Ezekiel 44

1 Then he brought me towarde the gate of the outwarde Sanctuarie, which turneth towarde the East, and it was shut.

Nonm lan mennen m' bò pòtay ki bay sou bò solèy leve a. Pòtay la te fèmen.

2 Then saide the Lord vnto me, This gate shalbe shut, and shall not bee opened, and no man shall enter by it, because the Lord God of Israel hath entred by it, and it shalbe shut.

Seyè a di m' konsa: -Pòtay sa a fèt pou toujou ret fèmen. Piga yo janm louvri l'. Pa janm kite pesonn pase la. Paske se la mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, mwen te pase. Se pou l' toujou ret fèmen.

3 It appertaineth to the Prince: the Prince himselfe shall sit in it to eate bread before the Lord: he shall enter by the way of the porche of that gate, and shall go out by the way of the same.

Tansèlman, wa a gen dwa vin chita la pou li manje pòsyon pa l' nan manje ofrann lan devan m'. L'a pase nan pòt ki nan gwo pyès nan bout koridò a pou l' antre. Se la l'a soti tou.

4 Then brought he mee toward the North gate before the House: and when I looked, beholde, the glorie of the Lord filled the house of the Lord, and I fell vpon my face.

Apre sa, nonm lan fè m' soti nan pòtay nò a. Rive devan Tanp lan, mwen leve je m' gade, mwen wè Tanp Seyè a te klere nèt ak gwo limyè prezans Seyè a. Mwen lage kò m' atè sou fas.

5 And the Lord sayd vnto me, Sonne of man, marke well, and behold with thine eyes, and heare with thine eares, all that I say vnto thee, concerning al the ordinances of the house of the Lord, and al the lawes thereof, and marke well the entring in of the house with euery going forth of the Sanctuarie,

Epi Seyè a di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Pran tèt ou! Louvri je ou gade byen. Louvri zòrèy ou tande. Mwen pral ba ou lòd ak regleman pou Tanp mwen an. Gade byen ki moun ki gen dwa antre soti nan Tanp lan, ki moun ki pa gen dwa mete pye yo nan Tanp lan.

6 And thou shalt say to the rebellious, euen to ye house of Israel, Thus saith ye Lord God, O house of Israel, ye haue ynough of al your abominations,

Pale ak bann moun tèt di pèp Izrayèl yo. Di yo, men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba yo. Mwen p'ap tolere ankò tout vye bagay derespektan yo t'ap plede fè yo.

7 Seeing that yee haue brought into my Sanctuarie strangers, vncircumcised in heart, and vncircumcised in flesh, to bee in my Sanctuarie, to pollute mine house, when yee offer my bread, euen fat, and blood: and they haue broken my couenant, because of all your abominations.

Yo derespekte Tanp mwen an, yo kite moun lòt nasyon ki pa pote mak kontra mwen an nan kò yo, ni ki pa soti pou fè volonte m', antre nan Tanp lan lè y'ap ofri grès ak san bèt yo touye pou mwen yo. Se konsa yo kase kontra mwen te pase ak yo a. Yo fè yon bann vye bagay derespektan ki pa fè m' plezi.

8 For yee haue not kept the ordinances of mine holy things: but you your selues haue set other to take the charge of my Sanctuarie.

Yo derefize pran reskonsablite fè sèvis pou mwen nan Tanp lan. Yo mete moun lòt nasyon pou fè sèvis pou yo nan Tanp lan.

9 Thus saieth the Lord God, No stranger vncircumcised in heart, nor vncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my Sanctuarie, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel,

Men sa mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, mwen di: Ankenn moun lòt nasyon ki pa pote mak kontra a nan kò yo, ni ki pa soti pou fè volonte m', pa gen dwa mete pye yo nan Tanp lan, pa menm lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan pèp Izrayèl la.

10 Neither yet ye Leuites that are gone backe from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray from thee after their idoles, but they shall beare their iniquitie.

Seyè a di m' ankò: Lè moun pèp Izrayèl yo te vire do ban mwen pou y' al sèvi zidòl yo, moun Levi yo te mete tèt yo ansanm ak pèp la. Se poutèt sa mwen pral pini yo pou sa yo fè a.

