ʻIsikieli 40

1 ‌ʻI hono uofulu ma nima taʻu ʻo ʻemau pōpula, ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻoe taʻu, ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina, ʻi hono hongofulu ma fā ʻoe taʻu, hili ʻae taaʻi ʻoe kolo, ʻi he ʻaho pe ko ia ne hilifaki ʻae nima ʻo Sihova kiate au, ʻo ne ʻomi au ki heni.

In the twenty-fifth year of our transmigration, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was struck, on this very day, the hand of the Lord was placed upon me, and he brought me to that place.

2 Ne ʻomi au ʻi he ngaahi meʻa hā mai mei he ʻOtua ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli, pea ne tuku au ki he funga moʻunga māʻolunga ʻaupito, pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae meʻa ʻo hangē ko e kolo ʻi hono feituʻu tonga.

In the visions of God, he brought me into the land of Israel, and he released me on an exceedingly high mountain, on which there was something like the edifice of a city, verging toward the south.

3 Pea ne ʻomi au ki ai, pea vakai, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangata, ʻaia naʻe tatau ʻene hā mai mo e ha ngingila ʻae palasa, naʻe ʻi hono nima ʻae afo fua, mo e kaho ke fua ʻaki pea naʻa ne tuʻu ʻi he matapā.

And he led me into that place. And behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a linen rope in his hand, and a measuring reed in his hand. And he was standing at the gate.

4 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tangata kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, vakai ʻaki ho mata, pea fanongo ho telinga, pea tokanga ʻaupito ho loto ki he meʻa kotoa pē te u fakahā kiate koe; he kuo u ʻomi koe ki heni, koeʻuhi ke u fakahā ia kiate koe: pea ke ke fakahā ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke mamata ki ai.”

And the same man said to me: “Son of man, look with your eyes, and listen with your ears, and set your heart upon all that I will reveal to you. For you have been brought to this place, so that these things may be revealed to you. Announce all that you see to the house of Israel.”

5 Pea vakai, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ʻāʻi he tuʻa fale naʻe takatakaiʻaki, pea naʻe ʻi he nima ʻoe tangata ʻae kaho ke fuofua ʻaki, ko e kiupite ʻe ono ʻa hono lōloa ʻi he kiupite ʻoku fakalahi ʻaki ʻae ʻaofi nima kātoa ʻe taha: pea pehē naʻa ne fua ʻae māukupu ʻoe ʻā, ko e tatau mo e kaho ʻe taha; pea ko hono māʻolunga ko e kaho ʻe taha.

And behold, there was a wall outside of the house, encircling it all around, and in the man’s hand was a measuring reed of six cubits and a palm. And he measured the width of the edifice with one reed; likewise, the height with one reed.

6 Pea ne toki haʻu ia ki he matapā ʻaia ʻoku hangatonu ki he potu hahake, pea ne ʻalu hake ʻi hono hala tuʻunga, pea ne fua ʻae ʻatā ʻoe matapā, ko e kaho ʻe taha hono laulahi; pea mo e ʻatā ʻoe matapā kehe ʻe taha, ko e kaho ʻe taha hono laulahi.

And he went to the gate which looked toward the east, and he ascended by its steps. And he measured the width of the threshold of the gate as one reed, that is, one threshold was one reed in width.

7 Pea ko e kihiʻi potu fale kotoa pē naʻe taki taha ʻae kaho pe taha hono lōloa, mo e kaho ʻe taha ʻa hono ʻatā; pea ko e vahaʻa ʻoe ngaahi potu fale siʻi ko e kiupite ʻe nima; pea ko e hūʻanga ʻoe matapā ʻi he veʻe fale hala ʻoe matapā ki loto, ko e kaho ʻe taha.

And a chamber was one reed in length and one reed in width. And between the chambers, there were five cubits.

8 Naʻa ne fua foki ʻae fale hala ʻoe matapā ki loto, ko e kaho ia ʻe taha.

And the threshold of the gate, next to the inner vestibule of the gate, was one reed.

9 Naʻa ne fua foki ʻae fale hala ʻoe matapā, ko e kiupite ʻe valu; pea ko hono pou ʻo ia, ko e kiupite ʻe ua; pea naʻe tuʻu ki loto ʻae fale hala ʻoe matapā.

And he measured the vestibule of the gate as eight cubits, and its front as two cubits. But the vestibule of the gate was inside.

