Ezekiel 39-41
Maori Bible
39 Na ko koe, e te tama a te tangata, poropititia he he mo Koko, mea atu, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Nana, hei hoariri ahau mou, e Koko, e te tino rangatira o Roho, o Meheke, o Tupara;
2 A ka whakatahuritia koe e ahau, ka arahina atu koe, ka meinga hoki kia puta ake koe i nga pito rawa ki te raki, a ka kawea mai koe e ahau ki runga ki nga maunga o Iharaira.
3 Ka patua atu ano e ahau tau kopere i roto i tou maui, ka meinga hoki au pere kia marere i roto i tou matau.
4 Ka hinga koe ki runga ki nga maunga o Iharaira, a koe, me ou ropu katoa, me nga iwi i a koe: ka hoatu koe e ahau hei kai ma nga manu kai kino o ia ahau, o ia ahau, ma nga kirehe ano o te parae.
5 Ka hinga koe ki te mata o te parae: naku hoki te kupu, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa,
6 Ka tukua atu ano e ahau he ahi ki a Makoko, ratou ko te hunga e noho humarie ana i nga motu, a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau.
7 A ka meinga e ahau toku ingoa tapu kia mohiotia i roto i taku iwi, i a Iharaira, e kore ano e tukua e ahau kia whakapokea toku ingoa tapu a muri ake nei: a ka mohio nga tauiwi ko Ihowa ahau, ko te Mea Tapu i roto i a Iharaira.
8 Nana, kua tae mai, kua oti, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa; ko te ra tenei i korerotia ra e ahau.
9 Ka puta ano nga tangata o nga pa o Iharaira, a ka tahuna e ratou, ka wera ano i a ratou nga patu, nga whakangungu rakau, nga puapua, nga kopere, nga pere, nga hani, nga tao; ko nga tau e tahuna ai aua mea e ratou, e whitu.
10 E kore hoki e maua e ratou he wahie i te parae, e kore ano e tapahia i nga ngahere; no te mea ka tahuna e ratou nga patu ki te ahi: ka pahuatia e ratou o ratou kaipahua, ka murua nga taonga o o ratou kaimuru, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
11 Na a taua ra ka hoatu e ahau ki a Koko he wahi tanumanga ki reira, ki a Iharaira, ko te raorao o nga tira haere i te taha ki te rawhiti o te moana; kutia iho ki reira nga ihu o nga tira haere: ka tanumia hoki ki reira a Koko ratou ko ana mano ti ni: a ka huaina a reira, Ko te raorao o Hamono Koko.
12 A e whitu nga marama o te whare o Iharaira e tanu ana i a ratou kia watea ai te whenua.
13 Ina, ka tanumia ratou e te iwi katoa o te whenua; a hei ingoa nui ki a ratou i te ra e whakakororiatia ai ahau, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
14 Ka wehea ano e ratou etahi tangata, he mea tuturu, hei haere i runga i te whenua, hei tanu i nga tira haere, i te hunga e toe ana i runga i te mata o te whenua, kia watea ai: i te mutunga o nga marama e whitu ka rapu ratou.
15 A ka haere nga tira haere, ka tika i te whenua; ka kite tetahi i te whenua tangata, ka whakaturia e ia he tohu ki tona taha, kia tanumia ra ano e nga kaitanu ki te raorao o Hamono Koko.
16 A ko Hamona hoki hei ingoa mo tetahi pa. Na ka watea te whenua.
17 Na ko koe, e te tama a te tangata, ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Mea atu ki nga manu o ia ahau, o ia ahua, ki nga kirehe katoa o te parae, Huihui mai, haere mai; whakamine mai koutou i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, ki taku patunga e patua nei e ahau ma koutou, he patunga nui ki runga ki nga maunga o Iharaira, kia kai kikokiko ai, kia inu toto ai koutou.
18 Ka kai koutou i nga kikokiko o te hunga marohirohi, ka inu i nga toto o nga rangatira o te whenua, o nga hipi toa, o nga reme, o nga koati, o nga puru, he mea momona katoa no Pahana.
19 A ka kai koutou i te ngako a makona noa, ka inu hoki i te toto a haurangi, noa, he mea no taku patunga e patua e ahau ma koutou.
20 Na ka makona koutou i nga hoiho o taku tepu, i nga hoiho hariata, i nga marohirohi, i nga tangata whawhai katoa, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
21 Ka whakaturia e ahau toku kororia ki roto ki nga tauiwi, a ka kite nga tauiwi katoa i taku whakawa e whakaritea e ahau, i toku ringa ano ka pa nei ki a ratou.
