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.
Then he brought me forth into the utter court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber that [was] over against the separate place, and which [was] before 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 an hundred cubits [was] the north door, 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] which [were] for the inner court, and over against the pavement which [was] for the utter court, [was] gallery against gallery in three [stories].
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 chambers [was] a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors 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.
Now the upper chambers [were] shorter: for the galleries were higher than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost 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 building] was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost 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 over against the chambers, toward the utter court on the forepart of the chambers, the length thereof [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 chambers that [were] in the utter court [was] fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple [were] an 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 from under these chambers [was] the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the utter 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.
The chambers [were] in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, over against the separate place, and over against the building.
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 the way before them [was] like the appearance of the chambers which [were] toward the north, as long as they, [and] as broad as they: and all their goings out [were] both 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 chambers that [were] toward the south [was] a door in the head of the way, [even] the way directly before the 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.
Then said he unto me, The north chambers [and] the south chambers, which [are] before the separate place, they [be] holy chambers, where the priests that approach unto the LORD shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat offering, 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 therein, then shall they not go out of the holy [place] into the utter court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they [are] holy; and shall put on other garments, and shall approach to [those things] which [are] 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.
Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate whose prospect [is] toward the east, and measured it 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 by the four sides: it had a wall round about, five hundred [reeds] long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place.
