< Yexesqeel 40 >
1 Sannaddii shan iyo labaatanaad ee maxaabiisnimadayada, sannadda bilowgeedii, bisha maalinteedii tobnaad, sannaddii afar iyo tobnaad markii magaalada la qabsaday dabadeed, isla maalintaas qudheeda waxaa i dul saarnayd gacantii Rabbiga, oo halkaas buu i keenay.
In the twenty-fifth year of our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month—in the fourteenth year after Jerusalem had been struck down—on that very day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and He took me there.
2 Waxyaalihii Ilaah i tusay wuxuu igu geeyey dalkii reer binu Israa'iil, oo wuxuu i saaray buur aad u dheer, taasoo dhankeeda koonfureed ay wax magaalo dhismeheed u eg ku yiilleen.
In visions of God He took me to the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain, on whose southern slope was a structure that resembled a city.
3 Oo isagu halkaasuu i geeyey, oo bal eeg, waxaa meeshaas joogay nin naxaas u eg, oo gacanta ku haysta xadhig laga sameeyey geed linen la yidhaahdo, iyo cawsduur wax lagu qiyaaso, oo iridduu soo istaagay.
So He took me there, and I saw a man whose appearance was like bronze. He was standing in the gateway with a linen cord and a measuring rod in his hand.
4 Oo ninkii wuxuu igu yidhi, Wiilka Aadamow, waxyaalaha aan ku tusi doono oo dhan indhaha ku fiiri, oo dhegaha ku maqal, oo qalbiga geli, waayo, waxaa halkan laguu keenay inaan waxyaalahan ku tuso. Oo wax alla wixii aad aragtid oo dhanba reer binu Israa'iil u sheeg.
“Son of man,” he said to me, “look with your eyes, hear with your ears, and pay attention to everything I am going to show you, for that is why you have been brought here. Report to the house of Israel everything you see.”
5 Oo bal eeg, daarta dibaddeeda oo dhan waxaa ku wareegsanaa derbi, oo ninka gacantiisana waxaa ku jiray cawsduur wax lagu qiyaaso oo dhererkiisu yahay lix dhudhun, oo dhudhun kastaaba yahay dhudhun iyo taako. Markaasuu daarta ballaadhkeedii qiyaasay oo cawsduur buu ahaa, oo sarajooggeediina wuu qiyaasay oo cawsduur buu ahaa.
And I saw a wall surrounding the temple area. Now the length of the measuring rod in the man’s hand was six long cubits (each measuring a cubit and a handbreadth), and he measured the wall to be one rod thick and one rod high.
6 Oo wuxuu yimid iriddii xagga bari u sii jeedday, oo jaranjarradeeduu fuulay, oo wuxuu qiyaasay iridda marinkeedii, oo ballaadhkiisu wuxuu ahaa cawsduur, oo iridda kale marinkeediina ballaadhkiisu wuxuu ahaa cawsduur.
Then he came to the gate facing east and climbed its steps. He measured the threshold of the gate to be one rod deep.
7 Oo qollad kastaba dhererkeedu wuxuu ahaa cawsduur, oo ballaadhkeeduna wuxuu ahaa cawsduur, oo qolladahana waxaa u dhexeeyey shan dhudhun, oo marinka iridda oo balbalada iridda u dhowayd dhankiisa guduhu wuxuu ahaa cawsduur.
Each gate chamber was one rod long and one rod wide, and there were five cubits between the gate chambers. The inner threshold of the gate by the portico facing inward was one rod deep.
8 Haddana wuxuu qiyaasay iriddii balbaladeedii oo daarta u jeedday, waxayna ahayd cawsduur.
Then he measured the portico of the gateway inside;
9 Oo haddana wuxuu qiyaasay balbaladii iridda, waxayna ahayd siddeed dhudhun, tiirarkeeduna waxay ahaayeen laba dhudhun, oo iridda balbaladeeduna daartay u jeedday.
it was eight cubits deep, and its jambs were two cubits thick. And the portico of the gateway faced the temple.
10 Oo iridda xagga bari qolladeheedana waxay ahaayeen saddex dhinac ku taal iyo saddex dhinaca kale ku taal, oo saddexdooduba isku qiyaas bay ahaayeen, oo tiirarkuna dhankan isku qiyaas bay ku lahaayeen oo dhanka kalena isku qiyaas bay ku lahaayeen.
There were three gate chambers on each side of the east gate, each with the same measurements, and the gateposts on either side also had the same measurements.
11 Oo haddana wuxuu qiyaasay kadinkii iridda ballaadhkiisii, wuxuuna ahaa toban dhudhun, oo iridda dhererkeeduna wuxuu ahaa saddex iyo toban dhudhun.
And he measured the width of the gateway entrance to be ten cubits, and its length was thirteen cubits.
