Ezekieli 43
1 Moto yango amemaki ngai kino na ekuke oyo etala na ngambo ya este,
Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looks toward the east.
2 mpe namonaki nkembo na Nzambe ya Isalaele koya wuta na ngambo ya este. Mongongo na Ye ezalaki lokola makelele ya mayi minene, mpe mokili ekomaki kongenga na nkembo na Ye.
Look, 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 Emoniseli oyo namonaki ezalaki ndenge moko na oyo namonaki tango ayaki kobebisa engumba, mpe ndenge moko na oyo namonaki pembeni ya ebale Kebari. Boye, nakweyaki elongi kino na mabele.
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 on my face.
4 Nkembo na Yawe ekotaki kati na Tempelo na nzela ya ekuke oyo etala na ngambo ya este.
The glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.
5 Bongo, Molimo atombolaki ngai mpe amemaki ngai kino na lopango ya kati, mpe nkembo na Yawe etondisaki Tempelo.
The Spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and look, the glory of the LORD filled the house.
6 Tango moto yango atelemaki pene na ngai, nayokaki mongongo ya moto koloba na ngai wuta na kati ya Tempelo.
I heard one speaking to me out of the house; and a man stood by me.
7 Alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, ezali awa nde kiti na Ngai ya bokonzi ezalaka, esika oyo natiaka makolo na Ngai. Ezali na esika oyo nde nakovanda mpo na libela kati na bana ya Isalaele. Libota ya Isalaele ekotikala lisusu te kokomisa Kombo na Ngai mbindo, ezala bango to bakonzi na bango, na nzela ya kindumba na bango mpe ya banzambe ya bikeko ya bakonzi na bango, oyo ezanga bomoi na likolo ya bisambelo na bango ya likolo ya bangomba.
He said to 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 forever. The house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their prostitution, and by the dead bodies of their kings in their high places;
8 Tango batiaki bikotelo na bango pene ya ekotelo na Ngai, mabaya oyo esimbaka bikuke na bango pene ya mabaya oyo esimbaka ekuke na Ngai, bongo mir moko kaka nde ekabolaki bango na Ngai, babebisaki nde bosantu ya Kombo na Ngai na nzela ya misala na bango ya mbindo; yango wana, Ngai mpe nabebisaki bango na kanda na Ngai.
in their setting of their threshold by my threshold, and their doorpost beside my doorpost, and there was but the wall between me and them; and they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed: therefore I have consumed them in my anger.
9 Sik’oyo, tika ete balongola na miso na Ngai kindumba na bango mpe banzambe ya bikeko ya bakonzi na bango, oyo ezanga bomoi, mpe Ngai nakovanda kati na bango mpo na libela.
Now let them put away their prostitution, and the dead bodies of their kings, far from me; and I will dwell in their midst forever.
10 Mwana na moto, lakisa epai ya libota ya Isalaele ndenge Tempelo ezali mpo ete bayoka soni mpo na masumu na bango; mpe tika ete bameka molayi mpe mokuse na yango.
"You, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.
11 Soki bayoki penza soni mpo na makambo nyonso oyo basalaki, lakisa bango ndenge nini Tempelo ezali: ndenge basalela yango, bikuke mpe bikotelo na yango, ndenge batambolisaka yango, mibeko nini balandaka mpe ndenge nini basalaka losambo; koma yango, na miso na bango, mpo ete bakoka kolandela yango mpe kotia yango na misala.
If they be ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the form of the house, and its fashion, and its exits, and its entrances, and all its forms, and all its ordinances, and all its forms, and all its laws; and write it in their sight; that they may keep the whole form of it, and all its ordinances, and do them.
12 Tala mobeko oyo etali Tempelo: bisika nyonso oyo ezali zingazinga ya likolo ya ngomba ekozala bule koleka. Yango nde mobeko oyo etali Tempelo.
"This is the law of the house: on the top of the mountain the whole limit around it shall be most holy. Look, this is the law of the house.
13 Tala molayi mpe mokuse ya etumbelo na bametele: zingazinga ya se ya etumbelo ezalaki na libulu moko ya bozindo ya basantimetele pene tuku mitano, mpe ndenge moko na mokuse na yango; bazingelaki yango na eloko moko evimba ya basantimetele pene mwambe. Etumbelo ezalaki,
"These are the measurements of the altar by units of length (each unit is the standard eighteen inches plus three inches): the bottom shall be twenty-one inches, and the breadth twenty-one inches, and its border around its edge nine inches. And this shall be the height of the altar:
14 longwa na se ya mabele kino na moboko, na metele pene moko na bosanda mpe basantimetele pene tuku mitano na mokuse; kobanda na moboko ya moke kino na moboko ya monene, bametele pene mibale na bosanda mpe basantimetele pene tuku mitano na mokuse.
from the bottom on the ground to the lower ledge shall be three feet five inches, and the breadth twenty-one inches; and from the lesser ledge to the greater ledge shall be six feet eleven inches, and the breadth twenty-one inches.
