1 Mgbe ahụ, nwoke ahụ kpọbatara m nʼọnụ ụlọ ezumezu ahụ, ọ tụrụ akụkụ ọnụ ụzọ ya. Akụkụ ya ọbụla dị mita atọ na ụma abụọ, nke a bụ obosara ụlọ ikwu ahụ.
[in the vision] the man brought me to into the Holy Place in the temple and measured the walls on each side of the doorway of that room: They were about (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) thick.
2 Obosara ọnụ ụzọ mbata ya dị mita ise na ụma atọ. Akụkụ aja abụọ nke ọnụ ụzọ ahụ dịkwa mita abụọ na ụma asaa. Ọ tụkwara ogologo ụlọ ezumezu ahụ; ya dịrị iri mita abụọ na otu nʼogologo, obosara ya dị mita iri na otu.
The entrance was (17-1/2 feet/5.3 meters) wide, and the walls of each side of it were (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) wide. He also measured the Holy Place, it was (70 feet/21.4 meters) long and (35 feet/10.7 meters) wide.
3 Mgbe ahụ, ọ banyere nʼime ime ebe nsọ ahụ, tụọ ogidi dị nʼọnụ ụzọ e si abanye nʼime ya, chọpụta na obosara nke ọbụla bụ otu mita na otu ụma, obosara ọnụ ụzọ ahụ nʼonwe ya dị mita atọ na ụma abụọ. Akụkụ aja nke ọnụ ụzọ ọbụla dị mita atọ na ụma asaa nʼobosara.
Then he entered the inner room [of the temple] and measured the walls of the entrance; [each was] (3-1/2 feet/1.1 meter) thick. The doorway was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) wide, and the walls on each side of the entrance were (12-1/4 feet/3.7 meters) long.
4 Ọ tụrụ ogologo ime ebe nsọ ahụ, ya dị mita iri na ọkara, obosara ya dịkwa mita iri na ọkara, nʼogologo ụlọ ezumezu ahụ. Ma ọ sịrị m, “Ebe a bụ Ebe Kachasị Nsọ.”
Then he measured the inner room: It was (35 feet/10.7 meters) long and (35 feet/10.7 meters) wide. He said to me, “This is the Very Holy Place.”
5 Ọ tụkwara mgbidi ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ chọpụta na ịdị igbidi ya bụ mita atọ na ụma abụọ. E nwekwara ọnụụlọ ndị dị gburugburu ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, nke ọbụla dị mita abụọ na otu ụma nʼigbidi.
Then he measured the wall of the temple: It was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) thick.[There was a row of rooms along the outside wall of the temple]. Each of those rooms was (7 feet/2.1 meters) wide.
6 Ọnụụlọ nta ndị a dị nʼokpukpu atọ, nke ọbụla nʼelu ibe ya, okpukpu ọbụla nwere iri ọnụụlọ atọ. E nwere mgbidi gbara aja ụlọnsọ ahụ gburugburu nʼakụkụ niile, ka ha bụrụ ihe nkwado nye ọnụụlọ nta ndị a, ka ihe nkwado ndị a ghara ịbụ ihe a rụnyere nʼaja ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.
There were three levels of rooms, one above the other. There were thirty rooms on each level. There were ledges all around the wall of the temple that were supports for those side rooms; so those supports were not built into the wall of the temple.
7 E wuru ọnụụlọ nta ndị a ka obosara ọnụụlọ ndị ahụ niile dị nʼelu ibe ha dị ukwuu karịa obosara ndị nke dị nʼokpuru ha. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, obosara ọnụụlọ niile dị nʼokpukpu nke abụọ dị ukwuu karịa nke dị nʼala; nke atọ dịkwa ukwuu karịa nke abụọ. E wukwara ebe e si arịgo site nʼokpukpu nke dịkarịsịrị ala rigoruo nʼọnụụlọ ndị kachasị elu, site nʼokpukpu nke dị nʼetiti.
Each of those side rooms was wider than the one below it. The most narrow rooms were built first, at the bottom. Then a wider set of rooms was built over it, and the widest set was at the top. A set of stairs was built from the lowest level through the middle level to the highest level.
8 Ahụrụ m na ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ nwere ebe e wuliri elu nʼakụkụ ya niile. Ọ bụkwa ebe a dị elu ka e ji mee ntọala ọnụụlọ nta ndị ahụ niile. Ịdị ogologo nke ebe ahụ e wuliri elu bụ mita atọ na ụma abụọ.
I saw that there was a terrace (OR, raised platform) around the temple. The terrace was the foundation for those side rooms; it was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) high.
9 Ịdị arọ nke mgbidi ọnụụlọ nta ndị a nʼakụkụ ezi bụ mita abụọ na ụma atọ. Ala tọgbọrọ nʼefu nʼetiti ọnụụlọ nta ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ,
The outer wall of those side rooms was (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) thick. All around those side rooms there was an open area that was (35 feet/10.6 meters) wide.
10 na ọnụụlọ ndị nchụaja dị mita iri na ọkara nʼobosara, gbaa gburugburu ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.
There was a row of rooms for the priests on each side of the outer wall of the inner courtyard.
11 E nwere ọnụ ụzọ ndị a na-esi abanye nʼọnụụlọ nta ndị ahụ, site nʼala ahụ na-enweghị ihe arụrụ na ya, otu ọnụ ụzọ nʼakụkụ ugwu, nke ọzọ nʼakụkụ ndịda. Obosara ala nke fọdụrụ dị mita abụọ na ụma atọ nʼakụkụ niile gbaa gburugburu.
There were two doors from those side rooms into another open area; one faced north and one faced south. That open area was (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) wide.
