UHezekheli 42
1 Wasengikhuphela egumeni elingaphandle, ngendlela ekhangele ngasenyakatho; wangiletha ekamelweni eliqondene lendawo eyehlukeneyo, njalo eliqondene lesakhiwo ngasenyakatho.
And he brought me forth into the outer court, the way toward the north; and he brought me to the cells that were over against the separate place and which were over against the building, toward the north,
2 Phambi kobude bezingalo ezilikhulu kwakulomnyango wenyakatho; lobubanzi babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amahlanu.
before the length of the hundred cubits: the entry was on the north, and the breadth was fifty cubits,
3 Maqondana lezingalo ezingamatshumi amabili ezazingezeguma langaphakathi, lamaqondana lendawo egandelweyo eyayingeyeguma elingaphandle, kwakulomkhandlo maqondana lomkhandlo, ngezitezi ezintathu.
over against the twenty [cubits] that pertained to the inner court, and over against the pavement that pertained to the outer court; there was gallery against gallery in the third [story];
4 Laphambi kwamakamelo kwakulendawo yokuhamba ezingalo ezilitshumi ngobubanzi ngaphakathi, indlela eyingalo eyodwa, leminyango yawo yayingasenyakatho.
and before the cells was a walk of ten cubits in breadth, [and] a way of a hundred cubits inward; and their entries were toward the north.
5 Amakamelo angaphezulu-ke ayemafitshane; ngoba imikhandlo yayinciphisa kuwo, kulakwaphansi lakulakwaphakathi kwesakhiwo.
And the upper cells, because the galleries encroached on them, were shorter than the lower, and than the middle-most of the building.
6 Ngoba ayelezitezi ezintathu, kodwa zazingelazinsika njengezinsika zamaguma; ngakho-ke isakhiwo sasinciphile kulakwaphansi lakulakwaphakathi kusukela emhlabathini.
For they were in three [stories], but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts; therefore [the third story] was straitened more than the lowest and the middle-most from the ground.
7 Lomduli owawungaphandle maqondana lamakamelo, indlela yeguma elingaphandle ngaphambi kwamakamelo, ubude bawo babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amahlanu.
And the wall that was without, answering to the cells, toward the outer court in the front of the cells, its length was fifty cubits:
8 Ngoba ubude bamakamelo ayesegumeni elingaphandle babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amahlanu; khangela-ke, ngaphambi kwethempeli kwakuzingalo ezilikhulu.
for the length of the cells that were against the outer court was fifty cubits; but behold, before the temple it was a hundred cubits.
9 Langaphansi kwalamakamelo kwakulokungena ngasempumalanga, lapho umuntu engena kuwo evela egumeni elingaphandle.
And under these cells was the entry from the east, as one goeth into them from the outer court.
10 Amakamelo ayesebubanzini bomduli weguma, indlela yempumalanga, ngaphambi kwendawo eyehlukanisiweyo, langaphambi kwesakhiwo.
In the breadth of the wall of the court toward the south, before the separate place, and before the building, were cells;
11 Lendlela phambi kwawo yayinjengesimo samakamelo ayesendleleni yenyakatho, njengobude bawo, ngokunjalo njengobubanzi bawo. Lakho konke ukuphuma kwawo kwakunjengokwemikhuba yawo lanjengokweminyango yawo.
and a passage before them, like the appearance of the cells that were toward the north, according to their length, according to their breadth and all their goings out, and according to their fashions, and according to their doors.
12 Lanjengokweminyango yamakamelo ayesendleleni yeningizimu kwakulomnyango esihlokweni sendlela, indlela phambi komduli oqondileyo, lapho umuntu engena indlela yempumalanga.
And according to the doors of the cells that were toward the south there was a door at the head of the way, the way directly before the corresponding wall toward the east as one entereth into them.
13 Wasesithi kimi: Amakamelo enyakatho lamakamelo eningizimu, aphambi kwendawo eyehlukanisiweyo, angamakamelo angcwele, lapho abapristi abasondela eNkosini abazakudla khona izinto ezingcwelengcwele; babeke khona izinto ezingcwelengcwele, lomnikelo wokudla, lomnikelo wesono, lomnikelo wecala, ngoba indawo ingcwele.
And he said unto me, The north cells [and] the south cells, which are before the separate place, they are holy cells, where the priests that come near unto Jehovah shall eat the most holy things; there shall they lay the most holy things, both the oblation and the sin-offering and the trespass-offering: for the place is holy.
14 Lapho abapristi bengena, kabayikuphuma endaweni engcwele baye egumeni elingaphandle, kodwa bazabeka lapho izembatho zabo abakhonza ngazo, ngoba zingcwele; bagqoke ezinye izembatho, basondele kukho okungokwabantu.
When the priests enter in, they shall not go forth from the sanctuary 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 is for the people.
15 Eseqedile izilinganiso zendlu engaphakathi, wangikhupha ngendlela yesango elikhangele indlela yempumalanga, wayilinganisa inhlangothi zonke ezizingelezeleyo.
And when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate whose front was toward the east, and measured [the enclosure] round about.
16 Walinganisa uhlangothi lwempumalanga ngomhlanga wokulinganisa, imihlanga engamakhulu amahlanu, ngomhlanga wokulinganisa inhlangothi zonke.
He measured the east side with the measuring-reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring-reed round about.
17 Walinganisa uhlangothi lwenyakatho, imihlanga engamakhulu amahlanu, ngomhlanga wokulinganisa inhlangothi zonke.
He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring-reed round about.
18 Walinganisa uhlangothi olungeningizimu, imihlanga engamakhulu amahlanu, ngomhlanga wokulinganisa.
He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring-reed.
19 Wasephendukela kuhlangothi lwentshonalanga, walinganisa imihlanga engamakhulu amahlanu ngomhlanga wokulinganisa.
He turned about to the west side, [and] measured five hundred reeds with the measuring-reed.
20 Wayilinganisa ezinhlangothini zozine. Yayilomduli inhlangothi zonke uzingelezele, ubude bangamakhulu amahlanu, lobubanzi bungamakhulu amahlanu, ukwehlukanisa phakathi kokungcwele lokungangcwele.
He measured it on the four sides; it had a wall round about, five hundred long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.
