Ezeekyeri 46
1 “‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Omulyango ogw’oluggya olw’omunda olutunuulira Ebuvanjuba gunaabanga muggale ennaku mukaaga ezikolerwamu, naye ku lunaku olwa Ssabbiiti ne ku lunaku olw’omwezi ogwakaboneka gunaggulwanga.
“‘This is [also] what [I], Yahweh the Lord, declare: The east entryway of the inner courtyard must be shut during the six days in which people work each week, but on the Sabbath days and on the days when there is a new moon, that entryway must [remain] open until that evening.
2 Omulangira anaayingiriranga mu kisasi okuva ebweru, n’ayimirira awali omufuubeeto ogw’omulyango. Bakabona banaateekateekanga ekiweebwayo kye ekyokebwa n’ebiweebwayo bye olw’emirembe. Anaasinzizanga awayingirirwa ku mulyango; n’oluvannyuma anaafulumanga, naye oluggi teluggalwenga okutuusa akawungeezi.
The king must enter the courtyard through the entry room of the entryway, and stand alongside the entry post. [Then] the priests must sacrifice the animal that the king brought to be completely [on the altar], and also his offering to maintain fellowship with me. The king must worship me at the entrance of the entryway, and then he must go out. [After he leaves], the entryway will not be shut until that evening.
3 Bwe batyo n’abantu ab’omu nsi bateekwa okusinzizanga ku luggi olw’omulyango mu maaso ga Mukama ku Ssabbiiti ne ku myezi egyakaboneka.
On the Sabbath days and on the [days when there is a] new moon, the people must worship [me] at the entrance of the entryway.
4 Ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa omulangira ky’anaaleetanga eri Mukama ku lunaku olwa Ssabbiiti kinaabanga abaana b’endiga ennume mukaaga nga tebaliiko kamogo n’endiga ennume enkulu emu eteriiko kamogo;
The offering that the king brings to be completely burned on the Sabbath day must be six lambs and one ram, all with no defects.
5 n’ekiweebwayo eky’emmere ey’empeke ekinaaweebwangayo n’endiga ennume kinaabanga kilo kkumi na mukaaga, n’ekiweebwayo eky’obutta ekinaaweebwangayo n’abaana b’endiga ennume binaabanga ebirabo, awamu ne lita nnya ez’amafuta eza buli efa.
The offering [that he gives] with the ram must be a bushel of grain, and the grain [that he offers] with the lambs should be as much as he desires to offer, along with (1 gallon/3.8 liters) of [olive] oil for each bushel [of grain].
6 Ku lunaku olw’omwezi ogwakaboneka anaawangayo ente ennume nga nto eteriiko kamogo, n’abaana b’endiga mukaaga n’endiga ennume nga nkulu, ebitaliiko kamogo;
[Then] each day that there is a new moon, he must offer a young bull, six lambs and a ram, all with no defects.
7 era anaawangayo ekiweebwayo eky’emmere ey’empeke kilo kkumi na mukaaga ku lw’ente ennume, n’eky’emmere ey’empeke n’endiga ennume emu, n’abaana b’endiga nga bye birabo, awamu ne lita nnya ez’amafuta eza buli efa.
He must [also] provide one bushel of grain with the bull, one bushel of grain with the ram, and as much grain as he wants with the lambs, along with one quart/liter of [olive] oil with each bushel [of grain].
8 Awo omulangira bw’anaayingiranga, anaayitanga mu kisasi ky’omulyango, era mu kkubo lye limu eryo mw’anaafulumiranga.
When the king enters [the temple area], he must enter through the entry room of the entryway, and he must go out through that same entry room [when he leaves].
9 “‘Abantu ab’omu nsi bwe banajjanga mu maaso ga Mukama ku mbaga ezaalagirwa, buli anaayingiranga mu mulyango ogw’Obukiikakkono okusinza, anaafulumiranga mu mulyango ogw’Obukiikaddyo; ne buli anaayingiriranga mu mulyango ogw’Obukiikaddyo anaafulumiranga mu mulyango ogw’Obukiikakkono; tewaabenga muntu addirayo mu kkubo ery’omulyango mwe yayingiridde, naye anaayitangamu buyisi n’aggukira ku luuyi olwolekera lwe yayingiriddeko.
When the Israeli people come to worship me at the festivals that I have appointed, those who enter the temple area through the north entryway must go out through the south entryway. And those who enter through the south entryway must go out through the north entryway. People must not go out through the entryway through which they entered; they must go out through the opposite entryway.
10 Omulangira anaabeeranga wakati mu bo, bwe banaayingiranga, naye anaayingiranga, bwe banaafulumanga, naye anaafulumanga.
The king must go in when the other people go in, and go out when the people go out.
11 Ku mbaga ne mu biseera ebyalondebwa bino bye binaabanga ebiweebwayo: ekiweebwayo eky’emmere ey’empeke nga kya kilo kkumi na mukaaga n’ente ennume emu ne kilo kkumi na mukaaga ez’emmere ey’empeke n’endiga ennume emu, awamu n’abaana b’endiga ng’omuntu bw’anaayinzanga, ng’okwo kw’otadde lita nnya ez’amafuta eza buli efa.
During the festivals and sacred feasts, the king must present a bushel of grain along with each bull or ram, and as much grain as he wants to bring, along with the lambs and (1 gallon/3.8 liters) of olive oil with each bushel of grain.
