Ehekiera 41

1 Na ka kawea ahau e ia ki te temepara; kei te whanganga i nga pou, e ono whatianga te whanui i tetahi taha, e ono whatianga te whanui i tetahi taha, ko te whanui tera o te tapenakara.

Then the man brought me into the temple's holy place and measured the doorposts—six cubits in width on either side.

2 Na, ko te whanui o te tatau, kotahi tekau whatianga; ko nga taha o te tatau, e rima nga whatianga i tetahi taha, e rima nga whatianga i tetahi taha; i whanganga ano ia i to reira roa, e wha tekau whatianga; ko te whanui e rua tekau whatianga.

The width of the doorway was ten cubits; the wall on each side was five cubits in length. Then the man measured the dimensions of the holy place—forty cubits in length and twenty cubits in width.

3 Katahi ia ka haere ki roto, kei te whanganga i te pou o te kuwaha, e rua whatianga; ko te kuwaha, e ono whatianga; ko te whanui o te kuwaha e whitu whatianga.

Then the man went into the very holy place and measured the posts of the doorway—two cubits, and the doorway was six cubits in width. The walls on either side were seven cubits in width.

4 Heoi whanganga ana ia i to reira roa, e rua tekau whatianga te whanui, e rua tekau whatianga i mua i te temepara. Na ka mea ia ki ahau, Ko te wahi tino tapu tenei.

Then he measured the room's length—twenty cubits. Its width—twenty cubits to the front of the temple hall. Then he said to me, “This is the most holy place.”

5 Muri iho ka whanganga ia i te taha o te whare, e ono whatianga; me te whanui ano i nga ruma o te taha, e wha whatianga, i nga taha o te whare a taka noa.

Then the man measured the wall of the house—it was six cubits thick. The width of each side room around the house was four cubits in width.

6 Na e toru nga whakapaparanga o nga ruma i te taha, ko tetahi i runga i tetahi, e toru tekau ki te rarangi, i ngoto ki te pakitara, ki to te whare, hei ruma mo nga taha a taka noa, kia u ai ki reira, kahore ia he unga i te pakitara o te whare.

There were side rooms on three levels, one room above another, thirty rooms on each level. There were ledges around the wall of the house, to support all of the side rooms, for there was no support put in the wall of the house.

7 Na ka nui haere a whawhe noa whakarunga nga ruma o te taha; i haere tonu hoki whakarunga te karapotinga o te whare a taka noa: no reira haere tonu te whanui o te whare whakarunga, nui haere atu ana i to raro rawa tae noa ki to runga, ma waenga.

So the side rooms widened and went around going up, for the house went around higher and higher all around; the rooms widened as the house went up, and a stairway went up to the highest level, through the middle level.

8 I kite ano ahau i te tiketike o te whare a whawhe noa: ko nga turanga o nga ruma, kotahi tino kakaho e ono nei ona whatianga nui.

Then I saw a raised part all around the house, the foundation for the side chambers; it measured a full stick in height—six cubits.

9 Ko te matotoru o te pakitara, o tera mo nga ruma i nga taha, i waho, e rima whatianga; a ko te mea i mahue ko te wahi o nga ruma o te taha, no te whare era.

The width of the wall of the side rooms on the outside was five cubits. There was an open space to the outside of these rooms in the sanctuary.

10 Na he takiwa kei waenganui i nga ruma, e rua tekau whatianga, i nga taha katoa o te whare a taka noa.

On the other side of this open space were the priests' outer side rooms; this space was twenty cubits in width all around the sanctuary.

11 A i anga nga tatau o nga ruma ki te wahi i mahue, ko tetahi tatau ki te raki, ko tetahi tatau ki te tonga: a ko te whanui o te wahi i mahue e rima whatianga a tawhio noa.

There were doors into the side rooms from another open space—one doorway was on the north side, and the other on the south side. The width of this open area was five cubits all around.

12 Na, ko te whare i mua i te wahi motuhake i te pito ki te hauauru, e whitu tekau whatianga te whanui: a e rima whatianga te matotoru o te pakitara o taua whare a tawhio noa; tona roa e iwa tekau whatianga.

