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.
In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was struck, in the same day, the hand of YHWH was on me, and he brought me there.
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 the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me down on a very high mountain, whereon was as it were the frame of a city on the south.
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.
He brought me there; and, look, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in 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.
The man said to me, "Son of man, see with your eyes, and hear with your ears, and set your heart on all that I shall show you; for, to the intent that I may show them to you, you are brought here: declare all that you see 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.
Look, a wall on the outside of the house all around, and in the man's hand a measuring reed ten feet four inches (based on a standard eighteen inches plus three inches). So he measured the thickness of the building ten feet four inches, and the height ten feet four inches.
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.
Then came he to the gate which looks toward the east, and went up its steps: and he measured the threshold of the gate, ten feet four inches broad; and the other threshold, ten feet four inches broad.
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.
Every side-room was ten feet four inches long, and one reed broad; and the space between the side-rooms was eight feet seven inches; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate at the inner end was ten feet four inches.
8 Dia norefesiny koa ny lavarangan’ ny vavahady, ka eran’ ny volotara koa.
He measured also the porch of the gate toward the house, ten feet four inches.
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.
Then measured he the porch of the gate, thirteen feet nine inches; and its jambs, three feet five inches; and the porch of the gate was toward the inner end.
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.
The side-rooms of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure: and the jambs had the same measurement.
11 Ary norefesiny koa ny haben’ ny vavahady, ka folo hakiho; ary ny lavan’ ny vavahady dia telo ambin’ ny folo hakiho.
He measured the breadth of the opening of the gate, seventeen feet three inches; and the length of the gate, twenty-two feet five inches;
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 a barrier in front of the side-rooms, twenty-one inches, and a barrier on the other side, twenty-one inches; and the side-rooms were ten feet four inches square.
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.
He measured the gate from the ceiling of the one side-room to the ceiling of the other, a breadth of fourty-three feet one inch; the openings being opposite each other.
14 Ary ny tongo-bato dia noheveriny ho enim-polo hakiho, ary nihatra tamin’ ny tongo-bato ny kianja manodidina ny vavahady.
He also measured the porch, one hundred three feet four inches; and to the jamb of the courtyard was the gateway all around.
15 Ary hatreo anoloan’ ny vavahady fidirana ka hatreo anoloan’ ny lavarangan’ ny vavahady anatiny dia dimam-polo hakiho.
From the forefront of the gate at the entrance to the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were eighty-six feet one inch.
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.
There were closed windows to the side-rooms, and toward their jambs within the gate all around, and likewise to the porches; and windows were around the inside; and on each jamb were palm trees.
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.
Then he brought me into the outer court; and look, there were rooms and a pavement, made for the court all around: thirty rooms faced the pavement.
18 Ary ny lampivato dia teo anilan’ ny vavahady, sady nifanerana tamin’ ny lavan’ ny vavahady: lampivato ambany io.
The pavement was by the side of the gates, corresponding to the length of the gates; this was the lower pavement.
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.
Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate to the forefront of the inner court outside, one hundred seventy-two feet three inches, both on the east and on the north.
20 An norefesiny koa ny lavany sy ny sakan’ ny vavahadin’ ny kianja ivelany, izay nanatrika ny avaratra.
And the gate of the outer court which faced toward the north, he measured its length and its breadth.
21 Ary ny trano fiambenany dia telo avy no teo an-daniny; ary ny tongo-batony sy ny tohany dia nitovy ohatra tamin’ ny vavahady voalohany, ka dimam-polo hakiho ny lavany, ary dimy amby roa-polo hakiho ny sakany.
And its side-rooms were three on either side, and its jambs and its porches had the same measurement as the first gate; its length was eighty-six feet one inch, and the breadth fourty-three feet one inch.
22 Ary ny varavarankeliny sy ny tohany an ny sarin’ ny hazo rofia taminy dia nitovy ohatra tamin’ ny ireo amin’ ny vavahady atsinanana, ary nisy ambaratonga fito ho fiakarana ao; ary ny tohany dia tandrifin’ ireo.
And its windows, and its porches, and the palm trees of it had the same measurement as the gate that faced toward the east. And they went up to it by seven steps; and its porch was in front of them.
23 Ary nisy vavahadin’ ny kianja anatiny, tandrifin’ ny vavahady fidirana manatrika ny avaratra sy ny atsinanana; ka dia norefesiny hatramin’ ny vavahady anankiray ka hatramin’ ny anankiray, ka zato hakiho.
And there was a gate to the inner court across the gate to the north and the east; and he measured from gate to gate one hundred seventy-two feet three inches.
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.
He led me toward the south; and look, a gate toward the south. And he measured its jambs and its porches; they were the same size as the others.
25 Ary nisy varavarankely teo aminy sy teo amin’ ny tohany manodidina, dia tahaka ireo varavarankely ireo ihany koa, ka dimam-polo hakiho ny lavany, ary dimy amby roa-polo hakiho ny sakany.
There were windows in it and in its porches all around, like those windows; the length was eighty-six feet one inch, and the breadth fourty-three feet one inch.
26 Ary nisy ambaratonga fito ho fiakarana ao, ary ny tohany dia tandrifin’ ireo; ary nisy sarin’ ny hazo rofia iray tamin’ ny lafiny iray, ary iray koa tamin’ ny lafiny iray teo amin’ ny tongo-batony.
There were seven steps to go up to it, and its porches were in front of them; and it had palm trees on its jambs, one on either side.
27 Ary nisy vavahady fidirana amin’ ny kianja anatiny teo atsimo, dia norefesiny teo atsimo hatramin’ ny vavahady anankiray ka hatramin’ ny anankiray, ka zato hakiho koa.
There was a gate to the inner court toward the south. And he measured from gate to gate toward the south one hundred seventy-two feet three inches.
28 Ary nentiny niditra tamin’ ny vavahady atsimo ho any amin’ ny kianja anatiny aho; dia norefesiny ny vavahady atsimo, ka araka ireo ohatra ireo ihany koa;
Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate, and it had the same dimensions as the others.
29 ary ny trano fiambenany sy ny tongo-batony ary ny tohany dia araka ireo ohatra ireo ihany koa; ary nisy varavarankely teo aminy sy teo amin’ ny tohany manodidina, dimam-polo hakiho ny lavany, ary dimy amby roa-polo hakiho ny sakany.

