Ezekiel 40

1 Sa ikadalawampu't limang taon ng ating pagkabihag sa simula ng taon sa ika-sampung araw ng buwan, sa ikalabing-apat na taon matapos mabihag ang lungsod. Sa araw ding iyon, nasa akin ang kamay ni Yahweh at dinala 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 Dinala ako ng Diyos sa lupain ng Israel sa pamamagitan ng mga pangitain. Dinala niya ako upang tumuntong sa isang napakataas na bundok; sa timog ay ang mga tulad ng gusali ng isang lungsod.

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. Masdan mo, may lumitaw na isang lalaki na tulad ng tanso. May linong panali at isang patpat na panukat sa kaniyang kamay at nakatayo siya sa tarangkahan ng lungsod.

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 Sinabi sa akin ng lalaki, “Anak ng tao, tumingin ka sa pamamagitan ng iyong mga mata at makinig ka sa pamamagitan ng iyong mga tainga at ituon mo ang iyong isipan sa lahat ng inihahayag ko sa iyo sapagkat dinala ka rito upang ihayag ko sa iyo ang mga ito. Ipamalita mo sa sambahayan ng Israel ang lahat ng makikita mo.”

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 Mayroong pader sa palibot ng templo at may isang panukat na patpat sa kamay ng lalaki, anim na siko ang haba—ang bawat “mahabang” siko ay katumbas ng isang siko at isang dangkal. Sinukat ng lalaki ang lawak ng pader, isang patpat ang lawak at isang patpat ang taas.

[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 At pumunta siya sa tarangkahan ng templo na nakaharap sa silangan at umakyat sa mga baitang nito. Sinukat niya ang pasukan ng tarangkahan, isang patpat ang lalim.

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 Isang patpat ang haba at isang patpat ang lapad ng mga silid ng mga tagapagbantay, limang siko ang pagitan ng dalawang silid ng mga tagapagbantay. At isang patpat ang lalim ng pasukan ng templo patungo sa portiko ng templo.

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 Sinukat niya ang portiko ng tarangkahan, isang patpat ang haba nito.

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

9 Sinukat niya ang portiko ng tarangkahan, isang patpat ang lalim nito. At dalawang siko ang lawak ng mga haligi ng pinto. Ito ang portiko ng tarangkahan na nakaharap sa templo.

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 Tatlo ang bilang ng mga silid ng mga tagapagbantay sa magkabilang bahagi ng tarangkahan at pareho ang sukat ng mga ito at pareho rin ang sukat ng pader na naghihiwalay sa lahat ng mga ito mula sa isa't isa.

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 sinukat ng lalaki ang lapad ng pasukan ng tarangkahan—sampung siko at sinukat niya ang haba ng pasukan ng tarangkahan—labintatlong 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 Sinukat niya ang pader na nakapalibot sa harapan ng mga silid, isang siko ang taas. At ang mga silid, anim na siko sa bawat bahagi.

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 Pagkatapos, sinukat niya ang pasukan ng tarangkahan, mula sa bubong ng isang silid hanggang sa kasunod na silid—dalawampu't-limang siko, mula sa pasukan ng unang silid hanggang sa pangalawa.

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 At sinukat niya ang pader na patungo sa pagitan ng mga silid ng tagapagbantay, animnapung siko ang haba. Sinukat niya hanggang sa portiko ng tarangkahan.

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 Limampung siko ang pasukan mula sa harapan ng tarangkahan hanggang sa kabilang dulo ng portiko ng tarangkahan.

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 Mayroong masisikip na bintana sa mga silid at sa mga pader na naghihiwalay sa mga ito, gayundin sa portiko at nasa panloob na bahagi ang lahat ng mga bintana. Mayroong mga nakaukit na puno ng palma sa mga pader.

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 Pagkatapos, dinala ako ng lalaki sa panlabas na patyo ng templo. Masdan mo, mayroong mga silid at mayroong latag na bato sa patyo, may tatlumpung silid kasunod ng latag na bato.

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 Pataas ang latag na bato patungo sa bahagi ng mga tarangkahan at pareho ang lapad nito sa haba ng mga tarangkahan. Ito ang pang-ibabang latag na bato.

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 At sinukat ng lalaki ang layo mula sa harapan ng pang-ibabang tarangkahan hanggang sa harapan ng panloob na tarangkahan; isandaang siko ito sa silangang bahagi at gayundin naman sa hilagang bahagi.

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 sinukat niya ang haba at lapad ng tarangkahan na nasa hilaga ng panlabas na patyo.

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 Mayroong tatlong silid sa bawat bahagi ng tarangkahan na iyon at pareho ang sukat ng tarangkahan at ng portiko nito sa pangunahing tarangkahan, limampung siko ang kabuuang haba at dalawampu't limang siko ang lapad.

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 Halos katumbas ng nasa tarangkahan na nakaharap sa silangan ang mga bintana nito, portico, mga silid at ang mga puno ng palma nito. Pitong baitang paakyat dito at sa portico nito.

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 May isang tarangkahan patungo sa panloob na patyo sa harap ng tarangkahan na nakaharap sa hilaga gaya rin ng tarangkahan sa silangan. Sinukat ng lalaki mula sa isang tarangkahan hanggang sa isa pang tarangkahan, isandaang siko ang layo.

