Ezekiel 40

1 In the twenty-fifth year of our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month—in the fourteenth year after Jerusalem had been struck down—on that very day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and He took me there.

Na mokolo ya zomi ya sanza ya liboso, sima na biso kokokisa mibu tuku mibale na mitano wuta tango tokendeki na bowumbu, na ebandeli ya mobu, ezalaki mobu ya zomi na minei sima na kobebisama ya engumba Yelusalemi, kaka na mokolo wana, loboko ya Yawe ezalaki likolo na ngai, mpe amemaki ngai kuna.

2 In visions of God He took me to the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain, on whose southern slope was a structure that resembled a city.

Na nzela ya bimoniseli, Nzambe amemaki ngai kati na Isalaele mpe atiaki ngai na likolo ya ngomba moko ya molayi makasi; mpe na likolo ya ngomba yango, na ngambo ya sude, ezalaki na bandako batonga lokola engumba.

3 So He took me there, and I saw a man whose appearance was like bronze. He was standing in the gateway with a linen cord and a measuring rod in his hand.

Tango amemaki ngai kuna, namonaki moto moko oyo lolenge na ye ezalaki lokola ebende ya bronze: atelemaki na ekuke ya engumba mpe asimbaki na loboko na ye singa moko ya lino mpe libaya oyo bamekelaka molayi.

4 “Son of man,” he said to me, “look with your eyes, hear with your ears, and pay attention to everything I am going to show you, for that is why you have been brought here. Report to the house of Israel everything you see.”

Moto yango alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, tala na miso na yo mpe yoka na matoyi na yo! Sala keba na makambo nyonso oyo nakolakisa yo, pamba te ezali mpo na kolakisa yo yango nde namemaki yo na esika oyo. Yebisa libota ya Isalaele makambo nyonso oyo okomona. »

5 And I saw a wall surrounding the temple area. Now the length of the measuring rod in the man’s hand was six long cubits (each measuring a cubit and a handbreadth), and he measured the wall to be one rod thick and one rod high.

Tala makambo oyo namonaki: mir moko ezingelaki lopango mobimba ya Tempelo. Kati na loboko ya moto yango, ezalaki na libaya oyo bamekelaka molayi: ezalaki na bametele pene misato na molayi. Tango amekaki yango, amonaki ete monene na yango mpe bosanda na yango ezalaki ya kokokana, ezalaki na bametele pene misato.

6 Then he came to the gate facing east and climbed its steps. He measured the threshold of the gate to be one rod deep.

Akendeki na ekuke oyo etala na ngambo ya este, amataki na bibutelo na yango mpe amekaki molayi ya ekotelo ya ekuke: mokuse mpe molayi na yango ezalaki na bametele pene misato.

7 Each gate chamber was one rod long and one rod wide, and there were five cubits between the gate chambers. The inner threshold of the gate by the portico facing inward was one rod deep.

Longwa na ekotelo kino na Tempelo, ezalaki na bandako mike ya bakengeli: misato na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi mpe misato na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali; molayi na yango mpe mokuse na yango ezalaki na bametele pene misato. Molayi oyo ekabolaki ndako moko ya bakengeli mpe ndako mosusu ezalaki na bametele pene misato. Longwa na ekotelo ya ekuke oyo elandaki kino na ndako moke ya kokotela oyo etalana na Tempelo, ezalaki na bametele pene misato.

8 Then he measured the portico of the gateway inside;

Amekaki molayi ya ndako moke ya kokotela na ekuke na libaya oyo bamekelaka molayi:

9 it was eight cubits deep, and its jambs were two cubits thick. And the portico of the gateway faced the temple.

ezalaki na bametele pene minei. Makonzi na yango ezalaki pene na metele moko na monene; ndako moke ya kokotela ezalaki etala na ngambo ya Tempelo.

10 There were three gate chambers on each side of the east gate, each with the same measurements, and the gateposts on either side also had the same measurements.

Ezalaki na bandako mike misato ya bakengeli, ngambo na ngambo, na ngambo ya ekuke ya este; bandako mike nyonso misato ezalaki ekokana, mpe molayi oyo ekabolaki ndako moko ya bakengeli na ndako mosusu, ngambo na ngambo, ezalaki mpe ekokana.

11 And he measured the width of the gateway entrance to be ten cubits, and its length was thirteen cubits.

Amekaki molayi ya ekuke: mokuse na yango ezalaki na bametele pene mitano, mpe molayi na yango ezalaki na bametele pene motoba na basantimetele tuku mitano.

