Ezekieli 41
1 Kisha yule mtu akanileta mahali patakatifu pa hekalu na mihimili-dhiraa sita upana pande zote.
[in the vision] the man brought me to into the Holy Place in the temple and measured the walls on each side of the doorway of that room: They were about (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) thick.
2 Upana wa maingilio ulikuwa dhiraa kumi; ukuta kila upande dhiraa tano urefu kila upande. Kisha yule mtu akapima ukubwa wa mahali patakatifu-dhiraa arobaini upana urefu na dhiraa ishirini upana.
The entrance was (17-1/2 feet/5.3 meters) wide, and the walls of each side of it were (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) wide. He also measured the Holy Place, it was (70 feet/21.4 meters) long and (35 feet/10.7 meters) wide.
3 Kisha yule mtu akaenda hata mahali patakatifu sana na kuipima miimili ya matokeo-dhiraa mbili-kuta pande zote zilikuwa dhiraa saba upana.
Then he entered the inner room [of the temple] and measured the walls of the entrance; [each was] (3-1/2 feet/1.1 meter) thick. The doorway was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) wide, and the walls on each side of the entrance were (12-1/4 feet/3.7 meters) long.
4 Kisha akapima urefu wa vyumba-dhiraa ishirini. Upana wake-dhiraa ishirini hata mbele kwenye ukumbi wa hekalu. Kisha akanambia, “Hapa ndipo mahali patakatifu sana.”
Then he measured the inner room: It was (35 feet/10.7 meters) long and (35 feet/10.7 meters) wide. He said to me, “This is the Very Holy Place.”
5 Kisha yule akapima kuta za nyumba-zilikuwa dhiraa sita unene. Upana wa kila upande wa chumba kuzunguka nyumba dhiraa nne upana.
Then he measured the wall of the temple: It was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) thick.[There was a row of rooms along the outside wall of the temple]. Each of those rooms was (7 feet/2.1 meters) wide.
6 Kulikuwa na pande tatu za vyumba, chumba kimoja juu ya kingine, vyumba thelathini, kulikuwa na kibao kitokezacho ukutani kuzunguka ukuta wa nyumba, kusaidia pande zote za vyumba, kwa kuwa hapakuwa na msaada uliokuwa umewekwa kwenye ukuta wa nyumba.
There were three levels of rooms, one above the other. There were thirty rooms on each level. There were ledges all around the wall of the temple that were supports for those side rooms; so those supports were not built into the wall of the temple.
7 Hivyo mbavu za nyumba zilipanuka na kuzunguka kwenda juu, kwa kuwa nyumba ilizunguka kwenda juu, na ngazi kuelekea juu hata sehemu ya juu, kupitia sehemu ya katikati.
Each of those side rooms was wider than the one below it. The most narrow rooms were built first, at the bottom. Then a wider set of rooms was built over it, and the widest set was at the top. A set of stairs was built from the lowest level through the middle level to the highest level.
8 Kisha nikaona sehemu iliyoinuka kuzunguka nyumba, msingi kwa ajili ya pande za vyumba; ikapimwa fimbo nzima urefu-dhiraa sita.
I saw that there was a terrace (OR, raised platform) around the temple. The terrace was the foundation for those side rooms; it was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) high.
9 Upana wa ukuta wa vyumba vya pembeni kwa upande wa nje ulikuwa dhiraa tano. Kulikuwa na sehemu ya wazi kwa upande wa nje wa hivi vyumba katika patakatifu.
The outer wall of those side rooms was (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) thick. All around those side rooms there was an open area that was (35 feet/10.6 meters) wide.
10 Kwa upande mwingine wa hii sehemu ya wazi kulikuwa na vyumba vya makuhani upande wa nje; hii sehemu ilikuwa na dhiraa ishirini upana kupazunguka patakatifu.
There was a row of rooms for the priests on each side of the outer wall of the inner courtyard.
11 Kulikuwa na milango kwenye vyumba vya pembeni kutoka sehemu ya wazi nyingine-njia ya mlango moja uliokuwa upande wa kaskazini, na mwingine upande wa kusini. Upana wa hili eneo la wazi ulikuwa na dhiraa tano kupazunguka.
There were two doors from those side rooms into another open area; one faced north and one faced south. That open area was (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) wide.
12 Lile jengo lililokuwa limeelekea kwenye ua upande wa magaribi dhiraa sabini upana. Ukuta wake ulipimwa dhiraa tano pande zote, na ilikuwa dhiraa tisini urefu.
