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.
In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the first month, on the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, on the selfsame day the hand of Jehovah was upon me, and he brought me [[thither into the city]].
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 the visions of God he brought me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, upon which was, as it were, the frame of a city toward the south.
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 when he had brought me thither, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was as the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring-reed, and he stood in 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, Son of man, behold with thine eyes and hear with thine ears, and give heed to all which I shall show thee; for to the intent that I might show them to thee art thou brought hither; declare all which 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 on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand a measuring reed, in length six cubits of a cubit and a handbreadth; and he measured the breadth of the wall, one reed; and the height, one reed.
6 Kisha akaenda hata kwenye lango la hekalu lililokuwa limeelekea mashariki. Akapanda ngazi na kuipima kizingiti cha lango-mwanzi mmoja upana.
Then came he to the gate, which looked toward the east, and went up the steps thereof, and measured the upper threshold of the gate, one reed broad, and the other threshold of the gate one reed broad.
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 every chamber was one reed long, and one reed broad; and between the chambers were five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within was one reed.
8 Akapima tawa la lango; ulikuwa mwanzi mmoja urefu.
He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed.
9 Akapima tawa la lango. Ilikuwa mwanzi mmoja kwenda chini. Mihimili ilikuwa dhiraa mbili upana. Hili lilikuwa tawa la lango kuelekea hekalu.
Then he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the border thereof, two cubits; now 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 eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure, and the projecting wall-pillars were of one measure on this side, and on that side.
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 entry of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the entry of the gate, thirteen cubits.
12 Akaupima ukuta uliokuwa mpaka mbele ya vyumba-dhiraa moja urefu. Vyumba vilipimwa dhiraa sita kila upande.
There was also a space before the chambers one cubit on this side, and a space one cubit on that side; and every chamber was six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.
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.
Then he measured the gate from the roof of one chamber to the roof of another; the breadth was five and twenty cubits, and door was over against door.
14 Kisha akapima ukuta uliokuwa umeenda kati ya vyumba vya ulinzi-dhiraa sitini urefu; alipima kwa mbali na tawa la lango.
He made also wall-pillars sixty cubits, and toward the pillars, was the court of the gate round about on every side.
15 Lango la kuingia kutoka lango la mbele kuelekea lango jingine la tawa la mwisho lilikuwa dhiraa hamsini.
And from the front of the gate of the entrance to the front of the porch of the inner gate were 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 closed windows to the chambers and to their wall-pillars inward toward the gate round about, and likewise to the cornices; there were windows round about within, and upon the wall-pillars were palm-trees.
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.
Then he brought me into the outer court, and behold, there were rooms, and a pavement made for the court round about; thirty rooms were upon the pavement.
18 Kibamba kilienda juu hata upande wa malango, na upana wake ulikuwa sawsawa na urefu wa malango. Hiki kilikuwa kibamba cha chini.
And the pavement at the sides of the gates, by the length of the gates, was the lower pavement.
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.
Then he measured the breadth from the front of the lower gate to the front of the inner court without, a hundred cubits toward the east and toward the north.
20 Kisha akapima urefu na upana wa lango lililokuwa upande wa kaskazini mwa ua wa nje.
And as for the gate that looked toward the north in the outer court, he measured the length thereof, and the breadth thereof.
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 thereof were three on this side, and three on that side. And the border thereof, and the cornices thereof, were of the same measure as the former gate; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
22 Madirisha yake, tawa, vyumba, na mitende yake vilikabiliana na lango ambalo linaloelekea mashariki. Ngazi saba kuupandia juu hata kwenye tawa lake.
And the windows thereof, and the cornices thereof, and the palm-trees thereof were of the same measure as the gate which looked toward the east, and they went up to it by seven steps, and the cornices thereof were before them.
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 the gate of the inner court was over against the gate toward the north and east. And he measured 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.
Then he led me toward the south; and behold, there was a gate toward the south; and he measured the border thereof and the cornices thereof according to those measures.
