Qolalkii Wadaaddada

42 Oo haddana wuxuu i geeyey barxaddii dibadda dhankeeda woqooyi, oo wuxuu i geliyey qolladdii meesha goonida ah ka soo hor jeedday oo dhismaha xagga woqooyi ka soo hor jeedday. Oo dhinaca dheer oo dhererkiisu boqol dhudhun ahaa ayaa albaabka woqooyi ku hor yiil, oo ballaadhkiisuna wuxuu ahaa konton dhudhun. Barxadda gudaha oo dhererkeedu labaatanka dhudhun ahaa horteeda iyo meesha sallaxa ah barxadda dibadda horteeda waxaa ku yiil balbalo balbalo kale ka soo hor jeedda oo saddex dabaqadood ah. Oo qolladaha hortoodana waxaa ku yiil jid ballaadhkiisu toban dhudhun yahay, dhererkiisuna boqol dhudhun yahay, oo albaabbadooduna waxay u sii jeedeen xagga woqooyi. Haddaba qolladaha sare way ka cidhiidhsanaayeen kuwa hoose iyo kuwa dhexe ee dhismaha, waayo, balbalooyinku meeshay yareeyeen. Waayo, iyagu waxay ahaayeen saddex dabaqadood, laakiinse tiirar kuwa barxadaha la mid ah ma ay lahayn, sidaas daraaddeed kuwa sare way ka cidhiidhsanaayeen qolladaha hoose iyo kuwa dhexeba. Oo derbigii dibadda oo ku ag yiil qolladihii xagga barxadda dibadda u sii jeeday oo xagga hore oo qolladaha ku yiil dhererkiisu wuxuu ahaa konton dhudhun. Waayo, qolladihii barxadda dibadda ku yiil dhererkoodu wuxuu ahaa konton dhudhun, oo bal eeg, macbudka hortiisu waxay ahayd boqol dhudhun. Oo qolladahaas hoostooda waxaa ku yiil iriddii dhinaca bari laga geli jiray, meeshii iyaga xagga barxadda looga soo galo. 10 Oo qollado baa ku yiil derbigii barxadda xagga bari oo ka soo hor jeeda xagga meesha goonida ah iyo xagga dhismaha. 11 Oo jidkii hortooda ku yiil wuxuu u ekaa sidii kii qolladaha xagga woqooyi ku yiil oo kale. Sidooda oo kaluu u dheeraa oo sidoodoo kaluu u ballaadhnaa, oo meelahooda laga baxo oo dhammuna waxay ahaayeen sida qaabkoodoo kale iyo sida albaabbadooda oo kale. 12 Oo qolladihii xagga koonfureed u sii jeeday albaabbadoodiina waxay lahaayeen albaab jidka madaxiisa ku yiil, kaasoo ah jidkii derbiga xagga bari ka soo hor jeeday, markii iyaga la soo galo. 13 Oo markaasuu igu yidhi, Qolladaha woqooyi iyo qolladaha koonfureed oo meesha goonida ah ka soo hor jeeda waa qolladaha quduuska ah oo wadaaddada Rabbiga u soo dhowaadaa ay waxyaalaha quduuska ah ku cunaan, oo waxay halkaas dhigi doonaan waxyaalaha aad u quduuska ah, iyo qurbaanka hadhuudhka, iyo qurbaanka dembiga, iyo qurbaanka xadgudubka, waayo, meeshaasu waa quduus. 14 Oo markii ay wadaaddadu soo galaan waa inaanay meesha quduuska ah ka bixin inay barxadda dibadda tagaan, laakiinse waa inay meeshaas dhigtaan dharkooda markay adeegayaan ay xidhaan, waayo, iyagu waa quduus, oo waa inay dhar kale xidhaan markay u soo dhowaadaan waxyaalaha dadka.

15 Haddaba markuu qiyaasiddii daarta gudaha dhammaystiray ayuu iriddii xagga bari u sii jeedday iga bixiyey, oo wuxuu qiyaasay hareereheedii oo dhan. 16 Dhankii bari ayuu cawsduurkii qiyaasta ku qiyaasay, oo wuxuu ahaa shan boqol oo cawsduur, oo cawsduurkii qiyaasta ayuu ku soo wada wareejiyey. 17 Dhankii woqooyi cawsduurkii qiyaasta ayuu ku qiyaasay, oo wuxuu ahaa shan boqol oo cawsduur. 18 Oo dhankii koonfureedna wuu ku qiyaasay cawsduurkii qiyaasta, oo wuxuu ahaa shan boqol oo cawsduur. 19 Oo markaasuu dhankii galbeed u leexday, oo shan boqol oo cawsduur ayuu cawsduurkii qiyaasta ku qiyaasay. 20 Oo afartii dhinacba wuu ka qiyaasay, oo waxay lahayd derbi ku wareegsan oo dhererkiisu yahay shan boqol oo cawsduur, oo ballaadhkiisuna yahay shan boqol oo cawsduur, wuxuuna u kala dhexeeyey meesha quduuska ah iyo meesha aan quduuska ahayn.

The Rooms for the Priests

42 Then the man led me northward into the outer court and brought me to the rooms(A) opposite the temple courtyard(B) and opposite the outer wall on the north side.(C) The building whose door faced north was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide.[a] Both in the section twenty cubits[b] from the inner court and in the section opposite the pavement of the outer court, gallery(D) faced gallery at the three levels.(E) In front of the rooms was an inner passageway ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits[c] long.[d] Their doors were on the north.(F) Now the upper rooms were narrower, for the galleries took more space from them than from the rooms on the lower and middle floors of the building. The rooms on the top floor had no pillars, as the courts had; so they were smaller in floor space than those on the lower and middle floors. There was an outer wall parallel to the rooms and the outer court; it extended in front of the rooms for fifty cubits. While the row of rooms on the side next to the outer court was fifty cubits long, the row on the side nearest the sanctuary was a hundred cubits long. The lower rooms had an entrance(G) on the east side as one enters them from the outer court.

10 On the south side[e] along the length of the wall of the outer court, adjoining the temple courtyard(H) and opposite the outer wall, were rooms(I) 11 with a passageway in front of them. These were like the rooms on the north; they had the same length and width, with similar exits and dimensions. Similar to the doorways on the north 12 were the doorways of the rooms on the south. There was a doorway at the beginning of the passageway that was parallel to the corresponding wall extending eastward, by which one enters the rooms.

13 Then he said to me, “The north(J) and south rooms(K) facing the temple courtyard(L) are the priests’ rooms, where the priests who approach the Lord will eat the most holy offerings. There they will put the most holy offerings—the grain offerings,(M) the sin offerings[f](N) and the guilt offerings(O)—for the place is holy.(P) 14 Once the priests enter the holy precincts, they are not to go into the outer court until they leave behind the garments(Q) in which they minister, for these are holy. They are to put on other clothes before they go near the places that are for the people.(R)

15 When he had finished measuring what was inside the temple area, he led me out by the east gate(S) and measured the area all around: 16 He measured the east side with the measuring rod; it was five hundred cubits.[g][h] 17 He measured the north side; it was five hundred cubits[i] by the measuring rod. 18 He measured the south side; it was five hundred cubits by the measuring rod. 19 Then he turned to the west side and measured; it was five hundred cubits by the measuring rod. 20 So he measured(T) the area(U) on all four sides. It had a wall around it,(V) five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits wide,(W) to separate the holy from the common.(X)
