Ezekieli 41
1 Kisha yule mtu akanileta katika sehemu ya nje ya patakatifu, naye akaipima miimo; upana wake ulikuwa dhiraa sita kila upande.
He took me to the Temple and measured the posts as cubits wide on both sides.
2 Ingilio lilikuwa la upana wa dhiraa kumi na kuta zilizojitokeza kila upande zilikuwa na upana wa dhiraa tano. Pia akapima sehemu ya nje ya patakatifu, nayo ilikuwa na urefu wa dhiraa arobaini na upana wa dhiraa ishirini.
The entrance was ten cubits wide, and the sides of the entrance were five cubits long on both sides. He measured the outer sanctuary as forty cubits long and twenty cubits wide.
3 Kisha akaingia sehemu takatifu ndani ya Hekalu na kupima miimo ya ingilio, kila mmoja ulikuwa na upana wa dhiraa mbili. Ingilio lilikuwa na upana wa dhiraa sita, na kuta zilizotokeza kila upande zilikuwa na upana wa dhiraa saba.
He went into the inner sanctuary and measured the entrance posts as two cubits wide. The entrance was six cubits wide, and the walls on both sides were seven cubits wide.
4 Naye akapima urefu wa sehemu takatifu ndani, nao ulikuwa dhiraa ishirini, na upana wake ulikuwa dhiraa ishirini hadi mwisho wa sehemu ya nje ya sehemu takatifu. Akaniambia, “Hapa ndipo Patakatifu pa Patakatifu.”
He measured the room beside the inner sanctuary as twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. He told me, “This is the Most Holy Place.”
5 Kisha akapima ukuta wa Hekalu, nao ulikuwa na unene wa dhiraa sita, na kila chumba cha pembeni kuzunguka Hekalu kilikuwa na upana wa dhiraa nne.
He measured Temple wall as six cubits thick, and each side room around the Temple was four cubits wide.
6 Vyumba vya pembeni vilikuwa na ghorofa tatu, kimoja juu ya kingine, kila ghorofa ilikuwa na vyumba thelathini. Kulikuwa na boriti katika ukuta wote wa Hekalu ili kuimarisha vyumba vya pembeni, kwa hiyo boriti hizo hazikushikamanishwa kwenye ukuta wa Hekalu.
There were three levels of side rooms above one another, each having thirty rooms. The wall of the Temple had external supports for the side rooms, so that they would not be fixed into the wall of the Temple itself.
7 Vyumba vya pembeni vilivyozunguka Hekalu vilizidi kupanuka kulingana na sakafu zilivyokwenda juu. Ujenzi uliozunguka Hekalu ulijengwa kukwea juu, kwa hiyo vyumba vilipanuka kwa kadiri ya kila kimoja kilivyokwenda juu. Ngazi za kupandia zilianzia sakafu ya chini hadi sakafu ya juu kabisa kwa kupitia sakafu ya kati.
The side rooms around the Temple became wider at each higher level, because as the structure around the Temple went up the Temple wall grew narrower A stairway provided access from the bottom story to the top, going through the middle level.
8 Nikaona pia kuwa Hekalu lilikuwa na kitako kilichoinuliwa pande zote, huu ulikuwa ndio msingi wa vile vyumba vya pembeni ambao ulikuwa na urefu wa ule ufito mmoja wa kupimia, yaani, dhiraa ndefu sita.
I saw that the Temple was on a raised platform that surrounded it. This was the foundation for the side rooms. Its height was the complete length of a measuring rod, six long cubits.
9 Ukuta wa nje wa vyumba vya pembeni ulikuwa na unene wa dhiraa tano. Eneo la wazi katikati ya vyumba vya pembeni vya Hekalu
The thickness of the outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits, and there was open space between the side rooms of the Temple
10 na vyumba vya makuhani lilikuwa na upana wa dhiraa ishirini kuzunguka Hekalu pande zote.
and the outer chambers that measured twenty cubits wide all round the Temple.
11 Kulikuwa na maingilio kwenye vyumba vya pembeni kutokea eneo lililo wazi, moja upande wa kaskazini na lingine upande wa kusini, nao msingi uliounganisha lile eneo la wazi ulikuwa na upana wa dhiraa tano ukilizunguka lote.
The doors of the side rooms opened into this area, with one entrance to the north and another one to the south. The open space was five cubits wide on each side.
12 Jengo lililoelekeana na ua wa Hekalu upande wa magharibi lilikuwa na upana wa dhiraa sabini. Ukuta wa jengo hilo ulikuwa na unene wa dhiraa tano, kulizunguka lote, urefu ulikuwa wa dhiraa tisini.
Another building faced the Temple courtyard on the west side. It measured seventy cubits wide and ninety cubits long, with walls all the way round that were five cubits thick.
