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.
Next the man sent me out to the outer courtyard on the north side, and he brought me to rooms in front of the outer courtyard and the northern outer wall.
2 Te tlangpuei thohka te a hmai hil a yun dong yakhat neh a daang dong sawmnga lo.
Those rooms were one hundred cubits along their front and fifty cubits in width.
3 A khui kah vongtung, dong kul hmai neh poengben vongtung lungphaih hmai kah thaelkawt te a hmai hil thaelkawt pathum la om.
Some of those rooms faced the inner courtyard and were twenty cubits away from the sanctuary. There were three levels of rooms, and the ones above looked down on the ones below and were open to them, having a walkway. Some of the rooms looked out onto the outer courtyard.
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.
A passage ten cubits in width and one hundred cubits in length ran in front of the rooms. The rooms' doors were toward the north.
5 Imkhan khaw thaelkawt loh a kang tih buengngol yung lakah khaw, a bangli lakah khaw caek hang.
But the upper halls were smaller, for the walkways took away from them more space than they did in the lowest and middle levels of the building.
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 the halls on the third story had no columns, unlike the courtyards, which did have columns. So the highest level's rooms were smaller in size compared to the rooms in the lowest and middle levels.
7 Imkhan dan kah poengben vongtung neh poengben vongtong longpuei kah imkhan hmai duela a sen dong sawmnga lo.
The outside wall ran along the rooms toward the outer courtyard, the courtyard that was in front of the rooms. That wall was fifty cubits in length.
8 Poengben vongtung taengkah imkhan te a yun dong sawmnga lo tih bawkim hmai ah tah dong yakhat lo coeng ne.
The length of the rooms of the outer courtyard was fifty cubits, and the rooms facing the sanctuary were one hundred cubits in length.
9 Imkhan hmui, imkhan hmui ah a khuirhai te puk. Vongtung poengben lamkah te khaw khothoeng la pawk bal.
There was an entrance to the lowest rooms from the east side, coming from the outer courtyard.
10 Khothoeng longpuei vongup vongtung a daang neh imtol khaw hmaitoh uh tih imkhan buengngol nen khaw hmaitoh uh.
Along the wall of the outer courtyard on the eastern side of the outer courtyard, in front of the sanctuary's inner courtyard, there were also rooms
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.
with a walkway in front of them. They were as the appearance of the rooms on the northern side. They had the same length and breadth and the same exits and arrangements and 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.
On the south side were doors into rooms that were just the same as on the north side. A passage on the inside had a door at its head, and the passage opened into the various rooms. On the east side there was a doorway into the passage at one end.
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.
Then the man said to me, “The northern rooms and the southern rooms that are in front of the outer courtyard are holy rooms where the priests who work nearest to Yahweh may eat the most holy food. They will put the most holy things there—the food offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering—for this is a holy place.
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.
When the priests enter there, they must not go out of the holy place to the outer court, without laying aside the clothes in which they served, since these are holy. So they must dress in other clothes before going near 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.
The man completed measuring the inner house and then took me out to the gate that faced the east and measured all the surrounding area there.
16 Te phoeiah khothoeng yilh te capu cungnueh dong nga neh a nueh vaengah a pum la capu cungnueh te capu pum yakhat lo.
He measured the east side with a measuring stick—five hundred cubits with the measuring stick.
17 Tlangpuei yilh te a nueh vaengah capu cungnueh ah capu pum ya nga lo.
He measured the north side—five hundred cubits with the measuring stick.
18 Tuithim yilh te capu cungnueh neh capu pum ya nga la a nueh.
He also measured the south side—five hundred cubits with the measuring stick.
19 Khotlak yilh te a mael thil tih capu cungnueh neh capu pum ya nga la a nueh.
He also turned and measured the west side—five hundred cubits with the measuring stick.
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.
He measured it on four sides. It had a wall around it that was five hundred cubits in length, and five hundred cubits in width, to separate the holy from that which is common.
