Yexesqeel 44
1 Markaasuu dib igu soo celiyey iriddii dibadda ee meesha quduuska ah oo xagga bari u sii jeedday, oo way xidhnayd.
The man then brought me back to the outer gate of the sanctuary that faced east, but it was shut.
2 Kolkaasaa Rabbigu igu yidhi, Albaabkanu waa xidhnaanayaa, oo lama furi doono, oo ciduna kama soo geli doonto, waayo, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil baa ka galay, oo sidaas daraaddeed buu u xidhnaanayaa.
And the LORD said to me, “This gate is to remain shut. It shall not be opened, and no man shall enter through it, because the LORD, the God of Israel, has entered through it. Therefore it will remain shut.
3 Xagga amiirka amiir ahaan buu ugu fadhiisan doonaa oo Rabbiga hortiisa kibis ugu cuni doonaa. Wuxuu ka soo geli doonaa jidka balbalada ee iridda, oo isla jidkaas ayuu ka bixi doonaa.
Only the prince himself may sit inside the gateway to eat in the presence of the LORD. He must enter by way of the portico of the gateway and go out the same way.”
4 Markaasuu i keenay jidkii iridda woqooyi ee daarta ku hor yiil, oo waan fiiriyey oo bal eeg, sharaftii Rabbiga ayaa daartii Rabbiga ka buuxsantay, oo aniguna wejigaan u dhacay.
Then the man brought me to the front of the temple by way of the north gate. I looked and saw the glory of the LORD filling His temple, and I fell facedown.
5 Markaasaa Rabbigu igu yidhi, Wiilka Aadamow, aad u fiirso, oo bal indhaha ku arag, oo bal dhegaha ku maqal waxa aan kugu leeyahay ee ku saabsan qaynuunnada daarta Rabbiga oo dhan, iyo sharciyadeeda oo dhan, oo aad u fiirso daarta iridda laga soo galo, iyo meesha quduuska ah meelaheeda laga baxo oo dhan.
The LORD said to me: “Son of man, pay attention; look carefully with your eyes and listen closely with your ears to everything I tell you concerning all the statutes and laws of the house of the LORD. Take careful note of the entrance to the temple, along with all the exits of the sanctuary.
6 Oo waxaad caasiyiinta reer binu Israa'iil ah ku tidhaahdaa, Reer binu Israa'iilow, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Waxyaalihiinnii karaahiyada ahaa ee hore ha idinku filnaadeen,
Tell the rebellious house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I have had enough of all your abominations, O house of Israel.
7 waayo, meeshayda quduuska ah waxaad soo geliseen shisheeyayaal aan qalbiga ka gudnayn, oo aan jidhka ka gudnaynba inay soo galaan, oo ay nijaaseeyaan xataa daartayda markaad bixinaysaan cuntadayda ah baruurta iyo dhiigga, oo axdigaygii baad ku jebiseen waxyaalihiinnii karaahiyada ahaa oo dhan.
In addition to all your other abominations, you brought in foreigners uncircumcised in both heart and flesh to occupy My sanctuary; you defiled My temple when you offered My food—the fat and the blood; you broke My covenant.
8 Oo idinku ma aydaan dhawrin adeegiddii waxyaalahayga quduuska ah, laakiinse waxaad meeshayda quduuska ah dhigateen kuwo adeegidda idiin dhawra.
And you have not kept charge of My holy things, but have appointed others to keep charge of My sanctuary for you.’
9 Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Shisheeyaha reer binu Israa'iil ku dhex jira oo ah shisheeye aan qalbiga ka gudnayn oo aan jidhka ka gudnayn toona waa inuusan meeshayda quduuska ah gelin.
This is what the Lord GOD says: No foreigner uncircumcised in heart and flesh may enter My sanctuary—not even a foreigner who lives among the Israelites.
10 Oo markay reer binu Israa'iil baadiyoobeen kuwii reer Laawi oo iga fogaaday, oo intay iga fogaadeen sanamyadoodii ka daba galay, waxay sidan doonaan xumaantooda.
