Ezekieli 40
1 Katika mwaka wa ishirini na tano wa kuhamishwa kwetu mwanzoni mwa mwaka siku ya kumi ya mwezi, katika mwaka wa kumi na nne baada ya mji kuchukuliwa-katika siku hiyo hiyo, mkono wa Yahwe ulikuwa juu yangu na alinichukua huko.
And it came to pass in the twenty-fifth year of our captivity, in the first month, on the tenth [day] of the month, in the fourteenth year after the taking of the city, in that day the hand of the Lord was upon me, and brought me
2 Katika maono ya Mungu akanileta hata nchi ya Israeli. Akanileta kupumzika juu ya kila mlima mrefu sana; upande wa kusini kulikuwa na monekano kana kwamba majengo ya mji.
in a vision of God into the land of Israel, and set me on a very high mountain, and upon it [there was] as it were the frame of a city before [me].
3 Kisha akanileta huko. Tazama, kulikuwa na mtu! Mwonekano wake ulikuwa kama mwonekano wa shaba. Alikuwa na uzi wa kitani na mwanzi wa kupimia mkononi mwake, na alisimama katika lango la mji.
And he brought me in thither, and, behold, [there was] a man, and the appearance of him was as the appearance of shining brass, and in his hand was a builder's line, and a measuring reed; and he stood at the gate.
4 Huyo mtu akanambia, “Mwanadamu, tazama kwa macho yako na sikiliza kwa masikio yako, na elekeza moyo wako juu ya yote ninayokufunulia, kwa kuwa ulinileta hapa ili niweze kukufunulia haya wewe. Toa taarifa ya kila kitu utakachokiona kwa nyumba ya Israeli.
And the man said to me, Look with thine eyes at him whom thou hast seen, son of man, and hear with thine ears, and lay up in thine heart all things that I show thee; for thou hast come in hither that [I] might show thee, and thou shalt show all things that thou seest to the house of Israel.
5 Kulikuwa ukuta uliokuwa umezunguka eneo la hekalu. Urefu wa kipimo cha mwanzi katika mkono wa mtu ulikuwa dhiraa sita urefu, kila urefu wa dhiraa ulikuwa dhiraa moja na kipimo cha kiganja cha mkono urefu. Aliupima ukuta; ulikuwa kipimo cha mwanzi mmoja na ufito mmoja urefu.
And behold a wall round about the house without, and in the man's hand a reed, the measure [of it was] six cubits by the cubit, and a span: and he measured across the front wall; the breadth was equal to the reed, and the length of it equal to the reed.
6 Kisha akaenda hata kwenye lango la hekalu lililokuwa limeelekea mashariki. Akapanda ngazi na kuipima kizingiti cha lango-mwanzi mmoja upana.
And he entered by seven steps into the gate that looks eastward, and he measured across the porch of the gate equal to the reed.
7 Vyumba vya ulinzi vilikuwa kila mwanzi mmoja urefu na mwanzi mmoja upana; kulikuwa na dhiraa tano katika kila vyumba viwili, na kizingiti cha lango la hekalu karibu na tawa la hekalu kilikuwa mwanzi mmoja urefu.
And the chamber was equal in length to the reed, and equal in breadth to the reed; and the porch between the chambers six cubits; and the second chamber equal in breadth to the reed, and equal in length to the reed, and the porch five cubits.
8 Akapima tawa la lango; ulikuwa mwanzi mmoja urefu.
And the third chamber equal in length to the reed, and equal in breadth to the reed.
9 Akapima tawa la lango. Ilikuwa mwanzi mmoja kwenda chini. Mihimili ilikuwa dhiraa mbili upana. Hili lilikuwa tawa la lango kuelekea hekalu.
And the porch of the gateway (near the porch of the gate) eight cubits; and the posts there of two cubits; and the porch of the gate was inward:
10 Kulikuwa na vyumba vitatu vya ulinzi pande zote za lango la mashariki, na yote yalikuwa na kipimo kile kile, na kuta zilizokuwa zimezigawanya zilikuwa na kipimo kile kile.
and the chambers of the gate of the chamber in front [were] three on one side and three on the other, and [there was] one measure to the three: [there was] one measure to the porches on this side and on that.
