Ezekieli 40

1 Na mokolo ya zomi ya sanza ya liboso, sima na biso kokokisa mibu tuku mibale na mitano wuta tango tokendeki na bowumbu, na ebandeli ya mobu, ezalaki mobu ya zomi na minei sima na kobebisama ya engumba Yelusalemi, kaka na mokolo wana, loboko ya Yawe ezalaki likolo na ngai, mpe amemaki ngai kuna.

In the twenty-fifth year of our transmigration, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was struck, on this very day, the hand of the Lord was placed upon me, and he brought me to that place.

2 Na nzela ya bimoniseli, Nzambe amemaki ngai kati na Isalaele mpe atiaki ngai na likolo ya ngomba moko ya molayi makasi; mpe na likolo ya ngomba yango, na ngambo ya sude, ezalaki na bandako batonga lokola engumba.

In the visions of God, he brought me into the land of Israel, and he released me on an exceedingly high mountain, on which there was something like the edifice of a city, verging toward the south.

3 Tango amemaki ngai kuna, namonaki moto moko oyo lolenge na ye ezalaki lokola ebende ya bronze: atelemaki na ekuke ya engumba mpe asimbaki na loboko na ye singa moko ya lino mpe libaya oyo bamekelaka molayi.

And he led me into that place. And behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a linen rope in his hand, and a measuring reed in his hand. And he was standing at the gate.

4 Moto yango alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, tala na miso na yo mpe yoka na matoyi na yo! Sala keba na makambo nyonso oyo nakolakisa yo, pamba te ezali mpo na kolakisa yo yango nde namemaki yo na esika oyo. Yebisa libota ya Isalaele makambo nyonso oyo okomona. »

And the same man said to me: “Son of man, look with your eyes, and listen with your ears, and set your heart upon all that I will reveal to you. For you have been brought to this place, so that these things may be revealed to you. Announce all that you see to the house of Israel.”

5 Tala makambo oyo namonaki: mir moko ezingelaki lopango mobimba ya Tempelo. Kati na loboko ya moto yango, ezalaki na libaya oyo bamekelaka molayi: ezalaki na bametele pene misato na molayi. Tango amekaki yango, amonaki ete monene na yango mpe bosanda na yango ezalaki ya kokokana, ezalaki na bametele pene misato.

And behold, there was a wall outside of the house, encircling it all around, and in the man’s hand was a measuring reed of six cubits and a palm. And he measured the width of the edifice with one reed; likewise, the height with one reed.

6 Akendeki na ekuke oyo etala na ngambo ya este, amataki na bibutelo na yango mpe amekaki molayi ya ekotelo ya ekuke: mokuse mpe molayi na yango ezalaki na bametele pene misato.

And he went to the gate which looked toward the east, and he ascended by its steps. And he measured the width of the threshold of the gate as one reed, that is, one threshold was one reed in width.

7 Longwa na ekotelo kino na Tempelo, ezalaki na bandako mike ya bakengeli: misato na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi mpe misato na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali; molayi na yango mpe mokuse na yango ezalaki na bametele pene misato. Molayi oyo ekabolaki ndako moko ya bakengeli mpe ndako mosusu ezalaki na bametele pene misato. Longwa na ekotelo ya ekuke oyo elandaki kino na ndako moke ya kokotela oyo etalana na Tempelo, ezalaki na bametele pene misato.

And a chamber was one reed in length and one reed in width. And between the chambers, there were five cubits.

8 Amekaki molayi ya ndako moke ya kokotela na ekuke na libaya oyo bamekelaka molayi:

And the threshold of the gate, next to the inner vestibule of the gate, was one reed.

9 ezalaki na bametele pene minei. Makonzi na yango ezalaki pene na metele moko na monene; ndako moke ya kokotela ezalaki etala na ngambo ya Tempelo.

And he measured the vestibule of the gate as eight cubits, and its front as two cubits. But the vestibule of the gate was inside.

