Ezekiel 42
1 Then the man led me out northward into the outer court, and he brought me to the group of chambers opposite the temple courtyard and the outer wall on the north side.
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.
2 The building with the door facing north was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide.
Ɔdan a ne pon kyerɛ atifi fam yi tenten yɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonum, na ne trɛw nso yɛ anammɔn aduɔson anum.
3 Gallery faced gallery in three levels opposite the twenty cubits that belonged to the inner court and opposite the pavement that belonged to the outer court.
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.
4 In front of the chambers was an inner walkway ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long. Their doors were on the north.
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.
5 Now the upper chambers were smaller because the galleries took more space from the chambers on the lower and middle floors of the building.
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.
6 For they were arranged in three stories, and unlike the courts, they had no pillars. So the upper chambers were set back further than the lower and middle floors.
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.
7 An outer wall in front of the chambers was fifty cubits long and ran parallel to the chambers and the outer court.
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.
8 For the chambers on the outer court were fifty cubits long, while those facing the temple were a hundred cubits long.
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.
9 And below these chambers was the entrance on the east side as one enters them from the outer court.
Sɛ obi fi mfikyiri adiwo reba mu a, obehu sɛ adan a ɛwɔ fam pa ara no abobow ano ani kyerɛ apuei fam.
10 On the south side along the length of the wall of the outer court were chambers adjoining the courtyard and opposite the building,
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
11 with a passageway in front of them, just like the chambers that were on the north. They had the same length and width, with similar exits and dimensions.
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
12 And corresponding to the doors of the chambers that were facing south, there was a door in front of the walkway that was parallel to the wall extending eastward.
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.
13 Then the man said to me, “The north and south chambers facing the temple courtyard are the holy chambers where the priests who approach the LORD will eat the most holy offerings. There they will place the most holy offerings—the grain offerings, the sin offerings, and the guilt offerings—for the place is holy.
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.
14 Once the priests have entered the holy area, they must not go out into the outer court until they have left behind the garments in which they minister, for these are holy. They are to put on other clothes before they approach the places that are for the people.”
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.”
15 Now when the man had finished measuring the interior of the temple area, he led me out by the gate that faced east, and he measured the area all around:
Osusuw nea ɛwɔ asɔredan no mu wiee no, ɔde me faa apuei pon no ano puei, na osusuw asɔredan no hyiae.
16 With a measuring rod he measured the east side to be five hundred cubits long.
Ɔde susudua no susuw apuei fam; na ɛyɛ anammɔn ahanson ne aduonum.
17 He measured the north side to be five hundred cubits long.
Osusuw atifi fam na ɛyɛ anammɔn ahanson ne aduonum.
18 He measured the south side to be five hundred cubits long.
Osusuw anafo fam na ɛyɛ anammɔn ahanson ne aduonum.
19 And he came around and measured the west side to be five hundred cubits long.
Afei ɔdan nʼani hwɛɛ atɔe fam, na osusuwii no, na ɛyɛ anammɔn ahanson ne aduonum.
20 So he measured the area on all four sides. It had a wall all around, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits wide, to separate the holy from the common.
Enti na nʼafefare mu no yɛ anammɔn ahanson ne aduonum wɔ ahinanan no nyinaa, de tew kronkronbea no ho fi kwasafo atenae no ho.