12 Oo qolladaha darafkii ka horreeyey dhinaciisuna wuxuu ahaa dhudhun oo darafkii dhinaciisa kalena wuxuu ahaa dhudhun, oo qolladaha dhinacooduna wuxuu ahaa lix dhudhun oo dhinaca kalena wuxuu ahaa lix dhudhun.
In front of each gate chamber was a wall one cubit high, and the gate chambers were six cubits square.
13 Oo haddana iridda qollad saqafkeed ilaa qollad kale saqafkeed ayuu qiyaasay, oo ballaadhkuna wuxuu ahaa shan iyo labaatan dhudhun albaab ilaa albaab.
Then he measured the gateway from the roof of one gate chamber to the roof of the opposite one; the distance was twenty-five cubits from doorway to doorway.
14 Oo haddana wuxuu qiyaasay tiirarkii oo ahaa lixdan dhudhun, kuwaas oo gaadhay tiirkii barxaddii iridda ku wareegsanayd.
Next he measured the gateposts to be sixty cubits high. The gateway extended around to the gatepost of the courtyard.
15 Oo kadinka iridda laga soo galo hortiisa iyo ilaa barxadda iridda hoose inta u dhaxaysaa waxay ahayd konton dhudhun.
And the distance from the entrance of the gateway to the far end of its inner portico was fifty cubits.
16 Oo daaqado cidhiidhi ah baa ku jiray qolladaha iyo tiirarkooda iridda hoose ku wareegsan iyo meelaha dedan, oo sidaas oo kale daaqaduhu xagga gudaha way ka wareegsanaayeen, oo tiir kastana waxaa lagu xardhay geedo timireed.
The gate chambers and their side pillars had beveled windows all around the inside of the gateway. The porticos also had windows all around on the inside. Each side pillar was decorated with palm trees.
17 Markaasuu barxaddii dibadda i geeyey, oo bal eeg, waxaa ku yiil qollado iyo dhul sallax ah oo barxadda ku wareegsan loo sameeyey. Soddon qolladood ayaa dhulka sallaxa ah ku tiil.
Then he brought me into the outer court, and there were chambers and a pavement laid out all around the court. Thirty chambers faced the pavement,
18 Oo dhulka sallaxa ah oo irdaha dhinacooda ku yiil oo irdaha ka soo hor jeeday wuxuu ahaa dhulka sallaxa ah oo hoose.
which flanked the gateways and corresponded to the length of the gates; this was the lower pavement.
19 Markaasuu qiyaasay ballaadhkii iridda hoose horteeda iyo tan iyo barxadda hoose horteeda dibadda ah, xagga bari iyo xagga woqooyi, oo wuxuu ahaa boqol dhudhun.
Then he measured the distance from the front of the lower gateway to the outside of the inner court; it was a hundred cubits on the east side as well as on the north.
20 Oo barxaddii dibadda iriddeedii xagga woqooyi u sii jeeddayna wuxuu qiyaasay dhererkeedii iyo ballaadhkeediiba.
He also measured the length and width of the gateway of the outer court facing north.
21 Oo qolladaheeduna waxay ahaayeen saddex dhinac ku taal iyo saddex dhinaca kale ku taal, oo tiirarkooda iyo meelahooda dedan waxay la qiyaas ahaayeen iridda kowaad. Dhererkoodu wuxuu ahaa konton dhudhun, oo ballaadhkooduna wuxuu ahaa shan iyo labaatan dhudhun.
Its three gate chambers on each side, its side pillars, and its portico all had the same measurements as the first gate: fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
22 Oo daaqadahooda, iyo meelahooda dedan, iyo geedahooda timireedba waxay la qiyaas wada ahaayeen qiyaastii iriddii xagga bari u sii jeedday, oo waxaa loo fuulay jaranjarro toddoba tallaabo ah, oo meelahooda dedanna way ku hor yiilleen.
Its windows, portico, and palm trees had the same measurements as those of the gate facing east. Seven steps led up to it, with its portico opposite them.
23 Oo barxadda hoose iriddeeduna waxay ka soo hor jeedday iriddii kale oo xagga woqooyi iyo xagga bari jirtay, oo irid ilaa iridda kale ayuu qiyaasay, waxayna ahayd boqol dhudhun.
There was a gate to the inner court facing the north gate, just as there was on the east. He measured the distance from gateway to gateway to be a hundred cubits.
24 Oo haddana wuxuu i geeyey xaggii koonfureed, oo bal eeg, waxaa ku tiil irid xagga koonfureed u sii jeedda, oo tiirarkeedii iyo meelaheedii dednaa wuxuu u qiyaasay sidii ay qiyaastaasu ahayd oo kale.
