Daarta Weyn Ee Cusub Iyo Goobteeda

40 Sannaddii shan iyo labaatanaad ee maxaabiisnimadayada, sannadda bilowgeedii, bisha maalinteedii tobnaad, sannaddii afar iyo tobnaad markii magaalada la qabsaday dabadeed, isla maalintaas qudheeda waxaa i dul saarnayd gacantii Rabbiga, oo halkaas buu i keenay. Waxyaalihii Ilaah i tusay wuxuu igu geeyey dalkii reer binu Israa'iil, oo wuxuu i saaray buur aad u dheer, taasoo dhankeeda koonfureed ay wax magaalo dhismeheed u eg ku yiilleen. Oo isagu halkaasuu i geeyey, oo bal eeg, waxaa meeshaas joogay nin naxaas u eg, oo gacanta ku haysta xadhig laga sameeyey geed linen la yidhaahdo, iyo cawsduur wax lagu qiyaaso, oo iridduu soo istaagay. Oo ninkii wuxuu igu yidhi, Wiilka Aadamow, waxyaalaha aan ku tusi doono oo dhan indhaha ku fiiri, oo dhegaha ku maqal, oo qalbiga geli, waayo, waxaa halkan laguu keenay inaan waxyaalahan ku tuso. Oo wax alla wixii aad aragtid oo dhanba reer binu Israa'iil u sheeg.

Iridda Bari Ee Bannaanka

Oo bal eeg, daarta dibaddeeda oo dhan waxaa ku wareegsanaa derbi, oo ninka gacantiisana waxaa ku jiray cawsduur wax lagu qiyaaso oo dhererkiisu yahay lix dhudhun, oo dhudhun kastaaba yahay dhudhun iyo taako. Markaasuu daarta ballaadhkeedii qiyaasay oo cawsduur buu ahaa, oo sarajooggeediina wuu qiyaasay oo cawsduur buu ahaa. Oo wuxuu yimid iriddii xagga bari u sii jeedday, oo jaranjarradeeduu fuulay, oo wuxuu qiyaasay iridda marinkeedii, oo ballaadhkiisu wuxuu ahaa cawsduur, oo iridda kale marinkeediina ballaadhkiisu wuxuu ahaa cawsduur. Oo qollad kastaba dhererkeedu wuxuu ahaa cawsduur, oo ballaadhkeeduna wuxuu ahaa cawsduur, oo qolladahana waxaa u dhexeeyey shan dhudhun, oo marinka iridda oo balbalada iridda u dhowayd dhankiisa guduhu wuxuu ahaa cawsduur. Haddana wuxuu qiyaasay iriddii balbaladeedii oo daarta u jeedday, waxayna ahayd cawsduur. Oo haddana wuxuu qiyaasay balbaladii iridda, waxayna ahayd siddeed dhudhun, tiirarkeeduna waxay ahaayeen laba dhudhun, oo iridda balbaladeeduna daartay u jeedday. 10 Oo iridda xagga bari qolladeheedana waxay ahaayeen saddex dhinac ku taal iyo saddex dhinaca kale ku taal, oo saddexdooduba isku qiyaas bay ahaayeen, oo tiirarkuna dhankan isku qiyaas bay ku lahaayeen oo dhanka kalena isku qiyaas bay ku lahaayeen. 11 Oo haddana wuxuu qiyaasay kadinkii iridda ballaadhkiisii, wuxuuna ahaa toban dhudhun, oo iridda dhererkeeduna wuxuu ahaa saddex iyo toban dhudhun. 12 Oo qolladaha darafkii ka horreeyey dhinaciisuna wuxuu ahaa dhudhun oo darafkii dhinaciisa kalena wuxuu ahaa dhudhun, oo qolladaha dhinacooduna wuxuu ahaa lix dhudhun oo dhinaca kalena wuxuu ahaa lix dhudhun. 13 Oo haddana iridda qollad saqafkeed ilaa qollad kale saqafkeed ayuu qiyaasay, oo ballaadhkuna wuxuu ahaa shan iyo labaatan dhudhun albaab ilaa albaab. 14 Oo haddana wuxuu qiyaasay tiirarkii oo ahaa lixdan dhudhun, kuwaas oo gaadhay tiirkii barxaddii iridda ku wareegsanayd. 15 Oo kadinka iridda laga soo galo hortiisa iyo ilaa barxadda iridda hoose inta u dhaxaysaa waxay ahayd konton dhudhun. 16 Oo daaqado cidhiidhi ah baa ku jiray qolladaha iyo tiirarkooda iridda hoose ku wareegsan iyo meelaha dedan, oo sidaas oo kale daaqaduhu xagga gudaha way ka wareegsanaayeen, oo tiir kastana waxaa lagu xardhay geedo timireed.

