1 Nʼafọ nke iri abụọ na ise nke e mere ka anyị biri na mba ọzọ, na mbido afọ ahụ, nʼụbọchị nke iri, nke ọnwa ahụ nʼafọ nke iri na anọ site na mgbe obodo ahụ dara, nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ ka aka Onyenwe anyị dịkwasịrị m nʼahụ. O mere ka m bịa nʼebe ahụ.

In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day, the hand of the LORD was upon me, and He brought me thither.

2 Nʼọhụ dị iche iche Chineke mere ka m hụ, o buuru m gaa nʼala Izrel, debe m nʼelu ugwu dị elu nke ukwu, ebe m nọ hụ ihe dịka obodo a na-ewu ọhụrụ, nke dị nʼakụkụ ndịda ugwu ahụ.

In the visions of God brought He me into the land of Israel, and set me down upon a very high mountain, whereon was as it were the frame of a city on the south.

3 O mere ka m bịaruo nʼebe ahụ, ma lee, ahụrụ m otu nwoke nke ụdịdị ya na-enwu dịka bronz ka o guzo nʼakụkụ ọnụ ụzọ ama. Ọ na-ejide eriri akwa ọcha, na osisi e ji atụ ihe nʼaka ya.

And He brought me thither, and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.

4 Nwoke ahụ sịrị m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, lezie anya nke ọma, gekwaa ntị tinyekwa ihe niile m gaje igosi gị nʼobi, nʼihi na-akpọtara m gị nʼebe a nʼihi ka ịhụ ihe ndị a. Gwakwa ụmụ Izrel ihe niile ị hụrụ.”

And the man said unto me: 'Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thy heart upon all that I shall show thee, for to the intent that I might show them unto thee art thou brought thither; declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.'

5 Mgbe ahụ, ahụrụ m mgbidi gbara ụlọnsọ ahụ gburugburu. Ịdị ogologo nke osisi ihe ọtụtụ nke dị nʼaka nwoke ahụ, ruru mita atọ na ụma abụọ, nke ọbụla nʼime ha ruru iri sentimita ise na atọ. Ọ tụrụ mgbidi ahụ, chọpụta na ịla elu ya dị mita atọ na ọkara. Ịsa mbara ya dịkwa mita atọ na ọkara.

And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits long, of a cubit and a hand-breadth each; so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed, and the height, one reed.

6 Emesịa, ọ gara nʼọnụ ụzọ ahụ chere ihu nʼọwụwa anyanwụ, rigoro nʼihe nrigo elu, tụọ ala ala ụzọ mbata nke ọnụ ụzọ ahụ. Obosara ya dị mita atọ na ọkara.

Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east, and went up the steps thereof; and he measured the jamb of the gate, one reed broad, and the other jamb, one reed broad.

7 Oghere dị nʼụlọ ahụ nke bụ ebe ndị nche na-anọ dị mita atọ nʼọkara nʼobosara. Mgbidi dị nʼetiti ha dị mita abụọ na ụma asaa nʼigbidi. Ebe e si abata na mpụta ọnụ ụzọ ama nke chere ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ ihu, dị mita atọ nʼọkara nʼomimi.

And every cell was one reed long, and one reed broad; and the space between the cells was five cubits; and the jambs of the gate by the porch of the gate within were one reed.

8 O jikwa ihe ọtụtụ tụọ ebe mpụta ọnụ ụlọ nke ọnụ ụzọ ama,

He measured also the porch of the gate toward the house, one reed.

9 ọ dị mita anọ na ụma abụọ nʼomimi. Ogidi dị nʼakụkụ ya dị otu mita nʼigbidi. Ebe mpụta ọnụ ụlọ nke ụzọ ama ya chere ihu nʼụlọnsọ ukwu.

Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was inward.

10 Nʼime ọnụ ụzọ ama nke ọwụwa anyanwụ, e nwere oghere atọ dị nʼakụkụ ọbụla, oghere atọ ndị ahụ ha nʼotu. Ihu akụkụ aja ya niile nke chere ha ihu bụkwa otu nʼọtụtụ.

And the cells of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure; and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side.

11 Mgbe ahụ, ọ tụrụ obosara nke mbata ọnụ ụzọ ama ahụ, ọ dị mita ise na ụma atọ nʼobosara, na mita isii na ụma itoolu nʼogologo.

And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits;

12 Nʼihu oghere niile nke ụlọ ahụ e nwere mgbidi dị otu ọkara mita nʼịdị elu ya. Akụkụ anọ nke oghere ndị a ha otu. Ha ruru mita atọ mita atọ.

and a border before the cells, one cubit on this side, and a border, one cubit on that side; and the cells, six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.