Then he led me to the south side, and I saw a gateway facing south. He measured its side pillars and portico, and they had the same measurements as the others.
25 Oo iyada iyo meelaheeda dedan oo ku wareegsanuba waxay lahaayeen daaqado, oo waxay u ekaayeen daaqadahaas kale; dhererku wuxuu ahaa konton dhudhun oo ballaadhkuna wuxuu ahaa shan iyo labaatan dhudhun.
Both the gateway and its portico had windows all around, like the other windows. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
26 Oo waxay lahayd jaranjarro toddoba tallaabo ah oo loo fuulo, oo meelahooda dedanna way ku hor yiilleen, oo waxay lahayd geedo timireed oo mid dhinacan kaga yaal, midna dhinacaas kaga yaal, oo tiirarkeeda ku xardhan.
Seven steps led up to it, and its portico was opposite them; it had palm trees on its side pillars, one on each side.
27 Oo barxadda hoosena waxaa ku dhex yiil irid xagga koonfureed u sii jeedday, oo irid ilaa iriddeeda kale ayuu xagga koonfureed u qiyaasay, waxayna ahayd boqol dhudhun.
The inner court also had a gate facing south, and he measured the distance from gateway to gateway toward the south to be a hundred cubits.
28 Markaasuu barxaddii hoose oo iridda koonfureed ku ag tiil i geeyey, oo iriddii koonfureedna sida qiyaastaas oo kaluu u qiyaasay.
Next he brought me into the inner court through the south gate, and he measured the south gate; it had the same measurements as the others.
29 Oo qolladaheedii, iyo tiirarkeedii, iyo meelaheedii dednaaba sidaas oo kaluu u qiyaasay, oo iyada, iyo meelaheeda dedan oo ku wareegsanuba waxay lahaayeen daaqado, oo dhererkeedu wuxuu ahaa konton dhudhun oo ballaadhkeeduna wuxuu ahaa shan iyo labaatan dhudhun.
Its gate chambers, side pillars, and portico had the same measurements as the others. Both the gateway and its portico had windows all around; it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
30 Oo meelaha dedan oo ku wareegsan dhererkoodu wuxuu ahaa labaatan dhudhun, ballaadhkooduna wuxuu ahaa shan dhudhun.
(The porticoes around the inner court were twenty-five cubits long and five cubits deep.)
31 Oo meelaheeda dedanu waxay u sii jeedeen xagga barxadda dibadda ah, oo tiirarkeedana waxaa ku xardhanaa geedo timireed, oo jaranjarrada loo fuulaana waxay lahayd siddeed tallaabo.
Its portico faced the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees. Eight steps led up to it.
32 Oo haddana wuxuu i dhex geeyey barxaddii hoose oo xagga bari u sii jeedday, oo iriddiina wuxuu u qiyaasay sidii qiyaastaas oo kale.
And he brought me to the inner court on the east side, and he measured the gateway; it had the same measurements as the others.
33 Oo qolladaheedii, iyo tiirarkeedii, iyo meelaheedii dednaaba waxay wada lahaayeen qiyaastaas oo kale, oo iyada iyo meelaheedii dednaa oo ku wareegsanuba waxay lahaayeen daaqado, oo dhererkeedu wuxuu ahaa konton dhudhun, oo ballaadhkeeduna wuxuu ahaa shan iyo labaatan dhudhun.
Its gate chambers, side pillars, and portico had the same measurements as the others. Both the gateway and its portico had windows all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
34 Oo meelaheeda dedanuna waxay u sii jeedeen barxadda dibadda xaggeeda, oo tiirarkana waxaa ku xardhanaa geedo timireed oo dhinacan iyo dhinacaasba kaga yaal, oo jaranjarrada loo fuulaana waxay lahayd siddeed tallaabo.
Its portico faced the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees on each side. Eight steps led up to it.
35 Markaasuu iriddii woqooyi i geeyey, oo sidaas oo kaluu u qiyaasay
Then he brought me to the north gate and measured it. It had the same measurements as the others,
36 qolladaheeda, iyo tiirarkeeda, iyo meelaheeda dedan, oo waxay lahayd daaqado ku wareegsan, oo dhererku wuxuu ahaa konton dhudhun, oo ballaadhkuna wuxuu ahaa shan iyo labaatan dhudhun.
as did its gate chambers, side pillars, and portico. It also had windows all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
37 Oo tiirarkeedu waxay u sii jeedeen barxadda dibadda xaggeeda, oo geedo timireed ayaa tiirarkiisa dhinacan iyo dhinacaasba kaga xardhanaa, oo jaranjarrada loo fuulaana waxay lahayd siddeed tallaabo.
Its portico faced the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees on each side. Eight steps led up to it.
