Hisqiʼeel 40
1 Waggaa digdamii shanaffaa boojiʼamuu keenyaa keessa, waggaa jalqabaatti, jiʼa kurnaffaatti, erga magaalattiin diigamtee booddee waggaa kudha afuraffaatti, guyyuma sana harki Waaqayyoo narra ture; innis achi na geesse.
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 Mulʼata Waaqaatiinis gara biyya Israaʼel na geessee tulluu baayʼee ol dheeraa irra na dhaabe; karaa kibba isaatiinis waan ijaarsa magaalaa fakkaatanitu ture.
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 Inni achi na geesse; anis nama bifti isaa naasii fakkaatu tokko nan arge; innis harka isaatti funyoo foʼaa quncee talbaatii fi ulee safaraa qabatee balbala dura ijaajjaa ture.
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 Namichi sunis akkana naan jedhe; “Yaa ilma namaa, ati sababii kanaaf waan as fidamteef, ija keetiin ilaali; gurra keetiinis dhagaʼiitii waan ani sitti argisiisu hunda hubadhu. Mana Israaʼelittis waan argite hunda himi.”
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 Anis dallaa guutumaan guutuutti lafa mana qulqullummaa marsee jiru tokko nan arge. Dheerinni ulee ittiin safaran kan harka namicha sanaa keessa ture dhundhuma jaʼaa dha; tokkoon tokkoon dhundhuma sanaa dhundhuma tokkoo fi balʼina barruu harkaa tokko ture. Innis dallaa sana safare; dallaan sunis ulee safartuu tokko yabbatee ulee safartuu tokko ol dheerata ture.
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 Ergasii inni gara balbala gara baʼaa ilaaluutti dhufe. Gulantaawwanitti ol baʼee waltajjii balbalaa safare; innis ulee safartuu tokko gad fagaata ture.
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 Sireewwan eegumsaa ol dheerinni isaanii ulee tokko, balʼinni isaanii immoo ulee tokko ture; keenyan manneen gidduu turanis dhundhuma shan yabbatu ture. Dooyaan karraa kan gardaafootti aanee gara mana qulqullummaatti garagalu sunis ulee safartuu tokko gad fagaata ture.
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 Sana booddee inni gardaafoo balbalaa safare;
He measured the portico of the gate; it was one stick in length.
9 balballi sunis dhundhuma saddeet gad fagaatee tuggeewwan isaas dhundhuma lama furdatu turan. Gardaafoon balbala sanaa gara mana qulqullummaatti garagala ture.
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 Karra gara baʼa biiftuu jiru keessa bitaa fi mirgaan manneen waardiyyootaa sadii sadiitu ture; sadan isaanii iyyuu wal qixxee turan. Tuggeewwan gama lamaan jiranis waluma qixxee turan.
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 Ergasii inni balʼina balbala ittiin ol seenanii safare; innis dhundhuma kudhan ture; dheerinni isaa immoo dhundhuma kudha sadii ture.
Then the man measured the width of the gateway entrance—ten cubits; and he measured the length of the gateway entrance—thirteen cubits.
12 Tokkoo tokkoo mana waardiyyaa dura keenyan dhundhuma tokko ol dheeratutu ture; manneen kunneenis gama lamaaniin dhundhuma jaʼa jaʼa turan.
He measured the wall that was bordering the front of the chambers—one cubit high. The chambers measured six cubits on each side.
13 Ergasiis inni bantii keenyan manichaa kan boroo irraa jalqabee hamma bantii kaaniitti balbala sana safare; wal irraa fageenyi isaas balbala tokko irraa hamma balbala kaaniitti dhundhuma digdamii shan ture.
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 Akkasumas balbala ittiin ol seenan safare; innis dhundhuma jaatama taʼe; safarri sunis hamma utubaa gara oobdii ilaalu sanaatti taasifame.
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 Fageenyi balbala ol seensisuu jalqabee hamma dhuma gardaafootti jirus dhundhuma shantama taʼe.
The entrance from the front of the gate to the other end of the gate's portico was fifty cubits.
16 Kutaawwan manichaatii fi keenyan isaa karaa ittiin ol seenaniin foddaa gama lachuutiin dhiphachaa deemu qabu ture; gardaafoon sunis akkasuma naannaʼee gara keessaatiin foddaa qaba ture; utubaawwan sun immoo muka meexxiitiin faayeffamanii turan.
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 Ergasii inni gara oobdii alaatti na fide. Achittis dareewwanii fi karaa dhagaadhaan tolfame tokko naannoo oobdiitti nan arge; qarqara karaa sanaas daree soddomatu ture.
