Ezekiela 44
1 Nendese’e nibalike mb’an-dalambey alafe’ i toetse miavake miatrek’ atiñanañey mb’eo iraho; f’ie nirindriñe.
Then he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looks toward the east; and it was shut.
2 Le hoe t’Iehovà amako: Hagabeñe ty lalañe toy, tsy ho sokafeñe, le tsy himoak’ ama’e t’indaty; amy te fa nizilik’ ao t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele, aa le harindriñe izay.
YHWH said to me, "This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened, neither shall any man enter in by it; for YHWH, the God of Israel, has entered in by it; therefore it shall be shut.
3 I roandriañey avao ty hiambesatse ao hikama mahakama añatrefa’ Iehovà ty amy maha-roandriañe aze; hizilike mb’amy ana-piziliha’ i lalambeiy re, vaho ama’e ka ty hienga’e mb’eo.
As for the prince, he shall sit in it as prince to eat bread before YHWH; he shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go out by the way of the same."
4 Nendese’e niary amy lalambey avaratsey iraho, mb’ añ’ aolo’ i kivohoy mb’eo; nenteako le indroke nandifotse i kivoho’ Iehovày ty enge’ Iehovà; vaho nibaboke an-tareheko.
Then he brought me by the way of the north gate before the house; and I looked, and look, the glory of YHWH filled the house of YHWH: and I fell on my face.
5 Le hoe t’Iehovà amako: O ana’ ondatio, arendreho soa, le isaho am-pihaino naho janjiño an-dravembia ze he’e ho volañeko ama’o ty amo fañè’ i kivoho’ Iehovàio naho o fañòha’eo; arendreho o mete hampihovañe amy kivohoio, vaho o rarañe tsy himoak’ amy toetse miavakeio.
YHWH said to me, "Son of man, mark well, and see with your eyes, and hear with your ears all that I tell you concerning all the ordinances of the house of YHWH, and all its laws; and mark well the entrance of the house, with every exit of the sanctuary.
6 Le saontsio ty hoe o mpiolao, i anjomba’ Israeley, inao ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Ry anjomba’ Israele, fonga ajihero o hakarapiloa’oo,
You shall tell the rebellious, even to the house of Israel, 'Thus says YHWH: you house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations,
7 ty amy nampihova’o an-toeko miavake ao o ambahiny tsy nisavareñe añ’arofo naho tsy afak’ ofoke an-tsandriñeo, hañota-faly amy anjombakoy, ie nengae’o amako o hànekoo, ty safo’e naho ty lio’e. Tovo’ ze haloloañ’ iaby nivaliha’ areo amy fañinakoy;
in that you have brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to profane it, even my house, when you offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and you have broken my covenant, to add to all your abominations.
8 vaho tsy namandroñe o raha masikoo; te mone nampivandroñe’ iareo ze nisatrie’ areo avao i toeko miavakey.
You have not performed the duty of my holy things; but you have set performers of my duty in my sanctuary for yourselves.'
9 Aa le hoe t’Iehovà Talè: Tsy himoak’ amy toeko miavakey ty ambahiny tsy nisavareñe añ’arofo naho tsy afak’ ofok’ an-tsandriñe, amo renetane mitraok’ amo nte-Israeleo iabio.
"Thus says YHWH, 'No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any foreigners who are among the children of Israel.
10 Le hivave ty lafa’ iareo o nte-Levy nihànkañe amakoo, ie nandifik’ amako t’Israele naho nandrìke mb’ amo samposampon-draha’ iareoo.
But the Levites who went far from me, when Israel went astray, who went astray from me after their idols, they shall bear their iniquity.
11 Ho mpañambiñe an-toeko miavake ao iereo, hisary o lalambein-kivohoo, hampikasokasok’ amy kibohokoy ao; handenta o engan-koroañeo naho o fisoroña’ ondatioo, hiatrake ondatio, hitoroñe iareo.
Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having oversight at the gates of the house, and ministering in the house: they shall kill the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister to them.
12 Amy te nitoroñe’ iareo aolo’ o saren’ drahare’ iareoo, naho ninjare bolokon-kakeo fampitsikapieñe i anjomba’ Israeley, le nizonjoeko haoke hoe t’Iehovà Talè, vaho ho vavè’ iereo o hakeo’ iareoo.
Because they ministered to them before their idols, and became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel; therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, says YHWH, and they shall bear their iniquity.
13 Tsy hitotok’ amako iereo, tsy hitoroñe ahy ho mpisoroñe, tsy hañarine o raha masikoo naho o raha loho miavakeo; fa hivave fisalarañe ty amo hatsivokarañe nanoe’ iereoo.
They shall not come near to me, to execute the office of priest to me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, to the things that are most holy; but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.
14 F’ie ho tendrèko ho mpigaritse i kivohokoy, naho hikotrokotrok’ ama’eo, ze hene kasokasoheñe ama’e ao.
Yet will I make them performers of the duty of the house, for all its service, and for all that shall be done in it.
