< Ezekiel 43 >

1 Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looks toward the east.
Na ɔbarima no de me baa apuei fam pon no ano,
2 Look, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shined with his glory.
na mihuu Israel Nyankopɔn anuonyam sɛ apue wɔ apuei fam reba. Na ne nne te sɛ asuten a ɛreworo, na asase no so hyerɛnee wɔ nʼanuonyam no mu.
3 It was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city; and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.
Anisoadehu a minyaa no te sɛnea minyaa no bere a ɔba bɛsɛee kuropɔn no ne nea minyaa wɔ Asubɔnten Kebar ho no, na mede mʼanim butuw fam.
4 The glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.
Awurade anuonyam faa ɔpon a ani kyerɛ apuei fam no mu hyɛn asɔredan no mu.
5 The Spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and look, the glory of the LORD filled the house.
Na honhom no pagyaw me de me baa mfimfini adiwo hɔ na Awurade anuonyam hyɛɛ asɔredan no ma.
6 I heard one speaking to me out of the house; and a man stood by me.
Bere a ɔbarima no gyina me ho no, metee sɛ obi rekasa fi asɔredan no mu kyerɛ me.
7 He said to me, "Son of man, this is the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever. The house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their prostitution, and by the dead bodies of their kings in their high places;
Ɔkae se, “Onipa ba, ɛha ne mʼahengua sibea ne mʼanan ntiaso. Ɛha na mɛtena wɔ Israelfo mu afebɔɔ. Israelfi rengu me din ho fi bio da; wɔn anaa wɔn ahemfo remfa wɔn aguamammɔ ne ahemfo no ahoni a nkwa nni mu a wɔwowɔ wɔn sorɔnsorɔmmea no ngu me din ho fi.
8 in their setting of their threshold by my threshold, and their doorpost beside my doorpost, and there was but the wall between me and them; and they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed: therefore I have consumed them in my anger.
Bere a wɔmaa wɔn abobow ano bɛnee me, na wɔn apongua nso bɛnee me de a na ɔfasu na etwa yɛn ntam no, wɔde wɔn akyiwadeyɛ guu me din kronkron ho fi. Ɛno nti mesɛee wɔn wɔ mʼabufuw mu.
9 Now let them put away their prostitution, and the dead bodies of their kings, far from me; and I will dwell in their midst forever.
Afei ma wonnyi wɔn aguamammɔ ne ahemfo no ahoni a wonni nkwa no mfi mʼani so, na mɛtena wɔn mu afebɔɔ.
10 "You, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.
“Onipa ba, kyerɛkyerɛ Israelfo sɛnea asɔredan no te na wɔn ani nwu wɔ wɔn bɔne ho. Ma wonsusuw ne so a enni no ho mfoni ho,
11 If they be ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the form of the house, and its fashion, and its exits, and its entrances, and all its forms, and all its ordinances, and all its forms, and all its laws; and write it in their sight; that they may keep the whole form of it, and all its ordinances, and do them.
na sɛ wɔn ani wu nea wɔayɛ ho a, twa asɔredan no mfoni kyerɛ wɔn; ne ntotoe, apon a wɔfa mu pue ne nea wɔfa kɔ mu, ne mfoni nyinaa, ho akwankyerɛ nyinaa ne mmara. Kyerɛw saa nneɛma yi wɔ wɔn anim na wɔadi me ntotoe ne ne si no mfoni no so.
12 "This is the law of the house: on the top of the mountain the whole limit around it shall be most holy. Look, this is the law of the house.
“Asɔredan no ho mmara ni: Asase a ɛda ho wɔ bepɔw no so nyinaa yɛ kronkron. Sɛɛ na asɔredan no ho mmara te.
13 "These are the measurements of the altar by units of length (each unit is the standard eighteen inches plus three inches): the bottom shall be twenty-one inches, and the breadth twenty-one inches, and its border around its edge nine inches. And this shall be the height of the altar:
“Afɔremuka no nsusuwii na edidi so yi. Ne suka mu dɔ yɛ ɔnammɔn ne fa na ne trɛw nso saa ara, na anoano hiɛ a etwa ho hyia no nso trɛw bɛyɛ nsateaa akron. Na eyi nso ne afɔremuka no tenten:
14 from the bottom on the ground to the lower ledge shall be three feet five inches, and the breadth twenty-one inches; and from the lesser ledge to the greater ledge shall be six feet eleven inches, and the breadth twenty-one inches.
