Ezekiel 41

1 Then the man brought me into the outer sanctuary and measured the side pillars to be six cubits wide on each side.

1 Kisha yule mtu akanileta katika sehemu ya nje ya patakatifu, naye akaipima miimo; upana wake ulikuwa dhiraa sita kila upande.

2 The width of the entrance was ten cubits, and the sides of the entrance were five cubits on each side. He also measured the length of the outer sanctuary to be forty cubits, and the width to be twenty cubits.

2 Ingilio lilikuwa la upana wa dhiraa kumi na kuta zilizojitokeza kila upande zilikuwa na upana wa dhiraa tano. Pia akapima sehemu ya nje ya patakatifu, nayo ilikuwa na urefu wa dhiraa arobaini na upana wa dhiraa ishirini.

3 And he went into the inner sanctuary and measured the side pillars at the entrance to be two cubits wide. The entrance was six cubits wide, and the walls on each side were seven cubits wide.

3 Kisha akaingia sehemu takatifu ndani ya Hekalu na kupima miimo ya ingilio, kila mmoja ulikuwa na upana wa dhiraa mbili. Ingilio lilikuwa na upana wa dhiraa sita, na kuta zilizotokeza kila upande zilikuwa na upana wa dhiraa saba.

4 Then he measured the room adjacent to the inner sanctuary to be twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. And he said to me, “This is the Most Holy Place.”

4 Naye akapima urefu wa sehemu takatifu ndani, nao ulikuwa dhiraa ishirini, na upana wake ulikuwa dhiraa ishirini hadi mwisho wa sehemu ya nje ya sehemu takatifu. Akaniambia, “Hapa ndipo Patakatifu pa Patakatifu.”

5 Next he measured the wall of the temple to be six cubits thick, and the width of each side room around the temple was four cubits.

5 Kisha akapima ukuta wa Hekalu, nao ulikuwa na unene wa dhiraa sita, na kila chumba cha pembeni kuzunguka Hekalu kilikuwa na upana wa dhiraa nne.

6 The side rooms were arranged one above another in three levels of thirty rooms each. There were ledges all around the wall of the temple to serve as supports for the side rooms, so that the supports would not be fastened into the wall of the temple itself.

6 Vyumba vya pembeni vilikuwa na ghorofa tatu, kimoja juu ya kingine, kila ghorofa ilikuwa na vyumba thelathini. Kulikuwa na boriti katika ukuta wote wa Hekalu ili kuimarisha vyumba vya pembeni, kwa hiyo boriti hizo hazikushikamanishwa kwenye ukuta wa Hekalu.

7 The side rooms surrounding the temple widened at each successive level, because the structure surrounding the temple ascended by stages corresponding to the narrowing of the temple wall as it rose upward. And so a stairway went up from the lowest story to the highest, through the middle one.

7 Vyumba vya pembeni vilivyozunguka Hekalu vilizidi kupanuka kulingana na sakafu zilivyokwenda juu. Ujenzi uliozunguka Hekalu ulijengwa kukwea juu, kwa hiyo vyumba vilipanuka kwa kadiri ya kila kimoja kilivyokwenda juu. Ngazi za kupandia zilianzia sakafu ya chini hadi sakafu ya juu kabisa kwa kupitia sakafu ya kati.

8 I saw that the temple had a raised base all around it, forming the foundation of the side rooms. It was the full length of a rod, six long cubits.

8 Nikaona pia kuwa Hekalu lilikuwa na kitako kilichoinuliwa pande zote, huu ulikuwa ndio msingi wa vile vyumba vya pembeni ambao ulikuwa na urefu wa ule ufito mmoja wa kupimia, yaani, dhiraa ndefu sita.

9 The outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits thick, and the open area between the side rooms of the temple

9 Ukuta wa nje wa vyumba vya pembeni ulikuwa na unene wa dhiraa tano. Eneo la wazi katikati ya vyumba vya pembeni vya Hekalu

10 and the outer chambers was twenty cubits wide all around the temple.

10 na vyumba vya makuhani lilikuwa na upana wa dhiraa ishirini kuzunguka Hekalu pande zote.

11 The side rooms opened into this area, with one entrance on the north and another on the south. The open area was five cubits wide all around.

11 Kulikuwa na maingilio kwenye vyumba vya pembeni kutokea eneo lililo wazi, moja upande wa kaskazini na lingine upande wa kusini, nao msingi uliounganisha lile eneo la wazi ulikuwa na upana wa dhiraa tano ukilizunguka lote.

12 Now the building that faced the temple courtyard on the west was seventy cubits wide, and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, with a length of ninety cubits.

12 Jengo lililoelekeana na ua wa Hekalu upande wa magharibi lilikuwa na upana wa dhiraa sabini. Ukuta wa jengo hilo ulikuwa na unene wa dhiraa tano, kulizunguka lote, urefu ulikuwa wa dhiraa tisini.

