Ezekiel 40
1 Almost 25 years after we had been [to Babylonia], on the tenth day of the first month of that year, almost 14years after Jerusalem had been destroyed, in a vision [I felt] the power [MTY] of Yahweh on me, and he took me to Israel.
Nan dizyèm jou premye mwa vennsenkyèm lanne depi yo te depòte nou an, ki vle di katòzan, jou pou jou, depi yo te fin kraze lavil Jerizalèm lan, mwen santi pouvwa Seyè a sou mwen. Li pran m', li mennen m' ale.
2 He set me on a very high mountain. On the south side of that mountain there were some buildings that appeared to be [part of] a city.
Nan yon vizyon, mwen wè li mennen m' nan peyi Izrayèl la. Li mete m' kanpe sou yon mòn byen wo. Mwen wè devan m' sou bò sid la yon bann kay bati ou ta di yon lavil.
3 When he took there, I saw a man whose face was like [SIM] bronze. He was standing in the entrance [of a building]. He had a linen cord and a measuring stick in his hand.
Li fè m' pwoche. Lè sa a, mwen wè yon nonm ki te klere tankou kwiv. Li te kenbe nan men l' yon kòdon tou blan ak yon règ pou mezire. Li te kanpe bò yon pòtay.
4 He said to me, “You human, look carefully at everything that I am going to show you, and pay attention to everything that I say and everything that I will show you, because that is why you have been brought here. [And then later] you must tell the Israeli people everything that you have seen [here].”
Nonm lan di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Klere je ou gade. Louvri zòrèy ou gran pou ou koute. Mete tèt ou anplas pou ou wè tou sa mwen pral moutre ou la a. Se pou sa menm yo mennen ou isit la. Paske, ou gen pou ou fè moun pèp Izrayèl yo konnen tou sa ou pral wè.
5 [In the vision I saw that] there was a wall that completely surrounded the temple area. The measuring stick in the man’s hand was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) long. He measured the wall: It was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) thick and (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) high.
Sa m' te wè a se te tanp lan. Te gen yon gwo miray ki te fè wonn li nèt. Nonm lan te gen nan men l' yon règ pou mezire ki te gen dis pye longè. Li mezire miray la. Miray la te gen dis pye wotè, dis pye lajè.
6 Then he went to the entryway on the east [side of the temple]. He climbed the steps and measured the outer threshold/opening for the entryway: It was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) deep.
Apre sa, li ale nan pòtay ki bay sou solèy leve a. Li moute mach eskalye yo. Lè li rive anwo, li mezire papòt pòtay la. Li jwenn dis pye fondè.
7 Next, there was an entry hallway with [three] (alcoves/very small rooms) along each side [where the guards stood]. Each of the alcoves was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) on each side. There was a dividing wall between each alcove that was (8-3/4 feet/2.7 meters) wide. At the end of the entry hallway was the inner threshold/opening for the entryway, (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) deep. It led to the entry room [to the inner courtyard] and faced the temple.
Apre pòtay la, te gen yon gwo koridò avèk sis chanm pou gad yo, twa chak bò. Chak chanm yo te kare kare, dis pye lajè, dis pye longè. Miray ki te separe chanm yo te gen wit pye lajè. Apre chanm yo, koridò a lonje sou dis pye ankò, li te mennen nan yon gwo pyès ki te bay sou Tanp lan.
8 Then he measured the entry room at the end of the entry hallway.
Li mezire gwo pyès chanm sa a.
9 It was about (14 feet/4.2 meters) long, and its supporting columns were (3-1/2 feet/1.1 meters) thick. The entry room of the entryway was at the end of the entry hallway that faced the temple [and extended into the courtyard].
Li jwenn li te gen katòz pye longè. Chanm sa a te nan bout koridò a ki te pi pre Tanp lan. Miray la te gen kat pye lajè nan bout sa a.
10 Inside the east entryway there were three alcoves on each side of the entry hallway. They each had the same length and width. And the measurements of the walls that divided the alcoves were all identical.
Te gen twa chanm gad chak bò koridò ki bay sou solèy leve a. Tout chanm yo te menm fòs. Miray ki te separe pyès yo yo yonn ak lòt te gen menm lajè.
11 Then he measured the threshold/opening for the entryway: It was (17-1/2 feet/5.3 meters) wide, and the entry hallway [between the alcoves] was (22-3/4 feet/6.9 meters) wide.
Apre sa, nonm lan mezire longè koridò a anba pòtay la. Li jwenn sèz pye. Li mezire lajè koridò a, li jwenn vennde pye.
12 In front of each alcove was a low wall about (21 inches/53 cm.) high, and the alcoves were (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) on each side.
