Ezekiela 40
1 Ie amy taom-paha roapolo lim’ ambi’ i fandrohiza’aiy, amy loha-taoñey, amy andro valoha’ i volañeiy, le amy taom-paha-folo-efats’ ambi’ ty fandafañe i rovay, le tamako amy andro zay ty fità’ Iehovà vaho nendese’e mb’eo.
In the twenty-fifth year of our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month—in the fourteenth year after Jerusalem had been struck down—on that very day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and He took me there.
2 Ie amo aroñaron’ Añahareo, le nendese’e mb’an-tane’ Israele añe naho napo’e ambone’ ty vohitse mitiotiotse eo, vaho ama’e ey ty firafin-drova mañatimo.
In visions of God He took me to the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain, on whose southern slope was a structure that resembled a city.
3 Teo ty nendese’e ahy, le ingo t’indaty hoe tarehen-torisìke ty vinta’e, nitintiñe taly leny am-pità’e naho kobaim-panjeheañe; nijohañe an-dalambey ey.
So He took me there, and I saw a man whose appearance was like bronze. He was standing in the gateway with a linen cord and a measuring rod in his hand.
4 Le hoe indatiy tamako: O ana’ ondatio, mahaisaha am-pihaino, naho mijanjiña an-dravembia, vaho ajadoño an-tro’o ao ze he’e haboako, fa nendeseko etoañe hanoroako azo; hene taroño amy anjomba’ Israeley ze oni’o.
“Son of man,” he said to me, “look with your eyes, hear with your ears, and pay attention to everything I am going to show you, for that is why you have been brought here. Report to the house of Israel everything you see.”
5 Ingo ty kijoly alafe’ i anjombay mañarikatoke aze; ampità’ indatiy ty kobaim-panjeheañe, enen-kiho-lava ty andava’e, kiho raike itovoñam-pohem-pitañe i kiho zay; aa le zinehe’e ty ampohe’ i kijoliy: kobaiñe raike, naho ty haabo’e: kobaiñe raike.
And I saw a wall surrounding the temple area. Now the length of the measuring rod in the man’s hand was six long cubits (each measuring a cubit and a handbreadth), and he measured the wall to be one rod thick and one rod high.
6 Niheo mb’amy lalambey mitolik’ atiñanan-dre le niañambone’ i fanonga’ey, vaho zinehe’e ty tokona’ i lalambeiy, kobaiñe raike ty ampohe’e, le ty tokona’e ila’e: kobaiñe raike ty ampohe’e.
Then he came to the gate facing east and climbed its steps. He measured the threshold of the gate to be one rod deep.
7 Le ty trañom-pigaritse, kobay raike ty andava’e naho kobay raike ty ampohe’e; kiho lime ty añivo’ i traño rey, vaho kobay raike ty takona’ i lalañe amy lavaranga’ i lalambey miatreke i anjombaiiy.
Each gate chamber was one rod long and one rod wide, and there were five cubits between the gate chambers. The inner threshold of the gate by the portico facing inward was one rod deep.
8 Zinehe’e ka ty tokona’ añate’ i lalambey, kobaiñe raike.
Then he measured the portico of the gateway inside;
9 Le zinehe’e ty treha’ i tokonan-dalambeiy: kiho valo; naho o tolà’eo: kiho roe; vaho niatreke i anjombay ty fiziliha’ i lalambeiy.
it was eight cubits deep, and its jambs were two cubits thick. And the portico of the gateway faced the temple.
10 Trañom-pigaritse telo ty añ’ila’ i lalambey atiñanañey etoy naho telo añ’ ila’e aroy, mira ty zehe’ i telo rey; vaho sindre aman-jehen-tolàñe mira ty añ’ila’e atoy naho ty añ’ila’e aroy.
There were three gate chambers on each side of the east gate, each with the same measurements, and the gateposts on either side also had the same measurements.
11 Zinehe’e ka ty am-pohe’ i fizilihan-dalambeiy: kiho folo; naho ty andava’ i lalambeiy: kiho folo-telo’ amby.
And he measured the width of the gateway entrance to be ten cubits, and its length was thirteen cubits.