13 Then he measured the temple to be a hundred cubits long, and the temple courtyard and the building with its walls were also a hundred cubits long.

13 Kisha akapima Hekalu, lilikuwa na urefu wa dhiraa mia moja na ua wa Hekalu na jengo pamoja na kuta zake vilikuwa na urefu wa dhiraa mia moja pia.

14 The width of the temple courtyard on the east, including the front of the temple, was a hundred cubits.

14 Upana wa ua wa Hekalu upande wa mashariki, pamoja na upande wa mbele wa Hekalu ulikuwa dhiraa mia moja.

15 Next he measured the length of the building facing the temple courtyard at the rear of the temple, including its galleries on each side; it was a hundred cubits. The outer sanctuary, the inner sanctuary, and the porticoes facing the court,

15 Kisha akapima urefu wa jengo linaloelekeana na ua upande wa nyuma wa Hekalu, pamoja na vyumba vyake kila upande, ilikuwa dhiraa mia moja. Sehemu takatifu ya nje, sehemu takatifu ya ndani, pamoja na baraza inayoelekeana na ukumbi,

16 as well as the thresholds and the beveled windows and the galleries all around with their three levels opposite the threshold, were overlaid with wood on all sides. They were paneled from the ground to the windows, and the windows were covered.

16 pamoja na vizingiti, madirisha membamba na vyumba vyote vitatu, kila kimoja pamoja na kizingiti vilifunikwa kwa mbao. Sakafu, ukuta mpaka kwenye madirisha na madirisha yenyewe vilifunikwa kwa mbao.

17 In the space above the outside of the entrance to the inner sanctuary on all the walls, spaced evenly around the inner and outer sanctuary,

17 Katika nafasi iliyokuwa juu ya upande wa nje wa ingilio la sehemu takatifu ya ndani, na katika kuta zilizozunguka sehemu takatifu ya ndani na sehemu takatifu ya nje, kwa nafasi zilizo sawa,

18 were alternating carved cherubim and palm trees. Each cherub had two faces:

18 kulinakshiwa makerubi na miti ya mitende. Miti ya mitende ilikuwa kati ya kerubi na kerubi. Kila kerubi alikuwa na nyuso mbili:

19 the face of a man was toward the palm tree on one side, and the face of a young lion was toward the palm tree on the other side. They were carved all the way around the temple.

19 upande mmoja uso wa mwanadamu kuelekea mti wa mtende na upande mwingine uso wa simba ukielekea mti mwingine wa mtende. Ilinakshiwa kuzunguka Hekalu lote.

20 Cherubim and palm trees were carved on the wall of the outer sanctuary from the floor to the space above the entrance.

20 Kuanzia sakafu mpaka eneo lililo juu ya ingilio, palinakshiwa makerubi na miti ya mitende pamoja na kwenye ukuta wa nje wa patakatifu.

21 The outer sanctuary had a rectangular doorframe, and the doorframe of the sanctuary was similar.

21 Mahali patakatifu pa nje palikuwa na miimo ya mlango uliokuwa mraba na ule uliokuwa katika Patakatifu Pa Patakatifu ulikuwa unafanana na huo mwingine.

22 There was an altar of wood three cubits high and two cubits square. Its corners, base, and sides were of wood. And the man told me, “This is the table that is before the LORD.”

22 Kulikuwa na madhabahu ya mbao kimo chake dhiraa tatu na ilikuwa dhiraa mbili mraba pande zote, tako lake na pande zake zilikuwa za mbao. Yule mtu akaniambia, “Hii ni meza ambayo iko mbele za Bwana.”

23 Both the outer sanctuary and the inner sanctuary had double doors,

23 Mahali patakatifu pa nje na Patakatifu Pa Patakatifu zilikuwa na milango miwili.

24 and each door had two swinging panels. There were two panels for one door and two for the other.

24 Kila mlango ulikuwa na vipande viwili, vipande viwili vilivyoshikwa na bawaba vyenye kufunguka kwa kila mlango.

25 Cherubim and palm trees like those on the walls were carved on the doors of the outer sanctuary, and there was a wooden canopy outside, on the front of the portico.

25 Juu ya hiyo milango ya Patakatifu palinakshiwa makerubi na miti ya mitende kama yale yaliyonakshiwa kwenye kuta, na kulikuwa na ubao ulioningʼinia mbele ya baraza kwa nje.

26 There were beveled windows and palm trees on the sidewalls of the portico. The side rooms of the temple also had canopies.

26 Katika kuta za pembeni za ukumbi kulikuwa na madirisha membamba yaliyonakshiwa miti ya mitende kila upande. Vyumba vya pembeni vya Hekalu pia vilikuwa vimefunikwa kwa mbao.