15 Etumbelo ezalaki na bametele pene mibale na bosanda, mpe maseke minei ezalaki likolo na yango.
The upper altar shall be six feet eleven inches; and four horns project upward from the altar hearth.
16 Likolo ya etumbelo ezalaki ndenge moko na molayi mpe na mokuse, na bangambo na yango nyonso: bametele pene motoba.
The altar hearth shall be twenty-four feet one inch long by twenty-four feet one inch broad, square in the four sides of it.
17 Moboko ya monene ezalaki ekokana na molayi mpe na mokuse, na bangambo na yango nyonso: bametele pene sambo. Eloko moko evimba ya basantimetele pene tuku mibale na mitano ezalaki zingazinga na yango. Mpe libulu moko ya basantimetele pene tuku mitano na bozindo ezalaki zingazinga na yango; mpe binyatelo ya etumbelo ezalaki na ngambo ya este. »
The ledge shall be twenty-four feet one inch long by twenty-four feet one inch broad in the four sides of it; and the border about it shall be ten and a half inches; and its bottom shall be twenty-one inches around; and its steps shall look toward the east."
18 Bongo alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Tala mibeko ya etumbelo, oyo bakosalela tango bakotonga yango mpo na kobonza mbeka ya kotumba, makabo mpe kosopela yango makila.
He said to me, "Son of man, thus says the LORD: 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 Okopesa mwana ngombe ya mobali lokola mbeka ya masumu epai ya Banganga-Nzambe oyo bazali Balevi ya libota ya Tsadoki mpe babelemaka liboso na Ngai mpo na kosalela Ngai, elobi Nkolo Yawe;
You shall give to the priests the Levites who are of the offspring of Zadok, who are near to me, to minister to me, says the LORD, a young bull for a sin offering.
20 okokamata ndambo ya makila na yango mpe okotia yango na maseke minei ya etumbelo mpe na basonge minei ya moboko ya likolo mpe zingazinga ya eloko oyo evimba. Na bongo, okopetola etumbelo mpe okosala mosala ya bolimbisi masumu mpo na yango.
You shall take of its blood, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the ledge, and on the border all around: thus you shall cleanse it and make atonement for it.
21 Okokamata ngombe ya mobali mpo na mbeka ya masumu mpe okotumba yango na esika oyo babongisa na Tempelo mpo na yango, na libanda ya Esika ya bule.
You shall also take the bull of the sin offering, and it shall be burnt in the appointed place of the house, outside of the sanctuary.
22 Na mokolo ya mibale, okobonza ntaba moko ya mobali oyo ezanga mbeba lokola mbeka ya masumu; boye, etumbelo ekokoma peto ndenge ekomaki peto na nzela ya ngombe ya mobali.
"On the second day you shall offer a male goat without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bull.
23 Tango okosilisa kopetola yango, okobonza mwana ngombe ya mobali mpe meme ya mobali oyo ezanga mbeba, oyo ewuti kati na etonga ya bibwele.
When you have finished cleansing it, you shall offer a young bull without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.
24 Okobonza yango liboso ya Yawe; bongo, Banganga-Nzambe bakobwakela yango mungwa mpe bakobonza yango lokola mbeka ya kotumba epai na Yawe.
You shall bring them near to the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt on them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering to the LORD.
25 Mikolo sambo, okobanda kobonza, mokolo na mokolo, ntaba moko ya mobali lokola mbeka ya masumu; okobonza lisusu mwana ngombe moko ya mobali mpe meme moko ya mobali ezanga mbeba, oyo ewuti kati na etonga ya bibwele.
"Seven days you shall prepare every day a goat for a sin offering: they shall also prepare a young bull, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish.
26 Bakosala mosala ya bolimbisi masumu mpo na etumbelo mpe kopetola yango mikolo sambo; bongo nde bakopetola mpe bakobulisa yango.
Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify it; so shall they consecrate it.
27 Na suka ya mikolo yango, kobanda na mokolo ya mwambe kino na mikolo oyo ekolanda, Banganga-Nzambe bakobonza na etumbelo bambeka na bino ya kotumba mpe bambeka ya boyokani, mpe Ngai, nakoyamba bino, elobi Nkolo Yawe. »
When they have accomplished the days, it shall be that on the eighth day, and forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings on the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, says the LORD."
