Ezekiel 40

1 Nang ikadalawang pu't limang taon ng aming pagkabihag, nang pasimula ng taon, nang ikasangpung araw ng buwan, nang ikalabing apat na taon pagkatapos na ang bayan ay masaktan nang kaarawang yaon, ang kamay ng Panginoon ay sumaakin, at dinala niya ako roon.

Almost 25 years after we had been [to Babylonia], on the tenth day of the first month of that year, almost 14years after Jerusalem had been destroyed, in a vision [I felt] the power [MTY] of Yahweh on me, and he took me to Israel.

2 Sa mga pangitain na mula sa Dios ay dinala niya ako sa lupain ng Israel, at inilagay ako sa totoong mataas na bundok, na kinaroroonan ng parang isang bayan sa timugan.

He set me on a very high mountain. On the south side of that mountain there were some buildings that appeared to be [part of] a city.

3 At dinala niya ako roon; at, narito, may isang lalake na ang anyo ay parang anyo ng tanso, na may pising lino sa kaniyang kamay, at isang panukat na tambo; at siya'y natayo sa pintuang-bayan.

When he took there, I saw a man whose face was like [SIM] bronze. He was standing in the entrance [of a building]. He had a linen cord and a measuring stick in his hand.

4 At sinabi ng lalake sa akin, Anak ng tao, tumingin ka ng iyong mga mata, at makinig ka ng iyong mga pakinig, at ilagak mo ang iyong puso sa lahat na aking ipakikita sa iyo; sapagka't sa haka na aking mga maipakikita sa iyo ay dinala ka rito: ipahayag mo ang lahat na iyong nakikita sa sangbahayan ni Israel.

He said to me, “You human, look carefully at everything that I am going to show you, and pay attention to everything that I say and everything that I will show you, because that is why you have been brought here. [And then later] you must tell the Israeli people everything that you have seen [here].”

5 At, narito; isang kuta sa dakong labas ng bahay sa palibot, at sa kamay ng lalake ay isang panukat na tambo na may anim na siko ang haba, na tigisang siko at isang dangkal ang luwang ng bawa't isa: sa gayo'y kaniyang sinukat ang luwang ng bahay, na isang tambo; at ang taas, isang tambo.

[In the vision I saw that] there was a wall that completely surrounded the temple area. The measuring stick in the man’s hand was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) long. He measured the wall: It was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) thick and (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) high.

6 Nang magkagayo'y naparoon siya sa pintuang-daan, na nakaharap sa dakong silanganan, at sumampa sa mga baytang niyaon: at kaniyang sinukat ang pasukan sa pintuang-daan, isang tambo ang luwang; at ang kabilang pasukan, isang tambo ang luwang.

Then he went to the entryway on the east [side of the temple]. He climbed the steps and measured the outer threshold/opening for the entryway: It was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) deep.

7 At bawa't silid ng bahay ay isang tambo ang haba, at isang tambo ang luwang; at ang pagitan ng mga silid ng bantay ay limang siko; at ang pasukan sa pintuang-daan sa tabi ng portiko sa pintuang-daan sa dako ng bahay ay isang tambo.

Next, there was an entry hallway with [three] (alcoves/very small rooms) along each side [where the guards stood]. Each of the alcoves was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) on each side. There was a dividing wall between each alcove that was (8-3/4 feet/2.7 meters) wide. At the end of the entry hallway was the inner threshold/opening for the entryway, (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) deep. It led to the entry room [to the inner courtyard] and faced the temple.

8 Kaniya rin namang sinukat ang portiko sa pintuang-daan sa dakong bahay, isang tambo.

Then he measured the entry room at the end of the entry hallway.

9 Nang magkagayo'y sinukat niya ang portiko sa pintuang-daan, walong siko; at ang mga haligi niyaon, dalawang siko; at ang portiko sa pintuang-daan ay nasa dako ng bahay.

