Izikiel 43
1 Emesịa, ọ kpọbatakwara m nʼọnụ ụzọ mbata nke chere ihu nʼọwụwa anyanwụ.
And he brought me unto the gate, the gate which looked toward the east.
2 Ma lee, ahụrụ m ebube Chineke nke Izrel ka o si nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ na-apụta. Olu ya dị ka mbigbọ nke ebili mmiri, ebube ya nwukwara nʼala ahụ niile.
And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east; and his voice was like the voice of many waters; and the earth was lit up with his glory.
3 Ọ dịkwa ka ọhụ mbụ m hụrụ, nke m buru ụzọ hụ nʼakụkụ ọnụ mmiri Keba, ya na nke m hụrụ na Jerusalem mgbe ọ bịara ibibi obodo ahụ. Adara m nʼala kpugide ihu m nʼaja.
And the appearance of the vision that I saw was according to the vision that I had seen when I came to destroy the city; and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar: and I fell upon my face.
4 Ebube Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼọnụ ụzọ chere ihu nʼọwụwa anyanwụ bata nʼime ụlọnsọ ahụ.
And the glory of Jehovah came into the house by the way of the gate whose front was toward the east.
5 Mgbe ahụ, Mmụọ nke Chineke buliri m bubata m nʼime ogige nke ime, ma ebube nke Onyenwe anyị jupụtara nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.
And the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of Jehovah filled the house.
6 Mgbe ahụ, anụrụ m olu ka o si nʼụlọnsọ ahụ na-agwa m okwu, dịka nwoke ahụ na-eguzokwa nʼakụkụ m.
And I heard one speaking unto me out of the house; and a man was standing by me.
7 Ọ sịrị m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, ebe a bụ ebe nke ocheeze, na ebe nke ọbụ ụkwụ m abụọ ga-anọgide, ebe a ka m ga-ebi nʼetiti ụmụ Izrel ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Ụlọ Izrel agaghị emerụkwa aha nsọ m ọzọ, ha onwe ha maọbụ ndị eze ha, site nʼikpere arụsị niile ha na ibubata onyinye olili ozu ndị eze ha, mgbe ha nwụrụ anwụ.
And he said unto me, Son of man, [this is] the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever; and the house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, they nor their kings, with their fornication, and with the carcases of their kings [in] their high places,
8 Mgbe ha wuru mbata ọnụ ụzọ ha nʼakụkụ mbata ọnụ ụzọ m, tinye ọnụ ụzọ ha nʼakụkụ ọnụ ụzọ m, ọ bụkwa naanị mgbidi bụ ihe dị nʼetiti mụ na ha. Ha merụrụ aha nsọ m site nʼihe arụ niile ha mere. Ya mere m ji bibie ha nʼiwe m.
in that they set their threshold by my threshold, and their post by my post, and [there was only] a wall between me and them, and they defiled my holy name with their abominations which they committed; and I consumed them in mine anger.
9 Ugbu a, ka ha wezuga adịghị ọcha na ife chi ndị ọzọ ha nʼihu m, bupụkwa onyinye olili ozu ndị eze ha nʼebe m nọ, mgbe ahụ, aga m ebi nʼetiti ha ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
Now let them put away their fornication, and the carcases of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.
10 “Nwa nke mmadụ, kọwaara ụmụ Izrel ụlọnsọ ahụ m ziri gị. Gwa ha ụdịdị ya, na ịpụ iche ya, ka ihere mee ha nʼihi mmehie ha.
Thou, son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be confounded at their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.
11 Ọ bụrụ nʼezie na ihere emee ha nʼihi ihe ha mere, mgbe ahụ, kọwaara ha ihe niile metụtara otu a ga-esi wuo ụlọnsọ a, na ihe gbasara nkwado ya, na ihe gbasara ọnụ ụzọ ọpụpụ na mbata ya niile, ihe metụtara ebumnobi nke owuwu ya niile na usoro na iwu niile banyere ya. Depụta ihe ndị a nʼihu ha, nye ha ka ha lezie anya mezuo ihe niile metụtara usoro a ga-agbaso wuo ya.
And if they be confounded at all that they have done, make known to them the form of the house, and its fashion, and its goings out, and its comings in, and all its forms, and all its statutes, yea, all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof; and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the statutes thereof, and do them.
12 “Nke a bụ iwu ụlọ banyere nsọ ukwu ahụ. Ebe niile gbara elu ugwu a gburugburu ga-abụ ebe dịkarịsịrị nsọ! Nke a bụ iwu ụlọnsọ ahụ.
This is the law of the house: Upon the top of the mountain all its border round about is most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.
13 “Nke a bụ ọtụtụ niile gbasara ebe ịchụ aja ya: Ịdị elu nke ala ya bụ iri sentimita ise na atọ; ịgba gburugburu nke ọnụ ya bụ iri sentimita abụọ na atọ; obosara ya dị iri sentimita ise na atọ. Otu a ka ebe ịchụ aja ahụ ga-aha nʼogologo.
And these are the measures of the altar in cubits: the cubit is a cubit and a hand breadth. The bottom was a cubit [in height] and the breadth a cubit, and its border on the edge thereof round about, one span: and this was the base of the altar.