13 Mgbe ahụ, ọ tụrụ obosara ọnụ ụzọ ama ahụ, site nʼelu ụlọ nke otu ime ụlọ ruo nʼelu ụlọ nke ime ụlọ chere ya ihu; obosara ya dị mita iri na atọ, site nʼotu oghere ruo nʼoghere nke chere ya ihu.

And he measured the gate from the roof of the one cell to the roof of the other, a breadth of five and twenty cubits; door against door.

14 Ọ tụrụ ogologo ogidi niile dị nʼakụkụ nʼime mgbidi ọnụ ụzọ ama ụlọ ahụ, chọpụta na ọ dị iri mita atọ na abụọ, ọ bụladị ruo nʼakụkụ mgbidi nke chere ihu nʼọnụ ụzọ ama ogige ahụ.

He made also posts of threescore cubits; even unto the posts of the court in the gates round about.

15 Site nʼihu ọnụ ụzọ ama mbata ahụ, ruo nʼebe ngwụcha nke ọnụ ụzọ dị na mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ya dị iri mita abụọ na asaa.

And from the forefront of the gate of the entrance unto the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were fifty cubits.

16 Ọnụ ụlọ ndị ahụ niile nwere oghereikuku dị warawara nʼakụkụ aja ụlọ ha, dịka mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ahụ nwekwara; oghereikuku ndị a dị gburugburu dị nʼime, nʼetiti ọnụ ụlọ ndị a. Nʼaja ụlọ ndị a niile, e nwere oyiyi nkwụ dị iche iche e sere nʼelu ha.

And there were narrow windows to the cells and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches; and windows were round about inward; and upon each post were palm-trees.

17 Ọ kpọbatara m nʼogige dị nʼezi. Nʼebe ahụ, ahụrụ m ụfọdụ ọnụụlọ dị na pevumentị e wunyere gburugburu ogige ahụ niile. Ha dị iri ọnụụlọ atọ dị nʼogologo pevumentị ahụ.

Then brought he me into the outer court, and, lo, there were chambers and a pavement, made for the court round about; thirty chambers were upon the pavement.

18 Ebe nzọkwasị ụkwụ a gara ogologo ruo nʼakụkụ ọnụ ụzọ ama, ogologo ya na ọnụ ụzọ ama ahụ ha, nke a bụ pevumentị nke dịkarịrị ala.

And the pavement was by the side of the gates, corresponding unto the length of the gates, even the lower pavement.

19 Mgbe ahụ, ọ tụrụ ịdị ogologo ya, site nʼime ọnụ ụzọ ama nke dịkarịrị ala ruo nʼọnụ ụzọ nke ime ogige, o ruru iri mita ise na atọ nʼakụkụ ihu anyanwụ nakwa nʼakụkụ ugwu.

Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate unto the forefront of the inner court without, a hundred cubits, eastward as also northward.

20 Ọ tụrụ ogologo na obosara ọnụ ụzọ nke dị nʼugwu, nke e si abanye nʼogige dị nʼezi.

And the gate of the outer court that looked toward the north, he measured the length thereof and the breadth thereof.

21 Ime ụlọ ya dị ọnụ ụlọ atọ nʼakụkụ ya ọbụla. Akụkụ aja na mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ya, bụ otu ọtụtụ dịka ọtụtụ nke ọnụ ụzọ ama mbụ. Ịdị ogologo ya dị iri mita abụọ na asaa, ebe obosara ya dị mita iri na atọ.

And the cells thereof were three on this side and three on that side; and the posts thereof and the arches thereof were after the measure of the first gate; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.

22 Oghereikuku ya, mpụta ọnụ ụzọ ya na osisi nkwụ e sere nʼahụ aja ụlọ ahụ niile, dịka e mere nʼakụkụ ọnụ ụzọ ama nke na-eche ihu nʼọwụwa anyanwụ, bụ otu ọtụtụ. Ihe nrigo nwere nzọ ụkwụ asaa dị nke e si aga na mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ahụ na ncherita ihu ogige ezi.

And the windows thereof, and the arches thereof, and the palm-trees thereof, were after the measure of the gate that looketh toward the east; and it was ascended by seven steps; and the arches thereof were before them.

23 Otu ọnụ ụzọ dị nke gara nʼogige dị nʼime, nke chere ihu ọnụ ụzọ mbata dị nʼugwu, dịka ọ dịkwa nʼakụkụ nke ọwụwa anyanwụ. Ọ tụrụ site nʼotu ọnụ ụzọ ama ruo na nke chere ya ihu, ọ dị iri mita ise na anọ.

