Ezekiel 40

1 In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth [day] of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and brought me thither.

Yɛn nnommumfa afe a ɛtɔ so aduonu enum, afe no ahyɛaseɛ bosome ɛda a ɛtɔ so edu a ɛyɛ kuropɔn no asehweɛ afe a ɛtɔ so dunan no, saa ɛda no ara no Awurade nsa baa me so, na ɔde me kɔɔ hɔ.

2 In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which [was] as the frame of a city on the south.

Onyankopɔn anisoadehunu mu no, ɔde me kɔɔ Israel asase so, na ɔde me kɔgyinaa bepɔ tenten bi so; nʼanafoɔ fam no na adan bi wɔ hɔ a ɛsɛ kuropɔn.

3 And he brought me thither, and, behold, [there was] a man, whose appearance [was] like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.

Ɔde me kɔɔ hɔ na mehunuu ɔbarima bi a ne tebea te sɛ kɔbere mfrafraeɛ; na ɔgyina ɔpono no ano, kura serekye ahoma ne susudua wɔ ne nsam.

4 And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee; for to the intent that I might shew [them] unto thee [art] thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.

Ɔbarima yi ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Onipa ba, fa wʼani hwɛ na fa wʼaso tie na biribiara a merebɛkyerɛ wo no, fa wʼadwene di akyire, ɛfiri sɛ ɛno enti na wɔde wo aba ha. Ka biribiara a wobɛhunu kyerɛ Israel efie.”

5 And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed of six cubits [long] by the cubit and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.

Mehunuu ɔfasuo a atwa asɔredan no mfefaremu nyinaa ho ahyia. Susudua a ɛhyɛ ɔbarima no nsam no tenten yɛ anammɔn edu ne fa. Ɔsusuu ɔfasuo no hunuu sɛ ne pipiripie yɛ anammɔn edu ne fa, na ne ɔsorokɔ nso saa ara.

6 Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east, and went up the stairs thereof, and measured the threshold of the gate, [which was] one reed broad; and the other threshold [of the gate, which was] one reed broad.

Afei, ɔkɔɔ abɔntenpono a ɛkyerɛ apueeɛ fam no ano. Ɔforoo nʼatrapoe no na ɔsusuu aboboano na ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn edu ne fa.

7 And [every] little chamber [was] one reed long, and one reed broad; and between the little chambers [were] five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within [was] one reed.

Awɛmfoɔ adan no mu biara tentene mu yɛ anammɔn edu ne fa na ne tɛtrɛtɛ mu nso yɛ anammɔn edu ne fa. Afasuo ntiantia a ɛtwitwa awɛmfoɔ adan no ntam mu pipiripie yɛ anammɔn nson ne fa. Ntwonoo a anim kyerɛ asɔredan no aboboano ɛpono no tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn edu ne fa.

8 He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed.

Afei ɔsusuu ɛpono no ntwonoo;

9 Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate [was] inward.

na ne tentene mu yɛ anammɔn dumienu, na nʼadum mu biara nso pipiripie yɛ anammɔn mmiɛnsa. Ɛpono no ntwonoo anim hwɛ asɔredan no.

10 And the little chambers of the gate eastward [were] three on this side, and three on that side; they three [were] of one measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side.

Na awɛmfoɔ adan mmiɛnsa mmiɛnsa wɔ apueeɛ ɛpono no benkum so ne nifa so; na ne nyinaa kɛseɛ yɛ pɛ na afasuo ntiantia a ɛtwitwa ntam no nso pipiripie yɛ pɛ.

11 And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits; [and] the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.

Afei ɔsusuu abɔntenpono no ano ɛkwan, na ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn dunum na ne tentene mu nso yɛ anammɔn dunkron ne fa.

12 The space also before the little chambers [was] one cubit [on this side], and the space [was] one cubit on that side: and the little chambers [were] six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.

Awɛmfoɔ adan no mu biara anim wɔ ɔfasuo tiawa a ne sorokɔ yɛ ɔnamɔn ne fa, na awɛmfoɔ adan no mu biara yɛ ahinanan a ɔfa biara susu anammɔn edu ne fa.

13 He measured then the gate from the roof of [one] little chamber to the roof of another: the breadth [was] five and twenty cubits, door against door.

Afei ɔsusuu ɛpono no firi awɛmfoɔ adan no mu baako ɔfasuo a ɛwɔ akyire no atifi kɔsii ɛdan a ɛne no di nhwɛanim no akyire ɔfasuo atifi; na ɛkwan a ɛda ntam yɛ anammɔn aduasa nson ne fa.