22 Na ka mohio te whare o Iharaira, ko Ihowa ahau, ko to ratou Atua, i taua ra a ake ake.
23 Ka mohio ano nga tauiwi, he he no te whare o Iharaira i whakaraua ai ratou: he pokanga ketanga no ta ratou ki ahau i huna ai e ahau toku mata ki a ratou, heoi tukua ana ratou e ahau ki te ringa o o ratou hoariri: a hinga katoa ana i te hoari.
24 Ko taku i mea ai ki a ratou rite tonu ki to ratou poke, ki o ratou pokanga ketanga, a huna ana e ahau toku mata ki a ratou.
25 Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Ka whakahokia mai e ahau aianei a Hakopa i te whakarau, ka aroha ahau ki te whare katoa o Iharaira; ka hae hoki ahau, he whakaaro ki toku ingoa tapu;
26 A ka whakawaha e ratou to ratou whakama, o ratou pokanga ketanga katoa hoki i poka ke ai ta ratou ki ahau, ina noho humarie ratou i to ratou whenua, a kahore he tangata hei whakawehi i a ratou;
27 Ina oti ratou te whakahoki mai e ahau i roto i nga iwi, ina kohikohia mai ratou i nga whenua o o ratou hoariri, a ka whakatapua ahau i runga i a ratou i te tirohanga a nga iwi maha.
28 Katahi ratou ka mohio ko Ihowa ahau, ko to ratou Atua, i mea nei kia whakaraua ratou ki roto ki nga tauiwi, i kohikohi ano i a ratou ki to ratou oneone; a kahore noa iho tetahi o ratou e mahua i ahau ki reira.
29 E kore ano e huna e ahau toku mata a muri ake nei ki a ratou: kua ringihia hoki e ahau toku wairua ki runga ki te whare o Iharaira, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
40 I te rua tekau ma rima o nga tau o to matou whakaraunga, i te timatanga o te tau, i te tekau o nga ra o te marama, i te tekau ma wha o nga tau o te horonga o te pa, i taua tino ra ka pa te ringa o Ihowa ki ahau, a kawea ana ahau e ia ki reira.
2 Kawea ana ahau e ia, he whakakitenga na te Atua, ki te whenua o Iharaira, whakanohoia ana ahau e ia ki tetahi maunga tiketike rawa, i reira tetahi mea, he rite tona hanga ki to te pa i te tonga.
3 A kawea ana ahau e ia ki reira; na ko tetahi tangata, ko tona ahua, ano he parahi ki te titiro atu, he aho muka i tona ringa, he kakaho ano hei whanganga; i te kuwaha ia e tu ana.
4 Na ka mea taua tangata ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, titiro mai ou kanohi, whakarongo ou taringa, tahuri mai ano tou ngakau ki nga mea katoa e whakakitea e ahau ki a koe; i kawea mai hoki koe ki konei kia whakakitea ai enei mea ki a koe: whaka aturia ki te whare o Iharaira nga mea katoa e kite ai koe.
5 Na, he taiepa kei waho o te whare a taka noa, i te ringa hoki o taua tangata he kakaho hei whanganga, e ono whatianga te roa; kotahi whatianga me te whanui ringa o tetahi, o tetahi. Na kei te whanganga ia i te whanui o taua mea i hanga ra, kotahi te kakaho; ko te tiketike hoki kotahi te kakaho.
6 Katahi ia ka tae ki te kuwaha e anga ana ki te rawhiti, kei te piki i ona kaupae; kei te whanganga i te paepae o te kuwaha, ko te whanui, kotahi kakaho; i tetahi atu paepae ano, kotahi kakaho te whanui.
7 Na, ko te roa o te ruma kotahi, kotahi kakaho; ko te whanui, kotahi kakaho; i te takiwa o nga ruma, e rima whatianga; na, ko te paepae o te kuwaha i te whakamahau o te kuwaha i te taha ki roto, kotahi kakaho.
8 Katahi ia ka whanganga ano i te whakamahau o te kuwaha, te taha ki te whare, kotahi kakaho.
9 Katahi ia ka whanganga i te whakamahau o te kuwaha, e waru whatianga; me ona pou, e rua whatianga; na ko te whakamahau o te kuwaha e anga ana ki te whare.
10 Na, ko nga ruma o te kuwaha whaka te rawhiti, e toru i tenei taha, e toru i tera taha; ko nga mea e toru, kotahi tonu te nui: kotahi tonu ano te nui o nga pou i tenei taha, i tera taha.
11 I whanganga ano ia i te whanui o te tapokoranga i te kuwaha, kotahi tekau whatianga; ko te roa o te kuwaha kotahi, tekau ma toru whatianga.