It was about (14 feet/4.2 meters) long, and its supporting columns were (3-1/2 feet/1.1 meters) thick. The entry room of the entryway was at the end of the entry hallway that faced the temple [and extended into the courtyard].

10 At ang mga silid ng bantay ng pintuang-daan sa dakong silanganan ay tatlo sa dakong ito, at tatlo sa dakong yaon; ang tatlo ay iisang sukat: at ang mga haligi ng pintuan ay iisang sukat sa dakong ito, at sa dakong yaon.

Inside the east entryway there were three alcoves on each side of the entry hallway. They each had the same length and width. And the measurements of the walls that divided the alcoves were all identical.

11 At kaniyang sinukat ang luwang ng pasukan ng pintuang-daan, sangpung siko; at ang haba ng pintuang-daan, labing tatlong siko;

Then he measured the threshold/opening for the entryway: It was (17-1/2 feet/5.3 meters) wide, and the entry hallway [between the alcoves] was (22-3/4 feet/6.9 meters) wide.

12 At ang pagitan sa harap ng mga silid ng bantay, isang siko sa dakong ito, at ang isang pagitan, isang siko sa dakong yaon; at ang mga silid ng bantay, anim na siko sa dakong ito, at anim na siko sa dakong yaon;

In front of each alcove was a low wall about (21 inches/53 cm.) high, and the alcoves were (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) on each side.

13 At kaniyang sinukat ang pintuang-daan mula sa bubungan ng isang silid ng bantayan hanggang sa bubungan ng kabila, may luwang na dalawang pu't limang siko; pintuan sa tapat ng pintuan.

Then he measured the width of the roof of the entrance hallway, the distance between the rear wall of one alcove to the rear wall of the opposite alcove, [including the supporting walls along each side]. It was (43-3/4 feet/13.3 meters).

14 Gumawa naman siya ng mga haligi ng pintuan, na anim na pung siko; at ang looban ay hanggang sa haligi, ang pintuang-daan ay sa palibot.

Then he measured all along the dividing walls between the alcoves all along the inside of the entry hallway: It was (105 feet/31.8 meters). He measured as far as the entry room of the entryway.

15 At mula sa harap ng pintuang-daan sa pasukan hanggang sa harap ng pinakaloob na portiko sa pintuang-daan ay limang pung siko.

The length from [outer] opening of the entryway to the far end of the entry room was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters).

16 At may makikipot na dungawan sa mga silid ng bantay, at sa mga haligi ng mga yaon sa loob ng pintuang-daan sa palibot, at gayon din sa mga hubog; at ang mga dungawan ay nangasa palibot sa dakong loob; at sa bawa't haligi ay may mga puno ng palma.

There were [small] windows in the outside walls of all the alcoves, and also in the inner dividing walls between the alcoves. There were also small windows in the entry room. The dividing walls were decorated with [carvings of] palm trees.

17 Nang magkagayo'y dinala niya ako sa loob ng looban sa labas; at, narito, may mga silid at may isang lapag na ginawa sa palibot ng looban: tatlong pung silid ang nasa lapag.

Then [in the vision] he brought me to the outer courtyard. There I saw some rooms, and a stone path/pavement along the walls around the courtyard. There were thirty rooms along the path.

18 At ang lapag ay nasa tabi ng mga pintuang-daan, ayon sa haba ng mga pintuang-daan, sa makatuwid baga'y ang lalong mababang lapag.

The stone path was all around the courtyard, and it extended out from the walls into the courtyard for the same distance as the entry room [of the entryway]. That was the lower path.

19 Nang magkagayo'y kaniyang sinukat ang luwang mula sa harap ng lalong mababang pintuang-daan hanggang sa harap ng pinakaloob na looban sa may labas, na isang daang siko, sa dakong silanganan at gayon din sa dakong hilagaan.

Then the man measured the distance [across the outer courtyard of the temple], between the inner [entrance of] the entryway and [the wall surrounding the] inner courtyard: It was (175 feet/53 meters) [on the east side and on the north side of the courtyard].

