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 twenty-fifth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was struck, in the same day, the LORD’s hand 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 he brought me into Eretz-Israel, and set me down on a very high mountain, on which was something like the frame of a city to 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, behold, 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 will show you; for you have been brought here so that I may show them to you. 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.
Behold, there was a wall on the outside of the house all around, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed six cubits long, of a cubit and a hand width each. So he measured the thickness of the building, one reed; and the height, one 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.
Then he came to the gate which looks towards the east, and went up its steps. He measured the threshold of the gate, one reed wide; and the other threshold, one reed wide.
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 lodge was one reed long and one reed wide. Between the lodges was five cubits. The threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate towards the house was one reed.
8 Dia norefesiny koa ny lavarangan’ ny vavahady, ka eran’ ny volotara koa.
He measured also the porch of the gate towards the house, one 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.
Then he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and its posts, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was towards the house.
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. The three of them were of one measure. The posts had one measure on this side and on that side.
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 width of the opening of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, 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 a border before the lodges, one cubit on this side, and a border, one cubit on that side; and the side rooms, six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.
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 roof of the one side room to the roof of the other, a width of twenty-five cubits, door against door.
14 Ary ny tongo-bato dia noheveriny ho enim-polo hakiho, ary nihatra tamin’ ny tongo-bato ny kianja manodidina ny vavahady.
He also made posts, sixty cubits; and the court reached to the posts, around the gate.
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 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.
There were closed windows to the side rooms, and to their posts within the gate all around, and likewise to the arches. Windows were around inward. Palm trees were on each post.
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. Behold, there were rooms and a pavement made for the court all around. Thirty rooms were on 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, even 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 width from the forefront of the lower gate to the forefront of the inner court outside, one hundred cubits, 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.
He measured the length and width of the gate of the outer court which faces towards the north.
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.
The lodges of it were three on this side and three on that side. Its posts and its arches were the same as the measure of the first gate: its length was fifty cubits, and the width twenty-five cubits.
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.
Its windows, its arches, and its palm trees were the same as the measure of the gate which faces towards the east. They went up to it by seven steps. Its arches were before 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.
There was a gate to the inner court facing the other gate, on the north and on the east. He measured one hundred cubits from gate to gate.
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 towards the south; and behold, there was a gate towards the south. He measured its posts and its arches according to these measurements.
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 arches all around, like the other windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the width twenty-five cubits.
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 arches were before them. It had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, on its posts.
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 towards the south. He measured one hundred cubits from gate to gate towards the south.
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. He measured the south gate according to these measurements;
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.

There were arches all around, twenty-five cubits long and five cubits wide.
31 Ary ny tohany dia nanatrika ny kianja ivelany; ary nisy sarin’ ny hazo rofia teo amin’ ny tongo-batony, ary nisy ambaratonga valo ho fiakarana ao.
Its arches were towards the outer court. Palm trees were on its posts. The ascent to it had eight steps.
32 Dia nentiny niantsinanana aho ho any amin’ ny kianja anatiny, dia norefesiny ny vavahady, ka araka ireo ohatra ireo ihany koa.
He brought me into the inner court towards the east. He measured the gate according to these measurements;
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.

He brought me to the north gate, and he measured it according to these measurements—
36 ary ny trano fiambenany sy ny tongo-batony ary ny tohany, ary nisy varavarankely teo aminy manodidina, dia dimam-polo hakiho ny lavany, ary dimy amby roa-polo hakiho ny sakany.

Its posts were towards the outer court. Palm trees were on its posts on this side and on that side. The ascent to it had eight steps.
38 Ary nisy efi-trano misy varavarana teo anilan’ ny tongo-bato teo am-bavahady, izay nanakobahany ny fanatitra dorana.
A room with its door was by the posts at the gates. They washed the burnt offering there.
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.
In the porch of the gate were two tables on this side and two tables on that side, on which to kill the burnt offering, the sin offering, and the trespass 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.
On the one side outside, as one goes up to the entry of the gate towards the north, were two tables; and on the other side, which belonged to the porch of the gate, were two tables.
41 Nisy latabatra efatra teo amin’ ny ilany iray amin’ ny vavahady ary latabatra efatra koa teo amin’ ny ilany iray, dia latabatra valo izay famonoana.
Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate: eight tables, on which they killed the sacrifices.
42 Ary nisy latabatra efatra natao tamin’ ny vato voapaika ho amin’ ny fanatitra dorana, iray hakiho sy sasany ny lavany, ary iray hakiho sy sasany koa ny sakany, ary iray hakiho ny hahavony; teo no nametrahany ny zavatra famonoana ny fanatitra dorana sy ny fanatitra hafa.
There were four cut stone tables for the burnt offering, a cubit and a half long, a cubit and a half wide, and one cubit high. They laid the instruments with which they killed the burnt offering and the sacrifice on them.
43 Ary nisy fihantonana roa rantsana, vodivoam-pelatanana ny halavany, naorina manodidina eny amin’ ny rindrina; ary natao teo ambonin’ ny latabatra ny hena fanatitra.
The hooks, a hand width long, were fastened within all around. The meat of the offering was on the tables.
44 Ary teo ivelan’ ny vavahady anatiny, teo anilan’ ny vavahady avaratra ka manatrika ny atsimo, dia nisy ireo efi-trano ho an’ ny mpihira teo amin’ ny kianja anatiny, ary nisy iray koa teo anilan’ ny vavahady atsinanana ka nanatrika ny avaratra.
Outside of the inner gate were rooms for the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate. They faced towards the south. One at the side of the east gate faced towards 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, which faces towards the south, is for the priests who perform 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.
The room which faces towards the north is for the priests who perform the duty of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, who from amongst the sons of Levi come near to the LORD 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.
He measured the court, one hundred cubits long and one hundred cubits wide, square. The altar was before the house.

Then he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side. The width of the gate was three cubits on this side and three cubits on that side.
49 Roa-polo hakiho ny lavan’ ny lavarangana fidirana, ary iraika ambin’ ny folo hakiho ny satany; ary ambaratonga no fiakarana ao; ary nisy tongo-bato teo anilan’ ny tolana, iray tamin’ ny lafiny iray, ary iray tamin’ ny lafiny iray koa.
The length of the porch was twenty cubits and the width eleven cubits, even by the steps by which they went up to it. There were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