12 Na, ko te taha ki mua i nga ruma, kotahi te whatianga; ko tetahi atu taha hoki kotahi te whatianga; na, ko nga ruma, e ono whatianga o tenei taha, e ono whatianga o tera taha.
13 I whanganga ano ia i te kuwaha i te tuanui o tetahi ruma, tae noa ki te tuanui o tetahi, e rua tekau ma rima whatianga te whanui; ko tetahi tatau anga tonu mai ki tetahi tatau.
14 A i hanga e ia etahi pou, e ono tekau whatianga; a ko te marae i tae atu ki te pou, ko te kuwaha i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha.
15 Na, ko te takiwa i te aronga o te kuwaha e tapoko ai, tae noa ki te aronga o te whakamahau o to roto kuwaha, e rima tekau whatianga.
16 Na he matapihi kuiti o nga ruma, o nga pou ano i roto i te kuwaha a taka noa, o nga haurangi ano; he matapihi ano o nga taha ki roto a taka noa; he nikau ano kei tenei pou, kei tenei pou.
17 Katahi ahau ka kawea e ia ki to waho marae, na, he ruma i reira, he papa kohatu hoki, he mea i hanga mo te marae a taka noa: e toru tekau nga ruma i runga i te papa kohatu.
18 Na, ko te papa kohatu i te taha o nga kuwaha i te ritenga atu o te taha roa o nga kuwaha, ko to raro papa tera.
19 Katahi ia ka whanganga i te whanui i te aronga o to raro kuwaha tae noa ki te aronga o to roto marae, ki te taha ki waho, kotahi rau whatianga, ki te rawhiti, ki te raki.
20 Na, ko te kuwaha o to waho marae e anga ana ki te raki, i whanganga ano e ia te roa, te whanui.
21 Na, ko ona ruma, e toru i tenei taha, e toru i tera taha, ko ona pou, ko ona haurangi rite tonu te nui ki to te kuwaha tuatahi; e rima tekau whatianga te roa, e rua tekau ma rima whatianga te whanui.
22 Na, ko nga matapihi, ko nga haurangi, ko nga nikau, he mea whakarite ki te nui o te kuwaha e anga ana ki te rawhiti, e whitu ano nga kaupae i pikitia ai a reira; i mua hoki i aua ruma nga haurangi.
23 Na he kuwaha ano kei to roto marae e anga ana ki tera kuwaha ki te raki, ki te rawhiti hoki; i whanganga ano ia i te takiwa o tetahi kuwaha, o ano ia i te takiwa o tetahi kuwaha, o tetahi kuwaha, kotahi rau whatianga.
24 Na ka arahina ahau e ia ki te tonga, na, ko tetahi kuwaha ki te tonga. Na ka whanganga ia ki ona pou me ona haurangi, rite tonu ki enei kua oti nei te whanganga.
25 He matapihi ano o reira, i ona haurangi ano hoki a taka noa, he pera me era matapihi; e rima tekau nga whatianga te roa, e rua tekau ma rima whatianga te whanui.
26 E whitu nga kaupae i pikitia ai; i mua ko nga haurangi; he nikau ano ona, ko tetahi i tetahi taha, ko tetahi i tetahi taha i runga i ona pou.
27 Na he kuwaha ano kei to roto marae i te taha ki te tonga; i whanganga ano ia i te takiwa o tetahi kuwaha, o tetahi kuwaha ki te tonga, kotahi rau whatianga.
28 Katahi ka kawea ahau e ia na te kuwaha ki te tonga ki to roto marae, a whanganga ana ia i te kuwaha ki te tonga, rite tonu ki enei kua oti nei te whanganga.
29 Me nga ruma ano o reira, me nga pou, me ona haurangi, rite tonu ki enei kua oti nei te whanganga; he matapihi ano o reira, o ona haurangi ano a taka noa: e rima tekau whatianga te roa, e rua tekau ma rima whatianga te whanui.
30 Na, ko nga haurangi a taka noa, e rua tekau ma rima whatianga te roa, e rima whatianga te whanui.
31 A i anga ona haurangi ki to waho marae; he nikau ano o ona pou: e waru ano nga kaupae o te pikitanga ki reira.
32 I kawea ano ahau e ia ki to roto marae whaka te rawhiti, a whanganga ana ia i te kuwaha: rite tonu ki enei kua oti nei te whanganga.
33 Na, ko nga ruma o reira, ko ona pou, ko ona haurangi, rite tonu ki enei kua oti nei te whanganga: he matapihi ano o reira, o nga haurangi ano a taka noa; e rima tekau whatianga te roa, e rua tekau ma rima whatianga te whanui.
