Ezekyèl 40

1 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.

In the twenty-fifth year of our captivity at the beginning of the year on the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was captured—on that same day, the hand of Yahweh was upon me and he took me there.

2 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.

In visions from God he brought me to the land of Israel. He brought me to rest on a very high mountain; to the south were what appeared to be buildings of a city.

3 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.

Then he brought me there. Behold, a man! His appearance was like the appearance of bronze. A linen cord and a measuring stick were in his hand, and he stood in the city gate.

4 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.

The man said to me, “Son of man, look with your eyes and listen with your ears, and fix your mind on all that I am revealing to you, for you were brought here so I could reveal them to you. Report everything that you will see to the house of Israel.”

5 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.

There was a wall surrounding the temple area. The length of the measuring stick in the man's hand was six long cubits. Each long cubit was a cubit and a handbreadth in length. So he measured the wall, and it was one measuring stick thick and one rod high.

6 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.

Then he went to the temple gate that faced east. He went up its steps and measured the threshold of the gate—one stick in depth.

7 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.

The guard chambers were each one stick in length and one stick in width; there were five cubits between any two of the chambers, and the threshold of the temple gate by the temple portico was one stick deep.

8 Li mezire gwo pyès chanm sa a.

He measured the portico of the gate; it was one stick in length.

9 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.

He measured the portico of the gate. It was one stick deep. The doorposts were two cubits in width. This was the portico of the gate facing the temple.

10 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.

There were three guard chambers on either side of the east gate, and each of them had the same measurement, and the walls that separated them had the same measurement.

11 Apre sa, nonm lan mezire longè koridò a anba pòtay la. Li jwenn sèz pye. Li mezire lajè koridò a, li jwenn vennde pye.

Then the man measured the width of the gateway entrance—ten cubits; and he measured the length of the gateway entrance—thirteen cubits.

12 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.

He measured the wall that was bordering the front of the chambers—one cubit high. The chambers measured six cubits on each side.

13 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.

Then he measured the gateway from the roof of one chamber to that of the next chamber—twenty-five cubits, from the entrance of the first chamber to that of the second.

14 Gwo chanm ki te nan bout koridò a te louvri sou yon lakou. Li mezire lajè chanm lan, li jwenn trannkat pye.

Then he measured the wall that went between the guard chambers—sixty cubits in length; he measured as far as the gate's portico.

15 Li mezire longè koridò a, depi miray pòtay la sou deyò rive nan bout dènye gwo chanm lan, li jwenn katrevenkat pye.

The entrance from the front of the gate to the other end of the gate's portico was fifty cubits.

16 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.

There were closed windows toward the chambers and toward their pillars within the gates all around; and likewise for the porches. The were windows all around the inside, and each jamb was decorated with palm trees.

17 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.

Then the man brought me to the outer courtyard of the temple. Behold, there were rooms, and there was pavement in the courtyard, with thirty rooms next to the pavement.

18 Gwo lakou a te pi ba pase ti lakou anndan an.

The pavement went up to the side of the gates, and its width was the same as the gates' length. This was the lower pavement.

19 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.

Then the man measured the distance from the front of the lower gate to the front of the inner gate; it was one hundred cubits on the east side, and the same on the north side.

20 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'.

Then he measured the length and width of the gate that was at the north of the outer court.

21 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.

There were three chambers on either side of that gate, and the gate and its portico measured the same as the main gate—fifty cubits in total length and twenty-five cubits in width.

22 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.

Its windows, portico, chambers, and its palm trees corresponded to the gate that faced east. Seven steps went up to it and to its portico.

23 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.

There was a gate to the inner courtyard in front of the gate facing north, just as also there was a gate to the east; the man measured from one gate to the other gate—one hundred cubits in distance.

24 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.

Next the man brought me to the gate of the southern entrance, and its walls and portico measured the same as the other outer gates.

25 Te gen fennèt nan chanm gad yo, tankou lòt yo. Koridò pasaj la te gen katrevenkat pye longè sou karannde pye lajè.

There were closed windows in the gateway and its portico just as at that gate. The south gate and its portico measured fifty cubits in length and twenty-five cubits in width.

26 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.

There were seven steps up to the gate and its portico, and there were carvings of palm trees on the walls on either side.

27 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.

There was a gate to the inner courtyard on the southern side, and the man measured from that gate to the gate of the south entrance—one hundred cubits in distance.

28 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.

Then the man brought me to the inner courtyard by way of its southern gate, which had the same measurements as the other gates.

29 -(we vèsè pwochen)

Its chambers, walls, and porticos measured the same as the other gates; there were windows all around in the portico. The inner gate and its portico measured fifty cubits in length and twenty-five cubits in width.

30 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.

There were also porticos all around the inner wall; these were twenty-five cubits in length and five cubits in width.

31 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.

This portico faced the outer courtyard with carved palm trees on its walls and eight steps going up to it.

32 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.

Then the man brought me to the inner courtyard by the eastern way and measured the gate, which had the same measurements as the other gates.

33 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.

Its chambers, walls, and portico measured the same as the other gates, and there were windows all around. The inner gate and its portico measured fifty cubits in length and twenty-five cubits in width.

34 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.

Its portico faced the outer courtyard; it had palm trees on either side of it and eight steps going up it.

35 Lèfini, nonm lan mennen m' bò pòtay nò a. Li mezire l', li jwenn li te menm fòs ak lòt pòtay yo.

Next the man brought me to the northern gate and measured it; it measured the same as the other gates.

36 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.

Its chambers, walls, and portico measured the same as the other gates, and there were windows all around. The gateway and its portico measured fifty cubits in length and twenty-five cubits in width.

37 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.

Its portico faced the outer courtyard; it had palm trees on either side of it and eight steps going up it.

38 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.

There was a room with a door by each of the inner gateways. This was where they rinsed the burnt offerings.

39 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.

There were two tables on each side of each portico, on which the burnt offering was slaughtered, and also the sin offering and the guilt offering.

40 Sou deyò pyès la tou te gen lòt tab, de chak bò pòtay Nò a.

By the wall of the courtyard, going up to the gate to the north, there were two tables. Also on the other side there were two tables at the gate's portico.

41 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.

There were four tables on either side by the gate; they slaughtered animals on the eight tables.

42 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.

There were four tables of cut stone for the burnt offerings, one and a half cubits in length, one and a half cubits in width, and one cubit tall. On them they laid the tools with which they slaughtered the burnt offerings for the sacrifices.

43 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.

Two-pronged hooks a handbreadth in length were fastened in the portico all around, and the flesh of the offerings would be put on the tables.

44 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.

On the outside of the inner gate, within the inner courtyard, were singers' chambers, one on the north side facing south, and the other on the south side facing north.

45 Nonm lan di m' konsa: -Ti chanm ki gen pòt li louvri sou sid la, se pou prèt k'ap sèvi nan tanp lan.

Then the man said to me, “This room facing south is for the priests who are on duty in the temple.

46 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.

The room facing north is for the priests on duty at the altar. These are the sons of Zadok who come near to Yahweh to serve him; they are among the sons of Levi.”

47 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.

Next he measured the courtyard—one hundred cubits in length and one hundred cubits in width in a square, with the altar in front of the house.

48 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.

Then the man brought me to the portico of the house and measured its doorposts—they were five cubits thick on either side. The entryway itself was fourteen cubits in width, and the walls on each side of it were three cubits in width.

49 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.

The length of the portico was twenty cubits, and its depth was eleven cubits. There were steps that went up to it and columns that stood on either side of it.