Devan chak chanm gad yo, te gen yon ti mi tou ba ki te gen vin pous wotè, vin pous lajè. Chanm yo menm te kare kare anndan, dis pye longè, dis pye lajè.
13 Then he measured the width of the roof of the entrance hallway, the distance between the rear wall of one alcove to the rear wall of the opposite alcove, [including the supporting walls along each side]. It was (43-3/4 feet/13.3 meters).
Lèfini, li mezire distans ant miray dèyè yon chanm ale nan miray dèyè chanm ki anfas li lòt bò koridò a, li jwenn karannde pye. Pòt chanm yo te bay fas pou fas.
14 Then he measured all along the dividing walls between the alcoves all along the inside of the entry hallway: It was (105 feet/31.8 meters). He measured as far as the entry room of the entryway.
Gwo chanm ki te nan bout koridò a te louvri sou yon lakou. Li mezire lajè chanm lan, li jwenn trannkat pye.
15 The length from [outer] opening of the entryway to the far end of the entry room was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters).
Li mezire longè koridò a, depi miray pòtay la sou deyò rive nan bout dènye gwo chanm lan, li jwenn katrevenkat pye.
16 There were [small] windows in the outside walls of all the alcoves, and also in the inner dividing walls between the alcoves. There were also small windows in the entry room. The dividing walls were decorated with [carvings of] palm trees.
Te gen fennèt ak griyaj nan mi ki bay sou deyò chak chanm yo, ak nan mi ki separe chanm yo. Yo te fè pòtre pye palmis sou fasad miray separasyon yo ki bay sou koridò a.
17 Then [in the vision] he brought me to the outer courtyard. There I saw some rooms, and a stone path/pavement along the walls around the courtyard. There were thirty rooms along the path.
Nonm lan fè m' pase nan gwo lakou deyò a. Te gen trant chanm yo te bati fè wonn lakou a. Do chanm yo te kole ak gwo miray ki te fèmen lakou a. Tout lakou a te pave nèt depi devan pòt chanm yo.
18 The stone path was all around the courtyard, and it extended out from the walls into the courtyard for the same distance as the entry room [of the entryway]. That was the lower path.
Gwo lakou a te pi ba pase ti lakou anndan an.
19 Then the man measured the distance [across the outer courtyard of the temple], between the inner [entrance of] the entryway and [the wall surrounding the] inner courtyard: It was (175 feet/53 meters) [on the east side and on the north side of the courtyard].
Te gen yon pòtay yon ti jan pi wo ki bay sou lakou anndan an. Nonm lan mezire depi sou pòtay deyò a rive nan pòtay anndan an. Li jwenn sanswasantwit pye.
20 Then he measured how long and how wide was the entryway that was on the north side, the entrance into the outer courtyard [of the temple].
Lèfini, nonm lan al mezire pòtay kote ou pase antre nan gwo lakou a lè ou soti sou bò nò. Li pran longè l' ak lajè l'.
21 There were three alcoves on each side of the entryway hall. The measurements of the alcoves, the dividing walls between the alcoves, and the entry room were the same as as those in the first entryway. The length from [outer] opening of the entryway to the far end of the entry room was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters). The entryway was (43-3/4 feet/13.3 meters) wide.
Twa chanm gad yo ki sou chak bò koridò a, miray ki separe yo a, ak dènye gwo chanm ki bay sou anndan an, yo tout te gen menm mezi ak sa li te jwenn pou pòtay ki bay sou solèy leve a. Koridò mitan an te gen katrevenkat pye longè sou karannde pye lajè.
22 Its windows and the entry room and the palm tree [decorations all] measured the same as the ones on the east [side]. There were seven steps up to the outer threshold/opening for the entryway, and an entry room was at the other end of the entryway.
Dènye gwo chanm lan, fennèt yo, ak pòtre pye palmis te tankou sa li jwenn pou pòtay bò solèy leve a. Te gen sèt macheskalye ki moute devan pòtay nò a. Gwo chanm lan te nan bout koridò a ki bay sou gwo lakou a.
23 There was an entryway to the inner courtyard that faces the north entryway, like there was on the east [side]. The man measured [the distance] from [the north] entryway to the entryway [on the other side]; it was (175 feet/53 meters).
Lòt bò gwo lakou a, devan koridò nò a, te gen yon lòt pòtay ki bay sou ti lakou anndan an, menm jan ak sou bò solèy leve a. Nonm lan mezire distans ant de pòtay yo, li jwenn sanswasantwit pye tou.
24 Then he brought me through the south entryway [into the outer courtyard], and he measured it. It measured the same as the other entryways. Its alcoves, its dividing walls between the alcoves, and its entry room measured the same as the ones on the other sides.