And there was a gate to the inner court over against the other gate, northward as also eastward; and he measured from gate to gate a hundred cubits.

24 Mgbe ahụ, o duuru m gaa nʼakụkụ ndịda, a hụrụ m ọnụ ụzọ mbata ndịda. Ọ tụrụ tụọ akụkụ ogidi ọnụ ụzọ ahụ na mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ya, chọpụta na ya na ndị ọzọ bụ otu ọtụtụ.

And he led me toward the south, and behold a gate toward the south; and he measured the posts thereof, and the arches thereof according to these measures.

25 Ọnụ ụzọ ama ya na mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ya nwere oghereikuku dị warawara gbaa gburugburu, dịka e nwere na ndị ọzọ niile. Ịdị ogologo ya dị iri mita abụọ na asaa, ebe obosara ya dị mita iri na atọ

And there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about, like those windows; the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.

26 Ihe nrigo nwere nzọ ụkwụ asaa dịkwa iji rigoo ya, mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ya dịkwa na ncherita ihu ha, o nwekwara ihe ịchọ mma osisi nkwụ e sere nʼahụ akụkụ aja ahụ, otu nʼotu akụkụ, nke ọzọ nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ.

And there were seven steps to go up to it, and the arches thereof were before them; and it had palm-trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon the posts thereof.

27 Ogige nke dị nʼime, nwekwara ọnụ ụzọ ama nke na-echere ihu na ndịda. Ọ tụrụ site nʼotu ọnụ ụzọ ama ruo na nke chere ya ihu, ọ dị iri mita ise na anọ.

And there was a gate to the inner court toward the south; and he measured from gate to gate toward the south a hundred cubits.

28 O duuru m site nʼọnụ ụzọ dị na ndịda banye nʼogige dị nʼime. Ọ tụrụ ọnụ ụzọ mbata a hụ na ya na ọnụ ụzọ nke dị ọzọ bụ otu ọtụtụ.

Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate; and he measured the south gate according to these measures;

29 Nʼọnụ ụlọ ya niile, nʼakụkụ aja ya niile, na mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ya bụkwa otu ọtụtụ dịka ndị ọzọ niile. Ọnụ ụzọ ama ya na mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ya nwere oghere gbaa gburugburu. Ịdị ogologo ya dị iri mita abụọ na asaa, ebe obosara ya dị mita iri na atọ.

30 Mpụta ọnụ ụlọ nke ndị dị gburugburu ogige nke ime, dị iri mita na atọ nʼobosara, na mita abụọ na ụma atọ nʼịdị omimi.

And there were arches round about, five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad.

And the arches thereof were toward the outer court; and palm-trees were upon the posts thereof; and the going up to it had eight steps.

32 Ọ kpọbatakwara m nʼogige dị nʼime site nʼọnụ ụzọ mbata nke ọwụwa anyanwụ. Ọ tụkwara ọnụ ụzọ ama ahụ, chọpụta na ya na ndị ọzọ bụkwa otu ọtụtụ.

And he brought me into the inner court toward the east; and he measured the gate according to these measures;

33 Nʼọnụ ụlọ ya niile, nʼakụkụ aja ya niile, na mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ya niile bụkwa otu ọtụtụ dịka ndị ọzọ niile. Ọnụ ụzọ ama ya na mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ya nwere oghere gbaa gburugburu. Ịdị ogologo ya dị iri mita abụọ na asaa, ebe obosara ya dị mita iri na atọ.

And the arches thereof were toward the outer court; and palm-trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side; and the going up to it had eight steps.

35 O mere ka m bịaruo nʼọnụ ụzọ ama mbata nke ugwu. Ọ tụrụ ya, chọpụta na ọtụtụ ya dịkwa ka nke ndị ọzọ,

And he brought me to the north gate; and he measured it according to these measures;

And the posts thereof were toward the outer court; and palm-trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side; and the going up to it had eight steps.

38 Otu ọnụụlọ nke nwere ọnụ ụzọ dịkwa nʼakụkụ mpụta ọnụ ụlọ nke ime ime ọnụ ụzọ ama ọbụla, ebe a na anọ asacha anụ aja nsure ọkụ niile.

And a chamber with the entry thereof was by the posts at the gates; there was the burnt-offering to be washed.

