ʻIsikieli 43

1 Pea hili ia naʻa ne ʻomi au ki he matapā, ʻae matapā ʻaia ʻoku hanga atu ki he potu hahake:

Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looks toward the east.

2 Pea vakai, naʻe malama mai ʻae nāunau ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli mei he hala mei he potu hahake: pea naʻe tatau hono leʻo mo e ʻuʻulu ʻae ngaahi vai lahi: pea naʻe ulo ʻa māmani ko e meʻa ʻi hono nāunau.

Look, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shined with his glory.

3 Pea naʻe tatau ʻa ʻene hā mai mo e meʻa hā mai naʻaku mamata ki ai, ʻio, ʻo tatau mo e meʻa hā mai naʻaku mamata ai ʻi heʻeku haʻu ke kikite ki he fakaʻauha ʻoe kolo: pea naʻe tatau hono ngaahi meʻa naʻe hā mai, mo ia naʻaku mamata ki ai ʻi he veʻe vaitafe ko Kipa; pea ne u tō hifo ki hoku mata.

It was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city; and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.

4 Pea naʻe hāʻele mai ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova ʻo hū ki he fale ʻi he hala ʻoe matapā ʻaia ʻoku hanga atu ki he potu hahake.

The glory of YHWH came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.

5 Ko ia naʻe hiki hake ai au ʻe he laumālie, ʻo ne ʻave au ki he lotoʻā ki loto; pea vakai, naʻe fakapito ʻaki ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova ʻae fale kotoa.

The Spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and look, the glory of YHWH filled the house.

6 Pea naʻaku fanongo ki heʻene folofola mai mei loto fale; pea naʻa ma tutuʻu mo e tangata.

I heard one speaking to me out of the house; and a man stood by me.

7 Pea naʻa ne pehē mai kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, ko e potu ʻo hoku ʻafioʻanga, mo e potu ki hoku ʻaofivaʻe, ʻaia te u nofo ai ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo taʻengata, pea mo hoku huafa māʻoniʻoni, ʻe ʻikai toe fakaʻuli ʻe he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻakinautolu, pe ko honau ngaahi tuʻi, ʻi heʻenau fai feʻauaki, pe ko e ʻangaʻanga ʻo honau ngaahi tuʻi ʻi honau ngaahi potu māʻolunga.

He said to me, "Son of man, this is the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever. The house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their prostitution, and by the dead bodies of their kings in their high places;

8 He ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau fokotuʻu ʻenau matapā ki heʻeku matapā, mo ʻenau ngaahi pou ki heʻeku ngaahi pou, pea mo e ʻā ʻi homau vahaʻa mo kinautolu, pea kuo nau fakalieliaʻi ʻa hoku huafa māʻoniʻoni ʻi heʻenau ngaahi fakalielia kuo fai: ko ia naʻaku fakaʻauha ai ʻakinautolu ʻi he houhau.

in their setting of their threshold by my threshold, and their doorpost beside my doorpost, and there was but the wall between me and them; and they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed: therefore I have consumed them in my anger.

9 Ka ko eni, ka tuku atu ʻekinautolu ʻenau ngaahi meʻa fakalielia, mo e ʻangaʻanga ʻo honau ngaahi tuʻi, ke mamaʻo meiate au, pea te u toki nofo au ʻi honau lotolotonga ʻo taʻengata.”

Now let them put away their prostitution, and the dead bodies of their kings, far from me; and I will dwell in their midst forever.

10 “ʻA koe foha ʻoe tangata, fakahā ʻae fale ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke nau mā ki heʻenau ngaahi kovi: pea tuku ke nau fua ʻae fakatātā.

"You, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.

11 Pea kapau te nau mā ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē kuo nau fai, fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻa hono anga ʻoe fale, mo hono fakafuofua, ʻa hono ngaahi hala kituʻa mo hono ngaahi hala ki loto, mo hono anga kotoa pē, mo hono tuʻutuʻuni kotoa pē, pea mo hono ngaahi fono kotoa pē: pea ke tohi ia ʻi honau ʻao, koeʻuhi ke nau fai ki hono anga kotoa pē, pea mo hono tuʻutuʻuni kotoa pē, mo nau fai ki ai.

If they be ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the form of the house, and its fashion, and its exits, and its entrances, and all its forms, and all its ordinances, and all its forms, and all its laws; and write it in their sight; that they may keep the whole form of it, and all its ordinances, and do them.

12 Ko eni ʻae fono ʻoku kau ki he fale; ʻilonga ʻa hono ngataʻanga takatakai hake ʻoe tumutumu ʻoe moʻunga, ʻe toputapu ʻaupito ia. Vakai ko e fono eni ki he fale.”

"This is the law of the house: on the top of the mountain the whole limit around it shall be most holy. Look, this is the law of the house.

13 Pea ko hono fakafuofua eni ʻoe ngaahi feilaulauʻanga ʻo lau ki hono kiupite: pea ko e kiupite, ko e kiupite ʻoku taha pea mo e ʻaofinima kātoa ʻe taha; ko hono takele ko e kiupite ʻe taha, pea ko hono laulahi ko e kiupite ʻe taha, pea ko hono tapa fakatali ʻaia ʻe takatakai ʻaki ko e hanga ʻe taha ia; pea ko e meʻa ia ki hono potu ki ʻolunga ʻoe feilaulauʻanga.

