Ezekiel 44

1 Na mukul sac pwenyula nu ke mutunpot se lik ke layen nu kutulap ke Tempul uh. Mutunpot sac kaul,

Then he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary that looks eastward; and it was shut.

2 na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Mutunpot se inge ac kaul na. Wangin pacl ac ikakla. Wangin mwet ac orekmakin, mweyen nga, LEUM GOD lun Israel, tuh utyak kac, na ac fah kaul na.

And the Lord said to me, This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no one shall pass through it; for the Lord God of Israel shall enter by it, and it shall be shut.

3 Tusruktu, fisrak se ma leum fin mwet uh ac ku in tuku ac mongo ke bread mutal ye mutuk we. El ac fah ilyak ac illa ke mutunpot uh ke infukil in utyak se oan e loac.”

For the prince, he shall sit in it, to eat bread before the Lord; he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go forth by the way of the same.

4 Na mwet sac pwenyu ut ke mutunpot epang ah nu ke mutun Tempul uh. Ke nga ngetak nga liye lah kalem wolana lun LEUM GOD nwakla luin Tempul. Na nga faksufi,

And he brought me in by the way of the gate that looks northward, in front of the house: and I looked, and, behold, the house was full of the glory of the Lord: and I fell upon my face.

5 ac LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Kom, mwet sukawil moul la, lohang akwoya nu ke ma nukewa kom liye ac lohng uh. Nga ac fahkot nu sum ma sap ac oakwuk luk nu ke Tempul. Liye akwoya lah mwet fuka ac ku in ilyak ac illa liki Tempul, ac mwet fuka ac tia lela nu se.

And the Lord said to me, Son of man, attend with your heart, and see with [your] eyes, and hear with your ears all that I say to you, according to all the ordinances of the house of the Lord, and all the regulations thereof; and you shall attend well to the entrance of the house, according to all its outlets, in all the holy things.

6 “Fahkang nu sin mwet Israel ingan su lungsena alein lah nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, ac fah tia sifil muteng orekma srungayuk ma elos muta oru uh.

And you shall say to the provoking house, [even] to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God; Let it suffice you [to have committed] all your iniquities, O house of Israel!

7 Elos akfohkfokye Tempul sik ke elos lela mwetsac, su tia kosrala ac tia akosyu, in utyak nu we ke pacl kiris uh ac srah uh kisakinyuk nu sik. Ouinge mwet luk uh kunausla wuleang luk nu selos ke sripen ma srungayuk nukewa elos oru.

that you have brought in aliens, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, and to profane it, when you offered bread, flesh, and blood; and you transgressed my covenant by all your iniquities;

8 Elos tiana oru ma kunalos ke oakwuk mutal ke Tempul uh, a elos sang tuh in ma kunen mwetsac inge in oru.

and you appointed [others] to keep the charges in my sanctuary.

9 “Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahkak lah wangin mwet tia kosrala, ku mwet su tia akosyu, fah utyak nu in Tempul sik, finne mwetsac ma muta inmasrlon mwet Israel.”

Therefore thus says the Lord God; No alien, uncircumcised in heart or uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of all the children of strangers that are in the midst of the house of Israel.

10 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Nga fah kalyai mwet Levi su tuh wi mwet Israel ngia fahsr likiyu ac alu nu ke ma sruloala.

But as for the Levites who departed far from me when Israel went astray from me after their imaginations, they shall even bear their iniquity.

11 Elos ac ku in kulansupweyu ke Tempul in liyaung mutunpot ac oru pac orekma lun Tempul. Elos ku in uniya kosro ma mwet uh ako in kisakin nu ke mwe kisa firir, ac mwe kisa saya, ac elos ac fah oru orekma in kulansupu mwet uh.

yet they shall minister in my sanctuary, [being] porters at the gates of the house, and serving the house: they shall kill the victims and the whole burnt offerings for the people, and they shall stand before the people to minister to them.

12 Tusruktu, ke sripen elos pa kolla mwet Israel in alu nu ke ma sruloala, ac in ouiya se inge elos kololosla nu ke ma koluk, nga LEUM GOD Fulatlana, orala fulahk luk lah enenu in kalyeiyuk elos.

Because they ministered to them before their idols, and it became to the house of Israel a punishment of iniquity; therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, says the Lord God.

13 Elos ac fah tia sifil kulansapweyu in oru orekma lun mwet tol, ku apkuranyang nu ke kutena ma mutal sik, ku utyak nu in Acn Mutal Na Mutal. Pa inge mwe kalya nu selos ke orekma srungayuk elos oru.

And they shall not draw near to me to minister to me in the priests' office, nor to approach the holy things of the children of Israel, nor [to approach] my holy of holies: but they shall bear their reproach for the error wherein they erred.

14 Nga ac sang orekma pusisel ke Tempul tuh in ma kunalos.”

They shall bring them to keep the charges of the house, for all the service of it, and for all that they shall do.

15 LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk, “Mwet tol ke sruf lal Levi su ma ke fwilin tulik natul Zadok, elos oaru na in kulansapweyu in Tempul ke pacl mwet Israel saya uh forla likiyu. Ke ma inge, elos pa ac kulansapweyu, ac tuku nu ye mutuk in kisakin ma kiris ac srah ke mwe kisa uh.

The priests the Levites, the sons of Sadduc, who kept the charges of my sanctuary when the house of Israel went astray from me, these shall draw night to me to minister to me, and shall stand before my face, to offer sacrifice to me, the fat and the blood, says the Lord God.