20 At ang pintuang-daan ng looban sa labas na nakaharap sa dakong hilagaan, kaniyang sinukat ang haba niyaon at ang luwang niyaon.

Then he measured how long and how wide was the entryway that was on the north side, the entrance into the outer courtyard [of the temple].

21 At ang mga silid ng bantay niyaon ay tatlo sa dakong ito at tatlo sa dakong yaon; at ang mga haligi niyaon at ang mga hubog niyaon ay ayon sa sukat ng unang pintuang-daan: ang haba niyaon ay limang pung siko, at ang luwang ay dalawang pu't limang siko.

There were three alcoves on each side of the entryway hall. The measurements of the alcoves, the dividing walls between the alcoves, and the entry room were the same as as those in the first entryway. The length from [outer] opening of the entryway to the far end of the entry room was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters). The entryway was (43-3/4 feet/13.3 meters) wide.

22 At ang mga dungawan niyaon, at ang mga hubog niyaon, at ang mga puno ng palma niyaon ay ayon sa sukat ng pintuang-daan na nakaharap sa dakong silanganan; at kanilang sinampa ng pitong baytang; at ang mga hubog niyaon ay nangasa harap nila.

Its windows and the entry room and the palm tree [decorations all] measured the same as the ones on the east [side]. There were seven steps up to the outer threshold/opening for the entryway, and an entry room was at the other end of the entryway.

23 At may pintuang-daan sa lalong loob na looban sa tapat ng kabilang pintuang-daan, sa dakong hilagaan at gayon din sa dakong silanganan; at kaniyang sinukat mula sa pintuang-daan hanggang sa pintuang-daan na isang daang siko.

There was an entryway to the inner courtyard that faces the north entryway, like there was on the east [side]. The man measured [the distance] from [the north] entryway to the entryway [on the other side]; it was (175 feet/53 meters).

24 At dinala niya ako sa dakong timugan; at, narito, ang isang pintuang-daan sa dakong timugan: at kaniyang sinukat ang mga haligi niyaon, at ang mga hubog niyaon ayon sa mga sukat na ito.

Then he brought me through the south entryway [into the outer courtyard], and he measured it. It measured the same as the other entryways. Its alcoves, its dividing walls between the alcoves, and its entry room measured the same as the ones on the other sides.

25 At may mga dungawan doon at sa mga hubog niyaon sa palibot, gaya ng mga dungawang yaon: ang haba ay limang pung siko, at ang luwang ay dalawang pu't limang siko.

The alcoves and the entry room had [narrow] windows along the walls, like on the other [sides]. The length [of the outer opening of the] entryway [to the far end of the entry room was] was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) and the entryway was (43-3/4 feet/13.3 meters) wide.

26 At may pitong baytang na sampahan, at ang mga hubog niyaon ay nangasa harap ng mga yaon; at may mga puno ng palma; sa dakong ito, at isa sa dakong yaon, sa mga haligi niyaon.

There were seven steps up to the outer threshold/opening for the entryway, and an entry room was (opposite it/at the end of the entryway facing the courtyard). It [also] had [carvings of] palm trees on the dividing walls that were between the alcoves.

27 At may pintuang-daan sa lalong loob na looban sa dakong timugan: at kaniyang sinukat mula sa pintuang-daan hanggang sa pintuang-daan sa dakong timugan na isang daang siko.

The inner courtyard also had an entryway on the south [side]. He measured from that entryway to the entrance on the south [side of the outer courtyard; it was also] (175 feet/53 meters).

28 Nang magkagayo'y dinala niya ako sa lalong loob na looban sa tabi ng pintuang-daan sa timugan: at kaniyang sinukat ang pintuang-daang timugan ayon sa mga sukat ding ito;

Then [in the vision] he brought me through the south entryway into the inner courtyard, and he measured the south entryway. It measured the same as the other [entryways].

