1Thus saith the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened. 2And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening. 3Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the sabbaths and in the new moons. 4And the burnt offering that the prince shall offer unto the LORD in the sabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish. 5And the meat offering shall be an ephah for a ram, and the meat offering for the lambs as he shall be able to give, and an hin of oil to an ephah.46.5 as he…: Heb. the gift of his hand 6And in the day of the new moon it shall be a young bullock without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram: they shall be without blemish. 7And he shall prepare a meat offering, an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs according as his hand shall attain unto, and an hin of oil to an ephah. 8And when the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of that gate, and he shall go forth by the way thereof.
9¶ But when the people of the land shall come before the LORD in the solemn feasts, he that entereth in by the way of the north gate to worship shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go forth over against it. 10And the prince in the midst of them, when they go in, shall go in; and when they go forth, shall go forth. 11And in the feasts and in the solemnities the meat offering shall be an ephah to a bullock, and an ephah to a ram, and to the lambs as he is able to give, and an hin of oil to an ephah. 12Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary burnt offering or peace offerings voluntarily unto the LORD, one shall then open him the gate that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he did on the sabbath day: then he shall go forth; and after his going forth one shall shut the gate. 13Thou shalt daily prepare a burnt offering unto the LORD of a lamb of the first year without blemish: thou shalt prepare it every morning.46.13 of the…: Heb. a son of his year46.13 every…: Heb. morning by morning 14And thou shalt prepare a meat offering for it every morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of an hin of oil, to temper with the fine flour; a meat offering continually by a perpetual ordinance unto the LORD. 15Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meat offering, and the oil, every morning for a continual burnt offering.
16¶ Thus saith the Lord GOD; If the prince give a gift unto any of his sons, the inheritance thereof shall be his sons’; it shall be their possession by inheritance. 17But if he give a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants, then it shall be his to the year of liberty; after it shall return to the prince: but his inheritance shall be his sons’ for them. 18Moreover the prince shall not take of the people’s inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their possession; but he shall give his sons inheritance out of his own possession: that my people be not scattered every man from his possession.
19¶ After he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers of the priests, which looked toward the north: and, behold, there was a place on the two sides westward. 20Then said he unto me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, where they shall bake the meat offering; that they bear them not out into the utter court, to sanctify the people. 21Then he brought me forth into the utter court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and, behold, in every corner of the court there was a court.46.21 in every…: Heb. a court in a corner of a court, and a court in a corner of a court 22In the four corners of the court there were courts joined of forty cubits long and thirty broad: these four corners were of one measure.46.22 joined: or, made with chimneys46.22 corners were…: Heb. cornered, etc 23And there was a row of building round about in them, round about them four, and it was made with boiling places under the rows round about. 24Then said he unto me, These are the places of them that boil, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.
1“Ambuye Yehova akuti, Chipata chakummawa cha bwalo lamʼkati chizikhala chotseka pa masiku asanu ndi limodzi ogwira ntchito, koma chizitsekulidwa pa tsiku la sabata ndi pa tsiku la chikondwerero cha mwezi watsopano. 2Mfumu izilowa podzera mʼkhonde la mʼkati la chipata pochokera kunja, nʼkudzayima pafupi ndi nsanamira yapakhomo. Ansembe apereke nsembe yake yopsereza ndi nsembe yake yachiyanjano. Mfumuyo ipembedze pa chiwundo cha pa chipatacho kenaka nʼkutuluka. Koma chipatacho asachitseke mpaka madzulo. 3Anthu a mʼdziko azipembedza pamaso pa Yehova pa khomo la chipata chimenechi pa masiku a sabata ndi pa tsiku la mwezi watsopano. 4Nsembe yopsereza imene mfumu iyenera kupereka kwa Yehova ikhale motere: pa tsiku la Sabata izipereka ana ankhosa aamuna asanu ndi mmodzi wopanda chilema, ndiponso nkhosa yayima yopanda chilema. 5Pamodzi ndi nkhosa yayimuna, mfumu izipereka nsembe ya chakudya yokwanira efa imodzi. Pamodzi ndi ana ankhosa, mfumu izipereka monga ikufunira kutero. Iperekenso hini imodzi ya mafuta pa efa iliyonse ya tirigu. 6Pa tsiku la mwezi watsopano mfumuyo ipereke mwana wangʼombe wamwamuna, ana ankhosa asanu ndi mmodzi ndiponso nkhosa yayimuna, zonsezi zopanda chilema. 7Ipereke efa imodzi ya tirigu pa ngʼombe yayimuna iliyonse ndiponso efa ina pa nkhosa yayimuna iliyonse. Pa ana ankhosa ipereke tirigu monga ikufunira kutero. Pamodzi ndi efa ya tirigu, ipereke hini imodzi ya mafuta. 8Pamene mfumu ikulowa, izidzera mʼkhonde lamʼkati la chipata chakummawa, izitulukiranso pomwepo.