16 Elos mukena pa ac utyak nu in Tempul sik, ac kulansap ke loang luk, ac kol alu in Tempul.

These shall enter into my sanctuary, and these shall approach my table, to minister to me, and they shall keep my charges.

17 Ke elos ac utyak ke mutunpot nu in acn mwesas se loac ke Tempul uh, elos fah nokomang nuknuk linen. Elos fah tiana orekmakin kutena nuknuk ma orekla ke unen sheep ke pacl elos kulansap in acn mwesas se loac ku luin Tempul uh.

And it shall come to pass when they enter the gates of the inner court, [that] they shall put on linen robes; and they shall not put on woollen garments when they minister at the gate of the inner court.

18 Elos in susu linen ac turasis linen, ac elos in tia pel, elos in mau tia fio.

And they shall have linen mitres upon their heads, and shall have linen drawers upon their loins; and they shall not tightly gird themselves.

19 Meet liki elos ac tufoki nu ke acn mwesas se lik ah yen mwet uh muta we, elos enenu na in sarukla nuknuk ma elos nukum ke pacl elos kulansap in Tempul uh, ac filiya infukil mutal. Elos in nokomang nuknuk na lalos, tuh mwet uh in tia pusralla nuknuk mutal uh in tuh akongoiyalosla.

And when they go out into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their robes, in which they minister; and they shall lay them up in the chambers of the sanctuary, and shall put on other robes, and they shall not sanctify the people with their robes.

20 “Mwet tol uh tia enenu in mangsrasrala ku akloesye aunsifalos. Elos enenu in oru tuh in lusa na fal.

And they shall not shave their heads, nor shall they pluck off their hair; they shall carefully cover their heads.

21 Mwet tol enenu in tia nim wain meet liki elos ilyak nu in acn mwesas loac uh.

And no priest shall drink any wine, when they go into the inner court.

22 Wangin mwet tol ac fah payuk sin mutan ma sisila sin sie pacna mwet. El enenu in payuk na sin sie mutan Israel su virgin, ku sie katinmas ma mukul tuma uh mwet tol.

Neither shall they take to themselves to wife a widow, or one that is put away, but a virgin of the seed of Israel: but if there should happen to be a priest's widow, they shall take [her].

23 “Mwet tol uh enenu in luti nu sin mwet luk in ku in akilen inmasrlon ma mutal ac ma tia mutal, oayapa inmasrlon ma nasnas ac ma tia nasnas fal nu ke oakwuk lun alu uh.

And they shall teach my people [to distinguish] between holy and profane, and they shall make known to them [the difference] between unclean and clean.

24 Pacl ma oasr alein yohk sikyak, mwet tol uh pa ac oru nununku fal nu ke ma sap luk. Elos enenu in karingin pacl in kufwa lun alu uh fal nu ke ma sap ac oakwuk luk, ac elos enenu in karinganang len Sabbath tuh in mutal.

And these shall attend at a judgment of blood to decide it: they shall rightly observe my ordinances, and judge my judgments, and keep my statutes and my commandments in all my feasts; and they shall hallow my sabbaths.

25 “Sie mwet tol enenu na in tia akfohkfokyal sifacna ke el kahlye monin sie mwet misa, sayen mwet sacn el fin papa tumal ku nina kial, ku sie sin tulik natul, ku sie tamulel lal, ku sie tamtael wial ma soenna payuk.

And they shall not go in to the dead body of a man to defile themselves: only [a priest] may defile himself for a father, or for a mother, or for a son, or for a daughter, or for a brother, or for his sister, who has not been married.

26 Tukun el sifilpa aknasnasyeyukla, el enenu in soano ke len itkosr,

And after he has been cleansed, let him number to himself seven days.

27 na el fah ilyak nu in acn mwesas se loac ke Tempul ac oru sie mwe kisa ke ma koluk, elan mau ku in sifilpa kulansap in Tempul. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, pa fahk ma inge.

And on whatever day they shall enter into the inner court to minister in the holy place, they shall bring a propitiation, says the Lord God.

28 “Mwe usru lun mwet tol ke ma nga sang nu sin mwet Israel tuh in ma lalos fwil nu ke fwil, pa orekma lun mwet tol. Ac fah wangin acn lalos in Israel. Nga na pa ac sang enenu lalos.

And it shall be to them for an inheritance: I am their inheritance: and no possession shall be given them among the children of Israel; for I am their possession.

29 Pa inge mwe mongo nun mwet tol uh: mwe kisa wheat, mwe kisa ke ma koluk, ac mwe kisa in akfalye ma koluk lukma. Oayapa ma nukewa in Israel ma sriyukla nu sik, ac fah ma lalos.

And these shall eat the meat-offerings, and the sin-offerings, and the trespass-offerings; and every special offering in Israel shall be theirs.

30 Ma wo ke kosrani se meet in ma nukewa, ac oayapa ma wo ke ma kisakinyuk nu sik, ac fah ma lun mwet tol. Pacl nukewa mwet uh manman flao, elos in sang lof soko emeet nu sin mwet tol oana sie mwe kisa. Mwe insewowo luk ac fah oan fin lohm sin mwet su oru ouinge.

[And] the first fruits of all things, and the firstborn of all [animals] and all offerings, of all your first fruits there shall be [a share] for the priests; and you shall give your earliest produce to the priest, to bring your blessings upon your houses.

31 Mwet tol fah tia mongo kutena won ku kosro ma sifacna misa, ku ma anwuki sin kosro lemnak.”

And the priests shall eat no bird or beast that dies of itself, or is taken of wild beasts.