12 In front of each gate chamber was a wall one cubit high, and the gate chambers were six cubits square.

Liboso ya ndako moko na moko ya bakengeli, na bangambo nyonso mibale, ezalaki na mwa mir moko oyo ezalaki na bosanda ya basantimetele pene tuku mitano, mpe ngambo moko na moko ya bandako nyonso ya bakengeli ezalaki na bametele pene misato.

13 Then he measured the gateway from the roof of one gate chamber to the roof of the opposite one; the distance was twenty-five cubits from doorway to doorway.

Amekaki molayi ya ekuke, longwa na suka ya mir ya sima ya ndako moko ya bakengeli kino na suka ya mir ya sima ya ndako ya bakengeli mosusu oyo etalana na yango, molayi na yango ezalaki na bametele pene zomi na mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano, longwa na suka moko kino na suka mosusu.

14 Next he measured the gateposts to be sixty cubits high. The gateway extended around to the gatepost of the courtyard.

Amekaki lisusu molayi ya bandako mike nyonso misato ya bakengeli elongo na molayi oyo ezalaki kokabola ndako moko ya moke mpe ndako mosusu: nyonso esalaki bametele pene zomi na mitano, longola veranda na yango.

15 And the distance from the entrance of the gateway to the far end of its inner portico was fifty cubits.

Longwa na ebandeli ya ekuke kino na suka ya ndako moke ya kokotela, ezalaki na bametele pene tuku mibale na mitano.

16 The gate chambers and their side pillars had beveled windows all around the inside of the gateway. The porticos also had windows all around on the inside. Each side pillar was decorated with palm trees.

Bandako mike ya bakengeli elongo na makonzi na yango ezalaki na maninisa ya milayi mpo na kotalela libanda. Na likonzi moko na moko, basalaki bililingi ya banzete ya mbila.

17 Then he brought me into the outer court, and there were chambers and a pavement laid out all around the court. Thirty chambers faced the pavement,

Amemaki ngai lisusu kati na lopango ya libanda. Kuna, namonaki bashambre mpe mabanga moko babongisa malamu penza, na mabele ya lopango mobimba; na likolo ya mabanga oyo babongisa malamu, ezalaki na bashambre tuku misato.

18 which flanked the gateways and corresponded to the length of the gates; this was the lower pavement.

Mabanga yango ezalaki suka na suka ya bikuke, mpe molayi na yango ezalaki ekokana na molayi ya bikuke.

19 Then he measured the distance from the front of the lower gateway to the outside of the inner court; it was a hundred cubits on the east side as well as on the north.

Amekaki molayi ya liboso ya ekuke ya se kino na liboso ya ekuke ya lopango ya kati: ezalaki na bametele pene tuku mitano na ngambo ya este.

20 He also measured the length and width of the gateway of the outer court facing north.

Bongo na ngambo ya nor, amekaki molayi mpe mokuse ya ekuke oyo etala na ngambo ya nor, ekuke oyo ememaka kino na lopango ya libanda.

21 Its three gate chambers on each side, its side pillars, and its portico all had the same measurements as the first gate: fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

Ezalaki na bandako na yango ya mike ya bakengeli: misato na ngambo moko mpe misato na ngambo mosusu. Makonzi na yango mpe ndako na yango ya moke ya kokotela ezalaki ndenge moko na ekuke ya liboso, na molayi mpe na mokuse: ezalaki na bametele pene tuku mibale na mitano na molayi, mpe bametele pene zomi na mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano na mokuse.

22 Its windows, portico, and palm trees had the same measurements as those of the gate facing east. Seven steps led up to it, with its portico opposite them.

Maninisa na yango, ndako na yango ya moke ya kokotela mpe bililingi na yango ya banzete ya mbila ezalaki ndenge moko na oyo ya ekuke ya ngambo ya este, na molayi mpe na mokuse. Mpo na kokota na ekuke yango, bazalaki komata na ematelo ya bibutelo sambo oyo ezalaki etalana na ndako moke ya kokotela.

23 There was a gate to the inner court facing the north gate, just as there was on the east. He measured the distance from gateway to gateway to be a hundred cubits.

Ezalaki mpe lisusu na ekuke moko kati na lopango oyo ezalaki etalana na ekuke ya ngambo ya nor, ndenge kaka ezalaki na ngambo ya este. Amekaki molayi, longwa na ekuke ya liboso kino na ekuke oyo ezalaki etalana na yango: ezalaki na bametele pene tuku mitano.

24 Then he led me to the south side, and I saw a gateway facing south. He measured its side pillars and portico, and they had the same measurements as the others.

Amemaki ngai lisusu na ngambo ya sude, mpe namonaki ekuke moko oyo etala na ngambo ya sude; amekaki molayi ya makonzi mpe ya ndako na yango ya moke ya kokotela: ezalaki ndenge moko na bikuke mosusu, na molayi mpe mokuse.