12 Ty jeba’e aolo’ o efe-trañoo le kiho raik’ añ’ila’e atoy naho kiho raik’ añ’ila’e eroy; i efe-traño rey le enen-kiho añ’ila’e etoy naho enen-kiho ty eroy.
In front of each gate chamber was a wall one cubit high, and the gate chambers were six cubits square.
13 Zinehe’e ka ty lalambey boak’ ami’ty tafon-efe-traño raike pak’ an-tafo’ i raikey; kiho roapolo-lim’amby, an-dalañe miatre-dalañe.
Then he measured the gateway from the roof of one gate chamber to the roof of the opposite one; the distance was twenty-five cubits from doorway to doorway.
14 Nanoe’e tolàñe ka, kiho enempolo, le nanahake izay o lalambey sisa añ’ariari’ i kiririsaio.
Next he measured the gateposts to be sixty cubits high. The gateway extended around to the gatepost of the courtyard.
15 Le boak’an-tarehe’ i lalam-pizilihañey pak’ an-tarehe’ ty figadoña’ i efe-pizilihañey, limampolo kiho.
And the distance from the entrance of the gateway to the far end of its inner portico was fifty cubits.
16 Songa reke-pikatohañe o lalan-kede amy efe-traño rey naho amo tolà’e añate’ i lalambeio mb’eo mb’eo, le izay ka amo mivokokeo, vaho mañariary o efe-traño am-po’ iareoo o lalan-kede’eo; sindre aman-tsatrañe o tolàñeo.
The gate chambers and their side pillars had beveled windows all around the inside of the gateway. The porticos also had windows all around on the inside. Each side pillar was decorated with palm trees.
17 Nendese’e an-kiririsa añate’e ao iraho, le ingo ty efe-traño naho ty dalaze am-bato hara’e tsaratseak’ añ’ ariari’ i kiririsay; efe-traño telopolo ty niatreke i dalazey.
Then he brought me into the outer court, and there were chambers and a pavement laid out all around the court. Thirty chambers faced the pavement,
18 Tañ’ila’ o lalambeio i damokey ty amy halava’ o fizilihañeoy, i damok’ ambaney izay.
which flanked the gateways and corresponded to the length of the gates; this was the lower pavement.
19 Zinehe’e maniñana boak’ am-piatrefa’ i lalambey ambaney pak’am-para’ i kiririsa añate’ey, kiho zato, vaho hoe izay ka ty mañavaratse.
Then he measured the distance from the front of the lower gateway to the outside of the inner court; it was a hundred cubits on the east side as well as on the north.
20 Le nizehe’e ty andava naho ty am-pohe’ i lalambein-kiririsa’ alafe’e nitolik’ avaratsey.
He also measured the length and width of the gateway of the outer court facing north.
21 Telo ty trañom-pigaritse añ’ila’e etoy naho telo ty añ’ila’e eroy; ie mira amo nizeheñe amy lalambey valoha’ey naho o tolañeo naho o vokokeo; kiho limampolo ty andava’e le kiho roapolo-lim’ amby ty ampohe’e.
Its three gate chambers on each side, its side pillars, and its portico all had the same measurements as the first gate: fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
22 Mira amo nanjeheañe amy lalambey nitolik’ atiñanañeio o lalan-kede’eo naho o lavaranga’eo vaho o satra’eo; fanongañe fito ty mañambone ama’e le aolo’ iareo eo i lavaranga’ey.
Its windows, portico, and palm trees had the same measurements as those of the gate facing east. Seven steps led up to it, with its portico opposite them.
23 Manahake i lalam-bey atiñanañey le mitolik’ amy lalam-bein-kiririsa añate’e ty lalambey avaratse, ie zinehe’e boak’an-dalambey pak’an-dalambey tandrife: le kiho zato.
There was a gate to the inner court facing the north gate, just as there was on the east. He measured the distance from gateway to gateway to be a hundred cubits.
