Ezekiel 43
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Bumalik sa Templo ang Dakilang Presensya ng Dios
43 Pagkatapos, dinala na naman ako ng tao sa daanan sa gawing silangan. 2 At doon ay nakita ko na dumarating mula sa silangan ang makapangyarihang presensya ng Dios ng Israel. Ang tunog ng pagdating niya ay parang rumaragasang tubig at ang lupain ay lumiliwanag dahil sa kanyang dakilang presensya. 3 Ang pangitaing ito ay katulad din ng pangitaing nakita ko noong winasak ng Dios ang lungsod ng Jerusalem, at tulad din ng pangitaing nakita ko sa pampang ng Ilog ng Kebar. Nang makita ko ito, nagpatirapa ako sa lupa.
4 Pagkatapos, pumasok ang dakilang presensya ng Panginoon sa templo. Doon siya dumaan sa pintuan sa gawing silangan. 5 Itinayo ako ng Espiritu at dinala sa bakuran sa loob, at nakita ko ang buong templo na nilukuban ng makapangyarihang presensya ng Panginoon. 6 Habang nakatayo ang tao sa tabi ko, may narinig akong tinig mula sa templo. 7 Ang sinabi sa akin, “Anak ng tao, ito ang aking trono, at ang patungan ng aking paa. Dito ako mananahan kasama ng mga Israelita magpakailanman. Hindi na muling lalapastanganin ng mga Israelita maging ng kanilang mga hari ang aking pangalan, sa pamamagitan ng pagsamba sa mga dios-diosan[a], o sa mga monumento ng namatay nilang mga hari. 8 Noong una, nagtayo sila ng mga altar para sa mga dios-diosan nila malapit sa altar ko at pader lang ang pagitan. Dinungisan nila ang banal kong pangalan sa pamamagitan ng kasuklam-suklam na gawang iyon. Kaya nilipol ko sila. 9 Ngayoʼy kinakailangan na silang tumigil sa pagsamba sa mga dios-diosan at sa mga monumento ng namatay nilang mga hari. Sa gayon, mananahan akong kasama nila magpakailanman.”
10 Sinabi pa ng tinig, “Anak ng tao, ilarawan mo sa mga mamamayan ng Israel ang templo na ipinakita ko sa iyo. Sabihin mo sa kanila ang anyo nito upang mapahiya sila dahil sa mga kasalanan nila. 11 Kapag napahiya na sila sa lahat ng ginawa nila, ilarawan mo sa kanila kung paano gagawin ito, ang mga daanan, pinto, at ang buong anyo ng gusali. Isulat mo ang mga tuntunin sa pagpapagawa nito habang nakatingin sila para masunod nila ito nang mabuti. 12 At ito ang pangunahing kautusan tungkol sa templo: Ituring ninyong banal ang lahat ng lugar sa paligid ng bundok doon sa itaas na pagtatayuan ng templo.
Ang Altar
13 “Ito ang sukat ng altar ayon sa umiiral na panukat: Sa paligid ng altar ay gagawa kayo ng parang kanal na 20 pulgada ang luwang at 20 pulgada rin ang lalim at may sinepa sa paligid na anim na pulgada ang kapal. 14-17 May tatlong palapag ang altar na parisukat lahat. Ang ibabang palapag ay 27 talampakan ang haba at luwang. Ang taas naman ay tatlong talampakan. Ang gitnang palapag ay 24 na talampakan ang haba at luwang at pitong talampakan naman ang taas. May kanal sa paligid nito na 20 pulgada ang lalim, at may sinepa sa palibot na sampung pulgada ang luwang. Ang palapag sa itaas ay 20 talampakan ang haba at luwang at pitong talampakan naman ang taas. Dito sinusunog ang mga handog. Ang apat na sulok ng altar ay may parang mga sungay ng hayop. Ang hagdan ng altar ay nasa gawing silangan.”
18 Sinabi pa ng tinig sa akin, “Anak ng tao, ito ang sinasabi ng Panginoong Dios: Kapag nagawa na ang altar, italaga ninyo ito sa pamamagitan ng pag-aalay ng handog na sinusunog at pagwiwisik ng dugo ng hayop na inihandog. 19 Sa araw na iyon, ang mga paring naglilingkod sa akin na mga Levitang mula sa pamilya ni Zadok ay bibigyan ng isang batang toro na iaalay nila bilang handog sa paglilinis. 20 Kumuha ka ng dugo nito at ipahid mo sa apat na sungay na nasa sulok ng pangalawang palapag ng altar at sa sinepa nito. Sa ganitong paraan ay malilinis ang altar. 21 Pagkatapos, kunin mo ang batang toro na handog sa paglilinis, at sunugin mo sa lugar na pinagsusunugan sa labas ng templo. 22 Kinabukasan, maghandog ka ng lalaking kambing na walang kapintasan at ihandog mo sa paglilinis ng altar, katulad ng ginawa mo sa batang toro. 23 Pagkatapos, kumuha ka ng isang batang toro at isang tupa na walang kapintasan, 24 at ihandog mo sa Panginoon. Lalagyan ito ng asin ng mga pari bago nila ialay sa Panginoon bilang handog na sinusunog.