14 Site nʼụkwụ ya nke dị nʼala ruo nʼokere ya nke etiti, ọ ga-adị otu mita nʼogologo nakwa nʼuhie; site nʼokere nke nta ruo na nke ukwu ga-adị mita abụọ nʼogologo na ọkara nʼuhie.
And from the bottom upon the ground to the lower settle was two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the small settle to the great settle, four cubits, and the breadth a cubit.
15 Ebe nsure ọkụ nke ebe ịchụ aja ahụ ga-adị mita abụọ, mpi anọ sikwa nʼakụkụ ya gbagoo elu, nke ọbụla nʼime ha ga-adị ọkara mita nʼogologo.
And the upper altar was four cubits; and from the hearth of God and upward were four horns.
16 Ebe nsure ọkụ nke ebe ịchụ aja ahụ ga-adị mita isii nʼogologo na mita isii nʼuhie, nwee akụkụ anọ nke ha nʼotu.
And the hearth of God was twelve [cubits] long, by twelve broad, square in the four sides thereof.
17 Nke dị nʼokpuru ga-adị mita asatọ nʼakụkụ ọbụla; a ga-arụlite ọnụ ọnụ ya gburugburu, ka ịdị elu nke ọnụ ọnụ ya bụrụ iri sentimita abụọ na asaa. Akụkụ ya niile gbasapụrụ site nʼelu ya ruo nʼala. Ọtụtụ mgbasapụ a dị iri sentimita ise na atọ. Nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ ka ihe e ji arịgo ya dị.”
And the settle was fourteen [cubits] long by fourteen broad in the four sides thereof; and the border about it, half a cubit; and the bottom thereof a cubit round about: and its steps looked toward the east.
18 Mgbe ahụ, ọ gwara m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Ndị a bụ usoro metụtara iwu ịchụ aja nke aja nsure ọkụ, na ifesa ọbara nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja mgbe e wusiri ya.
And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer up burnt-offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.
19 Ị ga-enye ndị nchụaja bụ ndị Livayị si nʼezinaụlọ Zadọk, bụ ndị na-abịa m nso ife ofufe nʼihu m, otu oke ehi maka aja mmehie, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that are of the seed of Zadok, who come near unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord Jehovah, a young bullock for a sin-offering.
20 Unu ga-ewere ụfọdụ nʼọbara ya tee na mpi anọ nke ebe ịchụ aja, na nʼakụkụ anọ nke ebe ịchụ aja, na nʼakụkụ anọ nke mbadamba nkume dị nʼelu, na gburugburu ọnụ ọnụ ya, si otu a sachaa ebe ịchụ aja ahụ, kpuchikwaara ya mmehie.
And thou shalt take of its blood, and put it on the four horns thereof, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the border round about: so shalt thou purge and make atonement for it.
21 Mgbe ahụ, a ga-ewere nwa oke ehi e ji chụọ aja mmehie ahụ, kpọọ ya ọkụ nʼebe a kwadoro nʼezi ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.
And thou shalt take the bullock of the sin-offering, and it shall be burned in the appointed place of the house, outside the sanctuary.
22 “Nʼụbọchị nke abụọ, ị ga-eji nwa mkpi na-enweghị ntụpọ chụọ aja mmehie. A ga-eme ka ebe ịchụ aja dị ọcha, dịka e ji oke ehi ahụ mee ka ọ dị ọcha.
And on the second day thou shalt present a he-goat without blemish for a sin-offering; and they shall purge the altar, as they purged it with the bullock.
23 Mgbe i mechara mmemme nsacha ndị a, werekwa nwa oke ehi ọzọ nke na-enweghị ntụpọ, na nwa ebule site nʼigwe anụ nke na-enweghị ntụpọ chụọ aja.
When thou hast ended purging it, thou shalt present a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish;
24 Were ha jee chee nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, ka ndị nchụaja were nnu fesa ha dịka aja nsure ọkụ a chụrụ nye Onyenwe anyị.
and thou shalt present them before Jehovah; and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt-offering unto Jehovah.
25 “Ụbọchị asaa, kwa ụbọchị ka ị ga-ewepụta otu mkpi, na nwa oke ehi, na nwa ebule site nʼigwe anụ ndị ahụ, chụọ aja mmehie. Ha niile ga-abụ ụmụ anụmanụ ndị na-enweghị ntụpọ.
Seven days shalt thou offer daily a goat for a sin-offering; they shall also offer a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.
26 Ụbọchị asaa ka ha ga na-achụ aja ikpuchi mmehie nʼihi ebe ịchụ aja, mee ka ọ dị ọcha, site otu a doo ya nsọ.
Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify it, and consecrate it.
27 Ụbọchị nke asatọ, na nʼụbọchị ọbụla so ya, ndị nchụaja ga-achụ aja nsure ọkụ nʼebe ịchụ aja, chụọkwa aja udo. Mgbe ahụ, aga m anabatakwa unu. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.”
And when these days are ended, it shall be that upon the eighth day and onwards the priests shall offer your burnt-offerings upon the altar, and your peace-offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord Jehovah.