24 Ie amy zay nendese’e mañatimo, le inge ty lalambey mitolik’ atimo: zinehe’e o tolà’eo naho o voko’eo, le nira amy nizehèñe rey.
Then he led me to the south side, and I saw a gateway facing south. He measured its side pillars and portico, and they had the same measurements as the others.
25 Manahake o ila’eo o lalan-kede niariary aze naho o voko’eo; kiho limampolo ty andava’e naho kiho roapolo-lim’ amby ty am-pohe’e.
Both the gateway and its portico had windows all around, like the other windows. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
26 Fito ty fanongañe miañambone ama’e, le aolo’ iareo o voko’eo; nitemeren-tsatrañe o tolà’eo, ty añ’ila’e etoy naho ty añ’ila’e eroy.
Seven steps led up to it, and its portico was opposite them; it had palm trees on its side pillars, one on each side.
27 Teo ty lalambey nitolik’ atimo amy kiririsa añate’ey; zinehe’e ty boak’an-dalambey pak’ an-dalambey atimo, zato kiho.
The inner court also had a gate facing south, and he measured the distance from gateway to gateway toward the south to be a hundred cubits.
28 Nendese’e nizilik’ an-dalam-bey atimo mb’an-kiririsa añate’e mb’eo; le zinehe’e i lalam-bey atimoy ie nira amy nanjeheañe o ila’eoy;
Next he brought me into the inner court through the south gate, and he measured the south gate; it had the same measurements as the others.
29 mira amy nanjeheañe rey ka o efe-traño’eo, naho o tolà’eo naho o voko’eo; mañariary aze naho o voko’eo o lalan-kede’eo; kiho limampolo ty an-dava’e vaho roa-polo-lim’ amby ty am-pohe’e.
Its gate chambers, side pillars, and portico had the same measurements as the others. Both the gateway and its portico had windows all around; it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
30 Vokoke ty nañariary aze, kiho roapolo-lim’ amby ty an-dava’e naho kiho lime ty ampohe’e.
(The porticoes around the inner court were twenty-five cubits long and five cubits deep.)
31 Miakatse an-kiririsa alafe’e ao o voko’eo, hene aman-tsatrañe o tolà’eo, valo ty fanongañe miañambone ama’e.
Its portico faced the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees. Eight steps led up to it.
32 Nendese’e mb’añ’ila atiñana’ i kiririsa añate’ey mb’eo iraho; le zinehe’e i lalambeiy t’ie nira amo ila’eo.
And he brought me to the inner court on the east side, and he measured the gateway; it had the same measurements as the others.
33 Mira ami’ty zehe’ o ila’eo ka o efe-traño’eo, naho o tolà’eo, naho o voko’eo; mañariary aze naho o voko’eo o lalan-kede’eo; kiho limampolo ty andava’e naho kiho roapolo-lim’ amby ty ampohe’e.
Its gate chambers, side pillars, and portico had the same measurements as the others. Both the gateway and its portico had windows all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
34 Miakatse mb’ an-kiririsa alafe’e mb’eo o voko’eo, sindre reke-tsatrañe o tolà’eo añ’ ila’e etoy naho añ’ ila’e eroy; valo ty fanongañe miañambone ama’e.
Its portico faced the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees on each side. Eight steps led up to it.
35 Le nendese’e mb’amy lalam-bey avaratsey mb’eo, naho zinehe’e te mira ami’ty zehe’ o ila’eo:
Then he brought me to the north gate and measured it. It had the same measurements as the others,
36 o efe-traño’eo, o tolà’eo naho o voko’eo; vaho mañariary aze o lalan-kede’eo; kiho limampolo ty andava’e naho kiho roapolo-lim’ amby ty ampohe’e.
as did its gate chambers, side pillars, and portico. It also had windows all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
37 Mimoak’ an-kiririsa alafe’e ao o tolà’eo; nitemeren-tsatrañe o tolà’e añ’ila’e etoy naho añ’ila’e eroio, valo ty fanongañe miañambone ama’e.
Its portico faced the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees on each side. Eight steps led up to it.