15 Fe o mpisoroñe nte-Levy ana’ i Tsadoke namandroñe i toeko miavakey, ie nandifik’ amako o nte-Israeleoo ro hitotok’ amako hitoroñ’ ahy, hijohañe añatrefako hañenga ty safo’e naho ty lio amako, hoe t’Iehovà Talè;
"'But the Levitical priests, the sons of Zadok, who performed the duty of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister to me; and they shall stand before me to offer to me the fat and the blood, says YHWH:
16 Ie ro himoak’ amy toeko miavakey ao, hitotok’ amy fandambañakoy hitoroñe ahy vaho hamandroñe o ahikoo.
they shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister to me, and they shall keep my instruction.
17 Ie mizilik’ amo lalambein-kiririsa’ añateo, le hisikiñe lamba leny naho tsy ho amam-bolonañondry t’ie mitoloñe an-dalambein-kiririsa añate’e naho amy trañoy.
"'It shall be that, when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come on them, while they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.
18 Ho aman-tsabaka leny ty añambone’ iareo, naho koloty leny ty ambania’e; vaho tsy hisikiñe ze hahatera-liñetse.
They shall have linen turbans on their heads, and shall have linen breeches on their waists; they shall not clothe themselves with anything that causes sweat.
19 Le ie miakatse mb’an-kiririsa alafe’e ao, mb’an-kiririsa ama’ ondaty mb’eo, le hafaha’ iareo hey o sikiñe nitoroñañeo naho halafike amo efetsefe miavakeo; le hiombe saroñe ila’e, tsy mone hampiavake ondatio amo siki’eo.
When they go forth into the outer court, even into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments in which they minister, and lay them in the holy rooms; and they shall put on other garments, that they not sanctify the people with their garments.
20 Tsy hañara-doha iereo, naho tsy hapoke ho lava o maroi’eo; fe ho tomotomoreñe o maroin’ añambone’eo.
"'Neither shall they shave their heads, nor allow their locks to grow long; they shall only cut off the hair of their heads.
21 Tsy hinon-divay ty mpisoroñe t’ie mizilik’ an-kiririsa añate’e ao.
Neither shall any of the priests drink wine, when they enter into the inner court.
22 Tsy hañenga vantotse iereo, ndra ty narian-dahy, fa somondrara tariran’ anjomba’ Israele ndra ty vantotse remavoi’ ty mpisoroñe.
Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her who is put away; but they shall take virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow who is the widow of a priest.
23 Haò’ iereo ondatikoo ty hañambahañe ty masiñe ami’ty tsotra, vaho hampandrendreheñe ty faly naho ty malio.
They shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the common, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
24 Ie eo ty fandierañe le hizaka’ iareo; hizaka amo fepèkoo; naho hañambeñe Hake naho o fañèko amo hene famantañakoo vaho ho masiñe’ iereo o Sabatekoo.
"'In a controversy they shall stand to judge; according to my ordinances shall they judge it: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all my appointed feasts; and they shall make my Sabbaths holy.
25 Tsy haniva vatañe iereo ami’ty hizilihañe an-dolo ao; f’ie mahazo mandeo-batañe naho rae ndra rene, ana-dahy naho anak’ampela, vaho rahalahy ndra rahavave tsy manambaly.
"'They shall go in to no dead person to defile themselves; but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister who has had no husband, they may defile themselves.
26 Ie malio, le hañiahañe fito andro.
After he is cleansed, they shall reckon to him seven days.
27 Ie amy andro iziliha’e i toetse miavakey, an-kiririsa’ añate’e ao, hitoloña’e amy toetse miavakey, le hengae’e i engan-kakeo’ey, hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
In the day that he goes into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, says YHWH.
28 Izay ty ho lova iareo; Izaho o lova’ iareoo fa tsy ho tolorañe fanañañe e Israele ao; Izaho ro fanaña’ iareo.
"'They shall have an inheritance: I am their inheritance; and you shall give them no possession in Israel; I am their possession.
29 Ho kamae’ iereo ty enga-mahakama, naho ty engan-kakeo, naho ty engan-tahiñe, vaho ho a iareo ze raha natokañe e Israele ao.
They shall eat the meal offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; and every devoted thing in Israel shall be theirs.
30 Le ho a o mpisoroñeo ze hene karazan-doha-voa, naho ze fonga enga ndra inoñe ty karaza’e boak’amo enga’ areo iabio; hatolo’ areo amo mpisoroñeo ka ty loha-voa fanoñaha’ areo, soa te hipetak’ añ’anjomba’ areo ty fañanitsiñe.
The first of all the first fruits of every thing, and every offering of everything, of all your offerings, shall be for the priest: you shall also give to the priests the first of your dough, to cause a blessing to rest on your house.
31 Tsy ho kamae’ o mpisoroñeo ty raha nimate boboke ndra rinimitse, he voroñe ke biby.
The priests shall not eat of anything that dies of itself, or is torn, whether it be bird or animal.
