Ezequiel 43

Ka Hoki te Korōria Tapu ki te Temepara

1 Muri iho ka kawea ahau e ia ki te kūwaha, arā ki te kūwaha e anga ana ki te rāwhiti. 2 Nā, ko te korōria o te Atua o Īharaira e puta mai ana, i te ara ki te rāwhiti; ko tōna reo rite tonu ki te haruru o ngā wai maha; mārama tonu te whenua i tōna korōria. 3 Ko tōna rite kei te āhua o tāku kite i kite ai, ki tērā i kite rā ahau i ahau e haere ana ki te whakangaro i te pā; rite tonu hoki ngā kite ki tāku i kite ai ki te awa, ki Kepara; ā, takoto tāpapa ana ahau. 4 Nā, kua tae te korōria o Ihowā ki roto ki te whare; i tika nā te ara o te kūwaha e anga ana ki te rāwhiti. 5 Nā, ka hāpainga ake ahau e te wairua, kawea ana e ia ki tō roto marae. Nā, kua kī te whare i te korōria o Ihowā.

6 I rongo anō ahau i tētahi e kōrero ana ki ahau i roto i te whare; me te tū anō tētahi tangata ki tōku taha. 7 Nā, ka mea ia ki ahau: E te tama a te tangata, Ko te wāhi tēnei i tōku torōna, ko te wāhi anō i ngā kapu o ōku waewae, ko te wāhi e noho nei ahau i waenganui i ngā tama a Īharaira ā ake ake. E kore anō tōku ingoa tapu e whakapokea ā muri nei e te whare o Īharaira, e rātou, e ō rātou kīngi, ki ā rātou moepuku, ki ngā tinana rānei o ō rātou kīngi i ō rātou wāhi tiketike. 8 I tā rātou whakanohoanga i tō rātou paepae ki te taha o tōku paepae, i tō rātou pou tatau i te taha o tōku pou tatau, ā, ko te taiepa anake hei wehe i ahau i a rātou; i whakapokea e rātou tōku ingoa tapu ki ā rātou mea whakarihariha i mahia nei e rātou; nō reira pau ake rātou i ahau, i ahau e riri ana. 9 Nā, me wehe atu e rātou ō rātou moepuku me ngā tinana o ō rātou kīngi, kia matara atu i ahau, ā, ka noho ahau ki waenganui i a rātou ā ake ake.

10 "Ko koe, e te tama a te tangata whakakitea e koe te whare ki te whare o Īharaira, kia whakamā ai rātou ki ō rātou hē; me whanganga hoki e rātou te tauira. 11 Ā, ki te whakamā rātou ki ngā mea katoa i mea ai rātou, whakakitea ki a rātou te āhua o te whare, tōna whai hanga, ōna putanga atu, ōna tapokoranga ki roto, ōna āhua katoa, ōna ritenga katoa, me ōna āhua katoa, me ōna ture katoa, tuhituhia anō ki tō rātou aroaro, kia mau ai i a rātou tōna āhua katoa me ōna ritenga katoa, kia mahia ai e rātou.

12 "Ko te ture tēnei o te whare; ko ngā taha katoa i runga i te tihi o te maunga, tapu rawa ā tawhio noa. Nanā, ko te ture tēnei o te whare."

Te Āta

13 "Ko ngā roroa ēnei o te āta, arā ko ngā whatīanga (he whatīanga me te whānui ringa kei roto i te whatīanga): ā, raro he whatīanga, ko te whānui he whatīanga, ko te taha i te niao he whanganga ringa ā tawhio noa; ko te kaupapa tēnei o te āta. 14 Nā, ko te tūranga i runga i te whenua, haere ake ki tō raro papa, e rua whatīanga; ko te whānui kia kotahi whatīanga; ko tō te papa i raro tae noa ki te papa nui, e whā whatīanga; ko te whānui, kotahi whatīanga. 15 Nā, ko tō runga āta, e whā whatīanga; i te takuahi o te āta whakarunga kia whā ngā haona. 16 Kia tekau mā rua whatīanga te roa o te takuahi o te āta, kia tekau mā rua whatīanga te whānui, he tapawhā, e whā hoki ngā taha. 17 Nā, ko te papa, kia tekau mā whā whatīanga te roa, kia tekau mā whā anō te whānui o ngā taha e whā. Ko te niao i te taha hei te hāwhe whatīanga; ko te tūranga, kia kotahi te whatīanga ā tawhio noa; kia anga anō te pikitanga ki te rāwhiti."

