< Ezekiel 42 >

1 Then he brought me forth into the outer court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the separate place, and which was over against the building toward the north.
Hili ia naʻa ne ʻomi au ki he lotoʻā kituʻa, ki hono potu fakatokelau; pea naʻa ne ʻomi au ki he potu fale ʻaia naʻe hanga mai ki he potu ʻataʻatā ʻaia foki naʻe tuʻu ki muʻa ʻi he fale ʻi hono feituʻu fakatokelau.
2 Before the length of an hundred cubits was the north door, and the breadth was fifty cubits.
Ko hono lōloa ʻi hono potu ki he matapā ki tokelau, ko e kiupite ʻe teau, pea ko hono laulahi, ko e kiupite ʻe nimangofulu.
3 Over against the twenty [cubits] which belonged to the inner court, and over against the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery against gallery in the third story.
Naʻe ngaohi ke fehāngaaki ʻae ngaahi hala ʻi he tuʻa fale ʻi he ngaahi fata ʻe tolu, ʻo feangai atu mo e kiupite ʻe uofulu naʻe tuku ko e lotoʻā ki loto, pea feʻunga mai mo e potu naʻe faliki ke lotoʻā ʻaki, kituʻa.
4 And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors were toward the north.
Pea ʻi he mata fale naʻe ʻi ai ʻae hala, ko e kiupite ʻe hongofulu hono laulahi ki loto, mo e hala ʻoe kiupite ʻe taha; pea naʻe hanga hono ngaahi matapā ki he tokelau.
5 Now the upper chambers were shorter: for the galleries took away from these, more than from the lower and the middlemost, in the building.
Ka ko eni naʻe fakanounou ʻae ngaahi potu fale ki ʻolunga, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻatā ange ʻa hono hala kituʻa ʻi ʻolunga, ʻi he hala ʻoe fata ki lalo, mo ia naʻe hoko ai.
6 For they were in three stories, and they had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore [the uppermost] was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground.
He naʻe fata tolu foki, ka naʻe ʻikai hano ngaahi pou, ʻo hangē ko e fakapou ʻoe ngaahi lotoʻā: ko ia naʻe ʻapiʻapi ai ʻae fale ʻolunga, ʻi hono potu ko ia naʻe ʻi lalo, mo ia naʻe hoko hake ai.
7 And the wall that was without by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court before the chambers, the length thereof was fifty cubits.
Pea naʻe ʻi tuaʻā hono ʻā, ʻo hangatonu ia ki he ngaahi potu fale naʻe tuʻu ki he lotoʻā kituʻa, ʻi hono potu ki ʻao ʻoe ngaahi fale, pea ko hono lōloa ko e kiupite ʻe nimangofulu.
8 For the length of the chambers that were in the outer court was fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple were an hundred cubits.
He ko e lōloa ʻoe ngaahi potu fale ʻaia naʻe ʻi he lotoʻā kituʻa ko e kiupite ʻe nimangofulu: pea, vakai, ko hono lōloa ki hono potu ki ʻao ʻoe fale tapu ko e kiupite ʻe teau.
9 And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the outer court.
Pea naʻe ai ʻae hūʻanga ʻi he potu ʻoe ngaahi potu fale ni, ki hono potu fakahahake ʻi he ʻaluʻanga ʻo ha taha ʻoku hū ki ai, mei he lotoʻā kituʻa.
10 In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, before the separate place, and before the building, there were chambers.
Naʻe ngaohi ʻae ngaahi potu fale ʻi he matolu ʻoe ʻā ʻoe lotoʻā, ki hono potu ki hahake, ʻo hangatonu mai ki he potu naʻe ʻataʻatā, pea mo e fale lahi.
11 And the way before them was like the appearance of [the way of] the chambers which were toward the north; according to their length so was their breadth: and all their goings out were both according to their fashions, and according to their doors.
Pea ko e hala ki muʻa ʻi ai naʻe mata tatau ia mo e ngaahi potu fale ki he potu tokelau, naʻe tatau hono lōloa mo ia, pea tatau mo hono laulahi: pea ko hono ngaahi kātupa naʻe tatau pe hono anga mo ia, pea tatau mo hono ngaahi matapā.
12 And according to the doors of the chambers that were toward the south was a door in the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall toward the east, as one entereth into them.
Pea hangē ko e ngaahi matapā ʻoe ngaahi potu fale ʻaia naʻe hanga ki he feituʻu tonga, naʻe ai ʻae matapā ʻi he tefito hala, ʻio, ʻae hala naʻe hangatonu atu ki he ʻā, ki he potu hahake, ʻoka hū atu ha taha ki ai.
13 Then said he unto me, The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, they be the holy chambers, where the priests that are near unto the LORD shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meal offering, and the sin offering, and the guilt offering; for the place is holy.
Hili ia naʻa ne pehē mai kiate au, “Ko e ngaahi potu fale ki he tokelau mo e ngaahi potu fale ki he feituʻu tonga, ʻaia ʻoku hangatonu mai ki he potu ʻataʻatā, ko e ngaahi potu fale tapu ia, ʻaia ʻe kai ai ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ʻoku ʻunuʻunu mai kia Sihova, ʻae ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni ʻaupito: te nau hilifaki ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni ʻaupito, mo e feilaulau ʻoe meʻakai, mo e feilaulau ki he angahala, mo e feilaulau ki he fai hala; he ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ʻae potu.
14 When the priests enter in, then shall they not go out of the holy place into the outer court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they are holy: and they shall put on other garments, and shall approach to that which pertaineth to the people.
‌ʻOka hū atu ki ai ʻae kau taulaʻeiki, ʻe ʻikai te nau toe ʻalu atu mei he potu māʻoniʻoni ki he lotoʻā kituʻa, ka ko e potu pe ko ia naʻa nau ngāue ai, ʻe tuku ʻi ʻai ʻa honau ngaahi kofu; he ʻoku nau māʻoniʻoni; pea te nau ʻai ʻae ngaahi kofu kehe, ʻoka nau ka ʻalu ʻo kau ʻi ha ngaahi meʻa ʻae kakai.”
15 Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it round about.
Pea hili ʻae fakaʻosi ʻe ia hono fuofua ʻoe fale ki loto, naʻa ne ʻomi au ki he matapā ʻaia ʻoku hanga atu ki he potu hahake, pea naʻa ne fua takatakai ia.
16 He measured on the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.
Naʻe fua ʻa hono potu fakahahake ʻaki ʻae kaho naʻe fuofua ʻaki, ko e kaho ʻe nimangeau, ʻa hono fua takatakai ʻo ʻosi.
17 He measured on the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.
Naʻa ne fua ʻae potu ki he tokelau ko e kaho ʻe nimangeau ʻi hono fua takatakai ʻaki ʻae kaho.
18 He measured on the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed.
Naʻa ne fua ʻae potu ki he feituʻu tonga ʻaki ʻae kaho, ko e kaho ʻe nimangeau.
19 He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
Naʻa ne foki atu ki he potu ki lulunga pea ne fua ʻaki ia ʻae kaho ko e kaho ʻe nimangeau.
20 He measured it on the four sides: it had a wall round about, the length five hundred, and the breadth five hundred, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.
Naʻa ne fua ia ʻi hono potu ʻe fā: naʻe takatakai ʻaki ia ʻae ʻā, ko e kaho ʻe nimangeau hono lōloa, mo e nimangeau ʻa hono laulahi koeʻuhi ke fevahaʻanaki ai ʻae potu tapu mo e potu ngofua.
