Ezekiela 44
1 Nendese’e nibalike mb’an-dalambey alafe’ i toetse miavake miatrek’ atiñanañey mb’eo iraho; f’ie nirindriñe.
Then he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary which looks toward the east; and it was shut.
2 Le hoe t’Iehovà amako: Hagabeñe ty lalañe toy, tsy ho sokafeñe, le tsy himoak’ ama’e t’indaty; amy te fa nizilik’ ao t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele, aa le harindriñe izay.
Then said the LORD to me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the LORD, the God of Israel, has entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut.
3 I roandriañey avao ty hiambesatse ao hikama mahakama añatrefa’ Iehovà ty amy maha-roandriañe aze; hizilike mb’amy ana-piziliha’ i lalambeiy re, vaho ama’e ka ty hienga’e mb’eo.
It is for the prince; the prince, he shall sit in it to eat bread before the LORD; he shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate, and shall go out by the way of the same.
4 Nendese’e niary amy lalambey avaratsey iraho, mb’ añ’ aolo’ i kivohoy mb’eo; nenteako le indroke nandifotse i kivoho’ Iehovày ty enge’ Iehovà; vaho nibaboke an-tareheko.
Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD: and I fell on my face.
5 Le hoe t’Iehovà amako: O ana’ ondatio, arendreho soa, le isaho am-pihaino naho janjiño an-dravembia ze he’e ho volañeko ama’o ty amo fañè’ i kivoho’ Iehovàio naho o fañòha’eo; arendreho o mete hampihovañe amy kivohoio, vaho o rarañe tsy himoak’ amy toetse miavakeio.
And the LORD said to me, Son of man, mark well, and behold with your eyes, and hear with your ears all that I say to you concerning all the ordinances of the house of the LORD, and all the laws thereof; and mark well the entering in of the house, with every going forth of the sanctuary.
6 Le saontsio ty hoe o mpiolao, i anjomba’ Israeley, inao ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Ry anjomba’ Israele, fonga ajihero o hakarapiloa’oo,
And you shall say to the rebellious, even to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord GOD; O you house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations,
7 ty amy nampihova’o an-toeko miavake ao o ambahiny tsy nisavareñe añ’arofo naho tsy afak’ ofoke an-tsandriñeo, hañota-faly amy anjombakoy, ie nengae’o amako o hànekoo, ty safo’e naho ty lio’e. Tovo’ ze haloloañ’ iaby nivaliha’ areo amy fañinakoy;
In that you have brought into my sanctuary strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house, when you offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all your abominations.
8 vaho tsy namandroñe o raha masikoo; te mone nampivandroñe’ iareo ze nisatrie’ areo avao i toeko miavakey.
And you have not kept the charge of my holy things: but you have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.
9 Aa le hoe t’Iehovà Talè: Tsy himoak’ amy toeko miavakey ty ambahiny tsy nisavareñe añ’arofo naho tsy afak’ ofok’ an-tsandriñe, amo renetane mitraok’ amo nte-Israeleo iabio.
Thus says the Lord GOD; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel.
10 Le hivave ty lafa’ iareo o nte-Levy nihànkañe amakoo, ie nandifik’ amako t’Israele naho nandrìke mb’ amo samposampon-draha’ iareoo.
And the Levites that are gone away far from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray away from me after their idols; they shall even bear their iniquity.
11 Ho mpañambiñe an-toeko miavake ao iereo, hisary o lalambein-kivohoo, hampikasokasok’ amy kibohokoy ao; handenta o engan-koroañeo naho o fisoroña’ ondatioo, hiatrake ondatio, hitoroñe iareo.
Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having charge at the gates of the house, and ministering to the house: they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister to them.
12 Amy te nitoroñe’ iareo aolo’ o saren’ drahare’ iareoo, naho ninjare bolokon-kakeo fampitsikapieñe i anjomba’ Israeley, le nizonjoeko haoke hoe t’Iehovà Talè, vaho ho vavè’ iereo o hakeo’ iareoo.
Because they ministered to them before their idols, and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, says the Lord GOD, and they shall bear their iniquity.
13 Tsy hitotok’ amako iereo, tsy hitoroñe ahy ho mpisoroñe, tsy hañarine o raha masikoo naho o raha loho miavakeo; fa hivave fisalarañe ty amo hatsivokarañe nanoe’ iereoo.
And they shall not come near to me, to do the office of a priest to me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, in the most holy place: but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.
14 F’ie ho tendrèko ho mpigaritse i kivohokoy, naho hikotrokotrok’ ama’eo, ze hene kasokasoheñe ama’e ao.
But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.