Apre sa, nonm lan mennen m' sou bò sid la. La tou, mwen wè yon lòt pòtay pou antre nan gwo lakou a. Li mezire l', li te tankou lòt pòtay yo.
25 The alcoves and the entry room had [narrow] windows along the walls, like on the other [sides]. The length [of the outer opening of the] entryway [to the far end of the entry room was] was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) and the entryway was (43-3/4 feet/13.3 meters) wide.
Te gen fennèt nan chanm gad yo, tankou lòt yo. Koridò pasaj la te gen katrevenkat pye longè sou karannde pye lajè.
26 There were seven steps up to the outer threshold/opening for the entryway, and an entry room was (opposite it/at the end of the entryway facing the courtyard). It [also] had [carvings of] palm trees on the dividing walls that were between the alcoves.
Te gen sèt macheskalye ki moute devan pòtay la sou deyò. Dènye gwo chanm lan te nan bout koridò a ki bay sou gwo lakou a. Te gen pòtre pye palmis sou fasad miray ki bay sou koridò a.
27 The inner courtyard also had an entryway on the south [side]. He measured from that entryway to the entrance on the south [side of the outer courtyard; it was also] (175 feet/53 meters).
Sou bò sid la tou, te gen yon lòt pòtay ki mennen nan ti lakou anndan an. Nonm lan mezire distans ant de pòtay yo, li jwenn sanswasantwit pye tou.
28 Then [in the vision] he brought me through the south entryway into the inner courtyard, and he measured the south entryway. It measured the same as the other [entryways].
Nonm lan fè m' pase nan pòtay sid la pou m' antre nan ti lakou anndan an. Li mezire koridò a, li te menm fòs ak koridò gwo miray deyò yo.
29 Its alcoves [along the entry hallway], its dividing walls [between the alcoves], and its entry room measured the same as [the ones on] the other [sides]. The alcoves and the entry room had windows. The length [of the outer opening of the] entryway [to the far end of the entry room was] was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) and the entryway was (43-3/4 feet/13.3 meters) wide.

30 The entry rooms around [the inner courtyard] were (43-3/4 feet/13.3 meters) wide and (8.7 feet/2.6 meters) long.
Chanm gad yo, gwo chanm lan, ak miray li yo te tankou pou lòt koridò yo. Te gen fennèt nan chanm ki bay sou koridò yo tou. Longè koridò a te katrevenkat pye, lajè l' te karannde pye.
31 The entry room faced the outer courtyard. There were [carvings of] palm trees that decorated the columns, and there were eight steps [up] to the entryway.
Men, gwo chanm lan te nan bout ki bay sou gwo lakou a. Pòtre pye palmis yo te sou tout fasad miray la sou anndan koridò a. Te gen wit macheskalye ki moute devan pòtay la.
32 Then he led me to the east side of the inner courtyard, and he measured the entrance. It had the same measurements as the other [entrances]
Apre sa, nonm lan fè m' pase nan pòtay bò solèy leve a pou antre nan ti lakou anndan an. Li mezire pòtay la, li jwenn li te menm fòs ak lòt pòtay yo.
33 Its alcoves and dividing walls and entry room measured the same as the others.
Chanm gad yo, gwo chanm lan, miray anndan li yo, yo tout te tankou pou lòt pòtay yo. Te gen fennèt toutotou koridò a ak nan gwo chanm lan tou. Li te gen katrevenkat pye longè sou karannde pye lajè.
34 Its entry room faced the outer courtyard. It also had carvings of palm trees that decorated the walls, and it had eight steps up to it.
Gwo chanm lan te bay sou gwo lakou deyò a. Pòtre pye palmis te sou tout miray la anndan koridò a. Te gen wit macheskalye ki moute devan pòtay la.
35 Then he led me to the entrance on the north side and measured it. It measured the same as the other entrances.
Lèfini, nonm lan mennen m' bò pòtay nò a. Li mezire l', li jwenn li te menm fòs ak lòt pòtay yo.
36 And its alcoves and walls between them and the entry room all had [small] windows in the walls. It was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) long and (43.7 feet/13.3 meters) wide.
Tankou tout lòt yo, li te gen chanm pou gad yo, miray ak pòtre, yon gwo chanm ak fennèt toupatou. Li te gen katrevenkat pye longè sou karannde pye lajè.
37 Its entry room faced the outer courtyard. There were [carvings of] palm trees that decorated its walls, and there were eight steps [up] to the entryway.
Gwo chanm lan te bay sou gwo lakou deyò a. Pòtre pye palmis te sou tout miray anndan koridò a. Te gen wit macheskalye ki moute devan pòtay la.
38 [In the vision, I saw that] in the inner entry room of the north entryway there was a door to a side room. That side room was where the [carcasses of the] animals that would be burned completely [on the altar] were washed.