34 I anga ano ona haurangi ki to waho marae, he nikau ano kei ona pou i tenei taha, i tera taha; e waru nga kaupae o te pikitanga ki reira.
35 I kawea ano ahau e ia ki te kuwaha ki te raki, a whanganga ana ia; rite tonu ki enei kua oti nei te whanganga;
36 Ko ona ruma, ko ona pou, ko ona haurangi, me ona matapihi ano a taka noa: e rima tekau whatianga te roa, e rua tekau marima whatianga te whanui.
37 A ko ona pou kei te taha ki to waho marae; he nikau ano kei ona pou i tenei taha, i tera taha: e waru nga kaupae o te pikitanga ki reira.
38 Na tera tetahi ruma, he tapokoranga ano ki reira, i nga pou o nga kuwaha; ko te wahi tera i horoia ai te tahunga tinana.
39 Na i te whakamahau o te kuwaha e rua nga tepu i tenei taha, e rua nga tepu i tera taha, hei patunga ki runga mo te tahunga tinana, mo te whakahere hara, mo te whakahere mo te he.
40 I te taha ano ki waho e rua nga tepu i te wahi e piki ai ki te tapokoranga o te kuwaha ki te raki; e rua nga tepu i tera taha, i te whakamahau o te kuwaha.
41 E wha nga tepu i tenei taha, e wha ano nga tepu i tera taha, i te taha o te kuwaha; e waru nga tepu i patua ai nga patunga tapu.
42 Na he kohatu tarai nga tepu e wha mo te tahunga tinana, kotahi whatianga me te hawhe te roa, kotahi whatianga me te hawhe te whanui, kotahi whatianga te tiketike; ko te takotoranga ena o nga patu mo te tahunga tinana, mo te patunga tapu.
43 Kua oti ano etahi matau te whakanoho ki te taha ki roto a taka noa, kotahi ringa te whanui: a i runga i nga tepu ko te kikokiko o te whakahere.
44 Na i waho o to roto kuwaha ko nga ruma o nga kaiwaiata i to roto marae, ara i tera ki te taha o te kuwaha o te raki. I anga aua ruma ki te tonga: i anga ano ki te raki tetahi i te taha o te kuwaha ki te rawhiti.
45 Na ka mea ia ki ahau, Ko tenei ruma e anga nei ki te tonga, mo nga tohunga, mo nga kaitiaki o nga mea o te whare.
46 Na, ko te ruma e anga nei ki te raki, mo nga tohunga, mo nga kaitiaki o nga mea o te aata: ko nga tama enei a Haroko i roto i nga tama a Riwai, e whakatata ana ki a Ihowa ki te minita ki a ia.
47 Na ka whanganga ia i te marae, kotahi rau whatianga te roa, kotahi rau whatianga te whanui, he tapawha; a ko te aata hoki i mua i te whare.
48 Katahi ahau ka kawea e ia ki te whakamahau o te whare: kei te whanganga ia i tenei pou, i tenei pou o te whakamahau, e rima whatianga i tenei taha, e rima whatianga i tera taha: na, ko te whanui o te kuwaha, e toru whatianga i tenei taha, e toru whatianga i tera taha.
49 Ko te roa o te whakamahau e rua tekau whatianga; ko te whanui kotahi tekau ma tahi whatianga; ara ma nga kaupae i pikitia atu ai a reira: a he pou ano era i te taha o nga pou, ko tetahi i tenei taha, ko tetahi i tera taha.
41 Na ka kawea ahau e ia ki te temepara; kei te whanganga i nga pou, e ono whatianga te whanui i tetahi taha, e ono whatianga te whanui i tetahi taha, ko te whanui tera o te tapenakara.
2 Na, ko te whanui o te tatau, kotahi tekau whatianga; ko nga taha o te tatau, e rima nga whatianga i tetahi taha, e rima nga whatianga i tetahi taha; i whanganga ano ia i to reira roa, e wha tekau whatianga; ko te whanui e rua tekau whatianga.
3 Katahi ia ka haere ki roto, kei te whanganga i te pou o te kuwaha, e rua whatianga; ko te kuwaha, e ono whatianga; ko te whanui o te kuwaha e whitu whatianga.
4 Heoi whanganga ana ia i to reira roa, e rua tekau whatianga te whanui, e rua tekau whatianga i mua i te temepara. Na ka mea ia ki ahau, Ko te wahi tino tapu tenei.
5 Muri iho ka whanganga ia i te taha o te whare, e ono whatianga; me te whanui ano i nga ruma o te taha, e wha whatianga, i nga taha o te whare a taka noa.
