UHezekheli 41
1 Wasengingenisa ethempelini, walinganisa imigubazi, ububanzi babuyizingalo eziyisithupha ngapha, lobubanzi buyizingalo eziyisithupha langapha, ububanzi bethente.
He brought me to the nave and measured the posts, six cubits wide on the one side and six cubits wide on the other side, which was the width of the tent.
2 Lobubanzi bomnyango babuzingalo ezilitshumi; lamacele omnyango ayezingalo ezinhlanu kulolu uhlangothi, lezingalo ezinhlanu kuloluya uhlangothi. Waselinganisa ubude balo, izingalo ezingamatshumi amane, lobubanzi, izingalo ezingamatshumi amabili.
The width of the entrance was ten cubits, and the sides of the entrance were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side. He measured its length, forty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits.
3 Wasengena ngaphakathi, walinganisa umgubazi womnyango, ingalo ezimbili; lomnyango, ingalo eziyisithupha; lobubanzi bomnyango, ingalo eziyisikhombisa.
Then he went inward and measured each post of the entrance, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits; and the width of the entrance, seven cubits.
4 Waselinganisa ubude bayo, ingalo ezingamatshumi amabili; lobubanzi, ingalo ezingamatshumi amabili, ngaphambi kwethempeli. Wasesithi kimi: Le yingcwele yezingcwele.
He measured its length, twenty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits, before the nave. He said to me, “This is the most holy place.”
5 Waselinganisa umduli wendlu, izingalo eziyisithupha; lobubanzi bamakamelo aseceleni, izingalo ezine, inhlangothi zonke ezizingelezele indlu inhlangothi zonke.
Then he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the width of every side room, four cubits, all around the house on every side.
6 Njalo amakamelo aseceleni ayemathathu, ikamelo eliseceleni phezu kwekamelo eliseceleni, aphindwa ngamatshumi amathathu; njalo angena emdulini owawungowendlu yamakamela aseceleni inhlangothi zonke ezizingelezeleyo, ukuze abe lokubambeka, kodwa angabambeki emdulini wendlu.
The side rooms were in three storeys, one over another, and thirty in each story. They entered into the wall which belonged to the house for the side rooms all around, that they might be supported and not penetrate the wall of the house.
7 Kwaba khona ukuqhela, lokuzingelezela kusenyuka lokwenyuka kusiya emakamelweni aseceleni; ngoba ukuzingelezela kwendlu kwaqhubeka kusenyuka inhlangothi zonke ezizingelezele indlu; ngokunjalo-ke ububanzi bendlu baba sekwenyukeni; ngakho-ke kwenyuka kusuke kweliphansi kusiya kweliphezulu ngelingaphakathi.
The side rooms were wider on the higher levels, because the walls were narrower at the higher levels. Therefore the width of the house increased upward; and so one went up from the lowest level to the highest through the middle level.
8 Ngabona futhi ukuphakama kwendlu inhlangothi zonke ezizingelezeleyo; izisekelo zamakamelo aseceleni zazingumhlanga ogcweleyo; ingalo kwakuyimihlanga eyisithupha.
I saw also that the house had a raised base all around. The foundations of the side rooms were a full reed of six great cubits.
9 Ubuqatha bomduli, owawungowekamelo eliseceleni ngaphandle, babuzingalo ezinhlanu; njalo okuseleyo kwakuyindawo yamakamelo aseceleni ayengakuyo indlu.
The thickness of the outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits. That which was left was the place of the side rooms that belonged to the house.
10 Laphakathi kwamakamelo kwakulobubanzi bengalo ezingamatshumi amabili inhlangothi zonke zendlu, inhlangothi zonke ezizingelezeleyo.
Between the rooms was a width of twenty cubits around the house on every side.
11 Lezivalo zamakamelo aseceleni zazingakukho okuseleyo, esinye isivalo ngasendleleni yenyakatho, lesinye isivalo ngaseningizimu; lobubanzi bendawo yokuseleyo babuzingalo ezinhlanu inhlangothi zonke ezizingelezeleyo.
The doors of the side rooms were towards an open area that was left, one door towards the north, and another door towards the south. The width of the open area was five cubits all around.
12 Mayelana lesakhiwo esasiphambi kwendawo eyehlukanisiweyo ehlangothini ngendlela yentshonalanga, ububanzi babuyizingalo ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa; lomduli wesakhiwo wawuzingalo ezinhlanu ngobuqatha inhlangothi zonke ezizingelezeleyo, lobude bawo babuzingalo ezingamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye.