10 Ezalaki na bandako mike misato ya bakengeli, ngambo na ngambo, na ngambo ya ekuke ya este; bandako mike nyonso misato ezalaki ekokana, mpe molayi oyo ekabolaki ndako moko ya bakengeli na ndako mosusu, ngambo na ngambo, ezalaki mpe ekokana.

Moreover, the chambers of the gate, toward the way of the east, were three from one side to the other. The three were of one measure, and the fronts were of one measure, on both sides.

11 Amekaki molayi ya ekuke: mokuse na yango ezalaki na bametele pene mitano, mpe molayi na yango ezalaki na bametele pene motoba na basantimetele tuku mitano.

And he measured the width of the threshold of the gate as ten cubits, and the length of the gate as thirteen cubits.

12 Liboso ya ndako moko na moko ya bakengeli, na bangambo nyonso mibale, ezalaki na mwa mir moko oyo ezalaki na bosanda ya basantimetele pene tuku mitano, mpe ngambo moko na moko ya bandako nyonso ya bakengeli ezalaki na bametele pene misato.

And before the chambers, the border was one cubit. And on both sides, the border was one cubit. But the chambers were six cubits, from one side to the other.

13 Amekaki molayi ya ekuke, longwa na suka ya mir ya sima ya ndako moko ya bakengeli kino na suka ya mir ya sima ya ndako ya bakengeli mosusu oyo etalana na yango, molayi na yango ezalaki na bametele pene zomi na mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano, longwa na suka moko kino na suka mosusu.

And he measured the gate, from the roof of one chamber to the roof of another, twenty-five cubits in width, from door to door.

14 Amekaki lisusu molayi ya bandako mike nyonso misato ya bakengeli elongo na molayi oyo ezalaki kokabola ndako moko ya moke mpe ndako mosusu: nyonso esalaki bametele pene zomi na mitano, longola veranda na yango.

And he found the fronts to be sixty cubits. And at the front, there was a court for the gate on every side all around.

15 Longwa na ebandeli ya ekuke kino na suka ya ndako moke ya kokotela, ezalaki na bametele pene tuku mibale na mitano.

And before the face of the gate, which extended even to the face of the vestibule of the gate of the interior, there were fifty cubits.

16 Bandako mike ya bakengeli elongo na makonzi na yango ezalaki na maninisa ya milayi mpo na kotalela libanda. Na likonzi moko na moko, basalaki bililingi ya banzete ya mbila.

And there were slanting windows in the chambers and at their fronts, which were within the gate on every side all around. And similarly, there were also windows in the vestibules all around the interior, and there were images of palm trees before the fronts.

17 Amemaki ngai lisusu kati na lopango ya libanda. Kuna, namonaki bashambre mpe mabanga moko babongisa malamu penza, na mabele ya lopango mobimba; na likolo ya mabanga oyo babongisa malamu, ezalaki na bashambre tuku misato.

And he led me away to the outer court, and behold, there were storerooms and a layer of pavement stones throughout the court. Thirty storerooms encircled the pavement.

18 Mabanga yango ezalaki suka na suka ya bikuke, mpe molayi na yango ezalaki ekokana na molayi ya bikuke.

And the pavement in front of the gates, along the length of the gates, was lower.

19 Amekaki molayi ya liboso ya ekuke ya se kino na liboso ya ekuke ya lopango ya kati: ezalaki na bametele pene tuku mitano na ngambo ya este.

And he measured the width, from the face of the lower gate to the front of the outer part of the inner court, to be one hundred cubits, to the east and to the north.

20 Bongo na ngambo ya nor, amekaki molayi mpe mokuse ya ekuke oyo etala na ngambo ya nor, ekuke oyo ememaka kino na lopango ya libanda.

Likewise, he measured the gate of the outer court, which looked to the way of the north, to be as much in length as in width.

