1 Nwoke ahụ duuru m gaa nʼakụkụ ugwu, banye nʼime ogige ahụ dị nʼezi, kpọbata m nʼime ọnụụlọ ndị ahụ dị na ncherita ihu nʼakụkụ ugwu nke ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.
And he brought me forth into the outer court, the way toward the north; and he brought me to the cells that were over against the separate place and which were over against the building, toward the north,
2 Ụlọ ahụ nke ọnụ ụzọ ya chere ihu nʼebe ugwu dị iri mita ise na atọ nʼogologo, ebe obosara ya dị iri mita abụọ na asaa.
before the length of the hundred cubits: the entry was on the north, and the breadth was fifty cubits,
3 Ma nʼakụkụ nke dị iri mita na otu, site nʼime ogige nakwa nʼakụkụ nke dị na ncherita ihu pevumentị nke ogige dị nʼezi, ebe njegharị chere ebe njegharị ọzọ ihu, nʼokpukpu atọ ahụ.
over against the twenty [cubits] that pertained to the inner court, and over against the pavement that pertained to the outer court; there was gallery against gallery in the third [story];
4 Nʼihu ọnụụlọ ndị a, e nwere ka ụzọ njegharị nke dị mita ise na ụma atọ nʼobosara, dịkwa iri mita ise na atọ nʼogologo. Ọnụ ụzọ ha niile chere ihu nʼugwu.
and before the cells was a walk of ten cubits in breadth, [and] a way of a hundred cubits inward; and their entries were toward the north.
5 Okpukpu ụlọ nke dị nʼelu asaghị mbara dịka nke dị nʼala, nʼihi na ebe njegharị ndị ahụ weere ọtụtụ oghere karịa ka ọ dị nʼọnụụlọ ndị dị okpukpu nke dị nʼala na nke etiti ụlọ ahụ.
And the upper cells, because the galleries encroached on them, were shorter than the lower, and than the middle-most of the building.
6 Ebe a na-ejighị ogidi wuo ụlọ a, dịka e si wuo ndị dị nʼogige, nke a mere ka ụlọ ndị dị nʼelu na-akpa nkpa karịa ndị nke dị nʼala, na ndị dị nʼetiti.
For they were in three [stories], but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts; therefore [the third story] was straitened more than the lowest and the middle-most from the ground.
7 E nwere mgbidi aja nke dị nʼezi nʼakụkụ ọnụụlọ niile, nʼụzọ ogige nke dị nʼezi. Ọ mapụtara nʼihu ọnụụlọ ndị ahụ, ogologo ihe dị iri mita abụọ na asaa.
And the wall that was without, answering to the cells, toward the outer court in the front of the cells, its length was fifty cubits:
8 Nʼọtụtụ ogologo ọnụụlọ ndị a, ndị dị nso nʼogige mpụta, ruru mita iri abụọ na itoolu, ebe ogologo ndị nke dịkarịsịrị nso ebe nsọ ahụ, ruru mita iri ise na asatọ.
for the length of the cells that were against the outer court was fifty cubits; but behold, before the temple it was a hundred cubits.
9 Nʼokpuru ọnụụlọ ndị a, e nwere ụzọ mbata nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ, dịka mmadụ na-abata ha site nʼogige dị na mpụta.
And under these cells was the entry from the east, as one goeth into them from the outer court.
10 Nʼakụkụ ndịda, nʼogologo aja ụlọ dị nʼogige mpụta, nke dị nʼakụkụ ogige ụlọnsọ ukwu, nke chere aja ụlọ mpụta ihu, ọtụtụ ọnụụlọ dị ya.
In the breadth of the wall of the court toward the south, before the separate place, and before the building, were cells;
11 Ụzọ njegharị dị nʼetiti akụkụ abụọ ụlọ ahụ, ha dịkwa ka ọnụụlọ ndị ahụ nke dị nʼụzọ ugwu. Ogologo ha na obosara ha bụ otu; ha niile yiri onwe ha. Ọnụ ụzọ ya dịkwa ka ọnụ ụzọ dị nʼugwu.
and a passage before them, like the appearance of the cells that were toward the north, according to their length, according to their breadth and all their goings out, and according to their fashions, and according to their doors.