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 Karaan sunis balbala sana bira ture; balʼinni isaas hamma ol dheerina balbalawwanii ture; karaan kunis karaa isa gad aanuu dha.
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 Sana booddee balbala gad aanu keessaa jalqabee hamma oobdii isa keessaa kan gara alaatti fageenya isaa safare; innis karaa baʼaatii fi karaa kaabaatiin dhundhuma dhibba tokko ture.
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 Ergasii inni lafa irra dheerinaa fi balʼina karra gara kaabaa ilaalu kan gara oobdii alaatti baasuu safare.
Then he measured the length and width of the gate that was at the north of the outer court.
21 Safarri utubaawwanii fi gardaafoo manneen waardiyyaa kanneen bitaa mirgaan dareewwan sadii sadii qaban sanaas kan karra jalqabaa wajjin wal qixxee ture. Innis dheerina dhundhuma shantamaatii fi balʼina dhundhuma digdamii shanii qaba ture.
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 Foddaawwan isaanii, gardaafoowwan isaaniitii fi faaya isaanii kan muka meexxii irraa hojjetame safarri isaanii safara karra gara baʼaa ilaalu wajjin wal qixxee ture. Gulantaawwan gara karra sanaatti geessan torbatu ture; fuullee isaanii immoo gardaafoo isaatu ture.
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 Akkuma karra karaa baʼaatiin ture sanaa karra gara kaabaa ilaalu kan gara oobdii keessaatti geessu tokkotu ture. Innis karra tokko irraa jalqabee hamma karra fuullee isaa jiruutti safare; innis dhundhuma dhibba tokko ture.
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 Innis gara kibbaatti na geesse; anis karra gara kibbaa ilaalu nan arge. Innis utubaawwanii fi gardaafoowwan isaa safare; safarri isaaniis safara warra kaanii wajjin wal qixxee ture.
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 Karri sunii fi gardaafoon isaa foddaawwan akkuma foddaawwan kaanii dhidhiphatan naannoo isaaniitii qabu ture. Innis dheerina dhundhuma shantamaatii fi balʼina dhundhuma digdamii shanii qaba ture.
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 Gulantaawwan gara karra sanaatti geessan torbatu ture; fuullee isaanii immoo gardaafoo isaatu ture; balballi sunis fuula utubaawwan sanaa irraa bitaa mirgaan faaya muka meexxiitiin hojjetame qaba ture.
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 Oobdiin gara keessaas karra gara kibbaa ilaalu qaba ture; innis karra kana irraa kaasee hamma karra karaa kibbaa kan gara alaatiin jiruutti safare; safarri isaas dhundhuma dhibba tokko ture.
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 Ergasiis inni karaa balbala kibbaatiin gara oobdii isa keessaatti na fide; innis karra kibbaa safare; safarri karra sanaas safara karrawwan kaaniitiin wal qixxee ture.
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 Safarri manneen waardiyyaa kan utubaawwan isaatii fi kan gardaafoo isaa safara karrawwan kaanii wajjin wal qixxee ture. Karri sunii fi gardaafoon isaa foddaawwaniin marfamanii turan. Innis dheerina dhundhuma shantamaa fi balʼina dhundhuma digdamii shanii qaba ture.
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 Gardaafoowwan karraa kanneen naannoo oobdii gara keessaa jiran lafa irra dheerinni isaanii dhundhuma digdamii shan, balʼinni isaanii immoo dhundhuma shan qaba ture.
There were also porticos all around the inner wall; these were twenty-five cubits in length and five cubits in width.
31 Gardaafoon isaa gara oobdii alaa ilaala ture; tuggeewwan isaa muka meexxiitiin faayeffamanii turan; gulantaawwan saddeetis gara isaa geessu turan.
This portico faced the outer courtyard with carved palm trees on its walls and eight steps going up to it.
32 Ergasii inni karaa baʼaatiin gara oobdii isa keessaatti na fide; innis balbala sana safare; safarri isaas safara karrawwan kaanii wajjin wal qixxee ture.
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 Safarri manneen waardiyyaa, kan utubaawwan isaatii fi kan gardaafoo isaa safara karrawwan kaanii wajjin wal qixxee ture. Karri sunii fi gardaafoon isaa foddaawwaniin marfamanii turan. Innis dheerina dhundhuma shantamaa fi balʼina dhundhuma digdamii shanii qaba ture.
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 Gardaafoon isaa gara oobdii alaa ilaala ture; tuggeen isaa bitaa mirgaan muka meexxiitiin faayeffamee ture; gulantaawwan saddeetis gara isaa geessu turan.
