Ehekiera 40

1 I te rua tekau ma rima o nga tau o to matou whakaraunga, i te timatanga o te tau, i te tekau o nga ra o te marama, i te tekau ma wha o nga tau o te horonga o te pa, i taua tino ra ka pa te ringa o Ihowa ki ahau, a kawea ana ahau e ia ki reira.

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 Kawea ana ahau e ia, he whakakitenga na te Atua, ki te whenua o Iharaira, whakanohoia ana ahau e ia ki tetahi maunga tiketike rawa, i reira tetahi mea, he rite tona hanga ki to te pa i te tonga.

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 A kawea ana ahau e ia ki reira; na ko tetahi tangata, ko tona ahua, ano he parahi ki te titiro atu, he aho muka i tona ringa, he kakaho ano hei whanganga; i te kuwaha ia e tu ana.

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 Na ka mea taua tangata ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, titiro mai ou kanohi, whakarongo ou taringa, tahuri mai ano tou ngakau ki nga mea katoa e whakakitea e ahau ki a koe; i kawea mai hoki koe ki konei kia whakakitea ai enei mea ki a koe: whaka aturia ki te whare o Iharaira nga mea katoa e kite ai koe.

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 Na, he taiepa kei waho o te whare a taka noa, i te ringa hoki o taua tangata he kakaho hei whanganga, e ono whatianga te roa; kotahi whatianga me te whanui ringa o tetahi, o tetahi. Na kei te whanganga ia i te whanui o taua mea i hanga ra, kotahi te kakaho; ko te tiketike hoki kotahi te kakaho.

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 Katahi ia ka tae ki te kuwaha e anga ana ki te rawhiti, kei te piki i ona kaupae; kei te whanganga i te paepae o te kuwaha, ko te whanui, kotahi kakaho; i tetahi atu paepae ano, kotahi kakaho te whanui.

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 Na, ko te roa o te ruma kotahi, kotahi kakaho; ko te whanui, kotahi kakaho; i te takiwa o nga ruma, e rima whatianga; na, ko te paepae o te kuwaha i te whakamahau o te kuwaha i te taha ki roto, kotahi kakaho.

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 Katahi ia ka whanganga ano i te whakamahau o te kuwaha, te taha ki te whare, kotahi kakaho.

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

9 Katahi ia ka whanganga i te whakamahau o te kuwaha, e waru whatianga; me ona pou, e rua whatianga; na ko te whakamahau o te kuwaha e anga ana ki te whare.

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 Na, ko nga ruma o te kuwaha whaka te rawhiti, e toru i tenei taha, e toru i tera taha; ko nga mea e toru, kotahi tonu te nui: kotahi tonu ano te nui o nga pou i tenei taha, i tera taha.

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 I whanganga ano ia i te whanui o te tapokoranga i te kuwaha, kotahi tekau whatianga; ko te roa o te kuwaha kotahi, tekau ma toru whatianga.

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

12 Na, ko te taha ki mua i nga ruma, kotahi te whatianga; ko tetahi atu taha hoki kotahi te whatianga; na, ko nga ruma, e ono whatianga o tenei taha, e ono whatianga o tera taha.

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

13 I whanganga ano ia i te kuwaha i te tuanui o tetahi ruma, tae noa ki te tuanui o tetahi, e rua tekau ma rima whatianga te whanui; ko tetahi tatau anga tonu mai ki tetahi tatau.

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 A i hanga e ia etahi pou, e ono tekau whatianga; a ko te marae i tae atu ki te pou, ko te kuwaha i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha.

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 Na, ko te takiwa i te aronga o te kuwaha e tapoko ai, tae noa ki te aronga o te whakamahau o to roto kuwaha, e rima tekau whatianga.

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

16 Na he matapihi kuiti o nga ruma, o nga pou ano i roto i te kuwaha a taka noa, o nga haurangi ano; he matapihi ano o nga taha ki roto a taka noa; he nikau ano kei tenei pou, kei tenei pou.

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 Katahi ahau ka kawea e ia ki to waho marae, na, he ruma i reira, he papa kohatu hoki, he mea i hanga mo te marae a taka noa: e toru tekau nga ruma i runga i te papa kohatu.

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 Na, ko te papa kohatu i te taha o nga kuwaha i te ritenga atu o te taha roa o nga kuwaha, ko to raro papa tera.

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 Katahi ia ka whanganga i te whanui i te aronga o to raro kuwaha tae noa ki te aronga o to roto marae, ki te taha ki waho, kotahi rau whatianga, ki te rawhiti, ki te raki.

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 Na, ko te kuwaha o to waho marae e anga ana ki te raki, i whanganga ano e ia te roa, te whanui.

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

21 Na, ko ona ruma, e toru i tenei taha, e toru i tera taha, ko ona pou, ko ona haurangi rite tonu te nui ki to te kuwaha tuatahi; e rima tekau whatianga te roa, e rua tekau ma rima whatianga te whanui.

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 Na, ko nga matapihi, ko nga haurangi, ko nga nikau, he mea whakarite ki te nui o te kuwaha e anga ana ki te rawhiti, e whitu ano nga kaupae i pikitia ai a reira; i mua hoki i aua ruma nga haurangi.

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 Na he kuwaha ano kei to roto marae e anga ana ki tera kuwaha ki te raki, ki te rawhiti hoki; i whanganga ano ia i te takiwa o tetahi kuwaha, o ano ia i te takiwa o tetahi kuwaha, o tetahi kuwaha, kotahi rau whatianga.

