43 ¶ Nonm lan mennen m' bò pòtay ki bay sou solèy leve a.

Rive la, mwen wè gwo limyè prezans Bondye pèp Izrayèl la k'ap soti bò solèy leve a, k'ap vini. Li fè yon gwo bri tankou bri lanmè ki move. Gwo limyè sa a te klere toupatou sou latè.

Vizyon sa a te parèy ak vizyon mwen te wè lè Bondye t'ap vini pou kraze lavil Jerizalèm lan, li te parèy ak vizyon mwen te wè bò larivyè Keba a. Mwen lage kò m' fas atè.

Gwo limyè a pase nan pòtay solèy leve a, li antre nan Tanp lan.

Lespri Seyè a leve m' anlè, li fè m' antre nan ti lakou anndan an, kote mwen wè gwo limyè Seyè a te plen tout Tanp lan nèt.

Nonm lan menm te kanpe bò kote m'. Mwen tande Seyè a pale avè m', antan li anndan tanp lan, li di m' konsa:

¶ -Nonm o! Men fotèy kote m' chita a! Men kote m'ap poze pye m' yo. Se la mwen pral rete nan mitan moun pèp Izrayèl yo pou tout tan. Ni pèp Izrayèl la ni wa yo p'ap janm fè sèvis pou lòt bondye osinon sou tonm wa yo ankò pou yo derespekte non m'.

Wa yo te konn moute poto kay yo toupre Tanp mwen an, yo te mete papòt yo toupre papòt Tanp mwen an. Konsa se yon senp ti miray ki te separe yo avè m'. Men, yo lage kò yo nan fè yon bann vye bagay derespektan. Yo trennen non m' nan labou. Se poutèt sa mwen te move sou yo, mwen fini ak yo.

Koulye a, se pou yo sispann fè sèvis pou lòt bondye, se pou yo wete kadav wa yo devan je m'! Si yo fè sa, m'a rete nan mitan yo pou tout tan.

10 Seyè a di m' ankò: -Nonm o! Fè moun pèp Izrayèl yo konnen ki jan Tanp lan pral ye. Fè yo kalkile plan Tanp lan byen. Fè yo wont tout vye bagay derespektan yo te konn fè yo.

11 Si yo wont tou sa yo te konn fè yo, w'a esplike yo plan Tanp lan: jan tout bagay ranje ladan l', kote pou yo pase antre, kote pou yo pase soti, fòm l'ap genyen, ansanm ak tout regleman ak lòd ki bay jan pou yo sèvi ladan l'. Kouche tou sa sou papye devan je yo pou yo ka wè jan tout bagay ranje, pou yo ka konfòme yo. Men lòd mwen bay pou Tanp lan:

12 Tout zòn ki bò Tanp lan sou tèt mòn lan, se yon kote apa nèt pou mwen. Men lòd mwen bay sou Tanp lan.

13 ¶ Men dimansyon lotèl la, dapre sistèm mezi nou sèvi pou mezire Tanp lan. Nan pye lotèl la, yon kannal vin pous pwofondè, vin pous lajè, ak yon rebò sou deyò dis pous wotè.

14 Lotèl la ap fèt an twa pòsyon. Premye pòsyon an chita sou pye a. L'a gen kat pye wotè. Dezyèm pòsyon an va pi gwo, l'a gen sèt pye wotè sou premye pòsyon an, men longè l' ak lajè l' ap yon ti jan pi piti pou l' ka kite yon rebò vin pous chak bò sou tèt premye pòsyon an. Konsa tou, longè ak lajè dènye pòsyon an va yon ti jan pi piti pase dezyèm lan pou l' ka kite yon rebò vin pous chak bò sou tèt dezyèm pòsyon an.

15 Dènye pòsyon sa a va gen sèt pye wotè tou. Se sou li pou yo boule ofrann yo. Nan kat kwen yo te gen kat kòn, vin pous wotè.

16 Anwo lotèl la te kare kare, vin pye chak bò.

17 Pòsyon ki nan mitan an te kare kare tou, vennkat pye chak bò, ak yon ti rebò sou deyò, dis pous wotè. Ti kannal la te vin pous lajè. Macheskalye pou moute devan lotèl la te sou bò solèy leve.

18 Seyè sèl Mèt la pale avè m', li di m' ankò: -Nonm o! Koute sa m'ap di, men sa mwen bay lòd pou yo fè: Lè n'a fin moute lotèl la, n'a mete l' apa pou mwen. N'a boule vyann bèt n'a ofri pou mwen yo sou li, n'a voye san bèt nou te touye yo sou tout lotèl la. Se konsa n'a mete lotèl la apa pou mwen.

19 Nan moun Levi yo se prèt ki soti nan fanmi Zadòk la ase ki pou parèt devan m' pou sèvi m'. Men sa mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, m' mande: N'a bay prèt sa yo yon jenn towo bèf pou yo ofri ban mwen pou mande padon pou peche yo.

20 N'a pran ti gout nan san an, n'a vide l' sou tèt kat kòn yo nan kat kwen lotèl la, sou kat kwen pòsyon mitan lotèl la ak sou tout rebò a. Se konsa n'a wete tout peche ki te antre nan fè lotèl la, n'a mete l' apa nèt pou sèvis mwen.

21 N'a pran towo bèf yo ofri ban mwen pou mande padon pou peche a, n'a boule l' yon lòt kote byen lwen andeyò lakou Tanp lan.

22 Nan denmen, n'a pran yon bouk kabrit ki san ankenn enfimite, n'a ofri l' ban mwen pou mande m' padon pou peche nou yo. N'a mete lotèl la apa pou sèvis mwen ak san li, menm jan yo te fè l' lavèy ak san towo a.

23 Lè n'a fin fè sa, n'a pran nan bann bèt nou yo yon jenn towo ak yon jenn belye mouton, tou de san ankenn enfimite.

24 N'a mennen yo devan m'. Prèt yo va voye sèl sou yo. Lèfini, y'a boule yo nèt tankou yon ofrann pou mwen.

25 Chak jou, pandan sèt jou, n'a ofri yon kabrit, yon towo ak yon belye mouton ban mwen pou mande padon pou peche nou yo. Se pou tout bèt sa yo san ankenn enfimite. N'a pran yo nan tout bann bèt nou yo.

26 Pandan sèt jou, prèt yo va fè seremoni pou mete lotèl la nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou mwen. Se konsa y'a pare l' pou li ka sèvi nan Tanp lan, y'a mete l' apa pou Bondye.

27 Apre sèt jou sa yo, prèt yo va konmanse ofri sou lotèl la lòt ofrann bèt pou yo boule nèt yo ansanm ak ofrann pèp la pou di Bondye mèsi. Se konsa m'a kontan ak nou. Se mwen menm Seyè sèl Mèt la ki di sa.

God’s Glory Returns to the Temple

43 Then the man brought me to the gate facing east,(A) 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) 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. The glory(D) of the Lord entered the temple through the gate facing east.(E) 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)

While the man was standing beside me, I heard someone speaking to me from inside the temple. 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) 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. 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.”