The building that faced the courtyard on the west side was seventy cubits in width. Its wall measured five cubits thick all around, and it was ninety cubits in length.

13 Heoi ka whanganga ia i te whare, kotahi rau whatianga te roa; me te wahi motuhake, me taua whare, me ona taha, kotahi rau whatianga te roa;

Then the man measured the sanctuary—one hundred cubits in length. The separated building, its wall, and the courtyard also measured one hundred cubits in length.

14 Me te whanui o te aroaro o te whare, o te wahi motuhake ano whaka te rawhiti, kotahi rau whatianga.

The width of the front of the courtyard in front of the sanctuary was also one hundred cubits.

15 I whanganga ano ia i te roa o te whare i te ritenga mai o te wahi motuhake, i muri hoki tera i tenei; me ona ara i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, kotahi rau whatianga; me te temepara i roto, me nga whakamahau o te marae;

Then the man measured the length of the building behind the sanctuary, to its west, and the galleries on either side—one hundred cubits. The holy place and the portico,

16 Ko nga pou tatau, ko nga matapihi kuiti, me nga ara i nga whakapaparanga e toru a taka noa i te ritenga atu o te tatau, he mea paparua ki te rakau a taka noa, he mea pera ano i te whenua a tae noa ki nga hatapihi; he mea hipoki ano nga matapihi;

the inner walls and the windows, including the narrow windows, and the galleries all around on three levels, were all paneled in wood.

17 Tae noa ki te wahi i runga ake i te tatau, ki te whare i roto, ki to waho, i te pakitara katoa a tawhio noa, i roto, i waho, he mea whanganga.

Above the entryway to the inner sanctuary and spaced along the walls there was a measured pattern.

18 I mahia ano ki reira he kerupima, he nikau; he nikau i te takiwa o tetahi kerupa, o tetahi kerupa, e rua hoki nga mata o te kerupa kotahi.

It was decorated with cherubim and palm trees; with a palm tree between each cherub, and each cherub had two faces:

19 I anga te mata tangata ki te nikau i tetahi taha, te mata o te raiona ki te nikau i tetahi taha; i peratia te mahinga puta noa i te whare, a tawhio noa.

the face of a man looked toward a palm tree on one side, and the face of a young lion looked toward a palm tree on the other side. They were carved all around the entire house.

20 I te whenua a tae noa ki runga ake i te tatau i hanga he kerupima, he nikau, he penei te pakitara o te temepara.

From the ground to above the doorway, cherubim and palm trees were carved on the outer wall of the house.

21 He tapawha nga pou o te temepara; na, ko te aronga mai o te wahi tapu, ko te ahua, rite tonu ki te ahua o te temepara.

The gate posts of the holy place were square. Their appearance was like the appearance of

22 Ko te aata he rakau, e toru whatianga te tiketike, a ko te roa e rua whatianga; na, ko nga koki, ko tona roanga, ko ona pakitara, he rakau. Na ko tana kianga mai ki ahau, Ko te tepu tenei i te aroaro o Ihowa.

the wooden altar in front of the holy place, which was three cubits high and two cubits in length on each side. Its corner posts, base, and frame were made of wood. Then the man said to me, “This is the table that stands before Yahweh.”

23 A e rua nga tatau o te temepara, o te wahi tapu.

There were double doors for the holy place and the most holy place.

24 Ko nga tatau he aparua, huri ai nga apa; e rua nga apa mo tetahi o nga tatau, e rua nga apa mo tetahi.

These doors had two hinged door panels each, two panels for one door and two panels for the other.

25 I mahia ano ki aua tatau o te temepara etahi kerupima me etahi nikau, he mea rite tonu ki era i mahia ki nga pakitara; he papa matotoru hoki i te aronga o te whakamahau i te taha ki waho.

Carved on them—on the doors of the holy place—were cherubim and palm trees just as the walls were decorated, and there was a wooden roof over the portico at the front.

26 A he matapihi kuiti, he nikau hoki, i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, i nga taha hoki o te whakamahau: koia era, ko nga ruma o te taha o te whare, me nga papa matotoru hoki.

There were narrow windows and palm trees on either side of the portico. These were the side rooms of the house, and they also had overhanging roofs.
