Ezequiel 40

Te Kitenga o te Temepara Hou

1 I te rua tekau mā rima o ngā tau o tō mātou whakaraunga, i te tīmatanga o te tau, i te tekau o ngā rā o te marama, i te tekau mā whā o ngā tau o te horonga o te pā, i taua tino rā ka pā te ringa o Ihowā ki ahau, ā, kawea ana ahau e ia ki reira. 2 Kawea ana ahau e ia, he whakakitenga nā te Atua, ki te whenua o Īharaira, whakanohoia ana ahau e ia ki tētahi maunga tiketike rawa, i reira tētahi mea, he rite tōna hanga ki tō te pā i te tonga. 3 Ā, kawea ana ahau e ia ki reira; nā, ko tētahi tangata, ko tōna āhua, ānō he parāhi ki te titiro atu, he aho muka i tōna ringa, he kākaho ānō hei whanganga; i te kūwaha ia e tū ana. 4 Nā, ka mea taua tangata ki ahau, "E te tama a te tangata, titiro mai ōu kanohi, whakarongo ōu taringa, tahuri mai anō tōu ngākau ki ngā mea katoa e whakakitea e ahau ki a koe; i kawea mai hoki koe ki konei kia whakakitea ai ēnei mea ki a koe. Whakaaturia ki te whare o Īharaira ngā mea katoa e kite ai koe."

Te Kūwaha Rāwhiti

5 Nā, he taiepa kei waho o te whare ā taka noa, i te ringa hoki o taua tangata he kākaho hei whanganga, e ono whatīanga te roa; kotahi whatīanga me te whānui ringa o tētahi, o tētahi. Nā, kei te whanganga ia i te whānui o taua mea i hangā rā, kotahi te kākaho; ko te tiketike hoki kotahi te kākaho.

6 Kātahi ia ka tae ki te kūwaha e anga ana ki te rāwhiti, kei te piki i ōna kaupae; kei te whanganga i te paepae o te kūwaha, ko te whānui, kotahi kākaho; i tētahi atu paepae anō, kotahi kākaho te whānui. 7 Nā, ko te roa o te rūma kotahi, kotahi kākaho; ko te whānui, kotahi kākaho; i te takiwā o ngā rūma, e rima whatīanga; nā, ko te paepae o te kūwaha i te whakamahau o te kūwaha i te taha ki roto, kotahi kākaho.

8 Kātahi ia ka whanganga anō i te whakamahau o te kūwaha, te taha ki te whare, kotahi kākaho. 9 Kātahi ia ka whanganga i te whakamahau o te kūwaha, e waru whatīanga; me ōna pou, e rua whatīanga; nā, ko te whakamahau o te kūwaha e anga ana ki te whare.

10 Nā, ko ngā rūma o te kūwaha whaka te rāwhiti, e toru i tēnei taha, e toru i tērā taha; ko ngā mea e toru, kotahi tonu te nui; kotahi tonu anō te nui o ngā pou i tēnei taha, i tērā taha. 11 I whanganga anō ia i te whānui o te tapokoranga i te kūwaha, kotahi tekau whatīanga; ko te roa o te kūwaha kotahi, tekau mā toru whatīanga. 12 Nā, ko te taha ki mua i ngā rūma, kotahi te whatīanga; ko tētahi atu taha hoki kotahi te whatīanga. Nā, ko ngā rūma, e ono whatīanga o tēnei taha, e ono whatīanga o tērā taha. 13 I whanganga anō ia i te kūwaha i te tuanui o tētahi rūma, tae noa ki te tuanui o tētahi, e rua tekau mā rima whatīanga te whānui; ko tētahi tatau anga tonu mai ki tētahi tatau. 14 Ā, i hangā e ia ētahi pou, e ono tekau whatīanga; ā, ko te marae i tae atu ki te pou, ko te kūwaha i tētahi taha, i tētahi taha. 15 Nā, ko te takiwā i te aronga o te kūwaha e tapoko ai, tae noa ki te aronga o te whakamahau o tō roto kūwaha, e rima tekau whatīanga. 16 Nā, he matapihi kūiti o ngā rūma, o ngā pou anō i roto i te kūwaha ā taka noa, o ngā haurangi anō; he matapihi anō o ngā taha ki roto ā taka noa; he nīkau anō kei tēnei pou, kei tēnei pou.