14 He made also posts of threescore cubits, even unto the post of the court round about the gate.

Ɔsusu faa afasuo ntiantia a ɛtwitwa awɛmfoɔ adan no ntam no nyinaa anim wɔ ɛpono ɛkwan no mu, na ɛyɛɛ anammɔn aduɔkron. Ntenemu no kɔsii ntwonoo a anim hwɛ adihɔ hɔ no.

15 And from the face of the gate of the entrance unto the face of the porch of the inner gate [were] fifty cubits.

Ɛkwan a ɛfiri abɔntenpono aboboano kɔsi ntwonoo no tire yɛ anammɔn aduɔson enum.

16 And [there were] narrow windows to the little chambers, and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches: and windows [were] round about inward: and upon [each] post [were] palm trees.

Awɛmfoɔ adan ne afasuo ntiantia a ɛtwitwa wɔn ntam wɔ abɔntenpono ɛkwan no mu no, na banbɔ mpomma nketenkete atwa ho ahyia, na saa ara na ntwonoo no mu teɛ, na ne nyinaa buebue kɔ mu. Afasuo ntiatia a ɛtwitwa awɛmfoɔ adan no ntam no, wɔakurukyire mmɛdua de asiesie anim.

17 Then brought he me into the outward court, and, lo, [there were] chambers, and a pavement made for the court round about: thirty chambers [were] upon the pavement.

Afei ɔde me baa adihɔ a ɛda akyire hɔ. Ɛhɔ na mehunuu adan bi ne aboɔ nsɛweeɛ bi a ɛwɔ mfikyire adihɔ no ɔfasuo ase nyinaa; na adan no yɛ aduasa wɔ aboɔ nsɛweeɛ no akyi.

18 And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the length of the gates [was] the lower pavement.

Na aboɔ nsɛweeɛ no trɛ firi apono no anim, na na ne tɛtrɛtɛ te sɛ ntwonoo no a ɛhyɛn adihɔ no tɛtrɛtɛ; yei ne aseɛ nsɛweeɛ no.

19 Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate unto the forefront of the inner court without, an hundred cubits eastward and northward.

Afei ɔsusuu ɛkwan a ɛfiri nhyɛnmu ɛpono a ɛdi ɛkan no de kɔsii ɛpono a ɛwɔ Kronkronbea no anim wɔ atifi fam; na ɛyɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonum firi apueeɛ de kɔsi atifi fam.

20 And the gate of the outward court that looked toward the north, he measured the length thereof, and the breadth thereof.

Afei ɔsusuu ɛpono a ani hwɛ atifi fam na ɛpue mfikyire adihɔ no tentene ne ne tɛtrɛtɛ.

21 And the little chambers thereof [were] three on this side and three on that side; and the posts thereof and the arches thereof were after the measure of the first gate: the length thereof [was] fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.

Na awɛmfoɔ adan a mmiɛnsa wɔ afaafa, afasuo ntiawa a ɛtwitwa wɔn ntam ne ntwonoo no mfefaremu te sɛ ɔpono a ɛdi ɛkan no deɛ. Na ne tenten yɛ anammɔn aduɔson enum na ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn aduasa nson ne fa.

22 And their windows, and their arches, and their palm trees, [were] after the measure of the gate that looketh toward the east; and they went up unto it by seven steps; and the arches thereof [were] before them.

Na ne mpomma nketenkete ne ntwonoo ne mmɛdua a wɔakurukyire no nsusuwiiɛ nyinaa te sɛ ɛpono a ani hwɛ apueeɛ fam no deɛ. Atwedeɛ nnidisoɔ nson na wɔforo de kɔ mu. Atwedeɛ no ne ntwonoo no di nhwɛanim.

23 And the gate of the inner court [was] over against the gate toward the north, and toward the east; and he measured from gate to gate an hundred cubits.

Na ɛpono bi wɔ hɔ a ɛkɔ mfimfini adihɔ a ɛne atifi fam ɛpono no di nhwɛanim, sɛdeɛ na ɛteɛ wɔ apueeɛ fam no. Ɔsusu firii ɛpono baako ano kɔsii deɛ ɛne no di nhweanim no ano; na ɛyɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonum.

24 After that he brought me toward the south, and behold a gate toward the south: and he measured the posts thereof and the arches thereof according to these measures.

Afei ɔdii mʼanim de me kɔɔ anafoɔ fam, na mehunuu ɛpono a ani hwɛ anafoɔ fam no. Ɔsusuu nʼadum ne ntwonoo no, na wɔn nsusuiɛ te sɛ nkaeɛ no.