29 At ang mga silid ng bantay niyaon, at ang mga hubog niyaon, ay ayon sa mga sukat na ito: at may mga dungawan yaon, at gayon din sa mga hubog niyaon sa palibot; may limang pung siko ang haba, at dalawang pu't limang siko ang luwang.

Its alcoves [along the entry hallway], its dividing walls [between the alcoves], and its entry room measured the same as [the ones on] the other [sides]. The alcoves and the entry room had windows. The length [of the outer opening of the] entryway [to the far end of the entry room was] was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) and the entryway was (43-3/4 feet/13.3 meters) wide.

30 At may mga hubog sa palibot, na dalawang pu't limang siko ang haba, at limang siko ang luwang.

The entry rooms around [the inner courtyard] were (43-3/4 feet/13.3 meters) wide and (8.7 feet/2.6 meters) long.

31 At ang mga hubog niyaon ay nangasa dako ng looban sa labas; at mga puno ng palma ang nangasa mga haligi niyaon: at ang sampahan ay may walong baytang.

The entry room faced the outer courtyard. There were [carvings of] palm trees that decorated the columns, and there were eight steps [up] to the entryway.

32 At dinala niya ako sa lalong loob na looban sa dakong silanganan; at sinukat niya ang pintuang-daan ayon sa mga sukat na ito.

Then he led me to the east side of the inner courtyard, and he measured the entrance. It had the same measurements as the other [entrances]

33 At ang mga silid ng bantay niyaon, at ang mga haligi niyaon, at ang mga hubog niyaon, ayon sa mga sukat na ito: at may mga dungawan sa loob at sa mga hubog niyaon sa palibot: may limang pung siko ang haba, at dalawang pu't limang siko ang luwang.

Its alcoves and dividing walls and entry room measured the same as the others.

34 At ang mga hubog niyaon ay nangasa dako ng looban sa labas; at mga puno ng palma ang nangasa mga haligi niyaon, sa dakong ito, at sa dakong yaon: at ang sampahan ay may walong baytang.

Its entry room faced the outer courtyard. It also had carvings of palm trees that decorated the walls, and it had eight steps up to it.

35 At dinala niya ako sa pintuang-daang hilagaan: at sinukat niya ayon sa mga sukat na ito;

Then he led me to the entrance on the north side and measured it. It measured the same as the other entrances.

36 Ang mga silid ng bantay niyaon, ang mga haligi niyaon, at ang mga hubog niyaon: at may mga dungawan sa loob sa palibot; ang haba ay limang pung siko, at ang luwang ay dalawang pu't limang siko.

And its alcoves and walls between them and the entry room all had [small] windows in the walls. It was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) long and (43.7 feet/13.3 meters) wide.

37 At ang mga haligi niyaon ay nangasa dako ng looban sa labas; at mga puno ng palma ang nangasa haligi niyaon, sa dakong ito, at sa dakong yaon: at ang sampahan ay may walong baytang.

Its entry room faced the outer courtyard. There were [carvings of] palm trees that decorated its walls, and there were eight steps [up] to the entryway.

38 At isang silid na may pintuan ay nasa tabi ng mga haligi sa mga pintuang-daan; doon sila naghugas ng handog na susunugin.

[In the vision, I saw that] in the inner entry room of the north entryway there was a door to a side room. That side room was where the [carcasses of the] animals that would be burned completely [on the altar] were washed.

39 At sa portiko ng pintuang-daan ay may dalawang dulang sa dakong ito, at dalawang dulang sa dakong yaon, upang patayin doon ang handog na susunugin, at ang handog dahil sa kasalanan at ang handog dahil sa pagkakasala.

In the entry room, there were two tables on each side [of the room]. On those tables would be slaughtered the animals that would be completely burned, and the animals for offerings for sins that people had committed, and offerings to cause people to longer be guilty for having sinned.