13 Kisha akapima Hekalu, lilikuwa na urefu wa dhiraa mia moja na ua wa Hekalu na jengo pamoja na kuta zake vilikuwa na urefu wa dhiraa mia moja pia.
He measured the Temple as one hundred cubits long. The Temple courtyard and the building including its walls were also one hundred cubits long.
14 Upana wa ua wa Hekalu upande wa mashariki, pamoja na upande wa mbele wa Hekalu ulikuwa dhiraa mia moja.
The Temple courtyard on the east side, (including the front of the Temple), was one hundred cubits wide.
15 Kisha akapima urefu wa jengo linaloelekeana na ua upande wa nyuma wa Hekalu, pamoja na vyumba vyake kila upande, ilikuwa dhiraa mia moja. Sehemu takatifu ya nje, sehemu takatifu ya ndani, pamoja na baraza inayoelekeana na ukumbi,
He measured the length of the building that faced the Temple courtyard towards the rear of the Temple, including its open halls on each side. It was one hundred cubits long. The outer sanctuary, the inner sanctuary, and the porches facing the courtyard,
16 pamoja na vizingiti, madirisha membamba na vyumba vyote vitatu, kila kimoja pamoja na kizingiti vilifunikwa kwa mbao. Sakafu, ukuta mpaka kwenye madirisha na madirisha yenyewe vilifunikwa kwa mbao.
as well as the thresholds and the narrow windows and the surrounding open halls with their three levels up to and including the threshold, were covered with wood on every side. This extended from the ground up to and including the windows.
17 Katika nafasi iliyokuwa juu ya upande wa nje wa ingilio la sehemu takatifu ya ndani, na katika kuta zilizozunguka sehemu takatifu ya ndani na sehemu takatifu ya nje, kwa nafasi zilizo sawa,
On the outside of all the walls by the entrance to the inner sanctuary, spaced at regular intervals around the inner and outer sanctuary,
18 kulinakshiwa makerubi na miti ya mitende. Miti ya mitende ilikuwa kati ya kerubi na kerubi. Kila kerubi alikuwa na nyuso mbili:
were carved designs of cherubim and palm trees. Every cherub had two faces:
19 upande mmoja uso wa mwanadamu kuelekea mti wa mtende na upande mwingine uso wa simba ukielekea mti mwingine wa mtende. Ilinakshiwa kuzunguka Hekalu lote.
a man's face looked in the direction of a palm tree on one side, and the face of a young lion looked in the direction of the palm tree on the other side. These carvings extended the whole way round the Temple.
20 Kuanzia sakafu mpaka eneo lililo juu ya ingilio, palinakshiwa makerubi na miti ya mitende pamoja na kwenye ukuta wa nje wa patakatifu.
Designs of cherubim and palm trees were carved on the Temple wall from the floor up to the space above the doorway.
21 Mahali patakatifu pa nje palikuwa na miimo ya mlango uliokuwa mraba na ule uliokuwa katika Patakatifu Pa Patakatifu ulikuwa unafanana na huo mwingine.
The Temple's doorframe was rectangular, as was the doorframe of the sanctuary.
22 Kulikuwa na madhabahu ya mbao kimo chake dhiraa tatu na ilikuwa dhiraa mbili mraba pande zote, tako lake na pande zake zilikuwa za mbao. Yule mtu akaniambia, “Hii ni meza ambayo iko mbele za Bwana.”
An altar made of wood stood there, three cubits high and two cubits by long. All of it—its corners, base, and sides—were made of wood. The man told me, “This is the table that stands before the Lord.”
23 Mahali patakatifu pa nje na Patakatifu Pa Patakatifu zilikuwa na milango miwili.
The Temple and the sanctuary both had hinged double doors.
24 Kila mlango ulikuwa na vipande viwili, vipande viwili vilivyoshikwa na bawaba vyenye kufunguka kwa kila mlango.
Each door had two panels that opened. There were two panels for one door, and two panels for the other door.
25 Juu ya hiyo milango ya Patakatifu palinakshiwa makerubi na miti ya mitende kama yale yaliyonakshiwa kwenye kuta, na kulikuwa na ubao ulioningʼinia mbele ya baraza kwa nje.
There were carvings of cherubim and palm trees on the Temple doors like those on the walls, and there was a wooden roof that covered the outside part of the porch at the front.
26 Katika kuta za pembeni za ukumbi kulikuwa na madirisha membamba yaliyonakshiwa miti ya mitende kila upande. Vyumba vya pembeni vya Hekalu pia vilikuwa vimefunikwa kwa mbao.
There were narrow windows and palm tree designs on the walls of the porch. The side rooms of the Temple also had roofs.