25 Both the gateway and its portico had windows all around, like the other windows. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

Ekuke mpe ndako na yango ya moke ya kokotela ezalaki na maninisa ya milayi mpo na kotalela libanda lokola maninisa ya bikuke mosusu: ezalaki na bametele pene tuku mibale na mitano na molayi mpe bametele pene zomi na mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano na mokuse.

26 Seven steps led up to it, and its portico was opposite them; it had palm trees on its side pillars, one on each side.

Mpo na kokota na ekuke yango, bazalaki komata na ematelo ya bibutelo sambo oyo etalana na ndako moke ya kokotela. Bililingi ya nzete ya mbila ezalaki na makonzi na yango na bangambo nyonso.

27 The inner court also had a gate facing south, and he measured the distance from gateway to gateway toward the south to be a hundred cubits.

Lopango ya kati ezalaki na ekuke moko etala na ngambo ya sude. Boye, amekaki molayi na yango, longwa na ekuke wana kino na ekuke ya libanda na ngambo ya sude: ezalaki bametele pene tuku mitano.

28 Next he brought me into the inner court through the south gate, and he measured the south gate; it had the same measurements as the others.

Amemaki ngai na kati ya lopango ya kati, na nzela ya ekuke ya sude; amekaki molayi mpe mokuse ya ekuke ya ngambo ya sude: ezalaki ndenge moko kaka na bikuke mosusu.

29 Its gate chambers, side pillars, and portico had the same measurements as the others. Both the gateway and its portico had windows all around; it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

Bandako na yango ya mike ya bakengeli, makonzi na yango mpe bandako na yango ya mike ya kokotela ezalaki ndenge moko na bikuke mosusu, na molayi mpe na mokuse. Ekuke mpe ndako na yango ya moke ya kokotela ezalaki na maninisa ya milayi mpo na kotalela libanda: ezalaki na bametele pene tuku mibale na mitano na molayi, mpe zomi na mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano na mokuse.

30 (The porticoes around the inner court were twenty-five cubits long and five cubits deep.)

Bandako moke ya kokotela ya bikuke, zingazinga ya lopango, ezalaki na bametele pene zomi na mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano na molayi, mpe bametele pene mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano na mokuse.

31 Its portico faced the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees. Eight steps led up to it.

Ndako na yango ya kokotela ezalaki etalana na lopango ya libanda. Batiaki bililingi ya banzete ya mbila na makonzi na yango mpe ematelo na yango ezalaki na bibutelo mwambe.

32 And he brought me to the inner court on the east side, and he measured the gateway; it had the same measurements as the others.

Amemaki ngai lisusu na lopango ya kati, na ngambo ya este, mpe amekaki molayi ya ekuke na yango: ezalaki ndenge moko na bikuke mosusu, na molayi mpe na mokuse.

33 Its gate chambers, side pillars, and portico had the same measurements as the others. Both the gateway and its portico had windows all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

Bandako na yango ya mike ya bakengeli, makonzi na yango mpe ndako na yango moke ya kokotela ezalaki ndenge moko na bikuke mosusu, na molayi mpe na mokuse. Ekuke mpe ndako na yango ya moke ya kokotela ezalaki na maninisa ya milayi mpo na kotalela libanda: ezalaki na bametele pene tuku mibale na mitano na molayi, mpe zomi na mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano na mokuse.

34 Its portico faced the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees on each side. Eight steps led up to it.

Ndako na yango ya kokotela ezalaki etalana na lopango ya libanda na yango; ezalaki na bililingi ya banzete ya mbila na makonzi na yango, na bangambo nyonso, mpe ematelo na yango ezalaki na bibutelo mwambe.

35 Then he brought me to the north gate and measured it. It had the same measurements as the others,

Amemaki ngai na ekuke ya ngambo ya nor mpe amekaki molayi na yango: ezalaki ndenge moko na bikuke mosusu, na molayi mpe na mokuse.

36 as did its gate chambers, side pillars, and portico. It also had windows all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

Bandako na yango ya mike ya bakengeli, makonzi na yango mpe ndako na yango ya moke ya kokotela ezalaki mpe na maninisa ya milayi mpo na kotalela libanda: ezalaki na bametele pene tuku mibale na mitano na molayi, mpe bametele pene zomi na mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano na mokuse.

37 Its portico faced the outer court, and its side pillars were decorated with palm trees on each side. Eight steps led up to it.

Ndako na yango ya kokotela ezalaki etalana na lopango ya libanda; batiaki bililingi ya banzete ya mbila na makonzi na yango mpe ematelo na yango ezalaki na bibutelo mwambe.