10 Pea ko e ngaahi kihiʻi potu fale ʻoe matapā fakahahake ko e tolu ʻi he potu mai ki heni, pea tolu ki he potu ko ʻena; pea naʻe fuofua tatau ʻae tolu ko ia: pea naʻe tatau ʻae fua ʻoe pou ʻi he potu ko eni, mo e potu ko ʻena.

Moreover, the chambers of the gate, toward the way of the east, were three from one side to the other. The three were of one measure, and the fronts were of one measure, on both sides.

11 Pea naʻa ne fua hono ʻatā ʻoe matapā, ko e kiupite ʻe hongofulu; pea mo hono lōloa ʻoe matapā, ko e kiupite ʻe hongofulu ma tolu.

And he measured the width of the threshold of the gate as ten cubits, and the length of the gate as thirteen cubits.

12 Ko e ngataʻanga ʻo hono ʻatā ki muʻa ʻi he ngaahi fale siʻi, ko e kiupite ʻe taha ʻi he potu mai ki heni, mo e kiupite ʻe taha hono ʻatā ki hena: pea ko e ngaahi kihiʻi fale ko e kiupite ʻe ono ʻi hono potu ki heni, pea ono hono kiupite ʻi hono potu ki hena.

And before the chambers, the border was one cubit. And on both sides, the border was one cubit. But the chambers were six cubits, from one side to the other.

13 Hili ia naʻa ne fuofua ʻae matapā mei he tuʻa fale ʻoe fale siʻi ʻe taha ki he taha kehe: pea ko hono laulahi mei he matapā ʻe taha ki he matapā ʻe taha, ko e kiupite ʻe uofulu ma nima.

And he measured the gate, from the roof of one chamber to the roof of another, twenty-five cubits in width, from door to door.

14 Naʻa ne fua foki ʻae ʻotu pou ko e kiupite ʻe tolungofulu, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki he pou ʻoku takatakai ʻae hūʻanga ʻoe matapā.

And he found the fronts to be sixty cubits. And at the front, there was a court for the gate on every side all around.

15 Pea ko hono fua mei he mata fale mei he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā ʻo aʻu ki he mata fale ʻoe fale hala ʻi he matapā ki loto, ko e kiupite ʻe nimangofulu ia.

And before the face of the gate, which extended even to the face of the vestibule of the gate of the interior, there were fifty cubits.

16 Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi kātupa fasiʻi ki he ngaahi kihiʻi fale, pea ʻi hono ngaahi pou naʻe tuʻu takatakai ʻi he matapā ki loto, pea ki hono ngaahi pou afeafefua, pea naʻe takatakai ia ʻi he ngaahi matapā ʻi loto fale: pea naʻe tongi ʻae fakatātā ki he ʻakau ko e ponga ʻi hono ngaahi pou.

And there were slanting windows in the chambers and at their fronts, which were within the gate on every side all around. And similarly, there were also windows in the vestibules all around the interior, and there were images of palm trees before the fronts.

17 Pea ne toki ʻave au ki he lotoʻā kituʻa, pea vakai naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi potu fale, pea naʻe faliki ʻaki ʻae maka ʻae lotoʻā ʻo takatakai hake ai: pea naʻe tuʻu ki he potu naʻe faliki ʻae ngaahi potu fale ʻe tolungofulu.

And he led me away to the outer court, and behold, there were storerooms and a layer of pavement stones throughout the court. Thirty storerooms encircled the pavement.

18 Pea ko e faliki ʻi he veʻe matapā ʻaia naʻe feangai mo e potu fakalōloa ʻoe ngaahi matapā, ko e faliki ia ki lalo.

And the pavement in front of the gates, along the length of the gates, was lower.

19 Hili ia naʻa ne fuofua ʻa hono vaʻatā mei he potu kituʻa ʻoe matapā ki lalo ʻo aʻu ki he potu kituʻa ʻoe lotoʻā ki loto, ko e kiupite ʻe teau ia, ki he potu hahake pea mo e tokelau.

And he measured the width, from the face of the lower gate to the front of the outer part of the inner court, to be one hundred cubits, to the east and to the north.

20 Pea naʻa ne fuofua ʻae lōloa mo e laulahi ʻoe matapā ʻoe lotoʻā kituʻa, ʻaia naʻe hangatonu ki he feituʻu tokelau.

Likewise, he measured the gate of the outer court, which looked to the way of the north, to be as much in length as in width.