25 And [there were] windows in it and in the arches thereof round about, like those windows: the length [was] fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.

Na ɛpono no ne ntwonoo no ho wowɔ mpomma nketenkete wɔ ho nyinaa te sɛ mpomma nketenkete a ɛwɔ nkaeɛ no ho no. Na ntwonoo no tentene yɛ anammɔn aduɔwɔtwe nson na ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn aduanan ɛnan.

26 And [there were] seven steps to go up to it, and the arches thereof [were] before them: and it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon the posts thereof.

Atwedeɛ nnidisoɔ nson na wɔforo kɔ ɛpono no ano, na ne ntwonoo no ne no di nhwɛanim; na mmɛdua mfoni wɔ afasuo ntiantia a ɛtwitwa awɛmfoɔ no adan no ntam no anim wɔ nʼafanu.

27 And [there was] a gate in the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south an hundred cubits.

Na mfimfini adihɔ nso wɔ ɛpono a ani hwɛ anafoɔ fam, na ɔsusuu ɛkwan a ɛda saa ɛpono yi ne abɔntenpono a ɛwɔ anafoɔ fam no ntam; na ɛyɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonum.

28 And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he measured the south gate according to these measures;

Afei, ɔde me faa anafoɔ fam ɛpono no mu baa mfimfini adihɔ hɔ. Ɔsusuu anafoɔ fam ɛpono no; na ne nsusuiɛ no nyinaa te sɛ deɛ aka no.

29 And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, according to these measures: and [there were] windows in it and in the arches thereof round about: [it was] fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.

Nʼawɛmfoɔ adan, afasuo ntiatia a ɛtwitwa adan no ntam ne ntwonoo no nsusuiɛ ne deɛ aka no yɛ pɛ. Na ɛpono no ne ne ntwonoo wowɔ mpomma nketenkete wɔ ho nyinaa. Na ne tentene yɛ anammɔn aduɔson enum na ne tɛtrɛtɛ nso yɛ anammɔn aduasa nson ne fa.

30 And the arches round about [were] five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad.

(Ɛpono no ntwonoo a wɔde kɔ mfimfini adihɔ no tentene yɛ anammɔn aduasa nson na ne tɛtrɛtɛ nso yɛ anammɔn nson ne fa.)

31 And the arches thereof [were] toward the utter court; and palm trees [were] upon the posts thereof: and the going up to it [had] eight steps.

Ɛpono no hwɛ mfikyire adihɔ hɔ; nʼafadum ho wɔ mmɛdua a wɔakurukyire, na atrapoe nnidisoɔ nwɔtwe na wɔforo de kɔ hɔ.

32 And he brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the gate according to these measures.

Afei, ɔde me baa mfimfini adihɔ hɔ wɔ apueeɛ fam na ɔsusuu ɛpono no; na ne nsusuiɛ ne deɛ aka no yɛ pɛ.

33 And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, [were] according to these measures: and [there were] windows therein and in the arches thereof round about: [it was] fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.

Nʼawɛmfoɔ adan, afasuo ntiatia a ɛtwitwa adan no ntam ne ntwonoo no nsusuiɛ ne deɛ aka no yɛ pɛ. Na ɛpono no ne ne ntwonoo wowɔ mpomma nketenkete wɔ ho nyinaa. Na ne tentene yɛ anammɔn aduɔson enum na ne tɛtrɛtɛ nso yɛ anammɔn aduasa nson ne fa.

34 And the arches thereof [were] toward the outward court; and palm trees [were] upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up to it [had] eight steps.

Ne ntwonoo hwɛ mfimfini adihɔ hɔ; nʼafadum ho wɔ mmɛdua a wɔakurukyire, na atrapoe nnidisoɔ nwɔtwe na wɔforo de kɔ hɔ.

35 And he brought me to the north gate, and measured [it] according to these measures;

Afei ɔde me baa atifi fam ɛpono no ano na ɔsusuiɛ. Na ne nsusuiɛ no ne deɛ aka no yɛ pɛ,

36 The little chambers thereof, the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, and the windows to it round about: the length [was] fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.

saa ara na nʼawɛmfoɔ adan, afasuo ntiantia a ɛtwitwa adan no ntam ne ne ntwonoo tɛ sɛ nkaeɛ no, ɛnna mpomma nketenkete wɔ ɛho nyinaa. Na ne tentene yɛ anammɔn aduɔson enum, na ne tɛtrɛtɛ nso yɛ anammɔn aduasa nson ne fa.

37 And the posts thereof [were] toward the utter court; and palm trees [were] upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up to it [had] eight steps.

