Ezekieli 46
1 Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Lango la uzio wa ndani, linaloelekea mashariki, litafungwa kwa mda wa siku sita za kazi, lakini katika siku za Sabato litakuwa wazi, na katika siku ya mwezi mpya litafunguliwa.
Thus saith the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court that looketh towards the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened.
2 Mwana wa mfalme ataingia kwa kutumia lango la njia ya nyuma ya varanda upande wa nje, na atasimama mbele ya muhimili wa mwimo wa lango la ndani wakati makuhani wakiwa wakitengeza sadaka ya kuteketezwa na sadaka ya amani. Kisha ataabudu kwenye kizingiti cha lango la ndani na kutoka nje, lakini lango halitakuwa linafungwa hadi jioni.
And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of [that] gate without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priest shall prepare his burnt-offering and his peace-offerings, and he shall worship at the threshhold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.
3 Watu wa nchi pia wataabudu mbele ya Yahwe kwenye hili lango la kuingilia katika siku ya Sabato na siku mpya za mwezi.
Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the sabbaths and in the new moons.
4 Sadaka ya kuteketezwa ambayo mwana wa mfalme aitoayo kwa Yahwe katika siku ya Sabato itakuwa wanakondoo sita wasiokuwa na dosari na kondoo dume asiyekuwa na dosari.
And the burnt-offering that the prince shall offer to the LORD in the sabbath day [shall be] six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish.
5 Sadaka ya unga pamoja na kondoo dume itakuwa efa moja, na sadaka ya unga pamoja na wanakondoo kiasi awezacho kutoa, na hini moja ya mafuta pamoja na kila efa ya unga.
And the meat-offering [shall be] an ephah for a ram, and the meat-offering for the lambs as he shall be able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.
6 Katika siku ya mwezi mpya atatoa ng'ombe mchanga asiyekuwa na dosari kutoka kuchungwa, wanakondoo sita, na kondoo asyekuwa na dosari.
And in the day of the new moon [it shall be] a young bullock without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram: they shall be without blemish.
7 Atatengeneza sadaka ya unga ya efa moja kwa ajili ya ng'ombe na efa moja kwa ajili ya kondoo, na kwa kiasi awezacho kukitoa kwa ajili ya wanakondoo, na hini ya mafuta kwa kila efa ya unga.
And he shall prepare a meat-offering, an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs according as his hand shall be able, and a hin of oil to an ephah.
8 Wakati mwana wa mfalme atakapokuwa anaingia kwa njia ya lango lenye varanda, ataondoka kwa njia hiyo hiyo.
And when the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of [that] gate, and he shall go forth by the way of it.
9 Lakini wakati watu wa nchi watakakuja kwa Yahwe katika sikukuu zilizoteuliwa, kila mmoja kuingia kupitia kwenye lango la kaskazini kuabudu ataondoka kupitia lango la kusini; na kila atakayeingillia kupitia lango la kusini atatoka kupitia lango la kaskazini. Hakuna atakayerudia kwa lile lango aliloingilia, kwa kuwa atatoka nje moja kwa moja.
But when the people of the land shall come before the LORD in the solemn feasts, he that entereth in by the way of the north gate to worship shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate by which he came in, but shall go forth over against it.
10 Mwana wa mfalme atakuwa kati yao; watakapoingia, ataingia ndani, na watakapoondoka, atatoka nao.
And the prince in the midst of them, when they go in, shall go in; and when they go forth, shall go forth.
11 Kwenye sikukuu hizo, sadaka ya unga itakuwa efa moja ya unga kwa ng'ombe mmoja na efa moja kwa kondoo dume, na chochote atakacho kitoa pamoja na wanakondoo, na hini moja ya mafuta kwa kila efa.
And in the feasts and in the solemnities the meat-offering shall be an ephah to a bullock, and an ephah to a ram, and to the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.
12 Wakati mwana wa mfalme atakapotoa sadaka atakayojisikia kutoa, labda sadaka ya kuteketezwa au sadaka ya amani kwa Yahwe, lango la kuelekea mashariki litafunguliwa kwa ajili yake. Atatoa sadaka yake ya kuteketezwa au sadaka ya amani kama afanyavyo siku ya Sabato. Kisha atatoka nje, na baada ya kutoka lango litafungwa.
Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary burnt-offering or peace-offerings voluntarily to the LORD, [one] shall then open to him the gate that looketh towards the east, and he shall prepare his burnt-offering and his peace-offerings, as he did on the sabbath-day: then he shall go forth; and after his going forth [one] shall shut the gate.
13 Kwa kuongeza, utatoa mwanakondoo asiyekuwa na dosari mwenye umri wa mwaka mmoja kama sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa Yahwe kila siku; utafanya hivi kila asubuhi.
Thou shalt daily prepare a burnt-offering to the LORD [of] a lamb of the first year without blemish: thou shalt prepare it every morning.
14 Utatoa sadaka ya unga pamoja nayo kila asubuhi, efa sita na sehemu ya tatu ya hini ya mafuta kuchanganya na sadaka ya unga kwa ajili ya Yahwe, kulingana na sheria ilivyo.
And thou shalt prepare a meat-offering for it every morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of a hin of oil, to temper with the fine flour; a meat-offering continually by a perpetual ordinance to the LORD.
15 Watandaa mwanakondoo, sadaka ya kuteketezwa, na mafuta kila asubuhi, sadaka ya kuteketezwa ya kudumu.
Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meat-offering, and the oil, every morning [for] a continual burnt-offering.
16 Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Kama mwana wa mfalme akitoa zawadi kwa mmoja wa watoto wake, imekuwa urithi wake. Itakuwa mali ya mtoto wake, imekuwa urithi.
Thus saith the Lord GOD; If the prince shall give a gift to any of his sons, the inheritance of it shall be to his sons; it [shall be] their possession by inheritance.
17 Lakini kama akimpatia zawadi kutoka urithi wake kwa mmoja wa watumishi wake, kisha itakuwa ya huyo mtumishi mpaka mwaka wa uhuru, na kisha itarudi kwa mwana wa mfalme. Urithi wake yamkini ukawa kwa ajili ya watoto wake.
But if he shall give a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants, then it shall be his to the year of liberty; afterward it shall return to the prince: but his inheritance shall be to his sons for them.
18 Mwana wa mfalme hatawaondolea urithi wa watu kutoka kwenye mali zao wenyewe; ataandaa kwa ajili ya watoto wake mali ili kwamba watu wangu wasitawanyike, kila mtu kutoka mali kwenye yake mwenyewe.”
Moreover the prince shall not take of the people's inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their possession; [but] he shall give his sons' inheritance out of his own possession: that my people be not scattered every man from his possession.
19 Kisha yule mtu akaniletea kwenye lango la kutokea hata kwenye vyumba vitakatifu kwa ajili ya makuhani, vilivyokuwa vimeelekea kaskazini na tazama! Kulikuwa na sehemu mbele magharibi.
Afterward he brought me through the entry, which [was] at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers of the priests, which looked towards the north: and behold, there [was] a place on the two sides westward.
20 Akanambia, “Hii ndio sehemu ambayo makuhani watakapo chemshia sadaka ya hatia na sadaka ya dhambi na walipookea sadaka ya unga. Wasilete sadaka nje ya uzio, kwa kuwa watu watatakaswa.”
Then said he to me, This [is] the place where the priests shall boil the trespass-offering and the sin-offering, where they shall bake the meat-offering; that they bear [them] not out into the outer court, to sanctify the people.
21 Kisha akanileta kwenye uzio wa nje akaniongoza kuzunguka pembe nne za uzio, nikaona kwamba katika kila pembe ya uzio kulikuwa na uwanja.
Then he brought me forth into the outer court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and behold, in every corner of the court [there was] a court.
22 Katika hizo pembe nne za nje ya uzio kulikuwa na nzio nne ndogo, dhiraa arobaini urefu na thelathini upana. Ukubwa ule ule kwa nzio zote nne.
In the four corners of the court [there were] courts joined of forty [cubits] long and thirty broad: these four corners [were] of one measure.
23 Kulikuwa na safu zilizokuwa zimetengenezwa kwa mawe kuzizunguka zote nne, na meko ya kupikia ilikuwa chini ya safu ya jiwe.
And [there was] a row [of building] around in them, around them four, and [it was] made with boiling places under the rows around.
24 Yule mtu akanambia, “Hizi ndizo sehemu ambazo watumishi watachemshia dhabihu za watu.”
Then said he to me, These [are] the places of them that boil, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.