Its portico faced the outer courtyard; it had palm trees on either side of it and eight steps going up it.
35 Ergasii inni gara karra kaabaatti na fide; isas ni safare. Safarri isaas safara karrawwan kaanii wajjin wal qixxee ture.
Next the man brought me to the northern gate and measured it; it measured the same as the other gates.
36 Innis akkuma manneen waardiyyaa isaa, utubaawwan isaatii fi gardaafoo isaa foddaawwaniin marfamee ture. Innis dheerina dhundhuma shantamaatii fi balʼina dhundhuma digdamii shanii qaba ture.
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 Gardaafoon isaa gara oobdii alaa ilaala ture; tuggeen isaa bitaa mirgaan muka meexxiitiin faayeffamee ture; gulantaawwan saddeetis gara isaa geessu turan.
Its portico faced the outer courtyard; it had palm trees on either side of it and eight steps going up it.
38 Kutaan balballi isaa gara gardaafoo karra sanatti baʼu tokko jira ture; innis lafa aarsaan gubamu itti miicamu ture.
There was a room with a door by each of the inner gateways. This was where they rinsed the burnt offerings.
39 Gardaafoo karraa keessa karaa bitaa fi mirgaatiin minjaalota lama kanneen aarsaan gubamu, aarsaan cubbuutii fi aarsaan yakkaa irratti qalamutu ture.
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 Gardaafoo karraa kan gara alaa jiru cina, gulantaawwan balbalaa kanneen ittiin gara karra kaabaa seenan bira minjaalota lamatu ture; gulantaawwan sana irraa qixa kaaniin minjaalota lamatu ture.
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 Kanaafuu karra sana irraa gara tokkoon minjaalota afur, gara kaaniin immoo minjaalota afur, walumatti minjaalota saddeeti kanneen aarsaan irratti qalamutu ture.
There were four tables on either side by the gate; they slaughtered animals on the eight tables.
42 Akkasumas minjaalota dhagaa soofame irraa aarsaa gubamuuf tolfaman afurtu ture; tokkoon tokkoon isaaniis dheerina dhundhuma tokkoo fi walakkaa, balʼina dhundhuma tokkoo fi walakkaatii fi ol dheerina dhundhuma tokkoo qabu ture. Isaan irras meeshaalee ittiin aarsaan gubamuu fi aarsaawwan biraa ittiin qalaman kaaʼamanii turan.
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 Hokkoowwan gaanfa lama lama qaban kanneen tokkoon tokkoon isaanii dheerina barruu harkaa tokko qaban itti qabsiifamanii turan. Minjaalonni sunis kan foon aarsaawwaniitiif qopheeffaman turan.
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 Balbala isa keessaa duubaan oobdii isa keessaa keessa dareewwan lamatu ture; tokko karaa balbala kaabaa gara kibbaatti garagaleera; tokko immoo karaa balbala kibbaa gara kaabaatti garagaleera.
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 Innis akkana naan jedhe; “Dareen gara kibbaatti garagalee jiru luboota warra mana qulqullummaa keessatti ramadamaniifii dha;
Then the man said to me, “This room facing south is for the priests who are on duty in the temple.
46 kan gara kaabaatti garagalee jiru immoo luboota warra iddoo aarsaatti ramadamaniifii dha. Warri kunneen ilmaan Zaadoq; kanneen Lewwota keessaa gara Waaqayyootti dhiʼaatanii fuula isaa dura tajaajilan isaan qofa.”
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 Achii immoo oobdii safare; innis roga afur kan wal qixxee taʼee dheerinni isaa dhundhuma dhibba tokko, balʼinni isaas dhundhuma dhibba tokkoo ti. Iddoon aarsaas fuula mana qulqullummaa dura ture.
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 Innis gara gardaafoo mana qulqullummaatti na fidee tuggeewwan gardaafoo sanaa safare; isaanis qixa lamaaniin dhundhuma shan shan babalʼatan ture. Balʼinni balbala isaa immoo dhundhuma kudha afur ture; keenyan isaas qixa lamaaniin dhundhuma sadii sadii babalʼata ture.
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 Gardaafoon sun balʼinni isaa dhundhuma digdama, fuula isaa duraa hamma dugda duubaatti immoo dhundhuma kudha lama ture. Gulantaawwan gara mana qulqullummaatti geessan kudhanitu ture; qixa lamaaniinis tuggeewwan gurguddaan, tuggeewwan xixinnaa cina turan.
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.