9“Anthu a mʼdzikomo akabwera kudzapembedza Yehova pa masiku a chikondwerero, ngati munthu alowera pa chipata chakumpoto atulukire chipata chakummwera. Munthu wolowera chipata chakummwera, atulukire chipata chakumpoto. Munthu asatulukire pomwe walowera, koma atulukire pa chipata choyangʼanana nacho. 10Mfumu izidzakhala pakati pawo. Anthu akamadzalowa mfumu idzalowa nawo. Anthu akamadzatuluka mfumu idzatuluka nawo.
11“Pa masiku achikondwerero ndi pa masiku ena osankhidwa, zopereka za chakudya zikhale zokwanira efa imodzi pamodzi ndi ngʼombe yayimuna iliyonse, efa imodzinso ndi nkhosa yayimuna, koma pa mwana wankhosa apereke monga angathere. Iperekenso hini imodzi ya mafuta pa efa iliyonse. 12Pamene mfumu ikufuna kupereka chopereka chaufulu kwa Yehova, kaya ndi nsembe yopsereza kapena zopereka za chiyanjano, ayitsekulire chipata chakummawa. Iyo ipereke nsembe yopsereza kapena zopereka zake za chiyanjano monga imachitira pa tsiku la Sabata. Kenaka ituluke ndipo mfumuyo itatuluka, atseke chitsekocho.
13“Tsiku lililonse nthawi ya mmawa azipereka kwa Yehova mwana wankhosa wa chaka chimodzi. 14Pamodzi ndi nyamayo aziperekanso mmawa uliwonse chopereka cha chakudya chokwanira chimodzi mwa zigawo zisanu ndi chimodzi za efa. Aziperekanso chimodzi mwa zigawo zitatu za hini ya mafuta okandira ufa wosalala. Chopereka cha chakudya chimenechi chiziperekedwa kwa Yehova nthawi zonse mwa lamulo. 15Motero azipereka mwana wankhosa ndi chopereka cha chakudya ndi mafuta mmawa uliwonse kuti zikhale nsembe zopsereza za tsiku ndi tsiku.
16“ ‘Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Ngati kalonga apereka mphatso chigawo cha cholowa chake kwa mmodzi mwa ana ake, mphatsoyo idzakhala ya ana akewo. Idzakhala yawo chifukwa ndi cholowa chawo. 17Koma ngati ipereka mphatso yotere kuchokera pa cholowa chake kwa mmodzi mwa antchito ake, mphatsoyo idzakhala ya wantchitoyo mpaka chaka chaufulu. Pambuyo pake idzabwereranso kwa kalongayo chifukwa cholowa chake ndi cha ana ake. 18Kalonga asalande cholowa chilichonse cha anthu, kuwachotsa mʼdera lawo la dziko. Iye apereke kwa ana ake cholowa chawo chochokera pa chuma chakechake, kuti pasapezeke ndi mmodzi yemwe mwa anthu anga wolandidwa chuma chake.’ ”
19Kenaka munthu uja anandidzeretsa pa khomo la pambali pa chipata nandilowetsa ku zipinda za ansembe zoyangʼana kumpoto. Ndipo ndinaona kumeneko malo chakumadzulo kwa zipindazo. 20Munthuyo anandiwuza kuti, “Awa ndi malo amene ansembe adzaphikirapo nsembe yopepesera kupalamula ndi nsembe yopepesera machimo. Kumenekonso azidzawotcherako chopereka cha chakudya. Sadzatuluka nazo zoyerazi mʼbwalo lakunja kuopa kuti angapatsireko kuyera anthu ena.”
21Pambuyo pake anandilowetsa mʼbwalo lakunja napita nane ku ngodya zinayi za bwalolo. Ndipo ndinaona mʼkati mwa ngodya iliyonse bwalo lina. 22Motero pa ngodya zinayi za bwalo panalinso mabwalo ena angʼonoangʼono. Mabwalo amenewa anali ofanana. Mulitali mwake munali mamita makumi awiri ndipo mulifupi mwake munali mamita khumi ndi asanu. 23Kuzungulira mabwalo anayi angʼonoangʼono aja panali mpanda wamiyala, ndi malo asonkhapo moto omangidwa mʼmunsi mwa mpandawo mozungulira. 24Munthuyo anandiwuza kuti, “Izi ndi zipinda zophikiramo. Mʼmenemu anthu otumikira ku Nyumba ya Mulungu adzaphikiramo nyama za nsembe za anthu.”
