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.

¹And he causeth me to turn back the way of the gate of the outer sanctuary that is looking eastward, and it is 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.

²And Jehovah saith unto me, `This gate is shut, it is not opened, and none doth go in by it, for Jehovah, God of Israel, hath come in by it, and it hath been shut.

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.

³The prince, who [is] prince, he sitteth by it to eat bread before Jehovah, by the way of the porch of the gate he cometh in, and by its way he goeth out.`

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.

⁴And he bringeth me in the way of the north gate unto the front of the house, and I look, and lo, filled hath the honour of Jehovah the house of Jehovah, and I fall on my face.

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.

⁵And Jehovah saith unto me, `Son of man, set thy heart, and see with thine eyes, and with thine ears hear, all that I am speaking with thee, of all the statutes of the house of Jehovah, and of all its laws; and thou hast set thy heart to the entrance of the house, with all the outlets of the sanctuary,

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

⁶and hast said unto the rebellious, unto the house of Israel: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Enough to you — of all your abominations, O house of Israel.

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;

⁷In your bringing in sons of a stranger, uncircumcised of heart, and uncircumcised of flesh, to be in My sanctuary, to pollute it, even My house, in your bringing near My bread, fat, and blood, and they break My covenant by all your abominations,

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.

⁸and ye have not kept the charge of My holy things, and ye set [them] for keepers of My charge in My sanctuary for you.

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.

⁹`Thus said the Lord Jehovah: No son of a stranger, uncircumcised of heart, and uncircumcised of flesh, cometh in unto My sanctuary, even any son of a stranger, who [is] in the midst of the sons of Israel,

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.

¹⁰but — the Levites who have gone far off from me, in the wandering of Israel when they went astray from Me after their idols, and they have borne their iniquity.

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]

¹¹And they have been in My sanctuary ministrants, overseers at the gates of the house, and ministrants at the house; they slay the burnt-offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they stand before them to serve them.

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,

¹²Because that they serve them before their idols, and have been to the house of Israel for a stumbling-block of iniquity, therefore I have lifted up my hand against them — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah — and they have borne their iniquity.

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.

¹³And they draw not nigh unto Me to act as My priest, and to draw nigh unto any of My holy things, unto the holy of holies, and they have borne their shame and their abominations that they have done,

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

¹⁴and I made them keepers of the charge of the house, for all its service and for all that is done in it.

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.

¹⁵`And the priests, the Levites, sons of Zadok, who have kept the charge of My sanctuary in the wandering of the sons of Israel from off Me, they draw near unto Me to serve Me, and have stood before Me, to bring near to Me fat and blood — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah:

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

¹⁶they come in unto My sanctuary, and they draw near unto My table to serve Me, and they have kept My charge.

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.

¹⁷And it hath come to pass, in their going in unto the gates of the inner court, linen garments they put on; and no wool cometh up on them in their ministering in the gates of the inner court and within.

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

¹⁸Linen bonnets are on their head, and linen trousers are on their loins, they are not restrained with sweat.

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.

¹⁹And in their going forth unto the outer court — unto the outer court unto the people — they strip off their garments, in which they are ministering, and have placed them in the holy chambers, and have put on other garments; and they do not sanctify the people in their own garments.

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

²⁰And their head they do not shave, and the lock they do not send forth; they certainly poll their heads.

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

²¹And no priest doth drink wine in their coming in unto the inner court.

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.

²²And a widow and divorced woman they do not take to them for wives: but — virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, and the widow who is widow of a priest, do they take.

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.

²³`And My people they direct between holy and common, and between unclean and clean they cause them to discern.

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.

²⁴And concerning controversy, they stand up for judgment; with My judgments they judge it; and My law and My statutes in all My appointed places they keep; and My sabbaths they sanctify.

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.

²⁵And unto any dead man they come not for uncleanness, but for father, and for mother, and for son, and for daughter, for brother, for sister who hath not been to a man, they defile themselves.

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

²⁶`And after his cleansing, seven days they number to him.

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.

²⁷And in the day of his coming in unto the sanctuary, unto the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he bringeth near his sin-offering — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

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

²⁸And it hath been to them for an inheritance; I [am] their inheritance: and a possession ye do not give to them in Israel; I [am] their possession.

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]

²⁹The present, and the sin-offering, and the guilt-offering, they do eat, and every devoted thing in Israel is theirs.

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.

³⁰And the first of all the first-fruits of all, and every heave-offering of all, of all your heave-offerings, are the priests`: and the first of your dough ye give to the priest, to cause a blessing to rest on thy house.

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

³¹Any carcase and torn thing, of the fowl, and of the beasts, the priests do not eat.
