Ezekiel 44

1 Lẹ́yìn náà ni ọkùnrin náà mú mi padà lọ sí ibi mímọ́, èyí tí ó kọjú sí ìhà ìlà-oòrùn, ó sì wà ní títì.

Then he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary that looks eastward; and it was shut.

2 Olúwa sọ fún mi, “Ẹnu-ọ̀nà yìí ni kí ó wà ní títì. A kò gbọdọ̀ ṣí i sílẹ̀; kò sí ẹni tí o gbọdọ̀ gba ibẹ̀ wọlé. Ó gbọdọ̀ wà ní títì nítorí pé Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli tí gbà ibẹ̀ wọlé.

And the Lord said to me, This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no one shall pass through it; for the Lord God of Israel shall enter by it, and it shall be shut.

3 Ọmọ-aládé fúnra rẹ̀ ní o lè jókòó ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà náà kí o sì jẹun níwájú Olúwa. Ó gbọdọ̀ gba ọ̀nà ìloro ẹnu-ọ̀nà wọlé kí ó sì gba ibẹ̀ jáde.”

For the prince, he shall sit in it, to eat bread before the Lord; he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go forth by the way of the same.

4 Lẹ́yìn náà, ọkùnrin náà mú mi gba ẹnu-ọ̀nà àríwá lọ sí iwájú ilé Ọlọ́run. Mo wò ó mo sì rí ògo Olúwa tí ó kún inú ilé Olúwa, mo sì dojúkọ ilẹ̀.

And he brought me in by the way of the gate that looks northward, in front of the house: and I looked, and, behold, the house was full of the glory of the Lord: and I fell upon my face.

5 Olúwa sì sọ fún mì pé, “Ọmọ ènìyàn, wò dáradára, fetísílẹ̀ dáradára kí o sì fiyèsí ohun gbogbo tí mo sọ fún ọ nípa òfin lórí ilé Olúwa náà. Fiyèsí ẹnu-ọ̀nà ilé Ọlọ́run náà àti gbogbo àbájáde ibi mímọ́.

And the Lord said to me, Son of man, attend with thine heart, and see with [thine] eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say to thee, according to all the ordinances of the house of the Lord, and all the regulations thereof; and thou shalt attend well to the entrance of the house, according to all its outlets, in all the holy things.

6 Sọ fún ọlọ̀tẹ̀ ilé Israẹli pé, ‘Èyí yìí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Ìwà ìríra rẹ tí tó gẹ́ẹ́, ìwọ ilé Israẹli!

And thou shalt say to the provoking house, [even] to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God; Let it suffice you [to have committed] all your iniquities, O house of Israel!

7 Ní àfikún pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn ìwà ìríra rẹ tí ó kù, ìwọ mú àwọn àjèjì aláìkọlà àyà àti ara wá sí inú ibi mímọ́ mi, ní lílo ilé mi ní ìlòkulò nígbà tí ìwọ fi oúnjẹ fún mi, ọ̀rá àti ẹ̀jẹ̀, ìwọ sì ba májẹ̀mú mi jẹ́.

that ye have brought in aliens, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, and to profane it, when ye offered bread, flesh, and blood; and ye transgressed my covenant by all your iniquities;

8 Dípò kí ìwọ pa òfin mi mọ́, ìwọ fi àwọn mìíràn sí ibi mímọ́ mi.

and ye appointed [others] to keep the charges in my sanctuary.

9 Èyí yìí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Àjèjì aláìkọlà àyà àti ara kò gbọdọ̀ wọ ibi mímọ́ mi, àti pẹ̀lú àwọn àjèjì tí ń gbé ní àárín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.

Therefore thus saith the Lord God; No alien, uncircumcised in heart or uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of all the children of strangers that are in the midst of the house of Israel.

10 “‘Àwọn Lefi tí wọn rìn jìnnà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ṣìnà, ti wọ́n sì ṣáko kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi láti tọ àwọn ère wọn lẹ́yìn gbọdọ̀ jèrè ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn.

But as for the Levites who departed far from me when Israel went astray from me after their imaginations, they shall even bear their iniquity.

11 Wọn le sìn mi ní ibi mímọ́ mi, kí wọn ṣe ìtọ́jú àwọn ẹnu-ọ̀nà ilé Ọlọ́run, kí wọn sì ṣe ìránṣẹ́ nínú rẹ̀; wọn le pa ẹbọ sísun, ki wọn sì rú ẹbọ fún àwọn ènìyàn, kí wọn sì dúró níwájú àwọn ènìyàn, kí wọ́n sì ṣe ìránṣẹ́ fún wọn.

yet they shall minister in my sanctuary, [being] porters at the gates of the house, and serving the house: they shall slay the victims and the whole-burnt-offerings for the people, and they shall stand before the people to minister to them.

