ʻIsikieli 46

1 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “ʻE tāpuni ʻae matapā ʻoe lotoʻā ki loto ʻaia ʻoku hanga ki hahake ʻi he ʻaho ʻe ono ʻoku ngofua ai ʻae ngāue; ka ʻe fakaava ia ʻi he ʻaho tapu, pea ʻe fakaava ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe māhina foʻou.

Thus says the lord Jehovah: The gate of the inner court that looks toward the east shall be shut the six working days, but on the sabbath day it shall be opened, and on the day of the new moon it shall be opened.

2 Pea ʻe hū atu ʻae tuʻi ʻi he hala ʻoe fale hala ʻoe matapā kituʻa, pea te ne tuʻu ʻi he tefito pou ʻoe matapā, pea ʻe ngaohi ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ʻa ʻene feilaulau tutu, mo ʻene ngaahi feilaulau fakafetaʻi, pea te ne fai ʻene hū ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā: pea te ne toki ʻalu atu; ka ʻe ʻikai tāpuni ʻae matapā ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.

And the ruler shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate outside, and shall stand by the post of the gate. And the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate. Then he shall go forth, but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.

3 ‌ʻE pehē foki mo e kakai ʻoe fonua te nau hū ʻi he matapā ʻi he hūʻanga ko ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho tapu, pea ʻi he ngaahi māhina foʻou.

And the people of the land shall worship at the door of that gate before Jehovah on the sabbaths and on the new moons.

4 Pea ko e feilaulau tutu ʻe ʻatu ʻe he tuʻi ʻi he ʻaho tapu, ko e lami ʻe ono taʻehanauʻila, pea mo e sipitangata taʻehanomele.

And the burnt offering that the ruler shall offer to Jehovah shall be on the sabbath day six lambs without blemish and a ram without blemish,

5 Pea ko e feilaulau ʻoe meʻakai ko e efa ʻe taha ki he sipitangata ʻe taha, pea ko e feilaulau meʻakai ki he fanga lami, ʻe fakatatau ia ki heʻene faʻa fai, pea ko e hini ʻe taha ʻoe lolo ki he efa ʻe taha.

and the meal offering shall be an ephah for the ram, and the meal offering for the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

6 Pea ko e ʻaho ʻoe māhina foʻou ʻe ʻatu ai ʻae pulu mui taʻehanomele, pea mo e fanga lami ʻe ono, pea mo e sipitangata ʻe taha: pea te nau taʻehanaumele.

And on the day of the new moon it shall be a young bullock without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram. They shall be without blemish.

7 Pea te ne teuteu ha feilaulau meʻakai, ko e efa ʻe taha ki he pulu ʻe taha, mo e efa ʻe taha ki he sipitangata ʻe taha, pea ko e meʻa maʻae fanga lami ʻo fakatatau mo ia ʻoku faʻa fai ʻe hono nima, pea ko e hini ʻe taha ʻoe lolo, ki he efa ʻe taha.

And he shall prepare a meal offering, an ephah for the bullock, and an ephah for the ram, and for the lambs according as he is able, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

8 Pea ka hū atu ʻae tuʻi, te ne hū atu ʻi he hala ʻoe fale hala ʻi he matapā, pea te ne toe ʻalu atu ai pe kituʻa.

And when the ruler shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and he shall go forth by the way of it.

9 Ka ʻi heʻene haʻu ʻae kakai ʻoe fonua ki he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi he ngaahi kātoanga fakatoputapu, ko ia ʻoku hū atu ke lotu ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā ki he tokelau, ʻe ʻalu atu ia kituʻa ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā ki he feituʻu tonga; pea ko ia ʻoku hū atu ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā ki tonga ʻe toe ʻalu atu ia ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā ki he tokelau: ʻe ʻikai te ne toe foki atu ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā ko ia naʻa ne hū mai mei ai, ka te ne ʻalu atu ʻi he matapā ʻoku hangatonu mai ki ai.

But when the people of the land shall come before Jehovah in the appointed feasts, he who enters by the way of the north gate to worship shall go forth by the way of the south gate, and he who enters by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate. He shall not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go forth straight before him.

10 Pea ʻe hū atu ʻae tuʻi fakataha mo kinautolu ʻoka nau ka hū ki ai; pea ka nau ka toe ʻalu atu mei ai, ʻe ʻalu foki mo ia kituʻa.

And the ruler, when they go in, shall go in in the midst of them, and when they go forth, they shall go forth together.

11 Pea ʻi he ngaahi kātoanga mo e ngaahi fakataha fakatoputapu ko e feilaulau ʻoe meʻakai, ko e efa ʻe taha ki he pulu ʻe taha, mo e efa ʻe taha ki he sipitangata, pea ko e meʻa ki he fanga lami ʻe fakatatau ia mo ia ʻoku ne faʻa fai, pea ko e hini ʻe taha ʻoe loto, ki he efa ʻe taha.

And in the feasts and in the solemnities the meal offering shall be an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

12 Pea ka fai ʻe he tuʻi ke teuteu ʻofa pe haʻane feilaulau tutu, pe ha feilaulau fakafetaʻi ʻoku ʻatu ʻataʻatā pe kia Sihova, ʻe fakaava kiate ia ʻae matapā, ʻaia ʻoku hangatonu ki he potu hahake, pea ʻe teuteu ʻa ʻene feilaulau tutu, pea mo ʻene feilaulau fakafetaʻi, ʻo hangē ko ia ne fai ʻi he ʻaho tapu: pea te ne toki ʻalu atu kituʻa; pea ka ʻalu atu ia kituʻa, ʻe tāpuni ʻae matapā.

