Ezekyèl 42
1 Epi li te mennen mwen deyò nan lakou a, nan chemen vè nò a. Li te mennen m nan chanm ki te anfas kote apa a, ak anfas konstriksyon an vè nò.
Next the man sent me out to the outer courtyard on the north side, and he brought me to rooms in front of the outer courtyard and the northern outer wall.
2 Avèk longè a, ki te san koude a, se te pòt nò a; lajè a te senkant koude.
Those rooms were one hundred cubits along their front and fifty cubits in width.
3 Anfas ven koude ki te pou lakou enteryè a, e anfas pave ki te apatyen a lakou eksteryè a, se te galri ki te koresponn ak galeri sou twa etaj yo.
Some of those rooms faced the inner courtyard and were twenty cubits away from the sanctuary. There were three levels of rooms, and the ones above looked down on the ones below and were open to them, having a walkway. Some of the rooms looked out onto the outer courtyard.
4 Devan chanm yo, se te yon machpye pa anndan de dis koude nan lajè, yon chemen de san koude nan longè, epi ouvèti pa yo te vè nò.
A passage ten cubits in width and one hundred cubits in length ran in front of the rooms. The rooms' doors were toward the north.
5 Alò, chanm anlè yo te pi piti akoz galri yo te pran plis espas sou yo ke sila nan baz ak mitan etaj nan konstriksyon yo.
But the upper halls were smaller, for the walkways took away from them more space than they did in the lowest and middle levels of the building.
6 Paske se nan twa etaj yo te ye e pa t gen pilye tankou pilye nan lakou yo. Akoz sa, chanm anlè yo te vin pi etwat ke mitan ak piba yo.
For the halls on the third story had no columns, unlike the courtyards, which did have columns. So the highest level's rooms were smaller in size compared to the rooms in the lowest and middle levels.
7 Pou miray eksteryè bò chanm yo, vè lakou deyò anfas chanm yo, longè li te senkant koude.
The outside wall ran along the rooms toward the outer courtyard, the courtyard that was in front of the rooms. That wall was fifty cubits in length.
8 Paske longè a chanm ki te nan lakou eksteryè yo te senkant koude. Epi gade byen, longè a sila anfas tanp yo te san koude.
The length of the rooms of the outer courtyard was fifty cubits, and the rooms facing the sanctuary were one hundred cubits in length.
9 Pi ba chanm sa yo, se te antre sou kote lès la, kote yon moun ka antre nan yo soti nan lakou eksteryè a.
There was an entrance to the lowest rooms from the east side, coming from the outer courtyard.
10 Nan epesè miray la sou kote lès, anfas kote apa a e anfas konstriksyon an, te gen chanm yo.
Along the wall of the outer courtyard on the eastern side of the outer courtyard, in front of the sanctuary's inner courtyard, there were also rooms
11 Chemen devan yo a te sanble ak chanm ki te sou kote nò yo. Selon longè yo, konsa lajè yo te ye e tout kote pou antre sòti yo te menm selon aranjman ak ouvèti pa yo.
with a walkway in front of them. They were as the appearance of the rooms on the northern side. They had the same length and breadth and the same exits and arrangements and doors.
12 Nan koresponn a pòt chanm ki te vè sid yo, te gen yon pòt nan tèt chemen an, chemen devan miray ki te vè lès la, kote yon moun ta antre ladan yo.
On the south side were doors into rooms that were just the same as on the north side. A passage on the inside had a door at its head, and the passage opened into the various rooms. On the east side there was a doorway into the passage at one end.
13 Konsa, li te di mwen: “Chanm nò yo ak chanm sid yo, ki anfas a kote apa a, yo se chanm sen kote prèt ki rapwoche de SENYÈ a va manje bagay ki sen pase tout lòt yo. La, yo va fè poze bagay pi sen yo, ofrann sereyal la, ofrann peche ak ofrann koupabilite a; paske kote sa a sen.
Then the man said to me, “The northern rooms and the southern rooms that are in front of the outer courtyard are holy rooms where the priests who work nearest to Yahweh may eat the most holy food. They will put the most holy things there—the food offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering—for this is a holy place.
14 Lè prèt yo antre, alò yo p ap sòti nan lakou eksteryè a lè yo kite sanktyè a san ke yo pa mete la vètman ak sila yo fè sèvis la, paske yo sen. Yo va mete lòt vètman sou yo; nan lè sa a, yo va pwoche sa ki pou pèp la.”
When the priests enter there, they must not go out of the holy place to the outer court, without laying aside the clothes in which they served, since these are holy. So they must dress in other clothes before going near the people.”
15 Alò, lè l te fin mezire kay enteryè a, li te mennen mwen deyò pa chemen pòtay ki te bay fas vè lès la e te mezire li toupatou.
The man completed measuring the inner house and then took me out to the gate that faced the east and measured all the surrounding area there.
16 Li te mezire kote lès la ak baton mezi a, senk-san baton pa mezi baton an.
He measured the east side with a measuring stick—five hundred cubits with the measuring stick.
17 Li te mezire kote nò a, senk-san baton pa mezi baton an.
He measured the north side—five hundred cubits with the measuring stick.
18 Nan sid, li te mezire senk-san baton ak mezi baton an.
He also measured the south side—five hundred cubits with the measuring stick.
19 Li te vire kote lwès e li te mezire senk-san baton ak mezi baton an.
He also turned and measured the west side—five hundred cubits with the measuring stick.
20 Li te mezire li nan kat kote yo. Li te gen yon miray ki te antoure l nèt; longè ki te senk-san ak lajè ki te senk-san an, pou te divize antre sa ki sen ak sa ki pwofàn.
He measured it on four sides. It had a wall around it that was five hundred cubits in length, and five hundred cubits in width, to separate the holy from that which is common.