39 Nʼime mpụta ọnụ ụlọ nke ọnụ ụzọ ama, ka tebul abụọ dị nʼotu akụkụ, abụọ nke ọzọ dịkwa nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ nke ọnụ ụlọ ahụ. Nʼelu ha ka a na-egbu anụ e ji achụ aja nsure ọkụ, maọbụ aja mmehie, maọbụ onyinye nʼihi aja ikpe ọmụma.

And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slay thereon the burnt-offering and the sin-offering and the guilt-offering.

40 Nʼakụkụ mgbidi ezi nke mpụta ọnụ ụlọ nke ọnụ ụzọ ama, nʼakụkụ ihe nrigo nke dị na mbata ọnụ ụzọ ugwu, e nwere tebul abụọ, nʼakụkụ nke ọzọkwa nke ihe nrigo ahụ, e nwekwara tebul abụọ nʼebe ahụ.

And on the one side without, as one goeth up to the entry of the gate toward the north, were two tables; and on the other side of the porch of the gate were two tables.

41 Ya mere, e nwere tebul anọ nʼotu akụkụ ihe nrigo ahụ, nwekwa anọ nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ ya, ya bụ, tebul asatọ ma agụkọta ya ọnụ, ebe a na-anọ egbu anụ e ji achụ aja.

Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon to slay the sacrifices.

42 E nwekwara tebul anọ ndị ọzọ nʼime ọnụ ụlọ ahụ e ji nkume a wara awa wuo. Nʼelu ya ka a na-anọ akwado anụ a ga-eji chụọ aja nsure ọkụ. Ịdị elu tebul ndị a bụ iri sentimita asatọ.

Moreover there were four tables for the burnt-offering, of hewn stone, a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high, whereupon to lay the instruments wherewith the burnt-offering and the sacrifice are slain.

43 E ji nko nke ịdị ogologo ya dị sentimita itoolu ejigidesi tebul ndị ahụ ike nʼahụ aja ụlọ. Nko ndị a dị gburugburu tebul ndị ahụ. Ọ bụkwa nʼelu tebul ndị a ka a na-edebe anụ niile e ji enye onyinye.

And the slabs, a handbreadth long, were fastened within round about; and upon the tables was to be the flesh of the offering.

44 Nʼime ogige dị nʼime, e nwere ọnụụlọ abụọ nke nwere ụzọ e si abanye nʼogige dị nʼime. Otu dị nʼakụkụ ọnụ ụzọ ama dị nʼugwu, chee ihu nʼọdịda anyanwụ, nke ọzọ dị nʼakụkụ ọnụ ụzọ ama dị nʼọdịda anyanwụ, chee ihu nʼugwu.

And without the inner gate were chambers for the guard in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate, and their prospect was toward the south; one at the side of the east gate having the prospect toward the north.

45 Ọ gwara m, “Ọnụụlọ ahụ dị nʼakụkụ ọnụ ụzọ ama dị nʼugwu bụ nke ndị nchụaja, ndị na-eje ozi nʼụlọnsọ ukwu.

And he said unto me: 'This chamber, whose prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house.

46 Ọnụụlọ nke dị nʼakụkụ ọnụ ụzọ ama chere ihu nʼugwu, bụ nke ndị nchụaja ndị na-eche ebe ịchụ aja nche. Ndị a bụ ụmụ ụmụ Zadọk. Ọ bụ naanị ha ka e kwere ka ha nwee ike ịbịaru Onyenwe anyị nso, ijere ya ozi site nʼetiti ebo Livayị niile.”

And the chamber whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar; these are the sons of Zadok, who from among the sons of Levi come near to the LORD to minister unto Him.'

47 Mgbe ahụ, ọ tụrụ ogige ime ahụ, chọpụta na ogologo ya dị iri mita ise na asatọ. Obosara ya bụkwa otu ihe ahụ. Ebe ịchụ aja dịkwa nʼihu ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.

And he measured the court, a hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar was before the house.

48 O mere ka m bịaruo na mpụta ọnụ ụlọ nke ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, ọ tụrụ akụkụ ogidi ọnụ ụzọ nke mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ahụ, o ruru mita abụọ na ụma atọ nʼobosara, nʼakụkụ ya abụọ.

Then he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side; and the breadth of the gate was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side.

49 Ebe mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ahụ dị ihe ruru mita iri na otu nʼobosara, sitekwa nʼazụ ruo nʼihu ya ruru mita isii na ụma anọ. Ọ bụ ihe nrigo iri ka eji arịgo ya. Ogidi dịkwa nʼakụkụ ọnụ ụzọ abụọ ahụ otu nʼakụkụ nke a ọzọ nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ ya.

The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; and it was by steps that it was ascended; and there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