Surely the Levites who wandered away from Me when Israel went astray, and who wandered away from Me after their idols, will bear the consequences of their iniquity.
11 Laakiinse iyagu waxay ka dhex adeegi doonaan meeshayda quduuska ah, iyagoo daarta irdaheeda u taliya, oo daarta ka adeegaya, oo waxay dadka u gowraci doonaan qurbaanka la gubo iyo allabariga, oo hortooday u istaagi doonaan inay iyaga u adeegaan.
Yet they shall be ministers in My sanctuary, having charge of the gates of the temple and ministering there. They shall slaughter the burnt offerings and other sacrifices for the people and stand before them to minister to them.
12 Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Waxay iyaga ugu hor adeegeen sanamyadooda, oo waxay reer binu Israa'iil u noqdeen xumaan ay ku turunturoodaan, sidaas daraaddeed ayaan gacantayda ugu qaaday, oo waxay sidan doonaan xumaantoodii.
Because they ministered before their idols and became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I swore with an uplifted hand concerning them that they would bear the consequences of their iniquity, declares the Lord GOD.
13 Oo iyagu iima ay soo dhowaan doonaan inay ii sameeyaan shuqulkii wadaadnimada, oo waxyaalahayga quduuska ahna uma ay soo dhowaan doonaan kuwaasoo ah waxyaalaha ugu quduusan, laakiinse iyagaa sidan doona ceebtoodii iyo waxyaalahoodii karaahiyada ahaa ee ay sameeyeen.
They must not approach Me to serve Me as priests or come near any of My holy things or the most holy things. They will bear the shame of the abominations they have committed.
14 Laakiinse waxaan iyaga ka dhigi doonaa kuwo daarta taladeeda haya, oo sameeya hawsheeda oo dhan, iyo waxa gudaheeda lagu samayn doono oo dhan.
Yet I will appoint them to keep charge of all the work for the temple and everything to be done in it.
15 Laakiinse Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Wadaaddadii reer Laawi oo ah farcankii Saadooq oo adeegiddii meeshayda quduuska ah xajiyey markay reer binu Israa'iil iga baadiyoobeen, iyagu way ii soo dhowaan doonaan inay ii adeegaan aawadeed, oo hortayday u soo istaagi doonaan inay baruurta iyo dhiigga ii soo bixiyaan.
But the Levitical priests, who are descended from Zadok and who kept charge of My sanctuary when the Israelites went astray from Me, are to approach Me to minister before Me. They will stand before Me to offer Me fat and blood, declares the Lord GOD.
16 Meeshayda quduuska ah way soo geli doonaan, oo miiskayga way ugu soo dhowaan doonaan inay ii adeegaan, oo adeegiddaydana way xajin doonaan.
They alone shall enter My sanctuary and draw near to My table to minister before Me. They will keep My charge.
17 Oo markay irdaha barxadda gudaha soo galaan waa inay dhar linen ah xidhaan, oo intay irdaha barxadda gudaha iyo daarta gudaheeda ka adeegayaan waa inaan wax dhogor ahu korkooda taaban.
When they enter the gates of the inner court, they are to wear linen garments; they must not wear anything made of wool when they minister at the gates of the inner court or inside the temple.
18 Waa inay madaxa ku duubtaan cimaamado linen ah, oo dhexdana waa inay surwaallo linen ah ku xidhaan, oo innaba waa inayan wax ka dhididiya guntaan.
They are to wear linen turbans on their heads and linen undergarments around their waists. They must not wear anything that makes them perspire.
19 Oo markay barxadda dibadda u soo baxaan taasoo ah barxadda dibadda ee uu dadku joogo waa inay dharkii ay ku adeegeen iska bixiyaan, oo waa inay qolladaha quduuska ah dhigaan, oo waa inay dhar kale gashadaan si ayan dadka kale dharkooda quduus ugaga dhigin.
When they go out to the outer court, to the people, they are to take off the garments in which they have ministered, leave them in the holy chambers, and dress in other clothes so that they do not transmit holiness to the people with their garments.