Ne ntwonoo no ani kyerɛ mfikyire adihɔ hɔ, nʼafadum no afaanu nyinaa ho wɔ mmɛdua a wɔakurukyire, na atrapoe nnidisoɔ nwɔtwe na wɔforo de kɔ hɔ.

38 And the chambers and the entries thereof [were] by the posts of the gates, where they washed the burnt offering.

Ɛdan bi a ɛpono da ano bɛn ntwonoo a ɛwowɔ apono a ɛwɔ mfimfini no mu biara ho. Ɛhɔ na wɔhohoro ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ ho.

39 And in the porch of the gate [were] two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slay thereon the burnt offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering.

Apono mmienu sisi abɔntenpono ntwonoo mu, na ɛso na wɔkunkum ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ, bɔne afɔdeɛ ne afɔdie afɔdeɛ mmoa.

40 And at the side without, as one goeth up to the entry of the north gate, [were] two tables; and on the other side, which [was] at the porch of the gate, [were] two tables.

Ntwonoo no akyi, atrapoe no nkyɛn mu fa ne fa a ɛrekɔ atifi fam ɛpono no ano no, na apono mmienu sisi hɔ.

41 Four tables [were] on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon they slew [their sacrifices].

Ɛno enti ɛpono no afa mmienu no, na apono ɛnan sisi ɛfa biara; ne nyinaa yɛ apono nwɔtwe a ɛso na wɔkum mmoa afɔrebɔdeɛ.

42 And the four tables [were] of hewn stone for the burnt offering, of a cubit and an half long, and a cubit and an half broad, and one cubit high: whereupon also they laid the instruments wherewith they slew the burnt offering and the sacrifice.

Aboɔ a wɔatwa apono ɛnan wɔ hɔ ma ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ. Emu biara tentene yɛ anammɔn mmienu ne fa, na ne tɛtrɛtɛ nso yɛ saa ara, ne sorokɔ yɛ ɔnamɔn baako ne fa. Saa apono yi so na wɔde asekan ne nkukuo a wɔde yɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ ne afɔrebɔdeɛ a aka mmoa ho adwuma guo.

43 And within [were] hooks, an hand broad, fastened round about: and upon the tables [was] the flesh of the offering.

Na kɔtɔkorɔ nta adinam a emu biara tentene yɛ nsateakwaa mmiɛnsa sensɛn afasuo no nyinaa ho. Apono no so na wɔde afɔrebɔ ɛnam guo.

44 And without the inner gate [were] the chambers of the singers in the inner court, which [was] at the side of the north gate; and their prospect [was] toward the south: one at the side of the east gate [having] the prospect toward the north.

Mfimfini ɛpono no akyi wɔ mfimfini adihɔ no, na adan mmienu wɔ hɔ; baako bɛn atifi fam ɛpono a ani hwɛ anafoɔ fam, na baako nso bɛn anafoɔ fam ɛpono a ani kyerɛ atifi fam.

45 And he said unto me, This chamber, whose prospect [is] toward the south, [is] for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house.

Ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Ɛdan a ɛwɔ anafoɔ fam no, asɔfoɔ a wɔhwɛ asɔredan no so no dea,

46 And the chamber whose prospect [is] toward the north [is] for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these [are] the sons of Zadok among the sons of Levi, which come near to the LORD to minister unto him.

Na ɛdan a ani kyerɛ atifi fam no yɛ asɔfoɔ a wɔhwɛ afɔrebukyia no so no dea. Yeinom yɛ Sadok mmammarima a wɔn nko ara ne Lewifoɔ a wɔtumi bɛn Awurade na wɔsom wɔ nʼanim.”

47 So he measured the court, an hundred cubits long, and an hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar [that was] before the house.

Afei wɔsusuu adihɔ no. Na ɛyɛ ahinanan a ɛfa biara tentene yɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonum. Na afɔrebukyia no si asɔredan no anim.

48 And he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured [each] post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate [was] three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side.

Afei ɔde me baa asɔredan no ntwonoo mu, na ɔsusuu ntwonoo no afadum, na ɛfa biara tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn nson ne fa. Na aboboano no tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn aduonu baako. Na afasuo ntiawa a epuepue anim no yɛ anammɔn ɛnan ne fa wɔ nʼafanu.

49 The length of the porch [was] twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; and [he brought me] by the steps whereby they went up to it: and [there were] pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.

Ntwonoo no tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn aduasa, na ɛfiri anim kɔsi akyire yɛ anammɔn dunwɔtwe. Atwedeɛ nnidisoɔ edu bi na wɔforo de kɔ hɔ. Na adum sisi ntwonoo no afadum no fa biara.