11 Kisha yule mtu akapima upana wa njia ya lango la kuingia-dhiraa kumi; na akapima urefu wa njia ya lango la kuingia-dhiraa kumi na tatu.
And he measured the breadth of the door of the gateway, ten cubits; and the breadth of the gateway thirteen cubits.
12 Akaupima ukuta uliokuwa mpaka mbele ya vyumba-dhiraa moja urefu. Vyumba vilipimwa dhiraa sita kila upande.
And the space before the chambers was narrowed to a cubit in front of the chambers on this side and on that side: and the chamber was six cubits this way, and six cubits that way.
13 Kisha akapima lango la njia kutoka kwenye paa ya chumba kimoja kuelekea chumba kingine-dhiraa ishirini na tano, kutoka lango la kuingia chumba cha kwanza kuelekea kile cha pili.
And he measured the gate from the wall of one chamber to the wall of the other chamber: the breadth was twenty-five cubits, the one gate over against the other gate.
14 Kisha akapima ukuta uliokuwa umeenda kati ya vyumba vya ulinzi-dhiraa sitini urefu; alipima kwa mbali na tawa la lango.
And the open space of the porch of the gate without, was twenty cubits to the chambers round about the gate.
15 Lango la kuingia kutoka lango la mbele kuelekea lango jingine la tawa la mwisho lilikuwa dhiraa hamsini.
And the open space of the gate without to the open space of the porch of the gate within was fifty cubits.
16 Kulikuwa na madirisha yaliyokuwa yamefungwa kuelekea vyumba na kuelekea nguzo zake kati ya malango kuzunguka kote; na vivyo hivyo kwa mabaraza. Kulikuwa na madirisha pande zote za ndani, na kila mhimili ulikuwa umepambwa kwa mitende.
And [there were] secret windows to the chambers, and to the porches within the gate of the court round about, and in the same manner windows to the porches round about within: and on the porch [there were] palm-trees on this side and on that side.
17 Kisha huyo mtu akanileta hata ua wa nje mwa hekalu. Tazama, kulikuwa na vyumba, na kulikuwa na kibamba katika ua, pamoja na vyumba thelathini baada ya kibamba.
And he brought me into the inner court, and, behold, [there were] chambers, and peristyles round about the court; thirty chambers within the ranges of columns.
18 Kibamba kilienda juu hata upande wa malango, na upana wake ulikuwa sawsawa na urefu wa malango. Hiki kilikuwa kibamba cha chini.
And the porticos were behind the gates; according to the length of the gates, was the lower peristyle.
19 Kisha huyo mtu akapima umbali kutoka mebele ya lango la chini hata mbele ya lango la ndani; ilikuwa dhiraa mia moja upande wa mashariki, na sawasawa na upande wa kaskazini.
And he measured the breadth of the court, from the open space of the outer gate inwards to the open space of the gate looking outwards: a hundred cubits [was the distance to the place] of the gate looking eastward: and he brought me to the north;
20 Kisha akapima urefu na upana wa lango lililokuwa upande wa kaskazini mwa ua wa nje.
and behold a gate looking northwards [belonging to] the outer court, and he measured it, both the length of it and the breadth;
21 Kulikuwa na vyumba vitatu pande zote za lango, na lango na matawa yake yalipimwa sawa na lango kubwa-dhiraa hamsini upana wote na dhiraa ishirini na tano upana.
and the chambers, three on this side and three on that; and the posts, and the porches, and the palm-trees thereof: and they were according to the measures of the gate that looks eastward: the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof was twenty-five cubits.
22 Madirisha yake, tawa, vyumba, na mitende yake vilikabiliana na lango ambalo linaloelekea mashariki. Ngazi saba kuupandia juu hata kwenye tawa lake.
And its windows, and its porches, and its palm-trees, were according to [the dimensions of] the gate looking eastward; and they went up to it by seven steps; and the porches were within.
23 Kulikuwa na lango kwenye ua wa ndani mbele kuelekea mashariki; huyo mtu alipima kutoka lango moja hadi lango jingine-dhiraa mia moja umbali.
And [there was] a gate to the inner court looking toward the north gate, after the manner of the gate looking toward the east; and he measured the court from gate to gate, a hundred cubits.
