Hisqiʼeel 43
1 Ergasii namichi sun gara balbala baʼa biiftuutti garagaluutti na fide;
Then [in the vision] the man brought me to the entrance on the east side.
2 anis utuu ulfinni Waaqa Israaʼel baʼa biiftuutii dhufuu nan arge. Sagaleen isaa akka sagalee huursaa bishaan yaaʼuu ture; laftis ulfina isaatiin ifte.
Suddenly I saw the glory/brightness of the God of Israel coming from the east. The sound of his coming was like the roar of a rushing river, and all that area shone with his glory.
3 Mulʼanni ani arges mulʼata ani yommuu inni magaalaa barbadeesuuf dhufetti argee fi mulʼata ani Laga Kebaar biratti argee ture sana fakkaata; anis adda kootiin lafatti nan gombifame.
What I saw in this vision was like what I saw in the visions that I had seen [previously, first] by the Kebar River and [later] when God came to destroy Jerusalem. I prostrated myself on the ground.
4 Ulfinni Waaqayyoo sun karaa balbala gara baʼa biiftuutti garagaluun mana qulqullummaa seene.
The glory of Yahweh entered the temple through the east entrance.
5 Ergasiis Hafuurri ol na fuudhee gara oobdii gara keessaatti na fide; ulfinni Waaqayyoos mana qulqullummaa guute.
Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner courtyard, and the glory of Yahweh filled the temple.
6 Utuu namichi sun na bira dhaabatee jiruu, nama wayii kan mana qulqullummaa keessaa natti dubbatu nan dhagaʼe.
[Then] while the man was standing beside me, I heard someone speak to me from inside the temple.
7 Innis akkana naan jedhe: “Yaa ilma namaa, kun iddoo teessoo kootii fi faanni miilla koo irra ejjetuu dha. Kunis iddoo ani bara baraan Israaʼeloota gidduu jiraadhuu dha. Manni Israaʼel jechuunis isaan yookaan mootonni isaanii sagaagalummaa isaaniitii fi reeffa mootota isaaniitiin lammata gaarran waaqeffannaa isaanii irratti maqaa koo qulqulluu sana hin xureessan.
He said, “You human, this is [my temple], the place [I sit on] my throne and where I rest my feet. This is where I will live with the Israeli people forever. The Israeli people and their kings will never again disgrace me [SYN] by worshiping other gods [MET] at the shrines on their hilltops, or by [building] monuments to honor their kings who have died.
8 Isaan yommuu anaa fi isaan gidduutti dallaa qofa hambisanii buusaa balbala isaanii buusaa balbala kootii bira, michichila balbala isaanii immoo michichila balbala kootii bira dhaabatanitti hojii isaanii jibbisiisaa sanaan maqaa koo qulqullicha xureessan. Kanaafuu ani dheekkamsa kootiin isaanan balleesse.
They placed their altars near mine, and the doorposts of their [temples] were next to the doorposts of my [temple]. There was only a wall between them. And they disgraced me by the detestable things that they did. So, being very angry with them, I got rid of them.
9 Isaan amma sagaagalummaa isaaniitii fi reeffa mootota isaanii sana narraa haa fageessani; anis bara baraan isaan gidduu nan jiraadha.
Now they must stop this disgusting worship of idols and these rituals to honor their kings who have died. If they stop doing those things, I will live among them forever.
10 “Yaa ilma namaa, akka isaan cubbuu isaaniitiin qaanaʼaniif namoota Israaʼelitti mana qulqullummaa argisiisi. Isaan karoora isaa haa hubatan;
You human, describe to the Israeli people what this temple that I have shown you [in a vision] is like, in order that they will be ashamed of the sins that they have committed [which resulted in their temple in Jerusalem being destroyed].
11 yoo isaan waan hojjetan hundatti qaanaʼan, karoora mana qulqullummaa jechuunis haala inni ittiin hojjetame, balbala ol seensisuu fi gad baasu, karoora isaa guutuu jechuunis sirna isaatii fi seera isaa hunda akka beekan godhi. Akka isaan karoora isaatii fi guutummaa sirna isaatiif amanamanii fi duukaa buʼaniifis fuula isaanii duratti waan kana barreessi.
If they are ashamed of all [the evil things] that they have done, tell them [all] about the temple [that I showed you]: its design/shape, the exits and entrances, [and everything else about it]. And tell them all my laws and regulations about worshiping me there. Write all these things down while they watch you, in order that they will be able to faithfully obey those laws.
12 “Seerri mana qulqullummaa kanaa dha: Lafti naannoo fiixee tulluu jiru hundi waan hunda caalaa qulqulluudhaa. Kun seera mana qulqullummaa ti.
And this is the supreme law about the temple [DOU]: All of the area on top of the hill [where the temple will be built] must be kept sacred and holy.”
13 “Lafa irra dheerinni iddoo aarsaa dhundhuma dheeraadhaan isa kana: Innis dhundhuma tokkoo fi balʼina barruu harkaa tokkoo dha; jalli isaa gad fageenya dhundhuma tokkootii fi balʼina dhundhuma tokkoo qaba; naannoon isaa immoo xiyyoo taakkuu tokkoo qaba. Ol dheerinni iddoo aarsaa sanaa kana:
These are the measurements of the altar, using the same kind of measuring stick that was used for the temple area: There is a gutter around the altar that is (21 in./53 cm.) deep and (21 in./53 cm.) wide. There is a rim around it that is (9 in./23 cm.) wide.
