Ezekiela 44
1 A HOIHOI mai oia ia'u ma ke ala o ka ipuka o kahi hoano waho e nana ana ma ka hikina, a ua pani ia.
THEN he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary which looketh toward the east; and it was shut.
2 Alaila olelo mai la Iehova ia'u, E paa no keia puka, aole ia e weheia'e, aole hoi kanaka e komo malaila; no ka mea, ua komo ae Iehova ke Akua no Iseraela ma ia, nolaila e paa ia.
Then said the Lord unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the Lord, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut.
3 No ka moi no ia; o ka moi, oia ke noho malaila, e ai i ka berena imua o Iehova: ma ke ala o ka lanai o ka ipuka e komo ai oia, a malaila no hoi e puka ai ia.
It is for the prince; the prince, he shall sit in it to eat bread before the Lord; he shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate, and shall go out by the way of the same.
4 Alaila lawe mai oia ia'u ma ke ala o ka ipuka ma ke kukulu akau, ma ke alo o ka hale; a nana aku no hoi au, aia hoi, ua hoopiha ka nani o Iehova i ka hale o Iehova; a haule iho wau ilalo ke alo.
Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord: and I fell upon my face.
5 Olelo mai la hoi Iehova ia'u, E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e noonoo pono, e nana me kou mau maka, a e hoolohe me kou mau peneiao i ka mea a pau a'u e olelo ai ia oe, no na oihana a pau o ka hale o Iehova, a me kona mau kanawai a pau; a e manao kou naau i ke komo ana i ka hale, a me na wahi o kahi hoano e puka ai.
And the Lord said unto me, Son of man, mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of the Lord, and all the laws thereof; and mark well the entering in of the house, with every going forth of the sanctuary.
6 E olelo hoi oe i ka poe kipi, i ka ohana hoi a Iseraela, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, He nui paha ia oukou ko oukou mau mea inainaia a pau, e ka ohana a Iseraela,
And thou shalt say to the rebellious, even to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God; O ye house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations,
7 I ko oukou lawe ana iloko i na keiki a na malihini, i na mea okipoepoe ole ia ma ka naau, a i okipoepoe ole ia ma ka io, e noho iloko o ko'u wahi hoano e hoohaumia ia mea, i kuu hale hoi, i ko oukou kaumaha ana i kuu berena, i ke kaikea, a me ke koko, a ua uhai lakou i kuu berita no ko oukou mau mea inainaia a pau.
In that ye have brought into my sanctuary strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all your abominations.
8 Aole oukou i malama i ka oihana no kuu mau mea hoano; aka, ua hoonoho oukou i mau mea kiai ma ka'u oihana iloko o kuu wahi hoano no oukou iho.
And ye have not kept the charge of mine holy things: but ye have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.
9 Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; Aole ka malihini i okipoepoe ole ia ma ka naau, a i okipoepoe ole ia ma ka io, e komo i kuu wahi hoano, o na malihini iwaena o na mamo a Iseraela.
Thus saith the Lord God; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel.
10 A o na mamo a Levi i hele mamao aku mai o'u aku nei, i ko Iseraela auwana ana, na mea i auwana'ku mai o'u aku nei, mamuli o ko lakou mau akuakii; e halihali no lakou i ko lakou hewa.
And the Levites that are gone away far from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray away from me after their idols; they shall even bear their iniquity.
11 Aka, e lilo lakou i poe lawelawe maloko o kuu wahi hoano, e malama ana i na puka o kuu hale, e lawelawe ana no ka hale; e pepehi lakou i ka mohaikuni a me ka alana no na kanaka, a e ku lakou imua o ko lakou alo e lawelawe na lakou.
Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having charge at the gates of the house, and ministering to the house: they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister unto them.
12 No ka mea, ua lawelawe ia mau mea no lakou mamua o ko lakou poe akuakii, a hoohaule lakou i ka ohana a Iseraela i ka hewa; nolaila ua hapai ku e au i kuu lima ia lakou, wahi a Iehova ka Haku, a e halihali lakou i ko lakou hewa.
Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I lifted up mine hand against them, saith the Lord God, and they shall bear their iniquity.
13 Aole hoi lakou e hele kokoke ia'u e hana i ka oihana kahuna no'u, aole hoi e hookokoke i na mea hoano o'u ma kahi hoano loa; aka, e halihali lakou i ko lakou hoinoia, a me ko lakou mau mea inainaia a lakou i hana'i.
And they shall not come near unto me, to do the office of a priest unto me, nor 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 Aka, e hoolilo au ia lakou i mau mea malama i ka oihana o na hale, no ko laila lawelawe ana a pau, a no ka mea a pau e hanaia maloko olaila.
But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.
