1 Tete ŋutsu la kplɔm yi gbedoxɔ la godo, eye wòdzidze domegliawo; woƒe kekeme nye mita etɔ̃ le akpa ɖe sia ɖe.
And he brought me to the sanctuary, and measured the jambs, ten feet four inches broad on the one side, and ten feet four inches broad on the other side, which was the breadth of the jambs.
2 Ʋɔtru la nu keke mita atɔ̃, eye gli siwo le eƒe akpawo la keke mita eve kple afã. Edzidze gbedoxɔ egodotɔ la hã. Edidi mita blaeve, eye wòkeke mita ewo.
The breadth of the entrance was seventeen feet three inches; and the sides of the entrance were eight feet seven inches on the one side, and eight feet seven inches on the other side. And he measured its length, sixty-eight feet eleven inches, and the breadth, thirty-four feet five inches.
3 Azɔ la, eyi gbedoxɔ emetɔ me, eye wòdzidze ʋɔtru la ƒe domegliwo: ɖe sia ɖe keke mita ɖeka. Mɔnu la keke mita etɔ̃, eye gli siwo le eƒe axawo dzi la keke mita etɔ̃ kple afã.
Then he went into the inner room, and measured each jamb of the entrance, three feet five inches; and the entrance, ten feet four inches; and the breadth of the entrance twelve feet one inch.
4 Edzidze gbedoxɔ emetɔ ƒe didime; esia nye mita ewo, eye eƒe kekeme nye mita ewo. Egblɔ nam be, “Esiae nye Kɔkɔeƒewo ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe.”
He measured its length, thirty-four feet five inches, and the breadth, thirty-four feet five inches, before the sanctuary. And he said to me, "This is the most holy place."
5 Tete wòdzidze gbedoxɔ la ƒe gliwo; etri mita etɔ̃, eye axadzixɔ siwo ƒo xlã gbedoxɔ la, ɖe sia ɖe keke mita eve.
Then he measured the wall of the house, ten feet four inches; and the breadth of every side-room, six feet eleven inches, all around the house on every side.
6 Axadzixɔawo le ɖoɖo etɔ̃ me, ɖoɖo ɖeka le nɔvia tame, eye xɔ blaetɔ̃ le ɖoɖo ɖe sia ɖe me. Wonɔ gbedoxɔ la ƒe gliwo ŋu be, woalé axadzixɔawo ɖe asi ale be léɖeasiwo mege ɖe gbedoxɔ la ƒe gliwo me o.
The side-rooms were in three stories, one over another, thirty in each story. And there were offsets all around the wall to serve as supports for the side-rooms, so that the supports were not supported by the wall of the house.
7 Axadzixɔawo le ɖoɖo gbãtɔ me mekeke abe evelia me tɔwo ene o, eye woawo hã mekeke abe ɖoɖo etɔ̃lia me tɔwo ene o. Atrakpuiwo tso ɖoɖo gbãtɔ yi ɖoɖo etɔ̃lia to ɖoɖo titinatɔ me.
And the side-rooms were broader as they encompassed the house at each successive story, for the structure encompassing the house went upward all around the house. Therefore the breadth of the house increased as it went up, and so one went up from the lowest story to the highest by the way of the middle room.
8 Mekpɔ be woƒu kpo ƒo xlã gbedoxɔ la wòzu gɔmeɖokpe na axadzixɔawo. Ekeke abe dzidzeti la ƒe didime ene: mita etɔ̃.
I saw also that the house had a raised platform all around; the foundations of the side-rooms were a full measuring stick of ten feet four inches.
9 Axadzixɔawo ƒe gli egodotɔ tri mita eve kple afã. Teƒe si tsi anyi le axadzixɔawo
The thickness of the wall, which was for the side-rooms, on the outside, was eight feet seven inches: and that which was left was the place of the side-rooms that belonged to the house.
10 kple nunɔlawo ƒe xɔwo dome la keke mita ewo ƒo xlã gbedoxɔ la.
Between the rooms was a breadth of thirty-four feet five inches around the house on every side.
11 Ʋɔtruwo le axadzixɔawo ŋu tso teƒe si le woawo kple nunɔlawo ƒe xɔwo dome, ɖeka le anyiehe gome, eye bubu hã le dziehe gome. Teƒe sia keke mita eve kple afã ƒo xlã va kpe ɖo.
The doors of the side-rooms were toward the place that was left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south: and the breadth of the place that was left was eight feet seven inches all around.
12 Xɔ si dze ŋgɔ gbedoxɔ la ƒe xɔxɔnu le ɣetoɖoƒe lɔƒo la keke mita blaetɔ̃ vɔ atɔ̃, eye wòtri mita eve kple afã. Gli la didi mita blaene-vɔ-atɔ̃.
