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 toward the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looked toward the east, —but, 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 Yahweh unto me This gate shut, shall remain It shall not be opened And no man shall enter thereby, Because Yahweh, God of Israel, doth enter thereby, - Therefore shall it remain—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.

The prince! as prince, he, shall sit therein, To eat food before Yahweh, — By way of the porch of the gate, shall he go in, and By way thereof, shall he come 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 he brought me in by way of the north gate unto the front of the house, and I looked and lo! the glory of Yahweh, filled the house of Yahweh, — so 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 Yahweh said unto me, Son of man Apply thy heart And see with thine eyes And with thine ears, hear thou All that I am speaking with thee, As to all the statutes of the house of Yahweh and As to all the laws thereof, - And thou shalt apply thy heart To the entering in of the house, With all the exits 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,

So then thou shalt say unto the perverse [house] unto the house of Israel, Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh: Let it more than suffice you Out of 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.

That ye brought in the sons of the foreigner Uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, To be in my sanctuary. So that he profaned my house, - That ye brought near as my food the fat and the blood, And so they brake my covenant—Among 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.

Neither kept ye the charge of my holy things, - But ye did set men to be keepers of my charge in my sanctuary, for 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 saith My Lord, Yahweh, No son of a foreigner Uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, —of any son of a foreigner, who is in the midst of the sons 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 for the Levites. Who went far from me, when Israel went astray. Who went astray from me, after their manufactured gods, Therefore shall they 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 shall they remain in my sanctuary As attendants in charge at the gates of the house, — And attending upon the house, — They shall slay the ascending-offering, and the sacrifice of the people, And they, shall stand before them to wait upon 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 used to wait upon them before their manufactured gods, and became to the house of Israel a stumbling-block of iniquity, For this cause have I lifted up my hand concerning them Declareth My Lord Yahweh, 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.

So then they shall not come near unto me To minister as priests unto me, Nor come near unto any of my holy things, As regardeth things most holy, — But they shall bear their rebuke, 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.

Yet will I make them keepers of the charge of the house, — As to all the labour thereof, and As to all which 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, Who kept the charge of my sanctuary— when the sons of Israel went astray from me, They shall draw near unto me to wait upon me, And shall stand before me, to bring near unto me the fat and the blood Declareth My Lord, Yahweh:

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 draw near unto my table to wait upon me, - So shall they 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 be when they shall enter into the gates of the inner court, Garments of linen, shall they put on, Yea there shall come upon them no wool, when 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.

Chaplets of linen, shall be upon their head, and Breeches of linen shall be upon their loins, — They shall not gird themselves, so as to perspire,

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 unto the people, They shall put off their garments, wherein they do minister, and lay them in the chambers of the holy place, - And shall put on other garments, That they may not hallow the people by 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, Nor let the hair 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.

And wine, shall no priest 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.

Neither widow nor divorced woman, shall they take to them to wife, — But, virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, Or a widow who shall be the widow of a priest shall they 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 instruct, between the holy and the common, — And between the unclean and the clean, shall they cause them to distinguish.

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, They shall stand up for justice, With my judgments, shall they judge it, And my laws and my statutes in all mine appointed assemblies, shall they observe, And my sabbaths, shall they hallow.

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 unto no dead person, shall they go in. to defile themselves, - Save that for father or for mother or for son or for daughter, for brother or for sister who hath belonged to no husband they may defile themselves.

26 A mahope o kona hoomaemaeia, e helu lakou i na la ehiku nona.

Yet after he is cleansed, seven days shall they count to him.

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 when he entereth into the sanctuary, into the inner court to minister in the sanctuary, He shall bring near his sin-bearer, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.

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.

So shall it become to them an inheritance, I, am their inheritance, - And possession, shall ye 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.

As for the meal-offering and the sin-bearer and the guilt-bearer, they shall eat them, —And everything devoted in Israel to them, shall belong.

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 everything, and every heave-offering of everything, from among all your heave-offerings to the priests, shall it belong, — The first of your meal, shall ye give to the priest, To cause a blessing to rest upon by house.

31 A o ka mea make wale, a i haehaeia paha, o ka manu, a o ka holoholona, aole e ai ke kahuna.

Nothing that died of itself or was torn in pieces, of bird or of beast shall be eaten by the priests.