12 Ṣùgbọ́n nítorí pé wọn ṣe ìránṣẹ́ fún wọn níwájú àwọn ère wọn, tí wọn sì mu ilé Israẹli ṣubú sínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀, nítorí náà, Èmi tí búra nípa nína ọwọ́ sókè pé, wọn gbọdọ̀ jèrè ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn, ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.

Because they ministered to them before their idols, and it became to the house of Israel a punishment of iniquity; therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, saith the Lord God.

13 Wọn kò gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ ọ̀dọ̀ mi láti ṣe ìránṣẹ́ fún mi, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àlùfáà tàbí súnmọ́ nǹkan kan nínú àwọn ohun mímọ́ mi tàbí ẹbọ mi mímọ́ jùlọ; wọn gbọdọ̀ gba ìtìjú ìwà ìríra wọn.

And they shall not draw nigh to me to minister to me in the priests' office, nor to approach the holy things of the children of Israel, nor [to approach] my holy of holies: but they shall bear their reproach for the error wherein they erred.

14 Síbẹ̀ èmi yóò mu wọn sí ìtọ́jú ilé Ọlọ́run àti gbogbo iṣẹ́ tí a gbọdọ̀ ṣe níbẹ̀.

They shall bring them to keep the charges of the house, for all the service of it, and for all that they shall do.

15 “‘Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn àlùfáà, tí ó jẹ́ Lefi àti àwọn ìran Sadoku tí fi tọkàntọkàn ṣe iṣẹ́ ibi mímọ́ mi nígbà tí àwọn Israẹli ṣáko lọ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi, wọn gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ iwájú láti ṣe ìránṣẹ́ ní iwájú mi, láti rú ẹbọ ọ̀rá àti ẹ̀jẹ̀, ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.

The priests the Levites, the sons of Sadduc, who kept the charges of my sanctuary when the house of Israel went astray from me, these shall draw night to me to minister to me, and shall stand before my face, to offer sacrifice to me, the fat and the blood, saith the Lord God.

16 Àwọn nìkan ni ó gbọdọ̀ wọ ibi mímọ́ mi; àwọn nìkan ní o gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ tábìlì mi láti ṣe ìránṣẹ́ ni iwájú mi, ki wọn sì ṣe iṣẹ́ ìsìn mi.

These shall enter into my sanctuary, and these shall approach my table, to minister to me, and they shall keep my charges.

17 “‘Nígbà ti wọ́n wọ àwọn ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgbàlá ti inú, wọn yóò wọ ẹ̀wù ọ̀gbọ̀, wọn kò gbọdọ̀ wọ aṣọ onírun nígbà tí wọ́n bá ń ṣiṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ ní àwọn ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgbàlá ti inú tàbí ni inú ilé Ọlọ́run.

And it shall come to pass when they enter the gates of the inner court, [that] they shall put on linen robes; and they shall not put on woollen garments when they minister at the gate of the inner court.

18 Wọ́n yóò sì dé fìlà ọ̀gbọ̀ sí orí wọn àti ṣòkòtò ọ̀gbọ̀ sí ìdí wọn. Wọn kò sì gbọdọ̀ wọ ohunkóhun tí yóò mú wọn làágùn.

And they shall have linen mitres upon their heads, and shall have linen drawers upon their loins; and they shall not tightly gird themselves.

19 Nígbà tí wọ́n bá lọ sì àgbàlá òde níbi tí àwọn ènìyàn wà, wọn gbọdọ̀ bọ́ ẹ̀wù tí wọ́n fi ń ṣiṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́, ki wọn sì fi wọn sílẹ̀ sí àwọn yàrá mímọ́ náà, kí wọn kí ó sì wọ ẹ̀wù mìíràn, wọn kì yóò sì fi ẹ̀wù wọn sọ àwọn ènìyàn di mímọ́.

And when they go out into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their robes, in which they minister; and they shall lay them up in the chambers of the sanctuary, and shall put on other robes, and they shall not sanctify the people with their robes.

20 “‘Wọn kò gbọdọ̀ fá irun, wọn kò sì gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ kí irun wọn gùn, ṣùgbọ́n wọn gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ kí irun orí wọn wà ní gígẹ̀.

And they shall not shave their heads, nor shall they pluck off their hair; they shall carefully cover their heads.

21 Àlùfáà kankan kò gbọdọ̀ mu ọtí nígbà tí ó bá wọ àgbàlá tí inú.

