Ezekiel 44

1 And he brought me back to the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary, which looked towards the east: and it was shut.

Lẹ́yìn náà ni ọkùnrin náà mú mi padà lọ sí ibi mímọ́, èyí tí ó kọjú sí ìhà ìlà-oòrùn, ó sì wà ní títì.

2 And the Lord said to me: This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall pass through it: because the Lord the God of Israel hath entered in by it, and it shall be shut

Olúwa sọ fún mi, “Ẹnu-ọ̀nà yìí ni kí ó wà ní títì. A kò gbọdọ̀ ṣí i sílẹ̀; kò sí ẹni tí o gbọdọ̀ gba ibẹ̀ wọlé. Ó gbọdọ̀ wà ní títì nítorí pé Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli tí gbà ibẹ̀ wọlé.

3 For the prince. The prince himself shall sit in it, to eat bread before the Lord: he shall enter in by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go out by the same way.

Ọmọ-aládé fúnra rẹ̀ ní o lè jókòó ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà náà kí o sì jẹun níwájú Olúwa. Ó gbọdọ̀ gba ọ̀nà ìloro ẹnu-ọ̀nà wọlé kí ó sì gba ibẹ̀ jáde.”

4 And he brought me by the way of the north gate, in the sight of the house: and I saw, and behold the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord: and I fell on my face.

Lẹ́yìn náà, ọkùnrin náà mú mi gba ẹnu-ọ̀nà àríwá lọ sí iwájú ilé Ọlọ́run. Mo wò ó mo sì rí ògo Olúwa tí ó kún inú ilé Olúwa, mo sì dojúkọ ilẹ̀.

5 And the Lord said to me: Son of man, attend with thy heart, and behold with thy eyes, and hear with thy ears, all that I say to thee concerning all the ceremonies of the house of the Lord, and concerning all the laws thereof: and mark well the ways of the temple, with all the goings out of the sanctuary.

Olúwa sì sọ fún mì pé, “Ọmọ ènìyàn, wò dáradára, fetísílẹ̀ dáradára kí o sì fiyèsí ohun gbogbo tí mo sọ fún ọ nípa òfin lórí ilé Olúwa náà. Fiyèsí ẹnu-ọ̀nà ilé Ọlọ́run náà àti gbogbo àbájáde ibi mímọ́.

6 And thou shalt say to the house of Israel that provoketh me: Thus saith the Lord God: Let all your wicked doings suffice you, O house of Israel:

Sọ fún ọlọ̀tẹ̀ ilé Israẹli pé, ‘Èyí yìí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Ìwà ìríra rẹ tí tó gẹ́ẹ́, ìwọ ilé Israẹli!

7 In that you have brought in strangers uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, and to defile my house: and you offer my bread, the fat, and the blood: and you have broken my covenant by all your wicked doings.

Ní àfikún pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn ìwà ìríra rẹ tí ó kù, ìwọ mú àwọn àjèjì aláìkọlà àyà àti ara wá sí inú ibi mímọ́ mi, ní lílo ilé mi ní ìlòkulò nígbà tí ìwọ fi oúnjẹ fún mi, ọ̀rá àti ẹ̀jẹ̀, ìwọ sì ba májẹ̀mú mi jẹ́.

8 And you have not kept the ordinances of my sanctuary: but you have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.

Dípò kí ìwọ pa òfin mi mọ́, ìwọ fi àwọn mìíràn sí ibi mímọ́ mi.

9 Thus saith the Lord God: No stranger uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, no stranger that is in the midst of the children of Israel.

Èyí yìí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Àjèjì aláìkọlà àyà àti ara kò gbọdọ̀ wọ ibi mímọ́ mi, àti pẹ̀lú àwọn àjèjì tí ń gbé ní àárín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.

10 Moreover the Levites that went away far from me, when the children of Israel went astray, and have wandered from me after their idols, and have borne their iniquity:

“‘Àwọn Lefi tí wọn rìn jìnnà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ṣìnà, ti wọ́n sì ṣáko kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi láti tọ àwọn ère wọn lẹ́yìn gbọdọ̀ jèrè ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn.

