Ezekiela 40
1 Tamin’ ny taona fahadimy amby roa-polo taorian’ ny namaboana antsika, tamin’ ny niandohan’ ny taona, dia tamin’ ny andro fahafolo tamin’ ny volana, tamin’ ny taona fahefatra ambin’ ny folo taorian’ ny namelezana ny tanàna, tamin’ izany andro izany dia tamiko ny tànan’ i Jehovah, ka nitondra ahy ho any Izy.
And it came to pass in the twenty-fifth year of our captivity, in the first month, on the tenth [day] of the month, in the fourteenth year after the taking of the city, in that day the hand of the Lord was upon me, and brought me
2 Fahitana avy amin’ Andriamanitra no nitondrany ahy ho any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely, ka napetrany teo an-tendrombohitra avo dia avo aho, ary nisy nitarehin-tanàna teo amin’ ny ilany atsimo.
in a vision of God into the land of Israel, and set me on a very high mountain, and upon it [there was] as it were the frame of a city before [me].
3 Dia nentiny nankao aho, ka, indro, nisy lehilahy izay nitarehim-barahina, nitondra tady rongony teny an-tànany sy volotara fandrefesana, ary nitsangana teo am-bavahady izy.
And he brought me in thither, and, behold, [there was] a man, and the appearance of him was as the appearance of shining brass, and in his hand was a builder's line, and a measuring reed; and he stood at the gate.
4 Dia hoy ralehilahy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, mijere amin’ ny masonao, ary mihainoa amin’ ny sofinao, ary aoka ny fonao handinika izay rehetra hasehoko anao; fa ny hanehoako anao izao no nitondrana anao eto. Ambarao amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely izay rehetra hitanao.
And the man said to me, Look with thine eyes at him whom thou hast seen, son of man, and hear with thine ears, and lay up in thine heart all things that I show thee; for thou hast come in hither that [I] might show thee, and thou shalt show all things that thou seest to the house of Israel.
5 Ary, indro, nisy ampiantany vato manodidina teny ivelan’ ny trano, ary eny an-tanan-dralehilahy nisy volotara fandrefesana, enina hakiho ny halavany, kanefa isaky ny hakiho iray dia nihoatra vodivoam-pelatanana noho ny fanao; ka dia norefesiny ny hatevin’ ny ampiantany, ka eran’ ny volotara, ary ny hahavony dia eran’ ny volotara koa.
And behold a wall round about the house without, and in the man's hand a reed, the measure [of it was] six cubits by the cubit, and a span: and he measured across the front wall; the breadth was equal to the reed, and the length of it equal to the reed.
6 Dia tonga teo amin’ ny vavahady manatrita ny atsinanana izy ka niakatra tamin’ ny ambaratongany dia nandrefy ny tokonam-bavahady, ka eran’ ny volotara ny sakany, dia ny tokonana voalohany izany, ka eran’ ny volotara ny sakany.
And he entered by seven steps into the gate that looks eastward, and he measured across the porch of the gate equal to the reed.
7 Ary ny trano fiambenana, dia eran’ ny volotara ny lavany, ary eran’ ny volotara koa ny sakany; ary ny elanelan’ ny trano fiambenana dia dimy hakiho; ary ny tokonam-bavahady eo anilan’ ny lavarangan’ ny vavahady anatiny dia eran’ ny volotara.
And the chamber was equal in length to the reed, and equal in breadth to the reed; and the porch between the chambers six cubits; and the second chamber equal in breadth to the reed, and equal in length to the reed, and the porch five cubits.
8 Dia norefesiny koa ny lavarangan’ ny vavahady, ka eran’ ny volotara koa.
And the third chamber equal in length to the reed, and equal in breadth to the reed.
9 Ary norefesiny ny lavarangan’ ny vavahady, ka valo hakiho; ary ny tongo-batony dia roa hakiho; ary ny lavarangan’ ny vavahady dia teo anatiny.
And the porch of the gateway (near the porch of the gate) eight cubits; and the posts there of two cubits; and the porch of the gate was inward:
10 Ary ny trano fiambenana teo amin’ ny vavahady atsinanana dia telo avy no teo an-daniny; mitovy ohatra izy telo, ary mitovy ohatra koa ny tongo-bato teo amin’ ny lafiny roa.
and the chambers of the gate of the chamber in front [were] three on one side and three on the other, and [there was] one measure to the three: [there was] one measure to the porches on this side and on that.
