Ezekieli 46
1 “‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Lango la ukumbi wa ndani linaloelekea upande wa mashariki litakuwa linafungwa kwa siku sita za juma, ila siku ya Sabato na siku ya Mwezi Mwandamo litafunguliwa.
Thus sayth the Lord God, The gate of the inner court, that turneth toward the East, shall be shut the sixe working dayes: but on the Sabbath it shalbe opened, and in the day of the newe moone it shalbe opened.
2 Mkuu anayetawala ataingia kupitia baraza ya njia ya lango la ukumbi na kusimama karibu na nguzo ya lango. Makuhani watatoa sadaka za mkuu anayetawala za kuteketezwa na sadaka za amani. Mkuu anayetawala atasujudu kwenye kizingiti cha njia ya lango, kisha atatoka nje, lakini lango halitafungwa mpaka jioni.
And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate without, and shall stande by the post of the gate, and the Priests shall make his burnt offring, and his peace offrings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate: after, he shall go foorth, but the gate shall not be shut till the euening.
3 Siku za Sabato na za Mwezi mwandamo watu wote wa nchi wataabudu mbele za Bwana penye lile ingilio la ile njia.
Likewise the people of the lande shall worshippe at the entrie of this gate before the Lord on the Sabbaths, and in the newe moones.
4 Sadaka ya kuteketezwa aletazo mkuu anayetawala kwa Bwana siku ya Sabato itakuwa ni wana-kondoo sita na kondoo dume mmoja, wote wasiwe na dosari.
And the burnt offring that the prince shall offer vnto the Lord on the Sabbath day, shalbe sixe lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish.
5 Sadaka ya nafaka inayotolewa pamoja na huyo kondoo dume itakuwa efa moja na sadaka ya nafaka inayotolewa na hao wana-kondoo itakuwa kiasi apendacho mtu pamoja na hini ya mafuta kwa kila efa.
And the meat offring shalbe an Ephah for a ram: and the meate offring for the lambs a gift of his hand, and an Hin of oyle to an Ephah.
6 Siku ya mwezi mwandamo atatoa fahali mchanga, wana-kondoo sita na kondoo dume, wote wasiwe na dosari.
And in the day of the newe moone it shall be a yong bullocke without blemish, and sixe lambes and a ram: they shalbe without blemish.
7 Atatoa kuwa sadaka ya nafaka efa moja pamoja na fahali mmoja, efa moja na kondoo dume mmoja na pamoja na wana-kondoo kama atakavyo kutoa, pamoja na hini ya mafuta kwa kila efa.
And he shall prepare a meat offring, euen an Ephah for a bullocke, and an Ephah for a ram, and for the lambes according as his hand shall bring, and an Hin of oyle to an Ephah.
8 Wakati mkuu anayetawala aingiapo, atapitia kwenye baraza ya njia ya lango, naye atatoka nje kwa njia hiyo hiyo.
And when the prince shall enter, hee shall goe in by the way of the porche of that gate, and hee shall go foorth by the way thereof.
9 “‘Wakati watu wa nchi wanapokuja mbele za Bwana katika sikukuu zilizoamriwa, yeyote aingiaye kwa lango la kaskazini kuabudu atatoka nje kwa lango la kusini na yeyote aingiaye kwa lango la kusini atatoka nje kwa lango la kaskazini. Hakuna mtu yeyote atakayerudi kwa kupitia lango lile aliloingilia, lakini kila mmoja atatoka nje kwa lango linalokabili lile aliloingilia.
But when the people of the land shall come before the Lord in the solemne feastes, hee that entreth in by the way of the North gate to worship, shall goe out by the way of the South gate: and he that entreth by the way of the South gate, shall goe foorth by the way of the North gate: hee shall not returne by the way of the gate whereby hee came in, but they shall goe forth ouer against it.
10 Mkuu anayetawala atakuwa miongoni mwao, akiingia nao ndani wanapoingia, naye atatoka nao nje wanapotoka.
And the prince shall be in the middes of them: hee shall go in when they goe in, and when they goe forth, they shall goe forth together.
11 “‘Kwenye sikukuu na kwenye sikukuu zilizoamriwa, sadaka ya nafaka itakuwa efa moja pamoja na fahali mmoja, efa moja pamoja na kondoo dume mmoja, pamoja na idadi ya wana-kondoo kama mtu apendavyo kutoa, pamoja na hini ya mafuta kwa kila efa.
And in the feastes, and in the solemnities the meat offring shalbe an Ephah to a bullocke, and an Ephah to a ram, and to the lambes, the gift of his hand, and an Hin of oyle to an Ephah.
12 Mkuu anayetawala anapotoa sadaka ya hiari kwa Bwana, ikiwa ni sadaka ya kuteketezwa au sadaka ya amani, lango linaloelekea mashariki litafunguliwa kwa ajili yake. Atatoa sadaka yake ya kuteketezwa au sadaka yake ya amani kama afanyavyo katika siku ya Sabato. Kisha atatoka nje, naye akiisha kutoka nje, lango litafungwa.
