Ezekieli 42
1 Ndipo yule mtu akaniongoza kuelekea kaskazini mpaka kwenye ua wa nje na kunileta mpaka kwenye vyumba vinavyoelekeana na ua wa Hekalu na kuelekeana na ukuta wa nje upande wa kaskazini.
Then brought hee me into the vtter court by the way towarde the North, and he brought me into the chamber that was ouer against the separate place, and which was before the building toward the North.
2 Jengo ambalo mlango wake ulielekea kaskazini lilikuwa na urefu wa dhiraa mia moja na upana wa dhiraa hamsini.
Before ye length of an hundreth cubites, was the North doore, and it was fiftie cubites broad.
3 Mbele ya zile dhiraa ishirini za ule ua wa ndani unaoelekeana na ile njia ya ua wa nje, kuliinuka vyumba virefu kimoja baada ya kingine vya ghorofa tatu.
Ouer against the twentie cubites which were for the inner court, and ouer against the pauement, which was for the vtter court, was chamber against chamber in three rowes.
4 Mbele ya hivi vyumba kulikuwa na njia ya ndani yenye upana wa dhiraa kumi na urefu wa dhiraa mia moja. Milango yake ilikuwa upande wa kaskazini.
And before the chambers was a gallery of ten cubites wide, and within was a way of one cubite, and their doores towarde the North.
5 Basi vyumba vya juu vilikuwa vyembamba zaidi, kwa kuwa ujia ulichukua nafasi zaidi ndani yake kuliko katika vyumba vya sakafu ya chini na vya katikati ya jengo.
Nowe the chambers aboue were narower: for those chambers seemed to eate vp these, to wit, the lower, and those that were in the middes of the building.
6 Vyumba katika ghorofa ya tatu havikuwa na nguzo, kama kumbi zilivyokuwa nazo, kwa hiyo eneo la sakafu ya vyumba vya juu lilikuwa ni dogo kuliko la sakafu ya chini na ya kati.
For they were in three rowes, but had not pillars as the pillars of the court: therefore there was a difference from them beneath and from the middlemost, euen from the ground.
7 Kulikuwa na ukuta wa nje uliokuwa sambamba na vile vyumba na ukumbi wa nje, ulitokeza urefu wa dhiraa hamsini.
And the wall that was without ouer against the chambers, toward the vtter court on the forefront of the chambers, was fiftie cubites long.
8 Wakati safu ya vyumba katika ua wa nje vilikuwa na urefu wa dhiraa hamsini, vile vyumba vilivyokuwa karibu zaidi na Hekalu vilikuwa na urefu wa dhiraa mia moja.
For the length of the chambers that were in the vtter court, was fiftie cubites: and loe, before the Temple were an hundreth cubites.
9 Vyumba vya chini vilikuwa na ingilio upande wa mashariki unapoingia kutoka ukumbi wa nje.
And vnder these chambers was the entrie, on the East side, as one goeth into them from the outward court.
10 Upande wa kusini kufuata urefu wa ukuta wa ukumbi wa nje, unaopakana na ukumbi wa Hekalu na kuelekeana na ukuta wa nje, kulikuwa na vyumba
The chambers were in the thicknesse of the wall of the court towarde the East, ouer against the separate place, and ouer against the building.
11 vyenye ujia unayopita mbele yake. Hivi vilifanana na vile vyumba vya upande wa kaskazini, vilikuwa na urefu na upana ulio sawa, mahali pa kutokea na vipimo vyake vilikuwa sawa. Kama ilivyokuwa milango ya upande wa kaskazini,
And the way before them was after ye maner of the chambers, which were toward ye North, as long as they, and as broad as they: and all their entries were like, both according to their facions, and according to their doores.
12 ndivyo ilivyokuwa milango ya vyumba vya upande wa kusini. Kulikuwa na ingilio kuanzia mwanzo wa njia ambao ulikuwa sambamba na ukuta wa pili uliokuwa upande wa mashariki, ambako ndiko kwa kuingia vyumbani.
And according to ye doores of ye chambers that were towarde the South, was a doore in the corner of the way, euen the way directly before the wall toward the East, as one entreth.
13 Kisha akaniambia, “Vyumba vya upande wa kaskazini na vya upande wa kusini ambavyo vinaelekeana na ukumbi wa Hekalu ni vyumba vya makuhani, mahali ambapo wale makuhani ambao humkaribia Bwana watakula zile sadaka takatifu sana. Huko ndiko watakakoweka zile sadaka takatifu sana, yaani, sadaka za nafaka, sadaka za dhambi na sadaka za hatia, kwa kuwa mahali ni patakatifu.
The said he vnto me, The North chambers and ye South chambers which are before ye separate place, they be holy chambers, wherein the Priests that approch vnto ye Lord, shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meate offering, and the sinne offering, and the trespasse offring: for the place is holy.
14 Mara makuhani waingiapo mahali patakatifu, hawaruhusiwi kwenda kwenye ukumbi wa nje mpaka wayaache mavazi ambayo walivaa wakiwa wanahudumu, kwa kuwa hayo mavazi ni matakatifu. Inawapasa kuvaa mavazi mengine kabla hawajakaribia eneo lililo wazi kwa ajili ya watu.”
When the Priestes enter therein, they shall not go out of the holy place into the vtter court, but there they shall lay their garmentes wherein they minister: for they are holy, and shall put on other garmentes, and so shall approch to those things, which are for the people.
15 Alipomaliza kupima vile vilivyokuwa katika eneo la ndani la Hekalu, akanitoa nje kupitia lango la upande wa mashariki na kupima eneo lote linalozunguka:
Nowe when he had made an ende of measuring the inner house, he brought mee forth toward the gate whose prospect is towarde the East, and measured it round about.
16 Akapima upande wa mashariki kwa ule ufito wa kupimia, nao ulikuwa dhiraa 500
He measured the East side with the measuring rod, fiue hundreth reedes, euen with the measuring reede round about.
17 Akapima upande wa kaskazini, nao ulikuwa dhiraa 500 kwa ufito ule wa kupimia.
He measured also the Northside, fiue hundreth reedes, euen with the measuring reede rounde about.
18 Tena akapima upande wa kusini, nao ulikuwa dhiraa 500 kwa ufito ule wa kupimia.
And he measured the South side fiue hundreth reedes with the measuring reede.
19 Kisha akageukia upande wa magharibi na kuupima, ulikuwa dhiraa 500 kwa ufito ule wa kupimia.
He turned about also to the West side, and measured fiue hundreth reedes with the measuring reede.
20 Hivyo akapima eneo katika pande zote nne. Lilikuwa na ukuta kulizunguka wenye urefu wa dhiraa 500 na upana wa dhiraa 500, uliotenganisha mahali Patakatifu na eneo la watu wote.
He measured it by the foure sides: it had a wall round about, fiue hundreth reedes long, and fiue hundreth broade to make a separation betweene the Sanctuarie, and the prophane place.
