UHezekheli 40
1 Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amabili lanhlanu wokuthunjwa kwethu, ekuqaliseni komnyaka, ngolwetshumi lwenyanga, ngomnyaka wetshumi lane emva kokuthi umuzi usutshayiwe, ngalona lolosuku isandla seNkosi saba phezu kwami, wangiletha lapho.
In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, the tenth day of the month, the fourteenth year after the city was destroyed: in the selfsame day the hand of the Lord was upon me, and he brought me thither.
2 Ngemibono kaNkulunkulu wangisa elizweni lakoIsrayeli, wangibeka phezu kwentaba ende kakhulu; njalo eceleni kwayo kwakulokunjengesakhiwo somuzi ngaseningizimu.
In the visions of God he brought me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain: upon which there was as the building of a city, bending towards the south.
3 Wasengiletha khona, khangela-ke, kwakulomuntu osimo sakhe sasinjengesimo sethusi, elentambo yefilakisi esandleni sakhe, lomhlanga wokulinganisa; wema-ke esangweni.
And he brought me in thither, and behold a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed in his hand, and he stood in the gate.
4 Lowomuntu wasesithi kimi: Ndodana yomuntu, bona ngamehlo akho, uzwe ngendlebe zakho, ubeke inhliziyo yakho phezu kwakho konke engizakutshengisa khona; ngoba ulethwe lapha ukuze ngikutshengise khona. Landisa konke okubonayo kuyo indlu yakoIsrayeli.
And this man said to me: Son of man, see with thy eyes, and hear with thy ears, and set thy heart upon all that I shall shew thee: for thou art brought hither that they may be shewn to thee: declare all that thou seest, to the house of Israel.
5 Khangela-ke, kwakulomduli ngaphandle kwendlu ozingelezeleyo inhlangothi zonke, lesandleni somuntu kwakulomhlanga wokulinganisa wezingalo eziyisithupha, ngengalo lobubanzi besandla. Waselinganisa ububanzi besakhiwo, baba ngumhlanga owodwa, lokuphakama, kwaba ngumhlanga owodwa.
And behold there was a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed of six cubits and a handbreadth: and he measured the breadth of the building one reed, and the height one reed.
6 Wasesiza esangweni elikhangele indlela yempumalanga, wakhwela ngezinyathelo zalo, walinganisa umbundu wesango, ububanzi baba ngumhlanga owodwa, lomunye umbundu, ububanzi baba ngumhlanga owodwa.
And he came to the gate that looked toward the east, and he went up the steps thereof: and he measured the breadth of the threshold of the gate one reed, that is, one threshold was one reed broad:
7 Njalo yilelo lalelokamelo, ubude baba ngumhlanga owodwa, lobubanzi baba ngumhlanga owodwa; laphakathi kwamakamelo kwaba yizingalo ezinhlanu; lombundu wesango ngasekhulusini lesango ngaphakathi waba ngumhlanga owodwa.
And every little chamber was one reed long, and one reed broad: and between the little chambers were five cubits:
8 Walinganisa lekhulusi lesango ngaphakathi, laba ngumhlanga owodwa.
And the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within, was one reed.
9 Waselinganisa ikhulusi lesango, laba yizingalo eziyisificaminwembili; lemigubazi yawo, yaba zingalo ezimbili; lekhulusi lesango lalingaphakathi.
And he measured the porch of the gate eight cubits, and the front thereof two cubits: and the porch of the gate was inward.
10 Lamakamelo esango ngendlela yempumalanga ayemathathu ngapha lamathathu ngapha; njalo womathathu ayelesilinganiso sinye; lemigubazi yayilesilinganiso sinye ngapha langapha.
And the little chambers of the gate that looked eastward were three on this side, and three on that side: all three were of one measure, and the fronts of one measure, on both parts.
11 Waselinganisa ububanzi bentuba yesango, baba yizingalo ezilitshumi; ubude besango, baba yizingalo ezilitshumi lantathu.
And he measured the breadth of the threshold of the gate ten cubits: and the length of the gate thirteen cubits:
12 Lomkhawulo phambi kwamakamelo wawuyingalo eyodwa ngapha, lomkhawulo wengalo eyodwa ngapha; lekamelo laliyizingalo eziyisithupha ngapha, lezingalo eziyisithupha ngapha.
And the border before the little chambers one cubit: and one cubit was the border on both sides: and the little chambers were six cubits on this side and that side.
13 Waselinganisa isango kusukela ephahleni lwelinye ikamelo kusiya ephahleni lwelinye; ububanzi babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu, umnyango phambi komnyango.
And he measured the gate from the roof of one little chamber to the roof of another, in breadth five and twenty cubits: door against door.
14 Wenza futhi imigubazi yaba zingalo ezingamatshumi ayisithupha, ngitsho kuze kube semgubazini weguma inhlangothi zonke zesango zizingelezele.
He made also fronts of sixty cubits: and to the front the court of the gate on every side round about.
15 Njalo kusukela ebusweni besango lokungena kuze kube sebusweni bekhulusi lesango elingaphakathi kwaba zingalo ezingamatshumi amahlanu.
And before the face of the gate which reached even to the face of the porch of the inner gate, fifty cubits.
16 Futhi kwakulamawindi avaliweyo emakamelweni, lasemigubazini yawo ngaphakathi kwesango inhlangothi zonke azingelezeleyo; langokunjalo amakhulusi; lamawindi inhlangothi zonke azingelezeleyo ngaphakathi; laphezu kwemigubazi kwakulezihlahla zelala.
And slanting windows in the little chambers, and in their fronts, which were within the gate on every side round about: and in like, manner there wore also in the porches windows round about within, and before the fronts the representation of palm trees.
17 Wasengingenisa egumeni elingaphandle, khangela-ke, kwakulamakamelo, lendawo egandelweyo eyenzelwe iguma inhlangothi zonke ezingelezeleyo; kwakulamakamelo angamatshumi amathathu phezu kwendawo egandelweyo.
And he brought me into the outward court, and behold there were chambers, and a pavement of stone in the court round about: thirty chambers encompassed the pavement.
18 Lendawo egandelweyo yayingasemasangweni maqondana lobude bamasango; kwakuyindawo egandelweyo engaphansi.
And the pavement in the front of the gates according to the length of the gates was lower.
19 Waselinganisa ububanzi, kusukela ngaphambi kwesango elingaphansi kusiya ngaphambi kweguma elingaphakathi ngaphandle, kwaba yizingalo ezilikhulu, ngasempumalanga langasenyakatho.
And he measured the breadth from the face of the lower gate to the front of the inner court without, a hundred cubits to the east, and to the north.
20 Lesango elikhangele indlela yenyakatho, kulo iguma elingaphandle, walinganisa ubude balo lobubanzi balo.
He measured also both the length and the breadth of the gate of the outward court, which looked northward.
21 Lamakamelo alo ayemathathu ngapha, njalo emathathu ngapha; lemigubazi yalo lamakhulusi alo kwakunjengesilinganiso sesango lokuqala. Ubude balo babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amahlanu, lobubanzi buzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu.