The building that was before the separate place at the side toward the west was one hundred twenty feet seven inches broad; and the wall of the building was eight feet seven inches thick all around, and its length one hundred fifty-five feet.
13 Azɔ la, edzidze gbedoxɔ la. Edidi mita blaatɔ̃, eye gbedoxɔ la ƒe xɔxɔnu kple xɔ la ƒe gliwo hã didi nenema ke.
So he measured the house, one hundred seventy-two feet three inches long; and the separate place, and the building, with its walls, one hundred seventy-two feet three inches long;
14 Gbedoxɔ la ƒe xɔxɔnu le ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo kple gbedoxɔ la ŋgɔ keke mita blaatɔ̃.
also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, one hundred seventy-two feet three inches.
15 Le esia megbe la, edzidze xɔ si dze ŋgɔ xɔxɔnu si le gbedoxɔ la megbe la kple dziƒoxɔ siwo le gbedoxɔ la me le akpa ɖe sia ɖe, eye wode mita blaatɔ̃. Gbedoxɔ egodotɔ kple emetɔ kple akpata si dze ŋgɔ xɔxɔnu la,
He measured the length of the building before the separate place which was at its back, and its galleries on the one side and on the other side, one hundred seventy-two feet three inches; and the inner temple, and the porches of the court;
16 kple fesre sue kple xɔmedziƒoxɔ siwo ƒo xlã nu etɔ̃awo; wofa ʋuƒo ɖe wo kple anyigba kpakple gliawo ŋu va se ɖe fesreawo te.
the thresholds, and the closed windows, and the galleries around on their three stories, over against the threshold, with wood ceilings all around, and from the ground up to the windows, (now the windows were covered),
17 Le teƒe si le gbedoxɔ emetɔ ƒe ʋɔtru tame kple gliawo ŋu le dometsotso mamlɛtɔ si ƒo xlã gbedoxɔ emetɔ kple egodotɔ ŋu la,
to the space above the door, even to the inner house, and outside, and by all the wall all around inside and outside, by measure.
18 kerubiwo kple deti siwo wokpa la li. Mo eve li na kerubi ɖe sia ɖe.
It was made with cherubim and palm trees; and a palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces;
19 Ame ƒe mo dze ŋgɔ deti la le akpa ɖeka, eye dzata ƒe mo dze ŋgɔ deti la le akpa kemɛ. Wokpa wo ɖe gliawo ŋu ƒo xlã gbedoxɔ blibo la.
so that there was the face of a man toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side. Thus was it made through all the house all around:
20 Tso anyigba yi teƒe si le ʋɔtru la tame la, wokpa kerubiwo kple detiwo ɖe gbedoxɔ egodotɔ ƒe gliwo ŋu.
from the ground to above the door were cherubim and palm trees made: thus was the wall of the temple.
21 Ʋɔtruti si le dzogoe ene me la le gbedoxɔ egodotɔ ƒe mɔnu abe esi le Kɔkɔeƒe ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la ŋgɔ ene.
As for the temple, the door posts were squared; and as for the face of the sanctuary, the appearance of it was as the appearance of the temple.
22 Ativɔsamlekpui si kɔ mita ɖeka kple afã, eye eƒe axawo didi mita ɖeka la, wowɔ eƒe dzogoewo, ete kple eƒe axawo kple ati. Ame la gblɔ nam be, “Esiae nye kplɔ̃ si le Yehowa ŋkume.”
The altar was of wood, five feet two inches high, and three feet five inches long, and three feet five inches wide; and its corners, and its base, and its walls were of wood. And he said to me, "This is the table that is before Jehovah."
23 Ʋɔtru gã evee nɔ gbedoxɔ egodotɔ kple Kɔkɔeƒe ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la nu.
The temple and the sanctuary had two doors.
24 Ʋɔtru ɖe sia ɖe ʋuna ɖe akpa eve.
The doors had two leaves apiece, two turning leaves: two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other.
25 Wokpa kerubiwo kple detiwo abe esiwo wokpa ɖe gliawo ŋuti la ene ɖe gbedoxɔ egodotɔ ƒe ʋɔtruwo ŋu, eye wotsɔ ʋuƒo wɔ agbali ɖe akpata la ŋgɔ.
There were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubim and palm trees, like as were made on the walls; and there was a threshold of wood on the face of the porch outside.
26 Fesre sue siwo ƒe akpa eveawo ŋu wokpa detiwo ɖo la, le akpata la ƒe axadzigliwo ŋu. Agbaliwo le gbedoxɔ la ƒe axadzixɔawo hã ŋu.
There were closed windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch: thus were the side-rooms of the house, and the thresholds.
