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 twenty and fifth year of our removal, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in this self-same day hath a hand of Jehovah been upon me, and He bringeth me in thither;
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 visions of God He hath brought me in unto the land of Israel, and causeth me to rest on a very high mountain, and upon it [is] as the frame of 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 bringeth me in thither, and lo, a man, his appearance as the appearance of brass, and a thread of flax in his hand, and a measuring-reed, and he is standing 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 speaketh unto me: 'Son of man, see with thine eyes, And with thine ears hear, And set thy heart to all that I am shewing thee, For, in order to shew [it] thee, Thou hast been brought in hither, Declare all that thou art seeing 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 lo, a wall on the outside of the house all round about, and in the hand of the man a measuring-reed, six cubits by a cubit and a handbreadth, and he measureth 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.
And he cometh in unto the gate whose front [is] eastward, and he goeth up by its steps, and he measureth the threshold of the gate one reed broad, even the one threshold 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 the little chamber one reed long and one reed broad, and between the little chambers five cubits, and the threshold of the gate, from the side of the porch of the gate from within, one reed.
8 Akapima tawa la lango; ulikuwa mwanzi mmoja urefu.
And he measureth the porch of the gate from 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.
and he measureth the porch of the gate eight cubits, and its posts two cubits, and the porch of the gates from within,
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, three on this side, and three on that side; one measure [is] to them three, and one measure [is] to the posts, 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 measureth the breadth of the opening of the gate ten cubits, the length of the gate thirteen cubits;
12 Akaupima ukuta uliokuwa mpaka mbele ya vyumba-dhiraa moja urefu. Vyumba vilipimwa dhiraa sita kila upande.
and a border before the little chambers, one cubit, and one cubit [is] the border on this side, and the little chamber [is] 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.
And he measureth the gate from the roof of the [one] little chamber to the roof of another; the breadth twenty and five cubits, opening over-against opening.
14 Kisha akapima ukuta uliokuwa umeenda kati ya vyumba vya ulinzi-dhiraa sitini urefu; alipima kwa mbali na tawa la lango.
And he maketh the posts of sixty cubits, even unto the post of the court, the gate all round about;
15 Lango la kuingia kutoka lango la mbele kuelekea lango jingine la tawa la mwisho lilikuwa dhiraa hamsini.
and by the front of the gate of the entrance, by the front of the porch of the inner gate, 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 narrow windows [are] unto the little chambers, and unto their posts at the inside of the gate all round about — and so to the arches — and windows all round about [are] at the inside, and at the post [are] 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.
And he bringeth me in unto the outer court, and lo, chambers and a pavement made for the court all round about — thirty chambers on 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 unto the side of the gates over-against the length of the gates [is] 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.
and he measureth the breadth from before the lower gate, to the front of the inner court, on the outside, a hundred cubits, eastward and northward.
20 Kisha akapima urefu na upana wa lango lililokuwa upande wa kaskazini mwa ua wa nje.
As to the gate of the outer court whose front [is] northward, he hath 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, three on this side, and three on that side, and its posts and its arches have been according to the measure of the first gate, fifty cubits its length, and the breadth five and twenty by the cubit;
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 arches, and its palm-trees [are] according to the measure of the gate whose face [is] eastward, and by seven steps they go up on it, and its arches [are] 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 [is] over-against the gate at the north and at the east; and he measureth from gate unto 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 causeth me to go southward, and lo, a gate southward, and he hath 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 windows [are] to it and to its arches all round about, like these windows, fifty cubits the length, 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 seven steps [are] its ascent, and its arches [are] before them, and palm-trees [are] to it, one on this side, and one on that side, at 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 the gate of the inner court [is] southward, and he measureth from gate unto gate southward, 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 bringeth me in unto the inner court by the south gate, and he measureth 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 [are] according to these measures, and windows [are] to it and to its arches all round about; fifty cubits the length, and the breadth twenty and five cubits.
30 Pia kulikuwa na matao pande zote za kuta za ndani; haya yalikuwa dhiraa ishirini na tano urefu na dhiraa tano upana.
As to the arches all round about, the length [is] five and twenty cubits, and the breadth five cubits;
31 Hili tawa lilielekea ua wa nje pamoja na mitende iliyochongwa juu ya kuta zake na ngazi nane kuupandia.
and its arches [are] unto the outer court, and palm-trees [are] unto its posts, and eight steps [are] its ascent.
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 bringeth me in unto the inner court eastward, and he measureth 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 [are] according to these measures: and windows [are] to it and to its arches all round about, the length 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 its arches [are] toward the outer court, and palm-trees [are] toward its posts, on this side and on that side, and eight steps [are] its ascent.
35 Kisha huyo mtu akanileta hata lango la kaskazini na kulipima; likapimwa vivyo hivyo kama malango mengine.
And he bringeth me in unto the north gate, and hath measured 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 windows [are] to it all round about: the length 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 [are] to the outer court, and palm-trees [are] unto its posts, on this side and on that side, and eight steps [are] its ascent.
38 Kulikuwa na chumba pamoja na mlango karibu na kila lango la ndani. Hapa ndipo ambako walipooshea sadaka za kutekezwa.
And the chamber and its opening [is] by the posts of the gates, there they purge 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 [are] two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slaughter on them the burnt-offering, and the sin-offering, and the guilt-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, at the going up to the opening of the north gate, [are] two tables; and at the other side that [is] at the porch of the gate, [are] two tables;
41 Kulikuwa na meza nne pande zote karibu na lango; wakachinja wanyama juu ya meza nane.
four tables [are] on this side, and four tables on that side, at the side of the gate, eight tables on which they slaughter.
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 burnt-offering [are] of hewn stone: the length one cubit and a half, and the breadth one cubit and a half, and the height one cubit: on them they place the instruments with which they slaughter 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 the boundaries [are] one handbreadth, prepared within all round about: and on the tables [is] 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 on the outside of the inner gate [are] chambers of the singers, in the inner court, that [are] at the side of the north gate, and their fronts [are] southward, one at the side of the east gate [hath] the front northward.
45 Kisha yule mtu akanambia, “Hiki chumba kinachoelekea kusini ni kwa ajili ya makuhani walio zamu katika hekalu.
And he speaketh unto me: 'This chamber, whose front [is] southward, [is] for priests keeping 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 front [is] northward, [is] for priests keeping charge of the altar: they [are] sons of Zadok, who are drawing near of the sons of Levi unto Jehovah, 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 measureth the court: the length a hundred cubits, and the breadth a hundred cubits, square, and the altar [is] 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 bringeth me in unto the porch of the house, and he measureth the post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side, and the breadth of the gate, 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 twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; and by the steps whereby they go up unto it: and pillars [are] at the posts, one on this side, and one on that side.