24 Kisha huyo mtu akanileta hata kwenye lango la kuingia la kusini, na kuta zake na tawa vilipimwa sawa kama malango mengine ya nje.
And he brought me to the south side, and behold a gate looking southwards: and he measured it, and its chambers, and its posts, and its porches, according to these dimensions.
25 Kulikuwa na madirisha yaliyofungwa katika lango la njia na tawa lake kama lile lango. Lango la kusini na tawa lake vilipimwa dhiraa hamsini urefu na dhiraa ishirini na tano upana.
And its windows and its porches round about were according to the windows of the porch: the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof was five and twenty cubits.
26 Kulikuwa na ngazi saba hadi kwenye lango na matawa yake, na kulikuwa na mitende iliyochongoka juu ya kuta pande zote.
And it had seven steps, and porches within: and it [had] palm-trees on the posts, one on one side, and one on the other side.
27 Kulikuwa na lango la ua wa ndani upande wa kusini, na yule mtu akapima kutoka hilo lango hata lango la kuingia upande wa kusini-dhiraa mia moja umbali.
And [there was] a gate opposite the gate of the inner court southward: and he measured the court from gate to gate, a hundred cubits in breadth southward.
28 Kishi huyo mtu akanileta hata ua wa ndani karibu na lango lake la kusini, ambalo lilikuwa na vipimo vile vile kama malango mengine.
And he brought me into the inner court of the south gate: and he measured the gate according to these measures;
29 Vyumba vyake, kuta, na matao vilipimwa sawa kama malango mengine; kulikuwa na madirisha kuzunguka matao yote. Lango la ndani na matao yake yalipimwa dhiraa hamsini urefu na dhiraa ishirini na tano upana.
and the chambers, and the posts,
30 Pia kulikuwa na matao pande zote za kuta za ndani; haya yalikuwa dhiraa ishirini na tano urefu na dhiraa tano upana.
and the porches, according to these measures: and [there were] windows to it and to the porches round about: its length was fifty cubits, and [its] breadth twenty-five cubits,
31 Hili tawa lilielekea ua wa nje pamoja na mitende iliyochongwa juu ya kuta zake na ngazi nane kuupandia.
from the porch to the outer court: and [there were] palm-trees to the post [thereof], and eight steps.
32 Kisha yule mtu akanileta hata kwenye ua wa ndani karibu na njia ya kaskazini na kulipima lango, ambalo lilikuwa na vipimo sawa kama malango mengine.
And he brought me in at the gate that looks eastward: and he measured it according to these measures:
33 Vyumba vyake, kuta, na matawa yalikuwa na kipima sawa kama cha malango, na kulikuwa na madirisha pande zote. Laango la ndani na matawa yake yalikuwa dhiraa hamsini urefu na dhiraa ishirini na tano upana.
and the chambers, and the posts, and the porches according to these measures: and [there were] windows to it, and porches round about: the length of it was fifty cubits, and the breadth of it twenty-five cubits.
34 Matawa yake yalielekea nje ya ua; ilikuwa na mitende pande zote za hiyo na ngazi nane za kuupandia.
And [there were] porches [opening] into the inner court, and palm-trees on the posts on this side and on that side: and it [had] eight steps.
35 Kisha huyo mtu akanileta hata lango la kaskazini na kulipima; likapimwa vivyo hivyo kama malango mengine.
And he brought me in at the northern gate, and measured [it] according to these measures;
36 Vyumba vyake, kuta, na ukumbi vilipimwa sawa na malango mengine, na kulikuwa na madirisha pande zote. Njia ya lango na matao yake yalipimwa dhiraa hamsini urefu na upana dhiraa ishirini na tano.
and the chambers, and the posts, and the porches: and it [had] windows round about, and [it had] its porches: the length of it was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits.
37 Tatawa lake lilielekea ua wa nje; ilikuwa na mitende pande zote za huo na ngazi nane kuupandia.
And its porches were toward the inner court; and [there were] palm-trees to the posts on this side and on that side: and it [had] eight steps.
