Ezekiel 44
1 Kalpasanna, insublinak ti lalaki iti akinruar a ruangan ti santuario a nakasango iti daya; nairut ti pannakaiserrana daytoy.
Then he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looks toward the east; and it was shut.
2 Kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Naserraan daytoy a ruangan; pulos a saanto a malukatan daytoy. Awanto ti siasinoman a tao ti makauneg iti daytoy gapu ta immuneg ditoy ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel, isu a nairut ti pannakaiserrana daytoy.
The LORD said to me, “This gate shall be shut. It shall not be opened, no man shall enter in by it; for the LORD, the God of Israel, has entered in by it. Therefore it shall be shut.
3 Agtugawto ditoy ti mangiturturay iti Israel tapno mangan iti sangoanan ni Yahweh. Umunegto isuna a babaen iti portiko ti ruangan, ket isunto met laeng ti pagruaranna.”
As for the prince, he shall sit in it as prince to eat bread before the LORD. He shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go out the same way.”
4 Kalpasanna, inturongnak ket nagnakami iti akin-amianan a ruangan ti balay. Isu a kimmitaak, ket nakitak a napno ti balay ni Yahweh iti dayagna, ket nagpaklebak!
Then he brought me by the way of the north gate before the house; and I looked, and behold, the LORD’s glory filled the LORD’s house; so I fell on my face.
5 Ket kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Anak ti tao, isaganam ta pusom ken ikitam ti matam ket denggem dagiti amin nga ibagbagak kenka, dagiti amin nga alagaden iti balay ni Yahweh ken dagiti amin a pagannurotanna. Tandaanam ti maipapan kadagiti pagserkan ken pagruaran iti balay.
The LORD said to me, “Son of man, mark well, and see with your eyes, and hear with your ears all that I tell you concerning all the ordinances of the LORD’s house and all its laws; and mark well the entrance of the house, with every exit of the sanctuary.
6 Ket ibagam kadagiti managsukir, ti balay ti Israel, 'Kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh: Isardengyo koman dagiti makarimon nga aramidyo, balay ti Israel—
You shall tell the rebellious, even the house of Israel, ‘The Lord GOD says: “You house of Israel, let that be enough of all your abominations,
7 ti panangiyegyo ken panangpastrekyo iti santuariok kadagiti ganggannaet a saan a mamati kaniak ken saan a nakugit a nangrugit iti daytoy—bayat iti panangiyegyo iti tinapayko, taba ken dara—linabsingyo ti tulagko gapu kadagiti makarimon nga aramidyo.
in that you have brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to profane it, even my house, when you offer my bread, the fat and the blood; and they have broken my covenant, to add to all your abominations.
8 Saanyo nga inaramid a sipupudno dagiti pagrebbeganyo kaniak; ngem ketdi, intedyo iti sabali ti pagrebbenganyo a mangbantay iti nasantoan a lugarko.
You have not performed the duty of my holy things; but you have set performers of my duty in my sanctuary for yourselves.”
9 Kastoy ti kuna ni Apo a Yahweh: Awan ti ganggannaet manipud iti siasinoman nga adda iti nagtetengngaan dagiti tattao ti Israel a saan a mamati dagiti pusoda kaniak ken saan a nakugit, ti makastrek iti santuariok.
The Lord GOD says, “No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any foreigners who are among the children of Israel.
10 Ngem dagiti Levita nga immadayo kaniak idi naiyaw-awan dagiti Israelita, dagiti naiyaw-awan nga immadayo kaniak ken simmurot kadagiti didiosenda—ita, agbayadda kadagiti nagbasolanda.
“‘“But the Levites who went far from me when Israel went astray, who went astray from me after their idols, they will bear their iniquity.
11 Isuda dagiti agserbi ti santuariok, agbanbantayda kadagiti ruangan ti balay ken agserserbida iti uneg ti balayko. Isuda dagiti mangpapatay kadagiti daton a mapuoran ken kadagiti daton dagiti tattao; agtakderda iti sangoananda tapno agserbi kadakuada.
Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having oversight at the gates of the house, and ministering in the house. They shall kill the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister to them.
12 Ngem gapu ta indatonda dagiti datunda iti sangoanan dagiti didiosenda, nagbalinda a pakaitibkolan a nagbasolan ti balay ti Israel. Ingatok ngarud ti imak nga agsapata iti kari a maibusor kadakuada—daytoy ti pakaammo ni Apo a Yahweh—a bayadanda dagiti nagbasolanda!
Because they ministered to them before their idols, and became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I have lifted up my hand against them,” says the Lord GOD, “and they will bear their iniquity.
13 Saandanto nga umasideg kaniak nga agbalin a kas papadik, wenno umasideg kadagiti nasantoan a banbanag a kukuak, kadagiti kasasantoan a banbanag! Ngem ketdi, lak-amendanto ti pannakakibabain ken dagiti supapak dagiti makarimon a banbanag nga inaramidda.
They shall not come near to me, to execute the office of priest to me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, to the things that are most holy; but they will bear their shame and their abominations which they have committed.
14 Ngem isaadkonto ida a mangaywan kadagiti trabaho iti balayko, kadagiti amin a pagrebbengan ken maar-aramid iti daytoy.
Yet I will make them performers of the duty of the house, for all its service and for all that will be done therein.
15 Ket dagiti padi a Levita, dagiti putot ni Zadok a nangaramid kadagiti trabaho iti santuariok idi immadayo dagiti Israelita iti panangsursurotda kaniak—umasidegdanto nga agdayaw kaniak ken agtakderdanto iti sangoanak a mangiyeg iti taba ken dara— daytoy ti pakaammo ni Apo a Yahweh.
