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,
And he led me forth into the outer court, on the way to the north side; and he brought me into the [row of] chambers that was opposite the main wing, and which was opposite the building toward the north;
2 dia ho eo anoloan’ ilay lavany zato hakiho izay nisy ny varavarana avaratra, ary ny sakany dimam-polo hakiho.
On the front side the length [of which] was a hundred cubits, [up to] the north door, while the breadth was fifty cubits.
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.
Opposite the twenty cubits which were for the inner court, and opposite the pavement which was for the outer court, was corner-pillar before corner-pillar in the three stories.
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.
And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits in breadth toward the inner house, a way of one cubit [in width]; and their doors were toward 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.
Now the upper chambers were shorter [for the corner-pillar took away part of the space from them] than the lowest and than the middle chambers 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.
For they were in three stories, but had not pillars like the pillars of the courts: therefore was something taken off the lowest and the middle ones [as one ascended] from the ground.
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.
And the wall that was without alongside the chambers, toward the outer court in front of the chambers, was in its length fifty cubits.
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.
For the length of the chambers that were in the outer court was fifty cubits; and lo, [the whole space] in front of the temple was one hundred cubits.
9 Ary teo ambanin’ ireo efi-trano ireo dia nisy fidirana avy eo atsinanana, raha miditra amin’ ireo avy eo amin’ ny kianja ivelany.
And beneath these chambers was the entrance from the east side, as one goeth into them from the outer court.
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.
On the breadth of the wall of the court in an eastern direction before the main wing, and before the building, were chambers.
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;
And the way before them was of like appearance as that for the chambers which were on the north side, of the same length and the same breadth; and all their means of egress, and their arrangement, and their doors were of the like manner.
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.
And so also were the doors of the chambers that were on the south side, a door being on the head of the way, of the way directly before the wall on the east side, as one entereth into them.
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.
And he said unto me, The north chambers and the south chambers which are in front of the main wing, —these are the holy chambers, where the priests that approach unto the Lord shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, namely, the meat-offering, and the sin-offering, and the trespass-offering; for the place is holy.
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.
When the priests enter therein, then shall they not go out of the sanctuary into the outer court; but there shall they lay down their garments wherein they may have ministered; for they are holy: and they shall put on other garments, and shall then approach to [the court] which is for the people.
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.
Now when he had finished the measurings of the inner house, he led me forth by the way of the gate which looked in an eastern direction, and measured it all round about.
16 Norefesiny tamin’ ny volotara fandrefasana ny lafiny atsinanana, ka indiman-jaton’ ny volotara manodidina, raha amin’ ny volatara fandrefesana.
He measured the east side with the measuring-rod, five hundred rods, with the measuring-rod round about.
17 Norefesiny koa ny lafiny avaratra, ka indiman-jaton’ ny volotara manodidina, raha amin’ ny volotara fandrefesana.
He measured the north aide, five hundred rods, with the measuring-rod round about.
18 Norefesiny koa ny lafiny atsimo, ka indiman-jaton’ ny volotara, raha amin’ ny volotara fandrefesana.
The south side he measured, five hundred rods, with the measuring-rod.
19 Nitodika nankany amin’ ny lafiny andrefana izy ka nandrefy indiman-jaton’ ny volotara tamin’ ny volotara fandrefesana.
He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred rods with the measuring-rod.
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.
On the four sides did he measure it by the wall that was all round about, five hundred rods in length, and in breadth five hundred, to make a separation between the holy place and the profane.
