Ezequiel 42

1 Then he brought me out into the outer court, the way toward the north. Then he brought me into the room that was opposite the separate place, and which was opposite the building toward the north. 2 Facing the length of one hundred cubits*42:2 A cubit is the length from the tip of the middle finger to the elbow on a man’s arm, or about 18 inches or 46 centimeters. was the north door, and the width was fifty cubits. 3 Opposite the twenty cubits which belonged to the inner court, and opposite the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery against gallery in the three stories. 4 Before the rooms was a walk of ten cubits’ width inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors were toward the north. 5 Now the upper rooms were shorter; for the galleries took away from these more than from the lower and the middle in the building. 6 For they were in three stories, and they didn’t have pillars as the pillars of the courts. Therefore the uppermost was set back more than the lowest and the middle from the ground. 7 The wall that was outside by the side of the rooms, toward the outer court before the rooms, was fifty cubits long. 8 For the length of the rooms that were in the outer court was fifty cubits. Behold, those facing the temple were one hundred cubits. 9 From under these rooms was the entry on the east side, as one goes into them from the outer court.

10 In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, before the separate place, and before the building, there were rooms. 11 The way before them was like the appearance of the rooms which were toward the north. Their length and width were the same. All their exits had the same arrangement and doors. 12 Like the doors of the rooms that were toward the south was a door at the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall toward the east, as one enters into them.

13 Then he said to me, "The north rooms and the south rooms, which are opposite the separate place, are the holy rooms, where the priests who are near to Yahweh shall eat the most holy things. There they shall lay the most holy things, with the meal offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering; for the place is holy. 14 When the priests enter in, then they shall not go out of the holy place into the outer court until they lay their garments in which they minister there; for they are holy. Then they shall put on other garments, and shall approach that which is for the people."

15 Now when he had finished measuring the inner house, he brought me out by the way of the gate which faces toward the east, and measured it all around. 16 He measured on the east side with the measuring reed five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed all around. 17 He measured on the north side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed all around. 18 He measured on the south side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed. 19 He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed. 20 He measured it on the four sides. It had a wall around it, the length five hundred cubits, and the width five hundred cubits, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.

Ngā Rūma Tapu me te Taiepa o Waho

1 Kātahi ahau ka kawea e ia ki tō waho marae, ki te ara ki te raki; kawea ana ahau e ia ki te rūma ki te ritenga atu o te wāhi motuhake, ki tērā i te aronga mai o te whare e anga ana ki te raki. 2 I te ritenga atu o ngā whatīanga kotahi rau ko te tatau ki te raki, e rima tekau whatīanga te whānui. 3 I te ritenga atu o ngā whatīanga e rua tekau o tō roto marae, i te ritenga atu anō o te papa kōhatu i tō waho marae, ko tētahi ara e anga mai ana ki tētahi ara, i te toru o ngā whakapaparanga. 4 Nā, i mua i ngā rūma ko tētahi wāhi hāereerenga kotahi tekau whatīanga, he mea e anga ana whakaroto, kotahi te whatīanga o te ara; i anga ō rāua tatau ki te raki. 5 Nā, i poto iho ngā rūma o runga; nā ngā ara hoki i tango tētahi wāhi o ēnei, nui atu i te tangohanga mai i o raro, i o waenganui, o te whare. 6 E toru hoki ngā whakapaparanga, kāhore ia he pou pērā me ngā pou o ngā marae. Nā reira i kūiti ai o runga rawa i o raro, i o waenganui, i te mea ka anga ake i te whenua. 7 Nā, ko te taha i waho e anga ana ki ngā rūma, ki tō waho marae i te taha ki mua o ngā rūma, ko tōna roa e rima tekau whatīanga. 8 E rima tekau whatīanga hoki te roa o ngā rūma i tō waho marae. Nā, i mua i te temepara kotahi rau whatīanga. 9 I raro anō i ēnei rūma te tapokoranga atu i te rāwhiti, i te mea ka tapoko atu i tō waho marae.

10 He rūma anō i te wāhi mātotoru o te pakitara i te marae ki te rāwhiti, i te ritenga atu o te wāhi motuhake, i te ritenga ake anō o te whare. 11 Nā, ko te ara i mua i ērā, rite tonu te āhua ki tō ngā rūma i anga ki te raki; rite tonu te roa, rite tonu te whānui. Ko ngā putanga atu rite tonu ki ngā tikanga, rite tonu ki ngā tatau. 12 Rite tonu anō ki ngā tatau o ngā rūma e anga ana ki te tonga te tatau i te ahunga mai o te ara, o te ara i mua tonu i te taiepa ki te rāwhiti i te mea ka tomo tētahi ki roto.

13 Kātahi ia ka mea ki ahau, "Ko ngā rūma ki te raki, ko ngā rūma ki te tonga i mua i te wāhi motuhake, he rūma tapu ēnā, ka kainga ngā mea tapu rawa ki reira e ngā tohunga e whakatata ana ki a Ihowā. Me waiho i reira ngā mea tapu rawa, me te whakahere totokore, me te whakahere hara, me te whakahere mō te hē – he tapu hoki taua wāhi. 14 Ka tae ngā tohunga ki roto, kaua e haere atu i roto i te wāhi tapu ki tō waho marae; engari, me waiho i reira ō rātou kākahu e minita ai, he tapu hoki; me kākahu anō ētahi atu kākahu, ka whakatata ai ki ngā mea mā te iwi."

15 Nā, ka mutu tāna whanganga i tō roto whare, ka kawea ahau e ia ki te kūwaha e anga ana ki te rāwhiti, whanganga ana ia i tētahi taha, i tētahi taha. 16 I whanganga e ia ki te kākaho whanganga te taha ki te rāwhiti, e rima rau kākaho, he mea whanganga ki te kākaho whanganga, i tētahi taha, i tētahi taha. 17 I whanganga ia ki te taha i te raki, e rima rau kākaho, he mea whanganga ki te kākaho whanganga, i tētahi taha, i tētahi taha. 18 I whanganga ia ki te taha ki te tonga e rima rau kākaho, he mea whanganga ki te kākaho whanganga. 19 I tahuri atu ia ki te taha ki te hauāuru, whanganga ana e ia, e rima rau kākaho, ki te kākaho whanganga. 20 Whanganga ana a reira e ia i ngā taha e whā. He taiepa tōna ā tawhio noa, e rima rau kākaho te roa, e rima rau te whānui, hei wehe i te wāhi tapu i te wāhi noa.