And the porches of it faced the outer court, and palm trees were on its jambs, and its stairway had eight steps.

And he brought me to the inner court toward the east, and he measured the gate as being the same size;
33 Ary ny trano fiambenany sy ny tongo-batony ary ny tohany dia araka ireo ohatra ireo ihany koa; ary nisy varavarankely teo aminy sy teo amin’ ny tohany manodidina, dimam-polo hakiho ny lavany, ary dimy amby-roa-polo hakiho ny sakany.
and its side-rooms, and its jambs, and its porches were the same size as the others, and there were windows in it and in its porches all around. It was eighty-six feet one inch long, and fourty-three feet one inch broad.

38 Ary nisy efi-trano misy varavarana teo anilan’ ny tongo-bato teo am-bavahady, izay nanakobahany ny fanatitra dorana.
And a chamber with its door was by the porch of the gate; there they washed the burnt offering.
39 Ary teo amin’ ny lavarangan’ ny vavahady dia nisy latabatra roa avy tamin’ ny lafiny roa hamonoana ny fanatitra dorana sy ny fanatitra noho ny ota ary ny fanati-panonerana.
And in the porch of the gate were two tables on either side, and two tables on that side, on which to slaughter the burnt offering and the sin offering and guilt offering.
40 Ary teo anilany eo ivelany amin’ ny fiakarana hiditra eo amin’ ny vavahady avaratra dia nisy latabatra roa, ary teo anilany anankiray koa teo amin’ ny lavarangan’ ny vavahady, dia nisy latabatra roa koa.

And from the outside of the inner gate were two chambers in the inner court, one which was at the side of the north gate facing toward the south; and one at the side of the south gate facing toward the north.
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.
He said to me, "This room that faces toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the duty of the house;
46 Ary ny efi-trano manatrika ny avaratra kosa dia ho an’ ny mpisorona izay mitandrina ny anjara-raharaha ny amin’ ny alitara, ireo dia taranak’ i Zadoka, izay isan’ ny taranak’ i Levy, ka manatona an’ i Jehovah hanao fanompoam-pivavahana ho Azy.
and the room that faces toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the duty of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok, who from among the sons of Levi come near to YHWH to minister to him."
47 Dia norefesiny ny kianja, ka zato hakiho ny lavany, ary zato hakiho koa ny sakany, dia efa-joro sokera izy; ary ny alitara dia teo anoloan’ ny trano.

Then he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured the jambs of the porch, eight feet seven inches on each side. And the breadth of the gate was twenty-four feet one inch, and the sides of the gate were five feet two inches on each side.