Barxadda Dibadda

17 Markaasuu barxaddii dibadda i geeyey, oo bal eeg, waxaa ku yiil qollado iyo dhul sallax ah oo barxadda ku wareegsan loo sameeyey. Soddon qolladood ayaa dhulka sallaxa ah ku tiil. 18 Oo dhulka sallaxa ah oo irdaha dhinacooda ku yiil oo irdaha ka soo hor jeeday wuxuu ahaa dhulka sallaxa ah oo hoose. 19 Markaasuu qiyaasay ballaadhkii iridda hoose horteeda iyo tan iyo barxadda hoose horteeda dibadda ah, xagga bari iyo xagga woqooyi, oo wuxuu ahaa boqol dhudhun.

Iridda Woqooyi

20 Oo barxaddii dibadda iriddeedii xagga woqooyi u sii jeeddayna wuxuu qiyaasay dhererkeedii iyo ballaadhkeediiba. 21 Oo qolladaheeduna waxay ahaayeen saddex dhinac ku taal iyo saddex dhinaca kale ku taal, oo tiirarkooda iyo meelahooda dedan waxay la qiyaas ahaayeen iridda kowaad. Dhererkoodu wuxuu ahaa konton dhudhun, oo ballaadhkooduna wuxuu ahaa shan iyo labaatan dhudhun. 22 Oo daaqadahooda, iyo meelahooda dedan, iyo geedahooda timireedba waxay la qiyaas wada ahaayeen qiyaastii iriddii xagga bari u sii jeedday, oo waxaa loo fuulay jaranjarro toddoba tallaabo ah, oo meelahooda dedanna way ku hor yiilleen. 23 Oo barxadda hoose iriddeeduna waxay ka soo hor jeedday iriddii kale oo xagga woqooyi iyo xagga bari jirtay, oo irid ilaa iridda kale ayuu qiyaasay, waxayna ahayd boqol dhudhun.

Iridda Koonfureed

24 Oo haddana wuxuu i geeyey xaggii koonfureed, oo bal eeg, waxaa ku tiil irid xagga koonfureed u sii jeedda, oo tiirarkeedii iyo meelaheedii dednaa wuxuu u qiyaasay sidii ay qiyaastaasu ahayd oo kale. 25 Oo iyada iyo meelaheeda dedan oo ku wareegsanuba waxay lahaayeen daaqado, oo waxay u ekaayeen daaqadahaas kale; dhererku wuxuu ahaa konton dhudhun oo ballaadhkuna wuxuu ahaa shan iyo labaatan dhudhun. 26 Oo waxay lahayd jaranjarro toddoba tallaabo ah oo loo fuulo, oo meelahooda dedanna way ku hor yiilleen, oo waxay lahayd geedo timireed oo mid dhinacan kaga yaal, midna dhinacaas kaga yaal, oo tiirarkeeda ku xardhan. 27 Oo barxadda hoosena waxaa ku dhex yiil irid xagga koonfureed u sii jeedday, oo irid ilaa iriddeeda kale ayuu xagga koonfureed u qiyaasay, waxayna ahayd boqol dhudhun.

