< Ezekiel 43 >

1 And he took me to the doorway looking to the east:
Pea hili ia naʻa ne ʻomi au ki he matapā, ʻae matapā ʻaia ʻoku hanga atu ki he potu hahake:
2 And there was the glory of the God of Israel coming from the way of the east: and his voice was like the sound of great waters, and the earth was shining with his glory.
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.
3 And the vision which I saw was like the vision I had seen when he came for the destruction of the town: and like the vision which I saw by the river Chebar; and I went down on my face.
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.
4 And the glory of the Lord came into the house by the way of the doorway looking to the east.
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.
5 And the spirit, lifting me up, took me into the inner square; and I saw that the house was full of the glory of the Lord.
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.
6 And the voice of one talking to me came to my ears from inside the house; and the man was by my side.
Pea naʻaku fanongo ki heʻene folofola mai mei loto fale; pea naʻa ma tutuʻu mo e tangata.
7 And he said to me, Son of man, this is the place where the seat of my power is and the resting-place of my feet, where I will be among the children of Israel for ever: and no longer will the people of Israel make my holy name unclean, they or their kings, by their loose ways and by the dead bodies of their kings;
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.
8 By putting their doorstep by my doorstep, and the pillar of their door by the pillar of my door, with only a wall between me and them; and they have made my holy name unclean by the disgusting things which they have done: so in my wrath I sent destruction on them.
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.
9 Now let them put their loose ways and the dead bodies of their kings far from me, and I will be among them for ever.
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.”
10 You, son of man, give the children of Israel an account of this house, so that they may be shamed because of their evil-doing: and let them see the vision of it and its image.
“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.
11 And they will be shamed by what they have done; so give them the knowledge of the form of the house and its structure, and the ways out of it and into it, and all its laws and its rules, writing it down for them: so that they may keep all its laws and do them.
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.
12 This is the law of the house: On the top of the mountain all the space round it on every side will be most holy. See, this is the law of the house.
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.”
13 And these are the measures of the altar in cubits: (the cubit being a cubit and a hand's measure; ) its hollow base is a cubit high and a cubit wide, and it has an overhanging edge as wide as a hand-stretch all round it:
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.
14 And from the base on the earth level to the lower shelf, the altar is two cubits high and a cubit wide; and from the smaller shelf to the greater shelf it is four cubits high and a cubit wide.
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.
15 And the fireplace is four cubits high: and coming up from the fireplace are the horns, a cubit high.
Pea ko e funga feilaulauʻanga ko e kiupite ia ʻe fā; pea ʻe ʻalu hake mei he feilaulauʻanga ʻae nifo ʻe fā.
16 And the fireplace is twelve cubits long and twelve cubits wide, square on its four sides.
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.
17 And the shelf is fourteen cubits long and fourteen cubits wide, on its four sides; the edge round it is half a cubit; the base of it is a cubit all round, and its steps are facing the east.
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.
18 And he said to me, Son of man, the Lord God has said, These are the rules for the altar, when they make it, for the offering of burned offerings on it and the draining out of the blood.
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.
19 You are to give to the priests, the Levites of the seed of Zadok, who come near to me, says the Lord God, to do my work, a young ox for a sin-offering.
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.
20 You are to take some of its blood and put it on the four horns and on the four angles of the shelf and on the edge all round: and you are to make it clean and free from sin.
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.
21 And you are to take the ox of the sin-offering, and have it burned in the special place ordered for it in the house, outside the holy place.
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.
22 And on the second day you are to have a he-goat without any mark on it offered for a sin-offering; and they are to make the altar clean as they did with the young ox.
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.
23 And after you have made it clean, let a young ox without a mark be offered, and a male sheep from the flock without a mark.
Pea ka hili ʻa hoʻo fakamaʻa ia, te ke ʻatu ha pulu mui ʻoku taʻehanomele, mo e sipitangata mei he fanga sipi ʻoku taʻehanomele.
24 And you are to take them before the Lord, and the priests will put salt on them, offering them up for a burned offering to the Lord.
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.
25 Every day for seven days you are to give a goat for a sin-offering: and let them give in addition a young ox and a male sheep from the flock without any mark on them.
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.
26 For seven days they are to make offerings to take away sin from the altar and to make it clean; so they are to make it holy.
Ko e ʻaho ʻe fitu te nau fufulu ai ʻae feilaulauʻanga mo fakamaʻa ia; pea te nau fakatapui ʻakinautolu.
27 And when these days have come to an end, then on the eighth day and after, the priests will make your burned offerings on the altar and your peace-offerings; and I will take pleasure in you, says the Lord.
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.”