15 Fe o mpisoroñe nte-Levy ana’ i Tsadoke namandroñe i toeko miavakey, ie nandifik’ amako o nte-Israeleoo ro hitotok’ amako hitoroñ’ ahy, hijohañe añatrefako hañenga ty safo’e naho ty lio amako, hoe t’Iehovà Talè;
But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister to me, and they shall stand before me to offer to me the fat and the blood, says the Lord GOD:
16 Ie ro himoak’ amy toeko miavakey ao, hitotok’ amy fandambañakoy hitoroñe ahy vaho hamandroñe o ahikoo.
They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister to me, and they shall keep my charge.
17 Ie mizilik’ amo lalambein-kiririsa’ añateo, le hisikiñe lamba leny naho tsy ho amam-bolonañondry t’ie mitoloñe an-dalambein-kiririsa añate’e naho amy trañoy.
And it shall come to pass, that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come on them, whiles they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.
18 Ho aman-tsabaka leny ty añambone’ iareo, naho koloty leny ty ambania’e; vaho tsy hisikiñe ze hahatera-liñetse.
They shall have linen bonnets on their heads, and shall have linen breeches on their loins; they shall not gird themselves with any thing that causes sweat.
19 Le ie miakatse mb’an-kiririsa alafe’e ao, mb’an-kiririsa ama’ ondaty mb’eo, le hafaha’ iareo hey o sikiñe nitoroñañeo naho halafike amo efetsefe miavakeo; le hiombe saroñe ila’e, tsy mone hampiavake ondatio amo siki’eo.
And when they go forth into the outer court, even into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they ministered, and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on other garments; and they shall not sanctify the people with their garments.
20 Tsy hañara-doha iereo, naho tsy hapoke ho lava o maroi’eo; fe ho tomotomoreñe o maroin’ añambone’eo.
Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only poll their heads.
21 Tsy hinon-divay ty mpisoroñe t’ie mizilik’ an-kiririsa añate’e ao.
Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter into the inner court.
22 Tsy hañenga vantotse iereo, ndra ty narian-dahy, fa somondrara tariran’ anjomba’ Israele ndra ty vantotse remavoi’ ty mpisoroñe.
Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away: but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that had a priest before.
23 Haò’ iereo ondatikoo ty hañambahañe ty masiñe ami’ty tsotra, vaho hampandrendreheñe ty faly naho ty malio.
And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
24 Ie eo ty fandierañe le hizaka’ iareo; hizaka amo fepèkoo; naho hañambeñe Hake naho o fañèko amo hene famantañakoo vaho ho masiñe’ iereo o Sabatekoo.
And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; and they shall judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all my assemblies; and they shall hallow my sabbaths.
25 Tsy haniva vatañe iereo ami’ty hizilihañe an-dolo ao; f’ie mahazo mandeo-batañe naho rae ndra rene, ana-dahy naho anak’ampela, vaho rahalahy ndra rahavave tsy manambaly.
And they shall come at no dead person to defile themselves: but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that has had no husband, they may defile themselves.
26 Ie malio, le hañiahañe fito andro.
And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon to him seven days.
27 Ie amy andro iziliha’e i toetse miavakey, an-kiririsa’ añate’e ao, hitoloña’e amy toetse miavakey, le hengae’e i engan-kakeo’ey, hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
And in the day that he goes into the sanctuary, to the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, says the Lord GOD.
28 Izay ty ho lova iareo; Izaho o lova’ iareoo fa tsy ho tolorañe fanañañe e Israele ao; Izaho ro fanaña’ iareo.
And it shall be to them for an inheritance: I am their inheritance: and you shall give them no possession in Israel: I am their possession.
29 Ho kamae’ iereo ty enga-mahakama, naho ty engan-kakeo, naho ty engan-tahiñe, vaho ho a iareo ze raha natokañe e Israele ao.
They shall eat the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering: and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs.
30 Le ho a o mpisoroñeo ze hene karazan-doha-voa, naho ze fonga enga ndra inoñe ty karaza’e boak’amo enga’ areo iabio; hatolo’ areo amo mpisoroñeo ka ty loha-voa fanoñaha’ areo, soa te hipetak’ añ’anjomba’ areo ty fañanitsiñe.
And the first of all the first fruits of all things, and every oblation of all, of every sort of your oblations, shall be the priest’s: you shall also give to the priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest in your house.
31 Tsy ho kamae’ o mpisoroñeo ty raha nimate boboke ndra rinimitse, he voroñe ke biby.
The priests shall not eat of any thing that is dead of itself, or torn, whether it be fowl or beast.
