ʻIsikieli 41

1 Pea hili ia naʻa ne ʻomi au ki he fale tapu, ʻo ne fua ʻae ngaahi pou, ko e kiupite ʻe ono hono laulahi ʻi he potu ʻe taha, pea ono hono kiupite ʻi he potu ʻe taha, he ko hono laulahi ia ʻoe fale fehikitaki.

[in the vision] the man brought me to into the Holy Place in the temple and measured the walls on each side of the doorway of that room: They were about (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) thick.

2 Pea ko hono laulahi ʻoe matapā ko e kiupite ʻe hongofulu; pea ko e kau matapā ko e kiupite ʻe nima ʻi hono potu ʻe taha, pea ko e kiupite ʻe nima ʻi hono potu ʻe taha: pea naʻa ne fua hono lōloa ko e kiupite ʻe fāngofulu; pea ko hono laulahi ko e kiupite ʻe uofulu.

The entrance was (17-1/2 feet/5.3 meters) wide, and the walls of each side of it were (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) wide. He also measured the Holy Place, it was (70 feet/21.4 meters) long and (35 feet/10.7 meters) wide.

3 Pea naʻe toki ʻalu ia ki loto, pea ne fua ʻae pou ʻoe matapā ko e kiupite ʻe ua; pea ko e matapā ko e kiupite ʻe ono; pea ko hono laulahi ʻoe matapā ko e kiupite ʻe fitu.

Then he entered the inner room [of the temple] and measured the walls of the entrance; [each was] (3-1/2 feet/1.1 meter) thick. The doorway was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) wide, and the walls on each side of the entrance were (12-1/4 feet/3.7 meters) long.

4 Naʻe pehē mo ʻene fua ʻa hono lōloa, ko e kiupite ʻe uofulu; pea ko hono laulahi ʻi he muʻa fale tapu ko e kiupite ʻe uofulu: pea naʻa ne pehē mai kiate au, “Ko e potu toputapu eni.”

Then he measured the inner room: It was (35 feet/10.7 meters) long and (35 feet/10.7 meters) wide. He said to me, “This is the Very Holy Place.”

5 Hili ia naʻa ne fua ʻae holisi ʻoe fale, ko e kiupite ʻe ono: pea ko e laulahi ʻoe ngaahi potu fale kituʻa ʻaia naʻe takatakai ʻaki ʻae fale ʻi hono potu kotoa pē, ko e taki taha ʻae kiupite ʻe fā.

Then he measured the wall of the temple: It was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) thick.[There was a row of rooms along the outside wall of the temple]. Each of those rooms was (7 feet/2.1 meters) wide.

6 Pea naʻe fata tolu ʻae ngaahi potu fale kituʻa, pea taki tolungofulu ʻa hono fakaʻotu; pea naʻe faʻaki hono ngaahi lalango ki he ʻā kituʻa, koeʻuhi ke mālohi, ka naʻe ʻikai ke aʻu ki he holisi ʻoe fale.

There were three levels of rooms, one above the other. There were thirty rooms on each level. There were ledges all around the wall of the temple that were supports for those side rooms; so those supports were not built into the wall of the temple.

7 Pea naʻe ai hono fakaʻataʻatā mo e hala fakatakamilo, naʻe ʻalu hake ki ʻolunga ki he ngaahi potu fale: he naʻe ʻalu hake ʻo takatakai ʻae fale ʻe he hala fakatakamilo: pea naʻe fakaʻaʻau ʻo ʻatā ange ʻae ngaahi potu fale ʻo fakatatau mo ʻene ʻalu ki ʻolunga ʻo fua fai mei lalo.

Each of those side rooms was wider than the one below it. The most narrow rooms were built first, at the bottom. Then a wider set of rooms was built over it, and the widest set was at the top. A set of stairs was built from the lowest level through the middle level to the highest level.

8 Pea naʻaku mamata foki ki he māʻolunga ʻoe fale ʻi hono takatakai hake: ko e keli hono tuʻunga ʻoe ngaahi potu fale kituʻa, ko e kaho kātoa ʻe taha naʻe ono hono kiupite lōloa.

I saw that there was a terrace (OR, raised platform) around the temple. The terrace was the foundation for those side rooms; it was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) high.

9 Ko hono matolu ʻoe holisi ki he potu fale kituʻa, ko e kiupite ʻe nima: pea ko e potu naʻe tuku ke ʻatā ko e tuʻuʻanga ia ʻoe ngaahi potu fale ki lotoʻā.

The outer wall of those side rooms was (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) thick. All around those side rooms there was an open area that was (35 feet/10.6 meters) wide.

10 Pea ko hono fakavahavaha ʻoe ngaahi potu fale, ko e kiupite ʻe uofulu, pea naʻe pehē fakatakamilo hake pe ʻi he fale kātoa.

There was a row of rooms for the priests on each side of the outer wall of the inner courtyard.

11 Pea naʻe hanga atu ʻae matapā ʻoe ngaahi potu fale kituʻa, ki he potu naʻe tuku ke ʻataʻatā, ko e matapā ʻe taha ki he potu tokelau, pea ko e taha ki he potu tonga: pea ko e laulahi ʻoe potu naʻe tuku ʻatā pe, ko e kiupite ʻe nima hono fua takatakai.

There were two doors from those side rooms into another open area; one faced north and one faced south. That open area was (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) wide.

12 Pea ko eni, ko e fale ʻaia naʻe tuʻu ki muʻa ʻi he ʻataʻatā ʻi he potu ngataʻanga ki lulunga, ko hono laulahi ko e kiupite ʻe fitungofulu: pea ko hono matolu ʻoe ʻā naʻe takatakai ʻaki ʻae fale ko e kiupite ʻe nima, pea ko hono lōloa, ko e kiupite ʻe hivangofulu.