"These are the measurements of the altar by units of length (each unit is the standard eighteen inches plus three inches): the bottom shall be twenty-one inches, and the breadth twenty-one inches, and its border around its edge nine inches. And this shall be the height of the altar:

14 Pea ko hono fua mei he funga kelekele ʻo hoko hake ki hono ʻuluaki hala fakatakamilo, ko e kiupite ia ʻe ua, pea ko hono laulahi ko e kiupite ʻe taha; pea mei he hala siʻi ʻo aʻu ki he hala lahi ko e kiupite ia ʻe fā, pea ko e kiupite ʻe taha ʻa hono laulahi.

from the bottom on the ground to the lower ledge shall be three feet five inches, and the breadth twenty-one inches; and from the lesser ledge to the greater ledge shall be six feet eleven inches, and the breadth twenty-one inches.

15 Pea ko e funga feilaulauʻanga ko e kiupite ia ʻe fā; pea ʻe ʻalu hake mei he feilaulauʻanga ʻae nifo ʻe fā.

The upper altar shall be six feet eleven inches; and four horns project upward from the altar hearth.

16 Pea ko hono lōloa ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ko e kiupite ʻe hongofulu ma ua, mo e hongofulu ma ua ʻa hono laulahi, koeʻuhi ke potupotu mālie hono potu ʻe fā.

The altar hearth shall be twenty-four feet one inch long by twenty-four feet one inch broad, square in the four sides of it.

17 Pea ko hono hala takatakai ko hono lōloa ko e kiupite ʻe hongofulu ma fā, pea ko hono laulahi ʻi hono potu ʻe fā, ko e kiupite ʻe hongofulu ma fā; pea ko e tapa fakatali ʻe takatakai ai ko e vaeuamālie ʻoe kiupite; pea ko hono potu ki lalo ko e kiupite ʻe taha, ʻo takatakai hake; pea ʻe hangatonu hono hala tuʻunga ki he potu hahake.

The ledge shall be twenty-four feet one inch long by twenty-four feet one inch broad in the four sides of it; and the border about it shall be ten and a half inches; and its bottom shall be twenty-one inches around; and its steps shall look toward the east."

18 Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Ko eni ia ʻa hono tuʻutuʻuni ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻe ngaohi ai ia, ke ʻatu ʻi ai ʻae feilaulau tutu, pea ke luluku ʻaki ia ʻae toto.

He said to me, "Son of man, thus says YHWH: These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.

19 Pea ko e kau taulaʻeiki ʻae kau Livai, ʻoku ʻoe hako ʻo Satoki, ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻunuʻunu mai ke ngāue kiate au, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, te ke ʻatu ki ai ʻae pulu mui ko e feilaulau koeʻuhi ko e angahala.

You shall give to the priests the Levites who are of the offspring of Zadok, who are near to me, to minister to me, says YHWH, a young bull for a sin offering.

20 Pea te ke toʻo ʻa hono toto ʻoʻona, ʻo pani ʻaki ia ʻa hono nifo ʻe fā, mo e tuliki ʻe fā ʻoe hala takatakai, pea mo e tapa fakatali ʻoku takatakai ʻaki ia: ʻe pehē ʻa hono fakamaʻa mo hono fufulu.

You shall take of its blood, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the ledge, and on the border all around: thus you shall cleanse it and make atonement for it.

21 Te ke toʻo foki ʻae pulu ʻoku feilaulau ʻaki ʻi he angahala, pea te ne tutu ia ʻi he potu fale ʻoku tuku ki ai ʻi he tuʻa potu toputapu.

You shall also take the bull of the sin offering, and it shall be burnt in the appointed place of the house, outside of the sanctuary.

22 Pea ʻi hono ʻaho ua te ke feilaulau ʻaki ʻae ʻuhikiʻi kosi taʻehanomele, ko e feilaulau ia ʻi he angahala; pea te nau fufulu ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻi he ʻatu ʻae pulu.

"On the second day you shall offer a male goat without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bull.

23 Pea ka hili ʻa hoʻo fakamaʻa ia, te ke ʻatu ha pulu mui ʻoku taʻehanomele, mo e sipitangata mei he fanga sipi ʻoku taʻehanomele.

When you have finished cleansing it, you shall offer a young bull without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.

24 Pea te mou ʻatu ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea ʻe lī ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ha māsima ki ai, pea te nau ʻohake ia kia Sihova, ko e feilaulau tutu kiate ia.

You shall bring them near to YHWH, and the priests shall cast salt on them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering to YHWH.

25 Pea ko e ʻaho ʻe fitu mo hoʻo teuteu ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ha kosi, ko e feilaulau ʻi he angahala: pea te nau teuteu foki ha pulu mui, mo e sipitangata mei he fanga sipi, ʻoku taʻehanomele.

"Seven days you shall prepare every day a goat for a sin offering: they shall also prepare a young bull, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish.

26 Ko e ʻaho ʻe fitu te nau fufulu ai ʻae feilaulauʻanga mo fakamaʻa ia; pea te nau fakatapui ʻakinautolu.

Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify it; so shall they consecrate it.

27 Pea ka ʻosi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi hono ʻaho valu ʻo fai ki mui, ʻe ʻatu ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki hoʻomou ngaahi feilaulau tutu, mo hoʻomou ngaahi feilaulau fakalelei ʻi he feilaulauʻanga; pea te u maʻu ʻakimoutolu, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.”

When they have accomplished the days, it shall be that on the eighth day, and forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings on the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, says YHWH."