11 They shall be officers in my sanctuary, and doorkeepers of the gates of the house, and ministers to the house: they shall slay the holocausts, and the victims of the people: and they shall stand in their sight, to minister to them.

Wọn le sìn mi ní ibi mímọ́ mi, kí wọn ṣe ìtọ́jú àwọn ẹnu-ọ̀nà ilé Ọlọ́run, kí wọn sì ṣe ìránṣẹ́ nínú rẹ̀; wọn le pa ẹbọ sísun, ki wọn sì rú ẹbọ fún àwọn ènìyàn, kí wọn sì dúró níwájú àwọn ènìyàn, kí wọ́n sì ṣe ìránṣẹ́ fún wọn.

12 Because they ministered to them before their idols, and were a stumblingblock of iniquity to the house of Israel: therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, saith the Lord God, and they shall bear their iniquity:

Ṣùgbọ́n nítorí pé wọn ṣe ìránṣẹ́ fún wọn níwájú àwọn ère wọn, tí wọn sì mu ilé Israẹli ṣubú sínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀, nítorí náà, Èmi tí búra nípa nína ọwọ́ sókè pé, wọn gbọdọ̀ jèrè ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn, ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.

13 And they shall not come near to me to do the office of priest to me, neither shall they come near to any of my holy things that are by the holy of holies: but they shall bear their shame, and their wickednesses which they have committed.

Wọn kò gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ ọ̀dọ̀ mi láti ṣe ìránṣẹ́ fún mi, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àlùfáà tàbí súnmọ́ nǹkan kan nínú àwọn ohun mímọ́ mi tàbí ẹbọ mi mímọ́ jùlọ; wọn gbọdọ̀ gba ìtìjú ìwà ìríra wọn.

14 And I will make them doorkeepers of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.

Síbẹ̀ èmi yóò mu wọn sí ìtọ́jú ilé Ọlọ́run àti gbogbo iṣẹ́ tí a gbọdọ̀ ṣe níbẹ̀.

15 But the priests, and Levites, the sons of Sadoc, who kept the ceremonies or my sanctuary, when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me, to minister to me: and they shall stand before me, to offer me the fat, and the blood, saith the Lord God.

“‘Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn àlùfáà, tí ó jẹ́ Lefi àti àwọn ìran Sadoku tí fi tọkàntọkàn ṣe iṣẹ́ ibi mímọ́ mi nígbà tí àwọn Israẹli ṣáko lọ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi, wọn gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ iwájú láti ṣe ìránṣẹ́ ní iwájú mi, láti rú ẹbọ ọ̀rá àti ẹ̀jẹ̀, ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.

16 They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and to keep my ceremonies.

Àwọn nìkan ni ó gbọdọ̀ wọ ibi mímọ́ mi; àwọn nìkan ní o gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ tábìlì mi láti ṣe ìránṣẹ́ ni iwájú mi, ki wọn sì ṣe iṣẹ́ ìsìn mi.

17 And when they shall enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments: neither shall any woollen come upon them, when they minister in the gates of the inner court and within.

“‘Nígbà ti wọ́n wọ àwọn ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgbàlá ti inú, wọn yóò wọ ẹ̀wù ọ̀gbọ̀, wọn kò gbọdọ̀ wọ aṣọ onírun nígbà tí wọ́n bá ń ṣiṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ ní àwọn ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgbàlá ti inú tàbí ni inú ilé Ọlọ́run.

18 They shall have linen mitres on their heads, and linen breeches on their loins, and they shall not be girded with any thing that causeth sweat.

Wọ́n yóò sì dé fìlà ọ̀gbọ̀ sí orí wọn àti ṣòkòtò ọ̀gbọ̀ sí ìdí wọn. Wọn kò sì gbọdọ̀ wọ ohunkóhun tí yóò mú wọn làágùn.

