Ezekiel 43
1 Te phoeiah kai te vongka taengla n'caeh puei. Vongka te khothoeng longpuei la mael.
The man took me back to the east gate.
2 Te vaengah Israel Pathen kah thangpomnah tah khothoeng longpuei lamloh tarha ha thoeng. A ol te tui yet ol bangla lo tih diklai te a thangpomnah neh a tue.
There I saw the glory of Israel's God coming from the east. His voice sounded like a thundering waterfall, and the earth blazed bright with his glory.
3 Mueimae pakhat te a mueimae phek ka hmuh. Khopuei phae ham kai taengla ha pawk vaengkah ka hmuh mueimae phek la om. Mangthui khaw Kebar tuiva kah ka hmuh mueimae bangla om tih ka maelhmai te ka buenglueng.
The vision I saw was just like the vision I'd seen when he came to destroy the city of Jerusalem and like the visions I'd seen beside the River Kebar. I fell facedown on the ground.
4 Te vaengah BOEIPA kah thangpomnah tah khothoeng longpuei lamloh a hmai vongka longah imkhui la kun.
The glory of the Lord entered the Temple through the east gate.
5 Te phoeiah Mueihla loh kai te m'pom tih vongtung khui la kai te n'khuen. Te vaengah im te BOEIPA kah thangpomnah neh tarha bae.
Then the Spirit picked me up and took me into the inner courtyard, and the glory of the Lord filled the Temple.
6 Te vaengah im lamloh kai m'voek te ka yaak tih kai taengah aka pai hlang pakhat om.
I heard someone speaking to me from inside the Temple while the man standing beside me.
7 Te phoeiah kai taengah, “Hlang capa aw, he he ka ngolkhoel hmuen neh ka kho kah khopha hmuen ni. Israel ca rhoek lakli ah kumhal duela kho ka sak pahoi vetih ka ming cim te amih Israel imkhui neh a manghai rhoek loh a pumyoihnah nen khaw a hmuensang kah a manghai rhok nen khaw poeih uh voel mahpawh.
He told me, “Son of man, this is where I have my throne. It's my home where I will live among the Israelites forever. The people of Israel and their kings won't ever again disgrace me and my holiness by their acts of prostitution and by their honoring their dead kings in their pagan high places.
8 A cingkhaa te ka cingkhaa taengah, a rhungsut te ka rhungsut taengah a khueh uh tih kai laklo neh amih laklo ah pangbueng ni a om coeng. Ka ming cim he amamih kah tueilaehkoi a saii uh neh a poeih uh. Te dongah ni ka thintoek ah amih te ka thup.
When they built their homes right next to mine—their threshold beside my threshold and their doorposts beside my doorposts, with only a wall separating us—they disgraced me and my holiness by the disgusting sins they committed. That's why I destroyed them in my anger.
9 Amih kah pumyoihnah neh a manghai rhok te kai lamloh lakhla laeh saeh. Te daengah ni amih lakli ah kumhal duela kho ka sak eh.
Now if they get rid of their prostitution and their pagan honoring of their dead kings, and I will live with them forever.
10 Nang hlang capa aw, Israel imkhui taengah im kawng te puen pah. Te daengah ni amamih kathaesainah dongah a hmaithae uh vetih a cungkuemnah nen khaw a nueh u eh.
Son of man, tell the people of Israel about the Temple and they'll be ashamed of their sins. Have them carefully consider its plan,
11 Im kah a khui a lam a saii uh boeih te a hmai a thae uh atah a hmuenmol khaw, a thoengnah neh a kunnah khaw, a khui a lam boeih neh a khosing boeih khaw, ka khui ka lam boeih neh a khui a lam khaw, a olkhueng cungkuem dongkah a olkhueng khaw amih te ming sak. Amih mikhmuh ah daek lamtah a khui a lam boeih ngaithuen uh saeh. Te daengah ni a khosing boeih te a vai uh eh.
and if they're ashamed of everything they've done, then explain to them the Temple's design, its layout, exits, and entrances—the complete plan—as well as all its regulations, specifications, and laws. Write them down as they watch, so that they can remember its complete plan and follow all its regulations.
12 He tah tlang som im kah olkhueng ni. A khorhi kaep, kaep boeih tah cim rhoela cim. He he im kah olkhueng ni ne.
This is the Temple law: the whole area around the Temple on the mountain top is very holy. Pay attention: this is the Temple law.
13 He rhoek he a dong la a dong vaengkah hmueihtuk cungnueh coeng ni. Te te dong khat neh kutsom pakhat lo. Tungngol dong khat lo tih a daang dong khat neh a rhi hmoi ah khap at phueih om. He tah hmueihtuk dongkah sawn bong ni.
