Ehekiera 41
1 Na ka kawea ahau e ia ki te temepara; kei te whanganga i nga pou, e ono whatianga te whanui i tetahi taha, e ono whatianga te whanui i tetahi taha, ko te whanui tera o te tapenakara.
He took me to the Temple and measured the posts as cubits wide on both sides.
2 Na, ko te whanui o te tatau, kotahi tekau whatianga; ko nga taha o te tatau, e rima nga whatianga i tetahi taha, e rima nga whatianga i tetahi taha; i whanganga ano ia i to reira roa, e wha tekau whatianga; ko te whanui e rua tekau whatianga.
The entrance was ten cubits wide, and the sides of the entrance were five cubits long on both sides. He measured the outer sanctuary as forty cubits long and twenty cubits wide.
3 Katahi ia ka haere ki roto, kei te whanganga i te pou o te kuwaha, e rua whatianga; ko te kuwaha, e ono whatianga; ko te whanui o te kuwaha e whitu whatianga.
He went into the inner sanctuary and measured the entrance posts as two cubits wide. The entrance was six cubits wide, and the walls on both sides were seven cubits wide.
4 Heoi whanganga ana ia i to reira roa, e rua tekau whatianga te whanui, e rua tekau whatianga i mua i te temepara. Na ka mea ia ki ahau, Ko te wahi tino tapu tenei.
He measured the room beside the inner sanctuary as twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. He told me, “This is the Most Holy Place.”
5 Muri iho ka whanganga ia i te taha o te whare, e ono whatianga; me te whanui ano i nga ruma o te taha, e wha whatianga, i nga taha o te whare a taka noa.
He measured Temple wall as six cubits thick, and each side room around the Temple was four cubits wide.
6 Na e toru nga whakapaparanga o nga ruma i te taha, ko tetahi i runga i tetahi, e toru tekau ki te rarangi, i ngoto ki te pakitara, ki to te whare, hei ruma mo nga taha a taka noa, kia u ai ki reira, kahore ia he unga i te pakitara o te whare.
There were three levels of side rooms above one another, each having thirty rooms. The wall of the Temple had external supports for the side rooms, so that they would not be fixed into the wall of the Temple itself.
7 Na ka nui haere a whawhe noa whakarunga nga ruma o te taha; i haere tonu hoki whakarunga te karapotinga o te whare a taka noa: no reira haere tonu te whanui o te whare whakarunga, nui haere atu ana i to raro rawa tae noa ki to runga, ma waenga.
The side rooms around the Temple became wider at each higher level, because as the structure around the Temple went up the Temple wall grew narrower A stairway provided access from the bottom story to the top, going through the middle level.
8 I kite ano ahau i te tiketike o te whare a whawhe noa: ko nga turanga o nga ruma, kotahi tino kakaho e ono nei ona whatianga nui.
I saw that the Temple was on a raised platform that surrounded it. This was the foundation for the side rooms. Its height was the complete length of a measuring rod, six long cubits.
9 Ko te matotoru o te pakitara, o tera mo nga ruma i nga taha, i waho, e rima whatianga; a ko te mea i mahue ko te wahi o nga ruma o te taha, no te whare era.
The thickness of the outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits, and there was open space between the side rooms of the Temple
10 Na he takiwa kei waenganui i nga ruma, e rua tekau whatianga, i nga taha katoa o te whare a taka noa.
and the outer chambers that measured twenty cubits wide all round the Temple.
11 A i anga nga tatau o nga ruma ki te wahi i mahue, ko tetahi tatau ki te raki, ko tetahi tatau ki te tonga: a ko te whanui o te wahi i mahue e rima whatianga a tawhio noa.
The doors of the side rooms opened into this area, with one entrance to the north and another one to the south. The open space was five cubits wide on each side.
12 Na, ko te whare i mua i te wahi motuhake i te pito ki te hauauru, e whitu tekau whatianga te whanui: a e rima whatianga te matotoru o te pakitara o taua whare a tawhio noa; tona roa e iwa tekau whatianga.
Another building faced the Temple courtyard on the west side. It measured seventy cubits wide and ninety cubits long, with walls all the way round that were five cubits thick.
