UHezekheli 43

1 Emva kwalokho umuntu lowo wangisa esangweni elikhangele empumalanga,

And he led me to the gate [the] gate which [was] facing [the] direction of the east.

2 ngabona inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli isiza ivela empumalanga. Ilizwi lakhe lalinjengokuhamba kwamanzi ageleza ngesiqubu esikhulu, lelizwe laselikhazimula ngenkazimulo yakhe.

And there! [the] glory of [the] God of Israel [was] coming from [the] direction of the east and sound its [was] like [the] sound of waters many and the earth it gave light from glory his.

3 Umbono engawubonayo wawunjengombono engangiwubone lapho wayezediliza idolobho njalo wawunjengombono engangiwubone ngasemfuleni iKhebhari, ngathi mbo phansi ngobuso.

And like [the] appearance of the vision which I saw [was] like the vision which I had seen when came I to destroy the city and visions like the vision which I had seen to [the] river of Kebar and I fell to face my.

4 Inkazimulo kaThixo yangena ethempelini ngesango elikhangele empumalanga.

And [the] glory of Yahweh it came into the house [the] way of [the] gate which face its [was] [the] direction of the east.

5 UMoya wangiphakamisa wangisa egumeni langaphakathi, njalo inkazimulo kaThixo yagcwala ethempelini.

And it lifted up me a spirit and it brought me into the courtyard inner and there! it filled [the] glory of Yahweh the house.

6 Kwathi umuntu lowo emi phansi kwami, ngezwa omunye engikhulumisa engaphakathi kwethempeli.

And I heard [one who] spoke to me from the house and a man he was standing beside me.

7 Wathi, “Ndodana yomuntu, le yindawo yesihlalo sami sobukhosi lendawo yokunyathela ngezinyawo zami. Lapha yikho engizahlala khona phakathi kwama-Israyeli kuze kube laphakade. Indlu ka-Israyeli kayisayikulingcolisa futhi ibizo lami, bona loba amakhosi abo, ngobuwule babo langezithombe ezingaphiliyo zamakhosi abo ezindaweni zawo eziphakemeyo.

And he said to me O son of humankind [the] place of throne my and [the] place of [the] soles of feet my where I will dwell there in among [the] people of Israel for ever and not they will defile again [the] house of Israel [the] name of holiness my they and kings their by prostitution their and by [the] corpses of kings their high places their.

8 Lapho babeka iminyango yabo phansi komnyango wami lemigubazi yabo eceleni kwemigubazi yami, kulomduli nje kuphela phakathi kwami labo, bangcolisa ibizo lami ngezenzo zabo ezinengekayo. Ngakho ngabaqeda ekuthukutheleni kwami.

When put they threshold their with threshold my and doorpost their beside doorpost my and the wall between me and between them and they defiled - [the] name of holiness my by abominations their which they did and I made an end of them in anger my.

9 Khathesi-ke kabasusele kude lami ubuwule babo kanye lezithombe zamakhosi abo ezingaphiliyo, njalo ngizahlala phakathi kwabo kuze kube laphakade.

Now let them put far away prostitution their and [the] corpses of kings their from me and I will dwell in midst of them for ever.

10 Ndodana yomuntu, chazela abantu bako-Israyeli ngethempeli ukuze bayangeke ngezono zabo. Wothi bacabange ngokumele kwenziwe ngobunono,

You O son of humankind declare [the] house of Israel the house so they may be ashamed from iniquities their and they will measure a pattern.

11 njalo nxa belenhloni ngakho konke abakwenzayo, bazise ngesimo sethempeli, ukumiswa kwalo, izindawo zalo zokuphuma lezokungena, isimo salo sonke lezimiso zalo zonke kanye lemithetho yakhona. Bhala lokhu phansi phambi kwabo ukuze bathembeke kuso isifanekiso salo njalo balandele zonke izimiso zalo.

And if they are ashamed from all that they have done [the] design of the house and arrangement its and exits its and entrances its and all (designs its *Q(K)*) and all statutes its and all (designs its *Q(K)*) and all (laws its *Q(K)*) make known to them and write to eyes their so they may keep all design its and all statutes its and they will do them.

12 Nanku umthetho wethempeli: Wonke umango oseduze phezu kwentaba uzakuba ngcwele kakhulu. Lowo yiwo umthetho wethempeli.”

This [is] [the] law of the house on [the] top of the mountain all territory its all around - all around [will be] a holy place of holy places there! this [is] [the] law of the house.

13 “Lezi yizilinganiso ze-alithare ngezingalo, ingalo kuyingalo lobubanzi besandla: Isidindi salo sasiyingalo eyodwa ukuphakama kwaso lengalo eyodwa ububanzi, silomqolo ongangobubanzi besandla emphethweni waso. Njalo nampu ubude be-alithare ukuphakama kwalo:

And these [are] [the] measurements of the altar by cubits a cubit [is] a cubit and a hand breadth and a gutter [is] the cubit and [is] a cubit [the] breadth and border its to edge its around a span one and this [is] [the] mound of the altar.

