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.
[in the vision] the man brought me to into the Holy Place in the temple and measured the walls on each side of the doorway of that room: They were about (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) thick.
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 (17-1/2 feet/5.3 meters) wide, and the walls of each side of it were (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) wide. He also measured the Holy Place, it was (70 feet/21.4 meters) long and (35 feet/10.7 meters) 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.
Then he entered the inner room [of the temple] and measured the walls of the entrance; [each was] (3-1/2 feet/1.1 meter) thick. The doorway was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) wide, and the walls on each side of the entrance were (12-1/4 feet/3.7 meters) long.
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.
Then he measured the inner room: It was (35 feet/10.7 meters) long and (35 feet/10.7 meters) wide. He said to me, “This is the Very 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.
Then he measured the wall of the temple: It was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) thick.[There was a row of rooms along the outside wall of the temple]. Each of those rooms was (7 feet/2.1 meters) 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 rooms, one above the other. There were thirty rooms on each level. There were ledges all around the wall of the temple that were supports for those side rooms; so those supports were not built into the wall of the temple.
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.
Each of those side rooms was wider than the one below it. The most narrow rooms were built first, at the bottom. Then a wider set of rooms was built over it, and the widest set was at the top. A set of stairs was built from the lowest level through the middle level to the highest 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 there was a terrace (OR, raised platform) around the temple. The terrace was the foundation for those side rooms; it was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) high.
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 outer wall of those side rooms was (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) thick. All around those side rooms there was an open area that was (35 feet/10.6 meters) wide.
10 Na he takiwa kei waenganui i nga ruma, e rua tekau whatianga, i nga taha katoa o te whare a taka noa.
There was a row of rooms for the priests on each side of the outer wall of the inner courtyard.
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.
There were two doors from those side rooms into another open area; one faced north and one faced south. That open area was (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) wide.
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.
There was a large building on the west side of the temple area. It was (122-1/2 feet/37.1 meters) wide and (157-1/2 feet/47.7 meters) long. And its walls were [also] (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) 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;
Then the man measured the temple. It was (175 feet/53 meters) long, and the [temple] courtyard, where the large building was, including its walls was [also] (175 feet/53 meters) wide.
14 Me te whanui o te aroaro o te whare, o te wahi motuhake ano whaka te rawhiti, kotahi rau whatianga.
The courtyard on the east side of the temple, across the front of the temple, was also (175 feet/53 meters) 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;
Then he measured the building on the west [side]. Including its walls it was also (175 feet/53 meters) wide. The outer walls of the Holy Place, the Very Holy Place, and the entry room,
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;
the inner walls above and below the windows, and the frames of the windows were all covered with [thin] panels of wood.
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.
All the walls inside the temple were decorated [carvings of] winged creatures and palm trees: Between each figure of a winged creature was a carving of a palm tree. Each winged creature had two faces:
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.
One was a face of a human, and one was the face of a lion. Those figures were carved on the walls all around the inside of the temple.
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.
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.
They covered all the walls, from the floor to the top of the walls.
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.
At the entrance to the Holy Place of the temple there were square doorposts. In front of the Very Holy Place there was something that resembled
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.
a wooden altar. It was (5.2 feet/1.6 meters) high and (3-1/2 feet/1.1 meters) wide on all four sides. Its corners and base and sides were [all made] of wood. The man said to me, “This is the table that is in the presence of Yahweh.”
23 A e rua nga tatau o te temepara, o te wahi tapu.
The Holy Place and the Very Holy Place had 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 doorway had two doors that [on hinges].
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.
On the doors of the Holy Place there were carvings of winged creatures and palm trees, like those on the walls of the Holy Place. There was also a wooden roof over the front of the entry room [of the temple].
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.
On the side walls of the entry room were narrow windows with [figures of] palm trees [carved] on the sides of the windows. The side rooms around the temple also had roofs.