21 Ezalaki na bandako na yango ya mike ya bakengeli: misato na ngambo moko mpe misato na ngambo mosusu. Makonzi na yango mpe ndako na yango ya moke ya kokotela ezalaki ndenge moko na ekuke ya liboso, na molayi mpe na mokuse: ezalaki na bametele pene tuku mibale na mitano na molayi, mpe bametele pene zomi na mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano na mokuse.

And its chambers were three from one side to the other. And its front and its vestibule, in accord with the measure of the former gate, were fifty cubits in its length and twenty-five cubits in width.

22 Maninisa na yango, ndako na yango ya moke ya kokotela mpe bililingi na yango ya banzete ya mbila ezalaki ndenge moko na oyo ya ekuke ya ngambo ya este, na molayi mpe na mokuse. Mpo na kokota na ekuke yango, bazalaki komata na ematelo ya bibutelo sambo oyo ezalaki etalana na ndako moke ya kokotela.

Now its windows, and the vestibule, and the engravings were in accord with the measure of the gate which looked to the east. And its ascent was by seven steps, and a vestibule was before it.

23 Ezalaki mpe lisusu na ekuke moko kati na lopango oyo ezalaki etalana na ekuke ya ngambo ya nor, ndenge kaka ezalaki na ngambo ya este. Amekaki molayi, longwa na ekuke ya liboso kino na ekuke oyo ezalaki etalana na yango: ezalaki na bametele pene tuku mitano.

And the gate of the inner court was opposite the gate of the north, and that of the east. And he measured from gate to gate as one hundred cubits.

24 Amemaki ngai lisusu na ngambo ya sude, mpe namonaki ekuke moko oyo etala na ngambo ya sude; amekaki molayi ya makonzi mpe ya ndako na yango ya moke ya kokotela: ezalaki ndenge moko na bikuke mosusu, na molayi mpe mokuse.

And he led me to the way of the south, and behold, there was a gate which looked toward the south. And he measured its front and its vestibule to be the same as the measures above.

25 Ekuke mpe ndako na yango ya moke ya kokotela ezalaki na maninisa ya milayi mpo na kotalela libanda lokola maninisa ya bikuke mosusu: ezalaki na bametele pene tuku mibale na mitano na molayi mpe bametele pene zomi na mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano na mokuse.

And its windows and the vestibule all around were like the other windows: fifty cubits in length and twenty-five cubits in width.

26 Mpo na kokota na ekuke yango, bazalaki komata na ematelo ya bibutelo sambo oyo etalana na ndako moke ya kokotela. Bililingi ya nzete ya mbila ezalaki na makonzi na yango na bangambo nyonso.

And there were seven steps to ascend to it, and a vestibule before its doors. And there were engraved palm trees, one on each side, at its front.

27 Lopango ya kati ezalaki na ekuke moko etala na ngambo ya sude. Boye, amekaki molayi na yango, longwa na ekuke wana kino na ekuke ya libanda na ngambo ya sude: ezalaki bametele pene tuku mitano.

And there was a gate at the inner court, on the way to the south. And he measured from one gate to another, on the way to the south, to be one hundred cubits.

28 Amemaki ngai na kati ya lopango ya kati, na nzela ya ekuke ya sude; amekaki molayi mpe mokuse ya ekuke ya ngambo ya sude: ezalaki ndenge moko kaka na bikuke mosusu.

And he led me into the inner court, to the south gate. And he measured the gate to be in accord with the measures above.

29 Bandako na yango ya mike ya bakengeli, makonzi na yango mpe bandako na yango ya mike ya kokotela ezalaki ndenge moko na bikuke mosusu, na molayi mpe na mokuse. Ekuke mpe ndako na yango ya moke ya kokotela ezalaki na maninisa ya milayi mpo na kotalela libanda: ezalaki na bametele pene tuku mibale na mitano na molayi, mpe zomi na mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano na mokuse.

Its chamber, and its front, and its vestibule had the same measures. And its windows and its vestibule all around were fifty cubits in length, and twenty-five cubits in width.

