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 saith the Lord Yhwh; The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be 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 stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.
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 land shall worship at the door of this gate before Yhwh in the sabbaths and in the new moons.
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 offering that the prince shall offer unto Yhwh in the sabbath day shall be six 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 grain offering shall be an ephah for a ram, and the grain offering for the lambs as he shall be able to give, and an hin of oil 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 new moon it shall be a young bullock without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram: they shall be 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 grain offering, an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs according as his hand shall attain unto, and an hin of oil 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, he shall go in by the way of the porch of that gate, and he shall go forth 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 Yhwh in the solemn feasts, he that entereth in by the way of the north gate to worship shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go forth over against it.
10 Mkuu anayetawala atakuwa miongoni mwao, akiingia nao ndani wanapoingia, naye atatoka nao nje wanapotoka.
And the prince in the midst of them, when they go in, shall go in; and when they go forth, shall go forth.
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 feasts and in the solemnities the grain offering shall be an ephah to a bullock, and an ephah to a ram, and to the lambs as he is able to give, and an hin of oil 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.
Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary burnt offering or peace offerings voluntarily unto Yhwh, one shall then open him the gate that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he did on the sabbath day: then he shall go forth; and after his going 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 daily prepare a burnt offering unto Yhwh of a lamb of the first year without blemish: thou shalt prepare it every 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 grain offering for it every morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of an hin of oil, to temper with the fine flour; a grain offering continually by a perpetual ordinance unto Yhwh.
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 lamb, and the grain offering, and the oil, every morning for a continual burnt offering.
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 Yhwh; If the prince give a gift unto any of his sons, the inheritance thereof shall be his sons’; it shall be 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 he give a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants, then it shall be his to the year of liberty; after it shall return to the prince: but his inheritance shall be his sons’ 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.’”
Moreover the prince shall not take of the people’s inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their possession; but he shall give his sons inheritance out of his own possession: that my people be not scattered every 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 entry, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers of the priests, which looked toward the north: and, behold, there was a place on the two sides westward.
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 said he unto me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, where they shall bake the grain offering; that they bear them not out into the utter court, to sanctify the 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 forth into the utter court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and, behold, in every 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 four corners of the court there were courts joined of forty cubits long and thirty broad: these four 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 was a row of building round about in them, round about them four, and it was made with boiling places under the rows round about.
24 Akaniambia, “Hizi ndizo sehemu za kupikia ambazo wale wanaohudumu kwenye Hekalu watatokosea dhabihu za watu.”
Then said he unto me, These are the places of them that boil, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.