13 Heoi ka whanganga ia i te whare, kotahi rau whatianga te roa; me te wahi motuhake, me taua whare, me ona taha, kotahi rau whatianga te roa;
He measured the Temple as one hundred cubits long. The Temple courtyard and the building including its walls were also one hundred cubits long.
14 Me te whanui o te aroaro o te whare, o te wahi motuhake ano whaka te rawhiti, kotahi rau whatianga.
The Temple courtyard on the east side, (including the front of the Temple), was one hundred cubits wide.
15 I whanganga ano ia i te roa o te whare i te ritenga mai o te wahi motuhake, i muri hoki tera i tenei; me ona ara i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, kotahi rau whatianga; me te temepara i roto, me nga whakamahau o te marae;
He measured the length of the building that faced the Temple courtyard towards the rear of the Temple, including its open halls on each side. It was one hundred cubits long. The outer sanctuary, the inner sanctuary, and the porches facing the courtyard,
16 Ko nga pou tatau, ko nga matapihi kuiti, me nga ara i nga whakapaparanga e toru a taka noa i te ritenga atu o te tatau, he mea paparua ki te rakau a taka noa, he mea pera ano i te whenua a tae noa ki nga hatapihi; he mea hipoki ano nga matapihi;
as well as the thresholds and the narrow windows and the surrounding open halls with their three levels up to and including the threshold, were covered with wood on every side. This extended from the ground up to and including the windows.
17 Tae noa ki te wahi i runga ake i te tatau, ki te whare i roto, ki to waho, i te pakitara katoa a tawhio noa, i roto, i waho, he mea whanganga.
On the outside of all the walls by the entrance to the inner sanctuary, spaced at regular intervals around the inner and outer sanctuary,
18 I mahia ano ki reira he kerupima, he nikau; he nikau i te takiwa o tetahi kerupa, o tetahi kerupa, e rua hoki nga mata o te kerupa kotahi.
were carved designs of cherubim and palm trees. Every cherub had two faces:
19 I anga te mata tangata ki te nikau i tetahi taha, te mata o te raiona ki te nikau i tetahi taha; i peratia te mahinga puta noa i te whare, a tawhio noa.
a man's face looked in the direction of a palm tree on one side, and the face of a young lion looked in the direction of the palm tree on the other side. These carvings extended the whole way round the Temple.
20 I te whenua a tae noa ki runga ake i te tatau i hanga he kerupima, he nikau, he penei te pakitara o te temepara.
Designs of cherubim and palm trees were carved on the Temple wall from the floor up to the space above the doorway.
21 He tapawha nga pou o te temepara; na, ko te aronga mai o te wahi tapu, ko te ahua, rite tonu ki te ahua o te temepara.
The Temple's doorframe was rectangular, as was the doorframe of the sanctuary.
22 Ko te aata he rakau, e toru whatianga te tiketike, a ko te roa e rua whatianga; na, ko nga koki, ko tona roanga, ko ona pakitara, he rakau. Na ko tana kianga mai ki ahau, Ko te tepu tenei i te aroaro o Ihowa.
An altar made of wood stood there, three cubits high and two cubits by long. All of it—its corners, base, and sides—were made of wood. The man told me, “This is the table that stands before the Lord.”
23 A e rua nga tatau o te temepara, o te wahi tapu.
The Temple and the sanctuary both had hinged double doors.
24 Ko nga tatau he aparua, huri ai nga apa; e rua nga apa mo tetahi o nga tatau, e rua nga apa mo tetahi.
Each door had two panels that opened. There were two panels for one door, and two panels for the other door.
25 I mahia ano ki aua tatau o te temepara etahi kerupima me etahi nikau, he mea rite tonu ki era i mahia ki nga pakitara; he papa matotoru hoki i te aronga o te whakamahau i te taha ki waho.
There were carvings of cherubim and palm trees on the Temple doors like those on the walls, and there was a wooden roof that covered the outside part of the porch at the front.
26 A he matapihi kuiti, he nikau hoki, i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, i nga taha hoki o te whakamahau: koia era, ko nga ruma o te taha o te whare, me nga papa matotoru hoki.
There were narrow windows and palm tree designs on the walls of the porch. The side rooms of the Temple also had roofs.