11 Ary norefesiny koa ny haben’ ny vavahady, ka folo hakiho; ary ny lavan’ ny vavahady dia telo ambin’ ny folo hakiho.
And he measured the breadth of the door of the gateway, ten cubits; and the breadth of the gateway thirteen cubits.
12 Ary nisy nifefy teo anoloan’ ny trano fiambenana, ka iray hakiho avy no teo an-daniny roa; ary ny trano fiambenana, dia enina hakiho ny tamin’ ny lafiny iray, ary enina hakiho koa ny tamin’ ny lafiny iray.
And the space before the chambers was narrowed to a cubit in front of the chambers on this side and on that side: and the chamber was six cubits this way, and six cubits that way.
13 Dia norefesiny koa ny vavahady hatramin’ ny tafon’ ny trano fiambenana iray ka hatramin’ ny tafon’ ny iray koa, ka dimy amby roa-polo hakiho ny sakany, ary mifanatrika ny varavarana.
And he measured the gate from the wall of one chamber to the wall of the other chamber: the breadth was twenty-five cubits, the one gate over against the other gate.
14 Ary ny tongo-bato dia noheveriny ho enim-polo hakiho, ary nihatra tamin’ ny tongo-bato ny kianja manodidina ny vavahady.
And the open space of the porch of the gate without, was twenty cubits to the chambers round about the gate.
15 Ary hatreo anoloan’ ny vavahady fidirana ka hatreo anoloan’ ny lavarangan’ ny vavahady anatiny dia dimam-polo hakiho.
And the open space of the gate without to the open space of the porch of the gate within was fifty cubits.
16 Ary nisy varavarankely makarakara tsy mivoha manodidina, na ao amin’ ny trano fiambenana, na amin’ ny tongo-bato ao anatin’ ny vavahady; ary toy izany koa amin’ ny tohany; ary ny ao anatiny dia nisy varavarankely manodidina; ary teo amin’ ny tongo-bato rehetra dia samy nisy sarin’ ny hazo rofia avokoa.
And [there were] secret windows to the chambers, and to the porches within the gate of the court round about, and in the same manner windows to the porches round about within: and on the porch [there were] palm-trees on this side and on that side.
17 Dia nentiny ho any amin’ ny kianja ivelany aho, ary, indro, nisy efi-trano madinika sy lampivato teny amin’ ny kianja manodidina: nisy efi-trano telo-polo teny amin’ ny lampivato.
And he brought me into the inner court, and, behold, [there were] chambers, and peristyles round about the court; thirty chambers within the ranges of columns.
18 Ary ny lampivato dia teo anilan’ ny vavahady, sady nifanerana tamin’ ny lavan’ ny vavahady: lampivato ambany io.
And the porticos were behind the gates; according to the length of the gates, was the lower peristyle.
19 Dia norefesiny koa ny sakany hatreo anoloan’ ny vavahady ambany ka hatreo anoloan’ ny kianja anatiny, dia hatreo amin’ ny ivelany, ka zato hakiho, dia teo atsinanana sy teo avaratra.
And he measured the breadth of the court, from the open space of the outer gate inwards to the open space of the gate looking outwards: a hundred cubits [was the distance to the place] of the gate looking eastward: and he brought me to the north;
20 An norefesiny koa ny lavany sy ny sakan’ ny vavahadin’ ny kianja ivelany, izay nanatrika ny avaratra.

And [there was] a gate to the inner court looking toward the north gate, after the manner of the gate looking toward the east; and he measured the court from gate to gate, a hundred cubits.
24 Dia nentiny nianatsimo aho, ka, indro, nisy vavahady teo atsimo; ka norefesiny ny tongo-batony sy ny tohany, ka araka ireo ohatra ireo ihany koa.
And he brought me to the south side, and behold a gate looking southwards: and he measured it, and its chambers, and its posts, and its porches, according to these dimensions.

45 Ary hoy izy tamiko: Ity efi-trano manatrika ny atsimo ity dia ho an’ ny mpisorona izay mitandrina ny anjara-raharahany amin’ ny trano.
And he said to me, This chamber that looks to the south, is for the priests that keep the charge of the house.