Te Marae i Waho

17 Kātahi ahau ka kawea e ia ki tō waho marae, nā, he rūma i reira, he papa kōhatu hoki, he mea i hangā mō te marae ā taka noa. E toru tekau ngā rūma i runga i te papa kōhatu. 18 Nā, ko te papa kōhatu i te taha o ngā kūwaha i te ritenga atu o te taha roa o ngā kūwaha, ko tō raro papa tērā. 19 Kātahi ia ka whanganga i te whānui i te aronga o tō raro kūwaha tae noa ki te aronga o tō roto marae, ki te taha ki waho, kotahi rau whatīanga, ki te rāwhiti, ki te raki.

Te Kūwaha Raki

20 Nā, ko te kūwaha o tō waho marae e anga ana ki te raki, i whanganga anō e ia te roa, te whānui. 21 Nā, ko ōna rūma, e toru i tēnei taha, e toru i tērā taha, ko ōna pou, ko ōna haurangi rite tonu te nui ki tō te kūwaha tuatahi; e rima tekau whatīanga te roa, e rua tekau mā rima whatīanga te whānui. 22 Nā, ko ngā matapihi, ko ngā haurangi, ko ngā nīkau, he mea whakarite ki te nui o te kūwaha e anga ana ki te rāwhiti, e whitu anō ngā kaupae i pikitia ai a reira; i mua hoki i aua rūma ngā haurangi. 23 Nā, he kūwaha anō kei tō roto marae e anga ana ki tērā kūwaha ki te raki, ki te rāwhiti hoki; i whanganga anō ia i te takiwā o tētahi kūwaha, o tētahi kūwaha, kotahi rau whatīanga.

Te Kūwaha Tonga

24 Nā, ka ārahina ahau e ia ki te tonga, nā, ko tētahi kūwaha ki te tonga. Nā, ka whanganga ia ki ōna pou me ōna haurangi, rite tonu ki ēnei kua oti nei te whanganga. 25 He matapihi anō o reira, i ōna haurangi anō hoki ā taka noa, he pērā me ērā matapihi; e rima tekau ngā whatīanga te roa, e rua tekau mā rima whatīanga te whānui. 26 E whitu ngā kaupae i pikitia ai; i mua ko ngā haurangi; he nīkau anō ōna, ko tētahi i tētahi taha, ko tētahi i tētahi taha i runga i ōna pou. 27 Nā, he kūwaha anō kei tō roto marae i te taha ki te tonga; i whanganga anō ia i te takiwā o tētahi kūwaha, o tētahi kūwaha ki te tonga, kotahi rau whatīanga.

Ngā Kūwaha ki te Marae i Roto

28 Kātahi ka kawea ahau e ia nā te kūwaha ki te tonga ki tō roto marae, ā, whanganga ana ia i te kūwaha ki te tonga, rite tonu ki ēnei kua oti nei te whanganga. 29 Me ngā rūma anō o reira, me ngā pou, me ōna haurangi, rite tonu ki ēnei kua oti nei te whanganga; he matapihi anō o reira, o ōna haurangi anō ā taka noa. E rima tekau whatīanga te roa, e rua tekau mā rima whatīanga te whānui. 30 Nā, ko ngā haurangi ā taka noa, e rua tekau mā rima whatīanga te roa, e rima whatīanga te whānui. 31 Ā, i anga ōna haurangi ki tō waho marae; he nīkau anō o ōna pou. E waru anō ngā kaupae o te pikitanga ki reira.

32 I kawea anō ahau e ia ki tō roto marae whaka te rāwhiti, ā, whanganga ana ia i te kūwaha; rite tonu ki ēnei kua oti nei te whanganga. 33 Nā, ko ngā rūma o reira, ko ōna pou, ko ōna haurangi, rite tonu ki ēnei kua oti nei te whanganga; he matapihi anō o reira, o ngā haurangi anō ā taka noa; e rima tekau whatīanga te roa, e rua tekau mā rima whatīanga te whānui. 34 I anga anō ōna haurangi ki tō waho marae, he nīkau anō kei ōna pou i tēnei taha, i tērā taha; e waru ngā kaupae o te pikitanga ki reira.

