Ezeekyeri 43
1 Awo omusajja n’antwala ku mulyango ogwolekera Obuvanjuba,
The man then brought me to the gate that opened to the east.
2 ne ndaba ekitiibwa kya Katonda wa Isirayiri nga kiva Ebuvanjuba, n’eddoboozi lye lyali ng’okuwuuma okw’amazzi amangi, n’ensi n’emasamasa olw’ekitiibwa kye.
Behold! The glory of the God of Israel came from the east; his voice was like the sound of many waters, and the earth shone with his glory.
3 Okwolesebwa kwe nalaba kwali nga kuli kwe nalaba bwe najja okuzikiriza ekibuga, era ng’okwolesebwa kwe nalaba ku lubalama lw’omugga Kebali; ne nvuunama.
It was according to the appearance of the vision that I saw, according to the vision that I saw when he had come to destroy the city, and the visions were like the vision that I saw at the Kebar Canal—and I fell to my face.
4 Awo ekitiibwa kya Mukama ne kiyingira mu yeekaalu nga kiyita mu luggi olwolekera Obuvanjuba,
So the glory of Yahweh came to the house by way of the gate that opened to the east.
5 Omwoyo n’ansitula, n’andeeta mu luggya olw’omunda, n’ekitiibwa kya Mukama ne kijjula yeekaalu.
Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court. Behold! The glory of Yahweh was filling the house.
6 Awo omusajja ng’ayimiridde okunninaana, ne mpulira omuntu ayogera nange ng’asinziira munda mu yeekaalu;
The man was standing beside me, and I heard someone else speaking to me from the house.
7 n’aŋŋamba nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, kino kye kifo eky’entebe ey’obwakabaka bwange, era ekifo eky’ebigere byange mwe nnaabeeranga wakati mu bantu ba Isirayiri emirembe gyonna. Ennyumba ya Isirayiri tebaliddayo kuvvoola linnya lyange ettukuvu, bo newaakubadde bakabaka baabwe, nga basinza emirambo gya bakabaka baabwe mu bifo byabwe ebigulumivu.
He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place for the soles of my feet, where I will live in the midst of the people of Israel forever. The house of Israel will no longer profane my holy name—they or their kings—with their faithlessness or with the corpses of their kings at their high places.
8 Bwe baliraanya omulyango gwabwe okumpi n’ogwange, era n’emifuubeeto gyabwe okumpi n’egyange, ekisenge ekyereere nga kye kyawula nze nabo, bavvoola erinnya lyange ettukuvu n’emizizo gyabwe. Kyennava mbazikiriza n’obusungu bwange.
They will no longer profane my holy name by putting their threshold next to my threshold, and their gateposts next to my gateposts, with nothing but a wall between me and them. They profaned my holy name with their disgusting actions, so I consumed them with my anger.
9 Kaakano baggyewo eby’obugwagwa byabwe, n’okusinza emirambo gya bakabaka baabwe, era babiteeke wala nange, nange naabeeranga wakati mu bo emirembe gyonna.
Now let them remove their faithlessness and the corpses of their kings from before me, and I will live in their midst forever.
10 “Omwana w’omuntu, abantu ba Isirayiri bannyonnyole endabika ya yeekaalu, bakwatibwe ensonyi olw’ebibi byabwe.
Son of man, you yourself must tell the house of Israel about this house so they will be ashamed of their iniquities. They should think about this description.
11 Bwe balikwatirwa ensonyi olw’ebyo byonna bye baakola olibategeeza eyeekaalu bw’efaanana, okutegekebwa kwayo, awafulumirwa n’awayingirirwa, n’ekifaananyi kyayo yonna, era n’ebiragiro byamu n’amateeka gaamu. Obiwandiikire mu maaso gaabwe babeere beesigwa okukuuma ebiragiro byamu.
For if they are ashamed of all that they have done, then reveal to them the design of the house, its details, its exits, its entrances, and all its designs, all its decrees and rules. Then write this down before their eyes so they will keep to all its design and all its rules, so as to obey them.
12 “Etteeka lya yeekaalu lye lino: Ekifo kyonna ekyetoolodde ku ntikko ey’olusozi kinaabeeranga kitukuvu nnyo. Era eryo lye tteeka erya yeekaalu.
This is the regulation for the house: From the peak of the hill to all the surrounding border around it, it will be most holy. Behold! This is the regulation for the house.
13 “Bino bye bipimo by’ekyoto: Entobo yaakyo eriba okukka sentimita amakumi ataano mu munaana n’obugazi sentimita amakumi ataano mu munaana, n’omugo gwakyo ku kamwa kaakyo okwetooloola guliba gwa sentimita amakumi abiri mu bbiri. Obugulumivu bw’ekyoto buliba:
These will be the measurements of the altar in cubits—that cubit being a regular cubit and a handbreadth in length. So the gutter around the altar will be a cubit deep, and its width will also be a cubit. The border around its surrounding edge will be one span. This will be the base of the altar.
