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 beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was smitten, in the same day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and brought me there.
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, by which was a structure like a city on 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 he brought me there, and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like 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 thy eyes, and hear with thy ears, and set thy heart upon all that I shall show thee; for to the intent that I might show them to thee art thou brought here: declare all 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 on the outside of the house all around, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed of six cubits long by the cubit and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, 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 he came to the gate which looketh toward the east, and went up its steps, and measured the threshold of the gate, which was one reed broad; and the other threshold of the gate, which was 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 little chamber was one reed long, and one reed broad; and between the little 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 its posts, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was inside.
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 little chambers of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure: and the posts had 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 entrance of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.
12 Akaupima ukuta uliokuwa mpaka mbele ya vyumba-dhiraa moja urefu. Vyumba vilipimwa dhiraa sita kila upande.
The space also before the little chambers was one cubit on this side, and the space was one cubit on that side: and the little chambers were 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.
He measured then the gate from the roof of one little chamber to the roof of another: the breadth was five and twenty cubits, door 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 posts of sixty cubits, even to the post of the court around to the gate.
15 Lango la kuingia kutoka lango la mbele kuelekea lango jingine la tawa la mwisho lilikuwa dhiraa hamsini.
And from the face of the gate of the entrance to the face 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 narrow windows to the little chambers, and to their posts within the gate on every side, and likewise to the arches: and windows were all around inside: and upon each post 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, lo, there were chambers, and a pavement made for the court all around: thirty chambers 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 by the side of the gates was as wide as the length of the gates; was to 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 on the other side, an hundred cubits eastward and northward.
20 Kisha akapima urefu na upana wa lango lililokuwa upande wa kaskazini mwa ua wa nje.
And the gate of the outer court that looked toward the north, he measured its length, and its 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 its little chambers were three on this side and three on that side; and its posts and its arches were after the measure of the first gate: its length was fifty cubits, and its 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 their windows, and their arches, and their palm trees, were after the measure of the gate that looketh toward the east; and they went up to it by seven steps; and its arches 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 opposite the gate toward the north, and toward the east; and he measured from gate to gate an 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.
After that he brought me toward the south, and behold a gate toward the south: and he measured its posts and its arches according to these 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 in its arches all around, 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 its arches were before them: and it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon its posts.
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 an 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 by the south gate: and he measured the south 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 its little chambers, and its posts, and its arches, according to these measures: and there were windows in it and in its arches all around: 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 arches all around 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 its arches were toward the outer court; and palm trees were upon its posts: and the ascent to it had 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 into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the gate 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 its little chambers, and its posts, and its arches, were according to these measures: and there were windows in it and in its arches all around: it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
34 Matawa yake yalielekea nje ya ua; ilikuwa na mitende pande zote za hiyo na ngazi nane za kuupandia.
And its arches were toward the outer court; and palm trees were upon its posts, on this side, and on that side: and the ascent to 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 to the north 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.
Its little chambers, its posts, and its arches, and the windows all around: 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 its posts were toward the outer court; and palm trees were upon its posts, on this side, and on that side: and the ascent to it had eight steps.
38 Kulikuwa na chumba pamoja na mlango karibu na kila lango la ndani. Hapa ndipo ambako walipooshea sadaka za kutekezwa.
And the chambers and its entrances were by the posts 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 on it 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 on the outside, 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, by the side of the gate; eight tables, upon which 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 were of hewn stone for the burnt offering, of a cubit and an half long, and a cubit and an half broad, and one cubit high: upon which also 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 within were hooks, an hand broad, fastened all around: 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 outside the inner gate were the chambers of the singers in the inner court, which was 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 chamber, whose prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of 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 whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok among the sons of Levi, who come near to the LORD 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.
So he measured the court, an hundred cubits long, and an hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar that was 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.
And he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post 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 he brought me by the steps by which they went up to it: and there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
