Ezekiyel 44
1 Sai mutumin ya komo da ni zuwa ƙofar waje na wuri mai tsarki, wadda take fuskantar gabas, tana kuwa a rufe.
Then he brought me back to the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looketh toward the east; and it was shut.
2 Ubangiji ya ce mini, “Wannan ƙofar za tă kasance a rufe. Ba za a buɗe ta ba; ba wanda zai shiga ta wurinta. Za tă kasance a rufe domin Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, ya shiga ta wurinta.
Then said Jehovah to me: This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because Jehovah, the God of Israel, entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut.
3 Sarki kansa ne kaɗai zai zauna a hanyar shiga don yă ci a gaban Ubangiji. Zai shiga ta hanyar shirayin hanyar shiga yă kuma fita a wannan hanya.”
The prince, because he is prince, shall sit in it, to eat food before Jehovah; he shall enter through the porch of that gate, and by the same way shall he go out.
4 Sa’an nan mutumin ya kawo ni ta hanyar ƙofar arewa zuwa gaban haikali. Na duba na kuma ga ɗaukakar Ubangiji tana cika haikalin Ubangiji, sai na fāɗi rubda ciki.
Then he brought me to 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 Ubangiji ya ce mini, “Ɗan mutum, ka lura sosai, ka saurara sosai ka kuma mai da hankali ga kome da na faɗa maka game da dukan ƙa’idodi game da haikalin Ubangiji. Ka lura sosai da ƙofar shigar haikali da kuma dukan ƙofofin wuri mai tsarki.
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 thereof; and mark well all the entrances of the house, and all the outward passages of the sanctuary.
6 Faɗa wa’yan tawayen gidan Isra’ila, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa ayyukan banƙyamarku sun isa haka, ya gidan Isra’ila!
And say to the rebellious house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Let it suffice you of all your abominations, O house of Israel,
7 Ban da dukan sauran ayyukanku na banƙyama, kun kawo baƙi marasa kaciya a zuciya da jiki a wurina mai tsarki, kun kuma ƙazantar da haikalina yayinda kuke miƙa mini abinci, kitse da kuma jini, kun kuma karya alkawarina.
in that ye brought strangers, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, so that ye polluted my house when ye offered my food, the fat and the blood, and broke my covenant by all your abominations.
8 A maimakon yin ayyukanku bisa ga abubuwana masu tsarki, kun sa waɗansu su lura da wurina mai tsarki.
And ye kept not the charge of my holy place, but appointed for yourselves such keepers of my charge in my sanctuary.
9 Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa ba baƙo marar kaciya a zuciya da jiki da zai shiga wurina mai tsarki, kai, har ma da baƙin da suke zama a cikin Isra’ila.
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: No stranger, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of all the strangers that are among the sons of Israel.
10 “‘Lawiyawan da suka yi nesa da ni sa’ad da Isra’ila suka kauce da kuma waɗanda suka karkata daga gare ni suka bi gumakansu, dole su ɗauki alhakin zunubinsu.
But even the Levites, who departed from me when Israel went astray, who went astray from me after their idols, shall bear their iniquity.
11 Za su iya yin hidima a wurina mai tsarki, suna lura da ƙofofin haikali suna kuma hidima a cikinsu; za su iya yankan hadayun ƙonawa da sadaka don mutane su kuma tsaya a gaban mutane su yi musu hidima.
Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having charge at the gates of the house, and ministering at the house; they shall slay the burnt-offering and sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister to them.
12 Amma domin sun yi musu hidima a gaban gumakansu suka sa gidan Isra’ila ya yi zunubi, saboda haka na ɗaga hannu na rantse cewa dole su ɗauki alhakin zunubinsu, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka.
Because they ministered to them before their idols, and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity, therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, saith the Lord Jehovah, that they shall bear their iniquity.
13 Ba za su yi kusa don su yi hidima kamar firistoci ko su zo kusa da abubuwana masu tsarki ko hadayuna mafi tsarki ba; dole su sha kunya saboda ayyukansu na banƙyama.
And they shall not come near to me to do the office of a priest to me, and to come near to any of my holy things in the most holy place, but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.
14 Duk da haka zan sa su su lura da ayyukan haikali da kuma dukan ayyukan da za a yi a cikinsa.
But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all which is to be done therein.
15 “‘Amma firistoci, waɗanda suke Lawiyawa kuma zuriyar Zadok waɗanda suka yi aminci ta wurin yin ayyukansu a wurina mai tsarki sa’ad da Isra’ilawa suka kauce daga gare ni, su ne za su zo kusa don hidima a gabana; za su tsaya a gabana don miƙa hadayun kitse da jini, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka.
