Ezekiela 43

1 Ary nentiny ho any amin’ ny vavahady aho, dia ilay vavahady manatrika ny atsinanana.

The man then brought me to the gate that opened to the east.

2 Ary, indro, tamy ny voninahitr’ Andriamanitry ny Isiraely avy tany atsinanana; ary ny feony dia tahaka ny firohondrohon’ ny rano be; ary ny tany dia namirapiratra azon’ ny voninahiny.

Behold! The glory of the God of Israel came from the east; his voice was like the sound of many waters, and the earth shone with his glory.

3 Ary ny tarehin’ ny zavatra hitako dia tahaka ny an’ ilay efa hitako, fony aho tonga handrava ny tanàna; ary nisy tahaka ny tarehin’ ilay efa hitako teo amoron’ ny ony Kebara ihany; ka dia nikarapoka nihohoka aho.

It was according to the appearance of the vision that I saw, according to the vision that I saw when he had come to destroy the city, and the visions were like the vision that I saw at the Kebar Canal—and I fell to my face.

4 Ary ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah dia niditra tamin’ ny vavahady manatrika ny atsinanana ho ao an-trano.

So the glory of Yahweh came to the house by way of the gate that opened to the east.

5 Dia nisy fanahy nanainga ahy ka nitondra ahy niditra ho ao amin’ ny kianja anatiny; ary, indro, feno ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah ny trano.

Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court. Behold! The glory of Yahweh was filling the house.

6 Dia reko fa nisy niteny tamiko tao an-trano; ary nisy lehilahy nitsangana teo anilako.

The man was standing beside me, and I heard someone else speaking to me from the house.

7 Dia hoy Izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, eto no hitoeran’ ny seza fiandrianako sy hitoeran’ ny faladiako, izay honenako mandrakizay eto amin’ ny zanak’ Isiraely; ary tsy holotoin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely, na izy na ny mpanjakany, amin’ ny fijangajangany sy amin’ ny sampin’ ny mpanjakany ao amin’ ny fitoerany avo intsony ny anarako masìna,

He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place for the soles of my feet, where I will live in the midst of the people of Israel forever. The house of Israel will no longer profane my holy name—they or their kings—with their faithlessness or with the corpses of their kings at their high places.

8 tamin’ ny nametrahany ny tokonam-baravaran’ ireny teo anilan’ ny tokonam-baravarako sy ny tolan’ ireny teo anilan’ ny tolako, rindrina ihany no teo anelanelako sy ireny, dia nolotoiny tamin’ ny fahavetavetana nataony ny anarako masìna; ka dia nahalany ringana azy tamin’ ny fahatezerako Aho.

They will no longer profane my holy name by putting their threshold next to my threshold, and their gateposts next to my gateposts, with nothing but a wall between me and them. They profaned my holy name with their disgusting actions, so I consumed them with my anger.

9 Fa amin’ izao kosa dia aoka hariany lavitra Ahy ny fijangajangany sy ny sampin’ ny mpanjakany, ka dia honina ao aminy mandrakizay Aho.

Now let them remove their faithlessness and the corpses of their kings from before me, and I will live in their midst forever.

10 Hianao, ry zanak’ olona, asehoy amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely ny trano mba hahamenatra azy ny amin’ ny helony, ka dia horefesiny ny mari-trano.

Son of man, you yourself must tell the house of Israel about this house so they will be ashamed of their iniquities. They should think about this description.

11 Ary raha menatra ny amin’ izay rehetra efa nataony izy, dia asehoy azy ny endriky ny trano mbamin’ ny fombafombany sy ny fivoahana avy ao aminy sy ny fidirana ho ao aminy ary ny endriny rehetra sy ny didy rehetra aminy, eny, ny endriny rehetra ary ny lalàna rehetra aminy; koa soraty eo imasony izany, hitandremany ny endriny rehetra ary ny lalàny rehetra ka hanatanterahany izany.

For if they are ashamed of all that they have done, then reveal to them the design of the house, its details, its exits, its entrances, and all its designs, all its decrees and rules. Then write this down before their eyes so they will keep to all its design and all its rules, so as to obey them.

12 Izao no lalàna amin’ ny trano: Ho masìna dia ho masìna avokoa izay rehetra voafaritra ho azy eo an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra. Eny, izany no lalana amin’ ny trano.

This is the regulation for the house: From the peak of the hill to all the surrounding border around it, it will be most holy. Behold! This is the regulation for the house.

13 Ary izao no mariky ny alitara araka ny hakiho, nefa isaky ny hakiho iray dia mihoatra vodivoam-pelatanana noho ny fanao: Ny fara-vodiny dia iray hakiho, ary iray hakiho koa ny sakany, ary ny koronosiny manodidina dia irain-jehy; ireo no fiorenan’ ny alitara.

These will be the measurements of the altar in cubits—that cubit being a regular cubit and a handbreadth in length. So the gutter around the altar will be a cubit deep, and its width will also be a cubit. The border around its surrounding edge will be one span. This will be the base of the altar.

