Ezekyèl 44
1 Nan lè sa a, Li te mennen m retounen pa chemen a pòtay eksteryè sanktiyè a, ki bay fas li vè lès la; epi li te fèmen.
Then he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looks toward the east. And it was shut.
2 SENYÈ a te di mwen: “Pòtay sa a va fèmen. Li p ap louvri, ni pèsòn p ap janm antre pa li, paske SENYÈ Bondye Israël la te, antre pa li. Akoz sa, li va fèmen.
And Jehovah said to me, This gate shall be shut. It shall not be opened, nor shall any man enter in by it, for Jehovah, the God of Israel, has entered in by it. Therefore it shall be shut.
3 Pou prens lan, li va chita ladann tankou prens pou manje pen devan SENYÈ a. Li va antre pa chemen galri pòtay la, e li va sòti pa menm chemen an.”
As for the ruler, he shall sit in it as ruler to eat bread before Jehovah. He shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go out by the way of the same.
4 Epi li te mennen m pa chemen pòtay nò a pou rive devan kay la. Konsa, mwen te gade e vwala glwa SENYÈ a te ranpli lakay SENYÈ a, e mwen te tonbe sou figi m.
Then he brought me by the way of the north gate before the house. And I looked, and, behold, the glory of Jehovah filled the house of Jehovah. And I fell upon my face.
5 SENYÈ a te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, make byen, gade ak zye ou, e tande ak zòrèy ou tout sa ke M di ou konsènan tout règleman lakay SENYÈ yo, e konsènan tout lwa li yo. Epi make byen antre kay la, ak tout sòti ki gen nan sanktyè a.
And Jehovah said to me, Son of man, mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say to thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of Jehovah, and all the laws of it. And mark well the entrance of the house, with every exit of the sanctuary.
6 Ou va di a sila k ap fè rebèl yo: ‘Senyè BONDYE la di: “Se kont! Sispann fè tout abominasyon nou yo, O lakay Israël.
And thou shall say to the rebellious, even to the house of Israel, Thus says the lord Jehovah: O ye house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations,
7 Lè nou te mennen etranje yo antre, ensikonsi nan kè yo ak ensikonsi nan chè yo, pou antre nan sanktyè Mwen an, pou pwofane li, menm lakay Mwen an, lè nou te ofri manje Mwen an, grès ak san an; paske yo te anile akò Mwen an—tout sa, anplis de tout abominasyon nou yo.
in that ye have brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to profane it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood. And they have broken my covenant, to add to all your abominations.
8 Epi nou pa t rete responsab nou menm, de bagay sen Mwen yo, men te mete etranje yo responsab de sanktiyè mwen an.”
And ye have not kept the charge of my holy things, but ye have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.
9 Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Okenn etranje ensikonsi nan kè, ak ensikonsi nan chè, tout etranje ki pami fis Israël yo, p ap antre nan sanktyè pa M nan.
Thus says the lord Jehovah: No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any foreigners that are among the sons of Israel.
10 “‘“Men Levit ki te ale lwen Mwen lè Israël te vin egare a, ki te vin egare kite Mwen ki t ap kouri dèyè zidòl yo, va pote pinisyon pou inikite pa yo.
But the Levites who went far from me, when Israel went astray, who went astray from me after their idols, they shall bear their iniquity.
11 Malgre sa, yo va fè sèvis nan sanktiyè Mwen an, pou gen zye sou pòtay kay yo, ak fè sèvis nan kay la. Yo va touye ofrann brile ak sakrifis pou pèp la, e yo va kanpe devan yo pou fè sèvis.
Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having oversight at the gates of the house, and ministering in the house. They shall kill the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister to them.
12 Akoz yo te fè sèvis pou yo devan zidòl yo, e yo te vin yon wòch chite, inikite, pou lakay Israël; akoz sa, Mwen te sèmante kont yo”, deklare Senyè BONDYE a: “Ke yo va pote pinisyon pou inikite pa yo a.
Because they ministered to them before their idols, and became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I have lifted up my hand against them, says the lord Jehovah, and they shall bear their iniquity.
13 Konsa, yo p ap vin rapwoche de Mwen, pou sèvi kon prèt pou Mwen, ni vin rapwoche de okenn nan bagay sen Mwen yo, vè bagay ki sen pase tout lòt yo; men yo va pote wont ak abominasyon ke yo te fè yo.
And they shall not come near to me, to execute the office of priest to me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, to the things that are most holy, but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.
14 Malgre sa, Mwen va deziye yo pou kenbe responsabilite kay la, pou tout sèvis ak tout sa k ap fèt ladann.
Yet I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service of it, and for all that shall be done in it.