Efi ne nnyinaso a esi suka no so kɔ ne soro yɛ anammɔn abiɛsa, na mu piw nso yɛ ɔnammɔn ne fa, na apa ketewa no ne apa kɛse no ntam yɛ anammɔn asia na apa no mu piw nso yɛ ɔnammɔn ne fa.
15 The upper altar shall be six feet eleven inches; and four horns project upward from the altar hearth.
Afɔremuka no wusiw tokuru no sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn asia a mmɛn anan a ano hwɛ soro tuatua ho.
16 The altar hearth shall be twenty-four feet one inch long by twenty-four feet one inch broad, square in the four sides of it.
Afɔremuka wusiw tokuru no yɛ ahinanan, na ɔfa biara yɛ anammɔn dunwɔtwe.
17 The ledge shall be twenty-four feet one inch long by twenty-four feet one inch broad in the four sides of it; and the border about it shall be ten and a half inches; and its bottom shall be twenty-one inches around; and its steps shall look toward the east."
Afɔremuka no apa a ɛwɔ soro no nso yɛ ahinanan a afanan no mu biara yɛ anammɔn aduonu baako, na kaa a ɛyɛ nsateaa akron da apa no ano na suka a atwa ho ahyia yɛ ɔnammɔn ne fa. Atrapoe a ɛkɔ afɔremuka no so no ani hwɛ apuei fam.”
18 He said to me, "Son of man, thus says the LORD: These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Onipa ba, sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Eyinom na ɛbɛyɛ nhyehyɛe a wɔbɛfa so abɔ ɔhyew afɔre ne ɔkwan a, sɛ wosi afɔremuka no wie a wɔbɛfa so de mogya apete ho:
19 You shall give to the priests the Levites who are of the offspring of Zadok, who are near to me, to minister to me, says the LORD, a young bull for a sin offering.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wode nantwi ba ma asɔfo a wɔyɛ Lewifo na wofi Sadok abusua mu na wɔba mʼanim bɛsom me no sɛ bɔne afɔrebɔde, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.
20 You shall take of its blood, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the ledge, and on the border all around: thus you shall cleanse it and make atonement for it.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wofa nantwi ba no mogya no bi na wode keka afɔremuka mmɛn anan no ho. Wode bi bɛkeka apa a ɛwɔ soro no ntwɔtwɔw so ne anoano kaa a atwa ho ahyia no ho na wɔanam so atew afɔremuka no ho de ayɛ mpata nso.
21 You shall also take the bull of the sin offering, and it shall be burnt in the appointed place of the house, outside of the sanctuary.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wofa bɔne afɔrebɔde nantwi no na wokɔhyew no wɔ asɔredan no ho faako a wɔayi ato hɔ, wɔ kronkronbea no akyi.
22 "On the second day you shall offer a male goat without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bull.
“Da a ɛto so abien no, ɛsɛ sɛ wode ɔpapo a onni dɛm ma sɛ bɔne afɔrebɔde, na ɛsɛ sɛ wodwira afɔremuka no ho sɛnea wɔde nantwi no yɛe no.
23 When you have finished cleansing it, you shall offer a young bull without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.
Sɛ wowie ho dwira a, ɛsɛ sɛ wode nantwi ba ne adwennini a wofi buw no mu a wonni dɛm bɛbɔ afɔre.
24 You shall bring them near to the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt on them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering to the LORD.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wode wɔn ba Awurade anim, na asɔfo de nkyene pete wɔn so na wɔde bɔ ɔhyew afɔre ma Awurade.
25 "Seven days you shall prepare every day a goat for a sin offering: they shall also prepare a young bull, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish.
“Ɛsɛ sɛ wode ɔpapo ba sɛ bɔne afɔrebɔde nnanson; afei ɛsɛ sɛ wode nantwi ba ne adwennini a wofi buw mu na wonni dɛm nso ba.
26 Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify it; so shall they consecrate it.
Wɔbɛyɛ mpata ama afɔremuka no nnanson de atew ho; sɛɛ na wɔbɛyɛ de asi hɔ ama dwumadi no.
27 When they have accomplished the days, it shall be that on the eighth day, and forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings on the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, says the LORD."
Saa nna yi akyi, efi da a ɛto so awotwe de rekɔ no, ɛsɛ sɛ asɔfo no de mo hyew afɔrebɔde ne asomdwoe afɔrebɔde no ba afɔremuka no so. Afei megye mo ato mu, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.”