14 Ary hatramin’ ny fara-vodiny eo amin’ ny tany ka hatramin’ ny rindriny ambany dia roa hakiho, ary ny sakany dia iray hakiho; ary hatramin’ ny rindriny iva ka hatramin’ ny rindriny avo dia efatra hakiho; ary ny sakany dia iray hakiho.

From the gutter at the ground level up to the lower ledge of the altar is two cubits, and that ledge itself is one cubit in width. Then from the small ledge up to the large edge of the altar, it is four cubits, and the large edge is a cubit in width.

15 Ary ny fanambonin’ ny alitara dia ho efatra hakiho, ary eo ambonin’ ny fatana dia hisy tandroka efatra.

The hearth on the altar for the burnt offerings is four cubits high, and there are four horns pointing upward on the hearth.

16 Roa ambin’ ny folo hakiho ny lavan’ ny fatana, ary roa ambin’ ny folo hakiho koa ny sakany, ary efa-joro sokera izy,

The hearth is twelve cubits in length and twelve cubits in width, a square.

17 Ary ny rindriny dia efatra ambin’ ny folo hakiho ny lavany, sy efatra ambin’ ny folo hakiho koa ny sakany, amin’ ny lafiny efatra; ary ny koronosiny manodidina dia antsasaky ny hakiho; ary ny fara-vodiny dia iray hakiho manodidina; ary ny ambaratongany dia manatrika ny atsinanana.

Its border is fourteen cubits in length and fourteen cubits in width on each of its four sides, and its rim is a half cubit in width. The gutter is a cubit in width all around with its steps facing east.”

18 Ary hoy izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Izao no didy ny amin’ ny alitara amin’ izay andro hanaovana azy, hanaterana fanatitra dorana sy hanopazana rà aminy:

Next he said to me, “Son of man, the Lord Yahweh says this: These are the regulations for the altar on the day they make it, for raising the burnt offering onto it, and for sprinkling blood on it.

19 Ny Levita mpisorona, taranak’ i zadoka, izay manatona Ahy hanao fanompoam-pivavahana ho Ahy, dia homenao vantotr’ ombilahy iray hatao fanatitra noho ny ota, hoy Jehovah Tompo.

You will give a bull from the cattle as a sin offering for the Levitical priests who are the descendants of Zadok, those who come near to me to serve me—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.

20 Dia hangalanao ny ràny ka hatentinao amin’ ny tandrony efatra sy amin’ ny zorony efatra amin’ ny rindriny ary amin’ ny koronosiny manodidina; izany no hanadiovanao azy sy hanaovanao fanavotana ho azy.

Then you will take some of its blood and place it on the altar's four horns and the four sides of its edge and on the surrounding rim; you will cleanse it and make atonement for it.

21 Halainao koa ny vantotr’ ombilahy hatao fanatitra noho ny ota ka hodorana ao amin’ ny fitoerana voatendry ao amin’ ny trano ivelan’ ny fitoerana masìna.

Then take the bull for the sin offering and burn it in the appointed part of the temple area outside of the sanctuary.

22 Ary amin’ ny andro faharoa no hanateranao osilahy tsy misy kilema hatao fanatitra noho ny ota; ary hodioviny ny alitara tahaka ny nanadiovany azy tamin’ ny vantotr’ ombilahy.

Then on the second day you will offer a male goat without blemish from the goats as a sin offering; the priests will cleanse the altar just as they cleansed it with the bull.

23 Ary rehefa vita ny anadiovanao azy, dia hanatitra vantotr’ ombilahy tsy misy kilema sy ondrilahy tsy misy kilema ianao.

When you finish its cleansing, offer an unblemished bull from the cattle and an unblemished ram from the flock.

24 Ary haterinao eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ireo, ary ny mpisorona handraraka sira eo aminy, dia hanatitra azy ho fanatitra dorana ho an’ i Jehovah.

Offer them before Yahweh; the priests will throw salt onto them and raise them up as a burnt offering to Yahweh.

25 Hafitoana no hanateranao osilahy isan’ andro hatao fanatitra noho ny ota sy vantotr’ ombilahy sy ondrilahy izay tsy misy kilema.

You must prepare a male goat as a sin offering daily for seven days, and the priests must also prepare an unblemished bull of the cattle and unblemished ram from the flock.

26 Hafitoana no hanaovany fanavotana ho an’ ny alitara sy hanadiovany azy ary hanokanany azy.

They must atone for the altar for seven days and purify it, and in this way they must consecrate it.

27 Ary rehefa tapitra izany andro izany, dia hiantomboka amin’ ny andro fahavalo ny hanateran’ ny mpisorona ny fanatitra doranareo ao amin’ ny alitara sy ny fanati-pihavananareo; ary dia hankasitrahako ianareo, hoy Jehovah Tompo.

They must complete these days, and on the eighth day and onward it will come about that the priests will prepare your burnt offerings and your peace offerings on the altar, and I will accept you—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.”