38 Añivo o tolà’ i lalambei’eio ty fizilihañe mb’ami’ty traño-kede; ao ty fanasañe o hisoroñañeo.
There was a chamber with a doorway by the portico in each of the inner gateways. There the burnt offering was to be washed.
39 Le amy fizilihañey ty rairay roe añ’ila’e etoy naho ty roe añ’ila’e eroy, handentàñe o soroñeo, o engan-kakeoo naho o engan-tahiñeo.
Inside the portico of the gateway were two tables on each side, on which the burnt offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings were to be slaughtered.
40 Rairay roe ty añ’ila’ alafe’ i fanongañe mimoak’ an-dalam-bey avaratsey; naho rairay roe ty añ’ila’e ka, amy fizilihañe i lalambeiy ao.
Outside, as one goes up to the entrance of the north gateway, there were two tables on one side and two more tables on the other side of the gate’s portico.
41 Aa le rairay efatse ty añ’ ila’e etoy, naho rairay efatse ty añ’ila’ ty lalambey eroy; rairay fandentàñe valo.
So there were four tables inside the gateway and four outside—eight tables in all—on which the sacrifices were to be slaughtered.
42 Nanoeñe vato tsinerake i rairay efats’ o soron-koroañeo rey, kiho raike tsy tampa’e ty andava’e naho kiho raike tsy tampa’e ty ampohe’e, vaho kiho raike ty haabo’e; ie ambone’e eo ty fampipohañe haraom-pandentàñe engan-ko lorañe naho soroñe.
There were also four tables of dressed stone for the burnt offering, each a cubit and a half long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit high. On these were placed the utensils used to slaughter the burnt offerings and the other sacrifices.
43 Nirekets’ añ’ ariari’ i trañoy ty porengotse maro, sindre zehem-pitàñe ty andava’e; naho amy rairay rey i hena hisoroñañey.
The double-pronged hooks, each a handbreadth long, were fastened all around the inside of the room, and the flesh of the offering was to be placed on the tables.
44 Alafe’ i lalambei’ añate’ey an-kiririsa’ añate’e añ’ila’ i lalambey avaratsey ty trañom-pisabo miatrek’ atimo, teo ka ty añ’ila’ i lalambey atiñanañey miatrek’ avaratse.
Outside the inner gate, within the inner court, were two chambers, one beside the north gate and facing south, and another beside the south gate and facing north.
45 Le hoe re amako, Ty traño miatrek’ atimo toy le a o mpisoroñe mitoloñe amy anjombaio.
Then the man said to me: “The chamber that faces south is for the priests who keep charge of the temple,
46 I traño miatrek’ avaratsey le a’ o mpisoroñe mitoroñe amy kitreliio; o ana’ i Tsadoke kinoik’ amo ana’ i Levio ro hitotok’ am’ Iehovà hiatrak’ azeo.
and the chamber that faces north is for the priests who keep charge of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, the only Levites who may approach the LORD to minister before Him.”
47 Zinehe’e ka i kiririsay, kiho zato ty andava’e naho kiho zato ty ampohe’e, efa-mira; aolo’ i anjombay ty kitrely.
Next he measured the court. It was square, a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide. And the altar was in front of the temple.
48 Le nendese’e mb’am-piziliha’ i anjombay iraho, vaho zinehe’e o tolà’ i fizilihañeio: kiho lime ty añ’ ila’e etoy naho kiho lime ty añ’ ila’e eroy; kiho telo ka ty am-pohe’ i lalambeiy añ’ ila’e etoy naho telo kiho ty añ’ ila’e eroy.
Then he brought me to the portico of the temple and measured the side pillars of the portico to be five cubits on each side. The width of the gateway was fourteen cubits and its sidewalls were three cubits on either side.
49 Kiho roapolo ty andava’ i fizilihañey, naho kiho folo-raik’ amby ty ampohe’e; fanongañe ty fimoahañe; tsotsòke raike ty añ’ila’ o tolà’eo etoy naho raike ty eroy.
The portico was twenty cubits wide and twelve cubits deep, and ten steps led up to it. There were columns by the side pillars, one on each side.
