Ezekiela 42
1 Dia nentiny nivoaka nianavaratra ho any amin’ ny kianja ivelany aho, ary nampidiriny ho ao amin’ ny efi-trano tandrifin’ ny kianja voatokana sady tandrifin’ ny trano eo amin’ ny avaratra,
The man took me out through the north gate to the outer courtyard into the rooms on the far side of the Temple courtyard by the northern external wall.
2 dia ho eo anoloan’ ilay lavany zato hakiho izay nisy ny varavarana avaratra, ary ny sakany dimam-polo hakiho.
The building with the north-facing door was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide.
3 Tandrifin’ ny roa-polo hakiho amin’ ny kianja anatiny sady tandrifin’ ny lampivato amin’ ny kianja ivelany dia nisy lalan-tsarany nifanandrify teo amin’ ny trano fahatelo ambony indrindra.
It had three floors of open halls on both sides, one facing the twenty-cubit area of the inner courtyard and one facing the pavement of the outer courtyard.
4 Ary teo anoloan’ ny efi-trano dia nisy lalana, folo hakiho ny sakany, mankao anatiny, ary lalana iray hakiho izany; ary nanatrika ny avaratra ny varavarany.
In front of the rooms was an inside walkway ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long. Their doors opened to the north.
5 Ary nohakelezina ny efi-trano ambony, fa nangalana ho lalantsarany, ka izany no nahakely azy noho ny ambany sy ny an-tenatenany.
The upper rooms were smaller because of the space taken up by the open halls on the lower and middle levels of the building.
6 Fa nifanongoa telo ireo, fa tsy nisy andry tahaka ny andrin’ ny kianja, ka izany no nahakely azy noho ny ao ambany sy ny ao an-tenatenany hatreny an-tany.
Since they didn't have pillars like the courtyards, the upper rooms were set farther back than the lower and middle levels.
7 Ary nisy ampiantany teo ivelany, tandrifin’ ny efi-trano, nanatrika ny kianja ivelany, teo anoloan’ ny efi-trano, ka dimam-polo hakiho ny lavany.
An external wall ran in front of the rooms for fifty cubits long parallel to the outer courtyard.
8 Fa ny lavan’ ireo efi-trano izay teo amin’ ny kianja ivelany dia dimam-polo hakiho; ary, indro, ny teo anoloan’ ny ati-trano lehibe dia zato hakiho.
The rooms on the outer courtyard extended for fifty cubits, but those that faced the Temple were a hundred cubits long.
9 Ary teo ambanin’ ireo efi-trano ireo dia nisy fidirana avy eo atsinanana, raha miditra amin’ ireo avy eo amin’ ny kianja ivelany.
Below these rooms was an entrance on the east side coming from the outer courtyard.
10 Ary nisy efi-trano koa teo amin’ ny sakan’ ny ampiantanin’ ny kianja teo amin’ ny atsinanana, tandrifin’ ny kianja voatokana sady tandrifin’ ny trano.
Along the wall on the south side of the outer courtyard were rooms next to the courtyard and opposite the building.
11 Ary nisy lalana teo anoloany, ary tahaka ny tarehin’ ny efi-trano teo amin’ ny avaratra ny tarehiny, sady mitovy amin’ ny an’ ireo avokoa ny lavany sy ny sakany ary ny fivoahana avy ao aminy mbamin’ ny fombafombany rehetra sy ny varavarany;
There was a walkway in front of them, just like the rooms on the north side. These rooms had the same length and width, the same doors, floor plan, and exits.
12 ary tahaka ny varavaran’ ny efi-trano eo amin’ ny atsimo dia nisiana varavarana koa teo amin’ ny fiandohan’ ny lalana, dia ilay lalana eo anoloan’ ny ampiantany mifanolotra aminy, dia ny lalana avy eo amin’ ny atsinanana, raha miditra ao aminy.
Similarly there was an entrance under the rooms on the south side of the building, coming from the east side.
13 Dia hoy izy tamiko; Ny efi-trano avaratra sy ny efi-trano atsimo, izay eo anoloan’ ny kianja voatokana, dia efi-trano masìna, hihinanan’ ny mpisorona izay manatona an’ i Jehovah ny zavatra masìna indrindra; any no hametrahany izay zavatra masìna indrindra, dia ny fanatitra hohanina sy ny fanatitra noho ny ota ary ny fanati-panonerana: fa masìna io fitoerana io.
The man told me, “The north and south rooms that face the Temple courtyard are holy rooms where the priests who go before the Lord will eat the most holy offerings. They will place the most holy offerings there because the place is holy, and include the grain offerings, the sin offerings, and the guilt offerings.
14 Raha miditra ao ny mpisorona, dia tsy hiala amin’ ny fitoerana masìna ho any amin’ ny kianja ivelany izy, fa ao no hamelany ny fitafiana masìna izay nentiny nanao fanompoam-pivavahana, satria masìna ireo; ary hitafy fitafiana hafa izy vao manatona ny olona.
Once the priests have entered these rooms, they are not to go to the outer courtyard before leaving their priestly clothes, because these are holy. They must change into other clothes before go where the ordinary people are.”
15 Ary nony vita ny nandrefesany ny trano anatiny, dia nentiny nivoaka nankany amin’ ny vavahady izay manatrika ny atsinanana aho, ka norefesiny ny manodidina.
After the man finished measuring inside of the Temple area, he took me out through the east gate, and he measured the surrounding area as well.
16 Norefesiny tamin’ ny volotara fandrefasana ny lafiny atsinanana, ka indiman-jaton’ ny volotara manodidina, raha amin’ ny volatara fandrefesana.
Using the measuring rod he measured the east side. It was five hundred cubits long.
17 Norefesiny koa ny lafiny avaratra, ka indiman-jaton’ ny volotara manodidina, raha amin’ ny volotara fandrefesana.
He measured the north side. It was five hundred cubits long.
18 Norefesiny koa ny lafiny atsimo, ka indiman-jaton’ ny volotara, raha amin’ ny volotara fandrefesana.
He measured the south side. It was five hundred cubits long.
19 Nitodika nankany amin’ ny lafiny andrefana izy ka nandrefy indiman-jaton’ ny volotara tamin’ ny volotara fandrefesana.
And he came around and measured the west side. It was five hundred cubits long.
20 Norefesiny avokoa ny lafiny efatra. Nisy ampiantany manodidina, indiman-jaton’ ny volotara ny lavany, ary indiman-jatony koa ny sakany, hampiavaka ny masìna sy ny tsy masìna.
So he measured all four sides. There was a wall surrounding it, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits wide, separating the holy from the common.