14 Kusukela esidindini phansi kusiya elitsheni elingaphansi lizingalo ezimbili ukuphakama lezingalo ezimbili ububanzi, njalo kusukela elitsheni elincane kusiya elitsheni elikhulu lizingalo ezine ukuphakama lengalo eyodwa ububanzi.

And from [the] gutter of the ground to the ledge lower [is] two cubits and [the] breadth [is] a cubit one and from the ledge small to the ledge large [is] four cubits and [the] breadth [is] the cubit.

15 Iziko le-alithari lizingalo ezine ukuphakama njalo impondo ezine zikhokhekele phezulu zisuka eziko.

And the altar hearth [is] four cubits (and [are] from the altar hearth *Q(K)*) and upwards the horns four.

16 Iziko le-alithari liyalingana amacele wonke, izingalo ezilitshumi lambili ubude lezingalo ezilitshumi lambili ububanzi.

(And the altar hearth *Q(K)*) [is] two [plus] ten [cubits] [the] length by two [plus] ten [cubits] [the] breadth square to [the] four sides its.

17 Uhlangothi lwangaphezulu lalo luyalingana macele wonke, izingalo ezilitshumi lane ubude lobubanzi lulomphetho oyingxenye yengalo lesidindi esiyingalo eyodwa inxa zonke. Izinyathelo ze-alithare zikhangele empumalanga.”

And the ledge [is] four-teen [cubits] [the] length by four-teen [cubits] [the] breadth to [the] four sides its and the border around it [is] [the] half of cubit and the gutter of it [is] a cubit all around and steps its to face east.

18 Wasesithi kimi, “Ndodana yomuntu, nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Le izakuba yimithetho yokunikela iminikelo yokutshiswa lokuchela igazi phezu kwe-alithari lapho selakhiwe:

And he said to me O son of humankind thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh these [are] [the] statutes of the altar on [the] day is made it to offer up on it a burnt offering and to sprinkle on it blood.

19 Kumele unikele inkunzi eseseliguqa njengomnikelo wesono kubaphristi, abangabaLevi, abendlu kaZadokhi abasondela eduze ukuba bakhonze phambi kwami, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.

And you will give to the priests the Levites who they [are] of [the] offspring of Zadok near to me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh to serve me a young bull a young one of cattle to a sin offering.

20 Kumele uthathe elinye igazi ulifake empondweni ezine ze-alithare lasemagumbini amane elitshe langaphezulu lasemphethweni inxa zonke, ngokunjalo uhlambulule i-alithari njalo ulenzele inhlawulelo.

And you will take some of blood its and you will put [it] on [the] four horns its and to [the] four [the] corners of the ledge and to the border all around and you will cleanse from sin it and you will make atonement for it.

21 Kumele uthathe inkunzi yomnikelo wesono uyitshisele endaweni ekhethiweyo yethempeli ngaphandle kwendawo engcwele.

And you will take the young bull the sin offering and someone will burn it in [the] appointed place of the house from [the] outside of the sanctuary.

22 Ngosuku lwesibili kumele unikele imbuzi enduna engelasici ukuba ngumnikelo wesono, njalo le-alithari kumele lihlanjululwe njengokuhlanjululwa elakwenziwa ngenkunzi.

And on the day second you will bring near a male goat of goats unblemished to a sin offering and they will cleanse from sin the altar just as they cleansed [it] from sin by the young bull.

23 Lapho usuqedile ukulihlambulula, kumele unikele inkunzi eseseliguqa kanye lenqama evela emhlambini, kokubili kungelasici.

When finishing you from cleansing [it] from sin you will bring near a young bull a young one of cattle unblemished and a ram from the flock unblemished.

24 Kumele ukunikele phambi kukaThixo, njalo abaphristi kumele bavuvuzele itswayi phezu kwakho bakunikele njengomnikelo wokutshiswa kuThixo.

And you will bring near them before Yahweh and they will throw the priests on them salt and they will offer up them a burnt offering to Yahweh.

25 Okwensuku eziyisikhombisa kuzamele unikele imbuzi enduna nsuku zonke ukuba ngumnikelo wesono; njalo kumele unikele inkunzi eseseliguqa kanye lenqama evela emhlambini, kokubili kungelasici.

Seven days you will offer a male goat of a sin offering for the day and a young bull a young one of cattle and a ram from the flock unblemished they will offer.

26 Okwensuku eziyisikhombisa bazakwenzela i-alithari inhlawulelo, balihlambulule, kanjalo balenze libengcwele.

Seven days they will make atonement for the altar and they will purify it and they will fill (hands its. *Q(K)*)

27 Ekupheleni kwalezizinsuku, kusukela ngosuku lwesificaminwembili kusiya phambili, abaphristi kumele bethule iminikelo yakho yokutshiswa kanye leminikelo yobuzalwane e-alithareni. Lapho-ke ngizalamukela, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.”

So they may complete the days. And it will be on the day eighth and onwards they will offer the priests on the altar burnt offerings your and peace offerings your and I will accept you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