11 And they shall serue in my Sanctuarie, and keepe the gates of the House, and minister in the House: they shall slay the burnt offring and the sacrifice for the people: and they shall stand before them to serue them.

Y'ap toujou sèvi m' nan Tanp lan. Se yo menm ki pral reskonsab veye pòtay Tanp lan, se yo ki pral fè tout kalite ti travay ki pou fèt nan Tanp lan. Se yo ki pral touye bèt pèp la va vin ofri pou boule nèt nan dife ak pou lòt kalite ofrann. Se yo ki pral la pou sèvi pèp la.

12 Because they serued before their idoles, and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquitie, therfore haue I lift vp mine had against the, saith the Lord God, and they shall beare their iniquity,

Tansèlman, paske yo te asepte fè sèvis pou pèp la devan zidòl yo, paske, lè yo fè sa, yo pòte pèp la tonbe pi rèd nan fè peche, mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, mwen fè sèman, m'ap pini yo pou sa yo fè a.

13 And they shall not come neere vnto me to do ye office of ye Priest vnto me, neyther shall they come neere vnto any of mine holy things in the most holy place, but they shall beare their shame and their abominations, which they haue comitted.

Yo pa gen dwa pwoche kote m' pou sèvi m' prèt ankò, ni yo pa gen dwa pwoche bò nenpòt bagay yo mete apa pou mwen, ni antre nan kote yo mete apa nèt pou mwen an. Men pinisyon m'ap ba yo pou tout vye bagay derespektan yo te fè a.

14 And I will make them keepers of ye watch of the House, for all the seruice thereof, and for all that shalbe done therein.

M'ap ba yo lòt travay pou yo fè nan tanp lan. M'ap mete yo reskonsab tout kalite travay k'ap fèt nan Tanp lan.

15 But the Priests of the Leuites, the sonnes of Zadok, that kept the charge of my Sanctuarie, when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come neere to me to serue me, and they shall stande before me to offer me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord God.

Seyè sèl Mèt la di m' ankò: -Prèt ki fè pati branch fanmi Levi a men ki soti nan fanmi Zadòk la te toujou fè travay yo byen san melanj nan Tanp lan, lè tout rès pèp Izrayèl la menm te vire do ban mwen. Se poutèt sa, se yo menm ase ki ka pwoche vin fè sèvis pou mwen. Se yo menm ki gen dwa kanpe devan m' pou ofri m' grès ak san bèt yo touye pou mwen yo.

16 They shall enter into my Sanctuarie, and shall come neere to my table, to serue me, and they shall keepe my charge.

Se yo menm ase ki pou antre nan Tanp mwen an, ki pou sèvi devan lotèl mwen an, ki pou fè sèvis pou mwen nan Tanp lan.

17 And whe they shall enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments, and no wool shall come vpon the while they serue in ye gates of the inner court, and within.

Lè y'a antre nan pòtay ti lakou anndan Tanp lan, y'a mete rad fèt ak twal fin blan. Lè y'ap sèvi nan ti lakou anndan an osinon nan Tanp lan, yo pa fèt pou yo gen anyen fèt ak lenn sou yo.

18 They shall haue linnen bonets vpon their heades, and shall haue linnen breeches vpon their loynes: they shall not girde them selues in the sweating places.

Konsa, yo p'ap janm swe. Y'ap mare tèt yo ak gwo mouchwa fèt ak twal fin blan. Y'ap mete pantalon fèt ak twal fin blan san sentiwon.

19 But when they goe foorth into the vtter court, euen to the vtter court to the people, they shall put off their garments, wherein they ministred, and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on other garments: for they shall not sanctifie the people with their garments.

Anvan yo soti nan gwo lakou a, kote pèp la ye a, se pou yo wete rad ki te sou yo lè yo te desèvis nan tanp lan. Y'a kite yo nan pyès yo mete apa pou sa a. Y'a mete lòt rad òdinè sou yo pou rad seremoni yo pa fè malè tonbe sou pèp la.

20 They shall not also shaue their heades, nor suffer their lockes to growe long, but rounde their heades.

Prèt yo pa gen dwa kale tèt yo, ni se pa pou yo kite cheve yo vin twò long. Se pou yo toujou taye cheve yo.

