< Ezekiel 43 >

1 Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east:
Emesịa, ọ kpọbatakwara m nʼọnụ ụzọ mbata nke chere ihu nʼọwụwa anyanwụ.
2 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.
Ma lee, ahụrụ m ebube Chineke nke Izrel ka o si nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ na-apụta. Olu ya dị ka mbigbọ nke ebili mmiri, ebube ya nwukwara nʼala ahụ niile.
3 And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face.
Ọ dịkwa ka ọhụ mbụ m hụrụ, nke m buru ụzọ hụ nʼakụkụ ọnụ mmiri Keba, ya na nke m hụrụ na Jerusalem mgbe ọ bịara ibibi obodo ahụ. Adara m nʼala kpugide ihu m nʼaja.
4 And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.
Ebube Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼọnụ ụzọ chere ihu nʼọwụwa anyanwụ bata nʼime ụlọnsọ ahụ.
5 So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.
Mgbe ahụ, Mmụọ nke Chineke buliri m bubata m nʼime ogige nke ime, ma ebube nke Onyenwe anyị jupụtara nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.
6 And I heard him speaking to me out of the house; and the man stood by me.
Mgbe ahụ, anụrụ m olu ka o si nʼụlọnsọ ahụ na-agwa m okwu, dịka nwoke ahụ na-eguzokwa nʼakụkụ m.
7 And he said to me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their harlotry, nor by the dead bodies of their kings in their high places.
Ọ sịrị m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, ebe a bụ ebe nke ocheeze, na ebe nke ọbụ ụkwụ m abụọ ga-anọgide, ebe a ka m ga-ebi nʼetiti ụmụ Izrel ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Ụlọ Izrel agaghị emerụkwa aha nsọ m ọzọ, ha onwe ha maọbụ ndị eze ha, site nʼikpere arụsị niile ha na ibubata onyinye olili ozu ndị eze ha, mgbe ha nwụrụ anwụ.
8 In their setting of their threshold by my thresholds, and their post by my posts, and the wall between me and them, they have even defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed: therefore I have consumed them in my anger.
Mgbe ha wuru mbata ọnụ ụzọ ha nʼakụkụ mbata ọnụ ụzọ m, tinye ọnụ ụzọ ha nʼakụkụ ọnụ ụzọ m, ọ bụkwa naanị mgbidi bụ ihe dị nʼetiti mụ na ha. Ha merụrụ aha nsọ m site nʼihe arụ niile ha mere. Ya mere m ji bibie ha nʼiwe m.
9 Now let them put away their harlotry, and the dead bodies of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.
Ugbu a, ka ha wezuga adịghị ọcha na ife chi ndị ọzọ ha nʼihu m, bupụkwa onyinye olili ozu ndị eze ha nʼebe m nọ, mgbe ahụ, aga m ebi nʼetiti ha ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
10 Thou son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern.
“Nwa nke mmadụ, kọwaara ụmụ Izrel ụlọnsọ ahụ m ziri gị. Gwa ha ụdịdị ya, na ịpụ iche ya, ka ihere mee ha nʼihi mmehie ha.
11 And if they will be ashamed of all that they have done, show them the form of the house, and the fashion of it, and its exits, and its entrances, and all its forms, and all its ordinances, and all its forms, and all its laws: and write it in their sight, that they may keep its whole form, and all its ordinances, and do them.
Ọ bụrụ nʼezie na ihere emee ha nʼihi ihe ha mere, mgbe ahụ, kọwaara ha ihe niile metụtara otu a ga-esi wuo ụlọnsọ a, na ihe gbasara nkwado ya, na ihe gbasara ọnụ ụzọ ọpụpụ na mbata ya niile, ihe metụtara ebumnobi nke owuwu ya niile na usoro na iwu niile banyere ya. Depụta ihe ndị a nʼihu ha, nye ha ka ha lezie anya mezuo ihe niile metụtara usoro a ga-agbaso wuo ya.
12 This is the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain its whole limit all around shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.
“Nke a bụ iwu ụlọ banyere nsọ ukwu ahụ. Ebe niile gbara elu ugwu a gburugburu ga-abụ ebe dịkarịsịrị nsọ! Nke a bụ iwu ụlọnsọ ahụ.
13 And these are the measures of the altar after the cubits: The cubit is a cubit and an hand breadth; even the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border of it by its edge on every side shall be a span: and this shall be the higher place of the altar.
“Nke a bụ ọtụtụ niile gbasara ebe ịchụ aja ya: Ịdị elu nke ala ya bụ iri sentimita ise na atọ; ịgba gburugburu nke ọnụ ya bụ iri sentimita abụọ na atọ; obosara ya dị iri sentimita ise na atọ. Otu a ka ebe ịchụ aja ahụ ga-aha nʼogologo.
14 And from the bottom upon the ground even to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the smaller ledge even to the greater ledge shall be four cubits, and the breadth one cubit.
