And it came to pass in the twenty-fifth year of our captivity, in the first month, on the tenth [day] of the month, in the fourteenth year after the taking of the city, in that day the hand of the Lord was upon me, and brought me
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 a vision of God into the land of Israel, and set me on a very high mountain, and upon it [there was] as it were the frame of a city before [me].
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 in there, and, behold, [there was] a man, and the appearance of him was as the appearance of shining brass, and in his hand was a builder's line, and a measuring reed; and he stood at 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 to me, Look with your eyes at him whom you have seen, son of man, and hear with your ears, and lay up in your heart all things that I show you; for you have come in hither that [I] might show you, and you shall show all things that you see 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 round about the house without, and in the man's hand a reed, the measure [of it was] six cubits by the cubit, and a span: and he measured across the front wall; the breadth was equal to the reed, and the length of it equal to the 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.
And he entered by seven steps into the gate that looks eastward, and he measured across the porch of the gate equal to the reed.
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 the chamber was equal in length to the reed, and equal in breadth to the reed; and the porch between the chambers six cubits; and the second chamber equal in breadth to the reed, and equal in length to the reed, and the porch five cubits.
8 O jikwa ihe ọtụtụ tụọ ebe mpụta ọnụ ụlọ nke ọnụ ụzọ ama,
And the third chamber equal in length to the reed, and equal in breadth to the 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.
And the porch of the gateway (near the porch of the gate) eight cubits; and the posts there of 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 chambers of the gate of the chamber in front [were] three on one side and three on the other, and [there was] one measure to the three: [there was] one measure to the porches on this side and on that.
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 door of the gateway, ten cubits; and the breadth of the gateway 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 the space before the chambers was narrowed to a cubit in front of the chambers on this side and on that side: and the chamber was six cubits this way, and six cubits that way.
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 wall of one chamber to the wall of the other chamber: the breadth was twenty-five cubits, the one gate over against the other gate.
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.
And the open space of the porch of the gate without, was twenty cubits to the chambers round about the gate.
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 the open space of the gate without to the open space of the porch of the gate within was 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] secret windows to the chambers, and to the porches within the gate of the court round about, and in the same manner windows to the porches round about within: and on the porch [there were] palm-trees on this side and on that side.
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.
And he brought me into the inner court, and, behold, [there were] chambers, and peristyles round about the court; thirty chambers within the ranges of columns.
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 porticos were behind the gates; according to the length of the gates, was the lower peristyle.
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.
And he measured the breadth of the court, from the open space of the outer gate inwards to the open space of the gate looking outwards: a hundred cubits [was the distance to the place] of the gate looking eastward: and he brought me to the north;
20 Ọ tụrụ ogologo na obosara ọnụ ụzọ nke dị nʼugwu, nke e si abanye nʼogige dị nʼezi.
and behold a gate looking northwards [belonging to] the outer court, and he measured it, both the length of it and the breadth;
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 chambers, three on this side and three on that; and the posts, and the porches, and the palm-trees thereof: and they were according to the measures of the gate that looks eastward: the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof was twenty-five 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 its windows, and its porches, and its palm-trees, were according to [the dimensions of] the gate looking eastward; and they went up to it by seven steps; and the porches were within.
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 looking toward the north gate, after the manner of the gate looking toward the east; and he measured the court 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 brought me to the south side, and behold a gate looking southwards: and he measured it, and its chambers, and its posts, and its porches, according to these dimensions.
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 its windows and its porches round about were according to the windows of the porch: the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof was 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 it had seven steps, and porches within: and it [had] palm-trees on the posts, one on one side, and one on the other side.
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 opposite the gate of the inner court southward: and he measured the court from gate to gate, a hundred cubits in breadth southward.
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.
And he brought me into the inner court of the south gate: and he measured the 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.
and the chambers, and the posts,
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 the porches, according to these measures: and [there were] windows to it and to the porches round about: its length was fifty cubits, and [its] breadth twenty-five cubits,
31 Mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ya chere ihu nʼogige dị nʼezi, oyiyi osisi nkwụ ka eji chọọ ogidi ọnụ ụlọ ahụ mma, ihe nrigo nwere nzọ ụkwụ asatọ ka eji arịgo ya.
from the porch to the outer court: and [there were] palm-trees to the post [thereof], and 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 in at the gate that looks eastward: and he measured it 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 chambers, and the posts, and the porches according to these measures: and [there were] windows to it, and porches round about: the length of it was fifty cubits, and the breadth of it twenty-five cubits.
34 Mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ya chere ihu nʼogige dị nʼezi. Oyiyi nkwụ e sere ese ka eji chọọ akụkụ ogidi ọnụ ụzọ ya mma, nʼakụkụ nke a, nakwa nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ. Ihe nrigo nwere nzọ ụkwụ asatọ ka eji arịgo ya.
And [there were] porches [opening] into the inner court, and palm-trees on the posts on this side and on that side: and 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 in at the northern gate, and measured [it] according to these measures;
36 dịka ọnụ ụlọ ya niile, nʼakụkụ aja ya niile, na mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ya, ha niile nwere oghere gbaa gburugburu. Ịdị ogologo ya dị iri mita abụọ na asaa, ebe obosara ya dị mita iri na atọ
and the chambers, and the posts, and the porches: and it [had] windows round about, and [it had] its porches: the length of it was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits.
37 Mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ya chere ihu nʼogige dị nʼezi. Oyiyi nkwụ e sere ese ka eji chọọ akụkụ ogidi ọnụ ụzọ ya mma, nʼakụkụ nke a, nakwa nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ. Ihe nrigo nwere nzọ ụkwụ asatọ ka eji arịgo ya.
And its porches were toward the inner court; and [there were] palm-trees to the posts on this side and on that side: and 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.
Its chambers and its door-ways, and its porches at the second gate [served as] a drain,
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.
that they might kill in it the sin-offerings, and the trespass-offerings.
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 behind the drain for the whole burnt offerings at the north [gate], two tables eastward behind the second gate; and [behind] the porch of the gate two tables eastward.
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 on one side and four on the other side behind the gate; upon them they kill the victims, in front of the eight tables of 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.

And [there were] four tables of hewn stone for whole burnt offerings, the breadth [of them was] a cubit and a half, and the length [of them] two cubits [and] a half, and [their] height was a cubit: on them they shall place the instruments with which they kill there the whole burnt offerings and the victims.
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 they shall have within a border of hewn stone round about of a span broad, and over the tables above screens for covering [them] from the wet and from the heat.
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 he brought me into the inner court, and behold [there were] two chambers in the inner court, one behind the gate looking to the north, turning southward, and one behind the southern gate, but which looks to 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 to me, This chamber that looks to the south, is for the priests that keep 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 that looks to the north is for the priests that keep the charge of the altar: they are the sons of Sadduc, those of the tribe of Levi who draw near to the Lord to serve 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, the length [whereof was] a hundred cubits, and the breadth a hundred cubits, on its four sides; and the altar in front of 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.

And he brought me into the porch of the house; and he measured the post of the porch, the breadth was five cubits on one side and five cubits on the other side; and the breadth of the door [was] fourteen cubits, and the side-pieces of the door of the porch [were] three cubits on one side, and three cubits on the other 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.
And the length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth twelve cubits; and they went up to it by ten steps; and [there were] pillars to the porch, one on this side and one on that side.
