Ezeekyeri 42
1 Awo omusajja n’ankulemberamu n’antwala mu luggya ebweru ku luuyi olw’Obukiikakkono, n’antwala mu bisenge eby’ekizimbe ekyayolekera oluggya lwa yeekaalu era ekyayolekera bbugwe ku luuyi olw’Obukiikakkono.
[in the vision] the man led me out of the inner courtyard, through [the entrance on] the north side. We entered the outer courtyard and came to a building that was built against the north [of the inner courtyard].
2 Ekizimbe ekyo ekyaliko omuzigo ogwolekedde Obukiikakkono, kyali mita amakumi ataano obuwanvu, n’obugazi mita amakumi abiri mu ttaano.
That building was (175 feet/53 meters) long and (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) wide. Its doorway faced north.
3 Ekizimbe ekyo kyalina ennyumba bbiri. Ennyumba emu yali eyolekera oluggya olw’omunda oluli mita kkumi obugazi. Ennyumba endala n’eyolekera oluggya olw’ebweru. Ennyumba zombi zazimbibwa nga za kalina ssatu, nga zoolekaganye.
In that building were two rows of rooms, built on three levels, that faced each other. One row of rooms was built against the wall of the inner courtyard, and the other row was built against the wall facing the outer courtyard. The building was 34 feet from the temple.
4 Wakati w’ennyumba ezo ebbiri, waaliwo olukuubo mita ttaano obugazi, n’obuwanvu mita amakumi ataano. Enzigi ez’ennyumba eyolekera oluggya olw’omunda zaayolekera Obukiikakkono.
Between the [two] rows of rooms there was a walkway that was (17-1/2 feet/5.3 meters) wide and (175 feet/53 meters) long. All its doors were on the north side.
5 Ebisenge ebya waggulu byali bifunda okusinga ebibiri wansi, kubanga olubalaza olwa waggulu lwatwala ekifo kinene okusinga ku myaliiro egya wansi n’egya wakati mu kizimbe.
Each of the upper rows of rooms was narrower than the row of rooms below them, [because the upper rows needed to have a walkway in front of them].
6 Oluggya lwalina empagi naye ebisenge ebyali ku mwaliiro ogwokusatu tebyalimu mpagi, noolwekyo byali bitono okusinga ebyali ku mwaliiro ogwa wansi ne ku mwaliiro ogwa wakati.
The rooms on the upper levels had no pillars to support them like the ones in the courtyard. Instead, each of those row of rooms were supported by the walls of the row of rooms on the level below.
7 Waaliwo ekisenge eky’ebweru ekyali kigatta ennyumba zombi ez’ekizimbe, obuwanvu mita amakumi abiri mu ttaano.
The wall of the building extended (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) past the set of rooms built along the outer courtyard, separating all the rooms from the outer courtyard.
8 Olubu lw’ebisenge olw’ennyumba eri ku luuyi oluliraanye oluggya olw’ebweru obuwanvu bwali mita amakumi abiri mu ttaano, ate n’olubu lw’ebisenge olw’ennyumba ku luuyi olusinga okuliraana yeekaalu obuwanvu bwali mita amakumi ataano.
The row of rooms that were along the outer courtyard was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) long, and the set of rooms that faced the temple was (175 feet/53 meters) long.
9 Ebisenge ebya wansi byaliko omulyango ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba ogufuluma mu luggya olw’ebweru.
The lowest row of rooms had an entrance from the outer courtyard, on the east side.
10 Ku luuyi olw’Obukiikaddyo obwa yeekaalu, waliwo ekizimbe ekyalina ennyumba bbiri ezaali wakati w’oluggya olwa yeekaalu, ne bbugwe.
On the south [side], along the wall of the outer courtyard, next to the temple courtyard, was a [a building with two] rows of rooms,
11 Waaliwo olukuubo wakati w’ennyumba zombi. Zaafaanana ng’ennyumba ez’oku luuyi olw’Obukiikakkono, ng’obuwanvu n’obugazi bwazo, n’emiryango nga bya bipimo ebyenkanankana n’eby’Obukiikakkono.
with a walkway between them. Those rooms were like the rooms on the north [side]: they were the same length and width, and had the same kind of entrances.
12 Emiryango gy’ebisenge eby’Obukiikaddyo gyali gifaanana n’emiryango gy’ebisenge eby’Obukiikakkono. Ekizimbe kyaliko omuzigo ogwolekedde Obukiikaddyo, nga bw’oguyingiriramu oyolekera emiryango gy’ennyumba ennene ey’ekizimbe. Waaliwo omulyango omulala ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba olukuubo lw’ekizimbe eky’ennyumba zombi we lukoma.
The doorways on the south side were similar to the doorways on the north side. There was an entrance in the wall that faced the doors of the set of rooms, and there was an entrance on the east side, at the end of the inside walkway.
13 Awo n’aŋŋamba nti, “Ebisenge eby’ennyumba eyolekedde yeekaalu eby’omu Bukiikakkono n’eby’ennyumba eyolekedde yeekaalu eby’omu Bukiikaddyo, by’ebisenge bya bakabona. Bakabona abaweereza mu maaso ga Mukama gye banaaliiranga ebintu ebitukuvu ennyo; era eyo gye banaatekanga ebiweebwayo ebitukuvu ennyo, n’ekiweebwayo eky’obutta n’ebiweebwayo olw’ekibi, n’ebiweebwayo olw’omusango, kubanga ekifo kitukuvu.
Then the man said to me, “These rooms that overlook the temple on the north and south sides are holy. Here the priests who offer sacrifices to Yahweh will [their portions of] the sacred offerings. Because these rooms are holy, they will be used to store the sacred offerings: [the grain for] the grain offerings, the offerings for the sins that people have committed, and offerings in order that people will no longer be guilty for having sinned.
14 Bakabona bwe bayingirangamu, tebaafulumenga kulaga mu luggya olw’ebweru, okuggyako nga baggyemu ebyambalo eby’obuweereza bwabwe, kubanga byambalo bitukuvu. Banaayambalanga ebyambalo ebirala, ne balyoka basemberera ebifo awali abantu.”
When the priests leave the temple, they will not be allowed to [immediately] enter the outer courtyard. First, they must remove the clothes that they had been wearing inside the temple, because those clothes are holy. They must put on other clothes before they enter the parts [of the temple area] where the [other] people [gather].”
15 Bwe yamala okupima munda wa yeekaalu, n’ankulembera n’ampisa mu mulyango ogw’Ebuvanjuba, n’apima ekitundu ekyetoolodde wonna.
When the man had finished measuring the inside of the temple area, he led me out through the east entrance [of the outer courtyard] and measured all the way around the temple area.
16 N’apima oluuyi olw’ebuvanjuba n’oluti olugera, nga luli mita ebikumi bibiri mu ataano.
He measured the four sides of the area. There was a wall around the area that was (875 feet/265 meters) long on each side.
17 N’apima oluuyi olw’Obukiikakkono nga luli mita ebikumi bibiri mu ataano.
18 N’oluvannyuma n’apima oluuyi olw’Obukiikaddyo nga luli mita ebikumi bibiri mu ataano.
19 N’oluvannyuma n’akyuka n’apima oluuyi olw’ebugwanjuba, nga luli mita ebikumi bibiri mu ataano.
20 N’apima enjuuyi ennya zonna. Yeekaalu yalina bbugwe okugyebungulula, mita ebikumi bibiri mu ataano obuwanvu, n’obugazi mita ebikumi bibiri mu ataano, nga kye kyawula awatukuvu n’awabulijjo.
That wall separated the [area which was] sacred/holy from the [areas that were] not sacred.
