Ezekiela 43
1 Ary nentiny ho any amin’ ny vavahady aho, dia ilay vavahady manatrika ny atsinanana.
The man took me back to the east gate.
2 Ary, indro, tamy ny voninahitr’ Andriamanitry ny Isiraely avy tany atsinanana; ary ny feony dia tahaka ny firohondrohon’ ny rano be; ary ny tany dia namirapiratra azon’ ny voninahiny.
There I saw the glory of Israel's God coming from the east. His voice sounded like a thundering waterfall, and the earth blazed bright with his glory.
3 Ary ny tarehin’ ny zavatra hitako dia tahaka ny an’ ilay efa hitako, fony aho tonga handrava ny tanàna; ary nisy tahaka ny tarehin’ ilay efa hitako teo amoron’ ny ony Kebara ihany; ka dia nikarapoka nihohoka aho.
The vision I saw was just like the vision I'd seen when he came to destroy the city of Jerusalem and like the visions I'd seen beside the River Kebar. I fell facedown on the ground.
4 Ary ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah dia niditra tamin’ ny vavahady manatrika ny atsinanana ho ao an-trano.
The glory of the Lord entered the Temple through the east gate.
5 Dia nisy fanahy nanainga ahy ka nitondra ahy niditra ho ao amin’ ny kianja anatiny; ary, indro, feno ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah ny trano.
Then the Spirit picked me up and took me into the inner courtyard, and the glory of the Lord filled the Temple.
6 Dia reko fa nisy niteny tamiko tao an-trano; ary nisy lehilahy nitsangana teo anilako.
I heard someone speaking to me from inside the Temple while the man standing beside me.
7 Dia hoy Izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, eto no hitoeran’ ny seza fiandrianako sy hitoeran’ ny faladiako, izay honenako mandrakizay eto amin’ ny zanak’ Isiraely; ary tsy holotoin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely, na izy na ny mpanjakany, amin’ ny fijangajangany sy amin’ ny sampin’ ny mpanjakany ao amin’ ny fitoerany avo intsony ny anarako masìna,
He told me, “Son of man, this is where I have my throne. It's my home where I will live among the Israelites forever. The people of Israel and their kings won't ever again disgrace me and my holiness by their acts of prostitution and by their honoring their dead kings in their pagan high places.
8 tamin’ ny nametrahany ny tokonam-baravaran’ ireny teo anilan’ ny tokonam-baravarako sy ny tolan’ ireny teo anilan’ ny tolako, rindrina ihany no teo anelanelako sy ireny, dia nolotoiny tamin’ ny fahavetavetana nataony ny anarako masìna; ka dia nahalany ringana azy tamin’ ny fahatezerako Aho.
When they built their homes right next to mine—their threshold beside my threshold and their doorposts beside my doorposts, with only a wall separating us—they disgraced me and my holiness by the disgusting sins they committed. That's why I destroyed them in my anger.
9 Fa amin’ izao kosa dia aoka hariany lavitra Ahy ny fijangajangany sy ny sampin’ ny mpanjakany, ka dia honina ao aminy mandrakizay Aho.
Now if they get rid of their prostitution and their pagan honoring of their dead kings, and I will live with them forever.
10 Hianao, ry zanak’ olona, asehoy amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely ny trano mba hahamenatra azy ny amin’ ny helony, ka dia horefesiny ny mari-trano.
Son of man, tell the people of Israel about the Temple and they'll be ashamed of their sins. Have them carefully consider its plan,
11 Ary raha menatra ny amin’ izay rehetra efa nataony izy, dia asehoy azy ny endriky ny trano mbamin’ ny fombafombany sy ny fivoahana avy ao aminy sy ny fidirana ho ao aminy ary ny endriny rehetra sy ny didy rehetra aminy, eny, ny endriny rehetra ary ny lalàna rehetra aminy; koa soraty eo imasony izany, hitandremany ny endriny rehetra ary ny lalàny rehetra ka hanatanterahany izany.
and if they're ashamed of everything they've done, then explain to them the Temple's design, its layout, exits, and entrances—the complete plan—as well as all its regulations, specifications, and laws. Write them down as they watch, so that they can remember its complete plan and follow all its regulations.
12 Izao no lalàna amin’ ny trano: Ho masìna dia ho masìna avokoa izay rehetra voafaritra ho azy eo an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra. Eny, izany no lalana amin’ ny trano.
This is the Temple law: the whole area around the Temple on the mountain top is very holy. Pay attention: this is the Temple law.
13 Ary izao no mariky ny alitara araka ny hakiho, nefa isaky ny hakiho iray dia mihoatra vodivoam-pelatanana noho ny fanao: Ny fara-vodiny dia iray hakiho, ary iray hakiho koa ny sakany, ary ny koronosiny manodidina dia irain-jehy; ireo no fiorenan’ ny alitara.