38 There was a chamber with a doorway by the portico in each of the inner gateways. There the burnt offering was to be washed.

Bandako nyonso ya mike ya kokotela ezalaki na shambre moko epai wapi bazalaki kosukola mbeka ya kotumba; shambre yango ezalaki etalana na makonzi ya ekuke.

39 Inside the portico of the gateway were two tables on each side, on which the burnt offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings were to be slaughtered.

Kati na ndako moke ya kokotela na ekuke, ezalaki na bamesa mibale, ngambo na ngambo, epai wapi bazalaki kobomela banyama mpo na mbeka ya kotumba, mbeka ya masumu mpe mbeka mpo na kozongisa boyokani.

40 Outside, as one goes up to the entrance of the north gateway, there were two tables on one side and two more tables on the other side of the gate’s portico.

Pene ya mir ya libanda ya ndako moke ya kokotela na ekuke, pene ya ematelo ya ekotelo ya ekuke ya nor, ezalaki na bamesa minei na ngambo moko ya ematelo.

41 So there were four tables inside the gateway and four outside—eight tables in all—on which the sacrifices were to be slaughtered.

Liboso ya ekuke, ezalaki na bamesa mwambe oyo bazalaki kobomela bambeka: minei na ngambo moko mpe minei na ngambo mosusu.

42 There were also four tables of dressed stone for the burnt offering, each a cubit and a half long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit high. On these were placed the utensils used to slaughter the burnt offerings and the other sacrifices.

Ezalaki na bamesa minei oyo basala na mabanga bakata mpo na bambeka ya kotumba; bazalaki kosalela yango mpo na kotia bisalelo oyo babomelaka bambeka ya kotumba mpe bambeka mosusu. Bamesa yango nyonso ezalaki ndenge moko: na molayi, na mokuse mpe na bosanda; molayi na yango ezalaki na basantimetele pene tuku sambo na mitano, mokuse na yango ezalaki na basantimetele pene tuku sambo na mitano mpe bosanda na yango ezalaki na basantimetele tuku mitano.

43 The double-pronged hooks, each a handbreadth long, were fastened all around the inside of the room, and the flesh of the offering was to be placed on the tables.

Batobolaki nzela moko ya basantimetele pene mwambe na zingazinga ya bamesa moko na moko; bazalaki kotia misuni ya bambeka na likolo ya bamesa yango.

44 Outside the inner gate, within the inner court, were two chambers, one beside the north gate and facing south, and another beside the south gate and facing north.

Na libanda ya ekuke ya kati, kati na lopango ya kati, ezalaki na bashambre mibale mpo na bayembi: moko ezalaki na ngambo ya ekuke ya nor, etalana na ngambo ya sude, mpe mosusu ezalaki na ngambo ya ekuke ya sude, etalana na ngambo ya nor.

45 Then the man said to me: “The chamber that faces south is for the priests who keep charge of the temple,

Moto yango alobaki na ngai: « Shambre oyo etala na ngambo ya sude ezali mpo na Banganga-Nzambe oyo basalaka mosala na Tempelo;

46 and the chamber that faces north is for the priests who keep charge of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, the only Levites who may approach the LORD to minister before Him.”

mpe shambre oyo etala na ngambo ya nor ezali mpo na Banganga-Nzambe oyo basalaka mosala ya etumbelo. Kati na bakitani ya Levi, bana mibali ya Tsadoki kaka nde bakoki kokota na Tempelo mpo na kosala mosala liboso ya Yawe. »

47 Next he measured the court. It was square, a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide. And the altar was in front of the temple.

Amekaki molayi ya lopango: ezalaki na bametele pene tuku mitano na molayi mpe na mokuse. Etumbelo ezalaki liboso ya Tempelo.

48 Then he brought me to the portico of the temple and measured the side pillars of the portico to be five cubits on each side. The width of the gateway was fourteen cubits and its sidewalls were three cubits on either side.

Amemaki ngai na ndako moke ya kokotela na Tempelo mpe amekaki molayi ya makonzi na yango: ezalaki na bametele pene mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano na bangambo nyonso; mokuse ya ekotelo ezalaki na bametele pene sambo, mpe bamir na yango ya mipanzi ezalaki na metele pene moko na basantimetele tuku mitano, ngambo na ngambo.

49 The portico was twenty cubits wide and twelve cubits deep, and ten steps led up to it. There were columns by the side pillars, one on each side.

Ndako moke ya kokotela ezalaki na bametele pene zomi na molayi, mpe motoba na mokuse. Bazalaki komata na ematelo ya bibutelo zomi mpo na kokota na ndako moke ya kokotela, na bangambo nyonso mibale. Batelemisaki likonzi moko na ngambo moko na moko ya ekotelo.
