< Ezekiel 40 >
1 In the twenty-fifth year of our exile at the beginning of the year. on the tenth of the month in the fourteenth year, after the city was smitten, on this selfsame day, came upon me the hand of Yahweh, and he brought me thither:
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 the visions of God, he brought me into the land of Israel, —and set me down upon an exceeding high mountain, and thereupon, was, as it were the structure of a city, on the south.
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 when he brought me thither, then lo! a man whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze, with a flax-cord in his hand and measuring reed, —and he was standing in 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 spake unto me, saying. Son of man See with thine eyes And with thine ears, hear thou And apply thy heart to whatsoever I am about to show thee, For to the intent it might be shown thee, hast thou been brought hither, - Declare all that thou seest unto 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 lo a wall on the outside of the house round about on every side, —and in the hand of the man, was the measuring reed six cubits by the cubit, and a handbreadth, so he measured the breadth of the enclosing-wall, one reed, and the height one 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 Then came he unto the gate that looked toward the east, and went up by the steps thereof, —and measured the threshold of the gate one reed broad, and the other threshold one reed broad.
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 lodge was one reed long, and one reed broad, and between the lodges, was a space of five cubits, —and the threshold of the gate from beside the porch of the gate inwards, was one reed.
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 Then measured he the porch of the gate inwards, one reed.
Afei osusuw ɔpon no ntwironoo;
9 Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits, and the projections thereof two cubits, —and the porch of the gate was within,
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 lodges of the gate that was towards the east, were three on this side and three on that side, one measure, had they three, —and one measure, had the projections on this side and on that side.
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 Then measured he the breadth of the entrance of the gate, ten cubits—the length of the gate, 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 lodges was one cubit, and one cubit, the space on that side; and the lodge itself was six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.
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 Then measured he the gate, from the roof of this lodge to the roof of that, a breadth of twenty-five cubits, —entrance over against entrance.
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 Then measured he the porch, twenty cubits, —even unto the projection of the court, the lodges of the gate round about on every side;
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, from the face of the gate outwards, unto the face of the porch of the inner gate, was fifty cubits.
Ɔkwan a efi abɔntenpon abobow ano kosi ntwironoo no ti yɛ anammɔn aduɔson anum.
16 And latticed windows had the lodges, even towards their projections within the gate round about on every side, and, so, had the recesses, —and windows round about on every side inwards, and against each projection, palm trees.
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 Then he brought me into the outer court, and lo! chambers and a tesselated pavement, made to the court round about on every side, —thirty chambers against the pavement,
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 pavement, was against the side of the gates, answering to the length of the gates, —the lower pavement,
Na nsɛwee no pem apon no nkyɛn mu, na na ɛtrɛw sɛnea apon no tenten te; eyi ne ase nsɛwee no.
19 Then measured he the breadth, from the front of the lower gate, to the front of the inner court on the outside one hundred cubits, —to the east and 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 as for the gate which looked towards the north, pertaining to the outer court, he measured the length thereof, and the breadth thereof.
Afei osusuw ɔpon a ani hwɛ atifi fam na epue mfikyiri adiwo no tenten ne ne trɛw.
21 And the lodges thereof were three on this side and three on that side, and the projections thereof and the recesses thereof were according to the measure of the first gate, fifty cubits the length thereof, and, the breadth, twenty-five, by the cubit.
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 the windows thereof and the recesses thereof and the palm-trees thereof were according to the measure of the gate that looked toward the east, —and by seven steps, they ascend it, and their recesses 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 the gate to the inner court, was over against the gate, to the north and to the east, —so he measured from gate to gate. one 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 Then he took me toward the south, and lo! a gate, toward the south, —and he measured the projections thereof and the recesses thereof, according to these measures.
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 windows were there to it, and the recesses thereof round about on all sides, like these windows, —fifty cubits in length, and in breadth, 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 seven steps the ascents thereof, with its recesses within, —and it had palm trees one on this side and one on that side against the projections thereof.
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 a gate, had the inner court towards the south, —so he measured from gate to gate toward the south, a hundred cubits.
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 Yea when he brought me to the inner court through the south gate, then measured he the south 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 lodges thereof and the projections thereof and the recesses, thereof, were according to these measures, and windows, were there to it, and to the recesses thereof round about on every side, —fifty cubits in length, and in breadth, twenty and five cubits;
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 there were recesses round about on every side; —in length, five and twenty cubits, and in breadth, 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 and the recesses thereof reached unto the outer court, with palm-trees, against the projections thereof, and eight steps were the ascents thereof.
Ne ntwironoo hwɛ afikyiri adiwo hɔ; nʼafadum ho wɔ mmedua a mfoni afɛɛfɛ, na atrapoe nnidiso awotwe na wɔforo de kɔ hɔ.
32 And when he brought me unto the inner court toward the east, then measured he the gate, 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 lodges thereof and the projections thereof and the recesses thereof, according to these measures, and windows were there to it and to the recesses thereof, round about on every side, —in length fifty cubits, and in breadth, five and twenty 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 the recesses thereof reached to the outer court, with palm-trees, against the projections thereof, on this side and on that side, —and eight steps, were the ascents thereof.
Ne ntwironoo hwɛ mfimfini adiwo hɔ; nʼafadum ho wɔ mmedua mfoni afɛɛfɛ, na atrapoe nnidiso awotwe na wɔforo de kɔ hɔ.
35 And when he brought me to the north gate, then measured he 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 the lodges thereof the projections thereof and the recesses thereof, with, windows, to it round about on every side, —in length, fifty cubits, and, in breadth, five and twenty 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, the recesses thereof, [reached] unto the outer court, with, palm-trees, against the projections thereof on this side and on that side, —and, eight steps, were the ascents thereof.
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 And there was a chamber with its entrance, within the projections at the gates, — there, shall they rinse the ascending-sacrifice,
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 And in the porch of the gate, were two tables on this side, and two tables, on that side, —to slay thereon the ascending-sacrifice, and the sin-bearer, and the guilt-bearer.
Apon abien sisi abɔntenpon ntwironoo no mu, na so na wokunkum ɔhyew afɔre, bɔne afɔre ne afɔdi afɔre mmoa.
40 And at the side without, in ascending to the entrance of the north gate, were two tables, —and at the other side which pertaineth to the porch of the gate, were two tables.
Apon abien sisi ntwironoo no akyi, atrapoe no nkyɛn mu fa ne fa a ɛrekɔ atifi fam pon no ano hɔ.
41 Four tables on this side and four tables on that side by the side of the gate, -eight tables whereupon they shall slay.
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 the four tables for the ascending-offering: were of hewn stone. in length, one cubit and a half, and in breadth, one cubit and a half, and in height, one cubit, —that thereon, they may lay the instruments wherewith they shall slay the ascending-offering and the sacrifice.
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 there were hooks of three hand-breadth fastened within round about on every side, —and upon the tables, the flesh of the offering.
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 on the outside of the inner gate, were the chambers of the singers in the inner court which was at the side of the north gate, and their front was toward the south, —one, at the side of the south gate, fronting, toward 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 Then spake he unto me saying, This chamber whose front is toward the south, is for the priests keeping 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 whose front is towards the north is for the priests keeping the charge of the altar, -the same are the sons of Zadok—who draw near from among the sons of Levi unto Yahweh. to wait upon 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 Then measured he the court, the length, a hundred cubits, and the breadth, a hundred cubits foursquare, —with the altar before 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 when he brought me unto the porch of the house, then measured he the projection 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 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 the length of the porch was twenty cubits and the breadth twelve cubits, and by ten steps they ascend into it, - and there were pillars against the projections, 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.
