Ezekiel 41

1 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.

Kisha yule mtu akanileta katika sehemu ya nje ya patakatifu, naye akaipima miimo; upana wake ulikuwa dhiraa sita kila upande.

2 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.

Ingilio lilikuwa la upana wa dhiraa kumi na kuta zilizojitokeza kila upande zilikuwa na upana wa dhiraa tano. Pia akapima sehemu ya nje ya patakatifu, nayo ilikuwa na urefu wa dhiraa arobaini na upana wa dhiraa ishirini.

3 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.

Kisha akaingia sehemu takatifu ndani ya Hekalu na kupima miimo ya ingilio, kila mmoja ulikuwa na upana wa dhiraa mbili. Ingilio lilikuwa na upana wa dhiraa sita, na kuta zilizotokeza kila upande zilikuwa na upana wa dhiraa saba.

4 He measured its length, twenty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits, before the nave. He said to me, “This is the most holy place.”

Naye akapima urefu wa sehemu takatifu ndani, nao ulikuwa dhiraa ishirini, na upana wake ulikuwa dhiraa ishirini hadi mwisho wa sehemu ya nje ya sehemu takatifu. Akaniambia, “Hapa ndipo Patakatifu pa Patakatifu.”

5 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.

Kisha akapima ukuta wa Hekalu, nao ulikuwa na unene wa dhiraa sita, na kila chumba cha pembeni kuzunguka Hekalu kilikuwa na upana wa dhiraa nne.

6 The side rooms were in three stories, 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.

Vyumba vya pembeni vilikuwa na ghorofa tatu, kimoja juu ya kingine, kila ghorofa ilikuwa na vyumba thelathini. Kulikuwa na boriti katika ukuta wote wa Hekalu ili kuimarisha vyumba vya pembeni, kwa hiyo boriti hizo hazikushikamanishwa kwenye ukuta wa Hekalu.

7 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.

Vyumba vya pembeni vilivyozunguka Hekalu vilizidi kupanuka kulingana na sakafu zilivyokwenda juu. Ujenzi uliozunguka Hekalu ulijengwa kukwea juu, kwa hiyo vyumba vilipanuka kwa kadiri ya kila kimoja kilivyokwenda juu. Ngazi za kupandia zilianzia sakafu ya chini hadi sakafu ya juu kabisa kwa kupitia sakafu ya kati.

8 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.

Nikaona pia kuwa Hekalu lilikuwa na kitako kilichoinuliwa pande zote, huu ulikuwa ndio msingi wa vile vyumba vya pembeni ambao ulikuwa na urefu wa ule ufito mmoja wa kupimia, yaani, dhiraa ndefu sita.

9 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.

Ukuta wa nje wa vyumba vya pembeni ulikuwa na unene wa dhiraa tano. Eneo la wazi katikati ya vyumba vya pembeni vya Hekalu

10 Between the rooms was a width of twenty cubits around the house on every side.

na vyumba vya makuhani lilikuwa na upana wa dhiraa ishirini kuzunguka Hekalu pande zote.

11 The doors of the side rooms were toward an open area that was left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south. The width of the open area was five cubits all around.

Kulikuwa na maingilio kwenye vyumba vya pembeni kutokea eneo lililo wazi, moja upande wa kaskazini na lingine upande wa kusini, nao msingi uliounganisha lile eneo la wazi ulikuwa na upana wa dhiraa tano ukilizunguka lote.

12 The building that was before the separate place at the side toward the west was seventy cubits wide; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length ninety cubits.

Jengo lililoelekeana na ua wa Hekalu upande wa magharibi lilikuwa na upana wa dhiraa sabini. Ukuta wa jengo hilo ulikuwa na unene wa dhiraa tano, kulizunguka lote, urefu ulikuwa wa dhiraa tisini.

13 So he measured the temple, one hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with its walls, one hundred cubits long;

Kisha akapima Hekalu, lilikuwa na urefu wa dhiraa mia moja na ua wa Hekalu na jengo pamoja na kuta zake vilikuwa na urefu wa dhiraa mia moja pia.

14 also the width of the face of the temple, and of the separate place toward the east, one hundred cubits.

Upana wa ua wa Hekalu upande wa mashariki, pamoja na upande wa mbele wa Hekalu ulikuwa dhiraa mia moja.

15 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,

Kisha akapima urefu wa jengo linaloelekeana na ua upande wa nyuma wa Hekalu, pamoja na vyumba vyake kila upande, ilikuwa dhiraa mia moja. Sehemu takatifu ya nje, sehemu takatifu ya ndani, pamoja na baraza inayoelekeana na ukumbi,

16 the thresholds, and the closed windows, and the galleries around on their three stories, opposite the threshold, with wood ceilings all around, and from the ground up to the windows, (now the windows were covered),

pamoja na vizingiti, madirisha membamba na vyumba vyote vitatu, kila kimoja pamoja na kizingiti vilifunikwa kwa mbao. Sakafu, ukuta mpaka kwenye madirisha na madirisha yenyewe vilifunikwa kwa mbao.

17 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.

Katika nafasi iliyokuwa juu ya upande wa nje wa ingilio la sehemu takatifu ya ndani, na katika kuta zilizozunguka sehemu takatifu ya ndani na sehemu takatifu ya nje, kwa nafasi zilizo sawa,

18 It was made with cherubim and palm trees. A palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces,

kulinakshiwa makerubi na miti ya mitende. Miti ya mitende ilikuwa kati ya kerubi na kerubi. Kila kerubi alikuwa na nyuso mbili:

19 so that there was the face of a man toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side. It was made like this through all the house all around.

upande mmoja uso wa mwanadamu kuelekea mti wa mtende na upande mwingine uso wa simba ukielekea mti mwingine wa mtende. Ilinakshiwa kuzunguka Hekalu lote.

20 Cherubim and palm trees were made from the ground to above the door. The wall of the temple was like this.

Kuanzia sakafu mpaka eneo lililo juu ya ingilio, palinakshiwa makerubi na miti ya mitende pamoja na kwenye ukuta wa nje wa patakatifu.

21 The door posts of the nave were squared. As for the face of the nave, its appearance was as the appearance of the temple.

Mahali patakatifu pa nje palikuwa na miimo ya mlango uliokuwa mraba na ule uliokuwa katika Patakatifu Pa Patakatifu ulikuwa unafanana na huo mwingine.

22 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.”

Kulikuwa na madhabahu ya mbao kimo chake dhiraa tatu na ilikuwa dhiraa mbili mraba pande zote, tako lake na pande zake zilikuwa za mbao. Yule mtu akaniambia, “Hii ni meza ambayo iko mbele za Bwana.”

23 The temple and the sanctuary had two doors.

Mahali patakatifu pa nje na Patakatifu Pa Patakatifu zilikuwa na milango miwili.

24 The doors had two leaves each, two turning leaves: two for the one door, and two leaves for the other.

Kila mlango ulikuwa na vipande viwili, vipande viwili vilivyoshikwa na bawaba vyenye kufunguka kwa kila mlango.

25 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.

Juu ya hiyo milango ya Patakatifu palinakshiwa makerubi na miti ya mitende kama yale yaliyonakshiwa kwenye kuta, na kulikuwa na ubao ulioningʼinia mbele ya baraza kwa nje.

26 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.

Katika kuta za pembeni za ukumbi kulikuwa na madirisha membamba yaliyonakshiwa miti ya mitende kila upande. Vyumba vya pembeni vya Hekalu pia vilikuwa vimefunikwa kwa mbao.
