Ezekieli 42
1 Moto yango amemaki ngai kino na lopango ya libanda, na nzela oyo ekenda kino na ngambo ya nor; bongo amemaki ngai na ndako oyo ezalaki na bashambre ya Banganga-Nzambe, oyo na ngambo ya sude, etalana na Tempelo; mpe na ngambo ya nor, etalana na mir.
Then he brought me forth into the outer court, the way toward the north. And he brought me into the chamber that was opposite the separate place, and which was opposite the building toward the north.
2 Ndako yango ezalaki na bametele pene tuku mitano na molayi mpe tuku mibale na mitano na mokuse, mpe ekuke na yango ezalaki na ngambo ya nor.
In front was the north door, the length of a hundred cubits, and the breadth was fifty cubits.
3 Ezalaki na ndako moko ya etaje etalana na ndako ya ba-etaje misato oyo ezalaki na kati-kati ya lopango ya kati mpe lopango ya libanda; molayi oyo ekabolaki ndako ya ba-etaje misato na mir ya Tempelo ezalaki na bametele pene zomi.
Opposite the twenty which belonged to the inner court, and opposite the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery against gallery in the third story.
4 Nzela moko ya bametele pene mitano na mokuse mpe bametele pene tuku mitano na molayi ezalaki liboso ya bashambre yango. Bongo, bikuke na yango ezalaki na ngambo ya nor.
And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits' breadth inward, a way of one cubit, and their doors were toward the north.
5 Bashambre ya etaje ya likolo ezalaki mike koleka bashambre ya etaje ya kati-kati mpe ya se, pamba te baveranda na yango ezalaki kozwa esika mingi koleka etaje ya kati-kati mpe ya se.
Now the upper chambers were shorter, for the galleries took away from these, more than from the lower and the middlemost, in the building.
6 Bashambre ya etaje ya misato ezalaki na makonzi te ndenge ezalaki na lopango ya libanda. Boye, ezalaki mike koleka bashambre ya etaje ya kati-kati mpe oyo ya se.
For they were in three stories, and they did not have pillars as the pillars of the courts. Therefore the uppermost was narrowed more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground.
7 Mir ya libanda ezalaki etalana na bashambre, mpe lopango ya libanda ezalaki liboso ya ndako ya bashambre: ezalaki na bametele pene tuku mibale na mitano.
And the wall that was outside by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court before the chambers, the length of it was fifty cubits.
8 Bashambre oyo ezalaki pene ya lopango ya libanda ezalaki na bametele pene tuku mibale na mitano na molayi, mpe bashambre oyo ezalaki pene ya Tempelo ezalaki bametele pene tuku mitano na molayi.
For the length of the chambers that were in the outer court was fifty cubits. And, lo, of those on the front of the temple were a hundred cubits.
9 Na se ya bashambre, ezalaki na ekotelo moko na ngambo ya este soki okoteli wuta na lopango ya libanda.
And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as going into them from the outer court.
10 Bashambre yango ezalaki na ngambo ya sude, na molayi ya mir ya lopango ya libanda oyo ekenda kino na lopango ya Tempelo oyo etalana na mir ya libanda.
In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, before the separate place, and before the building, there were chambers.
11 Mwa nzela moko ezalaki liboso na yango. Bashambre yango ezalaki ndenge moko na bashambre ya nor, na mokuse mpe na molayi; mpe bikuke na yango ezalaki ndenge moko na monene. Bikuke ya bashambre oyo ezalaki na ngambo ya nor
And the way before them was like the appearance of the way of the chambers which were toward the north. According to their length so was their breadth. And all their exits were both according to their fashions, and according to their doors.
12 ezalaki ndenge moko na bikuke ya bashambre ya ngambo ya sude. Ezalaki na ekuke moko na ebandeli ya mwa nzela oyo etalana na mir oyo ebatelaka, oyo ezali na ngambo ya este epai wapi bazalaki kokotela na bashambre.
And according to the doors of the chambers that were toward the south was a door at the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall toward the east, as entering into them.
13 Bongo moto yango alobaki na ngai: « Bashambre oyo ezali na ngambo ya nor mpe ya sude, oyo etalana na lopango ya Tempelo ezali bashambre ya Banganga-Nzambe; ezali kuna nde Banganga-Nzambe oyo bapusanaka liboso ya Yawe bakobanda kolia biloko oyo eleki bule. Ezali kuna nde bakobanda komema biloko oyo eleki bule: makabo ya bambuma, bambeka ya masumu mpe bambeka ya kozongisa boyokani, pamba te esika yango ezali bule.
Then he said to me, The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, they are the holy chambers, where the priests that are near to Jehovah shall eat the most holy things. There they shall lay the most holy things, and the meal offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering, for the place is holy.
14 Soki bakoti kuna, Banganga-Nzambe bakoki kobima te na biteni ya bule ya Tempelo mpo na kokende na lopango ya libanda, kasi basengeli kotika bilamba oyo bazalaki kosalela mosala ya bonganga-Nzambe kuna, pamba te bilamba yango ezali bule; bakolata bilamba mosusu liboso ya kopusana na bisika oyo ebongisami mpo na bato. »
When the priests enter in, then they shall not go out of the holy place into the outer court, but they shall lay their garments there in which they minister, for they are holy. And they shall put on other garments, and shall approach to that which pertains to the people.
15 Tango asilisaki komeka molayi ya kati ya Tempelo, amemaki ngai na libanda, na nzela ya ekuke ya este, mpe amekaki molayi ya lopango zingazinga ya Tempelo.
Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth by the way of the gate whose view is toward the east, and measured it round about.
16 Amekaki molayi ya ngambo ya este na libaya oyo bamekelaka molayi: ezalaki na bametele pene nkama mibale na tuku mitano.
He measured on the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.
17 Amekaki molayi ya ngambo ya nor na libaya oyo bamekelaka molayi: ezalaki bametele pene nkama mibale na tuku mitano.
He measured on the north side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about.
18 Amekaki molayi ya ngambo ya sude na libaya oyo bamekelaka molayi: ezalaki bametele pene nkama mibale na tuku mitano.
He measured on the south side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
19 Amekaki molayi ya ngambo ya weste na libaya oyo bamekelaka molayi: ezalaki na bametele pene nkama mibale na tuku mitano.
He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
20 Amekaki bangambo nyonso minei. Ezalaki na mir moko zingazinga na yango, oyo ezalaki na bametele pene nkama mibale na tuku mitano na molayi mpe nkama mibale na tuku mitano na mokuse; mir yango ezalaki kokabola eteni ya bule ya Tempelo mpe eteni ya Tempelo oyo ezali bule te.
He measured it on the four sides. It had a wall round about, the length five hundred, and the breadth five hundred, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.
