ʻIsikieli 42

1 Hili ia naʻa ne ʻomi au ki he lotoʻā kituʻa, ki hono potu fakatokelau; pea naʻa ne ʻomi au ki he potu fale ʻaia naʻe hanga mai ki he potu ʻataʻatā ʻaia foki naʻe tuʻu ki muʻa ʻi he fale ʻi hono feituʻu fakatokelau.

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 Ko hono lōloa ʻi hono potu ki he matapā ki tokelau, ko e kiupite ʻe teau, pea ko hono laulahi, ko e kiupite ʻe nimangofulu.

Those rooms were one hundred cubits along their front and fifty cubits in width.

3 Naʻe ngaohi ke fehāngaaki ʻae ngaahi hala ʻi he tuʻa fale ʻi he ngaahi fata ʻe tolu, ʻo feangai atu mo e kiupite ʻe uofulu naʻe tuku ko e lotoʻā ki loto, pea feʻunga mai mo e potu naʻe faliki ke lotoʻā ʻaki, kituʻa.

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 Pea ʻi he mata fale naʻe ʻi ai ʻae hala, ko e kiupite ʻe hongofulu hono laulahi ki loto, mo e hala ʻoe kiupite ʻe taha; pea naʻe hanga hono ngaahi matapā ki he tokelau.

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 Ka ko eni naʻe fakanounou ʻae ngaahi potu fale ki ʻolunga, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻatā ange ʻa hono hala kituʻa ʻi ʻolunga, ʻi he hala ʻoe fata ki lalo, mo ia naʻe hoko ai.

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 He naʻe fata tolu foki, ka naʻe ʻikai hano ngaahi pou, ʻo hangē ko e fakapou ʻoe ngaahi lotoʻā: ko ia naʻe ʻapiʻapi ai ʻae fale ʻolunga, ʻi hono potu ko ia naʻe ʻi lalo, mo ia naʻe hoko hake ai.

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 Pea naʻe ʻi tuaʻā hono ʻā, ʻo hangatonu ia ki he ngaahi potu fale naʻe tuʻu ki he lotoʻā kituʻa, ʻi hono potu ki ʻao ʻoe ngaahi fale, pea ko hono lōloa ko e kiupite ʻe nimangofulu.

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 He ko e lōloa ʻoe ngaahi potu fale ʻaia naʻe ʻi he lotoʻā kituʻa ko e kiupite ʻe nimangofulu: pea, vakai, ko hono lōloa ki hono potu ki ʻao ʻoe fale tapu ko e kiupite ʻe teau.

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 Pea naʻe ai ʻae hūʻanga ʻi he potu ʻoe ngaahi potu fale ni, ki hono potu fakahahake ʻi he ʻaluʻanga ʻo ha taha ʻoku hū ki ai, mei he lotoʻā kituʻa.

There was an entrance to the lowest rooms from the east side, coming from the outer courtyard.

10 Naʻe ngaohi ʻae ngaahi potu fale ʻi he matolu ʻoe ʻā ʻoe lotoʻā, ki hono potu ki hahake, ʻo hangatonu mai ki he potu naʻe ʻataʻatā, pea mo e fale lahi.

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 Pea ko e hala ki muʻa ʻi ai naʻe mata tatau ia mo e ngaahi potu fale ki he potu tokelau, naʻe tatau hono lōloa mo ia, pea tatau mo hono laulahi: pea ko hono ngaahi kātupa naʻe tatau pe hono anga mo ia, pea tatau mo hono ngaahi matapā.

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 Pea hangē ko e ngaahi matapā ʻoe ngaahi potu fale ʻaia naʻe hanga ki he feituʻu tonga, naʻe ai ʻae matapā ʻi he tefito hala, ʻio, ʻae hala naʻe hangatonu atu ki he ʻā, ki he potu hahake, ʻoka hū atu ha taha ki ai.

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 Hili ia naʻa ne pehē mai kiate au, “Ko e ngaahi potu fale ki he tokelau mo e ngaahi potu fale ki he feituʻu tonga, ʻaia ʻoku hangatonu mai ki he potu ʻataʻatā, ko e ngaahi potu fale tapu ia, ʻaia ʻe kai ai ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ʻoku ʻunuʻunu mai kia Sihova, ʻae ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni ʻaupito: te nau hilifaki ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni ʻaupito, mo e feilaulau ʻoe meʻakai, mo e feilaulau ki he angahala, mo e feilaulau ki he fai hala; he ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ʻae potu.

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 ‌ʻOka hū atu ki ai ʻae kau taulaʻeiki, ʻe ʻikai te nau toe ʻalu atu mei he potu māʻoniʻoni ki he lotoʻā kituʻa, ka ko e potu pe ko ia naʻa nau ngāue ai, ʻe tuku ʻi ʻai ʻa honau ngaahi kofu; he ʻoku nau māʻoniʻoni; pea te nau ʻai ʻae ngaahi kofu kehe, ʻoka nau ka ʻalu ʻo kau ʻi ha ngaahi meʻa ʻae kakai.”

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 Pea hili ʻae fakaʻosi ʻe ia hono fuofua ʻoe fale ki loto, naʻa ne ʻomi au ki he matapā ʻaia ʻoku hanga atu ki he potu hahake, pea naʻa ne fua takatakai ia.

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 Naʻe fua ʻa hono potu fakahahake ʻaki ʻae kaho naʻe fuofua ʻaki, ko e kaho ʻe nimangeau, ʻa hono fua takatakai ʻo ʻosi.

He measured the east side with a measuring stick—five hundred cubits with the measuring stick.

17 Naʻa ne fua ʻae potu ki he tokelau ko e kaho ʻe nimangeau ʻi hono fua takatakai ʻaki ʻae kaho.

He measured the north side—five hundred cubits with the measuring stick.

18 Naʻa ne fua ʻae potu ki he feituʻu tonga ʻaki ʻae kaho, ko e kaho ʻe nimangeau.

He also measured the south side—five hundred cubits with the measuring stick.

19 Naʻa ne foki atu ki he potu ki lulunga pea ne fua ʻaki ia ʻae kaho ko e kaho ʻe nimangeau.

He also turned and measured the west side—five hundred cubits with the measuring stick.

20 Naʻa ne fua ia ʻi hono potu ʻe fā: naʻe takatakai ʻaki ia ʻae ʻā, ko e kaho ʻe nimangeau hono lōloa, mo e nimangeau ʻa hono laulahi koeʻuhi ke fevahaʻanaki ai ʻae potu tapu mo e potu ngofua.

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.
