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 the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looketh toward the east; 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 unto me, This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, neither shall any man enter in by it, for the LORD, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it; therefore 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.”

As for the prince, he shall sit therein as prince to eat bread before the LORD; he shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go out 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.

Then he brought me the way of the north gate before the house; and I looked, and behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house 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 unto me, Son of man, mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of the LORD, and all the laws thereof; and mark well the entering in of the house, with every going forth of the sanctuary.

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 rebellious, even to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD: O ye house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations,

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.

in that ye have brought in aliens, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to profane it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant, [to add] unto all your abominations.

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

And ye have not kept the charge of mine holy things: but ye have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.

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.

Thus saith the Lord GOD, No alien, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any alien that is among the children 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 the Levites that went far from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray from me after their idols; they shall 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 be ministers in my sanctuary, having oversight at the gates of the house, and ministering in the house: they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister unto 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 unto them before their idols, and became a stumblingblock of iniquity unto the house of Israel; therefore have I lifted up mine hand against them, saith the Lord GOD, and they shall bear their iniquity.

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 come near unto me, to execute the office of priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, unto the things that are most holy: but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.

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

Yet will I make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.

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.

But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me; and they shall stand before me to offer unto 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.

they shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge.

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 be that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.

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.

They shall have linen tires upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with [any thing that causeth] sweat.

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 forth into the outer court, even into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they minister, and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on other garments, that they sanctify not the people with their garments.

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.

Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only poll their heads.

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

Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter 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 for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away: but they shall take virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that is the widow of a priest.

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 the difference between the holy and the common, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the 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 in a controversy they shall stand to judge; according to my judgments shall they judge it: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all my appointed 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 come at no dead person to defile themselves: but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves.

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

And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him 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 in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, 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 they shall have an inheritance; I am their inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Israel; 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.

They shall eat the meal offering, and the sin offering, and the guilt offering; and every devoted thing in Israel shall be theirs.

And the first of all the firstfruits of every thing, and every oblation of every thing, of all your oblations, shall be for the priests: ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough, to cause a blessing to rest on thine house.

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

The priests shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself, or is torn, whether it be fowl or beast.