40 At sa isang dako sa labas na gaya ng kung sasampa sa pasukan ng pintuang-daan sa dakong hilagaan ay may dalawang dulang; at sa kabilang dako, na ukol sa portiko ng pintuang-daan, ay may dalawang dulang.

Along the outside wall of the entry room, on each side of the steps at the opening to the entryway on the north side, were two tables.

41 Apat na dulang sa dakong ito, at apat na dulang sa dakong yaon sa tabi ng pintuang-daan; walong dulang ang kanilang pinagpatayan ng mga hain.

[So] there were four tables outside the entrance and four tables inside the entry room, on which the [animals to be] sacrificed were slaughtered.

42 At may apat na dulang na ukol sa handog na susunugin, na batong tinabas, na isang siko at kalahati ang haba, at isang siko at kalahati ang luwang, at isang siko ang taas; na kanilang pinaglapagan ng mga kasangkapan na kanilang ipinagpatay sa handog na susunugin at sa hain.

There were also four tables of cut stone for the offerings to be completely burned, (31-1/2 in./80 cm.) on each side and (21 in./53 cm.) high. On those stone tables would be placed the tools for slaughtering all the animals for the sacrifices.

43 At ang mga pangipit na may isang lapad ng kamay ang haba, ay natitibayan sa loob sa palibot; at nasa ibabaw ng mga dulang ang laman na alay.

The meat for the offerings would be placed on [stone] tables. There were hooks [on which the meat was hung], each with two prongs, each (3 in./8 cm.) long, fastened to the walls [of the entry room].

44 At sa labas ng lalong loob na pintuang-daan ay may mga silid na ukol sa mga mangaawit sa lalong loob na looban, na nasa tabi ng pintuang-daang hilagaan; at mga nakaharap sa timugan; isa sa dako ng silanganang daan na nahaharap sa dakong hilagaan.

Outside the inner entryway, inside the inner courtyard, were two rooms, one on the north side and one on the south side.

45 At kaniyang sinabi sa akin, Ang silid na ito na nakaharap sa dakong timugan, ay sa mga saserdote, sa mga namamahala sa bahay;

The man said to me, “The room whose door faces south is for the priests who are in charge of the work in the temple.

46 At ang silid na nakaharap sa dakong hilagaan ay sa mga saserdote, na mga namamahala sa dambana: ang mga ito ay mga anak ni Sadoc, na sa mga anak ni Levi ay nagsilapit sa Panginoon upang magsipangasiwa sa kaniya.

The room whose door faces north is for the priests who are in charge of [the work at] the altar. They are the descendants of Zadok; they are the only descendants of Levi who are permitted to approach Yahweh while they work for him.”

47 At sinukat niya ang looban na isang daang siko ang haba, at isang daang siko ang luwang, parisukat; at ang dambana ay nasa harap ng bahay.

Then he measured the courtyard: It was square, (175 feet/53 meters) long and (175 feet/53 meters) wide. The altar was in front of the temple.

48 Nang magkagayo'y dinala niya ako sa portiko ng bahay, at sinukat niya ang bawa't haligi ng portiko na limang siko sa dakong ito, at limang siko sa dakong yaon: at ang luwang ng pintuang-daan ay tatlong siko sa dakong ito, at tatlong siko sa dakong yaon.

Then [in the vision] he brought me to the entry room of the temple, and measured the walls on each side of the entrance: They were (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) thick. The entrance was (24-1/2 feet/7.4 meters) wide, and the walls on each side of the entrance were (5-1/4 feet/1.6 meters) long.

49 Ang haba ng portiko ay dalawang pung siko, at ang luwang ay labing isang siko: kahit sa pamamagitan ng mga baytang na kanilang sinampahan: at may mga haligi, isa sa dakong ito, at isa sa dakong yaon.

The entry room was (35 feet/10.6 meters) wide on each side. There were ten steps up to it, and there were pillars on each side of the entrance.
