Ehekiera 42

1 Katahi ahau ka kawea e ia ki to waho marae, ki te ara ki te raki; kawea ana ahau e ia ki te ruma ki te ritenga atu o te wahi motuhake, ki tera i te aronga mai o te whare e anga ana ki te raki.

Then he brought me forth into the outer court, the way toward the north; and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the separate place, and which was over against the building, toward the north,

2 I te ritenga atu o nga whatianga kotahi rau ko te tatau ki te raki, e rima tekau whatianga te whanui.

even to the front of the length of a hundred cubits, with the door on the north, and the breadth of fifty cubits,

3 I te ritenga atu o nga whatianga e rua tekau o to roto marae, i te ritenga atu ano o te papa kohatu i to waho marae, ko tetahi ara e anga mai ana ki tetahi ara, i te toru o nga whakapaparanga.

over against the twenty cubits which belonged to the inner court, and over against the pavement which belonged to the outer court; with gallery against gallery in three stories.

4 Na i mua i nga ruma ko tetahi wahi haereerenga kotahi tekau whatianga, he mea e anga ana whakaroto, kotahi te whatianga o te ara; i anga o raua tatau ki te raki.

And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors were toward the north.

5 Na i poto iho nga ruma o runga: na nga ara hoki i tango tetahi wahi o enei, nui atu i te tangohanga mai i o raro, i o waenganui, o te whare.

Now the upper chambers were shorter; for the galleries took away from these, more than from the lower and the middlemost, in the building.

6 E toru hoki nga whakapaparanga, kahore ia he pou pera me nga pou o nga marae: na reira i huiti ai o runga rawa i o raro, i o waenganui, i te mea ka anga ake i te whenua.

For they were in three stories, and they had not pillars as the pillars of the courts; therefore room was taken away from the lowest and the middlemost, in comparison with the ground.

7 Na, ko te taha i waho e anga ana ki nga ruma, ki to waho marae i te taha ki mua o nga ruma, ko tona roa e rima tekau whatianga.

And the wall that was without by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court in front of the chambers, the length thereof was fifty cubits.

8 E rima tekau whatianga hoki te roa o nga ruma i to waho marae: na i mua i te temepara kotahi rau whatianga.

For the length of the chambers that were toward the outer court was fifty cubits; and, lo, before the temple were a hundred cubits.

9 I raro ano i enei ruma te tapokoranga atu i te rawhiti, i te mea ka tapoko atu i to waho marae.

And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the outer court.

10 He ruma ano i te wahi matotoru o te pakitara i te marae ki te rawhiti, i te ritenga atu o te wahi motuhake, i te ritenga ake ano o te whare.

In the breadth of the wall of the court toward the east, before the separate place, and before the building, there were chambers,

11 Na, ko te ara i mua i era, rite tonu te ahua ki to nga ruma i anga ki te raki; rite tonu te roa, rite tonu te whanui: ko nga putanga atu rite tonu ki nga tikanga, rite tonu ki nga tatau.

with a way before them; like the appearance of the chambers which were toward the north, as long as they, and as broad as they, with all their goings out, and according to their fashions; and as their doors,

12 Rite tonu ano ki nga tatau o nga ruma e anga ana ki te tonga te tatau i te ahunga mai o te ara, o te ara i mua tonu i te taiepa ki te rawhiti i te mea ka tomo tetahi ki roto.

so were also the doors of the chambers that were toward the south, there was a door in the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall, toward the way from the east, as one entereth into them.

13 Katahi ia ka mea ki ahau, Ko nga ruma ki te raki, ko nga ruma ki te tonga i mua i te wahi motuhake, he ruma tapu ena, ka kainga nga mea tapu rawa ki reira e nga tohunga e whakatata ana ki a Ihowa: me waiho i reira nga mea tapu rawa, me te whakah ere totokore, me te whakahere hara, me te whakahere mo te he: he tapu hoki taua wahi.

Then said he unto me: 'The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, they are the holy chambers, where the priests that are near unto the LORD shall eat the most holy things; there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meal-offering, and the sin-offering, and the guilt-offering; for the place is holy.

14 Ka tae nga tohunga ki roto, kaua e haere atu i roto i te wahi tapu ki to waho marae; engari me waiho i reira o ratou kakahu e minita ai, he tapu hoki; me kakahu ano etahi atu kakahu, ka whakatata ai ki nga mea ma te iwi.

When the priests enter in, then shall they not go out of the holy place into the outer court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister, for they are holy; and they shall put on other garments, and shall approach to that which pertaineth to the people.'

15 Na ka mutu tana whanganga i to roto whare, ka kawea ahau e ia ki te kuwaha e anga ana ki te rawhiti, whanganga ana ia i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha.

Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it round about.

16 I whanganga e ia ki te kakaho whanganga te taha ki te rawhiti, e rima rau kakaho, he mea whanganga ki te kakaho whanganga, i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha.

He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.

17 I whanganga ia ki te taha i te raki, e rima rau kakaho, he mea whanganga ki te kakaho whanganga, i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha.

He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.

18 I whanganga ia ki te taha ki te tonga e rima rau kakaho, he mea whanganga ki te kakaho whanganga.

He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed.

19 I tahuri atu ia ki te taha ki te hauauru, whanganga ana e ia, e rima rau kakaho, ki te kakaho whanganga.

He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.

20 Whanganga ana a reira e ia i nga taha e wha: he taiepa tona a tawhio noa, e rima rau kakaho te roa, e rima rau te whanui, hei wehe i te wahi tapu i te wahi noa.

He measured it by the four sides; it had a wall round about, the length five hundred, and the breadth five hundred, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.