35 I kawea anō ahau e ia ki te kūwaha ki te raki, ā, whanganga ana ia; rite tonu ki ēnei kua oti nei te whanganga. 36 Ko ōna rūma, ko ōna pou, ko ōna haurangi, me ōna matapihi anō ā taka noa; e rima tekau whatīanga te roa, e rua tekau mā rima whatīanga te whānui. 37 Ā, ko ōna pou kei te taha ki tō waho marae; he nīkau anō kei ōna pou i tēnei taha, i tērā taha. E waru ngā kaupae o te pikitanga ki reira.

Ngā Ruma hei Horoi te Tahunga Tinana

38 Nā tērā tētahi rūma, he tapokoranga anō ki reira, i ngā pou o ngā kūwaha; ko te wāhi tērā i horoia ai te tahunga tinana. 39 Nā, i te whakamahau o te kūwaha e rua ngā tēpu i tēnei taha, e rua ngā tēpu i tērā taha, hei patunga ki runga mō te tahunga tinana, mō te whakahere hara, mō te whakahere mō te hē. 40 I te taha anō ki waho e rua ngā tēpu i te wāhi e piki ai ki te tapokoranga o te kūwaha ki te raki; e rua ngā tēpu i tērā taha, i te whakamahau o te kūwaha. 41 E whā ngā tēpu i tēnei taha, e whā anō ngā tēpu i tērā taha, i te taha o te kūwaha; e waru ngā tēpu i patua ai ngā patunga tapu. 42 Nā, he kōhatu tārai ngā tēpu e whā mō te tahunga tinana, kotahi whatīanga me te hāwhe te roa, kotahi whatīanga me te hāwhe te whānui, kotahi whatīanga te tiketike; ko te takotoranga ēnā o ngā patu mō te tahunga tinana, mō te patunga tapu. 43 Kua oti anō ētahi matau te whakanoho ki te taha ki roto ā taka noa, kotahi ringa te whānui; ā, i runga i ngā tēpu ko te kikokiko o te whakahere.

Ngā Rūma mā ngā Rīwai

44 Nā, i waho o tō roto kūwaha ko ngā rūma o ngā kaiwaiata i tō roto marae, arā i tērā ki te taha o te kūwaha o te raki. I anga aua rūma ki te tonga; i anga anō ki te raki tētahi i te taha o te kūwaha ki te rāwhiti. 45 Nā, ka mea ia ki ahau, "Ko tēnei rūma e anga nei ki te tonga, mō ngā tohunga, mō ngā kaitiaki o ngā mea o te whare. 46 Nā, ko te rūma e anga nei ki te raki, mō ngā tohunga, mō ngā kaitiaki o ngā mea o te āta. Ko ngā tama ēnei a Hāroko i roto i ngā tama a Rīwai, e whakatata ana ki a Ihowā ki te minita ki a ia." 47 Nā, ka whanganga ia i te marae, kotahi rau whatīanga te roa, kotahi rau whatīanga te whānui, he tapawhā; ā, ko te āta hoki i mua i te whare.

Te Temepara

48 Kātahi ahau ka kawea e ia ki te whakamahau o te whare. Kei te whanganga ia i tēnei pou, i tēnei pou o te whakamahau, e rima whatīanga i tēnei taha, e rima whatīanga i tērā taha. Nā, ko te whānui o te kūwaha, e toru whatīanga i tēnei taha, e toru whatīanga i tērā taha. 49 Ko te roa o te whakamahau e rua tekau whatīanga; ko te whānui kotahi tekau mā tahi whatīanga; arā mā ngā kaupae i pikitia atu ai a reira; ā, he pou anō ērā i te taha o ngā pou, ko tētahi i tēnei taha, ko tētahi i tērā taha.