12 Otu a ka ọnụ ụzọ e si abanye nʼime ọnụụlọ ndị a dị na ndịda si dị. E nwere ọnụ ụzọ na mpụta, nke dị na mgbidi ahụ chere ihu nʼọwụwa anyanwụ. Ebe a ka e si abanye nʼime ọnụụlọ ndị ahụ.
And according to the doors of the cells that were toward the south there was a door at the head of the way, the way directly before the corresponding wall toward the east as one entereth into them.
13 Mgbe ahụ, ọ sịrị m, “Ime ọnụụlọ niile dị nʼugwu, na ime ọnụụlọ ndị dị na ndịda, bụ ndị a chere ogige ụlọnsọ ahụ ihu, bụ ime ụlọ dị nsọ, nke ndị nchụaja. Ebe ndị nchụaja ndị na-abịa nso Onyenwe anyị ịchụ aja ga-anọ rie nri niile nke kachasị nsọ, nʼebe ahụ ka ha ga-edebekwa aja ịnata ihuọma, aja mmehie na aja ikpe ọmụma, nʼihi na ụlọ ndị a dị nsọ.
And he said unto me, The north cells [and] the south cells, which are before the separate place, they are holy cells, where the priests that come near unto Jehovah shall eat the most holy things; there shall they lay the most holy things, both the oblation and the sin-offering and the trespass-offering: for the place is holy.
14 Mgbe ndị nchụaja bara nʼime ebe nsọ ahụ nke e kewapụrụ iche, ha aghaghị esikwa nʼebe ahụ pụta nʼogige mpụta ezi, tupu ruo mgbe ha yisara uwe ha yii jee ozi, nʼihi na uwe ndị a dị nsọ. Ha ga-eyiri uwe ọzọ, tupu ha abanye nʼakụkụ ụlọ ndị ahụ dịịrị ndị ọzọ.”
When the priests enter in, they shall not go forth from the sanctuary into the outer court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister, for they are holy; and they shall put on other garments, and shall approach to that which is for the people.
15 Mgbe ọ tụchara ihe ndị dị nʼime ebe ụlọnsọ ahụ, o duuru m site nʼọnụ ụzọ dị nʼọwụwa anyanwụ pụta, tụkwaa nʼakụkụ niile gburugburu.
And when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate whose front was toward the east, and measured [the enclosure] round about.
16 O ji ihe ọtụtụ dị ogologo tụọ akụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ, ọ dị ihe ruru narị mita abụọ na iri mita isii na ise.
He measured the east side with the measuring-reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring-reed round about.
17 O ji mkpirisi osisi ahụ e ji atụ ihe tụọ akụkụ nke ugwu ma chọpụta na ọ dị ihe ruru narị mita abụọ na iri mita isii na ise.
He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring-reed round about.
18 Ọ tụkwara akụkụ nke ndịda, chọpụtakwa na ọ dị ihe ruru narị mita abụọ na iri mita isii na ise.
He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring-reed.
19 Mgbe ahụ, ọ tụgharịrị jirikwa ihe ọtụtụ ahụ tụọkwa akụkụ nke ọdịda anyanwụ. Ọ dị ihe ruru narị mita abụọ na iri mita isii na ise.
He turned about to the west side, [and] measured five hundred reeds with the measuring-reed.
20 Ya mere, ọ tụrụ akụkụ anọ niile nke ebe ahụ. Mgbidi gbara ya gburugburu. Ọtụtụ ha dị ihe ruru narị mita abụọ na iri mita isii na ise, nʼogologo, obosara ya dịkwa ihe ruru narị mita abụọ na iri mita isii na ise, iji kewapụta ebe dị nsọ site nʼebe ndị ọzọ.
He measured it on the four sides; it had a wall round about, five hundred long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.