12 Ma ụlọ nke na-eche ihu nʼogige ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ, dị iri mita atọ na asaa nʼobosara, ịdị igbidi nke aja ụlọ ahụ dị mita abụọ na ụma atọ, gbaa gburugburu, ogologo ya dịkwa iri mita anọ na asatọ.
There was a large building on the west side of the temple area. It was (122-1/2 feet/37.1 meters) wide and (157-1/2 feet/47.7 meters) long. And its walls were [also] (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) thick.
13 Mgbe ahụ, ọ tụrụ ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, ya dịrị iri mita ise na atọ, ogige ụlọnsọ, na ụlọ ahụ nakwa mgbidi ya, dịkwa iri mita ise na atọ nʼogologo.
Then the man measured the temple. It was (175 feet/53 meters) long, and the [temple] courtyard, where the large building was, including its walls was [also] (175 feet/53 meters) wide.
14 Obosara nke ogige ụlọnsọ nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ, tinyere ebe ihu ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, dị iri mita ise na atọ.
The courtyard on the east side of the temple, across the front of the temple, was also (175 feet/53 meters) wide.
15 Ọ tụrụ ịdị ogologo nke ụlọ ahụ chere ihu nʼogige dị nʼazụ ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, tinyere ebe njegharị ya nke dị nʼakụkụ abụọ ya. Ọ dị iri mita ise na atọ. Ụlọ ezumezu ahụ, nʼime ebe nsọ ahụ, na mpụta nke ọnụ ụlọ, bụ nke chere ihu nʼogige ahụ,
Then he measured the building on the west [side]. Including its walls it was also (175 feet/53 meters) wide. The outer walls of the Holy Place, the Very Holy Place, and the entry room,
16 ya na ọnụ ụzọ ndị ahụ, na oghereikuku niile dị warawara, na ebe njegharị gbara ha atọ gburugburu, ihe niile, elu ma ala, tinyere ọnụ ụzọ bụ nke eji osisi mmachite. Ala ya, na mgbidi ya ruo na oghereikuku, ma oghereikuku niile bụkwa ihe ekpuchiri ekpuchi.
the inner walls above and below the windows, and the frames of the windows were all covered with [thin] panels of wood.
17 Nʼelu oghere dị nʼebe ọnụ ụzọ ezi, nke gara nʼime ebe nsọ, nakwa nʼahụ aja niile, na nkebi na nkebi, gbaa gburugburu nʼime na nʼezi ebe nsọ ahụ,
All the walls inside the temple were decorated [carvings of] winged creatures and palm trees: Between each figure of a winged creature was a carving of a palm tree. Each winged creature had two faces:
18 ka a tụrụ oyiyi cherubim na osisi nkwụ. Cherubim na-esota osisi nkwụ. Osisi nkwụ ọbụla na-esotakwa cherubim. Cherub ọbụla nwere ihu abụọ:
One was a face of a human, and one was the face of a lion. Those figures were carved on the walls all around the inside of the temple.
19 otu akụkụ cherub nke bụ ihu mmadụ chere ihu nʼotu nkwụ. Ihu ya nke ọzọ, nke bụ ihu ọdụm, chere ihu na nkwụ nke dị akụkụ nke ọzọ. A tụrụ ha gburugburu ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.
20 Site nʼala ụlọ ruo nʼelu ọnụ ụzọ ya, a tụrụ oyiyi cherubim na osisi nkwụ nʼahụ aja ụlọ ezumezu ahụ.
They covered all the walls, from the floor to the top of the walls.
21 Ọnụ ụlọ ezumezu ahụ nwere mbudo ibo nke akụkụ anọ ya ha otu nʼọtụtụ. Nke dị nʼihu Ebe ahụ Kachasị Nsọ, yiri ndị ọzọ.
At the entrance to the Holy Place of the temple there were square doorposts. In front of the Very Holy Place there was something that resembled
22 Ebe ịchụ aja ya bụ nke eji osisi wuo. Akụkụ niile nke ebe ịchụ aja a ha nʼotu. Ọ dị otu mita na ọkara nʼogologo, dịrịkwa iri sentimita itoolu nʼakụkụ ya ọbụla. Osisi ka e ji wuo nkuku anọ ya, akụkụ ya niile, na ntọala ya. Mgbe ahụ, nwoke ahụ gwara m, “Nke a bụ tebul na-adị nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.”
a wooden altar. It was (5.2 feet/1.6 meters) high and (3-1/2 feet/1.1 meters) wide on all four sides. Its corners and base and sides were [all made] of wood. The man said to me, “This is the table that is in the presence of Yahweh.”
23 Ma ụlọ ezumezu, ma Ebe ahụ Kachasị Nsọ, nwere ọnụ ụzọ abụọ, nʼotu nʼotu.
The Holy Place and the Very Holy Place had double doors.
24 Ọnụ ụzọ ọbụla nwere ibo abụọ, ibo abụọ nke a na-akwagharị gburugburu.
Each doorway had two doors that [on hinges].
25 A tụnyere onyinyo cherubim na osisi nkwụ nʼelu ibo na-edubanye nʼụlọ ezumezu ahụ, dịka ndị ahụ a tụrụ nʼahụ mgbidi niile. E jikwa osisi rụchie elu ihu mpụta nke ọnụ ụlọ ahụ.
On the doors of the Holy Place there were carvings of winged creatures and palm trees, like those on the walls of the Holy Place. There was also a wooden roof over the front of the entry room [of the temple].
26 Windo dị warawara dị nʼaja mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ahụ, nke e sekwasịrị oyiyi osisi nkwụ; ọnụụlọ nta niile nke ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ nwekwara ihe a rụnyere nʼelu ụzọ ya, nke a machiri amachi.
On the side walls of the entry room were narrow windows with [figures of] palm trees [carved] on the sides of the windows. The side rooms around the temple also had roofs.