14 Jala isaatii kaasee hamma gulantaa gadiitti ol dheerina dhundhuma lamaatii fi balʼina dhundhuma tokkoo qaba; gulantaa xinnaadhaa hamma gulantaa guddaatti ol dheerina dhundhuma afuriitii fi balʼina dhundhuma tokkoo qaba.
The lower part of the gutter is (3-1/2 feet/1.1 meters) high to the lower ledge/rim that surrounds the altar. The lower ledge is (21 in./53 cm.) wide. The upper part of the altar is (7 feet/2.1 meters) high, up to the upper ledge. That ledge is also (21 in./53 cm.) wide.
15 Iddoon ibiddaa kan iddoo aarsaa dhundhuma afur ol dheerata; badaan ibiddaa kun gaanfawwan ol babbaʼan afur qaba.
The (hearth/place where the sacrifices are burned) at the top of the altar is another (7 feet/2.2 meters) high, and there is a projection that juts/extends up from each of the four corners.
16 Iddoon ibiddaa kun roga wal qixxee afur qaba; dheerinni isaa dhundhuma kudha lama, balʼinni isaa immoo dhundhuma kudha lama:
That place at the top of the altar is square, (21 feet/6.4 meters) on each side.
17 Gulantaan ol aanus roga wal qixxee afur qaba; dheerinni isaa dhundhuma kudha afur, balʼinni isaas dhundhuma kudha afur; xiyyoon isaa walakkaa dhundhumaa, naannoon jala isaa immoo dhundhuma tokkoo dha. Gulantaawwan iddoo aarsaa sanaa gara baʼa biiftuutti garagalu.”
The upper ledge is also a square, (24-1/2 feet/7.4 meters) on each side. There is a (21 in./53 cm.) gutter [at the bottom of the altar], and a (10.5 in./26.6 cm.) rim all around it. There are steps up to the east side of the altar.”
18 Inni akkana naan jedhe; “Yaa ilma namaa, Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Yeroo iddoon aarsaa ijaaramutti dambiiwwan ittiin aarsaan gubamu dhiʼeeffamuu fi dhiigni iddoo aarsaa irratti facaafamu kanaa dha:
Then the man said to me, “You human, this is what Yahweh the Lord says: These are the regulations for sacrificing offerings that will be completely burned and for sprinkling the blood against the sides of the altar when it is built:
19 luboota Lewwota maatii Zaadoq kanneen na tajaajiluuf fuula koo duratti dhiʼaataniif akka aarsaa cubbuu taʼuuf dibicha kennita, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
You must present to the priests a young bull to be an offering to cause the altar to be acceptable to me. The priests are descendants of Levi, from the clan of Zadok, who come near to the altar to serve me.
20 Atis dhiiga isaa irraa xinnoo fudhattee gaanfa afran kan iddoo aarsaa, goleewwan gulantaa ol aanuu afranii fi naannoo xiyyoo isaa hunda dibda; haala kanaanis iddoo aarsaa sana qulqulleessitee araara buufta.
You must take some of the blood [from the bull that is sacrificed], and smear it on the four projections of the altar and on the four corners of the upper ledge, and all around the rim, to cause the altar to be acceptable to me, and to consecrate it.
21 Dibicha sanas aarsaa cubbuutiif fuutee iddoo qulqulluudhaan alatti, kutaa mana qulqullummaa kan waan kanaaf ramadame keessatti ni gubda.
You must burn that bull outside the temple in the part of the temple area [that I have] designated for that.
22 “Guyyaa lammaffaatti korbeessa reʼee kan hirʼina hin qabne aarsaa cubbuutiif dhiʼeessita; iddoon aarsaas akkuma dibichaan qulqulleeffame sanatti qulqulleeffama.
The next day, you must offer a male goat that has no defects, to be an offering to cause the altar to be acceptable to me. Then you must purify the altar again, like you did with the bull that was sacrificed.
23 Erga iddoo aarsaa sana qulqulleessitee booddee, horii keessaa dibichaa fi korbeessa bushaayee kanneen lamaan isaani iyyuu hirʼina hin qabne dhiʼeessita.
When you have finished doing all that, you must offer a young bull and a ram, both of them without any defects.
24 Ati fuula Waaqayyoo duratti isaan dhiʼeessita; luboonni immoo soogidda itti facaasanii aarsaa gubamu godhanii Waaqayyoof isaan dhiʼeessu.
You must offer them to [me], Yahweh, and the priests must sprinkle salt on them and completely burn them [on the altar] for a sacrifice to me.
25 “Ati guyyaa torbaaf guyyuma guyyaan korbeessa reʼee aarsaa cubbuutiif dhiʼeessuu qabda; akkasumas horii keessaa dibichaa fi korbeessa bushaayee kan hirʼina hin qabne dhiʼeessuu qabda.
[Then], each day for seven days, you must bring [to the priest] a male goat [to be sacrificed] for an offering to cause the altar to be acceptable to me. You must also sacrifice a young bull and a ram, [each] without any defect.
26 Isaanis guyyaa torbaaf iddoo aarsaatiif araara buusanii isa qulqulleessuu qabu; akkasittis isa qulqulleessu.
For seven days the priests will consecrate the altar and cause it to be acceptable to me. By doing that they will dedicate it to me.
27 Dhuma guyyoota kanaatti, guyyaa saddeettaffaa irraa jalqabee luboonni aarsaa keessan kan gubamuu fi aarsaa keessan kan nagaa iddoo aarsaa irratti dhiʼeessuu qabu. Ergasii ani isinan simadha, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.”
At the end of those seven days, starting on the following day, the priests will continue to put on the altar offerings to be completely burned and offerings to maintain fellowship with me. Then I will accept you. [That it what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.”