6 Na e toru nga whakapaparanga o nga ruma i te taha, ko tetahi i runga i tetahi, e toru tekau ki te rarangi, i ngoto ki te pakitara, ki to te whare, hei ruma mo nga taha a taka noa, kia u ai ki reira, kahore ia he unga i te pakitara o te whare.
7 Na ka nui haere a whawhe noa whakarunga nga ruma o te taha; i haere tonu hoki whakarunga te karapotinga o te whare a taka noa: no reira haere tonu te whanui o te whare whakarunga, nui haere atu ana i to raro rawa tae noa ki to runga, ma waenga.
8 I kite ano ahau i te tiketike o te whare a whawhe noa: ko nga turanga o nga ruma, kotahi tino kakaho e ono nei ona whatianga nui.
9 Ko te matotoru o te pakitara, o tera mo nga ruma i nga taha, i waho, e rima whatianga; a ko te mea i mahue ko te wahi o nga ruma o te taha, no te whare era.
10 Na he takiwa kei waenganui i nga ruma, e rua tekau whatianga, i nga taha katoa o te whare a taka noa.
11 A i anga nga tatau o nga ruma ki te wahi i mahue, ko tetahi tatau ki te raki, ko tetahi tatau ki te tonga: a ko te whanui o te wahi i mahue e rima whatianga a tawhio noa.
12 Na, ko te whare i mua i te wahi motuhake i te pito ki te hauauru, e whitu tekau whatianga te whanui: a e rima whatianga te matotoru o te pakitara o taua whare a tawhio noa; tona roa e iwa tekau whatianga.
13 Heoi ka whanganga ia i te whare, kotahi rau whatianga te roa; me te wahi motuhake, me taua whare, me ona taha, kotahi rau whatianga te roa;
14 Me te whanui o te aroaro o te whare, o te wahi motuhake ano whaka te rawhiti, kotahi rau whatianga.
15 I whanganga ano ia i te roa o te whare i te ritenga mai o te wahi motuhake, i muri hoki tera i tenei; me ona ara i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, kotahi rau whatianga; me te temepara i roto, me nga whakamahau o te marae;
16 Ko nga pou tatau, ko nga matapihi kuiti, me nga ara i nga whakapaparanga e toru a taka noa i te ritenga atu o te tatau, he mea paparua ki te rakau a taka noa, he mea pera ano i te whenua a tae noa ki nga hatapihi; he mea hipoki ano nga matapihi;
17 Tae noa ki te wahi i runga ake i te tatau, ki te whare i roto, ki to waho, i te pakitara katoa a tawhio noa, i roto, i waho, he mea whanganga.
18 I mahia ano ki reira he kerupima, he nikau; he nikau i te takiwa o tetahi kerupa, o tetahi kerupa, e rua hoki nga mata o te kerupa kotahi.
19 I anga te mata tangata ki te nikau i tetahi taha, te mata o te raiona ki te nikau i tetahi taha; i peratia te mahinga puta noa i te whare, a tawhio noa.
20 I te whenua a tae noa ki runga ake i te tatau i hanga he kerupima, he nikau, he penei te pakitara o te temepara.
21 He tapawha nga pou o te temepara; na, ko te aronga mai o te wahi tapu, ko te ahua, rite tonu ki te ahua o te temepara.
22 Ko te aata he rakau, e toru whatianga te tiketike, a ko te roa e rua whatianga; na, ko nga koki, ko tona roanga, ko ona pakitara, he rakau. Na ko tana kianga mai ki ahau, Ko te tepu tenei i te aroaro o Ihowa.
23 A e rua nga tatau o te temepara, o te wahi tapu.
24 Ko nga tatau he aparua, huri ai nga apa; e rua nga apa mo tetahi o nga tatau, e rua nga apa mo tetahi.
25 I mahia ano ki aua tatau o te temepara etahi kerupima me etahi nikau, he mea rite tonu ki era i mahia ki nga pakitara; he papa matotoru hoki i te aronga o te whakamahau i te taha ki waho.
26 A he matapihi kuiti, he nikau hoki, i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, i nga taha hoki o te whakamahau: koia era, ko nga ruma o te taha o te whare, me nga papa matotoru hoki.
Ezekiel 39-41
New International Version
Ezekiel 39-41
New International Version
39 “Son of man, prophesy against Gog(A) and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Gog, chief prince of[a] Meshek(B) and Tubal.(C) 2 I will turn you around and drag you along. I will bring you from the far north(D) and send you against the mountains of Israel.(E) 3 Then I will strike your bow(F) from your left hand and make your arrows(G) drop from your right hand. 4 On the mountains of Israel you will fall, you and all your troops and the nations with you. I will give you as food to all kinds of carrion birds(H) and to the wild animals.(I) 5 You will fall in the open field, for I have spoken, declares the Sovereign Lord.(J) 6 I will send fire(K) on Magog(L) and on those who live in safety in the coastlands,(M) and they will know(N) that I am the Lord.
