¹And he brought me back toward the outer gate of the sanctuary which looked toward the east; and it was shut.

¹[Lalàna ny amin'ny mpanjaka sy ny mpisorona] Dia nentiny niverina aho tamin'ny lalana mankamin'ny vavahady ivelany amin'ny fitoerana masina, dia ilay manatrika ny atsinanana; ka, indro, nirindrina io.

²And Jehovah said unto me, This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened, and no one shall enter in by it: for Jehovah, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it; and it shall be shut.

²Dia hoy Jehovah tamiko: Ity vavahady ity dia hirindrina ka tsy hovohana ary tsy hidiran'olona; fa efa nidiran'i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, io, ka izany no hirindrinany.

³As for the prince, he, the prince, shall sit in it to eat bread before Jehovah: he shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go out by the way of the same.

³Kanefa kosa ny mpanjaka no mahazo mipetraka ao hihinan-kanina eo anatrehan'i Jehovah, satria mpanjaka izy; amin'ny lalana mankamin'ny lavarangan'ny vavahady no hidirany, ary amin'ny lalana nalehany ihany toa no hivoahany.

⁴And he brought me the way of the north gate before the house; and I beheld, and lo, the glory of Jehovah filled the house of Jehovah: and I fell upon my face.

⁴Dia nentiny nankamin'ny vavahady avaratra ho eo anoloan'ny trano koa aho, dia hitako fa, indro, feno ny voninahitr'i Jehovah ny tranon? i Jehovah; ka dia nikarapoka nihohoka aho.

⁵And Jehovah said unto me, Son of man, apply thy heart, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning all the statutes of the house of Jehovah, and all the laws thereof; and mark well the entering in of the house, with every going forth of the sanctuary;

⁵Ary hoy Jehovah tamiko: Ry zanak'olona, mandiniha tsara, ka mijere amin'ny masonao, ary aoka hohenoin'ny sofinao izay rehetra lazaiko aminao ny amin'ny didy sy ny lalàna rehetra amin'ny tranon'i Jehovah; ary diniho tsara ny fidirana amin'ny trano sy ny fivoahana rehetra avy ao amin'ny fitoerana masina.

⁶and say to the rebellious, to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Let it suffice you of all your abominations, O house of Israel,

⁶Ary lazao amin'ireo maditra, dia ny taranak'Isiraely hoe: Izao no lazain'i Jehovah Tompo: Aoka izay ny fahavetavetanareo, ry taranak'Isiraely!

⁷in that ye have brought strangers, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to profane it, [even] my house, when ye offered my bread, the fat and the blood; and they have broken my covenant besides all your abominations.

⁷dia ny nitondranareo vahiny tsy mifora fo na nofo hitoetra ao amin'ny fitoerako masina mba handoto ny tranoko tamin'ny nanateranareo ny haniko, dia ny sabora sy ny rà, ka dia nivadika ny fanekeko ireo ho fanampin'ny fahavetavetanareo rehetra;

⁸And ye have not kept the charge of my holy things, but have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.

⁸ary tsy nitandrina ny anjara-raharaha ny amin'ny fitoerako masina ianareo, fa efa nanendry izay ho mpitandrina ny anjara-raharaha ao amin'ny fitoerana masina hisolo anareo.

⁹Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: No stranger, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel.

⁹Izao no lazain'i Jehovah Tompo: Ny vahiny tsy mifora fo sy nofo rehetra izay ao amin'ny zanak'Isiraely dia tsy misy hahazo miditra ao amin'ny fitoerako masina.

¹⁰But the Levites who went away far from me, when Israel went astray, going astray from me after their idols, they shall even bear their iniquity;

¹⁰Ary na dia ny Levita aza, izay nanalavitra Ahy tamin'ny nivilian'ny Isiraely, izay nivily niala tamiko ka nanaraka ny sampiny, dia hitondra ny helony izy.

¹¹but they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having oversight at the gates of the house, and doing the service of the house: they shall slaughter the burnt-offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister unto them.

¹¹Ary ho mpanao fanompoam-pivavahana ao amin'ny fitoerako masina izy, dia ho mpiadidy ny amin'ny fiandrasana ny vavahadin'ny tempoly sy ho mpanao fanompoam-pivavahana ao amin'ny tempoly;152 hisolo ny olona hamono ny fanatitra dorana sy ny fanatitra hafa izy ary hitoetra eo anatrehany hanao fanompoam-pivavahana ho azy.[Heb. trano]

¹²Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and were unto the house of Israel a stumbling-block of iniquity; therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, saith the Lord Jehovah, that they shall bear their iniquity.

¹²Satria nanao fanompoam-pivavahana ho azy teo anatrehan'ny sampiny izy ka tonga fahatafintohinana nahameloka ny taranak'Isiraely, dia izany no nananganako tanana hamely azy ka nilazako fa hitondra ny helony izy, hoy Jehovah Tompo,

¹³And they shall not draw near unto me, to do the office of a priest unto me, nor to draw near to any of my holy things, [even] to the most holy; but they shall bear their confusion, and their abominations which they have committed.

¹³ary tsy hanatona Ahy ho mpisoroko izy, na hanakaiky izay zavatra masina na inona na inona, dia izay zavatra masina indrindra; fa hitambesaran'ny fahamenarany sy ny fahavetavetana nataony izy.

¹⁴And I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.

¹⁴Ary hotendreko ho mpitandrina ny anjara-raharaha ny amin'ny trano izy, dia ny fanompoana rehetra sy ny zavatra rehetra atao ao.

¹⁵But the priests, the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall approach unto me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to present unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord Jehovah.