30 Bandako moke ya kokotela ya bikuke, zingazinga ya lopango, ezalaki na bametele pene zomi na mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano na molayi, mpe bametele pene mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano na mokuse.

And the vestibule all around was twenty-five cubits in length, and five cubits in width.

31 Ndako na yango ya kokotela ezalaki etalana na lopango ya libanda. Batiaki bililingi ya banzete ya mbila na makonzi na yango mpe ematelo na yango ezalaki na bibutelo mwambe.

And its vestibule was toward the outer court, and its palm trees were at the front. And there were eight steps to ascend to it.

32 Amemaki ngai lisusu na lopango ya kati, na ngambo ya este, mpe amekaki molayi ya ekuke na yango: ezalaki ndenge moko na bikuke mosusu, na molayi mpe na mokuse.

And he led me into the inner court, along the way of the east. And he measured the gate to be in accord with the measures above.

33 Bandako na yango ya mike ya bakengeli, makonzi na yango mpe ndako na yango moke ya kokotela ezalaki ndenge moko na bikuke mosusu, na molayi mpe na mokuse. Ekuke mpe ndako na yango ya moke ya kokotela ezalaki na maninisa ya milayi mpo na kotalela libanda: ezalaki na bametele pene tuku mibale na mitano na molayi, mpe zomi na mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano na mokuse.

Its chamber, and its front, and its vestibule were as above. And its windows and its vestibules all around were fifty cubits in length, and twenty-five cubits in width.

34 Ndako na yango ya kokotela ezalaki etalana na lopango ya libanda na yango; ezalaki na bililingi ya banzete ya mbila na makonzi na yango, na bangambo nyonso, mpe ematelo na yango ezalaki na bibutelo mwambe.

And it had a vestibule, that is, at the outer court. And the engraved palm trees at its front were on one side and the other. And its ascent was by eight steps.

35 Amemaki ngai na ekuke ya ngambo ya nor mpe amekaki molayi na yango: ezalaki ndenge moko na bikuke mosusu, na molayi mpe na mokuse.

And he led me to the gate which looked toward the north. And he measured it to be in accord with the measures above.

36 Bandako na yango ya mike ya bakengeli, makonzi na yango mpe ndako na yango ya moke ya kokotela ezalaki mpe na maninisa ya milayi mpo na kotalela libanda: ezalaki na bametele pene tuku mibale na mitano na molayi, mpe bametele pene zomi na mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano na mokuse.

Its chamber, and its front, and its vestibule, and its windows all around were fifty cubits in length, and twenty-five cubits in width.

37 Ndako na yango ya kokotela ezalaki etalana na lopango ya libanda; batiaki bililingi ya banzete ya mbila na makonzi na yango mpe ematelo na yango ezalaki na bibutelo mwambe.

And its vestibule looked toward the outer court. And an engraving of palm trees at its front was on one side and the other. And its ascent was by eight steps.

38 Bandako nyonso ya mike ya kokotela ezalaki na shambre moko epai wapi bazalaki kosukola mbeka ya kotumba; shambre yango ezalaki etalana na makonzi ya ekuke.

And at each one of the storerooms, there was a door at the front of the gates. There, they washed the holocaust.

39 Kati na ndako moke ya kokotela na ekuke, ezalaki na bamesa mibale, ngambo na ngambo, epai wapi bazalaki kobomela banyama mpo na mbeka ya kotumba, mbeka ya masumu mpe mbeka mpo na kozongisa boyokani.

And at the vestibule of the gate, there were two tables on one side, and two tables on the other side, so that the holocaust, and the offering for sin, and the offering for transgression could be immolated upon them.

40 Pene ya mir ya libanda ya ndako moke ya kokotela na ekuke, pene ya ematelo ya ekotelo ya ekuke ya nor, ezalaki na bamesa minei na ngambo moko ya ematelo.

And at the outer side, which ascends to the door of the gate that goes toward the north, there were two tables. And at the other side, before the vestibule of the gate, there were two tables.