7 “‘I will make known my holy name among my people Israel. I will no longer let my holy name be profaned,(O) and the nations will know(P) that I the Lord am the Holy One in Israel.(Q) 8 It is coming! It will surely take place, declares the Sovereign Lord. This is the day(R) I have spoken of.
9 “‘Then those who live in the towns of Israel will go out and use the weapons for fuel and burn them up—the small and large shields, the bows and arrows,(S) the war clubs and spears. For seven years they will use them for fuel.(T) 10 They will not need to gather wood from the fields or cut it from the forests, because they will use the weapons for fuel. And they will plunder(U) those who plundered them and loot those who looted them, declares the Sovereign Lord.(V)
11 “‘On that day I will give Gog a burial place in Israel, in the valley of those who travel east of the Sea. It will block the way of travelers, because Gog and all his hordes will be buried(W) there. So it will be called the Valley of Hamon Gog.[b](X)
12 “‘For seven months the Israelites will be burying them in order to cleanse the land.(Y) 13 All the people of the land will bury them, and the day I display my glory(Z) will be a memorable day for them, declares the Sovereign Lord. 14 People will be continually employed in cleansing the land. They will spread out across the land and, along with others, they will bury any bodies that are lying on the ground.
“‘After the seven months they will carry out a more detailed search. 15 As they go through the land, anyone who sees a human bone will leave a marker beside it until the gravediggers bury it in the Valley of Hamon Gog, 16 near a town called Hamonah.[c] And so they will cleanse the land.’
17 “Son of man, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Call out to every kind of bird(AA) and all the wild animals: ‘Assemble and come together from all around to the sacrifice I am preparing for you, the great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel. There you will eat flesh and drink blood.(AB) 18 You will eat the flesh of mighty men and drink the blood of the princes of the earth as if they were rams and lambs, goats and bulls—all of them fattened animals from Bashan.(AC) 19 At the sacrifice(AD) I am preparing for you, you will eat fat till you are glutted and drink blood till you are drunk. 20 At my table you will eat your fill of horses and riders, mighty men and soldiers of every kind,’ declares the Sovereign Lord.(AE)
21 “I will display my glory among the nations, and all the nations will see the punishment I inflict and the hand I lay on them.(AF) 22 From that day forward the people of Israel will know that I am the Lord their God. 23 And the nations will know that the people of Israel went into exile for their sin, because they were unfaithful to me. So I hid my face from them and handed them over to their enemies, and they all fell by the sword.(AG) 24 I dealt with them according to their uncleanness and their offenses, and I hid my face from them.(AH)
25 “Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will now restore the fortunes of Jacob[d](AI) and will have compassion(AJ) on all the people of Israel, and I will be zealous for my holy name.(AK) 26 They will forget their shame and all the unfaithfulness they showed toward me when they lived in safety(AL) in their land with no one to make them afraid.(AM) 27 When I have brought them back from the nations and have gathered them from the countries of their enemies, I will be proved holy through them in the sight of many nations.(AN) 28 Then they will know that I am the Lord their God, for though I sent them into exile among the nations, I will gather them(AO) to their own land, not leaving any behind.(AP) 29 I will no longer hide my face(AQ) from them, for I will pour out my Spirit(AR) on the people of Israel, declares the Sovereign Lord.(AS)”

40 In the twenty-fifth year of our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth of the month, in the fourteenth year after the fall of the city(AT)—on that very day the hand of the Lord was on me(AU) and he took me there. 2 In visions(AV) of God he took me to the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain,(AW) on whose south side were some buildings that looked like a city. 3 He took me there, and I saw a man whose appearance was like bronze;(AX) he was standing in the gateway with a linen cord and a measuring rod(AY) in his hand. 4 The man said to me, “Son of man, look carefully and listen closely and pay attention to everything I am going to show you,(AZ) for that is why you have been brought here. Tell(BA) the people of Israel everything you see.(BB)”
The East Gate to the Outer Court
5 I saw a wall completely surrounding the temple area. The length of the measuring rod in the man’s hand was six long cubits,[e] each of which was a cubit and a handbreadth. He measured(BC) the wall; it was one measuring rod thick and one rod high.