¹⁵Fa ny Levita mpisorona, taranak'i zadoka kosa, izay nitandrina ny anjara-raharaha ny amin'ny fitoerako masina, tamin'ny nivilian'ny zanak'Isiraely niala tamiko, dia izy no hanatona Ahy hanao fanompoam-pivavahana ho Ahy, ary izy no ho eo anatrehako hanatitra ho Ahy ny sabora sy ny rà, hoy Jehovah Tompo.

¹⁶They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall approach unto my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge.

¹⁶Eny, izy no hiditra ao amin'ny fitoerako masina sy hanatona ny latabatro hanao fanompoam-pivavahana ho Ahy ary hitandrina izay nasaiko hotandremana.

¹⁷And it shall come to pass when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, when they minister in the gates of the inner court, and towards the house.

¹⁷Ary raha miditra any amin'ny vavahadin'ny kianja anatiny izy, dia hiakanjo rongony fotsy; fa tsy hisy volon'ondry eny aminy, raha manao fanompoam-pivavahana ao am-bavahadin'ny kianja anatiny sy ao anatiny izy.

¹⁸They shall have linen tires upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird on anything that causeth sweat.

¹⁸Satroka rongony no ho eo an-dohany, ary kalisaona fohy rongony fotsy no ho eo am-balahany, ary tsy hifehy zavatra mahatsemboka azy izy.

¹⁹And when they go forth into the outer court, into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they ministered, and lay them in the holy cells; and they shall put on other garments, that they may not hallow the people with their garments.

¹⁹Ary raha mivoaka ho any amin'ny kianja ivelany hankany amin'ny olona izy, dia hesoriny ilay fitafiana nentiny nanao fanompoam-pivavahana, ka havelany ao amin'ny efi-trano masina, ary hitafy fitafiana hafa izy, fa tsy hanamasina ny olona amin'ireny fitafiany ireny.

²⁰Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long: they shall duly poll their heads.

²⁰Tsy hanaratra ny lohany izy, nefa kosa tsy hanao lava volo, fa hataony tsara hety.

²¹Neither shall any priest drink wine when they enter into the inner court.

²¹Ny divay dia tsy hosotroin'izay mpisorona, raha miditra any amin'ny kianja anatiny izy.

²²And they shall not take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away; but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that is the widow of a priest.

²²Ary tsy hanambady vehivavy efa maty vady na izay efa nisaorana izy; fa virijiny avy amin'ny taranak'Isiraely, na izay novinadin'ny mpisorona efa maty no hovadiny.

²³And they shall teach my people [the difference] between holy and profane, and cause them to discern between unclean and clean.

²³Ary hampianatra ny oloko ny tsi-fitovian'ny masina sy ny tsy masina izy ary hampahafantatra azy ny tsi-fitovian'ny tsy madio sy ny madio.

²⁴And in controversy they shall stand to judge: they shall judge it according to my judgments; and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all my solemnities; and they shall hallow my sabbaths.

²⁴Ary raha misy mifanditra, dia ireo no hitsangana hitsara, ka araka ny fitsipiko no hitsarany azy; ary ny lalàko sy ny didiko dia hotandremany amin'ny fotoam-pivavahana rehetra voatendriko, ary ny Sabatako dia hohamasininy.

²⁵And they shall come at no dead person to become unclean; but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may become unclean.

²⁵Ary tsy hiditra am-paty handoto ny tenany izy ireny; kanefa raha rainy, na reniny, na zananilahy, na zananivavy, na rahalahiny, na anabaviny tsy manam-bady, dia mahazo miditra am-paty ihany izy.

²⁶And after he is cleansed, they shall count unto him seven days.

²⁶Ary rehefa voadio aza izy, dia mbola hampiandrasina hafitoana aloha.

²⁷And on the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, unto the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall present his sin-offering, saith the Lord Jehovah.

²⁷Ary amin'ny andro hidirany ao amin'ny fitoerana masina, dia any amin'ny kianja anatiny, hanao fanompoam-pivavahana ao amin'ny fitoerana masina, dia hanatitra ny fanatiny noho ny ota izy, hoy Jehovah Tompo.

²⁸And it shall be unto them for an inheritance; I am their inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Israel; I am their possession.

²⁸Ary hisy lova ho azy, dia Izaho no lovany; ary tsy homenareo zara-tany eo amin'ny Isiraely izy, fa Izaho no anjarany.

²⁹They shall eat the oblation and the sin-offering and the trespass-offering; and every devoted thing in Israel shall be theirs.

²⁹Ny fanatitra hohanina sy ny fanatitra noho ny ota ary ny fanati-panonerana no hohaniny; ary ny zavatra rehetra izay voatokana eo amin'ny Isiraely dia ho azy koa.[Heb. herema]

³⁰And the first of all the first-fruits of every [kind], and every heave-offering of every [kind], of all your heave-offerings, shall be for the priests; ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest on thy house.

³⁰Ary ny santatry ny voaloham-bokatra rehetra avy amin'ny zavatra rehetra sy ny fanatitra rehetra izay alaina amin'ny zavatra atao fanatitra dia ho an'ny mpisorona; ary ny santatry ny kobanareo voafetafeta dia homenareo ny mpisorona koa, mba hampitoerana fitahiana ao an-tranonao.Ny zavatra maty ho azy sy izay noviraviraim-biby, na vorona na biby dia samy tsy hohanin'ny mpisorona.

³¹The priests shall not eat of anything that dieth of itself, or of that which is torn, whether of fowl or of beast.

³¹Ny zavatra maty ho azy sy izay noviraviraim-biby, na vorona na biby dia samy tsy hohanin'ny mpisorona.