25 “Sa loob ng isang linggo, maghandog ka sa bawat araw ng isang lalaking kambing, isang toro at isang tupa na pawang walang kapintasan at ialay mo ito bilang handog sa paglilinis. 26 Sa ganitong paraan, malilinis ang altar at maaari nang gamitin pagkatapos. 27 At mula sa ikawalong araw, maghahandog na ang mga pari ng inyong mga handog na sinusunog at mga handog para sa mabuting relasyon.[b] At tatanggapin ko kayo. Ako, ang Panginoong Dios, ang nagsasabi nito.”

God’s Glory Returns to the Temple
43 Then the man brought me to the gate facing east,(A) 2 and I saw the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east. His voice was like the roar of rushing waters,(B) and the land was radiant with his glory.(C) 3 The vision I saw was like the vision I had seen when he[a] came to destroy the city and like the visions I had seen by the Kebar River, and I fell facedown. 4 The glory(D) of the Lord entered the temple through the gate facing east.(E) 5 Then the Spirit(F) lifted me up(G) and brought me into the inner court, and the glory(H) of the Lord filled the temple.(I)
6 While the man was standing beside me, I heard someone speaking to me from inside the temple. 7 He said: “Son of man, this is the place of my throne(J) and the place for the soles of my feet. This is where I will live among the Israelites forever. The people of Israel will never again defile(K) my holy name—neither they nor their kings—by their prostitution and the funeral offerings[b] for their kings at their death.[c](L) 8 When they placed their threshold next to my threshold and their doorposts beside my doorposts, with only a wall between me and them, they defiled my holy name by their detestable practices. So I destroyed them in my anger. 9 Now let them put away from me their prostitution and the funeral offerings for their kings, and I will live among them forever.(M)
10 “Son of man, describe the temple to the people of Israel, that they may be ashamed(N) of their sins. Let them consider its perfection, 11 and if they are ashamed of all they have done, make known to them the design of the temple—its arrangement, its exits and entrances—its whole design and all its regulations[d] and laws. Write these down before them so that they may be faithful to its design and follow all its regulations.(O)
12 “This is the law of the temple: All the surrounding area(P) on top of the mountain will be most holy.(Q) Such is the law of the temple.
The Great Altar Restored
13 “These are the measurements of the altar(R) in long cubits,[e] that cubit being a cubit and a handbreadth: Its gutter is a cubit deep and a cubit wide, with a rim of one span[f] around the edge. And this is the height of the altar: 14 From the gutter on the ground up to the lower ledge that goes around the altar it is two cubits high, and the ledge is a cubit wide.[g] From this lower ledge to the upper ledge that goes around the altar it is four cubits high, and that ledge is also a cubit wide.[h] 15 Above that, the altar hearth(S) is four cubits high, and four horns(T) project upward from the hearth. 16 The altar hearth is square, twelve cubits[i] long and twelve cubits wide.(U) 17 The upper ledge(V) also is square, fourteen cubits[j] long and fourteen cubits wide. All around the altar is a gutter of one cubit with a rim of half a cubit.[k] The steps(W) of the altar face east.(X)”
18 Then he said to me, “Son of man, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: These will be the regulations for sacrificing burnt offerings(Y) and splashing blood(Z) against the altar when it is built: 19 You are to give a young bull(AA) as a sin offering[l] to the Levitical priests of the family of Zadok,(AB) who come near(AC) to minister before me, declares the Sovereign Lord. 20 You are to take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar(AD) and on the four corners of the upper ledge(AE) and all around the rim, and so purify the altar(AF) and make atonement for it. 21 You are to take the bull for the sin offering and burn it in the designated part of the temple area outside the sanctuary.(AG)
22 “On the second day you are to offer a male goat without defect for a sin offering, and the altar is to be purified as it was purified with the bull. 23 When you have finished purifying it, you are to offer a young bull and a ram from the flock, both without defect.(AH) 24 You are to offer them before the Lord, and the priests are to sprinkle salt(AI) on them and sacrifice them as a burnt offering to the Lord.
25 “For seven days(AJ) you are to provide a male goat daily for a sin offering; you are also to provide a young bull and a ram from the flock, both without defect.(AK) 26 For seven days they are to make atonement for the altar and cleanse it; thus they will dedicate it. 27 At the end of these days, from the eighth day(AL) on, the priests are to present your burnt offerings(AM) and fellowship offerings(AN) on the altar. Then I will accept you, declares the Sovereign Lord.”

