you, declares the Lord God.”
