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 struck, in the same day, the hand of the LORD was on me, and he brought me there.

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 down on a very high mountain, whereon was as it were 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.

He brought me there; and, look, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze, 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.”

The man said to me, "Son of man, see 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 may show them to you, you are 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.

Look, a wall on the outside of the house all around, and in the man's hand a measuring reed ten feet four inches (based on a standard eighteen inches plus three inches). So he measured the thickness of the building ten feet four inches, and the height ten feet four inches.

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 its steps: and he measured the threshold of the gate, ten feet four inches broad; and the other threshold, ten feet four inches 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.

Every side-room was ten feet four inches long, and one reed broad; and the space between the side-rooms was eight feet seven inches; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate at the inner end was ten feet four inches.

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 toward the house, ten feet four inches.

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, thirteen feet nine inches; and its jambs, three feet five inches; and the porch of the gate was toward the inner end.

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.

The side-rooms of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure: and the jambs had the same measurement.

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.

He measured the breadth of the opening of the gate, seventeen feet three inches; and the length of the gate, twenty-two feet five inches;

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 a barrier in front of the side-rooms, twenty-one inches, and a barrier on the other side, twenty-one inches; and the side-rooms were ten feet four inches square.

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 the gate from the ceiling of the one side-room to the ceiling of the other, a breadth of fourty-three feet one inch; the openings being opposite each other.

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 also measured the porch, one hundred three feet four inches; and to the jamb of the courtyard was the gateway 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.

From the forefront of the gate at the entrance to the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were eighty-six feet one inch.

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.

There were closed windows to the side-rooms, and toward their jambs within the gate all around, and likewise to the porches; and windows were around the inside; and on each jamb 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 he brought me into the outer court; and look, there were rooms and a pavement, made for the court all around: thirty rooms faced 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.

The pavement was by the side of the gates, corresponding to the length of the gates; this 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 outside, one hundred seventy-two feet three inches, both on the east and on the north.

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 outer court which faced toward the north, he measured its length and its breadth.

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 side-rooms were three on either side, and its jambs and its porches had the same measurement as the first gate; its length was eighty-six feet one inch, and the breadth fourty-three feet one inch.

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 its windows, and its porches, and the palm trees of it had the same measurement as the gate that faced toward the east. And they went up to it by seven steps; and its porch was in front of 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 there was a gate to the inner court across the gate to the north and the east; and he measured from gate to gate one hundred seventy-two feet three inches.

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.

He led me toward the south; and look, a gate toward the south. And he measured its jambs and its porches; they were the same size as the others.

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.

There were windows in it and in its porches all around, like those windows; the length was eighty-six feet one inch, and the breadth fourty-three feet one inch.

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.

There were seven steps to go up to it, and its porches were in front of them; and it had palm trees on its jambs, one on either side.

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.

There was a gate to the inner court toward the south. And he measured from gate to gate toward the south one hundred seventy-two feet three inches.

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;

Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate, and it had the same dimensions as the others.

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 its side-rooms, and its jambs, and its porches were of the same size as the others. And there were windows in it and in its porches all around; it was eighty-six feet one inch long, and fourty-three feet one inch 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 there were porches all around, fourty-three feet one inch long, and eight feet seven inches 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 porches of it faced the outer court, and palm trees were on its jambs, and its stairway 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 to the inner court toward the east, and he measured the gate as being the same size;

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 its side-rooms, and its jambs, and its porches were the same size as the others, and there were windows in it and in its porches all around. It was eighty-six feet one inch long, and fourty-three feet one inch 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.

The porches of it faced the outer court; and palm trees were on its jambs, on either side, and its stairway 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;

He brought me to the north gate, and he measured it; and it had the same dimensions as the others;

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 side-rooms, its jambs, and its porches. And there were windows in it all around; the length was eighty-six feet one inch, and the breadth fourty-three feet one inch.

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 porch faced the outer court; and palm trees were on its jambs, on either side, and its stairway 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 a chamber with its door was by the porch of the gate; there 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 either side, and two tables on that side, on which to slaughter the burnt offering and the sin offering and guilt 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.

On the one side outside, as one goes up to the entrance of the north gate, were two tables; and on the other side of 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 either side of the gate, eight tables on which they slaughtered the 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.

There were four tables of carved stone for the burnt offering, two feet seven inches long, and two feet seven inches broad, and twenty-one inches high; on which they laid the instruments with which they slaughtered 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.

The hooks, three inches long, were fastened all around within, 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 from the outside of the inner gate were two chambers in the inner court, one which was at the side of the north gate facing toward the south; and one at the side of the south gate facing 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.

He said to me, "This room that faces toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the duty 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 room that faces toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the duty of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok, who from among the sons of Levi 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.

He measured the court, one hundred seventy-two feet three inches long, and one hundred seventy-two feet three inches broad, a square; and the altar was in front of 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.

Then he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured the jambs of the porch, eight feet seven inches on each side. And the breadth of the gate was twenty-four feet one inch, and the sides of the gate were five feet two inches on each 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 thirty-four feet five inches, and the breadth twenty feet eight inches. And they went up to it by ten steps; and there were pillars by the jambs on either side.