Irdaha Barxaddii Dhexe

28 Markaasuu barxaddii hoose oo iridda koonfureed ku ag tiil i geeyey, oo iriddii koonfureedna sida qiyaastaas oo kaluu u qiyaasay. 29 Oo qolladaheedii, iyo tiirarkeedii, iyo meelaheedii dednaaba sidaas oo kaluu u qiyaasay, oo iyada, iyo meelaheeda dedan oo ku wareegsanuba waxay lahaayeen daaqado, oo dhererkeedu wuxuu ahaa konton dhudhun oo ballaadhkeeduna wuxuu ahaa shan iyo labaatan dhudhun. 30 Oo meelaha dedan oo ku wareegsan dhererkoodu wuxuu ahaa labaatan dhudhun, ballaadhkooduna wuxuu ahaa shan dhudhun. 31 Oo meelaheeda dedanu waxay u sii jeedeen xagga barxadda dibadda ah, oo tiirarkeedana waxaa ku xardhanaa geedo timireed, oo jaranjarrada loo fuulaana waxay lahayd siddeed tallaabo. 32 Oo haddana wuxuu i dhex geeyey barxaddii hoose oo xagga bari u sii jeedday, oo iriddiina wuxuu u qiyaasay sidii qiyaastaas oo kale. 33 Oo qolladaheedii, iyo tiirarkeedii, iyo meelaheedii dednaaba waxay wada lahaayeen qiyaastaas oo kale, oo iyada iyo meelaheedii dednaa oo ku wareegsanuba waxay lahaayeen daaqado, oo dhererkeedu wuxuu ahaa konton dhudhun, oo ballaadhkeeduna wuxuu ahaa shan iyo labaatan dhudhun. 34 Oo meelaheeda dedanuna waxay u sii jeedeen barxadda dibadda xaggeeda, oo tiirarkana waxaa ku xardhanaa geedo timireed oo dhinacan iyo dhinacaasba kaga yaal, oo jaranjarrada loo fuulaana waxay lahayd siddeed tallaabo. 35 Markaasuu iriddii woqooyi i geeyey, oo sidaas oo kaluu u qiyaasay 36 qolladaheeda, iyo tiirarkeeda, iyo meelaheeda dedan, oo waxay lahayd daaqado ku wareegsan, oo dhererku wuxuu ahaa konton dhudhun, oo ballaadhkuna wuxuu ahaa shan iyo labaatan dhudhun. 37 Oo tiirarkeedu waxay u sii jeedeen barxadda dibadda xaggeeda, oo geedo timireed ayaa tiirarkiisa dhinacan iyo dhinacaasba kaga xardhanaa, oo jaranjarrada loo fuulaana waxay lahayd siddeed tallaabo.

Qolalka Lagu Diyaariyo Qurbaannada La Gubo

38 Oo waxaa jirtay qollad albaabkeedu ku ag yiil tiirarka irdaha, oo halkaasaa qurbaanka la gubo lagu maydhay. 39 Oo balbalada iridda dhinaceedan waxaa yiil laba miis, oo dhinaceedaasna waxaa yiil laba miis, si korkooda loogu gowraco qurbaanka la gubo, iyo qurbaanka dembiga, iyo qurbaanka xadgudubka. 40 Oo dhanka dibadda ah ee kadinka iridda woqooyi loo maro waxaa yiil laba miis, oo dhanka kale oo balbalada iridda u dhowna waxaa yiil laba miis oo kale. 41 Iridda dhinacan waxaa yiil afar miis, oo dhinacaasna waxaa yiil afar miis oo kale, kuwaasoo ahaa siddeed miis oo allabaryada lagu dul gowracay. 42 Oo waxaa jiray afar miis oo dhagax la qoray laga sameeyey oo allabariga la gubo lagu dul diyaariyo, oo dhererkoodu wuxuu ahaa dhudhun iyo badh, ballaadhkooduna wuxuu ahaa dhudhun iyo badh, sarajooggooduna wuxuu ahaa dhudhun, oo korkoodana waxaa la saari jiray alaabta qurbaanka la gubo iyo allabariga lagu qalo. 43 Oo waxaa gudaha ugu xidhnaa qabatooyin ballaadhkoodu taako yahay oo hareerahooda oo dhan kaga wareegsan, oo miisaskii korkoodana waxaa saarnaa hilibkii qurbaanka.

Qolalka Wadaaddada

44 Oo iridda hoose dibaddeedana waxaa ku yiil qolladihii kuwa gabya oo barxadda hoose ku yiil, oo mid waxay ku ag tiil iridda woqooyi oo waxay u sii jeedday xagga koonfureed, oo tanna waxay ag tiil iridda bari oo waxay u sii jeedday xagga woqooyi. 45 Oo wuxuu igu yidhi, Qolladdan xagga koonfureed u sii jeedda waxaa iska leh wadaaddada daarta taladeeda haya. 46 Oo qowladda xagga woqooyi u sii jeeddana waxaa iska leh wadaaddada meesha allabariga taladeeda haya, oo kuwaasu waa reer Saadooq oo reer Laawi ka mid ah, oo Rabbiga ugu soo dhowaada inay isaga u adeegaan. 47 Oo haddana wuxuu qiyaasay barxaddii oo dhererkeedu yahay boqol dhudhun, oo ballaadhkeeduna yahay boqol dhudhun, oo afar gees ah, oo meeshii allabariguna daartay ka horraysay.