20 Oo waa inayan madaxooda xiirin ama ayan timahoodu inay dheeraadaan u oggolaan, waase inay timahooda jaraan.
They must not shave their heads or let their hair grow long, but must carefully trim their hair.
21 Oo markay barxadda gudaha soo galaanna wadaadna waa inuusan innaba khamri cabbin.
No priest may drink wine before he enters the inner court.
22 Oo waa inayan guursan carmal laga dhintay ama la furay, laakiinse waa inay guursadaan bikrado reer binu Israa'iil farcankooda ah amase carmal wadaad qabi jiray.
And they shall not marry a widow or a divorced woman, but must marry a virgin of the descendants of the house of Israel, or a widow of a priest.
23 Oo waa inay dadkayga baraan waxa quduuska ah iyo waxa aan quduuska ahayn waxay ku kala duwan yihiin, oo waxay ka dhigi doonaan inay kala gartaan waxa nijaasta ah iyo waxa nadiifta ah.
They are to teach My people the difference between the holy and the common, and show them how to discern between the clean and the unclean.
24 Oo markay dacwo timaadona waa inay garsoorid u istaagaan, oo waa inay si xukummadayda waafaqsan wax u xukumaan, oo iidahayga oo dhanna waa inay sharciyadayda iyo qaynuunnadaydaba ku dhawraan, oo sabtiyadaydana waa inay quduus ka dhigaan.
In any dispute, they shall officiate as judges and judge according to My ordinances. They must keep My laws and statutes regarding all My appointed feasts, and they must keep My Sabbaths holy.
25 Oo waa inayan qof meyd ah u dhowaan si ayan isu nijaasayn, laakiinse waxay keliyahoo isu nijaasayn karaan aabbe daraaddiis, ama hooyo daraaddeed, ama wiil, ama gabadh, ama walaal, amase gabadh walaashood ah oo aan nin lahayn.
A priest must not defile himself by going near a dead person. However, for a father, a mother, a son, a daughter, a brother, or an unmarried sister, he may do so,
26 Oo markii la nadiifiyo dabadeed waa inay toddoba maalmood u tiriyaan.
and after he is cleansed, he must count off seven days for himself.
27 Oo Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Maalintii uu meesha quduuska ah iyo barxadda gudaha ah galo, si uu meesha quduuska ah uga dhex adeego aawadeed, waa inuu qurbaankiisii dembiga bixiyaa.
And on the day he goes into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he must present his sin offering, declares the Lord GOD.
28 Oo dhaxalkay heli doonaan waa aniga. Anigaa ah dhaxalkoodii, oo waa inaydaan innaba dalka reer binu Israa'iil hanti ku siin, waayo, anigaa ah hantidoodii.
In regard to their inheritance, I am their inheritance. You are to give them no possession in Israel, for I am their possession.
29 Oo iyagu waxay iska cuni doonaan qurbaanka hadhuudhka, iyo qurbaanka dembiga, iyo qurbaanka xadgudubka, oo wax kasta oo ay reer binu Israa'iil nidraanba iyagaa iska lahaan doona.
They shall eat the grain offerings, the sin offerings, and the guilt offerings. Everything in Israel devoted to the LORD will belong to them.
30 Oo wax kasta oo midhaha ugu horreeya cayn kastaba, iyo qurbaannadiinna oo dhan cayn kasta oo ay yihiinba waxaa iska leh wadaaddada. Oo cajiinkiinna cadka ugu horreeyana waa inaad wadaadka siisaan si ay barako reerkiinna ugu soo degto.
The best of all the firstfruits and of every contribution from all your offerings will belong to the priests. You are to give your first batch of dough to the priest, so that a blessing may rest upon your homes.
31 Wadaaddadu waa inayan wax iska bakhtiyey, ama wax bahal dilay haad iyo dugaag midu yahayba cunin.
The priests may not eat any bird or animal found dead or torn by wild beasts.
