Jezekiel 40
1 And it came to pass in the twenty-fifth year of our captivity, in the first month, on the tenth [day] of the month, in the fourteenth year after the taking of the city, in that day the hand of the Lord was upon me, and brought me
Yɛn nnommumfa afe a ɛto so aduonu anum, afe no mfiase, ɔsram da a ɛto so du a ɛyɛ kuropɔn no asehwe afe a ɛto so dunan no, saa da no ara no Awurade nsa baa me so, na ɔde me kɔɔ hɔ.
2 in a vision of God into the land of Israel, and set me on a very high mountain, and upon it [there was] as it were the frame of a city before [me].
Onyankopɔn anisoadehu mu no, ɔde me kɔɔ Israel asase so, na ɔde me kogyinaa bepɔw tenten bi so; nʼanafo fam no na adan bi wɔ hɔ a ɛsɛ kuropɔn bi.
3 And he brought me in there, and, behold, [there was] a man, and the appearance of him was as the appearance of shining brass, and in his hand was a builder's line, and a measuring reed; and he stood at the gate.
Ɔde me kɔɔ hɔ na mihuu ɔbarima bi a ne tebea te sɛ kɔbere mfrafrae; na ogyina ɔpon no ano, kura sirikyi hama ne susudua wɔ ne nsam.
4 And the man said to me, Look with your eyes at him whom you have seen, son of man, and hear with your ears, and lay up in your heart all things that I show you; for you have come in hither that [I] might show you, and you shall show all things that you see to the house of Israel.
Ɔbarima yi ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Onipa ba, fa wʼani hwɛ na fa wʼaso tie na biribiara a mɛkyerɛ wo no, fa wʼadwene di akyi, efisɛ ɛno nti na wɔde wo aba ha. Ka biribiara a wubehu no kyerɛ Israelfi.”
5 And behold a wall round about the house without, and in the man's hand a reed, the measure [of it was] six cubits by the cubit, and a span: and he measured across the front wall; the breadth was equal to the reed, and the length of it equal to the reed.
Mihuu ɔfasu a atwa asɔredan no afefare mu nyinaa ho ahyia. Susudua a ɛhyɛ ɔbarima no nsam no tenten yɛ anammɔn du ne fa. Osusuw ɔfasu no huu sɛ mu piw yɛ anammɔn du ne fa, na ne sorokɔ nso saa ara.
6 And he entered by seven steps into the gate that looks eastward, and he measured across the porch of the gate equal to the reed.
Afei ɔkɔɔ abɔntenpon a ɛkyerɛ apuei fam no ano. Ɔforoo nʼatrapoe no na osusuw abobow ano no, na ne trɛw yɛ susudua no baako.
7 And the chamber was equal in length to the reed, and equal in breadth to the reed; and the porch between the chambers six cubits; and the second chamber equal in breadth to the reed, and equal in length to the reed, and the porch five cubits.
Awɛmfo adan no mu biara tenten mu yɛ susudua baako na ne trɛw mu nso saa ara, afasu ntiantia a etwitwa awɛmfo adan no ntam mu piw yɛ anammɔn ason ne fa. Ntwironoo a anim kyerɛ asɔredan no abobow ano pon no trɛw yɛ susudua baako.
8 And the third chamber equal in length to the reed, and equal in breadth to the reed.
Afei osusuw ɔpon no ntwironoo;
9 And the porch of the gateway (near the porch of the gate) eight cubits; and the posts there of two cubits; and the porch of the gate was inward:
na ne tenten mu yɛ anammɔn dumien, na nʼadum mu biara nso piw yɛ anammɔn abiɛsa. Ɔpon no ntwironoo anim hwɛ asɔredan no.
10 and the chambers of the gate of the chamber in front [were] three on one side and three on the other, and [there was] one measure to the three: [there was] one measure to the porches on this side and on that.
Na awɛmfo adan abiɛsa wɔ apuei pon no benkum so ne nifa so; na ne nyinaa kɛse yɛ pɛ na afasu ntiantia a etwitwa ntam no nso mu piw yɛ pɛ.
11 And he measured the breadth of the door of the gateway, ten cubits; and the breadth of the gateway thirteen cubits.
Afei osusuw abɔntenpon no ano kwan, na ne trɛw yɛ anammɔn dunum na ne tenten mu nso yɛ anammɔn dunkron ne fa.
12 And the space before the chambers was narrowed to a cubit in front of the chambers on this side and on that side: and the chamber was six cubits this way, and six cubits that way.
Awɛmfo adan no mu biara anim wɔ ɔfasu tiaa a ne sorokɔ yɛ ɔnammɔn ne fa, na awɛmfo adan no mu biara yɛ ahinanan a ɔfa biara susuw anammɔn du ne fa.
