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

¹ Waato din gaa a ye ka kande ay koyne nangu hananta meyo do, taray meyo kaŋ ga guna wayna funay haray, a go ga daabu no.

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.

² Rabbi ne ay se: Me woone wo, daabante no a ga goro, i s'a fiti bo. Boro mo si no kaŋ ga furo a gaa, zama Rabbi, Israyla Irikoyo furo noodin a ra. Woodin sabbay se mo daabante no a ga goro.

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.

³ Mayraykoyo sanni mo, nga no ga goro a ra zama nga wo mayraykoy no, a ma ŋwa Rabbi jine. Amma meyo gaa tanda fonda gaa haray no a ga furo nd'a, yaadin cine mo no a ga fatta nd'a.

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.

⁴ Waato din gaa no a gana nd'ay azawa kambe haray meyo fonda gaa, hala Fu Beero jine. Kaŋ ay guna mo, kala ay di Rabbi darza na Rabbi Fuwo toonandi. Ay binde ganda biri.

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;

⁵ Kala Rabbi ne ay se: Boro izo, ni laakalo ye a ma boori. Ma guna da ni moy, ma maa da ni hangey, hay kulu kaŋ ay ga ci ni se hin sanney da asariya kulu boŋ, Rabbi windo waney. Ma laakal ye mo fuwo ra furoyaŋo do gaa hal a ma boori, da fondo kulu kaŋ ga fatta nangu hananta do.

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,

⁶ Ma ci murtantey din se, sanda Israyla dumo nooya, ka ne: Ya araŋ Israyla dumo, araŋ fanta harey wo kulu, i wasa. Yaadin no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci.

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.

⁷ Zama yawyaŋ kaŋ biney sinda dambanguyaŋ, i sinda dambanguyaŋ ngey gaahamey gaa mo, araŋ kand'ey ay nangu hananta ra k'a ziibandi, sanda ay windo nooya. Waati kaŋ araŋ ga sargayey salle ay se, danga kuri nda maani wane, araŋ n'ay sappa tunandi nooya araŋ fanta harey kulu do.

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

⁸ Araŋ bumbey mana ay jinay hanantey haggoy, kal araŋ na boro fooyaŋ daŋ araŋ nangey ra i ma haggoy d'ay goyo ay nangu hananta ra.

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.

⁹ Yaa no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci: Yaw baa afolloŋ si furo ay nangu hananta ra, sanda yaw fo kulu kaŋ go no Israyla izey game ra nooya, kaŋ sinda bine ra dambanguyaŋ da gaaham gaa wane mo.

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;

¹⁰ Amma Lawi borey, kaŋ mooru ay, i kamba ka fay d'ay zama ngey ma ngey toorey gana se, waato kaŋ cine Israyla kamba -- i ga ngey taaley alhakko sambu.

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.

¹¹ Kulu nda yaadin i ga ciya ay nangu hananta ra goy-teeriyaŋ. I ma windi meyey batu, i ma goy windo ra, i ga sargayey kaŋ i ga ton wi, da sargayey kaŋ i ga te jama se, i ga kay borey jine ka goy i se mo.

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.

¹² Za kaŋ i goy jama se i toorey jine, i ciya hartayaŋ sabaabu laalo Israyla dumo se, kal ay binde ze ka gaaba nd'ey, mate kaŋ Rabbi, Koy Beero ci, ka ne i ga ngey zunubo alhakko jare.

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.

¹³ I si ye ka maan ay gaa alfagataray goy teeyaŋ se koyne. I si maan mo ay wane jinay hanantey gaa koyne, baa afolloŋ, wala jinayey kaŋ ga hanan ka bisa i kulu. I ga ngey haawo da ngey fanta goyey kaŋ i te din jare.

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.

¹⁴ Kulu nda yaadin ay g'i ciya windo goy haggoykoyaŋ a goyey kulu sabbay se, da hay kulu kaŋ i ga te a ra mo.

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.

¹⁵ Amma Lawi borey do haray alfagey, Zadok banda, wo kaŋ yaŋ haggoy d'ay nangu hananta goyo waato kaŋ cine Israyla izey kamba ka fay d'ay, ngey, Zadok banda din no ga maan ay, ka goy ay se. I ga kay mo ay jine, i ma maani nda kuri salle ay se. Yaadin no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci.