21 Pea ko hono ngaahi kihiʻi fale ʻoʻona naʻe tolu ʻi hono potu ko eni, pea tolu ʻi hono potu ko ʻena; pea ko hono ngaahi pou mo hono pou afeafefua naʻe fua ʻo tatau mo e ʻuluaki matapā: ko e kiupite ʻe nimangofulu ʻa hono lōloa, pea ko hono māukupu, ko e kiupite ʻe uofulu ma nima.

And its chambers were three from one side to the other. And its front and its vestibule, in accord with the measure of the former gate, were fifty cubits in its length and twenty-five cubits in width.

22 Pea ko hono ngaahi kātupa, mo honau pou afeafefua, pea mo e fakatātā ki he ʻakau ko e ponga, naʻe tatau pe ia mo e fua ʻoe matapā ʻoku hanga ki he potu hahake; pea naʻa nau ʻalu hake ai ko e lakaʻanga ʻe fitu, pea naʻe ʻi hono potu ki ʻao ʻa hono ngaahi pou afeafefua.

Now its windows, and the vestibule, and the engravings were in accord with the measure of the gate which looked to the east. And its ascent was by seven steps, and a vestibule was before it.

23 Pea naʻe fehāngaaki ʻae matapā ʻoe lotoʻā ki loto, mo e matapā ki he tokelau, pea mo ia naʻe hanga ki hahake: pea naʻa ne fua mei he matapā ki he matapā, ko e kiupite ʻe teau.

And the gate of the inner court was opposite the gate of the north, and that of the east. And he measured from gate to gate as one hundred cubits.

24 Hili ia naʻa ne ʻomi au ki he potu ki tonga, pea vakai naʻe ʻi ai ʻae matapā naʻe hanga atu ki he feituʻu tonga: pea naʻa ne fuofua hono ngaahi pou, mo hono pou afeafefua ʻo hangē pe ko ia ne fua ki ai.

And he led me to the way of the south, and behold, there was a gate which looked toward the south. And he measured its front and its vestibule to be the same as the measures above.

25 Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi kātupa mo e pou afeafefua naʻe tuʻu takatakai ʻi ai, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi matapā ko ē: ko hono lōloa ko e kiupite ʻe nimangofulu, pea ko e kiupite ʻe uofulu ma nima ʻa hono laulahi.

And its windows and the vestibule all around were like the other windows: fifty cubits in length and twenty-five cubits in width.

26 Pea naʻe ai ʻae hala tuʻunga ko e lakaʻanga ʻe fitu ke ʻalu hake ki ai, pea naʻe hangatonu mai ki ai ʻae ngaahi pou afeafefua: pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae fakatātā ki he ʻakau ko e ponga, ʻi hono potu ki heni, mo hono potu ki hena, ʻi hono ngaahi pou.

And there were seven steps to ascend to it, and a vestibule before its doors. And there were engraved palm trees, one on each side, at its front.

27 Pea naʻe ʻai ʻae matapā ʻi he lotoʻā ki loto, pea naʻe hanga ia ki he feituʻu tonga: pea naʻa ne fua mei he matapā ʻe taha ki he matapā ʻe taha ki he feituʻu tonga, ko e kiupite ʻe teau.

And there was a gate at the inner court, on the way to the south. And he measured from one gate to another, on the way to the south, to be one hundred cubits.

28 Pea naʻa ne ʻomi au ki he lotoʻā ki loto, ʻi he veʻe matapā ki he potu tonga: pea naʻa ne fuofua ʻae matapā ki tonga ʻo tatau mo e ngaahi fua ko ia;

And he led me into the inner court, to the south gate. And he measured the gate to be in accord with the measures above.

29 Pea ko hono ngaahi kihiʻi fale ʻo ia, pea mo hono ngaahi pou, pea mo hono ngaahi pou afeafefua, naʻe fakatatau ki he ngaahi fua ni; pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi kātupa, pea ʻi he ngaahi pou afeafefua, ʻaia naʻe tuʻu takatakai ai: ko hono lōloa ko e kiupite ʻe nimangofulu, pea ko e kiupite ʻe uofulu ma nima ʻa hono māukupu.

Its chamber, and its front, and its vestibule had the same measures. And its windows and its vestibule all around were fifty cubits in length, and twenty-five cubits in width.