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 Pagkatapos, dinala ako ng lalaki sa tarangkahan ng timog na pasukan, pareho sa panlabas na tarangkahan ang sukat ng mga pader at ng portico.

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 Mayroong mga masisikip na bintana sa pasukan ng tarangkahan at sa portiko nito gaya ng nasa tarangkahang iyon. Limampung siko ang haba at dalawapu't limang siko ang lapad ng tarangkahan sa timog at ng portiko nito.

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 Mayroong pitong baitang pataas patungo sa tarangkahan at sa portico nito at may mga nakaukit na puno ng palma sa magkabilang bahagi ng mga pader.

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 Mayroong tarangkahan patungo sa panloob na patyo sa bahaging timog at sinukat ng lalaki mula sa tarangkahang iyon hanggang sa tarangkahan ng pasukan sa timog, isandaang siko ang layo.

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 At dinala ako ng lalaki sa panloob na patyo sa pamamagitan ng daanan sa tarangkahan sa timog na pareho ang sukat sa iba pang mga tarangkahan.

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 Pareho ang sukat ng mga silid, mga pader at mga portiko nito sa iba pang mga tarangkahan; mayroong mga bintana sa buong palibot ng portiko. Limampung siko ang haba at dalawampu't limang siko ang lawak ng panloob na tarangkahan at ng portiko nito.

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 May mga portiko rin sa buong palibot ng panloob na pader. Dalawampu't lima ang haba ng mga ito at limang siko ang lawak.

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 Nakaharap sa panlabas na patyo ang portiko na ito na may nakaukit na mga puno ng palma sa mga pader nito at walong baitang patungo sa itaas nito.

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 ako ng lalaki sa panloob na patyo sa pamamagitan ng silangang daanan at sinukat ang tarangkahan na pareho ang sukat sa iba pang mga tarangkahan.

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 Pareho ang sukat ng mga silid, mga pader at portiko nito sa iba pang mga tarangkahan at mayroong mga bintana sa buong palibot. Limampung siko ang haba at dalawampu't limang siko ang lawak ng panloob na tarangkahan at ng portiko nito.

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

34 Nakaharap sa panlabas na patyo ang portiko nito. Mayroong mga puno ng palma sa magkabilang bahagi nito at walong baitang patungo sa itaas nito.

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 Pagkatapos, dinala ako ng lalaki sa tarangkahan sa hilaga at sinukat ito, pareho ang sukat nito sa iba pang mga tarangkahan.

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

36 Pareho ang sukat ng mga silid, mga pader at portiko nito sa iba pang mga tarangkahan at may mga bintana sa buong palibot. Limampung siko ang haba at dalawampu't limang siko ang lawak ng daanan sa tarangkahan at ng portico nito.

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 Nakaharap ang portiko nito sa panlabas na patyo, mayroong mga puno ng palma sa magkabilaang bahagi nito at walong baitang patungo sa itaas nito.

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 May isang silid na may pinto patungo sa bawat panloob na daanan ng tarangkahan. Dito nila nililinis ang mga alay 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 May dalawang hapag sa magkabilang bahagi ng portiko kung saan kinakatay ang alay na susunugin at gayundin ang alay para sa kasalanan at ang alay para 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 May dalawang hapag sa tabi ng pader ng patyo, pataas patungo sa tarangkahan sa hilaga. Mayroon ding dalawang hapag sa kabilang bahagi, sa portico ng tarangkahan.

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 Mayroong apat na hapag sa magkabilang bahagi ng tarangkahan. Kinakatay nila ang mga hayop sa walong hapag.

[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 Mayroong apat na hapag na tinapyas na bato para sa mga handog na susunugin, isa at kalahating siko ang haba, isa at kalahating siko ang lawak at isang siko ang taas. Inilatag nila sa mga ito ang mga kagamitan kung saan nila sinusunog ang mga alay na susunugin para sa mga handog.

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 Nakalagay sa palibot ng portiko ang kalawit na may dalawang ngipin na isang dangkal ang haba at ilalagay sa mga hapag ang laman ng mga 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 Malapit sa panloob na tarangkahan, sa panloob na patyo ay mayroong mga silid ng mga mang-aawit. Nasa dakong hilaga ang isa sa mga silid na ito at nasa timog ang isa.

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

45 At sinabi sa akin ng lalaki, “Para sa mga pari na naglilingkod sa templo ang silid na ito na nakaharap sa timog.

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 para naman sa mga pari na naglilingkod sa altar ang silid na nakaharap sa hilaga. Ito ang mga anak ni Zadok na lumapit kay Yahweh upang paglingkuran siya; kabilang sila sa mga anak ni Levi.”

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 Pagkatapos, sinukat niya ang patyo, isandaang siko ang haba at isandaang siko ang lawak sa isang kuwadrado na may altar sa harapan ng tahanan.

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 At dinala ako ng lalaki sa portiko ng tahanan at sinukat niya ang mga haligi ng pinto, limang siko ang kapal sa magkabilang bahagi. Ang pasukan mismo ay labing-apat na siko ang lawak, at tatlong siko ang lawak ng mga pader sa bawat bahagi nito.

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 Dalawampung siko ang haba at labing-isang siko ang lalim ng portiko ng santuwaryo. May mga baitang patungo sa itaas nito at mga haligi na nakatayo sa magkabilang bahagi nito.

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.