22 Lamawindi alo lamakhulusi alo lezihlahla zalo zelala kwakunjengesilinganiso sesango elikhangele indlela yempumalanga. Njalo benyukela kilo ngezinyathelo eziyisikhombisa; lamakhulusi alo ayephambi kwakho.
And the windows thereof, and the porch, and the gravings according to the measure of the gate that looked to the east, and they went up to it by seven steps, and a porch was before it.
23 Lesango leguma elingaphakathi lalimaqondana lesango elingasenyakatho langasempumalanga. Waselinganisa kusukela esangweni kusiya esangweni, kwaba zingalo ezilikhulu.
And the gate of the inner court was over against the gate of the north, and that of the ease: and he measured from gate to gate a hundred cubits.
24 Emva kwalokho wangiletha ngendlela yeningizimu, khangela-ke, kwakukhona isango ngasendleleni yeningizimu; waselinganisa imigubazi yalo lamakhulusi alo njengokwalezizilinganiso.
And he brought me out to the way of the south, and behold the gate that looked to the south: and he measured the front thereof, and the porch thereof according to the former measures.

And the windows thereof, and the porches round about, as the other windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
26 Kwakukhona izinyathelo eziyisikhombisa zokwenyukela kilo, lamakhulusi alo ayephambi kwazo; njalo lalilezihlahla zelala, esinye ngapha, lesinye ngapha, phezu kwemigubazi yalo.
And there were seven steps to go up to it: and a porch before the doors thereof: and there were graven palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side in the front thereof.

38 Njalo amakamelo leminyango yalo kwakungasemigubazini yamasango; lapho babegezisela umnikelo wokutshiswa.
And at every chamber was a door in the forefronts of the gates: there they washed the holocaust.
39 Lekhulusini lesango kwakukhona amatafula amabili ngapha, lamatafula amabili ngapha, ukuhlabela phezu kwawo umnikelo wokutshiswa lomnikelo wesono lomnikelo wecala.
And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side: that the holocaust, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering might be slain thereon.
40 Laseceleni ngaphandle ekwenyukeleni kuso isivalo sesango lenyakatho kwakulamatafula amabili, laseceleni elinye elingasekhulusini lesango kwakulamatafula amabili.
And on the outward side, which goeth up to the entry of the gate that looketh toward the north, were two tables. and at the other side before the porch of the gate were two tables.
41 Amatafula amane ngapha, lamatafula amane ngapha, ngaseceleni kwesango; amatafula ayisificaminwembili, ababehlabela phezu kwawo.
Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side: at the sides of the gate were eight tables, upon which they slew the victims.

And without the inner gate were the chambers of the singing men in the inner court, which was on the side of the gate that looketh to the north: and their prospect was towards the south, one at the side of the east gate, which looketh toward the north.
45 Wasesithi kimi: Lelikamelo okukhangela kwalo kusendleleni yeningizimu, lingelabapristi, abagcina umlindo wendlu.
And he said to me: This chamber, which looketh toward the south shall be for the priests that watch in the wards of the temple.
46 Lekamelo okukhangela kwalo kusendleleni yenyakatho lingelabapristi, abagcina umlindo welathi. La ngamadodana kaZadoki phakathi kwamadodana kaLevi, asondela eNkosini ukuyikhonza.
But the chamber that looketh towards the north shall be for the priests that watch over the ministry of the altar. These are the sons of Sadoc, who among the sons of Levi, come near to the Lord, to minister to him.
47 Waselinganisa iguma; ubude baba zingalo ezilikhulu, lobubanzi baba zingalo ezilikhulu, lilingene inhlangothi zozine; lelathi laliphambi kwendlu.
And he measured the court a hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits broad foursquare: and the altar that was before the face of the temple.
48 Wasengiletha ekhulusini lendlu, walinganisa umgubazi wekhulusi, izingalo ezinhlanu ngapha lezingalo ezinhlanu ngapha, lobubanzi besango, izingalo ezintathu ngapha, lezingalo ezintathu ngapha.

And the length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits, and there were eight, steps to go up to it. And there were pillars in the fronts: one on this side, and another on that side.