13 And he measured the gate from the wall of one chamber to the wall of the other chamber: the breadth was twenty-five cubits, the one gate over against the other gate.
Afei osusuw ɔpon no fi awɛmfo adan no mu baako fasu a ɛwɔ akyi no atifi kosii ɔdan a ɛne no di nhwɛanim no akyi fasu no atifi; na ɔkwan a ɛda ntam yɛ anammɔn aduasa ason ne fa.
14 And the open space of the porch of the gate without, was twenty cubits to the chambers round about the gate.
Osusuw faa afasu ntiantia a etwitwa awɛmfo adan no ntam no nyinaa anim wɔ ɔpon kwan no mu, na ɛyɛɛ anammɔn aduɔkron. Nteɛmu no kosii ntwironoo a anim hwɛ adiwo hɔ no.
15 And the open space of the gate without to the open space of the porch of the gate within was fifty cubits.
Ɔkwan a efi abɔntenpon abobow ano kosi ntwironoo no ti yɛ anammɔn aduɔson anum.
16 And [there were] secret windows to the chambers, and to the porches within the gate of the court round about, and in the same manner windows to the porches round about within: and on the porch [there were] palm-trees on this side and on that side.
Awɛmfo adan ne afasu ntiantia a etwitwa wɔn ntam wɔ abɔntenpon kwan no mu no, na bammɔ mfɛnsere nketenkete atwa ho ahyia, na saa ara na ntwironoo no mu te, na ne nyinaa buebue kɔ mu. Afasu ntiatia a etwitwa awɛmfo adan no ntam no, wɔaduadua mmɛ wɔ anim fɛfɛɛfɛ.
17 And he brought me into the inner court, and, behold, [there were] chambers, and peristyles round about the court; thirty chambers within the ranges of columns.
Afei ɔde me baa adiwo a ɛda akyi hɔ no. Ɛhɔ na mihuu adan bi ne nsɛwee bi a ɛwɔ adiwo no fasu ase nyinaa; na adan no yɛ aduasa wɔ nsɛwee no ho.
18 And the porticos were behind the gates; according to the length of the gates, was the lower peristyle.
Na nsɛwee no pem apon no nkyɛn mu, na na ɛtrɛw sɛnea apon no tenten te; eyi ne ase nsɛwee no.
19 And he measured the breadth of the court, from the open space of the outer gate inwards to the open space of the gate looking outwards: a hundred cubits [was the distance to the place] of the gate looking eastward: and he brought me to the north;
Afei osusuw ɔkwan a efi ɔpon a ɛwɔ ase no anim kosii mfimfini adiwo no akyi; na ɛyɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonum wɔ apuei ne atifi fam.
20 and behold a gate looking northwards [belonging to] the outer court, and he measured it, both the length of it and the breadth;
Afei osusuw ɔpon a ani hwɛ atifi fam na epue mfikyiri adiwo no tenten ne ne trɛw.
21 and the chambers, three on this side and three on that; and the posts, and the porches, and the palm-trees thereof: and they were according to the measures of the gate that looks eastward: the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof was twenty-five cubits.
Na awɛmfo adan a abiɛsa wɔ afaafa, afasu ntiaa a etwitwa wɔn ntam ne ntwironoo no afefare mu te sɛ ɔpon a edi kan no de. Ne tenten yɛ anammɔn aduɔson anum na ne trɛw yɛ anammɔn aduasa ason ne fa.
22 And its windows, and its porches, and its palm-trees, were according to [the dimensions of] the gate looking eastward; and they went up to it by seven steps; and the porches were within.
Na ne mfɛnsere nketenkete ne ntwironoo ne mmedua a ɔde asiesie hɔ no no nsusuwii nyinaa te sɛ ɔpon a ani hwɛ apuei fam de no. Atrapoe na wɔforo de kɔ mu, atrapoe no ne ntwironoo no di nhwɛanim.
23 And [there was] a gate to the inner court looking toward the north gate, after the manner of the gate looking toward the east; and he measured the court from gate to gate, a hundred cubits.
Na ɔpon bi wɔ hɔ a ɛkɔ mfimfini adiwo a ɛne atifi fam pon no di nhwɛanim, sɛnea na ɛte wɔ apuei fam no. Osusuw fii ɔpon baako ano kosii nea ɛne no di nhwɛanim no ano; na ɛyɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonum.
24 And he brought me to the south side, and behold a gate looking southwards: and he measured it, and its chambers, and its posts, and its porches, according to these dimensions.
Afei odii mʼanim de me kɔɔ anafo fam, na mihuu ɔpon a ani hwɛ anafo fam no. Osusuw nʼadum ne ntwironoo na na nʼatenten te sɛ nkae no.
