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.
At the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month of the twenty-fifth year of our exile, (fourteenth years after Jerusalem had been captured), was the exact day that the Lord's power came over me and he took me there to the city.
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.
God took me to the country of Israel in vision and set me down on a very high mountain. On the south side of the mountain there were buildings that seemed to be 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.
When he took me there I saw a man who looked like shining bronze. He was holding a linen cord and a measuring rod as he stood in the entrance way.
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 told me, “watch with your eyes, listen with your ears. Concentrate on everything I'm about to show you, because that's the reason you were brought here. You are to explain to the people of Israel what you've been shown, 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.
I could see a wall that surrounded the Temple. The measuring rod the man was holding was six long cubits in length (a long cubit is a cubit plus a handbreadth). He measured the wall as six cubits thick and six cubits 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 went up the steps of the east-facing gate. He measured the gate's threshold as six cubits 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.
Beyond that were alcoves that measured six cubits by six cubits, with five cubits between the alcoves. The threshold of the inside entrance facing the porch measured six cubits.
8 Zinehe’e ka ty tokona’ añate’ i lalambey, kobaiñe raike.
Then he measured the entrance porch.
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 posts were two cubits thick. The entrance porch 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 alcoves on each side of the east gate entrance that all measured the same. The posts on each side also measured the same.
11 Zinehe’e ka ty am-pohe’ i fizilihan-dalambeiy: kiho folo; naho ty andava’ i lalambeiy: kiho folo-telo’ amby.
He measured the width of the entrance gateway as ten cubits. It was thirteen cubits long.
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.
A wall one cubit high was in front of alcove, and the alcoves measured six cubits by six cubits.
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 entrance gateway from the roof of one alcove to the roof of the one opposite. It was twenty-five cubits from one doorway to the opposite doorway.
14 Nanoe’e tolàñe ka, kiho enempolo, le nanahake izay o lalambey sisa añ’ariari’ i kiririsaio.
Then he measured the distance between the posts as sixty cubits. The gateway led all the way around to the courtyard.
15 Le boak’an-tarehe’ i lalam-pizilihañey pak’ an-tarehe’ ty figadoña’ i efe-pizilihañey, limampolo kiho.
It was fifty cubits from the gateway entrance to the far side of the inside porch.
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 alcoves and their pillars had narrow windows on all of the inside of the gateway. The porches also had windows on all of the inside. All the posts were decorated with palm tree designs.
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.
He took me into the outer courtyard. I saw rooms and a pavement had been constructed around the courtyard. There were thirty rooms facing the pavement.
18 Tañ’ila’ o lalambeio i damokey ty amy halava’ o fizilihañeoy, i damok’ ambaney izay.
This was termed the lower pavement and it extended along the sides of the gateways and was the same length as them.
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.
He measured the distance from the front of the lower gateway to the far side of the inner courtyard as one hundred cubits, both to the east side and 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 courtyard that faced 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 alcoves on both sides, its posts, and its porch all measured the same as the first gateway and was 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, porch, and palm tree decorations were the same as those of the east-facing gate. It had seven steps leading up to it, with its porch facing 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 an entrance to the inner courtyard facing the north gate, just like the east gate. He measured the distance from the entrance to the gate as 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.
He took me to the south side, and I saw a gateway that faced south. He measured its posts and its porch, and they measured the same as those previously.
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 porch had windows all around it that were 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.
It had seven steps leading up to it, and its porch faced them. It had one post on each side with palm tree designs on them.
27 Teo ty lalambey nitolik’ atimo amy kiririsa añate’ey; zinehe’e ty boak’an-dalambey pak’ an-dalambey atimo, zato kiho.
The inner courtyard also had an entrance facing south, and he measured the distance from the entrance to the south gate as 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;
He took me into the inner courtyard through the south gate, and he measured the south gate. It measured the same as those previously.
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 alcoves, posts, and porch had the same measurements as those previously. The gateway and its porch 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 other surrounding porches measured 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 porch faced the outer courtyard, and its pillars were decorated with palm tree designs. It had eight steps leading 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.
He took me to the inner courtyard on the east side. He measured the gateway and it measured the same as those previously.
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 alcoves, posts, and porch measured the same as those previously. The gateway and its porch 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 porch faced the outer courtyard, and its posts were decorated with palm tree designs. It had eight steps leading 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:
He took me to the north gate and measured it. It measured the same as those previously,
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.
including its alcoves, posts, and porch. The gateway and its porch 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 porch faced the outer courtyard, and its posts were decorated with palm tree designs on all sides. It had eight steps leading up to it.
38 Añivo o tolà’ i lalambei’eio ty fizilihañe mb’ami’ty traño-kede; ao ty fanasañe o hisoroñañeo.
A room with a doorway stood beside by the porch of the inner gateways. This was where the burnt offering was 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 gateway porch were two tables on both sides, where the sacrificial animals were slaughtered for burnt offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings.
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, on the way up to the entrance of the north gateway, were two tables on one side of the gate's porch and two tables on the other side.
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 on the inside the of gateway and another four outside, making a total of eight tables. This is where the sacrifices were 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 cut stone for the burnt offering. They each measured one and a half cubits long, one and a half cubits wide, and a cubit high. The tools used to slaughter the burnt offerings and the other sacrifices were placed on these tables.
43 Nirekets’ añ’ ariari’ i trañoy ty porengotse maro, sindre zehem-pitàñe ty andava’e; naho amy rairay rey i hena hisoroñañey.
Hooks measuring the width of a hand were attached to the walls inside the room. The meat 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 but inside the inner courtyard were two rooms. One was beside the north gate and faced south; the other beside the south gate and faced north.
45 Le hoe re amako, Ty traño miatrek’ atimo toy le a o mpisoroñe mitoloñe amy anjombaio.
The man told me: “The room that faces south is for the priests in 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 room that faces north is for the priests in charge of the altar. These priests are the descendants of Zadok and are the only Levites who are allowed to come near to the Lord and 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.
He measured the square courtyard: a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide. The altar stood in the courtyard 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.
He took me to the Temple porch and measured the pillars of the porch as five cubits on each side. The gateway was fourteen cubits wide and its sides measured three cubits.
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 porch was twenty cubits wide and twelve cubits deep, and had ten steps leading up to it. There were columns by the posts, one on both sides.
