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 first month, on the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, on the selfsame day the hand of Jehovah was upon me, and he brought me [[thither into the city]].
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 he brought me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, upon which was, as it were, the frame of a city toward 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 when he had brought me thither, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was as 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 to me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes and hear with thine ears, and give heed to all which I shall show thee; for to the intent that I might show them to thee art thou brought hither; declare all which 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, in length six cubits of a cubit and a handbreadth; and he measured the breadth of the wall, 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 to the gate, which looked toward the east, and went up the steps thereof, and measured the upper threshold of the gate, one reed broad, and the other threshold of the gate 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 chamber was one reed long, and one reed broad; and between the chambers were five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within was one reed.
8 O jikwa ihe ọtụtụ tụọ ebe mpụta ọnụ ụlọ nke ọnụ ụzọ ama,
He measured also the porch of the gate within, 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 he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the border thereof, two cubits; now 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 eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure, and the projecting wall-pillars were of 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 entry 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.
There was also a space before the chambers one cubit on this side, and a space one cubit on that side; and every chamber was 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.
Then he measured the gate from the roof of one chamber to the roof of another; the breadth was five and twenty cubits, and door was over 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 wall-pillars sixty cubits, and toward the pillars, was the court of the gate round about on every side.
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 front of the gate of the entrance to the front of the porch of the inner 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 closed windows to the chambers and to their wall-pillars inward toward the gate round about, and likewise to the cornices; there were windows round about within, and upon the wall-pillars 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 he brought me into the outer court, and behold, there were rooms, and a pavement made for the court round about; thirty rooms 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 at the sides of the gates, by the length of the gates, was 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 front of the lower gate to the front of the inner court without, a hundred cubits toward the east and toward the north.
20 Ọ tụrụ ogologo na obosara ọnụ ụzọ nke dị nʼugwu, nke e si abanye nʼogige dị nʼezi.
And as for the gate that looked toward the north in the outer court, 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 chambers thereof were three on this side, and three on that side. And the border thereof, and the cornices thereof, were of the same measure as the former 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 cornices thereof, and the palm-trees thereof were of the same measure as the gate which looked toward the east, and they went up to it by seven steps, and the cornices 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 the gate of the inner court was over against the gate toward the north and east. 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.
Then he led me toward the south; and behold, there was a gate toward the south; and he measured the border thereof and the cornices thereof according to those 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 within the cornices 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 cornices thereof were before them; and it had palm-trees, one on this side and another on that side, upon the wall-pillars 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 in 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.
And he brought me to the inner court through the south gate; and he measured the south gate according to the same 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 thereof, and the border thereof, and the cornices thereof were according to those measures. And there were windows in it, and within the cornices thereof, round about; it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
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 cornices round about were five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad.
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.
And the cornices thereof were toward the outer court; and palm-trees were upon the wall-pillars thereof; and in going up to it there were 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 to the inner court toward the east; and he measured the gate according to those 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 thereof, and the border thereof, and the cornices thereof, were according to those measures; and there were windows in it, and in the cornices thereof, round about; the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty 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 the cornices thereof were toward the outer court; and palm-trees were upon the wall-pillars thereof, on this side and on that side; and in going up to it there were 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 measured it according to those 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
the chambers thereof, and the border thereof, and the cornices thereof; and there were windows to it, round about; the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty 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 the cornices thereof were toward the outer court; and palm-trees were upon the wall-pillars thereof, on this side and on that side; and in going up to it there were 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 room with its doors was by the borders of the gates, where they washed the burnt-offering.
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 trespass-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 at the side without, as one goeth up to the entrance of the north gate, were two tables; and on the other side, which was at 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; on the other side of the gate eight tables, whereon they slew their 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. Obosara elu ha nʼakụkụ niile dị iri sentimita ise na atọ. Ngwongwo niile e ji egbu anụ e ji achụ aja na-adị nʼelu tebul ndị a.
And the four tables for the burnt-offering were of hewn stone; their length was a cubit and a half, and their breadth a cubit and a half, and their height a cubit. Thereon they laid the instruments with which they slew the burnt-offering and the sacrifice.
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 there were edging-boards of a handbreadth, prepared within round about; and upon the tables was 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 rooms for the singers in the inner court; they were 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 to me, This room, whose prospect is toward 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 room whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests that keep the charge of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, who, among the sons of Levi, come near to Jehovah to minister to 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.
Then he measured the court; its length was a hundred cubits, and its breadth a hundred cubits, being square. And the altar stood 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. Ebe mbata ya ruru mita asaa na ụma anọ nʼobosara, ebe akụkụ aja ụlọ ahụ ruru otu mita na ụma isii nʼobosara, nʼotu akụkụ nakwa nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ ya.
Then he brought me to the porch of the temple, and he measured the door-border 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 they went up to it by steps. And there were columns by the door-border, one on this side, and another on that side.