And when the ruler shall prepare a freewill offering, a burnt offering or peace offerings as a freewill offering to Jehovah, a man shall open for him the gate that looks toward the east. And he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he does on the sabbath day. Then he shall go forth, and after his going forth a man shall shut the gate.

13 Te ke teuteu ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ha feilaulau tutu kia Sihova, ko e lami ʻi hono ʻuluaki taʻu, mo taʻehanomele; te ke teuteu ia ʻi he pongipongi kotoa pē kotoa pē.

And thou shall prepare a lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt offering to Jehovah daily. Thou shall prepare it morning by morning.

14 Pea ʻe teuteu mo hono feilaulau meʻakai, ʻi he pongipongi kotoa pē, ko hono vahe ʻe ono ʻoe efa ʻe taha, mo hono vahe ʻe tolu ʻoe hini ʻe taha ʻoe lolo, ke natu ʻaki ʻae mahoaʻa lelei; ko e feilaulau ia ʻoe meʻakai, ke tuʻutuʻuni mo fai maʻuaipē kia Sihova.

And thou shall prepare a meal offering with it morning by morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of a hin of oil, to moisten the fine flour, a meal offering to Jehovah continually by a perpetual ordinance.

15 ‌ʻE pehē ʻa hono teuteu ʻekinautolu ʻae lami, mo e feilaulau ʻoe meʻakai, pea mo e lolo, ʻi he pongipongi kotoa pē, ko e feilaulau tutu ia ke fai maʻuaipē.”

Thus they shall prepare the lamb, and the meal offering, and the oil, morning by morning, for a continual burnt offering.

16 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Kapau ʻe ʻatu ha meʻa ʻe he tuʻi ki ha taha ʻi hono ngaahi foha, ʻe maʻu tukufakaholo ia ʻe hono ngaahi foha; ʻe ʻonautolu ia tukufakaholo.

Thus says the lord Jehovah: If the ruler gives a gift to any of his sons, it is his inheritance. It shall belong to his sons. It is their possession by inheritance.

17 Pea kapau te ne tuku ha meʻa ki ha taha ʻi heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ia ʻo aʻu ki he taʻu ʻoe fakatauʻatāina; ka hoko mai ia ʻe toe maʻu ia ʻe he tuʻi; ka ko e meʻa kuo ne tuku ki hono ngaahi foha, ʻe ʻanautolu maʻuaipē ia.

But if he gives a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants, it shall be his to the year of liberty, then it shall return to the ruler. But as for his inheritance, it shall be for his sons.

18 Pea ʻe ʻikai fakamālohiʻi ʻe he tuʻi ʻae tofiʻa ʻoe kakai, ke ne kapusi ʻakinautolu mei honau tofiʻa; ka te ne tuku ʻae tofiʻa ki hono ngaahi foha mei hono tofiʻa pe ʻoʻona: koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa fakamovetevete ʻae kakai mei honau tofiʻa taki taha.”

Moreover the ruler shall not take of the people's inheritance, to thrust them out of their possession. He shall give inheritance to his sons out of his own possession, that my people be not scattered each man from his possession.

19 Hili ia naʻa ne ʻomi au ki he hūʻanga ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he veʻe matapā, ki he ngaahi potu fale tapu, naʻe ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki, ʻaia ʻoku hanga ki he potu tokelau: pea vakai, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae potu, ʻi hono potu ʻe ua ki lulunga.

Then he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers for the priests, which looked toward the north. And, behold, there was a place on the rear part westward.

20 Pea naʻa ne toki pehē kiate au, “Ko e potu eni ʻe haka ai ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki, ʻae feilaulau ʻoe fai hala, mo e feilaulau ʻi he angahala, pea ʻe taʻo ai ʻae feilaulau ʻoe meʻakai; koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa nau ʻave ia kituʻa, ki he lotoʻā kituʻa, ʻi he tāpuakiʻi ʻoe kakai.”

And he said to me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, and where they shall bake the meal offering, that they not bring them forth into the outer court, to sanctify the people.

21 Hili ia naʻa ne ʻomi au kituʻa, ki he lotoʻā kituʻa, mo ne ʻave au ke u ʻalu ki hono tuliki ʻe fā ʻoe lotoʻā; pea vakai naʻe ai ʻae lotoʻā siʻi ʻi hono tuliki kotoa pē.

Then he brought me forth into the outer court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court. And, behold, in every corner of the court there was a court.

22 ‌ʻI hono tuliki ʻe fā ʻoe lotoʻā, naʻe ai ʻae lotoʻā siʻi, ko e kiupite ʻe fāngofulu hono lōloa, pea mo e tolungofulu ʻa hono laulahi: pea naʻe fuofua tatau ʻae tuliki ʻe fā ko ia.

In the four corners of the court there were courts enclosed, forty long and thirty broad. These four in the corners were of one measure.

23 Pea naʻe tuʻu takatakai ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi potu fale ki loto, ʻi hono potu ʻe fā ko ia, pea naʻe ngaohi takatakai ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi hakaʻanga meʻa ki lalo.

And there was a wall round about in them, round about the four. And boiling-places were made under the walls round about.

24 Pea ne toki pehē mai kiate au, “Ko e ngaahi potu ia ʻanautolu ʻoku haka meʻa, ʻaia ʻe haka ai ʻe he kau tauhi ʻoe fale ʻae feilaulau ʻae kakai.”

Then said he to me, These are the boiling-houses, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.