The building that was before the separate place at the side towards the west was seventy cubits wide; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length ninety cubits.
13 Waselinganisa indlu, ubude babuyizingalo ezilikhulu; lendawo eyehlukanisiweyo, lesakhiwo, lemiduli yayo, ubude babuyizingalo ezilikhulu;
So he measured the temple, one hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with its walls, one hundred cubits long;
14 lobubanzi bobuso bendlu, lobendawo eyehlukanisiweyo ngasempumalanga, izingalo ezilikhulu.
also the width of the face of the temple, and of the separate place towards the east, one hundred cubits.
15 Waselinganisa ubude besakhiwo maqondana lendawo eyehlukanisiweyo eyayingemva kwaso, lemikhandlo yaso ngapha langapha, izingalo ezilikhulu, lethempeli elingaphakathi, lamakhulusi eguma.
He measured the length of the building before the separate place which was at its back, and its galleries on the one side and on the other side, one hundred cubits from the inner temple, and the porches of the court,
16 Imibundu, lamawindi avaliweyo, lemikhandlo inhlangothi zonke kokuthathu, maqondana lombundu, kwembeswe ngamapulanka azingelezeleyo inhlangothi zonke, kusukela emhlabathini kusiya emawindini; amawindi-ke ayesibekelwe;
the thresholds, and the closed windows, and the galleries around on their three storeys, opposite the threshold, with wood ceilings all around, and from the ground up to the windows, (now the windows were covered),
17 kuze kube phezu komnyango, kuze kube sendlini engaphakathi lengaphandle, lakuwo wonke umduli inhlangothi zonke uzingelezele ngaphakathi langaphandle, ngezilinganiso.
to the space above the door, even to the inner house, and outside, and by all the wall all around inside and outside, by measure.
18 Njalo kwakwenziwe ngamakherubhi lezihlahla zelala, kuze kuthi isihlahla selala sasiphakathi kwekherubhi lekherubhi; njalo yilelo lalelo ikherubhi lalilobuso obubili.
It was made with cherubim and palm trees. A palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces,
19 Kuze kuthi ubuso bomuntu babukhangelene lesihlahla selala ngapha, lobuso bebhongo lesilwane bukhangelene lesihlahla selala ngapha. Kwakwenziwe endlini yonke inhlangothi zonke ezizingelezeleyo.
so that there was the face of a man towards the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion towards the palm tree on the other side. It was made like this through all the house all around.
20 Kusukela emhlabathini kuze kube phezu komnyango kwakwenziwe amakherubhi lezihlahla zelala, lasemdulini wethempeli.
Cherubim and palm trees were made from the ground to above the door. The wall of the temple was like this.
21 Imigubazi yethempeli yayilingana inhlangothi zone; mayelana lobuso bendawo engcwele, isimo sobunye sasinjengesimo sobunye.
The door posts of the nave were squared. As for the face of the nave, its appearance was as the appearance of the temple.
22 Ilathi lesigodo lalizingalo ezintathu ngokuphakama, lobude balo buzingalo ezimbili, lamagumbi alo, lobude balo, lemiduli yalo, kwakungokwezigodo. Wasesithi kimi: Leli litafula eliphambi kweNkosi.
The altar was of wood, three cubits high, and its length two cubits. Its corners, its base, and its walls were of wood. He said to me, “This is the table that is before the LORD.”
23 Kwakulezivalo ezimbili kulo ithempeli lakuyo indawo engcwele.
The temple and the sanctuary had two doors.
24 Njalo izivalo zazilempiko ezimbili, impiko ezimbili ezitshibilikayo; ezimbili ezesivalo esinye, lempiko ezimbili ezesinye.
The doors had two leaves each, two turning leaves: two for the one door, and two leaves for the other.
25 Njalo kwenziwa kuzo, kuzo izivalo zethempeli, amakherubhi lezihlahla zelala, njengokwakwenziwe emidulwini; kwakulamapulanka aqatha ebusweni bekhulusi ngaphandle.
There were made on them, on the doors of the nave, cherubim and palm trees, like those made on the walls. There was a threshold of wood on the face of the porch outside.
26 Kwakukhona amawindi avaliweyo lezihlahla zelala ngapha langapha, emaceleni ekhulusi lamakamelo endlu eceleni lamapulanka aqatha.
There were closed windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch. This is how the side rooms of the temple and the thresholds were arranged.