14 okuva ku ntobo wansi okutuuka ku mugo ogwa wansi, waliba obugulumivu mita emu ne desimoolo kkumi na mukaaga, obugazi sentimita amakumi ataano mu munaana, ate okuva ku mugo omutono okutuuka ku mugo omunene, obugulumivu mita bbiri ne desimoolo asatu mu bbiri, obugazi sentimita amakumi ataano mu munaana.
From the gutter at the ground level up to the lower ledge of the altar is two cubits, and that ledge itself is one cubit in width. Then from the small ledge up to the large edge of the altar, it is four cubits, and the large edge is a cubit in width.
15 Entobo ey’ekyoto eriba obugulumivu mita bbiri ne desimoolo asatu mu bbiri, n’okuva ku ntobo ey’ekyoto okwambuka waliba amayembe ana.
The hearth on the altar for the burnt offerings is four cubits high, and there are four horns pointing upward on the hearth.
16 Entobo ey’ekyoto eriba ya nsonda nnya, nga zenkanankana, obuwanvu mita mukaaga ne desimoolo kyenda mu mukaaga, n’obugazi mita mukaaga ne desimoolo kyenda mu mukaaga.
The hearth is twelve cubits in length and twelve cubits in width, a square.
17 Omugo ogwa waggulu guliba gwa nsonda nnya ezenkanankana obuwanvu mita munaana ne desimoolo kkumi na bbiri n’obugazi mita munaana ne desimoolo kkumi na bbiri, n’omugo ogugwetooloola guliba obugazi sentimita amakumi abiri mu mwenda, n’entobo yaagwo eriba sentimita ataano mu munaana okugwetooloola. Amadaala ag’ekyoto galitunuulira Ebuvanjuba.”
Its border is fourteen cubits in length and fourteen cubits in width on each of its four sides, and its rim is a half cubit in width. The gutter is a cubit in width all around with its steps facing east.”
18 N’aŋŋamba nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti; Bino bye biriba ebiragiro bye munaagobereranga nga muwaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’okumansira omusaayi ku Kyoto, nga kiwedde okuzimbibwa.
Next he said to me, “Son of man, the Lord Yahweh says this: These are the regulations for the altar on the day they make it, for raising the burnt offering onto it, and for sprinkling blood on it.
19 Muliwaayo ente ennume ento ng’ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi eri bakabona Abaleevi ab’ennyumba ya Zadooki, abampeereza bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
You will give a bull from the cattle as a sin offering for the Levitical priests who are the descendants of Zadok, those who come near to me to serve me—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
20 Oliddira omusaayi ogumu okuva mu nte eyo n’oguteeka ku mayembe ana ag’ekyoto, ne ku nsonda ennya ez’omugo ogwa waggulu ne ku mugo ogwa kamwa kaakyo okwetooloola, ne mutukuza ekyoto era ne mu kitangirira.
Then you will take some of its blood and place it on the altar's four horns and the four sides of its edge and on the surrounding rim; you will cleanse it and make atonement for it.
21 Muliddira ente ennume ey’ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi, ne mugyokera mu kifo ekyalondebwa ekya yeekaalu ebweru w’Awatukuvu.
Then take the bull for the sin offering and burn it in the appointed part of the temple area outside of the sanctuary.
22 “Ku lunaku olwokubiri muliwaayo embuzi ennume eteriiko kamogo okuba ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi, n’ekyoto kiritukuzibwa mu ngeri y’emu nga bwe kyatukuzibwa n’ente ennume.
Then on the second day you will offer a male goat without blemish from the goats as a sin offering; the priests will cleanse the altar just as they cleansed it with the bull.
23 Bwe mulimala okukitukuza, muliwaayo akalume k’ente akato, n’endiga ennume okuva mu kisibo nga teriiko kamogo.
When you finish its cleansing, offer an unblemished bull from the cattle and an unblemished ram from the flock.
24 Mulizireeta mu maaso ga Mukama, bakabona ne bamansira omunnyo ku nnyama yaazo, ne baziwaayo ng’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa eri Mukama.
Offer them before Yahweh; the priests will throw salt onto them and raise them up as a burnt offering to Yahweh.
25 “Mulimala ennaku musanvu nga muwayo embuzi ennume emu buli lunaku ng’ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi. Era muliwaayo n’ente ennume n’endiga ennume, byombi nga tebiriiko kamogo.
You must prepare a male goat as a sin offering daily for seven days, and the priests must also prepare an unblemished bull of the cattle and unblemished ram from the flock.
26 Balimala ennaku musanvu nga batangirira ekyoto era nga bakitukuza; bwe batyo ne bakiwaayo eri Katonda.
They must atone for the altar for seven days and purify it, and in this way they must consecrate it.
27 Oluvannyuma lw’ennaku ezo, okutandika n’olunaku olw’omunaana, bakabona baliwaayo ebiweebwayo byammwe ebyokebwa, n’ebiweebwayo byammwe olw’emirembe ku kyoto. Kale ndibasembeza, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.”
They must complete these days, and on the eighth day and onward it will come about that the priests will prepare your burnt offerings and your peace offerings on the altar, and I will accept you—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.”