15 Aka, o na kahuna na mamo a Levi, na keiki a Zadoka, na mea i malama i ka oihana o kuu wahi hoano, i ka wa i auwana aku ai na mamo a Iseraela mai o'u aku nei, e hele kokoke mai lakou ia'u, e lawelawe na'u, a e ku lakou ma ko'u alo, e kaumaha mai no'u i ke kaikea a me ke koko, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord God:
16 E komo no lakou iloko o kuu wahi hoano, a e hookokoke mai lakou i ko'u papa, i lawelawe na'u, a e malama no hoi lakou i ka'u oihana.
They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge.
17 A o keia hoi, i ko lakou komo ana'e maloko ma na ipuka o ka pahale iloko, e hookomo lakou i na kapa komo olona; aole e kau mai ka huluhulu maluna o lakou, i ka wa e lawelawe ai lakou ma na ipuka o ka pahale loko, a maloko ae.
And it shall come to pass, 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, whiles they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.
18 E papale lakou i na papale hainaka olona ma ko lakou mau poo, a e hookomo i na lole wawae olona ma ko lakou mau puhaka: aole lakou e kaei ia lakou iho me ka mea hookahe i ka hou.
They shall have linen bonnets upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with any thing that causeth sweat.
19 A puka ae lakou i ka pahale mawaho, i ka pahale mawaho i na kanaka, e hemo ia lakou na kapa komo i lawelawe ai lakou, a e waiho ae ia mau mea ma na keena hoano, a e hookomo i na kapa komo e ae; aole hoi lakou e hoolaa i na kanaka me ko lakou mau kapa komo.
And when they go forth into the utter court, even into the utter court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they ministered, and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on other garments; and they shall not sanctify the people with their garments.
20 Aole hoi lakou e kahi me ka pahi i ko lakou mau poo, aole hoi e waiho i ko lakou mau wili lauoh'o e ulu a loloa; aka, e ako wale no lakou i ko lakou mau poo.
Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only poll their heads.
21 Aole hoi e inu kekahi kahuna i ka waina i ko lakou komo ana i ka pahale maloko.
Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter into the inner court.
22 Aole lakou e mare i ka wahinekanemake i wahine na lakou, aole hoi i ka wahine hemo; aka, o na wahine puupaa ka lakou e lawe ai no na mamo o ka ohana a Iseraela, a o ka wahine paha a ke kahuna mamua.
Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away: but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that had a priest before.
23 A e ao aku lakou i kuu poe kanaka i ka like ole o ka mea hoano a me ka haumia, a hana hoi e hookaawale lakou iwaena o ka mea maemae, a me ka maemae ole.
And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
24 A i ka hakaka ana, e ku lakou ma ka hooponopono; a e hooponopono lakou ia mamuli o ko'u mau kanawai: a e malama hoi lakou i ko'u mau kanawai, a me ka'u mau kauoha, ma ko'u mau anaina a pau; a e hoano no hoi lakou i ko'u mau Sabati.
And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; and they shall judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my sabbaths.
25 Aole lakou e hele i ke kupapau e hoohaumia ia lakou iho: aka, no ka makuakane, a no ka makuwahine, a me ke keikikane a me ke kaikamahine, a me ka hoahanau kane, a me ke kaikuwahine kane ole, e hiki no ke hoohaumia ia lakou iho.
And they shall come at 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 A mahope o kona hoomaemaeia, e helu lakou i na la ehiku nona.
And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him seven days.
27 A i ka la e komo ai oia iloko o kahi hoano, iloko o ka pahale iloko, e lawelawe maloko o kahi hoano, e kaumaha no oia i kana mohailawehala, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, unto the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, saith the Lord God.
28 A e lilo ia i hooilina no lakou; owau no ko lakou hooilina; aole oukou e haawi ia lakou i waiwai iloko o ka Iseraela: owau no ko lakou waiwai.
And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I am their inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Israel: I am their possession.
29 O ka mohai ai, a me ka mohailawehala, a me ka mohaihala, ka lakou e ai ai; a o na mea laa a pau iloko o ka Iseraela, no lakou no ia.
They shall eat the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs.
30 A o ka mua o na hua mua a pau, o na mea a pau, a me na alana o na mea a pau, o kela alana keia alana a oukou, no ua kahuna no ia; a e haawi oukou na ke kahuna i ka mua o ko oukou palaoa kawili, i bookau mai oia i ka hoomaikai ana maloko o kou hale.
And the first of all the firstfruits of all things, and every oblation of all, of every sort of your oblations, shall be the priest’s: ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest in thine house.
31 A o ka mea make wale, a i haehaeia paha, o ka manu, a o ka holoholona, aole e ai ke kahuna.
The priests shall not eat of any thing that is dead of itself, or torn, whether it be fowl or beast.