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 there were windows in it, and within the cornices thereof round about, like those windows; the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth 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 there were seven steps to go up to it, and the cornices thereof were before them; and it had palm-trees, one on this side and another on that side, upon the wall-pillars thereof.
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 in the inner court toward the south; and he measured from gate to gate toward the south a hundred cubits.
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 to the inner court through the south gate; and he measured the south gate according to the same 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 thereof, and the border thereof, and the cornices thereof were according to those measures. And there were windows in it, and within the cornices thereof, round about; it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
30 Pia kulikuwa na matao pande zote za kuta za ndani; haya yalikuwa dhiraa ishirini na tano urefu na dhiraa tano upana.
And the cornices round about were five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad.
31 Hili tawa lilielekea ua wa nje pamoja na mitende iliyochongwa juu ya kuta zake na ngazi nane kuupandia.
And the cornices thereof were toward the outer court; and palm-trees were upon the wall-pillars thereof; and in going up to it there were 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 to the inner court toward the east; and he measured the gate according to those 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 thereof, and the border thereof, and the cornices thereof, were according to those measures; and there were windows in it, and in the cornices thereof, round about; the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
34 Matawa yake yalielekea nje ya ua; ilikuwa na mitende pande zote za hiyo na ngazi nane za kuupandia.
And the cornices thereof were toward the outer court; and palm-trees were upon the wall-pillars thereof, on this side and on that side; and in going up to it there were eight steps.
35 Kisha huyo mtu akanileta hata lango la kaskazini na kulipima; likapimwa vivyo hivyo kama malango mengine.
And he brought me to the north gate, and measured it according to those 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.
the chambers thereof, and the border thereof, and the cornices thereof; and there were windows to it, round about; the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
37 Tatawa lake lilielekea ua wa nje; ilikuwa na mitende pande zote za huo na ngazi nane kuupandia.
And the cornices thereof were toward the outer court; and palm-trees were upon the wall-pillars thereof, on this side and on that side; and in going up to it there were eight steps.
38 Kulikuwa na chumba pamoja na mlango karibu na kila lango la ndani. Hapa ndipo ambako walipooshea sadaka za kutekezwa.
And a room with its doors was by the borders of the gates, where they washed the burnt-offering.
39 Kulikuwa na meza mbili kila upande wa kila ukumbi, ambako sadaka ya kuteketezwa ilipochinjiwa, na pia sadaka ya dhambi na sadaka ya hatia.
And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slay thereon the burnt-offering, and the sin-offering, and the trespass-offering.
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 at the side without, as one goeth up to the entrance of the north gate, were two tables; and on the other side, which was at the porch of the gate, were two tables;
41 Kulikuwa na meza nne pande zote karibu na lango; wakachinja wanyama juu ya meza nane.
four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side; on the other side of the gate eight tables, whereon they slew their 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 the four tables for the burnt-offering were of hewn stone; their length was a cubit and a half, and their breadth a cubit and a half, and their height a cubit. Thereon they laid the instruments with which they slew the burnt-offering and the sacrifice.
43 Kulabu mbili ujazo wa kiganja urefu uliokuwa umeunganishwa katika ua pande zote, na nyama ya matoleo ilikuwa imewekwa juu ya meza.
And there were edging-boards of a handbreadth, prepared within round about; and upon the tables was the flesh of the offering.
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 without the inner gate were rooms for the singers in the inner court; they were at the side of the north gate, and their prospect was toward the south; one at the side of the east gate having the prospect toward 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 room, whose prospect is toward 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 room whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests that keep the charge of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, who, among the sons of Levi, come near to Jehovah to minister to him.
47 Kisha akaupima ule ua-dhiraa mia moja urefu na dhiraa mia moja upana mraba, pamoja na madhabahu mbele ya nyumba.
Then he measured the court; its length was a hundred cubits, and its breadth a hundred cubits, being square. And the altar stood before 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.
Then he brought me to the porch of the temple, and he measured the door-border of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side. And the breadth of the gate was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that 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.
The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; and they went up to it by steps. And there were columns by the door-border, one on this side, and another on that side.
