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.
And he causeth me to turn back the way of the gate of the outer sanctuary that is looking eastward, and it is 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 saith unto me, 'This gate is shut, it is not opened, and none doth go in by it, for Jehovah, God of Israel, hath come in by it, and it hath been 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.”
The prince, who [is] prince, he sitteth by it to eat bread before Jehovah, by the way of the porch of the gate he cometh in, and by its way he goeth out.'
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.
And he bringeth me in the way of the north gate unto the front of the house, and I look, and lo, filled hath the honour of Jehovah the house of Jehovah, and I fall on 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 saith unto me, 'Son of man, set thy heart, and see with thine eyes, and with thine ears hear, all that I am speaking with thee, of all the statutes of the house of Jehovah, and of all its laws; and thou hast set thy heart to the entrance of the house, with all the outlets 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 hast said unto the rebellious, unto the house of Israel: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Enough to you — of all your abominations, O house of Israel.
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 your bringing in sons of a stranger, uncircumcised of heart, and uncircumcised of flesh, to be in My sanctuary, to pollute it, even My house, in your bringing near My bread, fat, and blood, and they break My covenant by 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, and ye set [them] for keepers of My charge in My sanctuary for you.
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 said the Lord Jehovah: No son of a stranger, uncircumcised of heart, and uncircumcised of flesh, cometh in unto My sanctuary, even any son of a stranger, who [is] in the midst of 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 have gone far off from me, in the wandering of Israel when they went astray from Me after their idols, and they have borne 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.
And they have been in My sanctuary ministrants, overseers at the gates of the house, and ministrants at the house; they slay the burnt-offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they stand before them to serve 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 that they serve them before their idols, and have been to the house of Israel for a stumbling-block of iniquity, therefore I have lifted up my hand against them — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah — and they have borne 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 draw not nigh unto Me to act as My priest, and to draw nigh unto any of My holy things, unto the holy of holies, and they have borne their shame and their abominations that they have done,
14 Malgre sa, Mwen va deziye yo pou kenbe responsabilite kay la, pou tout sèvis ak tout sa k ap fèt ladann.
and I made them keepers of the charge of the house, for all its service and for all that is 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.
'And the priests, the Levites, sons of Zadok, who have kept the charge of My sanctuary in the wandering of the sons of Israel from off Me, they draw near unto Me to serve Me, and have stood before Me, to bring near to Me fat and blood — an affirmation of 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 come in unto My sanctuary, and they draw near unto My table to serve Me, and they have kept 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 hath come to pass, in their going in unto the gates of the inner court, linen garments they put on; and no wool cometh up on them in their ministering 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.
Linen bonnets are on their head, and linen trousers are on their loins, they are not restrained with 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 in their going forth unto the outer court — unto the outer court unto the people — they strip off their garments, in which they are ministering, and have placed them in the holy chambers, and have put on other garments; and they do not sanctify the people in their own 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.
And their head they do not shave, and the lock they do not send forth; they certainly poll their heads.
21 Ni okenn nan prèt yo pa pou bwè divin pandan y ap antre nan lakou enteryè a.
And no priest doth drink wine in their coming in unto 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.
And a widow and divorced woman they do not take to them for wives: but — virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, and the widow who is widow of a priest, do they take.
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 My people they direct between holy and common, and between unclean and clean they cause them to discern.
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 concerning controversy, they stand up for judgment; with My judgments they judge it; and My law and My statutes in all My appointed places they keep; and My sabbaths they sanctify.
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 unto any dead man they come not for uncleanness, but for father, and for mother, and for son, and for daughter, for brother, for sister who hath not been to a man, they defile themselves.
26 Aprè li fin netwaye, sèt jou va ekoule pou li.
'And after his cleansing, seven days they number to him.
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 of his coming in unto the sanctuary, unto the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he bringeth near his sin-offering — an affirmation of 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 it hath been to them for an inheritance; I [am] their inheritance: and a possession ye do not give to them 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.
The present, and the sin-offering, and the guilt-offering, they do eat, and every devoted thing in Israel is 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 all, and every heave-offering of all, of all your heave-offerings, are the priests': and the first of your dough ye give to the priest, 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.
Any carcase and torn thing, of the fowl, and of the beasts, the priests do not eat.