6 Then he went to the east gate.(BD) He climbed its steps and measured the threshold of the gate; it was one rod deep. 7 The alcoves(BE) for the guards were one rod long and one rod wide, and the projecting walls between the alcoves were five cubits[f] thick. And the threshold of the gate next to the portico facing the temple was one rod deep.
8 Then he measured the portico of the gateway; 9 it[g] was eight cubits[h] deep and its jambs were two cubits[i] thick. The portico of the gateway faced the temple.
10 Inside the east gate were three alcoves on each side; the three had the same measurements, and the faces of the projecting walls on each side had the same measurements. 11 Then he measured the width of the entrance of the gateway; it was ten cubits and its length was thirteen cubits.[j] 12 In front of each alcove was a wall one cubit high, and the alcoves were six cubits square. 13 Then he measured the gateway from the top of the rear wall of one alcove to the top of the opposite one; the distance was twenty-five cubits[k] from one parapet opening to the opposite one. 14 He measured along the faces of the projecting walls all around the inside of the gateway—sixty cubits.[l] The measurement was up to the portico[m] facing the courtyard.[n](BF) 15 The distance from the entrance of the gateway to the far end of its portico was fifty cubits.[o] 16 The alcoves and the projecting walls inside the gateway were surmounted by narrow parapet openings all around, as was the portico; the openings all around faced inward. The faces of the projecting walls were decorated with palm trees.(BG)
The Outer Court
17 Then he brought me into the outer court.(BH) There I saw some rooms and a pavement that had been constructed all around the court; there were thirty rooms(BI) along the pavement.(BJ) 18 It abutted the sides of the gateways and was as wide as they were long; this was the lower pavement. 19 Then he measured the distance from the inside of the lower gateway to the outside of the inner court;(BK) it was a hundred cubits[p](BL) on the east side as well as on the north.
The North Gate
20 Then he measured the length and width of the north gate, leading into the outer court. 21 Its alcoves(BM)—three on each side—its projecting walls and its portico(BN) had the same measurements as those of the first gateway. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide. 22 Its openings, its portico(BO) and its palm tree decorations had the same measurements as those of the gate facing east. Seven steps led up to it, with its portico opposite them.(BP) 23 There was a gate to the inner court facing the north gate, just as there was on the east. He measured from one gate to the opposite one; it was a hundred cubits.(BQ)
The South Gate
24 Then he led me to the south side and I saw the south gate. He measured its jambs and its portico, and they had the same measurements(BR) as the others. 25 The gateway and its portico had narrow openings all around, like the openings of the others. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.(BS) 26 Seven steps led up to it, with its portico opposite them; it had palm tree decorations on the faces of the projecting walls on each side.(BT) 27 The inner court(BU) also had a gate facing south, and he measured from this gate to the outer gate on the south side; it was a hundred cubits.(BV)
The Gates to the Inner Court
28 Then he brought me into the inner court through the south gate, and he measured the south gate; it had the same measurements(BW) as the others. 29 Its alcoves,(BX) its projecting walls and its portico had the same measurements as the others. The gateway and its portico had openings all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.(BY) 30 (The porticoes(BZ) of the gateways around the inner court were twenty-five cubits wide and five cubits deep.) 31 Its portico(CA) faced the outer court; palm trees decorated its jambs, and eight steps led up to it.(CB)
32 Then he brought me to the inner court on the east side, and he measured the gateway; it had the same measurements(CC) as the others. 33 Its alcoves,(CD) its projecting walls and its portico had the same measurements as the others. The gateway and its portico had openings all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide. 34 Its portico(CE) faced the outer court; palm trees decorated the jambs on either side, and eight steps led up to it.
35 Then he brought me to the north gate(CF) and measured it. It had the same measurements(CG) as the others, 36 as did its alcoves,(CH) its projecting walls and its portico, and it had openings all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide. 37 Its portico[q](CI) faced the outer court; palm trees decorated the jambs on either side, and eight steps led up to it.(CJ)
The Rooms for Preparing Sacrifices
38 A room with a doorway was by the portico in each of the inner gateways, where the burnt offerings(CK) were washed. 39 In the portico of the gateway were two tables on each side, on which the burnt offerings,(CL) sin offerings[r](CM) and guilt offerings(CN) were slaughtered.(CO) 40 By the outside wall of the portico of the gateway, near the steps at the entrance of the north gateway were two tables, and on the other side of the steps were two tables. 41 So there were four tables on one side of the gateway and four on the other—eight tables in all—on which the sacrifices were slaughtered. 42 There were also four tables of dressed stone(CP) for the burnt offerings, each a cubit and a half long, a cubit and a half wide and a cubit high.[s] On them were placed the utensils for slaughtering the burnt offerings and the other sacrifices.(CQ) 43 And double-pronged hooks, each a handbreadth[t] long, were attached to the wall all around. The tables were for the flesh of the offerings.
