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,
Next the man sent me out to the outer courtyard on the north side, and he brought me to rooms in front of the outer courtyard and the northern outer wall.
2 dia ho eo anoloan’ ilay lavany zato hakiho izay nisy ny varavarana avaratra, ary ny sakany dimam-polo hakiho.
Those rooms were one hundred cubits along their front and fifty cubits in width.
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.
Some of those rooms faced the inner courtyard and were twenty cubits away from the sanctuary. There were three levels of rooms, and the ones above looked down on the ones below and were open to them, having a walkway. Some of the rooms looked out onto 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.
A passage ten cubits in width and one hundred cubits in length ran in front of the rooms. The rooms' 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.
But the upper halls were smaller, for the walkways took away from them more space than they did in the lowest 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.
For the halls on the third story had no columns, unlike the courtyards, which did have columns. So the highest level's rooms were smaller in size compared to the rooms in the lowest 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.
The outside wall ran along the rooms toward the outer courtyard, the courtyard that was in front of the rooms. That wall was fifty cubits in length.
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 length of the rooms of the outer courtyard was fifty cubits, and the rooms facing the sanctuary were one hundred cubits in length.
9 Ary teo ambanin’ ireo efi-trano ireo dia nisy fidirana avy eo atsinanana, raha miditra amin’ ireo avy eo amin’ ny kianja ivelany.
There was an entrance to the lowest rooms from 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 of the outer courtyard on the eastern side of the outer courtyard, in front of the sanctuary's inner courtyard, there were also rooms
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;
with a walkway in front of them. They were as the appearance of the rooms on the northern side. They had the same length and breadth and the same exits and arrangements and doors.
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.
On the south side were doors into rooms that were just the same as on the north side. A passage on the inside had a door at its head, and the passage opened into the various rooms. On the east side there was a doorway into the passage at one end.
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.
Then the man said to me, “The northern rooms and the southern rooms that are in front of the outer courtyard are holy rooms where the priests who work nearest to Yahweh may eat the most holy food. They will put the most holy things there—the food offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering—for this is a holy place.
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 there, they must not go out of the holy place to the outer court, without laying aside the clothes in which they served, since these are holy. So they must dress in other clothes before going near 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.
The man completed measuring the inner house and then took me out to the gate that faced the east and measured all the surrounding area there.
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 a measuring stick—five hundred cubits with the measuring stick.
17 Norefesiny koa ny lafiny avaratra, ka indiman-jaton’ ny volotara manodidina, raha amin’ ny volotara fandrefesana.
He measured the north side—five hundred cubits with the measuring stick.
18 Norefesiny koa ny lafiny atsimo, ka indiman-jaton’ ny volotara, raha amin’ ny volotara fandrefesana.
He also measured the south side—five hundred cubits with the measuring stick.
19 Nitodika nankany amin’ ny lafiny andrefana izy ka nandrefy indiman-jaton’ ny volotara tamin’ ny volotara fandrefesana.
He also turned and measured the west side—five hundred cubits with the measuring stick.
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.
He measured it on four sides. It had a wall around it that was five hundred cubits in length, and five hundred cubits in width, to separate the holy from that which is common.
