1 Sana booddee namichi sun karaa kaabaatiin gara oobdii alaatti na baasee gara fuullee dareewwan oobdii mana qulqullummaa fi gara fuullee ijaarsa alaa kan karaa kaabaa jiruutti na fide.
[in the vision] the man led me out of the inner courtyard, through [the entrance on] the north side. We entered the outer courtyard and came to a building that was built against the north [of the inner courtyard].
2 Ijaarsi balballi isaa gara kaabaatti garagalu sun dheerina dhundhuma dhibba tokkoo fi balʼina dhundhuma dhibba tokko qaba ture.
That building was (175 feet/53 meters) long and (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) wide. Its doorway faced north.
3 Kutaa oobdii isa gara keessaa kan dhundhuma digdamaa keessaa fi kutaa fuullee madabii oobdii kan gara alaa jiru keessa sadarkaa sadiin darbiin tokko darbii kaanitti garagalee ture.
In that building were two rows of rooms, built on three levels, that faced each other. One row of rooms was built against the wall of the inner courtyard, and the other row was built against the wall facing the outer courtyard. The building was 34 feet from the temple.
4 Dareewwan sana fuula duraanis karaan mana keessaan nama baasu kan dhundhuma kudhan balʼatee dhundhuma dhibba tokko dheeratutu ture. Balbalawwan isaaniis karaa kaabaatiin turan.
Between the [two] rows of rooms there was a walkway that was (17-1/2 feet/5.3 meters) wide and (175 feet/53 meters) long. All its doors were on the north side.
5 Sababii darbiiwwan sun iddoo dareewwan kanneen gara gadii irraa fi gamoo isa gidduu irraa qabatan caalaa dareewwan olii jalaa qabataniif dareewwan olii dhidhiphoo dha.
Each of the upper rows of rooms was narrower than the row of rooms below them, [because the upper rows needed to have a walkway in front of them].
6 Dareewwan darbii sadaffaa irra jiran akka oobdiiwwanii utubaawwan hin qaban ture; kanaafuu darbiiwwan gara gadiitii fi walakkaa jiran caalaa lafa xinnaa qabu ture.
The rooms on the upper levels had no pillars to support them like the ones in the courtyard. Instead, each of those row of rooms were supported by the walls of the row of rooms on the level below.
7 Keenyan karaa alaa tokkos dareewwanii fi oobdii gara alaa fuullee jira ture; innis dareewwan sana fuula duraan dhundhuma shantamaa dheerata ture.
The wall of the building extended (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) past the set of rooms built along the outer courtyard, separating all the rooms from the outer courtyard.
8 Dheerinni dareewwan oobdii alaatti aananii tarreedhaan jiranii dhundhuma shantama, tarreen mana qulqullummaatti aanee jiru immoo dhundhuma dhibba tokko dheerata ture.
The row of rooms that were along the outer courtyard was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) long, and the set of rooms that faced the temple was (175 feet/53 meters) long.
9 Yommuu oobdii alaatii ol seenanitti, balballi karaa baʼaatiin gara dareewwan gadiitti nama seensisu tokko ni argama ture.
The lowest row of rooms had an entrance from the outer courtyard, on the east side.
10 Karaa kibbaatiinis dheerina dallaa oobdii gara alaa qabatee, oobdii mana qulqullummaa qabatee fuullee dallaa gara alaatiin dareewwan
On the south [side], along the wall of the outer courtyard, next to the temple courtyard, was a [a building with two] rows of rooms,
11 fuula isaanii duraan karaa namni irra darbu qabantu ture. Dareewwan kunneenis akkuma dareewwan karaa kaabaa sanaa turan; isaanis dheerinaa fi balʼina, karaa ittiin gad baʼanii fi guddina wal fakkaatu qabu turan. Balbalawwan karaa kaabaa
with a walkway between them. Those rooms were like the rooms on the north [side]: they were the same length and width, and had the same kind of entrances.
12 balbalawwan dareewwan karaa kibbaa wajjin wal fakkaatu turan. Karaa namni irra darbu kan dallaa gara baʼaatti ijaarameen wal cina deemuun fuullee jiru kan ittiin dareewwan seenan tokkotu jira ture.
The doorways on the south side were similar to the doorways on the north side. There was an entrance in the wall that faced the doors of the set of rooms, and there was an entrance on the east side, at the end of the inside walkway.
13 Ergasiis inni akkana naan jedhe; “Dareewwan kaabaatii fi kibbaa kanneen gara oobdii mana qulqullummaatti garagalanii jiran sun dareewwan lubootaa, iddoo itti luboonni warri fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhiʼaatan aarsaa aarsaa hunda caalaa qulqulluu taʼe nyaatanii dha. Isaanis aarsaa aarsaa hunda caalaa qulqulluu taʼe jechuunis kennaa midhaanii, aarsaa cubbuutii fi aarsaa yakkaa achi kaaʼu; iddoon sun qulqulluudhaatii.
Then the man said to me, “These rooms that overlook the temple on the north and south sides are holy. Here the priests who offer sacrifices to Yahweh will [their portions of] the sacred offerings. Because these rooms are holy, they will be used to store the sacred offerings: [the grain for] the grain offerings, the offerings for the sins that people have committed, and offerings in order that people will no longer be guilty for having sinned.
14 Luboonni iddoo qulqulluu sana takkaa seennaan hamma uffata ittiin tajaajilan sana of irraa baasanitti gara oobdii gara alaatti hin baʼan; wayyaan sun qulqulluudhaatii. Isaan utuu iddoo uummataaf ramadametti hin dhiʼaatin uffata biraa uffachuu qabu.”
When the priests leave the temple, they will not be allowed to [immediately] enter the outer courtyard. First, they must remove the clothes that they had been wearing inside the temple, because those clothes are holy. They must put on other clothes before they enter the parts [of the temple area] where the [other] people [gather].”
15 Inni erga waan mana qulqullummaa keessa jiru safaree xumuree booddee karaa balbala baʼaatiin na baasee naannoo sana hunda safare.
When the man had finished measuring the inside of the temple area, he led me out through the east entrance [of the outer courtyard] and measured all the way around the temple area.
16 Kallattii baʼaas ulee ittiin safaraniin safare; wanni inni safares dhundhuma dhibba shan taʼe.
He measured the four sides of the area. There was a wall around the area that was (875 feet/265 meters) long on each side.
17 Kallattii gara kaabaas safaree safarri sun ulee safaraatiin dhundhuma dhibba shan taʼe.
18 Kallattii kibbaatiinis safaree safarri sun ulee ittiin safaraniin dhundhuma dhibba shan taʼe.
19 Ergasii inni gara kallattii dhiʼaatti garagalee safaree, safarri sun ulee ittiin safaraniin dhundhuma dhibba shan taʼe.
20 Kanaafuu inni iddoo kallattii afraniin jiru safare. Iddoon sun dallaa iddoo qulqulluu, iddoo xuraaʼaa irraa addaan baasu kan dheerinni isaa dhundhuma dhibba shan, balʼinni isaas dhundhuma dhibba shan qaba ture.
That wall separated the [area which was] sacred/holy from the [areas that were] not sacred.
