Ezekyèl 43
1 Nan lè sa a, li te mennen m nan pòtay la; pòtay ki gen fas li vè lès la;
Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looks toward the east.
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.
Behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. His voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth was illuminated 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.
It was like the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city; and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.
4 Konsa, glwa SENYÈ a te vini nan kay la pa chemen pòtay ki te gen fas li vè lès la.
The LORD’s glory came into the house by the way of the gate which faces toward the east.
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.
The Spirit took me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the LORD’s glory filled the house.
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 one speaking to me out of the house, and a man stood by 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 said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell among the children of Israel forever. The house of Israel will no more defile my holy name, neither they nor their kings, by their prostitution and by the dead bodies of their kings in their 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.
in their setting of their threshold by my threshold and their door post beside my door post. There was a wall between me and them; and they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed. Therefore I have consumed 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 let them put away their prostitution, and the dead bodies of their kings far from me. Then I will dwell among 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.
“You, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.
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.
If they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the form of the house, its fashion, its exits, its entrances, its structure, all its ordinances, all its forms, and all its laws; and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form of it, and all its ordinances, and do them.
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 law of the house. On the top of the mountain the whole limit around it shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.
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 by cubits (the cubit is a cubit and a hand width): the bottom shall be a cubit, and the width a cubit, and its border around its edge a span; and this shall be the base 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.
From the bottom on the ground to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the width one cubit; and from the lesser ledge to the greater ledge shall be four cubits, and the width a cubit.
15 Fou chofaj lotèl la va kat koude; epi soti nan fou chofaj la, kat kòn yo va monte anwo a.
The upper altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar hearth and upward there shall be four horns.
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 twelve cubits long by twelve wide, square in its four sides.
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 shall be fourteen cubits long by fourteen wide in its four sides; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and its bottom shall be a cubit around; and its steps shall look toward 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.
He said to me, “Son of man, the Lord GOD says: ‘These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they make it, to offer burnt offerings on it, 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 to the Levitical priests who are of the offspring of Zadok, who are near to me, to minister to me,’ says the Lord GOD, ‘a young bull for a sin offering.
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.
You shall take of its blood and put it on its four horns, and on the four corners of the ledge, and on the border all around. You shall cleanse it and make atonement for it that way.
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.
You shall also take the bull of the sin offering, and it shall be burned in the appointed place of the house, outside of 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 shall offer a male goat without defect for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it 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.
When you have finished cleansing it, you shall offer a young bull without defect and a ram out of the flock without defect.
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 shall bring them near to the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt on them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering to the LORD.
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.
“Seven days you shall prepare every day a goat for a sin offering. They shall also prepare a young bull and a ram out of the flock, without defect.
26 Pandan sèt jou, yo va fè ekspiyasyon pou lotèl la e fè l vin pwòp; se konsa yo va konsakre li.
Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify it. So shall they consecrate 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.’”
When they have accomplished the days, it shall be that on the eighth day and onward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings on the altar and your peace offerings. Then I will accept you,’ says the Lord GOD.”