Daarta

48 Markaasuu balbaladii daarta i geeyey, oo wuxuu qiyaasay balbalada tiirarkeedii, oo dhinacan wuxuu ahaa shan dhudhun, dhinacaasna wuxuu ahaa shan dhudhun; oo iridda ballaadhkeeduna wuxuu ahaa saddex dhudhun oo dhinacan ah iyo saddex dhudhun oo dhinacaas ah. 49 Oo balbalada dhererkeedu wuxuu ahaa labaatan dhudhun, oo ballaadhkeeduna wuxuu ahaa kow iyo toban dhudhun, oo jaranjarro baa loogu fuuli jiray, oo tiirarka waxaa ku ag yiil tiirar waaweyn, mid dhinacan kaga yaal, midka kalena dhinacaas kaga yaal.

The Temple Area Restored

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(A)—on that very day the hand of the Lord was on me(B) and he took me there. In visions(C) of God he took me to the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain,(D) on whose south side were some buildings that looked like a city. He took me there, and I saw a man whose appearance was like bronze;(E) he was standing in the gateway with a linen cord and a measuring rod(F) in his hand. The man said to me, “Son of man, look carefully and listen closely and pay attention to everything I am going to show you,(G) for that is why you have been brought here. Tell(H) the people of Israel everything you see.(I)

The East Gate to the Outer Court

I saw a wall completely surrounding the temple area. The length of the measuring rod in the man’s hand was six long cubits,[a] each of which was a cubit and a handbreadth. He measured(J) the wall; it was one measuring rod thick and one rod high.

Then he went to the east gate.(K) He climbed its steps and measured the threshold of the gate; it was one rod deep. The alcoves(L) for the guards were one rod long and one rod wide, and the projecting walls between the alcoves were five cubits[b] thick. And the threshold of the gate next to the portico facing the temple was one rod deep.

Then he measured the portico of the gateway; it[c] was eight cubits[d] deep and its jambs were two cubits[e] 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.[f] 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[g] 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.[h] The measurement was up to the portico[i] facing the courtyard.[j](M) 15 The distance from the entrance of the gateway to the far end of its portico was fifty cubits.[k] 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.(N)

The Outer Court

17 Then he brought me into the outer court.(O) There I saw some rooms and a pavement that had been constructed all around the court; there were thirty rooms(P) along the pavement.(Q) 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;(R) it was a hundred cubits[l](S) 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(T)—three on each side—its projecting walls and its portico(U) 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(V) 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.(W) 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.(X)

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(Y) 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.(Z) 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.(AA) 27 The inner court(AB) 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.(AC)

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(AD) as the others. 29 Its alcoves,(AE) 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.(AF) 30 (The porticoes(AG) of the gateways around the inner court were twenty-five cubits wide and five cubits deep.) 31 Its portico(AH) faced the outer court; palm trees decorated its jambs, and eight steps led up to it.(AI)

32 Then he brought me to the inner court on the east side, and he measured the gateway; it had the same measurements(AJ) as the others. 33 Its alcoves,(AK) 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(AL) 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(AM) and measured it. It had the same measurements(AN) as the others, 36 as did its alcoves,(AO) 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[m](AP) faced the outer court; palm trees decorated the jambs on either side, and eight steps led up to it.(AQ)

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(AR) were washed. 39 In the portico of the gateway were two tables on each side, on which the burnt offerings,(AS) sin offerings[n](AT) and guilt offerings(AU) were slaughtered.(AV) 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(AW) for the burnt offerings, each a cubit and a half long, a cubit and a half wide and a cubit high.[o] On them were placed the utensils for slaughtering the burnt offerings and the other sacrifices.(AX) 43 And double-pronged hooks, each a handbreadth[p] 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[q] at the side of the north gate and facing south, and another at the side of the south[r] gate and facing north. 45 He said to me, “The room facing south is for the priests who guard the temple,(AY) 46 and the room facing north(AZ) is for the priests who guard the altar.(BA) These are the sons of Zadok,(BB) who are the only Levites who may draw near to the Lord to minister before him.(BC)

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.(BD)

The New Temple

48 He brought me to the portico of the temple(BE) and measured the jambs of the portico; they were five cubits wide on either side. The width of the entrance was fourteen cubits[s] and its projecting walls were[t] three cubits[u] wide on either side. 49 The portico(BF) was twenty cubits[v] wide, and twelve[w] cubits[x] from front to back. It was reached by a flight of stairs,[y] and there were pillars(BG) on each side of the jambs.