“‘“But the Levitical priests, the sons of Zadok, who performed the duty of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, shall come near to me to minister to me. They shall stand before me to offer to me the fat and the blood,” says the Lord GOD.
16 Umaydanto iti santuariok; umasidegda iti lamisaanko tapno agrukbabda kaniak ken tungpalenda dagiti pagrebbenganda kaniak.
“They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister to me, and they shall keep my instruction.
17 Isu nga inton umayda iti ruangan ti akin-uneg a paraangan ti templo, masapul a nakakawesda iti lino, ta saan a mabalin a nakakawesda iti de lana nga umuneg iti akin-uneg a paraangan ti templo ken iti balay.
“‘“It will be that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments. No wool shall come on them while they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.
18 Masapul a nakasuotda iti turban a lino kadagiti uloda ken akin-uneg a pagan-anay a lino kadagiti patongda. Masapul a saanda a rumbeng nga agisuot kadagiti kawes a pakaigapuan ti panagling-etda.
They shall have linen turbans on their heads, and shall have linen trousers on their waists. They shall not clothe themselves with anything that makes them sweat.
19 Inton rummuarda a mapan iti akinruar a paraangan tapno mapanda kadagiti tattao, masapul nga ikkatenda dagiti kawes nga us-usarenda no kasta nga agserbida; masapul nga ikkatenda dagitoy ken idulinda iti maysa a nasantoan a siled, tapno saanda mapagbalin a nasantoan dagiti dadduma a tattao gapu iti pannakasagidda kadagiti naisangsangayan a kawesda.
When they go out into the outer court, even into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments in which they minister and lay them in the holy rooms. They shall put on other garments, that they not sanctify the people with their garments.
20 Kasta met, saanda a rumbeng a kuskosan dagiti uloda wenno baybay-an nga umatiddog dagiti buokda, ngem masapul a pukisanda dagiti buokda.
“‘“They shall not shave their heads, or allow their locks to grow long. They shall only cut off the hair of their heads.
21 Awan ti uray maysa a padi nga uminom iti arak no kasta nga umay isuna iti akin-uneg a paraangan ti templo,
None of the priests shall drink wine when they enter into the inner court.
22 wenno awan ti mangasawa iti balo wenno babai nga insina ti asawana, ngem maysa a birhen laeng a naggapu iti linia ti balay ti Israel, wenno balo a sigud nga asawa ti maysa a padi.
They shall not take for their wives a widow, or her who is put away; but they shall take virgins of the offspring of the house of Israel, or a widow who is the widow of a priest.
23 Ta isurodanto kadagiti tattaok ti nagdumaan ti nasantoan ken narugit; ipakaammodanto kadakuada ti saan a nadalus manipud iti nadalus.
They shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the common, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
24 Iti panagsusuppiatan, tumakderdanto a mangukom babaen kadagiti lintegko; masapul a nalintegda. Ket masapul a tungpalenda dagiti linteg ken alagadek iti tunggal padaya; rambakandanto dagiti nasantoan nga Aldaw a Panaginana.
“‘“In a controversy they shall stand to judge. They shall judge it according to my ordinances. They shall keep my laws and my statutes in all my appointed feasts. They shall make my Sabbaths holy.
25 Masapul a saanda a mapan iti ayan dagiti tao a natay tapno saanda nga agbalin a narugit, malaksid no daytoy ket amada wenno inada, anakda a lalaki wenno babai, kabsatda a lalaki wenno babai a saanpay a nakikaidda iti maysa a lalaki, ta no aramidendadayta, agbalinda a narugit.
“‘“They shall go in to no dead person to defile themselves; but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister who has had no husband, they may defile themselves.
26 Kalpasan a nagbalin a narugit ti maysa a padi, masapul nga agbilangto dagiti tattao iti pito nga aldaw nga agpaay kenkuana.
After he is cleansed, they shall reckon to him seven days.
27 Sakbay nga umay isuna iti nasantoan a lugar, iti akin-uneg a paraangan ti templo tapno agserbi iti nasantoan a lugar, masapul a mangiyeg isuna iti daton a para iti bagina— daytoy ti pakaammo ti Apo a ni Yahweh.
In the day that he goes into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering,” says the Lord GOD.
28 Ket daytoy ti tawidda: Siakto ti tawidda! Isu a rumbeng a saanyo ida nga ikkan iti sanikua idiay Israel; Siak ti sanikuada!
“‘They shall have an inheritance: I am their inheritance; and you shall give them no possession in Israel. I am their possession.
29 Kanendanto dagiti naidaton a taraon, dagiti naidaton para iti basol, dagiti daton dagiti nakabasol; dagiti amin a banbanag a naited iti Dios idiay Israel ket kukuadanto.
They shall eat the meal offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; and every devoted thing in Israel shall be theirs.
30 Dagiti kasasayaatan kadagiti amin nga immuna a bunga ken dagiti amin nga intedda a tulong, amin a banag manipud iti intulongda ket kukuanto dagiti papadi, ket masapul nga itedyo kadagiti papadi dagiti kasasayaatan a daton a makan tapno sumangbay ti bindesion iti balayyo.
The first of all the first fruits of every thing, and every offering of everything, of all your offerings, shall be for the priest. You shall also give to the priests the first of your dough, to cause a blessing to rest on your house.
31 Saanto a mangan dagiti padi iti natay nga ayup wenno rinangrangkay ti sabali nga ayup, billit man wenno narungsot nga ayup.
The priests shall not eat of anything that dies of itself or is torn, whether it is bird or animal.