38 Kulikuwa na chumba pamoja na mlango karibu na kila lango la ndani. Hapa ndipo ambako walipooshea sadaka za kutekezwa.
Its chambers and its door-ways, and its porches at the second gate [served as] a drain,
39 Kulikuwa na meza mbili kila upande wa kila ukumbi, ambako sadaka ya kuteketezwa ilipochinjiwa, na pia sadaka ya dhambi na sadaka ya hatia.
that they might slay in it the sin-offerings, and the trespass-offerings.
40 Karibu na ukuta wa ua, kuelekea juu kwenye lango kuelekea kaskazini, kulikuwa na meza mbili. Pia kwa upande mwingine kulikuwa na meza mbili kwenye lango la ukumbi.
And behind the drain for the whole-burnt-offerings at the north [gate], two tables eastward behind the second gate; and [behind] the porch of the gate two tables eastward.
41 Kulikuwa na meza nne pande zote karibu na lango; wakachinja wanyama juu ya meza nane.
Four on one side and four on the other side behind the gate; upon them they kill the victims, in front of the eight tables of sacrifices.
42 Kulikuwa na meza nne za mawe yaliyochongwa kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa, dhiraa moja na nusu urefu, dhiraa moja na nusu upana, na kimo dhiraa moja. Juu yake waliweka vyombo pamoja ambavyo walivichinjia sadaka za kuteketezwa kwa ajili ya sadaka.
And [there were] four tables of hewn stone for whole-burnt-offerings, the breadth [of them was] a cubit and a half, and the length [of them] two cubits [and] a half, and [their] height was a cubit: on them they shall place the instruments with which they slay there the whole-burnt-offerings and the victims.
43 Kulabu mbili ujazo wa kiganja urefu uliokuwa umeunganishwa katika ua pande zote, na nyama ya matoleo ilikuwa imewekwa juu ya meza.
And they shall have within a border of hewn stone round about of a span broad, and over the tables above screens for covering [them] from the wet and from the heat.
44 Karibu na lango la ndani, katika ua wa ndani, kulikuwa na vyumba vya waimbaji. Moja ya hivi vyumba kilikuwa upande wa kaskazini, na kingine kusini.
And he brought me into the inner court, and behold [there were] two chambers in the inner court, one behind the gate looking to the north, turning southward, and one behind the southern gate, but which looks to the north.
45 Kisha yule mtu akanambia, “Hiki chumba kinachoelekea kusini ni kwa ajili ya makuhani walio zamu katika hekalu.
And he said to me, This chamber that looks to the south, is for the priests that keep the charge of the house.
46 Chumba kilichoelekea kaskazini kilikuwa kwa ajili ya makuhani waliokuwa zamu kwenye madhabahu. Hawa ni wana wa Sadoki ambaye huja humkaribia Yahwe kumtumikia; ambao ni miongoni mwa wana wa Lawi.”
And the chamber that looks to the north is for the priests that keep the charge of the altar: they are the sons of Sadduc, those of the tribe of Levi who draw near to the Lord to serve him.
47 Kisha akaupima ule ua-dhiraa mia moja urefu na dhiraa mia moja upana mraba, pamoja na madhabahu mbele ya nyumba.
And he measured the court, the length [whereof was] a hundred cubits, and the breadth a hundred cubits, on its four sides; and the altar in front of the house.
48 Kisha yule mtu akanileta hata kwenye varanda ya nyumba na kupima mwimo wa milango yake-ilikuwa dhiraa tano unene upande huu. Njia ya kuingilia yenyewe ilikuwa dhiraa kumi na nne, na kuta pande zote za huo zilikuwa dhraa tatu upana.
And he brought me into the porch of the house; and he measured the post of the porch, the breadth was five cubits on one side and five cubits on the other side; and the breadth of the door [was] fourteen cubits, and the side-pieces of the door of the porch [were] three cubits on one side, and three cubits on the other side.
49 Urefu wa ukumbi ulikuwa dhiraa ishirini, na upana wake ulikuwa dhiraa kumi na moja. Kulikuwa na ngazi zilizokuwa zimepanda juu na nguzo zilizokuwa zimesimama pande zote za huo.
And the length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth twelve cubits; and they went up to it by ten steps; and [there were] pillars to the porch, one on this side and one on that side.
