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 My Lord Yahweh, the gate of the inner court which looketh toward the east shall be shut, the six days of work, —but on the sabbath-day, shall it be opened, and on the day of the new moon, shall it 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.
The prince therefore shall enter by way of the porch of the gate without and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall offer his ascending-sacrifice and his peace offerings, and he shall bow down upon the threshold of the gate and then 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.
and the people of the land, shall bow down, at the entrance of that gate on the sabbaths and at the new moons, —before Yahweh.
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 ascending-sacrifice which the prince shall bring near unto Yahweh, [shall be] on the sabbath day, six he-lambs without defect and a ram without defect;
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 meal-offering shall be an ephah to a ram, and to the he-lambs, the meal-offering shall be as one is able to give, — and of, a hin to an ephah.
6 Siku ya mwezi mwandamo atatoa fahali mchanga, wana-kondoo sita na kondoo dume, wote wasiwe na dosari.
But on the day of the new moon, a young bullock without defect, —and six he-lambs and a ram without defect, shall they be;
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 an ephah to a bullock, and an ephah to a ram, shall he offer as a meal-offering, and for the he-lambs, just as his hand shall attain unto, —and of oil a hin 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, by way of the porch of the gate, shall he go in, and by way thereof, shall he go out.
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 enter before Yahweh on the appointed feasts, he that entereth by way of the north gate to bow down shall go forth by way of the south gate, and he that entereth by way of the south gate shall go forth by way of the north gate, —he shall not return by way of the gate by which he entered, but straight-forward, shall he go forth.
10 Mkuu anayetawala atakuwa miongoni mwao, akiingia nao ndani wanapoingia, naye atatoka nao nje wanapotoka.
But as for the prince in their midst when they enter, shall he enter, and when they go forth, shall he 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 festivals and in the appointed feasts, the meal-offering! shall be an ephah to a bullock, and an ephah to a ram, but to the he-lambs, as one is able to give, —and of oil a hin 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.
And, when the prince would offer as a freewill offering an ascending-sacrifice or peace-offerings as a free-will offering to Yahweh, then shall be opened to him the gate that looketh to the east, and he shall offer his ascending-sacrifice and his peace-offerings just as he would offer on the sabbath day, - and, when he shall go forth, then shall one shut the gate after he hath gone forth.
13 “‘Kila siku utamtoa mwana-kondoo wa mwaka mmoja asiyekuwa na dosari kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa Bwana, utaitoa kila siku asubuhi.
And, a he-lamb of the first year without defect, shalt thou offer as an ascending-sacrifice daily unto Yahweh, — morning by morning shalt thou offer it.
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, a meal-offering, shalt thou offer thereupon morning by morning, of the sixth of an ephah and, of oil, the third part of an hin to moisten the fine meal, —a meal-offering to Yahweh, age-abiding statutes continually.
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 offer the he-lamb and the meal-offering and the oil morning by morning, —a continual ascending-sacrifice.
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 My Lord Yahweh, When the prince would bestow a gift upon any one of his sons, his own inheritance, shall it be, for his sons, shall it remain, — their possession, shall it be by way of 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 when he would bestow a gift out of his inheritance on any one of his servants, it shall remain his unto the year of liberation, then shall it return to the prince, —surely it is the inheritance of his sons, theirs, shall it remain.
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.’”
So then the prince shall not take of the inheritance of the people to oppress them out of their possession, out of his own possession, shall he give an inheritance to his sons, —to the end that my people be not scattered, any one out of 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.
Then he brought me in through the entrance which was by the side of the gate, into the chambers of the holy place for the priests, those facing the north, —and lo! there a place, in the hinder parts westwards.
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 guilt-bearer and the sin-bearer, —where they shall bake the meal-offering, that one may not carry them forth into the outer court to hallow 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.
So he caused me to go out into the outer court, and then made me pass through into the four corners of the court, —and lo! a court in each corner of the 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, were courts covered over, forty long and thirty broad: of one measure, were those four.
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 an enclosure round about in them round about to those four, —and boiling places had been made under the enclosures round about.
24 Akaniambia, “Hizi ndizo sehemu za kupikia ambazo wale wanaohudumu kwenye Hekalu watatokosea dhabihu za watu.”
And he said unto me, — these, are the places of them who boil where they who wait upon the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.