1 In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day, the hand of Jehovah was upon me, and he brought me thither. 2 In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me down upon a very high mountain, whereon was as it were the frame of a city on the south. 3 And he brought me thither; and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate. 4 And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thy heart upon all that I shall show thee; for, to the intent that I may show them unto thee, art thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.

5 And, behold, a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed six cubits long, of a cubit and a handbreadth each: so he measured the thickness of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed. 6 Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east, and went up the steps thereof: and he measured the threshold of the gate, one reed broad; and the other threshold, one reed broad. 7 And every lodge was one reed long, and one reed broad; and the space between the lodges was five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate toward the house was one reed. 8 He measured also the porch of the gate toward the house, one reed. 9 Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was toward the house. 10 And the lodges of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side. 11 And he measured the breadth of the opening of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits; 12 and a border before the lodges, one cubit on this side, and a border, one cubit on that side; and the lodges, six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side. 13 And he measured the gate from the roof of the one lodge to the roof of the other, a breadth of five and twenty cubits; door against door. 14 He made also posts, threescore cubits; and the court reached unto the posts, round about the gate. 15 And from the forefront of the gate at the entrance unto the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were fifty cubits. 16 And there were closed windows to the lodges, and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches; and windows were round about inward; and upon each post were palm-trees.

17 Then brought he me into the outer court; and, lo, there were chambers and a pavement, made for the court round about: thirty chambers were upon the pavement. 18 And the pavement was by the side of the gates, answerable unto the length of the gates, even the lower pavement. 19 Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate unto the forefront of the inner court without, a hundred cubits, both on the east and on the north.

20 And the gate of the outer court whose prospect is toward the north, he measured the length thereof and the breadth thereof. 21 And the lodges thereof were three on this side and three on that side; and the posts thereof and the arches thereof were after the measure of the first gate: the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits. 22 And the windows thereof, and the arches thereof, and the palm-trees thereof, were after the measure of the gate whose prospect is toward the east; and they went up unto it by seven steps; and the arches thereof were before them. 23 And there was a gate to the inner court over against the other gate, both on the north and on the east; and he measured from gate to gate a hundred cubits.

24 And he led me toward the south; and, behold, a gate toward the south: and he measured the posts thereof and the arches thereof according to these measures. 25 And there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about, like those windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits. 26 And there were seven steps to go up to it, and the arches thereof were before them; and it had palm-trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon the posts thereof. 27 And there was a gate to the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south a hundred cubits.

28 Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he measured the south gate according to these measures; 29 and the lodges thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, according to these measures: and there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about; it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad. 30 And there were arches round about, five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad. 31 And the arches thereof were toward the outer court; and palm-trees were upon the posts thereof: and the ascent to it had eight steps.

32 And he brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the gate according to these measures; 33 and the lodges thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, according to these measures: and there were windows therein and in the arches thereof round about; it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad. 34 And the arches thereof were toward the outer court; and palm-trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the ascent to it had eight steps.

35 And he brought me to the north gate: and he measured it according to these measures; 36 the lodges thereof, the posts thereof, and the arches thereof: and there were windows therein round about; the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits. 37 And the posts thereof were toward the outer court; and palm-trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the ascent to it had eight steps.

38 And a chamber with the door thereof was by the posts at the gates; there they washed the burnt-offering. 39 And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slay thereon the burnt-offering and the sin-offering and the trespass-offering. 40 And on the one side without, as one goeth up to the entry of the gate toward the north, were two tables; and on the other side, which belonged to the porch of the gate, were two tables. 41 Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon they slew the sacrifices. 42 And there were four tables for the burnt-offering, of hewn stone, a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high; whereupon they laid the instruments wherewith they slew the burnt-offering and the sacrifice. 43 And the hooks, a handbreadth long, were fastened within round about: and upon the tables was the flesh of the oblation.

44 And without the inner gate were chambers for the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate; and their prospect was toward the south; one at the side of the east gate having the prospect toward the north. 45 And he said unto me, This chamber, whose prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house; 46 and the chamber whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok, who from among the sons of Levi come near to Jehovah to minister unto him. 47 And he measured the court, a hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar was before the house.

48 Then he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side. 49 The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; even by the steps whereby they went up to it: and there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