25 And its windows and its porches round about were according to the windows of the porch: the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof was five and twenty cubits.
Na mfɛnsere nketenkete wowɔ ɔpon no ne ntwironoo no ho nyinaa te sɛ mfɛnsere nketenkete a ɛwɔ nkae no ho no. Na ntwironoo no tenten yɛ anammɔn aduɔwɔtwe ason na ne trɛw yɛ anammɔn aduanan anan.
26 And it had seven steps, and porches within: and it [had] palm-trees on the posts, one on one side, and one on the other side.
Na atrapoe nnidiso ason na wɔforo kɔ ɔpon no ano, na ntwironoo no ne no di nhwɛanim; na mmedua mfoni wɔ afasu ntiantia a etwitwa awɛmfo no adan no ntam no anim wɔ nʼafanu.
27 And [there was] a gate opposite the gate of the inner court southward: and he measured the court from gate to gate, a hundred cubits in breadth southward.
Na mfimfini no adiwo nso wɔ ɔpon a ani hwɛ anafo fam, na osusuw ɔkwan a ɛda saa ɔpon yi ne abɔntenpon a ɛwɔ anafo fam no ntam; na ɛyɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonum.
28 And he brought me into the inner court of the south gate: and he measured the gate according to these measures;
Afei ɔde me faa anafo fam pon no mu baa mfimfini adiwo hɔ. Osusuw anafo fam pon no; na ne tenten nyinaa te sɛ nea aka no.
29 and the chambers, and the posts,
Nʼawɛmfo adan, afasu ntiatia a etwitwa adan no ntam ne ntwironoo no nsusuwii ne nea aka no yɛ pɛ. Na mfɛnsere nketenkete wowɔ ɔpon no ne ne ntwironoo no ho nyinaa. Na ne tenten yɛ anammɔn aduɔson anum na ne trɛw nso yɛ anammɔn aduasa ason ne fa.
30 and the porches, according to these measures: and [there were] windows to it and to the porches round about: its length was fifty cubits, and [its] breadth twenty-five cubits,
(Apon ntwironoo a atwa mfimfini adiwo no ho ahyia no mu biara tenten yɛ anammɔn aduasa ason ne fa na ne trɛw nso yɛ anammɔn ason ne fa.)
31 from the porch to the outer court: and [there were] palm-trees to the post [thereof], and eight steps.
Ne ntwironoo hwɛ afikyiri adiwo hɔ; nʼafadum ho wɔ mmedua a mfoni afɛɛfɛ, na atrapoe nnidiso awotwe na wɔforo de kɔ hɔ.
32 And he brought me in at the gate that looks eastward: and he measured it according to these measures:
Afei, ɔde me baa mfimfini adiwo hɔ wɔ apuei fam na osusuw ɔpon no; na ne tenten ne nea aka no yɛ pɛ.
33 and the chambers, and the posts, and the porches according to these measures: and [there were] windows to it, and porches round about: the length of it was fifty cubits, and the breadth of it twenty-five cubits.
Nʼawɛmfo adan, afasu ntiatia a etwitwa adan no ntam ne ntwironoo no tenten ne nea aka no yɛ pɛ. Na hɔ apon no ne ne ntwironoo nyinaa wowɔ mfɛnsere nketenkete. Na ne tenten yɛ anammɔn aduɔson anum na ne trɛw nso yɛ anammɔn aduasa ason ne fa.
34 And [there were] porches [opening] into the inner court, and palm-trees on the posts on this side and on that side: and it [had] eight steps.
Ne ntwironoo hwɛ mfimfini adiwo hɔ; nʼafadum ho wɔ mmedua mfoni afɛɛfɛ, na atrapoe nnidiso awotwe na wɔforo de kɔ hɔ.
35 And he brought me in at the northern gate, and measured [it] according to these measures;
Afei ɔde me baa atifi fam pon no ano na osusuwii. Na ne tenten ne nea aka no yɛ pɛ,
36 and the chambers, and the posts, and the porches: and it [had] windows round about, and [it had] its porches: the length of it was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits.
saa ara na nʼawɛmfo adan, afasu ntiantia a etwitwa adan no ntam ne ne ntwironoo te sɛ nkae no, na mfɛnsere nketenkete wɔ ho nyinaa. Na ne tenten yɛ anammɔn aduɔson anum na ne trɛw nso yɛ anammɔn aduasa ason ne fa.
37 And its porches were toward the inner court; and [there were] palm-trees to the posts on this side and on that side: and it [had] eight steps.
Ne ntwironoo no ani kyerɛ mfikyiri adiwo hɔ, nʼafadum no afaanu nyinaa ho wɔ mmedua a mfoni afɛɛfɛ, na atrapoe nnidiso awotwe na wɔforo de kɔ hɔ.
