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.

“‘The Lord GOD says: “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.

The prince 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 out, 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.

The people of the land shall worship at the door of that gate before the LORD 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.

The burnt offering that the prince shall offer to the LORD shall be on the Sabbath day, six lambs without defect and a ram without defect;

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

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.

On the day of the new moon it shall be a young bull without defect, six lambs, and a ram. They shall be without defect.

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.

He shall prepare a meal offering: an efah for the bull, and an efah for the ram, and for the lambs according as he is able, and a hin of oil to an efah.

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.

When the prince enters, he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and he shall go out by its way.

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 come before the LORD in the appointed feasts, he who enters by the way of the north gate to worship shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he who enters by the way of the south gate shall go out by the way of the north gate. He shall not return by the way of the gate by which he came in, but shall go out 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.

The prince shall go in with them when they go in. When they go out, he shall go out.

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.

“‘“In the feasts and in the appointed holidays, the meal offering shall be an efah for a bull, and an efah for a ram, and for the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an efah.

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.

When the prince prepares a free will offering, a burnt offering or peace offerings as a free will offering to the LORD, one 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 out; and after his going out one 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.

“‘“You shall prepare a lamb a year old without defect for a burnt offering to the LORD daily. Morning by morning you shall prepare it.

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.

You shall prepare a meal offering with it morning by morning, the sixth part of an efah, and the third part of a hin of oil to moisten the fine flour; a meal offering to the LORD 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, 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.

“‘The Lord GOD says: “If the prince 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 of his inheritance a gift to one of his servants, it shall be his to the year of liberty; then it shall return to the prince; 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 prince 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 not each be scattered 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 rooms for the priests, which looked toward the north. Behold, there was a place on the back 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.”

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 out 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 out 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 cubits long and thirty wide. These four in the corners were the same size.

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.

There was a wall around in them, around the four, and boiling places were made under the walls all around.

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