12 “‘Awo omulangira bw’anaateekateekanga ekyo ky’asiimye ku bubwe n’akiwaayo eri Mukama, ng’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa oba ng’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe, anaaggulirwangawo omulyango ogutunuulira obuvanjuba, era nnaawangayo ekiweebwayo kye ekyokebwa oba ekiweebwayo kye olw’emirembe nga bw’akola ku lunaku olwa Ssabbiiti. N’oluvannyuma ng’amaze anaafulumanga, omulyango ne guggalwa.
When the king gives an offering that is not required, either one to be completely burned [on the altar] or an offering to maintain fellowship with [me, Yahweh, the entryway on the east side of the courtyard] must be opened for him. Then he must present those offerings like he does on the Sabbath days. Then he must go out, and after he goes out, the entryway must be shut.
13 “‘Munaawangayo omwana gw’endiga ogw’omwaka ogumu ogutaliiko kamogo okuba ekiweebwayo eri Mukama buli lunaku; ekyo munaakikolanga buli nkya.
Every day, during the morning, someone must provide a one-year-old lamb with no defects to be an offering to me that will be completely burned.
14 Munaakiweerangayo n’ekiweebwayo eky’emmere ey’empeke buli nkya, ekiri kilo bbiri n’obutundu musanvu n’ekitundu awamu ne lita ennya ez’amafuta okunnyikiza obutta obulungi okuwangayo ekiweebwayo eky’emmere ey’empeke eri Mukama ekya buli lunaku; kinaabanga ekiragiro ekitaliggwaawo.
Someone must also provide each morning an offering of flour. It must be one sixth of a bushel of flour mixed with one quart/liter of [olive] oil. These offerings of flour and olive oil to must be presented [to me], Yahweh, each day.
15 Noolwekyo omwana gw’endiga n’ekiweebwayo eky’obutta, n’amafuta binaaweebwangayo buli nkya okuba ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa ekya bulijjo.
The lamb and the offering of flour and [olive] oil must be presented to me every morning, to be completely burned on the altar.
16 “‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti; Omulangira bw’anaagabiranga omu ku batabani be ekirabo okuva ku by’omugabo gwe, kinaabanga busika bwa bazzukulu be; era nga bwansikirano.
This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare: If the king gives some of his land to one of his sons, to belong to him permanently, it will then belong to his son’s descendants forever.
17 Naye omulangira bw’anaddiranga ekirabo okuva ku by’omugabo gwe n’akiwa omu ku baddu be, kinaabanga kikye okutuuka ku mwaka ogw’eddembe, n’oluvannyuma kinaddizibwanga omulangira kubanga omugabo gunaabanga gugwe n’abaana be bokka.
However, if he gives some of his land to one of his servants, the servant is allowed to keep that land until the Year of Celebration. Then the king will own it again; the king’s land must belong to his descendants forever.
18 Omulangira taatwalenga ttaka ly’abantu okubagoba mu butaka bwabwe; anaagabiranga abaana be omugabo gwabwe okuva ku butaka bwe, waleme okubaawo omuntu yenna ku bantu bange aggyibwako obutaka bwe.’”
The king must not take any land that the people own and force them to live somewhere else. The land that he gives to his sons must be from his own property, [not from anyone else’s property], in order that none of my people will be forced to leave his own property.’”
19 Awo omusajja n’ampisa mu mulyango ku luuyi olw’omulyango wakati w’ebisenge ebitukuvu ebya bakabona olutunuulira Obukiikakkono, n’andaga ekifo ku luuyi olusembayo Ebugwanjuba.
Then, [in the vision], the man [who was showing the temple area to me] brought me through the entrance alongside the entryway and led me to the sacred rooms on the north side, the rooms that the priests used, and he showed me a place at the western end [of those rooms].
20 N’aŋŋamba nti, “Kino kye kifo bakabona we banaafumbiranga ekiweebwayo olw’omusango n’ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi, era gye banaafumbiranga emigaati egy’ekiweebwayo eky’emmere ey’empeke, baleme okubifulumya mu luggya olw’ebweru okutukuza abantu.”
He said to me, “This is the place where the priests must cook the meat of the offerings that people bring in order to no longer be guilty for having sinned, and offerings for their sins, and where they will bake bread made with the flour brought to be offerings. [They will cook those things in their rooms] in order to avoid bringing them into the outer courtyard [to cook them there], lest someone [be punished because of] touching them.”
21 N’oluvannyuma omusajja n’antwala mu luggya olw’ebweru, n’annambuza ensonda ennya ez’oluggya, mu buli nsonda ne ndabamu oluggya olulala.
Then the man brought me to the outer courtyard and led me to its four corners. In each corner I saw an enclosed area;
22 Mu nsonda ennya ez’oluggya mwalimu empya entonotono obuwanvu mita amakumi abiri mu emu n’obugazi mita kkumi na ttaano ne desimoolo musanvu, era nga za kigera kimu.
each of those areas was (70 feet/21.2 meters) long and (52-1/2 feet/15.9 meters) wide.
23 Munda okwetooloola empya mwalimu ebifo eby’okuweesezaamu nga mulimu n’ebyoto wansi w’embu enjuuyi zonna.
Around the inside of each of those enclosed areas was a stone ledge, with places to make fires all around under each ledge.
24 N’aŋŋamba nti, “Gano ge mafumbiro abaweereza gye banaafumbiranga sssaddaaka abantu ze banaawangayo mu yeekaalu.”
The man said to me, “These are the kitchens where [the descendants of Levi] who work in the temple must cook the sacrifices that the people bring.”