30 Pea ko hono ngaahi pou afeafefua naʻe tākai hake ai, ko hono lōloa ko e kiupite ʻe uofulu ma nima, pea ko hono māukupu ko e kiupite ʻe nima.

And the vestibule all around was twenty-five cubits in length, and five cubits in width.

31 Pea naʻe hanga hono ngaahi pou afeafefua ki he lotoʻā kituʻa; pea naʻe ai ʻae ngaahi fakatātā ki he ʻakau ko e ponga ʻi hono ngaahi pou: pea naʻe lakaʻanga valu ʻae hala tuʻunga naʻe ʻalu hake ki ai.

And its vestibule was toward the outer court, and its palm trees were at the front. And there were eight steps to ascend to it.

32 Pea naʻa ne ʻomi au ki he lotoʻā ki loto ki he potu fakahahake: pea naʻa ne fuofua ʻae matapā ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi fua ni.

And he led me into the inner court, along the way of the east. And he measured the gate to be in accord with the measures above.

33 Pea ko hono ngaahi kihiʻi fale, mo hono ngaahi pou, mo hono ngaahi pou afeafefua, naʻe fakatatau ki he ngaahi fua ni: pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi kātupa, pea mo e ngaahi pou afeafefua naʻe tuʻu takatakai ʻi ai: ko hono lōloa ko e kiupite ʻe nimangofulu, pea ko hono māukupu ko e kiupite ʻe uofulu ma nima.

Its chamber, and its front, and its vestibule were as above. And its windows and its vestibules all around were fifty cubits in length, and twenty-five cubits in width.

34 Pea naʻe hanga atu hono ngaahi pou afeafefua ki he lotoʻā kituʻa; pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae fakatātā ki he ʻakau ko e ponga ʻi hono ngaahi pou, ʻi hono potu ki heni, mo hono potu ki hena: pea naʻe lakaʻanga valu ʻae hala tuʻunga naʻe ʻalu hake ki ai.

And it had a vestibule, that is, at the outer court. And the engraved palm trees at its front were on one side and the other. And its ascent was by eight steps.

35 Pea naʻa ne ʻomi au ki he matapā ki he potu tokelau, pea ne fuofua ia ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi fua ni;

And he led me to the gate which looked toward the north. And he measured it to be in accord with the measures above.

36 ‌ʻA hono ngaahi kihiʻi fale ʻo ia, mo hono pou, mo hono pou afeafefua, mo e ngaahi kātupa naʻe takatakai ai: ko hono lōloa ko e kiupite ʻe nimangofulu, pea ko e kiupite ʻe uofulu ma nima ʻa hono māukupu.

Its chamber, and its front, and its vestibule, and its windows all around were fifty cubits in length, and twenty-five cubits in width.

37 Pea naʻe hanga hono ngaahi pou ki he lotoʻā kituʻa: pea naʻe ʻi hono ngaahi pou ʻae fakatātā ki he ʻakau ko e ponga ʻi hono potu ko eni, pea mo hono potu ko ʻena; pea naʻe lakaʻanga valu ʻae hala tuʻunga naʻe ʻalu hake ki ai.

And its vestibule looked toward the outer court. And an engraving of palm trees at its front was on one side and the other. And its ascent was by eight steps.

38 Pea ko hono ngaahi potu fale, mo hono ngaahi matapā, naʻe vāofi ia mo e pou ʻoe ngaahi matapā, ʻaia naʻe fufulu ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu.

And at each one of the storerooms, there was a door at the front of the gates. There, they washed the holocaust.

39 Pea ʻi he fale hala ʻoe matapā naʻe ai ʻae palepale ʻe ua ʻi hono potu ʻe taha, mo e palepale ʻe ua ʻi hono potu ʻe taha, ke tāmateʻi ai ʻae feilaulau tutu, mo e feilaulau ʻae angahala, pea mo e feilaulau ʻae fai hala.

And at the vestibule of the gate, there were two tables on one side, and two tables on the other side, so that the holocaust, and the offering for sin, and the offering for transgression could be immolated upon them.

40 Pea ʻi hono potu kituʻa, ʻi he potu ʻoku ʻalu ai ha taha ki he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā ki he tokelau, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae palepale ʻe ua; pea ʻi he potu ʻe taha ʻi he fale hala ʻoe matapā, naʻe ai mo e palepale ʻe ua.

And at the outer side, which ascends to the door of the gate that goes toward the north, there were two tables. And at the other side, before the vestibule of the gate, there were two tables.

