Ezekiel 42

1 Kai te tlangpuei longpuei, longpuei kah vong voel la n'khuen. Te phoeiah kai te imtol hmai neh tlangpuei buengngol hmai kah imkhan la m'pawk puei.

And he brought me into the inner court eastward, opposite the northern gate: and he brought me in, and behold five chambers near the vacant space, and near the northern partition,

2 Te tlangpuei thohka te a hmai hil a yun dong yakhat neh a daang dong sawmnga lo.

a hundred cubits in length toward the north, and in breadth fifty,

3 A khui kah vongtung, dong kul hmai neh poengben vongtung lungphaih hmai kah thaelkawt te a hmai hil thaelkawt pathum la om.

ornamented accordingly as the gates of the inner court, and arranged accordingly as the peristyles of the outer court, [with] triple porticos fronting one another.

4 Imkhan hmai kah caehlong te a daang dong rha lo tih longpuei te a khui la dong khat phueih om. A thohka tah tlangpuei ah om.

And in front of the chambers was a walk ten cubits in breadth, the length [reaching] to a hundred cubits; and their doors were northward.

5 Imkhan khaw thaelkawt loh a kang tih buengngol yung lakah khaw, a bangli lakah khaw caek hang.

And the upper walks were in like manner: for the peristyle projected from it, [even] from the range of columns below, and [there was] a space between; so [were there] a peristyle and a space between, and so [were there] two porticos.

6 Te rhoek te pathum lo dae a tung tah vongtung tung bangla om pawh. Te dongah diklai lamlong tah a dang lakah khaw a bangli lakah khaw toek.

For they were triple, and they had not pillars like the pillars of the outer ones: therefore they projected from the lower ones and the middle ones from the ground.

7 Imkhan dan kah poengben vongtung neh poengben vongtong longpuei kah imkhan hmai duela a sen dong sawmnga lo.

And [there was] light without, corresponding to the chambers of the outer court looking toward the front of the northern chambers; the length [of them was] fifty cubits.

8 Poengben vongtung taengkah imkhan te a yun dong sawmnga lo tih bawkim hmai ah tah dong yakhat lo coeng ne.

For the length of the chambers looking toward the inner court was fifty cubits, and these are the ones that front the others; the whole was a hundred cubits.

9 Imkhan hmui, imkhan hmui ah a khuirhai te puk. Vongtung poengben lamkah te khaw khothoeng la pawk bal.

And [there were] doors of these chambers for an outlet toward the east, so that one should go through them out of the outer court,

10 Khothoeng longpuei vongup vongtung a daang neh imtol khaw hmaitoh uh tih imkhan buengngol nen khaw hmaitoh uh.

by the opening of the walk at the corner; and the south parts were toward the south, toward the remaining space, and toward the partition, and [so were] the chambers.

11 Te rhoek hmai kah longpuei te tlangpuei longpuei kah imkhan hmuethma bangla om. A yun neh a daang khaw, a thoengnah boeih khaw thikat. A laitloeknah te vantlip tih a thohka khaw vantlip.

And the walk was in front of them, according to the measures of the chambers toward the north, both according to the length of them, and according to the breadth of them, and according to all their openings, an according to all their turnings, and according to their lights, and according to their doors.

12 Tuithim longpuei kah imkhan thohka bangla longpuei a tongnah kah thohka khaw vantlip. Tanglung hmai kah longpuei tah khothoeng longpuei kah pawnhlainah la pawk.

[So were the measures] of the chambers toward the south, and according to the doors at the entrance of the walk, as it were the distance of a reed for light, and eastward as one went in by them.

13 Te vaengah kai taengah ah, “Tlangpuei imkhan rhoek neh tuithim imkhan te imtol a hmaitoh lah ko. Te imkhan rhoek tah cim tih, te a cim kah aka cim BOEIPA taengah aka yoei khosoih rhoek loh buh a caak uh. Hmuen cim la a om dongah khocang khaw, boirhaem neh hmaithennah khaw, a cim a cim ni a tloeng uh eh.

And he said to me, The chambers toward the north, and the chambers toward the south, in front of the void spaces, these are the chambers of the sanctuary, wherein the priests the sons of Sadduc, who draw night to the Lord, shall eat the most holy things: and there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat-offering, and the sin-offerings, and the trespass-offerings; because the place is holy.

14 Khosoih rhoek a kun vaengah hmuencim lamloh poengben vongtung la moe boel saeh. He tah a cim dongah a bibi vaengkah a himbai te a pum dong lamloh pit uh kuekluek dae saeh. A bai khaw himbai tloe a bai uh daengah pilnam taengah te mop saeh,” a ti.

None shall go in thither except the priests, [and] they shall not go forth of the holy place into the outer court, that they that draw nigh [to me] may be continually holy, and may not touch their garments in which they minister, [with defilement], for they are holy; and they shall put on other garments whenever they come in contact with the people.

15 Im khui a cungnueh te a khah neh kai vongka longpuei la n'khuen. Te long te khothoeng longpuei a hmaitoh tih a kaep kaep ah a nueh.

So the measurement of the house within was accomplished: and he brought me forth by the way of the gate that looks eastward, and measured the plan of the house round about in order.

16 Te phoeiah khothoeng yilh te capu cungnueh dong nga neh a nueh vaengah a pum la capu cungnueh te capu pum yakhat lo.

And he stood behind the gate looking eastward, and measured five hundred [cubits] with the measuring reed.

17 Tlangpuei yilh te a nueh vaengah capu cungnueh ah capu pum ya nga lo.

And he turned to the north and measured in front of the north [side] five hundred cubits with the measuring reed.

18 Tuithim yilh te capu cungnueh neh capu pum ya nga la a nueh.

And he turned to the west, and measured in front of the west side, five hundred [cubits] with the measuring reed.

19 Khotlak yilh te a mael thil tih capu cungnueh neh capu pum ya nga la a nueh.

And he turned to the south, and measured in front of the south side, five hundred [cubits] by the measuring reed.

20 A vongtung te a kaep kaep ah pali la yilh a nueh vaengah ah a yun ya nga neh a daang ya nga lo. Te long te hmuencim te hmuenrhong lamloh a laklo ah a boe.

The [four sides he measured] by the same reed, and he marked out the house and the circumference of the parts round about, [a space] of five hundred [cubits] eastward, and a breadth of five hundred cubits, to make a division between the sanctuary and the outer wall, that [belonged to] the design of the house.