And no priest shall drink any wine, when they go into the inner court.

22 Wọn ko gbọdọ̀ fẹ́ opó ni ìyàwó, wọn kò sì gbọdọ̀ kọ ìyàwó wọn sílẹ̀, wọ́n lè fẹ́ àwọn ọmọbìnrin ti kò tí i mọ ọkùnrin rí, tí ó sì jẹ́ ìran àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, tàbí kí wọn fẹ́ àwọn opó àlùfáà.

Neither shall they take to themselves to wife a widow, or one that is put away, but a virgin of the seed of Israel: but if there should happen to be a priest's widow, they shall take [her].

23 Wọn yóò sì fi ìyàtọ̀ tí ó wà láàrín mímọ́ àti àìmọ́ kọ́ àwọn ènìyàn mi, wọn yóò sì fihàn wọ́n bi wọn yóò ṣe dá aláìmọ́ mọ̀ yàtọ̀ sí mímọ́.

And they shall teach my people [to distinguish] between holy and profane, and they shall make known to them [the difference] between unclean and clean.

24 “‘Nínú èyíkéyìí èdè-àìyedè, àwọn àlùfáà ní yóò dúró gẹ́gẹ́ bí onídàájọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí òfin mi. Wọ́n ní láti pa àwọn òfin àti àṣẹ mi mọ́ ní gbogbo àjọ̀dún tí a yàn, wọn sì gbọdọ̀ ya ọjọ́ ìsinmi mi ní mímọ́.

And these shall attend at a judgment of blood to decide it: they shall rightly observe my ordinances, and judge my judgments, and keep my statutes and my commandments in all my feasts; and they shall hallow my sabbaths.

25 “‘Àlùfáà kò gbọdọ̀ sọ ara rẹ̀ di aláìmọ́ nípa sísún mọ́ òkú ènìyàn; ṣùgbọ́n ti òkú ènìyàn yẹn bá jẹ́ baba tàbí ìyá rẹ̀, àbúrò rẹ̀ ọkùnrin tàbí àbúrò rẹ̀ obìnrin ti kò i ti lọ́kọ, nígbà náà o le sọ ara rẹ̀ di aláìmọ́.

And they shall not go in to the dead body of a man to defile themselves: only [a priest] may defile himself for a father, or for a mother, or for a son, or for a daughter, or for a brother, or for his sister, who has not been married.

26 Lẹ́yìn ìwẹ̀nùmọ́ rẹ̀, ki òun kí ó dúró fún ọjọ́ méje.

And after he has been cleansed, let him number to himself seven days.

27 Ní ọjọ́ ti yóò wọ àgbàlá ti inú ni ibi mímọ́ láti ṣe ìránṣẹ́ ibi mímọ́, ni kí òun kí ó rú ọrẹ ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.

And on whatsoever day they shall enter into the inner court to minister in the holy place, they shall bring a propitiation, saith the Lord God.

28 “‘Èmi ni yóò jẹ́ ogún kan ṣoṣo tí àwọn àlùfáà yóò ní. Ẹ kì yóò fún wọn ni ìpín kankan ní Israẹli, Èmi ni yóò jẹ́ ìní wọn.

And it shall be to them for an inheritance: I am their inheritance: and no possession shall be given them among the children of Israel; for I am their possession.

29 Wọn yóò jẹ ọrẹ ẹbọ jíjẹ, ọrẹ ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àti ọrẹ ẹbọ ìrékọjá; gbogbo ohun tí a bá yà sọ́tọ̀ fún Olúwa ni Israẹli ni yóò jẹ́ tiwọn.

And these shall eat the meat-offerings, and the sin-offerings, and the trespass-offerings; and every special offering in Israel shall be theirs.

30 Èyí tí ó dára jùlọ nínú gbogbo àkọ́so èso àti ọrẹ yín yóò jẹ́ ti àwọn àlùfáà. Ẹ ó sì fi àkọ́pò ìyẹ̀fun yín fún wọn kí ìbùkún lè wà lórí gbogbo ilé yín.

[And] the first-fruits of all things, and the first-born of all [animals] and all offerings, of all your first-fruits there shall be [a share] for the priests; and ye shall give your earliest produce to the priest, to bring your blessings upon your houses.

31 Àwọn àlùfáà kì yóò jẹ́ ohunkóhun bí i ẹyẹ tàbí ẹranko, tí ó ti kú fúnra rẹ̀ tàbí èyí ti ẹranko ńlá fàya.

And the priests shall eat no bird or beast that dies of itself, or is taken of wild beasts.
