Hesekiel 46

1 “‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔto mfimfini adihɔ ɛpono a ani hwɛ apueeɛ no mu nnafua nsia a wɔde yɛ adwuma, nanso Homeda ne Ɔbosome Foforɔ ɛda no deɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔma ano da hɔ.

"Thus says Jehovah: 'The gate of the inner court that looks toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the Sabbath day it shall be opened, and on the day of the new moon it shall be opened.

2 Ɔhene no bɛfiri mfikyire awura ɛpono no ntwonoo mu na wabɛgyina aponnwa no ho. Asɔfoɔ no de ne hyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ ne asomdwoeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ bɛbɔ afɔdeɛ. Ɔbɛsɔre wɔ ɛpono no aboboano na wasane apue, nanso wɔrento ɛpono no mu kɔsi anwummerɛ.

The prince shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate outside, and shall stand by the post of the gate; and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.

3 Home nna ne ɔbosome foforɔ nna no, ɛsɛ sɛ asase no sofoɔ sɔre wɔ Awurade anim wɔ ɛpono no aboboano.

The people of the land shall worship at the door of that gate before Jehovah on the Sabbaths and on the new moons.

4 Afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhene no de brɛ Awurade wɔ Homeda no yɛ nnwammaa nsia ne odwennini baako a wɔn mu biara ho nni dɛm.

The burnt offering that the prince shall offer to Jehovah shall be on the Sabbath day six lambs without blemish and a ram without blemish;

5 Aduane afɔrebɔdeɛ a wɔde ka odwennini no ho yɛ kilogram dunsia, na deɛ wɔde ka nnwammaa no ho yɛ deɛ ɛsɔ ani, na ɔde ngo lita ɛnan ka aduane kilogram dunsia biara ho.

and the meal offering shall be an ephah for the ram, and the meal offering for the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

6 Ɔbosome Foforɔ ɛda no, ɔmfa nantwie ba a ɔyɛ ɔnini, nnwammaa nsia ne nnwennini a wɔn mu biara nnii dɛm mmra.

On the day of the new moon it shall be a young bull without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram; they shall be without blemish:

7 Ɔmfa atokoɔ kilogram dunsia nka nantwinini no ho ne nnwennini no nso saa ara, na nnwammaa no deɛ, ɔmfa atokoɔ dodoɔ a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔde ma. Ɔmfa ngo lita ɛnan nka atokoɔ kilogram dunsia biara ho mmra sɛ aduane afɔrebɔdeɛ.

and he shall prepare a meal offering, an ephah for the bull, and an ephah for the ram, and for the lambs according as he is able, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

8 Na sɛ ɔhene no rebɛhyɛne mu a, ɔmfa ɛpono no ntwonoo no mu, na ɛsɛ sɛ ɛhɔ ara na ɔfa de firi adi.

When the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and he shall go forth by its way.

9 “‘Na sɛ asase no sofoɔ ba Awurade anim apontoɔ nna no a, deɛ ɔbɛfa atifi ɛpono no mu akɔ mu akɔsɔre no, ɔmfa anafoɔ ɛpono no mu mfiri adi; saa ara na deɛ ɔfa anafoɔ ɛpono mu kɔ mu no nso, ɔmfa atifi ɛpono no mu mfiri adi. Ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara sane fa ɛpono a ɔfaa mu hyɛnee mu no mu firi adi.

"'But when the people of the land shall come before Jehovah in the appointed feasts, he who enters by the way of the north gate to worship shall go forth by the way of the south gate; and he who enters by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate by which he came in, but shall go forth straight before him.

10 Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhene no fra wɔn mu; ɔne wɔn bɛba mu na ɔne wɔn afiri adi.

The prince, when they go in, shall go in with of them; and when they go out, he shall go out.

11 “‘Afahyɛ ne apontoɔ nna no, aduane afɔrebɔdeɛ no nyɛ nantwinini baako ne atokoɔ kilogram dunsia, nnwennini ne atokoɔ kilogram dunsia, na nnwammaa no deɛ atokoɔ dodoɔ ɛsɔ ani na ɔde bɛka ho, na ngo lita ɛnan ka atokoɔ kilogram dunsia biara ho.

"'In the feasts and in the solemnities the meal offering shall be an ephah for a bull, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

12 “‘Ɛberɛ biara a ɔhene no bɛfiri ne pɛ mu abɔ afɔdeɛ ama Awurade no, sɛ ɛyɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ anaa asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbue ɛpono a ɛkyerɛ apueeɛ no ma no. Ɔbɛbɔ ne ɔhyeɛ anaa ne asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ no sɛdeɛ ɔyɛ no wɔ Homeda no. Afei ɔbɛfiri adi na ɛno akyi wɔbɛto ɛpono no mu.