38 Its chambers and its door-ways, and its porches at the second gate [served as] a drain,
Ɔdan bi a ɔpon da ano bɛn ntwironoo a ɛwowɔ apon a ɛwɔ mfimfini no mu biara ho, hɔ na wɔhohoro ɔhyew afɔrebɔde ho.
39 that they might kill in it the sin-offerings, and the trespass-offerings.
Apon abien sisi abɔntenpon ntwironoo no mu, na so na wokunkum ɔhyew afɔre, bɔne afɔre ne afɔdi afɔre mmoa.
40 And behind the drain for the whole burnt offerings at the north [gate], two tables eastward behind the second gate; and [behind] the porch of the gate two tables eastward.
Apon abien sisi ntwironoo no akyi, atrapoe no nkyɛn mu fa ne fa a ɛrekɔ atifi fam pon no ano hɔ.
41 Four on one side and four on the other side behind the gate; upon them they kill the victims, in front of the eight tables of sacrifices.
Ɛno nti na apon anan sisi ɔpon no afa abien no fa biara; ne nyinaa yɛ apon awotwe a so na wokum afɔrebɔ mmoa.
42 And [there were] four tables of hewn stone for whole burnt offerings, the breadth [of them was] a cubit and a half, and the length [of them] two cubits [and] a half, and [their] height was a cubit: on them they shall place the instruments with which they kill there the whole burnt offerings and the victims.
Na abo a wɔatwa no apon anan nso wɔ hɔ ma ɔhyew afɔrebɔde. Emu biara tenten yɛ anammɔn abien ne nkyɛmu anan mu baako, na ne trɛw nso yɛ saa ara, ne sorokɔ yɛ ɔnammɔn baako ne fa. Saa apon yi so na wɔde afoa ne nkuku a wɔde yɛ ɔhyew afɔrebɔde ne afɔrebɔde a aka no ho nneɛma gu.
43 And they shall have within a border of hewn stone round about of a span broad, and over the tables above screens for covering [them] from the wet and from the heat.
Na kɔtɔkoro nta adinam a emu biara tenten yɛ nsateaakwaa abiɛsa sensɛn afasu no nyinaa ho. Apon no so na wɔde afɔrebɔ nam gu.
44 And he brought me into the inner court, and behold [there were] two chambers in the inner court, one behind the gate looking to the north, turning southward, and one behind the southern gate, but which looks to the north.
Mfimfini pon no akyi wɔ mfimfini adiwo no, na adan abien wɔ; baako bɛn atifi fam pon a ani hwɛ anafo fam, na baako nso bɛn anafo fam pon a ani kyerɛ atifi fam.
45 And he said to me, This chamber that looks to the south, is for the priests that keep the charge of the house.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Ɔdan a ɛwɔ anafo fam no yɛ asɔfo a wɔhwɛ asɔredan no so no dea,
46 And the chamber that looks to the north is for the priests that keep the charge of the altar: they are the sons of Sadduc, those of the tribe of Levi who draw near to the Lord to serve him.
Na ɔdan a ani kyerɛ atifi fam no yɛ asɔfo a wɔhwɛ afɔremuka no so no dea. Eyinom yɛ Sadok mmabarima a wɔn nko ara ne Lewifo a wotumi bɛn Awurade na wɔsom wɔ nʼanim.”
47 And he measured the court, the length [whereof was] a hundred cubits, and the breadth a hundred cubits, on its four sides; and the altar in front of the house.
Afei wosusuw adiwo no. Na ɛyɛ ahinanan a ɔfa biara tenten yɛ anammɔn ɔha aduonum. Na afɔremuka no si asɔredan no anim.
48 And he brought me into the porch of the house; and he measured the post of the porch, the breadth was five cubits on one side and five cubits on the other side; and the breadth of the door [was] fourteen cubits, and the side-pieces of the door of the porch [were] three cubits on one side, and three cubits on the other side.
Afei ɔde me baa asɔredan no ntwironoo mu, na osusuw ntwironoo no afadum, na ɔfa biara trɛw yɛ anammɔn ason ne fa. Na abobow ano no trɛw yɛ anammɔn aduonu baako ne fa. Na afasu ntiaa a epuepue ho no trɛw yɛ anammɔn anan ne fa wɔ ɔfa biara.
49 And the length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth twelve cubits; and they went up to it by ten steps; and [there were] pillars to the porch, one on this side and one on that side.
Ntwironoo no trɛw yɛ anammɔn aduasa, na efi anim kosi akyi no yɛ anammɔn dunwɔtwe. Atrapoe ntoatoaso bi na wɔforo de kɔ hɔ. Na afadum sisi ntwironoo no fa biara.