15 “‘“Men prèt Levit yo, fis a Tsadok yo, ki te kenbe responsabilite sanktyè pa M nan lè fis Israël yo te vin egare kite Mwen an, va vin rapwoche de Mwen pou fè sèvis pou Mwen. Yo va kanpe devan M pou ofri Mwen grès ak san an,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, who kept the charge of my sanctuary when the sons of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister to me. And they shall stand before me to offer to me the fat and the blood, says the lord Jehovah:
16 Yo va antre nan sanktiyè Mwen an. Yo va vin rapwoche de tab Mwen an pou fè sèvis Mwen, e kenbe responsabilite Mwe, n an.
they shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister to me, and they shall keep my charge.
17 “‘“Li va fèt ke lè yo antre nan pòtay lakou enteryè yo, yo va abiye ak vètman len. Epi lenn p ap sou yo pandan y ap fè sèvis nan pòtay lakou enteryè yo ak anndan kay yo.
And it shall be that, when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments, and no wool shall come upon them, while they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.
18 Moso twal an len va sou tèt yo e souvètman fèt ak len va nan ren yo. Yo p ap abiye ak okenn bagay ki pou fè yo swè.
They shall have linen headdresses upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins. They shall not gird themselves with anything that causes sweat.
19 Lè yo sòti deyò vè pèp la, nan lakou deyò a, yo va retire vètman yo te sèvi nan fè sèvis la, e lage yo nan chanm sen yo. Yo va mete lòt vètman pou yo pa transmèt sentete a pèp la avèk vètman yo.
And when they go forth into the outer court, even into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments in which they minister, and lay them in the holy chambers. And they shall put on other garments, that they not sanctify the people with their garments.
20 “‘“Anplis, yo p ap pase razwa nan tèt yo, ni yo p ap kite cheve a vin long. Se sèl cheve nan tèt yo y ap koupe.
Neither shall they shave their heads, nor allow their locks to grow long. They shall only cut off the hair of their heads.
21 Ni okenn nan prèt yo pa pou bwè divin pandan y ap antre nan lakou enteryè a.
Neither shall any of the priests drink wine when they enter into the inner court.
22 Epi yo p ap marye ak yon vèv ni yon fanm divòse, men yo va pran vyèj ki soti nan desandan lakay Israël yo, oswa yon vèv ki se vèv a yon prèt.
Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her who is put away, but they shall take virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow who is the widow of a priest.
23 Anplis, yo va enstwi pèp Mwen an pou distenge antre sa ki sen ak sa ki pwofàn, e fè yo distenge antre sa ki pa pwòp ak sa ki pwòp.
And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the common, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
24 “‘“Nan yon diskisyon, yo va kanpe pran plas yo pou jije. Yo va jije sa selon òdonans Mwen yo. Yo va anplis, kenbe lwa M yo, ak règleman Mwen yo, nan tout fèt chwazi Mwen yo. Yo va kenbe tout Saba Mwen yo sen.
And in a controversy they shall stand to judge. They shall judge it according to my ordinances. And they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all my appointed feasts, and they shall hallow my sabbaths.
25 “‘“Yo p ap ale kote yon moun mouri pou yo vin souye; sepandan, pou papa, manman, pou fis, fi, pou frè, oswa yon sè ki pa t gen mari, yo kapab souye tèt yo.
And they shall go in to no dead person to defile themselves. But for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister who has had no husband, they may defile themselves.
26 Aprè li fin netwaye, sèt jou va ekoule pou li.
And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon to him seven days.
27 Nan jou ke li antre nan sanktiyè a, nan lakou enteryè pou fè sèvis nan sanktiyè a, li va ofri lofrann peche pa li a”, deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
And in the day that he goes into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, says the lord Jehovah.
28 “‘Epi sa va konsidere kon yon eritaj pou yo, ke se Mwen ki eritaj yo; epi ou p ap bay yo okenn posesyon an Israël——se Mwen menm ki posesyon yo.
And they shall have an inheritance: I am their inheritance. And ye shall give them no possession in Israel. I am their possession.
29 Yo va manje ofrann sereyal la, ofrann peche a, ak ofrann koupabilite; epi tout bagay ki konsakre an Israël va pou yo.
They shall eat the meal offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering. And every devoted thing in Israel shall be theirs.
30 Premye a tout premye fwi tout kalite ak tout don a tout kalite soti nan tout sa nou kontribye va pou prèt yo. Nou va, anplis, bay prèt la premye nan bòl farin nou yo, pou fè benediksyon vin poze sou lakay nou.
And the first of all the first-fruits of every thing, and every oblation of everything, of all your oblations, shall be for the priest. Ye shall also give to the priests the first of your dough, to cause a blessing to rest on thy house.
31 Prèt yo p ap manje okenn zwazo, bèt ki te mouri pa mò natirèl, oswa ki te dechire an mòso.
The priests shall not eat of anything that dies of itself, or is torn, whether it be bird or beast.