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 Na ka arahina ahau e ia ki te tonga, na, ko tetahi kuwaha ki te tonga. Na ka whanganga ia ki ona pou me ona haurangi, rite tonu ki enei kua oti nei te whanganga.

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 He matapihi ano o reira, i ona haurangi ano hoki a taka noa, he pera me era matapihi; e rima tekau nga whatianga te roa, e rua tekau ma rima whatianga te whanui.

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 E whitu nga kaupae i pikitia ai; i mua ko nga haurangi; he nikau ano ona, ko tetahi i tetahi taha, ko tetahi i tetahi taha i runga i ona pou.

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 Na he kuwaha ano kei to roto marae i te taha ki te tonga; i whanganga ano ia i te takiwa o tetahi kuwaha, o tetahi kuwaha ki te tonga, kotahi rau whatianga.

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 Katahi ka kawea ahau e ia na te kuwaha ki te tonga ki to roto marae, a whanganga ana ia i te kuwaha ki te tonga, rite tonu ki enei kua oti nei te whanganga.

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 Me nga ruma ano o reira, me nga pou, me ona haurangi, rite tonu ki enei kua oti nei te whanganga; he matapihi ano o reira, o ona haurangi ano a taka noa: e rima tekau whatianga te roa, e rua tekau ma rima whatianga te whanui.

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 Na, ko nga haurangi a taka noa, e rua tekau ma rima whatianga te roa, e rima whatianga te whanui.

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

31 A i anga ona haurangi ki to waho marae; he nikau ano o ona pou: e waru ano nga kaupae o te pikitanga ki reira.

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

32 I kawea ano ahau e ia ki to roto marae whaka te rawhiti, a whanganga ana ia i te kuwaha: rite tonu ki enei kua oti nei te whanganga.

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 Na, ko nga ruma o reira, ko ona pou, ko ona haurangi, rite tonu ki enei kua oti nei te whanganga: he matapihi ano o reira, o nga haurangi ano a taka noa; e rima tekau whatianga te roa, e rua tekau ma rima whatianga te whanui.

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 I anga ano ona haurangi ki to waho marae, he nikau ano kei ona pou i tenei taha, i tera taha; e waru nga kaupae o te pikitanga ki reira.

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

35 I kawea ano ahau e ia ki te kuwaha ki te raki, a whanganga ana ia; rite tonu ki enei kua oti nei te whanganga;

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

36 Ko ona ruma, ko ona pou, ko ona haurangi, me ona matapihi ano a taka noa: e rima tekau whatianga te roa, e rua tekau marima whatianga te whanui.

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 A ko ona pou kei te taha ki to waho marae; he nikau ano kei ona pou i tenei taha, i tera taha: e waru nga kaupae o te pikitanga ki reira.

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

38 Na tera tetahi ruma, he tapokoranga ano ki reira, i nga pou o nga kuwaha; ko te wahi tera i horoia ai te tahunga tinana.

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

39 Na i te whakamahau o te kuwaha e rua nga tepu i tenei taha, e rua nga tepu i tera taha, hei patunga ki runga mo te tahunga tinana, mo te whakahere hara, mo te whakahere mo te he.

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 I te taha ano ki waho e rua nga tepu i te wahi e piki ai ki te tapokoranga o te kuwaha ki te raki; e rua nga tepu i tera taha, i te whakamahau o te kuwaha.

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 E wha nga tepu i tenei taha, e wha ano nga tepu i tera taha, i te taha o te kuwaha; e waru nga tepu i patua ai nga patunga tapu.

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

42 Na he kohatu tarai nga tepu e wha mo te tahunga tinana, kotahi whatianga me te hawhe te roa, kotahi whatianga me te hawhe te whanui, kotahi whatianga te tiketike; ko te takotoranga ena o nga patu mo te tahunga tinana, mo te patunga tapu.

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 Kua oti ano etahi matau te whakanoho ki te taha ki roto a taka noa, kotahi ringa te whanui: a i runga i nga tepu ko te kikokiko o te whakahere.

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 Na i waho o to roto kuwaha ko nga ruma o nga kaiwaiata i to roto marae, ara i tera ki te taha o te kuwaha o te raki. I anga aua ruma ki te tonga: i anga ano ki te raki tetahi i te taha o te kuwaha ki te rawhiti.

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 Na ka mea ia ki ahau, Ko tenei ruma e anga nei ki te tonga, mo nga tohunga, mo nga kaitiaki o nga mea o te whare.

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

46 Na, ko te ruma e anga nei ki te raki, mo nga tohunga, mo nga kaitiaki o nga mea o te aata: ko nga tama enei a Haroko i roto i nga tama a Riwai, e whakatata ana ki a Ihowa ki te minita ki a ia.

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 Na ka whanganga ia i te marae, kotahi rau whatianga te roa, kotahi rau whatianga te whanui, he tapawha; a ko te aata hoki i mua i te whare.

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 Katahi ahau ka kawea e ia ki te whakamahau o te whare: kei te whanganga ia i tenei pou, i tenei pou o te whakamahau, e rima whatianga i tenei taha, e rima whatianga i tera taha: na, ko te whanui o te kuwaha, e toru whatianga i tenei taha, e toru whatianga i tera taha.

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 Ko te roa o te whakamahau e rua tekau whatianga; ko te whanui kotahi tekau ma tahi whatianga; ara ma nga kaupae i pikitia atu ai a reira: a he pou ano era i te taha o nga pou, ko tetahi i tenei taha, ko tetahi i tera taha.

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.
