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 five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of the LORD was on me, and brought me thither.

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 brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me on a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a city on 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 brought me thither, and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in 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 man said to me, Son of man, behold with your eyes, and hear with your ears, and set your heart on all that I shall show you; for to the intent that I might show them to you are you brought here: declare 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 a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed of six cubits long by the cubit and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, 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.

Then came he to the gate which looks toward the east, and went up the stairs thereof, and measured the threshold of the gate, which was one reed broad; and the other threshold of the gate, which was one reed broad.

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 every little chamber was one reed long, and one reed broad; and between the little chambers were five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within was one reed.

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

He measured also the porch of the gate within, 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.

Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was inward.

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.

And the little chambers of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side.

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 breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, 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.

The space also before the little chambers was one cubit on this side, and the space was one cubit on that side: and the little chambers were six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.

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.

He measured then the gate from the roof of one little chamber to the roof of another: the breadth was five and twenty cubits, door against 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.

He made also posts of three score cubits, even to the post of the court round about the gate.

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 from the face of the gate of the entrance to the face of the porch of the inner gate 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 narrow windows to the little chambers, and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches: and windows were round about inward: and on each post were palm trees.

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.

Then brought he me into the outward court, and, see, there were chambers, and a pavement made for the court round about: thirty chambers were on 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 by the side of the gates over against the length of the gates was the lower pavement.

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.

Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate to the forefront of the inner court without, an hundred cubits eastward and northward.

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

And the gate of the outward court that looked toward the north, he measured the length thereof, and the breadth thereof.

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 the little chambers thereof were three on this side and three on that side; and the posts thereof and the arches thereof were after the measure of the first gate: the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.

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.

And their windows, and their arches, and their palm trees, were after the measure of the gate that looks toward the east; and they went up to it by seven steps; and the arches thereof were before them.

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 over against the gate toward the north, and toward the east; and he measured from gate to gate an 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.

After that he brought me toward the south, and behold a gate toward the south: and he measured the posts thereof and the arches thereof according to these measures.

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 there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about, like those windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.

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 go up to it, and the arches thereof were before them: and it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, on the posts thereof.

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 in the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south an 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 brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he measured the south gate according to these measures;

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.

And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, according to these measures: and there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about: it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.

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 arches round about were five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad.

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 the arches thereof were toward the outer court; and palm trees were on the posts thereof: and the going up to it had eight steps.

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 brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the gate according to these measures.

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.

And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, were according to these measures: and there were windows therein and in the arches thereof round about: it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.

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 the arches thereof were toward the outward court; and palm trees were on the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up to it had 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 brought me to the north gate, and measured it according to these measures;

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.

The little chambers thereof, the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, and the windows to it round about: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.

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 the posts thereof were toward the outer court; and palm trees were on the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up to it had 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 the chambers and the entries thereof were by the posts of the gates, where they washed the burnt offering.

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 in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slay thereon the burnt offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering.

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 side without, as one goes up to the entry of the north gate, were two tables; and on the other side, which was at the porch of the gate, 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 this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon they slew their sacrifices.

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.

And the four tables were of hewn stone for the burnt offering, of a cubit and an half long, and a cubit and an half broad, and one cubit high: whereupon also they laid the instruments with which they slew the burnt offering and the sacrifice.

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 within were hooks, an hand broad, fastened round about: and on the tables was the flesh of the offering.

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 without the inner gate were the chambers of the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate; and their prospect was toward the south: one at the side of the east gate having the prospect toward 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 chamber, whose prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house.

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.

And the chamber whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok among the sons of Levi, which come near to the LORD to 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.

So he measured the court, an hundred cubits long, and an hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar that was before the house.

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 brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that 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.

The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits, and he brought me by the steps whereby they went up to it: and there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