19 And when they shall go forth to the outward court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they ministered, and lay them up in the store chamber of the sanctuary, and they shall clothe themselves with other garments: and they shall not sanctify the people with their vestments.

Nígbà tí wọ́n bá lọ sì àgbàlá òde níbi tí àwọn ènìyàn wà, wọn gbọdọ̀ bọ́ ẹ̀wù tí wọ́n fi ń ṣiṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́, ki wọn sì fi wọn sílẹ̀ sí àwọn yàrá mímọ́ náà, kí wọn kí ó sì wọ ẹ̀wù mìíràn, wọn kì yóò sì fi ẹ̀wù wọn sọ àwọn ènìyàn di mímọ́.

20 Neither shall they shave their heads, nor wear long heir: but they shall only poll their heads.

“‘Wọn kò gbọdọ̀ fá irun, wọn kò sì gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ kí irun wọn gùn, ṣùgbọ́n wọn gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ kí irun orí wọn wà ní gígẹ̀.

21 And no priest shall drink wine when he is to go into the inner court.

Àlùfáà kankan kò gbọdọ̀ mu ọtí nígbà tí ó bá wọ àgbàlá tí inú.

22 Neither shall they take to wife a widow, nor one that is divorced, but they shall take virgins of the seed of the house of Israel: but they may take a widow also, that is, the widow of a priest.

Wọn ko gbọdọ̀ fẹ́ opó ni ìyàwó, wọn kò sì gbọdọ̀ kọ ìyàwó wọn sílẹ̀, wọ́n lè fẹ́ àwọn ọmọbìnrin ti kò tí i mọ ọkùnrin rí, tí ó sì jẹ́ ìran àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, tàbí kí wọn fẹ́ àwọn opó àlùfáà.

23 And they shall teach my people the difference between holy and profane, and shew them how to discern between clean and unclean.

24 And when there shall be a controversy, they shall stand in my judgments, and shall judge: they shall keep my laws, and my ordinances in all my solemnities, and sanctify my sabbaths.

“‘Nínú èyíkéyìí èdè-àìyedè, àwọn àlùfáà ní yóò dúró gẹ́gẹ́ bí onídàájọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí òfin mi. Wọ́n ní láti pa àwọn òfin àti àṣẹ mi mọ́ ní gbogbo àjọ̀dún tí a yàn, wọn sì gbọdọ̀ ya ọjọ́ ìsinmi mi ní mímọ́.

25 And they shall come near no dead person, lest they be defiled, only their father and mother, and son and daughter, and brother and sister, that hath not had another husband: for whom they may become unclean.

“‘Àlùfáà kò gbọdọ̀ sọ ara rẹ̀ di aláìmọ́ nípa sísún mọ́ òkú ènìyàn; ṣùgbọ́n ti òkú ènìyàn yẹn bá jẹ́ baba tàbí ìyá rẹ̀, àbúrò rẹ̀ ọkùnrin tàbí àbúrò rẹ̀ obìnrin ti kò i ti lọ́kọ, nígbà náà o le sọ ara rẹ̀ di aláìmọ́.

26 And after one is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him seven days.

27 And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, to the inner court, to minister unto me in the sanctuary, he shall offer for his sin, saith the Lord God.

28 And they shall have no inheritance, I am their inheritance: neither shall you give them any possession in Israel, for I am their possession.

“‘Èmi ni yóò jẹ́ ogún kan ṣoṣo tí àwọn àlùfáà yóò ní. Ẹ kì yóò fún wọn ni ìpín kankan ní Israẹli, Èmi ni yóò jẹ́ ìní wọn.

29 They shall eat the victim both for sin and for trespass: and every vowed thing in Israel shall be theirs.

30 And the firstfruits of all the firstborn, and all the libations of all things that are offered, shall be the priest’s: and you shall give the firstfruits of your meats to the priest, that he may return a blessing upon thy house.