These are the measurements of the altar in cubits (a cubit and the width of a hand): The gutter is to be one cubit deep and one cubit wide, with a rim one hand span wide along its edge. The back of the altar
14 Ary hatramin’ ny fara-vodiny eo amin’ ny tany ka hatramin’ ny rindriny ambany dia roa hakiho, ary ny sakany dia iray hakiho; ary hatramin’ ny rindriny iva ka hatramin’ ny rindriny avo dia efatra hakiho; ary ny sakany dia iray hakiho.
measured from the gutter on the ground to the lower ledge is to be two cubits. The ledge will measure one cubit wide. The distance from the smaller ledge to the larger ledge is to be four cubits, and the ledge one cubit wide.
15 Ary ny fanambonin’ ny alitara dia ho efatra hakiho, ary eo ambonin’ ny fatana dia hisy tandroka efatra.
The altar hearth is to be four cubits high, with four horns pointing upwards from it.
16 Roa ambin’ ny folo hakiho ny lavan’ ny fatana, ary roa ambin’ ny folo hakiho koa ny sakany, ary efa-joro sokera izy,
The altar hearth shall be square, its four sides each measuring twelve cubits.
17 Ary ny rindriny dia efatra ambin’ ny folo hakiho ny lavany, sy efatra ambin’ ny folo hakiho koa ny sakany, amin’ ny lafiny efatra; ary ny koronosiny manodidina dia antsasaky ny hakiho; ary ny fara-vodiny dia iray hakiho manodidina; ary ny ambaratongany dia manatrika ny atsinanana.
The ledge is also to be square, measuring fourteen cubits by fourteen cubits, with a half-cubit rim and a one-cubit gutter all around it. The altar steps are to face the east.”
18 Ary hoy izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Izao no didy ny amin’ ny alitara amin’ izay andro hanaovana azy, hanaterana fanatitra dorana sy hanopazana rà aminy:
Then he told me: “Son of man, this is what the Lord God says: These are the regulations regarding the altar once it's built, so that it can be used to sacrifice burnt offerings and to sprinkle blood on it:
19 Ny Levita mpisorona, taranak’ i zadoka, izay manatona Ahy hanao fanompoam-pivavahana ho Ahy, dia homenao vantotr’ ombilahy iray hatao fanatitra noho ny ota, hoy Jehovah Tompo.
You shall give a young bull as a sin offering to the Leviticus priests from the family of Zadok, who come and minister before me, declares the Lord God.
20 Dia hangalanao ny ràny ka hatentinao amin’ ny tandrony efatra sy amin’ ny zorony efatra amin’ ny rindriny ary amin’ ny koronosiny manodidina; izany no hanadiovanao azy sy hanaovanao fanavotana ho azy.
Take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar, on the four corners of the ledge, and all the way round the rim. This is how you shall purify the altar and set it right.
21 Halainao koa ny vantotr’ ombilahy hatao fanatitra noho ny ota ka hodorana ao amin’ ny fitoerana voatendry ao amin’ ny trano ivelan’ ny fitoerana masìna.
Then remove the bull for the sin offering and burn it in the designated place of the Temple area outside the sanctuary.
22 Ary amin’ ny andro faharoa no hanateranao osilahy tsy misy kilema hatao fanatitra noho ny ota; ary hodioviny ny alitara tahaka ny nanadiovany azy tamin’ ny vantotr’ ombilahy.
On the second day you are to bring as male goat without defects as a sin offering, and the altar shall be purified as it was purified with the bull.
23 Ary rehefa vita ny anadiovanao azy, dia hanatitra vantotr’ ombilahy tsy misy kilema sy ondrilahy tsy misy kilema ianao.
After you've finished the purifying process, you are to present a young bull and a ram, both free from defects.
24 Ary haterinao eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ireo, ary ny mpisorona handraraka sira eo aminy, dia hanatitra azy ho fanatitra dorana ho an’ i Jehovah.
You are to offer them to the Lord. The priests shall sprinkle salt on them and sacrifice them to the Lord as a burnt offering.
25 Hafitoana no hanateranao osilahy isan’ andro hatao fanatitra noho ny ota sy vantotr’ ombilahy sy ondrilahy izay tsy misy kilema.
For seven days you are to supply a male goat daily for a sin offering. You are also to supply a young bull and a ram, they are both to have no defects.
26 Hafitoana no hanaovany fanavotana ho an’ ny alitara sy hanadiovany azy ary hanokanany azy.
For seven days the priests are to set the altar right and purify it. This is how they will dedicate it.
27 Ary rehefa tapitra izany andro izany, dia hiantomboka amin’ ny andro fahavalo ny hanateran’ ny mpisorona ny fanatitra doranareo ao amin’ ny alitara sy ny fanati-pihavananareo; ary dia hankasitrahako ianareo, hoy Jehovah Tompo.
Once these days are over, then from the eighth day the priests are to present the burnt offerings and peace offerings of your people on the altar. Then I will accept all of you, declares the Lord God.”