When the prince shall prepare a freewill offering, a burnt offering or peace offerings as a freewill offering to Jehovah, one shall open for him the gate that looks toward the east; and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he does on the Sabbath day: then he shall go forth; and after his going forth one shall shut the gate.

13 “‘Da biara da, anɔpa biara, ɛsɛ sɛ wode odwammaa a wadi afe na ɔnni dɛm bɛbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ma Awurade.

"'You shall prepare a lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt offering to Jehovah daily: morning by morning you shall prepare it.

14 Anɔpa biara ɛsɛ sɛ wobɔ aduane afɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ atokoɔ kilogram mmiɛnsa ne ngo lita baako ne fa a wɔde bɛfɔre esiam no. Aduane afɔdeɛ a wɔbɔ ma Awurade yi yɛ nhyehyɛeɛ a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa.

You shall prepare a meal offering with it morning by morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of a hin of oil, to moisten the fine flour; a meal offering to Jehovah continually by a perpetual ordinance.

15 Ɛno enti wɔde odwammaa ne atokoɔ afɔrebɔdeɛ ne ngo no bɛma anɔpa biara sɛ daa ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ.

Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meal offering, and the oil, morning by morning, for a continual burnt offering.'

16 “‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Sɛ ɔhene no de nʼagyapadeɛ no mu bi kyɛ ne mmammarima no mu bi a, ɛbɛyɛ nʼasefoɔ dea na ɛyɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ.

"Thus says Jehovah: 'If the prince give a gift to any of his sons, it is his inheritance, it shall belong to his sons; it is their possession by inheritance.

17 Nanso sɛ ɔde nʼagyapadeɛ no mu bi kyɛ nʼasomfoɔ no mu bi a, ɛbɛyɛ ɔsomfoɔ no dea kɔsi nʼahofadie afe. Ɛno akyi ɛbɛsane abɛyɛ ɔhene no dea. Nʼagyapadeɛ yɛ ne mmammarima nko ara dea.

But if he give of his inheritance a gift to one of his servants, it shall be his to the year of liberty; then it shall return to the prince; but as for his inheritance, it shall be for his sons.

18 Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔhene no gye nnipa no agyapadeɛ biara, pam wɔn firi wɔn asase so. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔma ne mmammarima agyapadeɛ firi ɔno ankasa ahodeɛ mu, sɛdeɛ me nkurɔfoɔ mu biara remfiri nʼasase so.’”

Moreover the prince shall not take of the people's inheritance, to thrust them out of their possession; he shall give inheritance to his sons out of his own possession, that my people not be scattered every man from his possession.'"

19 Afei, ɔbarima no de me faa ɛkwan a ɛda ɛpono no nkyɛnmu a ɛkɔ adan kronkron a ɛkyerɛ atifi fam no, deɛ ɛyɛ asɔfoɔ no dea no, na ɔkyerɛɛ me beaeɛ bi a ɛwɔ atɔeɛ fam.

Then he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy rooms for the priests, which looked toward the north: and look, there was a place at the far western end.

20 Ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ: “Ɛha ne beaeɛ a asɔfoɔ no bɛnoa afɔdie afɔrebɔdeɛ ne bɔne afɔrebɔdeɛ na wɔato atokoɔ afɔrebɔdeɛ, sɛdeɛ wɔremfa mma mfikyire adihɔ hɔ mmɛdwira nkurɔfoɔ no ho.”

He said to me, "This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, and where they shall bake the meal offering; that they not bring them forth into the outer court, to sanctify the people."

21 Ɔde me baa adihɔ a ɛwɔ afikyire hɔ no na ɔdii mʼanim de me kɔɔ ne ntweaso ɛnan no so, na mehunuu adihɔ foforɔ wɔ ntwea biara so.

Then he brought me forth into the outer court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and look, in every corner of the court there was a court.

22 Mfikyire adihɔ no ntweaso ɛnan no mu biara wɔ adihɔ a ɛhyɛ mu a ne tentene yɛ anammɔn aduosia na ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn aduanan enum; na saa adihɔ yi nyinaa kɛseɛ yɛ pɛ.

In the four corners of the court there were courts enclosed, sixty-eight feet eleven inches long and fifty-one feet eight inches broad: these four in the corners were of one measure.

23 Afasuo no mu biara anim no na wɔahyehyɛ aboɔ de aseɛ no ayɛ bukyia wɔ afaafa nyinaa.

There was a wall around in them, around the four, and boiling places were made under the walls all around.

24 Ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Yeinom ne mukaase a wɔn a wɔsom wɔ asɔredan mu no bɛnoa nkurɔfoɔ no afɔrebɔdeɛ.”

Then he said to me, "These are the boiling houses, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people."