21 Neither shall any Priest drinke wine when they enter into the inner court.

Prèt yo pa gen dwa bwè diven jou pou yo antre nan ti lakou anndan an.

22 Neither shall they take for their wiues a widowe, or her that is diuorced: but they shall take maidens of the seede of the house of Israel, or a widow that hath bene the widow of a Priest.

Prèt yo pa gen dwa marye ak yon vèv osinon yon madanm divòse. Se pou yo marye ak yon jenn fi nan ras moun Izrayèl yo. Tansèlman, y'a gen dwa marye ak vèv yon prèt parèy yo.

23 And they shall teach my people the difference betweene the holy and prophane, and cause them to discerne betweene the vncleane and the cleane.

Prèt yo va moutre pèp mwen an diferans ki genyen ant sa yo mete apa pou sèvis mwen ak sa yo pa mete apa pou sèvis mwen, ant sa ki nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou mwen ak sa ki pa nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou mwen.

24 And in controuersie they shall stande to iudge, and they shall iudge it according to my iudgements: and they shall keepe my lawes and my statutes in all mine assemblies, and they shall sanctifie my Sabbaths.

Lè yon moun gen kont ak yon lòt, se prèt yo ki va jije yo dapre sa ki nan lalwa mwen an. Se yo ki pou òganize tout fèt mwen yo dapre lòd ak regleman mwen bay. Jou repo m' yo, yo pa gen dwa fè ankenn travay.

25 And they shall come at no dead person to defile theselues, except at their father, or mother, or sone, or daughter, brother or sister, that hath had yet none husband: in these may they be defiled.

Prèt yo pa fèt pou pwoche bò kadav moun mouri pou sa pa mete yo nan kondisyon yo pa ka fè sèvis pou mwen. Tansèlman, yo gen dwa pwoche bò kadav papa yo, manman yo, pitit fi yo, pitit gason yo, frè yo osinon yon sè yo depi sè a pa marye.

26 And when he is clensed, they shall reckon vnto him seuen dayes.

Apre l'a fin fè sèvis pou mete l' nan kondisyon ankò pou sèvi m', se pou l' tann sèt jou.

27 And when he goeth into ye Sanctuarie vnto the inner court to minister in the Sanctuarie, he shall offer his sinne offring, saith ye Lord God.

Apre sa, jou l'a gen pou l' pran sèvis nan Tanp lan, l'a antre nan ti lakou anndan an, l'a fè ofrann pou mande Bondye padon pou peche l' yo. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.

28 And the Priesthood shall bee their inheritance, yea, I am their inheritance: therefore shall ye giue them no possessio in Israel, for I am their possession.

Prèt yo pa gen ankenn pòsyon tè ki rele yo pa yo. Se mwen menm ki tout yo. Yo p'ap gen anyen nan peyi mwen bay pèp Izrayèl la k'ap rele yo pa yo. Se sèvis y'ap fè pou mwen an ki tout yo.

29 They shall eate the meat offring, and the sinne offring, and the trespas offring, and euery dedicate thing in Israel shall be theirs.

Se yo ki va manje ofrann grenn jaden yo ak vyann bèt yo touye pou mande Bondye padon, ak vyann bèt yo touye pou repare sa pèp la fè ki mal. Tou sa y'a mete apa pou mwen, se pou yo la ye.

30 And all the first of all the first borne, and euery oblation, euen all of euery sort of your oblations shall be the Priestes. Ye shall also giue vnto the Priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest in thine house.

Tou sa ki pi bon nan premye rekòt nou yo, tou sa n'a pran angajman pou ofri ban mwen, ak tout lòt ofrann n'a fè, se pou prèt yo y'a ye. Chak fwa n'ap kwit pen, se pou nou bay prèt yo premye pen an tankou ofrann, konsa benediksyon mwen va chita lakay nou.

31 The Priests shall not eate of any thing, that is dead, or torne, whether it be foule or beast.

Prèt yo pa gen dwa manje ankenn bèt, kit se zwezo, kit se lòt bèt, ki mouri mò natirèl osinon bèt nan bwa devore.