41 Ko e palepale naʻe fā ʻi he potu ʻe taha, mo e palepale ʻe fā ʻi he potu ʻe taha ʻi he veʻe matapā: ko e palepale ʻe valu ʻaia naʻe fai ai ʻae tāmateʻi ʻoe ngaahi feilaulau.

Four tables were on one side, and four tables were on the other side; along the sides of the gate, there were eight tables, upon which they immolated.

42 Pea ko e palepale ʻe fā ki he feilaulau tutu ko e ngaahi maka ia naʻe tā, ko hono lōloa ko e kiupite ʻe taha mo e vaeua mālie, pea ko hono māukupu ko e kiupite ʻe taha mo e vaeua mālie, pea ko e kiupite ʻe taha ʻa hono māʻolunga: he naʻe hili foki ki ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻaia naʻe tāmateʻi ʻaki ʻae feilaulau tutu mo e ngaahi feilaulau kehe.

Now the four tables for the holocausts were constructed of square stones: one and a half cubit in length, and one and a half cubits in width, and one cubit in height. Upon these, they placed the vessels, in which the holocaust and the victim were immolated.

43 Pea naʻe ai hono tapa fakatali ko e ʻaofinima kātoa hono laulahi naʻe fakamaʻu takatakai ki ai; pea naʻe hili ki he ngaahi palepale ʻae kanomate ʻoe feilaulau.

And their edges were one palm in width, turned inward all around. And the flesh of the oblation was on the tables.

44 Pea naʻe ʻi he tuʻa matapā ki loto ʻae ngaahi potu fale ʻoe kau fasi hiva ʻi he lotoʻā ki loto, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he veʻe matapā fakatokelau: pea naʻe hanga ia ki he ʻotu tonga: pea ko e taha ʻi he veʻe matapā fakahahake naʻe hanga ki he tokelau.

And outside the interior gate, there were storerooms for the cantors, in the inner court, which was beside the gate that looks toward the north. And their face was opposite the way to the south; one was beside the east gate, which looked toward the way of the north.

45 Pea naʻa ne pehē mai kiate au, Ko e potu fale ni ʻaia ʻoku hanga ki he tonga ʻoku ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki ʻoku tauhi ki he nāunau ʻoe fale.

And he said to me: “This is the storeroom that looks toward the south; it shall be for the priests who keep watch for the protection of the temple.

46 Pea ko e potu fale ʻaia ʻoku hanga ki he tokelau ʻoku ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki ʻoku tauhi ki he meʻa ʻae feilaulauʻanga: ʻakinautolu ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Satoki ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻo Livai, ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻunuʻunu mai kia Sihova ke tauhi kiate ia.

Moreover, the storeroom that looks toward the north will be for the priests who keep watch over the ministry of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, those among the sons of Levi who may draw near to the Lord, so that they may minister to him.”

47 Ko ia ne ne fua ai ʻae lotoʻā, ko hono lōloa ko e kiupite ʻe teau, pea ko e kiupite ʻe teau ʻa hono māukupu, ke potupotu mālie; pea naʻe tuʻu ʻae feilaulauʻanga ki muʻa ʻi he fale.

And he measured the court to be one hundred cubits in length, and one hundred cubits in width, with four equal sides. And the altar was before the face of the temple.

48 Pea naʻa ne ʻomi au ki he fale hala ʻoe fale, ʻo ne fua ʻae pou kotoa pē ʻoe fale hala, ko e kiupite ʻe nima ʻi hono potu ko eni, pea ko e kiupite ʻe nima ʻi he potu ko ʻena: pea ko hono laulahi ʻoe matapā ʻi hono potu naʻe hanga mai ko e kiupite ʻe tolu, pea ko e kiupite ʻe tolu kituʻa.

And he led me into the vestibule of the temple. And he measured the vestibule to be five cubits on one side, and five cubits on the other side. And the width of the gate was three cubits on one side, and three cubits on the other side.

49 Ko hono lōloa ʻoe fale hala ko e kiupite ʻe uofulu, pea ko hono laulahi ko e kiupite ʻe hongofulu ma taha; pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae hala tuʻunga ke ʻalu hake ai; pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ongo pou ʻoe fale hala ko e taha ʻi heni pea taha ʻi hena.

Now the length of the vestibule was twenty cubits, and the width was eleven cubits, and there were eight steps to ascend to it. And there were pillars at the front, one on this side and another on that side.
