Ezekieri 43
1 Ipapo murume uya akandiuyisa kusuo rakatarisa kumabvazuva,
Then [in the vision] the man brought me to the entrance on the east side.
2 uye ndakaona kubwinya kwaMwari waIsraeri kuchibva kumabvazuva. Inzwi rake rakanga rakaita somubvumo wemvura zhinji, uye pasi pakapenya nokubwinya kwake.
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 Chiratidzo chandakaona chakanga chakaita sechiratidzo chandakanga ndamboona paakauya kuzoparadza guta uye nechiratidzo chandakaona paRwizi rweKebhari, ndikawira pasi nechiso changu.
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 Kubwinya kwaJehovha kwakapinda mutemberi napasuo rakanangana nokumabvazuva.
The glory of Yahweh entered the temple through the east entrance.
5 Ipapo mweya wakandisimudza ukandiisa muruvazhe rwomukati, uye kubwinya kwaJehovha kwakazadza temberi.
Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner courtyard, and the glory of Yahweh filled the temple.
6 Murume uya achakamira pandiri, ndakanzwa mumwe achiti kwandiri ari mukati metemberi. Akati kwandiri,
[Then] while the man was standing beside me, I heard someone speak to me from inside the temple.
7 “Mwanakomana womunhu, iyi ndiyo nzvimbo yechigaro changu choushe nenzvimbo yechitsiko chetsoka dzangu. Ndipo pandichagara ndiri pakati pavaIsraeri nokusingaperi. Imba yaIsraeri haichazosvibisizve zita rangu dzvene kunyange ivo kana madzimambo avo, noufeve hwavo uye zvifananidzo zvamadzimambo avo, zvisina upenyu panzvimbo dzavo dzakakwirira.
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 Pavakaisa chikumbaridzo mujinga mechikumbaridzo changu namagwatidziro pajinga pegwatidziro rangu pachingova norusvingo pakati pangu naivo, vakasvibisa zita rangu dzvene nezvinonyangadza zvavakaita. Saka ndakavaparadza mukutsamwa kwangu.
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 Zvino ngavarashire ufeve hwavo kure nezvifananidzo zvavo zvisina upenyu zvamadzimambo avo, ipapo ndichagara pakati pavo nokusingaperi.
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 “Mwanakomana womunhu, rondedzera nezvetemberi kuvanhu veIsraeri, kuti vanyare pamusoro pezvivi zvavo. Ngavarangarire urongwa hwayo,
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 uye kana vachinyara pamusoro pezvavakaita zvose, uvazivise magadzirirwo etemberi, nourongwa hwayo, panobudiwa napo napanopindwa napo, mamiriro ayo ose nemitemo yayo yose uye mirayiro yayo. Unyore izvi pamberi pavo kuti vagova vakatendeka kumagadzirirwo ayo vagotevera mitemo yayo yose.
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 “Uyu ndiwo murayiro wetemberi: Nzvimbo dzose dzakapoteredza dziri pamusoro pegomo dzichava tsvene-tsvene. Ndiwo murayiro wetemberi iwoyu.
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 “Izvi ndizvo zviyero zvearitari mumakubhiti marefu, kubhiti riri kubhiti noupamhi hwechanza: Chigadziko chayo chakadzika kubhiti rimwe chete nekubhiti rimwe chete paupamhi, nomuromo uno upamhi hwechanza pamusoro. Uku ndiko kukwirira kwearitari:
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 Kubva pachigadziko chapasi kusvikira pamupanda wenyasi yakakwirira namakubhiti maviri uye kubhiti rimwe chete paupamhi, uye kubva pamupanda muduku kusvikira pamupanda mukuru yakakwirira namakubhiti mana uye kubhiti rimwe chete paupamhi.
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 Choto chearitari chakakwirira namakubhiti mana, uye nyanga ina dzakatarisa kumusoro kubva pachoto.
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 Choto chearitari chine mativi akaenzana, makubhiti gumi namaviri paurefu uye makubhiti gumi namaviri paupamhi.
That place at the top of the altar is square, (21 feet/6.4 meters) on each side.
17 Mupanda wokumusoro naiwowo una mativi akaenzana, wakareba makubhiti gumi namana uye makubhiti gumi namana paupamhi, nomuromo une hafu yekubhiti nechigadziko chekubhiti rimwe chete pakutenderera kwaro. Zvitsiko zvearitari zvakatarisa kumabvazuva.”
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 Ipapo iye akati kwandiri, “Mwanakomana womunhu, zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Iyi ndiyo ichava mitemo yokubayira zvibayiro zvinopiswa nokusasa ropa pamusoro pearitari painenge yavakwa:
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 Unofanira kupa hando duku sechipiriso chechivi kuvaprista, vanova ndivo vaRevhi, vemhuri yaZadhoki, vanoswedera kuti vashumire pamberi pangu, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.
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 Unofanira kutora rimwe reropa ugoriisa panyanga ina dzearitari uye napamakona mana pamupanda wapamusoro napamuromo wose, nokudaro unatse aritari ugoiyananisira.
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 Unofanira kutora hando yechipiriso chechivi ugopisa panzvimbo yakatsaurwa yetemberi iri kunze kwenzvimbo tsvene.
You must burn that bull outside the temple in the part of the temple area [that I have] designated for that.
22 “Pazuva rechipiri unofanira kubayira nhongo isina chainopomerwa chive chibayiro chechivi, uye aritari inofanira kunatswa sokunatswa kwayakaitwa nehando.
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 Kana mapedza kuinatsa, unofanira kubayira hando duku uye negondobwe rinobva pamakwai, zvose zvisina chazvinopomerwa.
When you have finished doing all that, you must offer a young bull and a ram, both of them without any defects.
24 Unofanira kuzvibayira pamberi paJehovha, uye vaprista vanofanira kusasa munyu pamusoro pazvo vagozvibayira sezvibayiro zvinopisirwa Jehovha.
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 “Kwamazuva manomwe munofanira kuuya nenhongo zuva rimwe nerimwe chive chibayiro chechivi; uye unofanirawo kuuya nehando negondobwe rinotorwa kumakwai, parege kuva nezvazvinopomerwa zvose.
[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 Vanofanira kuyananisira aritari nokuinatsa kwamazuva manomwe vagoinatsa; naizvozvo vagoikumikidza.
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 Shure kwamazuva iwayo, kubva pazuva rorusere, vaprista vanofanira kuuya nezvibayiro zvinopiswa nezvipiriso zvokuwadzana paaritari. Ipapo ndichakugamuchirai, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.”
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.”