The Temple, the Lord’s Dwelling Place
43 Afterward he brought me to the gate, the gate (A)that faces toward the east. 2 (B)And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. (C)His voice was like the sound of many waters; (D)and the earth shone with His glory. 3 It was (E)like the appearance of the vision which I saw—like the vision which I saw when [a]I came (F)to destroy the city. The visions were like the vision which I saw (G)by the River Chebar; and I fell on my face. 4 (H)And the glory of the Lord came into the [b]temple by way of the gate which faces toward the east. 5 (I)The Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, (J)the glory of the Lord filled the [c]temple.
6 Then I heard Him speaking to me from the temple, while (K)a man stood beside me. 7 And He said to me, “Son of man, this is (L)the place of My throne and (M)the place of the soles of My feet, (N)where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever. (O)No more shall the house of Israel defile My holy name, they nor their kings, by their [d]harlotry or with (P)the carcasses of their kings on their high places. 8 (Q)When they set their threshold by My threshold, and their doorpost by My doorpost, with a wall between them and Me, they defiled My holy name by the abominations which they committed; therefore I have consumed them in My anger. 9 Now let them put their harlotry and the carcasses of their kings far away from Me, and I will dwell in their midst forever.
10 “Son of man, (R)describe the [e]temple to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern. 11 And if they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the design of the [f]temple and its arrangement, its exits and its entrances, its entire design and all its (S)ordinances, all its forms and all its laws. Write it down in their sight, so that they may keep its whole design and all its ordinances, and (T)perform them. 12 This is the law of the [g]temple: The whole area surrounding (U)the mountaintop is most holy. Behold, this is the law of the temple.
Dimensions of the Altar
13 “These are the measurements of the (V)altar in cubits (W)(the [h]cubit is one cubit and a handbreadth): the base one cubit high and one cubit wide, with a rim all around its edge of one span. This is the height of the altar: 14 from the base on the ground to the lower ledge, two cubits; the width of the ledge, one cubit; from the smaller ledge to the larger ledge, four cubits; and the width of the ledge, one cubit. 15 The altar hearth is four cubits high, with four (X)horns extending upward from the [i]hearth. 16 The altar hearth is twelve cubits long, twelve wide, (Y)square at its four corners; 17 the ledge, fourteen cubits long and fourteen wide on its four sides, with a rim of half a cubit around it; its base, one cubit all around; and (Z)its steps face toward the east.”
Consecrating the Altar
18 And He said to me, “Son of man, thus says the Lord God: ‘These are the ordinances for the altar on the day when it is made, for sacrificing (AA)burnt offerings on it, and for (AB)sprinkling blood on it. 19 You shall give (AC)a young bull for a sin offering to (AD)the priests, the Levites, who are of the seed of (AE)Zadok, who approach Me to minister to Me,’ says the Lord God. 20 ‘You shall take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar, on the four corners of the ledge, and on the rim around it; thus you shall cleanse it and make atonement for it. 21 Then you shall also take the bull of the sin offering, and (AF)burn it in the appointed place of the [j]temple, (AG)outside the sanctuary. 22 On the second day you shall offer a kid of the goats without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bull. 23 When you have finished cleansing it, you shall offer a young bull without blemish, and a ram from the flock without blemish. 24 When you offer them before the Lord, (AH)the priests shall throw salt on them, and they will offer them up as a burnt offering to the Lord. 25 Every day for (AI)seven days you shall prepare a goat for a sin offering; they shall also prepare a young bull and a ram from the flock, both without blemish. 26 Seven days they shall make atonement for the altar and purify it, and so [k]consecrate [l]it. 27 (AJ)When these days are over it shall be, on the eighth day and thereafter, that the priests shall offer your burnt offerings and your peace offerings on the altar; and I will (AK)accept you,’ says the Lord God.”

43 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 a noise 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 the Lord came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.
5 So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house.
6 And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood by me.
7 And he said unto me, Son of man, 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 my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places.
8 In their setting of their threshold by my thresholds, and their post by my posts, and the wall between me and them, they have even defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger.
9 Now let them put away their whoredom, and the carcases of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.
10 Thou son of man, shew 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, shew them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in 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 after the cubits: The cubit is a cubit and an hand breadth; even the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about shall be a span: and this shall be the higher place of the altar.
14 And from the bottom upon the ground even to the lower settle shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser settle even to the greater settle shall be four cubits, and the breadth one cubit.
15 So the altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar and upward shall be four horns.
16 And the altar shall be twelve cubits long, twelve broad, square in the four squares thereof.
17 And the settle shall be fourteen cubits long and fourteen broad in the four squares thereof; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and the bottom thereof shall be a cubit about; and his stairs shall look toward the east.
18 And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord God; 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 And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that be of the seed of Zadok, which approach unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord God, 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 settle, and upon the border round about: thus shalt thou cleanse and purge it.
21 Thou shalt take the bullock also of the sin offering, and he shall burn it in the appointed place of the house, without the sanctuary.
22 And on the second day thou shalt offer a kid of the goats 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 offer them before the Lord, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering unto the Lord.
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 purge the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate themselves.
27 And when these days are expired, it shall be, that upon the eighth day, and so forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings upon the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord God.