There was a large building on the west side of the temple area. It was (122-1/2 feet/37.1 meters) wide and (157-1/2 feet/47.7 meters) long. And its walls were [also] (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) thick.
13 Kisha yule mtu akapapima patakatifu-dhiraa mia moja urefu. jengo lililokuwa limetengeka, kuta zake, na kwenye ua pia palipimwa dhiraa mia moja urefu.
Then the man measured the temple. It was (175 feet/53 meters) long, and the [temple] courtyard, where the large building was, including its walls was [also] (175 feet/53 meters) wide.
14 Upana wa mbele kwenye ua mbele ya patakatifu pia kulikuwa dhiraa mia moja.
The courtyard on the east side of the temple, across the front of the temple, was also (175 feet/53 meters) wide.
15 Kisha yule mtu akapima urefu wa jengo karibu na patakatifu, kwa upande wake wa magharibi, na juu ya baraza pande zote-dhiraa mia moja. Mahali patakatifu na varanda,
Then he measured the building on the west [side]. Including its walls it was also (175 feet/53 meters) wide. The outer walls of the Holy Place, the Very Holy Place, and the entry room,
16 kuta za ndani na madirisha, pamoja na madirisha madogo, na baraza za pande zote kwenye pande tatu, zilikuwa zimefungwa kwa mbao.
the inner walls above and below the windows, and the frames of the windows were all covered with [thin] panels of wood.
17 Juu ya lango la kuingilia hata patakatifu pa ndani na kuwekwa karibu na kuta kulikuwa na pazia lililokuwa limepimwa.
All the walls inside the temple were decorated [carvings of] winged creatures and palm trees: Between each figure of a winged creature was a carving of a palm tree. Each winged creature had two faces:
18 Palikuwa pamepambwa na makerubi mitende; pamoja na mitende kati ya kerubi na kerubi, na kila kerubi lilikuwa na nyuso mbili:
One was a face of a human, and one was the face of a lion. Those figures were carved on the walls all around the inside of the temple.
19 uso wa mtu aliyekuwa ameelekea mtende mmoja, na uso wa mwana simba ulitazama kuelekea mtende kwa upande mwingine. Vilifunikwa kuzunguka malango ya kuingia yote ya nyumba.
20 Kutoka chini hata juu kwenye njia ya mlango, makerubi na mtende vilifunikwa na ukuta wa nje ya nyumba.
They covered all the walls, from the floor to the top of the walls.
21 Mihimili ya lango la mahali patakatifu lilikuwa mraba. Umbo lao lilikuwa kama umbo la
At the entrance to the Holy Place of the temple there were square doorposts. In front of the Very Holy Place there was something that resembled
22 kwanza madhabahu ya mbao mbele ya mahali patakatifu, ambapo kulikuwa na dhiraa tatu kwenda juu na dhiraa urefu kwa kila upande. Pembe zake mihimili, kitako, na kiunzi kilitengenezwa kwa mbao. Kisha yule mtu akanambia, “Hii ni meza ambayo itakuwa kwa ajili ya Yahwe.”
a wooden altar. It was (5.2 feet/1.6 meters) high and (3-1/2 feet/1.1 meters) wide on all four sides. Its corners and base and sides were [all made] of wood. The man said to me, “This is the table that is in the presence of Yahweh.”
23 Kulikuwa na milango miwili kwa ajili ya mahali patakatifu na mahali patakatifu sana.
The Holy Place and the Very Holy Place had double doors.
24 Hii milango ilikuwa na bawaba mbili kila mlango paneli, paneli mbili kwa ajili ya mlango mmoja na paneli mbili kwa ajili ya mwingine.
Each doorway had two doors that [on hinges].
25 Ilifunikwa-juu ya milango ya mahali patakatifu ambapo makerubi na mti wa mtende kama kuta ilipambwa, kulikuwa na paa ya mbao juu ya varanda kwa mbele.
On the doors of the Holy Place there were carvings of winged creatures and palm trees, like those on the walls of the Holy Place. There was also a wooden roof over the front of the entry room [of the temple].
26 Kulikuwa na madidsha madogo miti ya mitende kwenye varanda pande zote. Hivyo vilikuwa vyumba vya pembeni ya nyumba, na pia ilizielekea dari.
On the side walls of the entry room were narrow windows with [figures of] palm trees [carved] on the sides of the windows. The side rooms around the temple also had roofs.