There was a large building on the west side of the temple area. It was (122-1/2 feet/37.1 meters) wide and (157-1/2 feet/47.7 meters) long. And its walls were [also] (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) thick.

13 Ko ia naʻa ne fua ʻae fale, ko e kiupite ʻe teau ʻa hono lōloa; pea ko hono potu ʻataʻatā, pea mo e fale, fakataha mo hono ngaahi ʻā, ko hono lōloa, ko e kiupite ʻe teau;

Then the man measured the temple. It was (175 feet/53 meters) long, and the [temple] courtyard, where the large building was, including its walls was [also] (175 feet/53 meters) wide.

14 Mo e laulahi foki ʻoe mata fale, mo hono potu ʻataʻatā ki he feituʻu hahake, ko e kiupite ia ʻe teau.

The courtyard on the east side of the temple, across the front of the temple, was also (175 feet/53 meters) wide.

15 Pea naʻa ne fua hono lōloa ʻoe fale, ʻi he potu ʻoku hanga ki he potu ʻataʻatā, ʻaia naʻe ʻituʻa ʻi ai, mo hono ngaahi hala kituʻa fale ʻi hono potu fakatouʻosi, ko e kiupite ia ʻe teau, ʻaia mo e potu toputapu ki loto, mo e ngaahi fale hala ʻoe lotoʻā;

Then he measured the building on the west [side]. Including its walls it was also (175 feet/53 meters) wide. The outer walls of the Holy Place, the Very Holy Place, and the entry room,

16 ‌ʻAe ngaahi pou ʻoe matapā, mo e ngaahi kātupa fāsiʻi, mo e ngaahi hala kituʻa, ʻo takatakai hake ʻi hono fata ʻe tolu, ʻaia naʻe hanga mai ki he matapā, naʻe ʻaofi ʻaki kotoa pē ia ʻae ʻakau ʻo fai mei he funga kelekele ʻo aʻu hake ki he ngaahi kātupa, pea naʻe ʻaofi foki mo e ngaahi kātupa;

the inner walls above and below the windows, and the frames of the windows were all covered with [thin] panels of wood.

17 Naʻe fai fakafuofua pe ʻo aʻu ki ʻolunga ʻi he matapā, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki he fale ki loto mo tuʻa, ʻo takatakai hake ʻi he ʻā ʻi loto mo tuʻa.

All the walls inside the temple were decorated [carvings of] winged creatures and palm trees: Between each figure of a winged creature was a carving of a palm tree. Each winged creature had two faces:

18 Pea naʻe teuʻi ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi selupi, mo e ngaahi ʻakau ko e ponga, he naʻe fevahaʻanaki ʻaki ʻae ʻakau ko e ponga, ʻae ngaahi selupi; pea naʻe taki ua ʻae mata ʻoe selupi;

One was a face of a human, and one was the face of a lion. Those figures were carved on the walls all around the inside of the temple.

19 Ko ia naʻe hanga ʻae mata ʻoe tangata ki he ʻakau ko e ponga, ʻi hono potu ʻe taha, pea hanga ʻae mata ʻoe laione mui ki he ʻakau ko e ponga, ʻi hono potu ʻe taha; naʻe pehē hono ngaohi ʻo takatakai ʻi he fale ʻo ʻosi.

20 Naʻe ngaohi ʻae selupi, mo e ngaahi ponga, ʻo fua fai mei he funga kelekele ʻo aʻu ki he potu ki ʻolunga ʻi he matapā, pea ʻi he ʻā ʻoe fale tapu.

They covered all the walls, from the floor to the top of the walls.

21 Naʻe fua ke potupotutatau ʻae pou ʻoe fale tapu, mo e mata fale ʻoe potu toputapu; naʻa na mata tatau ʻosi pe.

At the entrance to the Holy Place of the temple there were square doorposts. In front of the Very Holy Place there was something that resembled

22 Ko e kiupite ʻe tolu ko hono māʻolunga ia ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻakau, mo hono lōloa, ko e kiupite ʻe ua; pea ko hono tuliki, mo hono potu fakalōloa, mo hono kaokao naʻe ngaohi ʻaki ʻae ʻakau: pea naʻa ne pehē mai kiate au, “Ko e palepale ia ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.”

a wooden altar. It was (5.2 feet/1.6 meters) high and (3-1/2 feet/1.1 meters) wide on all four sides. Its corners and base and sides were [all made] of wood. The man said to me, “This is the table that is in the presence of Yahweh.”

23 Pea naʻe ua ʻae matapā ʻi he faletapu, pea mo e potu toputapu.

The Holy Place and the Very Holy Place had double doors.

24 Pea naʻe taki ua ʻae potu matapā naʻe tautau; ko e potu matapā ʻe ua ki he matapā ʻe taha, pea ua ki he matapā ʻe taha.

Each doorway had two doors that [on hinges].

25 Pea naʻe tongi ki ai, mo e matapā ʻoe fale tapu ʻae selupi, mo e ngaahi ponga, ʻo tatau mo ia naʻe ʻi he ngaahi ʻā; pea naʻe ʻaofi ʻaki ʻae laupapa matolu ʻae mata fale ʻoe fale hala kituʻa.

On the doors of the Holy Place there were carvings of winged creatures and palm trees, like those on the walls of the Holy Place. There was also a wooden roof over the front of the entry room [of the temple].

26 Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi kātupa fāsiʻi, mo e ngaahi ponga, ʻi hono potu fakatouʻosi, pea mo e ngaahi potu ʻoe fale hala, mo e ngaahi potu fale ʻoe fale lahi, mo e ngaahi laupapa matolu.

On the side walls of the entry room were narrow windows with [figures of] palm trees [carved] on the sides of the windows. The side rooms around the temple also had roofs.