Site nʼụkwụ ya nke dị nʼala ruo nʼokere ya nke etiti, ọ ga-adị otu mita nʼogologo nakwa nʼuhie; site nʼokere nke nta ruo na nke ukwu ga-adị mita abụọ nʼogologo na ọkara nʼuhie.
15 So the altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar and upward shall be four horns.
Ebe nsure ọkụ nke ebe ịchụ aja ahụ ga-adị mita abụọ, mpi anọ sikwa nʼakụkụ ya gbagoo elu, nke ọbụla nʼime ha ga-adị ọkara mita nʼogologo.
16 And the altar shall be twelve cubits long, twelve broad, square in its four sides.
Ebe nsure ọkụ nke ebe ịchụ aja ahụ ga-adị mita isii nʼogologo na mita isii nʼuhie, nwee akụkụ anọ nke ha nʼotu.
17 And the ledge shall be fourteen cubits long and fourteen broad in its four sides; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and the bottom of it shall be a cubit about; and its stairs shall look toward the east.
Nke dị nʼokpuru ga-adị mita asatọ nʼakụkụ ọbụla; a ga-arụlite ọnụ ọnụ ya gburugburu, ka ịdị elu nke ọnụ ọnụ ya bụrụ iri sentimita abụọ na asaa. Akụkụ ya niile gbasapụrụ site nʼelu ya ruo nʼala. Ọtụtụ mgbasapụ a dị iri sentimita ise na atọ. Nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ ka ihe e ji arịgo ya dị.”
18 And he said to me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt offerings on it, and to sprinkle blood on it.
Mgbe ahụ, ọ gwara m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Ndị a bụ usoro metụtara iwu ịchụ aja nke aja nsure ọkụ, na ifesa ọbara nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja mgbe e wusiri ya.
19 And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that are of the seed of Zadok, who approach to me, to minister to me, saith the Lord GOD, a young bull for a sin offering.
Ị ga-enye ndị nchụaja bụ ndị Livayị si nʼezinaụlọ Zadọk, bụ ndị na-abịa m nso ife ofufe nʼihu m, otu oke ehi maka aja mmehie, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
20 And thou shalt take of his blood, and put it on its four horns, and on the four corners of the ledge, and upon the border on every side: thus shalt thou cleanse and purge it.
Unu ga-ewere ụfọdụ nʼọbara ya tee na mpi anọ nke ebe ịchụ aja, na nʼakụkụ anọ nke ebe ịchụ aja, na nʼakụkụ anọ nke mbadamba nkume dị nʼelu, na gburugburu ọnụ ọnụ ya, si otu a sachaa ebe ịchụ aja ahụ, kpuchikwaara ya mmehie.
21 Thou shalt take the bull also of the sin offering, and he shall burn it in the appointed place of the house, outside of the sanctuary.
Mgbe ahụ, a ga-ewere nwa oke ehi e ji chụọ aja mmehie ahụ, kpọọ ya ọkụ nʼebe a kwadoro nʼezi ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.
22 And on the second day thou shalt offer a kid of the goats without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bull.
“Nʼụbọchị nke abụọ, ị ga-eji nwa mkpi na-enweghị ntụpọ chụọ aja mmehie. A ga-eme ka ebe ịchụ aja dị ọcha, dịka e ji oke ehi ahụ mee ka ọ dị ọcha.
23 When thou hast finished cleansing it, thou shalt offer a young bull without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.
Mgbe i mechara mmemme nsacha ndị a, werekwa nwa oke ehi ọzọ nke na-enweghị ntụpọ, na nwa ebule site nʼigwe anụ nke na-enweghị ntụpọ chụọ aja.
24 And thou shalt offer them before the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them for a burnt offering to the LORD.
Were ha jee chee nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, ka ndị nchụaja were nnu fesa ha dịka aja nsure ọkụ a chụrụ nye Onyenwe anyị.
25 Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat for a sin offering: they shall also prepare a young bull, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish.
“Ụbọchị asaa, kwa ụbọchị ka ị ga-ewepụta otu mkpi, na nwa oke ehi, na nwa ebule site nʼigwe anụ ndị ahụ, chụọ aja mmehie. Ha niile ga-abụ ụmụ anụmanụ ndị na-enweghị ntụpọ.
26 Seven days shall they purge the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate themselves.
Ụbọchị asaa ka ha ga na-achụ aja ikpuchi mmehie nʼihi ebe ịchụ aja, mee ka ọ dị ọcha, site otu a doo ya nsọ.
27 And when these days are fulfilled, it shall be, that upon the eighth day, and so onward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings upon the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord GOD.
Ụbọchị nke asatọ, na nʼụbọchị ọbụla so ya, ndị nchụaja ga-achụ aja nsure ọkụ nʼebe ịchụ aja, chụọkwa aja udo. Mgbe ahụ, aga m anabatakwa unu. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.”