These are the measurements of the altar in cubits (a cubit and the width of a hand): The gutter is to be one cubit deep and one cubit wide, with a rim one hand span wide along its edge. The back of the altar
14 Diklai tungngol lamloh tungkha hmui hil dong nit neh a daang dong khat lo. Tungkha ca lamloh tungkha puei duela dong li neh a daang dong khat lo.
measured from the gutter on the ground to the lower ledge is to be two cubits. The ledge will measure one cubit wide. The distance from the smaller ledge to the larger ledge is to be four cubits, and the ledge one cubit wide.
15 Hmueihtuk tlang te hmueihtuk lamloh dong li hil a ki pali la cawn hang.
The altar hearth is to be four cubits high, with four horns pointing upwards from it.
16 Hmueihtuk te a yun hlai nit, a daang hlai nit neh a vae pali la hniboeng bangla om.
The altar hearth shall be square, its four sides each measuring twelve cubits.
17 Tungkha te a yun hlai li neh a daang hlai li lo saeh. A vae pali neh a rhi taengah dong kaek neh a tungngol te a kaepvai duela dong khat lo. A tangtlaeng te khothoeng la hooi saeh,” a ti.
The ledge is also to be square, measuring fourteen cubits by fourteen cubits, with a half-cubit rim and a one-cubit gutter all around it. The altar steps are to face the east.”
18 Te phoeiah kai taengah, “Hlang capa aw, ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. A soah hmueihhlutnah khuen ham neh a soah thii haeh ham hmueihtuk kah khosing he amah a saii khohnin ah coeng.
Then he told me: “Son of man, this is what the Lord God says: These are the regulations regarding the altar once it's built, so that it can be used to sacrifice burnt offerings and to sprinkle blood on it:
19 Te dongah Levi khosoih rhoek taengah pae kuekluek laeh. Amih Zadok tiingan lamloh ka taengah ha yoei uh. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni. Vaitotal te kai aka bong la, saelhung ca te boirhaem la om saeh.
You shall give a young bull as a sin offering to the Leviticus priests from the family of Zadok, who come and minister before me, declares the Lord God.
20 A thii te lo lamtah a ki pali dongah khaw, tungkha bangkil pali dongah khaw, a rhi kaepvai ah hluk. Te dongah te te cim sak lamtah dawth kuekluek.
Take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar, on the four corners of the ledge, and all the way round the rim. This is how you shall purify the altar and set it right.
21 Vaitotal te boirhaem la khuen lamtah rhokso voel kah im hloeh ah hoeh.
Then remove the bull for the sin offering and burn it in the designated place of the Temple area outside the sanctuary.
22 A hnin bae ah maae ca hmabuet te boirhaem la khuen. Te vaengah hmueihtuk te vaitotal neh a ciim uh bangla ciim uh saeh.
On the second day you are to bring as male goat without defects as a sin offering, and the altar shall be purified as it was purified with the bull.
23 Na ciim bawt bawt ah saelhung ca khuikah vaitotal hmabuet neh boiva khui lamloh tutal hmabuet te na nawn ni.
After you've finished the purifying process, you are to present a young bull and a ram, both free from defects.
24 Te te BOEIPA mikhmuh la khuen lamtah khosoih rhoek loh lungkaeh phul thil saeh. Te phoeiah BOEIPA taengah hmueihhlutnah la khuen saeh.
You are to offer them to the Lord. The priests shall sprinkle salt on them and sacrifice them to the Lord as a burnt offering.
25 Hnin rhih khuiah saii lamtah, hnin at dongkah boirhaem la maae khaw, saelhung ca khuikah tah vaitotal khaw, boiva khuikah tah tutal khaw a hmabuet te nawn uh saeh.
For seven days you are to supply a male goat daily for a sin offering. You are also to supply a young bull and a ram, they are both to have no defects.
26 Hnin rhih khuiah hmueihtuk te dawth uh saeh lamtah caihcil uh saeh. Te daengah ni a kut, a kut ah a cung u eh.
For seven days the priests are to set the altar right and purify it. This is how they will dedicate it.
27 Khohnin te cup tih hnin rhet dongla ana om ni. Te phoeiah tah nangmih kah hmueihhlutnah neh rhoepnah te khosoih rhoek loh hmueihtuk dongla khueh uh saeh lamtah nangmih te kan moeithen bitni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni,” a ti.
Once these days are over, then from the eighth day the priests are to present the burnt offerings and peace offerings of your people on the altar. Then I will accept all of you, declares the Lord God.”
