Hisqiʼeel 44
1 Sana booddee namichi sun balbala iddoo qulqulluu kan karaa alaatiin gara baʼa biiftuutti garagalutti deebisee na fide; balballi sunis cufamee ture.
Then he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looks toward the east; and it was shut.
2 Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe; “Balballi kun cufamee hafa; inni banamuu hin qabu; namni tokko iyyuu achiin hin seenu. Sababii Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel karaa sanaan seeneef, balballi sun cufamee hafa.
Yahweh said to me, “This gate shall be shut. It shall not be opened, no man shall enter in by it; for Yahweh, the God of Israel, has entered in by it. Therefore it shall be shut.
3 Namni fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waa nyaachuuf karra ittiin seenan keessa taaʼuu dandaʼu bulchaa sana qofa. Inni karra ittiin gardaafoo seenan sanaan ol galee achumaan gad baʼuu qaba.”
As for the prince, he shall sit in it as prince to eat bread before Yahweh. He shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go out the same way.”
4 Namichi sun karra kaabaatiin gara fuullee mana qulqullummaatti na fide. Anis milʼadheen akka ulfinni Waaqayyoo mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo guute arge; adda kootiinis lafattan gombifame.
Then he brought me by the way of the north gate before the house; and I looked, and behold, Yahweh’s glory filled Yahweh’s house; so I fell on my face.
5 Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe; “Yaa ilma namaa, waaʼee danbiiwwan mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo waan ani sitti himu hunda hubadhuu ilaali; sirriitti dhaggeeffadhu; qalbeeffadhus. Waaʼee karra ittiin mana qulqullummaa seenaniitii fi karra ittiin iddoo qulqulluudhaa baʼanii hunda yaadatti qabadhu.
Yahweh said to me, “Son of man, mark well, and see with your eyes, and hear with your ears all that I tell you concerning all the ordinances of Yahweh’s house and all its laws; and mark well the entrance of the house, with every exit of the sanctuary.
6 Mana Israaʼel fincilaa sanaan akkana jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Yaa mana Israaʼel, hojiin keessan jibbisiisaan sun haa gaʼu!
You shall tell the rebellious, even the house of Israel, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “You house of Israel, let that be enough of all your abominations,
7 Hojiiwwan keessan jibbisiisoo kaan hundatti dabaltanii alagoota yaada garaa fi fooniin dhagna hin qabatin iddoo qulqulluu kootti galchitan; nyaata, coomaa fi dhiiga naaf dhiʼeessuudhaan mana qulqullummaa koo xureessitan; kakuu koos cabsitan.
in that you have brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to profane it, even my house, when you offer my bread, the fat and the blood; and they have broken my covenant, to add to all your abominations.
8 Isin itti gaafatamummaa wantoota koo qulqulluu irratti qabdan fiixaan baasuu diddanii iddoo koo qulqulluu irratti alagoota muuddatan.
You have not performed the duty of my holy things; but you have set performers of my duty in my sanctuary for yourselves.”
9 Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Alagaan yaada garaa fi fooniin dhagna hin qabatin iddoo koo qulqulluu sana seenuu hin qabu; alagoonni Israaʼeloota gidduu jiraatan iyyuu seenuu hin qaban.
The Lord Yahweh says, “No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any foreigners who are among the children of Israel.
10 “‘Lewwonni warri yeroo Israaʼeloonni narraa jalʼatanitti waaqota isaanii duukaa buʼuudhaan jooran cubbuu isaaniitti gaafatamuu qabu.
“‘“But the Levites who went far from me when Israel went astray, who went astray from me after their idols, they will bear their iniquity.
11 Isaan itti gaafatamummaa karrawwan mana qulqullummaa qabaachuudhaan, isa keessas tajaajiluudhaan iddoo qulqulluu koo keessa tajaajiluu dandaʼu; qalma gubamu qalanii maqaa uummataatiin dhiʼeessuu, fuula uummataa dura dhaabataniis uummata tajaajiluu ni dandaʼu.
Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having oversight at the gates of the house, and ministering in the house. They shall kill the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister to them.
12 Garuu sababii isaan fuula waaqota isaanii duratti uummata tajaajilanii mana Israaʼel cubbuudhaan kuffisaniif ani akka isaan cubbuu isaaniitti gaafatamaniif harka ol kaafadhee kakadheera, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
Because they ministered to them before their idols, and became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I have lifted up my hand against them,” says the Lord Yahweh, “and they will bear their iniquity.
13 Isaan luboota taʼanii na tajaajiluuf natti dhiʼaachuu hin qaban yookaan wantoota koo qulqulluu kamitti iyyuu yookaan aarsaawwan koo kanneen aarsaawwan hunda caalaa qulqulluu taʼanitti dhiʼaachuu hin qaban; qaanii hojiiwwan isaanii jibbisiisoo baadhachuu qabu.
They shall not come near to me, to execute the office of priest to me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, to the things that are most holy; but they will bear their shame and their abominations which they have committed.
14 Taʼus ani akka isaan itti gaafatama mana qulqullummaa qabaataniif, akka isaan hojii isaa hunda hojjetanii fi waan achi keessatti hojjetamuu qabu hunda hojjetaniif isaan nan muuda.
Yet I will make them performers of the duty of the house, for all its service and for all that will be done therein.
15 “‘Luboonni warri Lewwotaa fi sanyii Zaadoq taʼanii fi warri yeroo Israaʼeloonni karaa koo irraa jalʼatanitti hojii iddoo qulqulluu koo amanamummaadhaan deemsisan fuula koo dura tajaajiluudhaaf dhiʼaachuu qabu; coomaa fi dhiigas aarsaa godhanii dhiʼeessuuf fuula koo dura dhaabachuu qabu, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
“‘“But the Levitical priests, the sons of Zadok, who performed the duty of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, shall come near to me to minister to me. They shall stand before me to offer to me the fat and the blood,” says the Lord Yahweh.
16 Iddoo qulqulluu koo isaan qofatu seenuu qaba; isaan qofatu na tajaajiluu fi hojii koo hojjechuuf maaddii kootti dhiʼaachuu qaba.
“They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister to me, and they shall keep my instruction.
17 “‘Isaan yeroo karra oobdii gara keessaatiin seenanitti wayyaa quncee talbaa irraa dhaʼame uffachuu qabu; yeroo karra oobdii gara keessaa dura yookaan mana qulqullummaa keessa tajaajilanitti wayyaa suufii irraa dhaʼame kam iyyuu uffachuu hin qaban.
“‘“It will be that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments. No wool shall come on them while they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.
18 Isaan marata quncee talbaa irraa dhaʼame mataa isaaniitti maratanii wayyaa jalaa kan quncee talbaa irraa dhaʼame mudhii isaaniitti hidhachuu qabu. Wayyaa isaan dafqisiisu kam iyyuu uffachuu hin qaban.
They shall have linen turbans on their heads, and shall have linen trousers on their waists. They shall not clothe themselves with anything that makes them sweat.