But the priests, the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that 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, saith the Lord Jehovah.
16 Su ne kaɗai za su shiga wurina mai tsarki; su ne kaɗai za su zo kusa da teburina don yin hidima a gabana su kuma yi hidimata.
They shall come into my sanctuary, and they shall draw near to my table to minister to me, and shall keep my charge.
17 “‘Sa’ad da suka shiga ƙofofin fili na can ciki, dole su sa tufafin lilin; kada su sa wani rigar da aka yi da ulu yayinda suke hidima a ƙofofin fili na can ciki da cikin haikali.
And when they enter 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 the house.
18 Za su naɗa rawunan lilin a kawunansu, su kuma sa wandunan lilin. Kada su sa wani abin da zai sa su yi zuffa.
They shall have linen coverings upon their heads, and linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with anything that causeth sweat.
19 Sa’ad da suka fita daga haikali zuwa fili na waje inda mutane suke, sai su tuɓe rigunan da suka yi hidima da su su bar su a tsarkakan ɗakuna, su sa waɗansu riguna, don kada su tsarkake mutane ta wurin rigunansu.
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 ministered, and lay them in the holy rooms, and shall clothe themselves with other garments, that they may not sanctify the people with their garments.
20 “‘Ba za su aske kawunansu ko su bar gashin kansu ya yi tsayi ba, amma sai su sausaye gashin kansu.
They shall neither shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall shear their heads.
21 Kada firist ya sha ruwan inabi sa’ad da zai shiga fili na can ciki.
And no priest shall drink wine when they enter into the inner court.
22 Kada su auri gwauruwa ko macen da aka sāke; za su auri budurwai ne kaɗai na Isra’ilawa ko gwaurayen firistoci.
Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, or her that is put away; but they shall take virgins of the race of the house of Israel, or a widow that is the widow of a priest.
23 Za su koyar da mutanena bambanci tsakanin tsarki da rashin tsarki su kuma nuna musu yadda za su bambanta marar tsarki da mai tsarki.
And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and unholy, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
24 “‘A duk wani rashin jituwa, firistoci za su zama alƙalai su kuma yanke magana bisa ga farillaina. Za su kiyaye dokokina da ƙa’idodina a dukan ƙayyadaddun bukukkuwana, su kuma kiyaye Asabbataina da tsarki.
And in controversy they shall stand to judge; according to my statutes shall they judge. And they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all my festivals, and they shall hallow my sabbaths.
25 “‘Firist ba zai ƙazantar da kansa ta wurin zuwa kusa da gawa ba; amma, in gawar mahaifinsa ko mahaifiyarsa, ko ɗansa ko’yarsa, ko ɗan’uwansa ko’yar’uwarsa ce, to, ba zai ƙazantar da kansa ba.
And they shall come to no dead person to defile themselves; but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves.
26 Bayan ya tsarkaka, dole yă jira har kwana bakwai.
And after his cleansing they shall reckon to him seven days.
27 A ranar da ya shiga fili na can ciki na wuri mai tsarki don hidima a wuri mai tsarki, zai miƙa hadaya don zunubi saboda kansa, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka.
And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin-offering, saith the Lord Jehovah.
28 “‘Ni ne kaɗai zan zama abin gādon da firistoci za su kasance da shi. Kada ka ba su wani mallaka a Isra’ila; zan zama mallakarsu.
And it shall be to them for an inheritance, that I am their inheritance. And ye shall give them no possession in Israel; I am their possession.
29 Za su ci hadaya ta gari, hadaya don zunubi da hadaya don laifi; da kuma kowane keɓaɓɓen abu a Isra’ila da za a ba wa Ubangiji zai zama nasu.
They shall eat the flour-offering, and the sin-offering, and the trespass-offering; and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs.
30 Mafi kyau na nunan farinku da kuma dukan kyautanku na musamman za su zama na firistoci. Za ku ba su rabo na fari na ɓarzajjen hatsinku saboda albarka ta kasance a gidanku.
And the first of all the first-fruits, and every oblation of all your oblations, shall belong to the priests. Ye shall also give to the priest the first of your meal, that he may cause a blessing to rest on thine house.
31 Firistoci ba za su ci mushen tsuntsu ko na dabba ba, ba kuwa za su ci waɗanda namun jeji suka kashe ba.
The priests shall not eat of anything that dieth of itself, or that is torn, whether it be fowl or beast.
