Izikiel 43
1 Emesịa, ọ kpọbatakwara m nʼọnụ ụzọ mbata nke chere ihu nʼọwụwa anyanwụ.
Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh 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 sound of many waters: and the earth shined 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 it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw 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 the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is 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 took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the LORD 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 stood 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, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, and by 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 their setting of their threshold by my threshold, and their door post beside my door post, and there was [but] the wall between me and them; and they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed: wherefore I have 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 whoredom, 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 ashamed of 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 ashamed of all that they have done, make known unto them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and 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 ordinances 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 the whole limit thereof round about shall be 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 by cubits: (the cubit is a cubit and an handbreadth: ) the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about a span: and this shall be 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 shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser settle to the greater settle shall be 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 shall be four cubits; and from the altar hearth and upward there shall be 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 altar hearth shall be 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 shall be fourteen [cubits] long by fourteen broad in the four sides thereof; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and the bottom thereof shall be a cubit about; and the steps thereof shall look 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 GOD: These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer 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.
Thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that be of the seed of Zadok, which are near unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord GOD, 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 the blood thereof, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the border round about: thus shalt thou cleanse it 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.
Thou shalt also take the bullock of the sin offering, and he shall burn it in the appointed place of the house, without 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 offer a he-goat without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they did cleanse 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 made an end of cleansing it, thou shalt offer 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 bring them near before the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering unto the LORD.
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 prepare every day a goat for a sin offering: they shall also prepare 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; so shall they 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 they have accomplished the days, it shall be that upon the eighth day, and forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings upon the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord GOD.