When they go out into the outer court, even into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments in which they minister and lay them in the holy rooms. They shall put on other garments, that they not sanctify the people with their garments.
20 “‘Rifeensa mataa isaanii haaddachuu yookaan guddisuu hin qaban; garuu rifeensa mataa isaanii murachuu qabu.

None of the priests shall drink wine when they enter into the inner court.
22 Isaan haadha hiyyeessaa yookaan niitii dhirsi hiike fuudhuu hin qaban; durba sanyii Israaʼel yookaan niitii lubni irraa duʼe qofa fuudhuu dandaʼu.
They shall not take for their wives a widow, or her who is put away; but they shall take virgins of the offspring of the house of Israel, or a widow who is the widow of a priest.

They shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the common, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
24 “‘Falmii kam iyyuu keessatti luboonni akka abbootii seeraatti haa tajaajilan; akka sirna koottis haa murteessan. Isaan seera koo fi ajaja koo kan ayyaana kootiif murteeffame hundaaf kenname sana eeguu qabu; Sanbatoota koos qulqulleessanii eeguu qabu.
“‘“In a controversy they shall stand to judge. They shall judge it according to my ordinances. They shall keep my laws and my statutes in all my appointed feasts. They shall make my Sabbaths holy.
25 “‘Lubni tokko nama duʼetti dhiʼaachuudhaan of xureessuu hin qabu; haa taʼu malee yoo namni duʼe sun abbaa isaa yookaan haadha isaa, ilma isaa yookaan intala isaa, obboleessa isaa yookaan obboleettii isaa kan hin heerumin taʼe garuu inni of xureessuu dandaʼa.