Nowe when the prince shall make a free burnt offring or peace offrings freely vnto the Lord, one shall then open him the gate, that turneth towarde the East, and hee shall make his burnt offring and his peace offrings, as he did on the Sabbath day: after, hee shall goe foorth, and when he is gone forth, one shall shut the gate.
13 “‘Kila siku utamtoa mwana-kondoo wa mwaka mmoja asiyekuwa na dosari kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa Bwana, utaitoa kila siku asubuhi.
Thou shalt dayly make a burnt offring vnto the Lord of a lambe of one yere without blemish: thou shalt doe it euery morning.
14 Pia kila siku asubuhi pamoja na hiyo sadaka utatoa sadaka ya nafaka, ikiwa na sehemu ya sita ya efa pamoja na theluthi moja ya hini ya mafuta ya kuchanganya na ule unga. Utoaji wa sadaka hii ya nafaka kwa Bwana ni amri ya daima.
And thou shalt prepare a meate offring for it euery morning, the sixt part of an Ephah, and the thirde part of an Hin of oyle, to mingle with the fine flowre: this meate offring shalbe continually by a perpetuall ordinance vnto the Lord.
15 Kwa hiyo mwana-kondoo na sadaka ya nafaka na mafuta vitatolewa kila siku asubuhi kwa ajili ya sadaka ya daima ya kuteketezwa.
Thus shall they prepare the lambe, and the meate offring and the oyle euery morning, for a continual burnt offring.
16 “‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Ikiwa mkuu atawalaye atatoa zawadi kutoka kwenye urithi wake na kumpa mmoja wa wanawe, hiyo zawadi itakuwa pia kwa wazao wake, itakuwa mali yao kwa urithi.
Thus saith the Lord God, If the prince giue a gift of his inheritance vnto any of his sonnes, it shalbe his sonnes, and it shall bee their possession by inheritance.
17 Hata hivyo, kama atatoa zawadi kutoka urithi wake na kumpa mmoja wa watumishi wake, mtumishi anaweza kuiweka mpaka mwaka wa uhuru, kisha itarudishwa kwa mkuu anayetawala. Urithi wake ni wa wanawe peke yao, ni mali yao.
But if hee giue a gift of his inheritance to one of his seruantes, then it shall bee his to the yere of libertie: after, it shall returne to ye prince, but his inheritance shall remaine to his sonnes for them.
18 Mkuu anayetawala hana ruhusa kuchukua urithi wowote wa watu na kuwaondoa kwenye mali zao. Mkuu atawalaye atawapa wanawe urithi wao, kutoka kwenye mali zake mwenyewe, ili kwamba pasiwe na mtu wangu yeyote atakayetengwa na urithi wake.’”
Moreouer the prince shall not take of the peoples inheritance, nor thrust them out of their possession: but he shall cause his sonnes to inherit of his owne possession, that my people be not scattered euery man from his possession.
19 Kisha mtu yule akanileta kwa kupitia kwenye ingilio lililokuwa kando ya lango mpaka kwenye vyumba vitakatifu vinavyoelekea kaskazini, ambavyo ni vya makuhani, naye akanionyesha mahali fulani upande wa mwisho wa magharibi.
After, he brought me through the entrie, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers of the Priestes, which stoode towarde the North: and beholde, there was a place at the West side of them.
20 Akaniambia, “Mahali hapa ndipo makuhani watakapotokosea sadaka ya hatia na sadaka ya dhambi na kuoka sadaka ya nafaka, kuepuka kuzileta katika ukumbi wa nje na kushirikisha utakatifu kwa watu.”
Then saide he vnto me, This is the place where the Priestes shall see the the trespasse offering and the sinne offering, where they shall bake the meat offring, that they should not beare them into the vtter court, to sanctifie ye people.
21 Baada ya hapo akanileta kwenye ukumbi wa nje na kunizungusha kwenye pembe zake nne, nami nikaona katika kila pembe ya huo ukumbi kulikuwa na ukumbi mwingine.
Then he brought me foorth into the vtter court, and caused me to goe by the foure corners of the court: and beholde, in euery corner of the court, there was a court.
22 Katika pembe nne za huo ukumbi wa nje kulikuwa na kumbi nyingine, zenye urefu wa dhiraa arobaini na upana wake dhiraa thelathini, ambapo hizo kumbi kwenye hizo pembe nne zilikuwa na vipimo vilivyo sawa.
In the foure corners of the court there were courts ioyned of fourty cubits long, and thirty broad: these foure corners were of one measure.
23 Mzunguko wa ndani wa hizo kumbi nne ulikuwa na ukingo wa jiwe, zikiwa na sehemu zilizojengwa kwa ajili ya moto kuzunguka chini ya huo ukingo.
And there went a wall about them, euen about those foure, and kitchins were made vnder the walles rounde about.
24 Akaniambia, “Hizi ndizo sehemu za kupikia ambazo wale wanaohudumu kwenye Hekalu watatokosea dhabihu za watu.”
Then said he vnto me, This is the kitchin where the ministers of the house shall seethe the sacrifice of the people.
