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.
And he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary which looked toward the east: and it was locked.
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 remain locked, 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 shall it remain locked.
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.
As for the prince, being the prince, he shall sit in it to eat bread before the Lord: by the way of the porch of that gate shall he enter, and by the way of the same shall he go out.
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 by 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, direct thy mind, and see with thy eyes, and hear with thy ears all that I am speaking with thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of the Lord, and of all its laws; and direct thy mind to the entrance of the house, with every place of egress 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, to the house of Israel, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Ye have done enough with all your abominations, O house of Israel!
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 your having brought the sons of the stranger, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house, while you were offering my food, the fat and the blood: so that they broke 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 [because] ye have not kept the charge of my holy things; but ye have set [those unworthy ones] as keepers of my charge in my sanctuary at your own pleasure.
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 hath said the Lord Eternal, No son of the stranger, uncircumcised in heart, or uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of all the sons of the stranger that are in the midst of 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.
But as respecteth the Levites that were gone away far from me, when Israel went astray, who went astray away from me, after their idols, they shall surely 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.
And they shall be in my sanctuary, servants, appointed to watch at the gates of the house, and to be servants for the house: these are they that shall slay the burnt-offerings and the sacrifices for the people, and they shall stand before them to do the service for 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 that they used to serve them before their idols, and have been unto the house of Israel as a stumbling-block of iniquity; therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, saith the Lord Eternal, 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 officiate as priests unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, to the most holy things; but they shall bear their shame, yea, for 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.
And I will appoint them to be 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, —these are they that shall come near unto me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord Eternal:
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.
These are they that shall enter into my sanctuary, and these 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 clothe themselves with linen garments; and there shall no wool come upon them, when they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within the house.
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.
Linen bonnets shall be upon their heads, and linen breeches shall be 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 outer court, into the outer court to the people: then shall they put off their garments wherein they have ministered, and they shall lay them down in the holy chambers; and they shall put on other garments, and they shall not mingle among 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.
And their heads shall they not shave close, nor suffer their hair to grow long: they shall only crop [the hair of] their heads.
21 Aole hoi e inu kekahi kahuna i ka waina i ko lakou komo ana i ka pahale maloko.
And wine shall none of the priests drink 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.
And a widow, or one that is divorced from her husband shall they not take to themselves as wives; but only virgins of the seed of the house of Israel; but whatever widow it may be, the [common] priests may take.
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 my people shall they teach the difference between the holy and profane, and that between the unclean and the clean shall they make known unto them.
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 a controversy shall they stand up to judge, according to my ordinances shall they decide it: and my laws and my statutes at all my festivals shall they observe, and my sabbaths shall they sanctify.
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 to a dead person shall they not come to defile themselves; but on father, or on mother, or on son, or on daughter, on brother, or on sister that hath had no husband, may they defile themselves.
26 A mahope o kona hoomaemaeia, e helu lakou i na la ehiku nona.
And after he is become clean, —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.
Then shall he on the day that he cometh into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, offer his sin-offering, saith the Lord Eternal.
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 as an inheritance, I am their inheritance: and any possession shall you not give them 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.
The meat-offering, and the sin-offering, and the trespass-offering—these shall they eat; and every devoted thing in Israel shall belong to them.
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 kinds of first-fruits of all, and every kind of heave-offering of every thing of all your heave-offerings, shall belong to the priests; and the first of your dough shall you give to the priest, to cause a blessing to rest on thy house.
31 A o ka mea make wale, a i haehaeia paha, o ka manu, a o ka holoholona, aole e ai ke kahuna.
Any thing that hath died of itself, or that is torn, whether it be fowl or beast, shall the priests not eat.