Nan gwo lakou deyò a te gen yon chanm bò pòtay nò ki mennen nan ti lakou anndan an. Chanm sa a te louvri sou gwo chanm lan ki bay sou gwo lakou a. Se la yo te lave vyann bèt yo te fin touye anvan y' al boule yo nèt sou lotèl la.
39 In the entry room, there were two tables on each side [of the room]. On those tables would be slaughtered the animals that would be completely burned, and the animals for offerings for sins that people had committed, and offerings to cause people to longer be guilty for having sinned.
Nan gwo chanm sa a, te gen kat tab, de sou chak bò pyès la. Se sou tab sa yo yo te touye bèt yo te ofri pou touye pou Bondye, kit pou yo boule l' nèt, kit pou wete peche yon moun fè, kit pou peye pou sa yon moun fè ki mal.
40 Along the outside wall of the entry room, on each side of the steps at the opening to the entryway on the north side, were two tables.
Sou deyò pyès la tou te gen lòt tab, de chak bò pòtay Nò a.
41 [So] there were four tables outside the entrance and four tables inside the entry room, on which the [animals to be] sacrificed were slaughtered.
Antou sa te fè wit tab kote pou yo touye bèt yo ofri bay Bondye, kat anndan gwo chanm lan, kat nan gwo lakou deyò a.
42 There were also four tables of cut stone for the offerings to be completely burned, (31-1/2 in./80 cm.) on each side and (21 in./53 cm.) high. On those stone tables would be placed the tools for slaughtering all the animals for the sacrifices.
Kat tab ki nan chanm sou kote pòtay la, kote yo pare bèt yo ofri pou boule nèt yo, te fèt an gwo moso wòch taye. Yo te gen vin pous wotè. Anwo tab yo te kare kare, trant pous chak bò. Tout zouti ki sèvi pou touye bèt yo ofri bay Bondye kit pou boule nèt, kit pou lòt sèvis, se sou tab sa yo yo te mete yo.
43 The meat for the offerings would be placed on [stone] tables. There were hooks [on which the meat was hung], each with two prongs, each (3 in./8 cm.) long, fastened to the walls [of the entry room].
Yo fouye yon ti kannal twa pous lajè kouri sou rebò anwo tab yo. Se anwo tab sa yo yo mete vyann pou yo ofri nan sèvis yo.
44 Outside the inner entryway, inside the inner courtyard, were two rooms, one on the north side and one on the south side.
Apre sa, li mennen m' antre nan ti lakou anndan an. Te gen de lòt chanm ki bay sou ti lakou anndan an, yonn bò pòtay nò a ak pòt li louvri sou sid, lòt la bò pòtay sid la ak pòt li louvri sou nò.
45 The man said to me, “The room whose door faces south is for the priests who are in charge of the work in the temple.
Nonm lan di m' konsa: -Ti chanm ki gen pòt li louvri sou sid la, se pou prèt k'ap sèvi nan tanp lan.
46 The room whose door faces north is for the priests who are in charge of [the work at] the altar. They are the descendants of Zadok; they are the only descendants of Levi who are permitted to approach Yahweh while they work for him.”
Lòt chanm ki gen pòt li louvri sou nò a, se pou prèt k'ap sèvi sou lotèl la. Tout prèt yo se moun menm fanmi Zadòk la. Nan tout branch fanmi Levi a, se yo menm ase ki te gen dwa antre devan Seyè a pou sèvi l' nan Tanp lan.
47 Then he measured the courtyard: It was square, (175 feet/53 meters) long and (175 feet/53 meters) wide. The altar was in front of the temple.
Nonm lan mezire ti lakou anndan an. Li te kare kare. Chak bò te mezire sanswasantwit (168) pye. Kay la menm te moute sou bò solèy kouche a ak lotèl la devan li.
48 Then [in the vision] he brought me to the entry room of the temple, and measured the walls on each side of the entrance: They were (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) thick. The entrance was (24-1/2 feet/7.4 meters) wide, and the walls on each side of the entrance were (5-1/4 feet/1.6 meters) long.
Li fè m' antre nan premye pyès Tanp lan. Li mezire papòt chanm devan an, li jwenn li te gen nèf pye pwofondè ak vennkat pye lajè. Miray bò pòtay la te gen senk pye epesè.
49 The entry room was (35 feet/10.6 meters) wide on each side. There were ten steps up to it, and there were pillars on each side of the entrance.
Te gen dis macheskalye pou moute devan pòt premye pyès Tanp lan. Pyès la te mezire vin pye lajè ak trannkat pye fondè. Te gen de gwo poto won, yonn chak bò pòt la.
