Ezekiela 44
1 Nendese’e nibalike mb’an-dalambey alafe’ i toetse miavake miatrek’ atiñanañey mb’eo iraho; f’ie nirindriñe.
And he causes me to turn back the way of the gate of the outer sanctuary that is looking eastward, and it is 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.
And YHWH says to me, “This gate is shut, it is not opened, and none go in by it, for YHWH, God of Israel, has come in by it, and it has been 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.
The prince, who [is] prince, he sits by it to eat bread before YHWH, he comes in by the way of the porch of the gate, and by its way he goes out.”
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.
And he brings me in the way of the north gate to the front of the house, and I look, and behold, the glory of YHWH has filled the house of YHWH, and I fall 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 YHWH says to me, “Son of man, set your heart, and see with your eyes, and hear with your ears, all that I am speaking with you, all of the statutes of the house of YHWH, and all of its laws; and you have set your heart to the entrance of the house, with all the outlets 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 have said to [the] rebellion, to the house of Israel, Thus said Lord YHWH: Enough from you—of all your abominations, O house of Israel.
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 your bringing in sons of a stranger, uncircumcised of heart, and uncircumcised of flesh, to be in My sanctuary, to defile it, even My house, in your bringing near My bread, fat, and blood, and they break My covenant by 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, and you set [others] for keeping My charge in My sanctuary for you.
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 said Lord YHWH: No son of a stranger, uncircumcised of heart, and uncircumcised of flesh, comes into My sanctuary, even any son of a stranger, who [is] in the midst of the sons 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 who have gone far off from Me, in the wandering of Israel when they went astray from Me after their idols, and they have borne 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.
And they have been servants in My sanctuary, overseers at the gates of the house, and servants at the house; they slay the burnt-offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they stand before them to serve 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 that they serve them before their idols, and have been for a stumbling-block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I have lifted up My hand against them—a declaration of Lord YHWH—and they have borne 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 do not draw near to Me to act as My priest, and to draw near to any of My holy things, to the Holy of Holies, and they have borne their shame and their abominations that they have done,
14 F’ie ho tendrèko ho mpigaritse i kivohokoy, naho hikotrokotrok’ ama’eo, ze hene kasokasoheñe ama’e ao.
and I made them keepers of the charge of the house, for all its service and for all that is done in it.
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;
And the priests, the Levites, sons of Zadok, who have kept the charge of My sanctuary in the wandering of the sons of Israel from off Me, they draw near to Me to serve Me, and have stood before Me, to bring fat and blood near to Me—a declaration of Lord YHWH:
16 Ie ro himoak’ amy toeko miavakey ao, hitotok’ amy fandambañakoy hitoroñe ahy vaho hamandroñe o ahikoo.
they come into My sanctuary, and they draw near to My table to serve Me, and they have kept 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 has come to pass, in their going into the gates of the inner court, they put on linen garments; and no wool comes up on them in their ministering 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.
Linen headdresses are on their head, and linen trousers are on their loins, they are not restrained with 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 in their going forth to the outer court—to the outer court to the people—they strip off their garments, in which they are ministering, and have placed them in the holy chambers, and have put on other garments; and they do not sanctify the people in their own garments.
20 Tsy hañara-doha iereo, naho tsy hapoke ho lava o maroi’eo; fe ho tomotomoreñe o maroin’ añambone’eo.
And they do not shave their head, and they do not send forth the lock; they certainly trim their heads.
21 Tsy hinon-divay ty mpisoroñe t’ie mizilik’ an-kiririsa añate’e ao.
And no priest drinks wine in their coming into the inner court.
22 Tsy hañenga vantotse iereo, ndra ty narian-dahy, fa somondrara tariran’ anjomba’ Israele ndra ty vantotse remavoi’ ty mpisoroñe.
And they do not take a widow or divorced woman to themselves for wives, but they take virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, and the widow who is widow of a priest.
23 Haò’ iereo ondatikoo ty hañambahañe ty masiñe ami’ty tsotra, vaho hampandrendreheñe ty faly naho ty malio.
And they direct My people between holy and common, and they cause them to discern between unclean and 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 concerning controversy, they stand up for judgment; they judge it with My judgments; and they keep My law and My statutes in all My appointed places; and they sanctify 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 he does not come near to any dead man to be defiled, but if for father, and for mother, and for son, and for daughter, for brother, for sister who has not been to a man, they may defile themselves.
26 Ie malio, le hañiahañe fito andro.
And after his cleansing, they number seven days to him.
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 of his coming into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he brings his sin-offering near—a declaration of Lord YHWH.
28 Izay ty ho lova iareo; Izaho o lova’ iareoo fa tsy ho tolorañe fanañañe e Israele ao; Izaho ro fanaña’ iareo.
And it has been for an inheritance to them; I [am] their inheritance, and you do not give a possession to them 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.
The present, and the sin-offering, and the guilt-offering, they eat, and every devoted thing in Israel is 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, and every raised-offering of all, of all your raised-offerings, are the priests’; and you give the first of your dough to the priest, to cause a blessing to rest on your house.
31 Tsy ho kamae’ o mpisoroñeo ty raha nimate boboke ndra rinimitse, he voroñe ke biby.
The priests do not eat any carcass or torn thing, from the bird or from the beast.”