The Rooms for the Priests
44 Outside the inner gate, within the inner court, were two rooms, one[u] at the side of the north gate and facing south, and another at the side of the south[v] gate and facing north. 45 He said to me, “The room facing south is for the priests who guard the temple,(CR) 46 and the room facing north(CS) is for the priests who guard the altar.(CT) These are the sons of Zadok,(CU) who are the only Levites who may draw near to the Lord to minister before him.(CV)”
47 Then he measured the court: It was square—a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide. And the altar was in front of the temple.(CW)
The New Temple
48 He brought me to the portico of the temple(CX) and measured the jambs of the portico; they were five cubits wide on either side. The width of the entrance was fourteen cubits[w] and its projecting walls were[x] three cubits[y] wide on either side. 49 The portico(CY) was twenty cubits[z] wide, and twelve[aa] cubits[ab] from front to back. It was reached by a flight of stairs,[ac] and there were pillars(CZ) on each side of the jambs.
41 Then the man brought me to the main hall(DA) and measured the jambs; the width of the jambs was six cubits[ad] on each side.[ae] 2 The entrance was ten cubits[af] wide, and the projecting walls on each side of it were five cubits[ag] wide. He also measured the main hall; it was forty cubits long and twenty cubits wide.[ah](DB)
3 Then he went into the inner sanctuary and measured the jambs of the entrance; each was two cubits[ai] wide. The entrance was six cubits wide, and the projecting walls on each side of it were seven cubits[aj] wide. 4 And he measured the length of the inner sanctuary; it was twenty cubits, and its width was twenty cubits across the end of the main hall.(DC) He said to me, “This is the Most Holy Place.(DD)”
5 Then he measured the wall of the temple; it was six cubits thick, and each side room around the temple was four cubits[ak] wide. 6 The side rooms were on three levels, one above another, thirty(DE) on each level. There were ledges all around the wall of the temple to serve as supports for the side rooms, so that the supports were not inserted into the wall of the temple.(DF) 7 The side rooms all around the temple were wider at each successive level. The structure surrounding the temple was built in ascending stages, so that the rooms widened as one went upward. A stairway(DG) went up from the lowest floor to the top floor through the middle floor.
8 I saw that the temple had a raised base all around it, forming the foundation of the side rooms. It was the length of the rod, six long cubits. 9 The outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits thick. The open area between the side rooms of the temple 10 and the priests’ rooms was twenty cubits wide all around the temple. 11 There were entrances to the side rooms from the open area, one on the north and another on the south; and the base adjoining the open area was five cubits wide all around.
12 The building facing the temple courtyard on the west side was seventy cubits[al] wide. The wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length was ninety cubits.[am]
13 Then he measured the temple; it was a hundred cubits[an] long, and the temple courtyard and the building with its walls were also a hundred cubits long. 14 The width of the temple courtyard on the east, including the front of the temple, was a hundred cubits.(DH)
15 Then he measured the length of the building facing the courtyard at the rear of the temple, including its galleries(DI) on each side; it was a hundred cubits.
The main hall, the inner sanctuary and the portico facing the court, 16 as well as the thresholds and the narrow windows(DJ) and galleries around the three of them—everything beyond and including the threshold was covered with wood. The floor, the wall up to the windows, and the windows were covered.(DK) 17 In the space above the outside of the entrance to the inner sanctuary and on the walls at regular intervals all around the inner and outer sanctuary 18 were carved(DL) cherubim(DM) and palm trees.(DN) Palm trees alternated with cherubim. Each cherub had two faces:(DO) 19 the face of a human being toward the palm tree on one side and the face of a lion toward the palm tree on the other. They were carved all around the whole temple.(DP) 20 From the floor to the area above the entrance, cherubim and palm trees were carved on the wall of the main hall.
21 The main hall(DQ) had a rectangular doorframe, and the one at the front of the Most Holy Place was similar. 22 There was a wooden altar(DR) three cubits[ao] high and two cubits square[ap]; its corners, its base[aq] and its sides were of wood. The man said to me, “This is the table(DS) that is before the Lord.” 23 Both the main hall(DT) and the Most Holy Place had double doors.(DU) 24 Each door had two leaves—two hinged leaves(DV) for each door. 25 And on the doors of the main hall were carved cherubim and palm trees like those carved on the walls, and there was a wooden overhang on the front of the portico. 26 On the sidewalls of the portico were narrow windows with palm trees carved on each side. The side rooms of the temple also had overhangs.(DW)