18 I kī mai anō ia ki ahau, "E te tama a te tangata, ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: Ko ngā tikanga tēnei o te āta i te rā e hangā ai hei whakaekenga mō te tahunga tinana, hei tāuhiuhi mō te toto. 19 Me hoatu e koe he pūru, he kūao, hei whakahere hara ki ngā tohunga, ki ngā Rīwaiti, ki ngā uri o Hāroko e whakatata ana ki ahau minita ai, e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā. 20 Me tango anō e koe tētahi wāhi o ōna toto, ka pani ki ōna haona e whā, ki ngā koki e whā o te papa, ki te taha ā tawhio noa. Nā, ka purea taua āta e koe, ka meinga kia mā. 21 Me tiki anō te pūru, te whakahere hara, ā, māna e tahu ki te wāhi o te whare i whakaritea i waho o te wāhi tapu.

22 "Nā, i te rua o ngā rā me whakahere he koati toa, he mea kohakore, hei whakahere hara, ā, ka purea te āta, ka pērātia me tā rātou purenga ki te kau. 23 Ka oti te pure e koe, me whakahere he kūao pūru, he mea kohakore, me tētahi hipi toa o te kāhui, hei te mea kohakore. 24 Me whakahere e koe ki te aroaro o Ihowā, me maka anō e ngā tohunga he tote ki runga, ka whakaeke ai hei tahunga tinana ki a Ihowā.

25 "E whitu ngā rā e mahia ai e koe he hipi hei whakahere hara i tēnei rā, i tēnei rā; me mahi anō e rātou he kūao pūru me tētahi hipi toa o te kāhui, he mea kohakore. 26 E whitu ngā rā e tahia ai e rātou te poke o te āta, e purea ai; ka pēnā tā rātou whakatapu i te āta. 27 Ā, ka poto ēnei rā, nā, i te waru o ngā rā, i ō muri iho anō, ka mahia e ngā tohunga ā koutou tahunga tinana ki runga ki te āta, me ā koutou whakahere mō te pai; ā, ka manako ahau ki a koutou, e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā."

1 Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east. 2 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shined with his glory. 3 And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city; and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face. 4 And the glory of Jehovah came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east. 5 And the Spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of Jehovah filled the house.

6 And I heard one speaking unto me out of the house; and a man stood by me. 7 And he said unto me, Son of man, this is the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever. And the house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, and by the dead bodies of their kings in their high places; 8 in their setting of their threshold by my threshold, and their door-post beside my door-post, and there was but the wall between me and them; and they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger. 9 Now let them put away their whoredom, and the dead bodies of their kings, far from me; and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.

10 Thou, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern. 11 And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, make known unto them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the egresses thereof, and the entrances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof; and write it in their sight; that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them. 12 This is the law of the house: upon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.

13 And these are the measures of the altar by cubits (the cubit is a cubit and a handbreadth): the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about a span; and this shall be the base of the altar. 14 And from the bottom upon the ground to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser ledge to the greater ledge shall be four cubits, and the breadth a cubit. 15 And the upper altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar hearth and upward there shall be four horns. 16 And the altar hearth shall be twelve cubits long by twelve broad, square in the four sides thereof. 17 And the ledge shall be fourteen cubits long by fourteen broad in the four sides thereof; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and the bottom thereof shall be a cubit round about; and the steps thereof shall look toward the east.

18 And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt-offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon. 19 Thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that are of the seed of Zadok, who are near unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord Jehovah, a young bullock for a sin-offering. 20 And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the ledge, and upon the border round about: thus shalt thou cleanse it and make atonement for it. 21 Thou shalt also take the bullock of the sin-offering, and it shall be burnt in the appointed place of the house, without the sanctuary. 22 And on the second day thou shalt offer a he-goat without blemish for a sin-offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they did cleanse it with the bullock. 23 When thou hast made an end of cleansing it, thou shalt offer a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish. 24 And thou shalt bring them near before Jehovah, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt-offering unto Jehovah. 25 Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat for a sin-offering: they shall also prepare a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish. 26 Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify it; so shall they consecrate it. 27 And when they have accomplished the days, it shall be that upon the eighth day, and forward, the priests shall make your burnt-offerings upon the altar, and your peace-offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord Jehovah.