38 Oo waxaa jirtay qollad albaabkeedu ku ag yiil tiirarka irdaha, oo halkaasaa qurbaanka la gubo lagu maydhay.
There was a chamber with a doorway by the portico in each of the inner gateways. There the burnt offering was to be washed.
39 Oo balbalada iridda dhinaceedan waxaa yiil laba miis, oo dhinaceedaasna waxaa yiil laba miis, si korkooda loogu gowraco qurbaanka la gubo, iyo qurbaanka dembiga, iyo qurbaanka xadgudubka.
Inside the portico of the gateway were two tables on each side, on which the burnt offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings were to be slaughtered.
40 Oo dhanka dibadda ah ee kadinka iridda woqooyi loo maro waxaa yiil laba miis, oo dhanka kale oo balbalada iridda u dhowna waxaa yiil laba miis oo kale.
Outside, as one goes up to the entrance of the north gateway, there were two tables on one side and two more tables on the other side of the gate’s portico.
41 Iridda dhinacan waxaa yiil afar miis, oo dhinacaasna waxaa yiil afar miis oo kale, kuwaasoo ahaa siddeed miis oo allabaryada lagu dul gowracay.
So there were four tables inside the gateway and four outside—eight tables in all—on which the sacrifices were to be slaughtered.
42 Oo waxaa jiray afar miis oo dhagax la qoray laga sameeyey oo allabariga la gubo lagu dul diyaariyo, oo dhererkoodu wuxuu ahaa dhudhun iyo badh, ballaadhkooduna wuxuu ahaa dhudhun iyo badh, sarajooggooduna wuxuu ahaa dhudhun, oo korkoodana waxaa la saari jiray alaabta qurbaanka la gubo iyo allabariga lagu qalo.
There were also four tables of dressed stone for the burnt offering, each a cubit and a half long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit high. On these were placed the utensils used to slaughter the burnt offerings and the other sacrifices.
43 Oo waxaa gudaha ugu xidhnaa qabatooyin ballaadhkoodu taako yahay oo hareerahooda oo dhan kaga wareegsan, oo miisaskii korkoodana waxaa saarnaa hilibkii qurbaanka.
The double-pronged hooks, each a handbreadth long, were fastened all around the inside of the room, and the flesh of the offering was to be placed on the tables.
44 Oo iridda hoose dibaddeedana waxaa ku yiil qolladihii kuwa gabya oo barxadda hoose ku yiil, oo mid waxay ku ag tiil iridda woqooyi oo waxay u sii jeedday xagga koonfureed, oo tanna waxay ag tiil iridda bari oo waxay u sii jeedday xagga woqooyi.
Outside the inner gate, within the inner court, were two chambers, one beside the north gate and facing south, and another beside the south gate and facing north.
45 Oo wuxuu igu yidhi, Qolladdan xagga koonfureed u sii jeedda waxaa iska leh wadaaddada daarta taladeeda haya.
Then the man said to me: “The chamber that faces south is for the priests who keep charge of the temple,
46 Oo qowladda xagga woqooyi u sii jeeddana waxaa iska leh wadaaddada meesha allabariga taladeeda haya, oo kuwaasu waa reer Saadooq oo reer Laawi ka mid ah, oo Rabbiga ugu soo dhowaada inay isaga u adeegaan.
and the chamber that faces north is for the priests who keep charge of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, the only Levites who may approach the LORD to minister before Him.”
47 Oo haddana wuxuu qiyaasay barxaddii oo dhererkeedu yahay boqol dhudhun, oo ballaadhkeeduna yahay boqol dhudhun, oo afar gees ah, oo meeshii allabariguna daartay ka horraysay.
Next he measured the court. It was square, a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide. And the altar was in front of the temple.
48 Markaasuu balbaladii daarta i geeyey, oo wuxuu qiyaasay balbalada tiirarkeedii, oo dhinacan wuxuu ahaa shan dhudhun, dhinacaasna wuxuu ahaa shan dhudhun; oo iridda ballaadhkeeduna wuxuu ahaa saddex dhudhun oo dhinacan ah iyo saddex dhudhun oo dhinacaas ah.
Then he brought me to the portico of the temple and measured the side pillars of the portico to be five cubits on each side. The width of the gateway was fourteen cubits and its sidewalls were three cubits on either side.
49 Oo balbalada dhererkeedu wuxuu ahaa labaatan dhudhun, oo ballaadhkeeduna wuxuu ahaa kow iyo toban dhudhun, oo jaranjarro baa loogu fuuli jiray, oo tiirarka waxaa ku ag yiil tiirar waaweyn, mid dhinacan kaga yaal, midka kalena dhinacaas kaga yaal.
The portico was twenty cubits wide and twelve cubits deep, and ten steps led up to it. There were columns by the side pillars, one on each side.