41 Liboso ya ekuke, ezalaki na bamesa mwambe oyo bazalaki kobomela bambeka: minei na ngambo moko mpe minei na ngambo mosusu.

Four tables were on one side, and four tables were on the other side; along the sides of the gate, there were eight tables, upon which they immolated.

42 Ezalaki na bamesa minei oyo basala na mabanga bakata mpo na bambeka ya kotumba; bazalaki kosalela yango mpo na kotia bisalelo oyo babomelaka bambeka ya kotumba mpe bambeka mosusu. Bamesa yango nyonso ezalaki ndenge moko: na molayi, na mokuse mpe na bosanda; molayi na yango ezalaki na basantimetele pene tuku sambo na mitano, mokuse na yango ezalaki na basantimetele pene tuku sambo na mitano mpe bosanda na yango ezalaki na basantimetele tuku mitano.

Now the four tables for the holocausts were constructed of square stones: one and a half cubit in length, and one and a half cubits in width, and one cubit in height. Upon these, they placed the vessels, in which the holocaust and the victim were immolated.

43 Batobolaki nzela moko ya basantimetele pene mwambe na zingazinga ya bamesa moko na moko; bazalaki kotia misuni ya bambeka na likolo ya bamesa yango.

And their edges were one palm in width, turned inward all around. And the flesh of the oblation was on the tables.

44 Na libanda ya ekuke ya kati, kati na lopango ya kati, ezalaki na bashambre mibale mpo na bayembi: moko ezalaki na ngambo ya ekuke ya nor, etalana na ngambo ya sude, mpe mosusu ezalaki na ngambo ya ekuke ya sude, etalana na ngambo ya nor.

And outside the interior gate, there were storerooms for the cantors, in the inner court, which was beside the gate that looks toward the north. And their face was opposite the way to the south; one was beside the east gate, which looked toward the way of the north.

45 Moto yango alobaki na ngai: « Shambre oyo etala na ngambo ya sude ezali mpo na Banganga-Nzambe oyo basalaka mosala na Tempelo;

And he said to me: “This is the storeroom that looks toward the south; it shall be for the priests who keep watch for the protection of the temple.

46 mpe shambre oyo etala na ngambo ya nor ezali mpo na Banganga-Nzambe oyo basalaka mosala ya etumbelo. Kati na bakitani ya Levi, bana mibali ya Tsadoki kaka nde bakoki kokota na Tempelo mpo na kosala mosala liboso ya Yawe. »

Moreover, the storeroom that looks toward the north will be for the priests who keep watch over the ministry of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, those among the sons of Levi who may draw near to the Lord, so that they may minister to him.”

47 Amekaki molayi ya lopango: ezalaki na bametele pene tuku mitano na molayi mpe na mokuse. Etumbelo ezalaki liboso ya Tempelo.

And he measured the court to be one hundred cubits in length, and one hundred cubits in width, with four equal sides. And the altar was before the face of the temple.

48 Amemaki ngai na ndako moke ya kokotela na Tempelo mpe amekaki molayi ya makonzi na yango: ezalaki na bametele pene mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano na bangambo nyonso; mokuse ya ekotelo ezalaki na bametele pene sambo, mpe bamir na yango ya mipanzi ezalaki na metele pene moko na basantimetele tuku mitano, ngambo na ngambo.

And he led me into the vestibule of the temple. And he measured the vestibule to be five cubits on one side, and five cubits on the other side. And the width of the gate was three cubits on one side, and three cubits on the other side.

49 Ndako moke ya kokotela ezalaki na bametele pene zomi na molayi, mpe motoba na mokuse. Bazalaki komata na ematelo ya bibutelo zomi mpo na kokota na ndako moke ya kokotela, na bangambo nyonso mibale. Batelemisaki likonzi moko na ngambo moko na moko ya ekotelo.

Now the length of the vestibule was twenty cubits, and the width was eleven cubits, and there were eight steps to ascend to it. And there were pillars at the front, one on this side and another on that side.