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

¹⁶ Ngey no ga furo ay nangu hananta ra ka maan ay taablo gaa, zama i ma goy ay se, i g'ay goyo haggoy mo.

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.

¹⁷ Saaya kaŋ cine i ga furo windo ra haray batamey meyey gaa, kal i ma daŋ lin* bankaarayyaŋ. I ma si feeji hamni silli daŋ ngey gaa duumi, waati kaŋ cine i goono ga goy windo ra haray batamey meyey ra, wala Fu Beero ra.

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.

¹⁸ I ga lin boŋtobayyaŋ didiji ngey boŋey gaa. I ga lin mudunyaŋ daŋ ngey cey gaa mo, i ma si hay kulu daŋ kaŋ ga naŋ i ma sungay.

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.

¹⁹ Waati kaŋ i ga fatta ka koy taray batama ra mo, sanda jama do nooya, kal i ma ngey goy bankaarayey kaa ngey gaa k'i jisi fu hanantey ra. Gaa i ma bankaaray fooyaŋ daŋ, zama i ma si borey ciya hananteyaŋ i bankaarayey din hamyaŋo do.

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

²⁰ I ma si ngey boŋey cabu, i ma si boŋ zoobey taŋ yaadin mo. Kal i ma ngey boŋ hamney hanse hinne.

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

²¹ Alfaga fo kulu ma si duvan* haŋ waati kaŋ cine i goono ga furo windo ra haray batama ra.

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.

²² I ma si wayboro kaŋ kurnye bu hiiji, wala wo kaŋ kurnyo n'a fay. Day i ma hiiji wandiyoyaŋ, Israyla dumo ra, wala binde alfaga fo kaŋ bu wande.

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

²³ I g'ay borey dondonandi i ma fayanka hanantey da wo kaŋ si hanan yaŋ game ra. I ma cabe i se mate kaŋ cine i ga te ka faham da wo kaŋ ga ziibi nda wo kaŋ si ziibi mo.

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.

²⁴ Da kakaw tun, ngey no ga kay ka ciiti sanni fay, ay farilley boŋ no i ga ciiti te. Ay sududuyaŋ batey kulu kaŋ i daŋ ra, ngey no ga haggoy d'ay asariyey d'ay hin sanney. I m'ay asibtey hanandi mo.

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.

²⁵ I ma si ngey boŋ ziibandi boro buuko kulu hamyaŋ do, kulu nda yaadin i yadda i se i ma ngey boŋ ziibandi baaba wala nya, wala ize alboro wala waybora, wala nya fo ize alboro wala wayboro kaŋ sinda kurnye, wala baaba fo ize alboro wala wayboro kaŋ sinda kurnye do.

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

²⁶ D'a na hanandiyaŋ farilla toonandi hal a ga ye ka hanan koyne, kal i ma lasaabu a se jirbi iyye.

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.

²⁷ Han kaŋ hane a ye ka furo nangu hananta ra, sanda windo ra haray batama ra nooya, zama nga ma goy te nangu hananta ra se, kal a ma kande nga zunubi se sarga. Yaadin no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci.

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.

²⁸ I ga du tubu, ay no ga ti i tubo. Araŋ ma si i no mayray hari fo Israyla ra bo, ay no ga ti i wane mayray haro.

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

²⁹ I ga ŋwaari sargayey, da zunubi se sargayey, da taali se sargayey ŋwa. Hay kulu kaŋ i fay waani Rabbi se Israyla ra, a ga ciya i wane.

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.

³⁰ Hay kulu boŋ-jina, da sargay kulu kaŋ i ga sambu beene, hay kulu wane, araŋ sargayey kulu ra, kal i ma ciya alfagey wane. Araŋ hamney ra mo, araŋ ga alfagey no wo kaŋ ga boori nd'i kulu, zama albarka ma goro ni windo ra.

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

³¹ Alfagey ma si hay kulu kaŋ jifa, wala haŋ kaŋ ganji ham tooru-tooru ŋwa, da curayze no wala alman no.
