Hesekiel 42
1 Afei ɔbarima no dii mʼanim faa atifi fam kɔɔ mfikyiri adiwo hɔ de me baa adan a ɛne asɔredan adiwo no di nhwɛanim no mu, na ɛne atifi fam mfikyiri fasu no nso di nhwɛanim.
Then he brought me forth into the outer court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the room that was over against the separate place, and which was over against the building toward the north.
2 Ɔdan a ne pon kyerɛ atifi fam yi tenten yɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonum, na ne trɛw nso yɛ anammɔn aduɔson anum.
The length of the front at the north entrance was one hundred seventy-two feet three inches, and the breadth was eighty-six feet two inches.
3 Adan a ɛne mfimfini adiwo no ntam kwan yɛ anammɔn aduasa ne adan a ɛne mfikyiri adiwo no kwan di nhwɛanim no, ɛso mmrannaa no kyerɛkyerɛ anim wɔ asan abiɛsa no mu biara so.
Facing the inner court of thirty-four feet five inches, and facing the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery facing gallery in three stories.
4 Adan no anim no na ɔkwan bi da a ne trɛw yɛ anammɔn dunum na ne tenten yɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonum. Wɔn apon no ano kyerɛkyerɛ atifi fam.
Before the rooms was a walk of seventeen feet three inches breadth inward, a way of one hundred seventy-two feet three inches; and their doors were toward the north.
5 Adan a ɛwɔ asan a ɛwɔ soro no mu no susua, efisɛ na nʼabrannaa no mu trɛw sen mmrannaa a ɛwowɔ asan a edidi ase no.
Now the upper rooms were shorter; for the galleries took away from these, more than from the lower and the middle, in the building.
6 Adan a ɛwɔ asan a ɛto so abiɛsa no nni afadum sɛnea asan a ɛwɔ ase no wɔ no; enti na mu susua sen adan a ɛwowɔ asan a edidi ase no.
For they were in three stories, and they didn't have pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore the uppermost was straitened more than the lowest and the middle from the ground.
7 Na ɔfasu bi wɔ nkyɛn a ɛne adan no ne mfikyiri adiwo no sa so; na ne tenten yɛ anammɔn aduɔson anum a ɛfa adan no anim.
The wall that was outside by the side of the rooms, toward the outer court before the rooms, its length was eighty-six feet two inches.
8 Adan a ɛsa so na ɛtoa mfikyiri adiwo no so no tenten yɛ anammɔn aduɔson anum, nanso adan a ɛsa so a ɛbɛn kronkronbea no tenten yɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonum.
For the length of the rooms that were in the outer court was eighty-six feet two inches: and look, before the temple were one hundred seventy-two feet three inches.
9 Sɛ obi fi mfikyiri adiwo reba mu a, obehu sɛ adan a ɛwɔ fam pa ara no abobow ano ani kyerɛ apuei fam.
From under these rooms was the entry on the east side, as one goes into them from the outer court.
10 Anafo fam, wɔ mfikyiri adiwo no fasu a ɛkɔ asɔredan no adiwo, na ɛne mfikyiri fasu no di nhwɛanim no ho, na adan bi wɔ hɔ a
In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the south, before the separate place, and before the building, there were rooms.
11 ɔkwan bi da anim. Saa adan yi te sɛ adan a ɛwɔ atifi fam no; nʼatenten ne ne trɛw yɛ pɛ, ho apon a wɔfa mu pue no atenten yɛ pɛ. Apon a ɛwɔ atifi fam no
The way before them was like the appearance of the way of the rooms which were toward the north; according to their length so was their breadth: and all their exits were both according to their fashions, and according to their doors.
12 nso sesɛ adan a ɛwɔ anafo fam apon no. Na ɔpon bi wɔ ɔkwan a ɛne ɔfasu a ɛkɔ apuei fam no sa so no ano, ɛhɔ na wɔfa kɔ adan no mu.
According to the doors of the rooms that were toward the south was a door at the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall toward the east, as one enters into them.
13 Na ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Atifi fam ne anafo fam adan a ani hwɛ asɔredan adiwo no yɛ asɔfo no dea, ɛhɔ na asɔfo a wɔkɔ Awurade anim no bedi afɔrebɔde kronkron no. Ɛhɔ na wɔde afɔrebɔde kronkron pa ara a ɛyɛ aduan afɔrebɔde, bɔne afɔrebɔde ne afɔdi afɔrebɔde no begu, efisɛ beae no yɛ kronkron.
Then he said to me, "The north rooms and the south rooms, which are before the separate place, they are the holy rooms, where the cohanim who are near to Jehovah shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meal offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; for the place is holy.
14 Sɛ asɔfo no kɔ beae kronkron hɔ a ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔkɔ mfikyiri adiwo hɔ kosi sɛ wobeyiyi wɔn ɔsom ntade agu hɔ, efisɛ saa ntade no yɛ kronkron. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhyɛ ntade foforo bi ansa na wɔabɛn mmeaemmeae a ɔmanfo tumi kɔ hɔ no.”
When the cohanim enter in, then shall they not go out of the holy place into the outer court, but there they shall lay their garments in which they minister; for they are holy: and they shall put on other garments, and shall approach to that which pertains to the people."
15 Osusuw nea ɛwɔ asɔredan no mu wiee no, ɔde me faa apuei pon no ano puei, na osusuw asɔredan no hyiae.
Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it all around.
16 Ɔde susudua no susuw apuei fam; na ɛyɛ anammɔn ahanson ne aduonum.
He measured on the east side with the measuring reed eight hundred sixty-one feet three inches, with the measuring reed all around.
17 Osusuw atifi fam na ɛyɛ anammɔn ahanson ne aduonum.
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."
18 Osusuw anafo fam na ɛyɛ anammɔn ahanson ne aduonum.
He measured on the south side eight hundred sixty-one feet three inches with the measuring reed.
19 Afei ɔdan nʼani hwɛɛ atɔe fam, na osusuwii no, na ɛyɛ anammɔn ahanson ne aduonum.
He turned about to the west side, and measured eight hundred sixty-one feet three inches with the measuring reed.
20 Enti na nʼafefare mu no yɛ anammɔn ahanson ne aduonum wɔ ahinanan no nyinaa, de tew kronkronbea no ho fi kwasafo atenae no ho.
He measured it on the four sides: it had a wall around it, the length eight hundred sixty-one feet three inches, and the breadth eight hundred sixty-one feet three inches, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.
