< Ezekiel 45 >

1 “When you divide the land by lot as an inheritance, you are to set aside a portion for the LORD, a holy portion of the land 25,000 cubits long and 20,000 cubits wide. This entire tract of land will be holy.
“‘Ne miema anyigba la abe domenyinu ene la, ele be miana anyigba la ƒe akpa aɖe Aƒetɔ Yehowa abe teƒe kɔkɔe ene, wòadidi mita akpe wuietɔ̃ wòakeke mita akpe wuiɖeke, eye teƒe la katã nanye teƒe kɔkɔe.
2 Within this area there is to be a section for the sanctuary 500 cubits square, with 50 cubits around it for open land.
Eƒe akpa aɖe si ƒe didime kple kekeme siaa anye mita alafa eve blaade-vɔ-atɔ̃, anye kɔkɔeƒe la tɔ, eye woaɖe mita blaeve-vɔ-adre le eŋu aƒo xlãe godoo hena gbadzaƒe la.
3 From this holy portion, you are to measure off a length of 25,000 cubits and a width of 10,000 cubits, and in it will be the sanctuary, the Most Holy Place.
Le anyigba la ƒe teƒe kɔkɔe la ŋu la, midzidze akpa aɖe wòadidi mita akpe wuietɔ̃, eye wòakeke mita akpe atɔ̃ alafa etɔ̃. Afi siae Kɔkɔeƒe si nye Kɔkɔeƒewo ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la anɔ.
4 It will be a holy portion of the land to be used by the priests who minister in the sanctuary, who draw near to minister before the LORD. It will be a place for their houses, as well as a holy area for the sanctuary.
Anye anyigba la ƒe akpa kɔkɔe na nunɔlawo, ame siwo wɔa subɔsubɔdɔwo le Kɔkɔeƒe la, eye wotena vana be woasubɔ le Yehowa ŋkume. Anye teƒe na woƒe aƒewo kple Kɔkɔeƒe la siaa.
5 An adjacent area 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide shall belong to the Levites who minister in the temple; it will be their possession for towns in which to live.
Teƒe aɖe si adidi mita akpe wuietɔ̃, eye wòakeke mita akpe atɔ̃ alafa etɔ̃ la, anye Levitɔ siwo subɔna le gbedoxɔ me la tɔ be woanɔ le duwo me.
6 As the property of the city, you are to set aside an area 5,000 cubits wide and 25,000 cubits long, adjacent to the holy district. It will belong to the whole house of Israel.
“‘Ele na mi be miatsɔ anyigba si keke mita akpe eve alafa adre, eye wòdidi mita akpe wuietɔ̃ alafa atɔ̃ la ana du gã la abe etɔ ene, eye wòatɔ ɖe teƒe kɔkɔe la ŋu. Anye Israel ƒe aƒe blibo la tɔ.
7 Now the prince will have the area bordering each side of the area formed by the holy district and the property of the city, extending westward from the western side and eastward from the eastern side, running lengthwise from the western boundary to the eastern boundary and parallel to one of the tribal portions.
“‘Fiaviŋutsu la axɔ anyigba le teƒe kɔkɔe la kple du gã la ƒe anyigba dome. Aɖo ta ɣetoɖoƒe lɔƒo tso ɣedzeƒekpa dzi, eye eƒe didime ato ɣetoɖoƒekpa dzi ayi ɣedzeƒeliƒo la dzi anɔ axadzi na to ɖeka ƒe anyigba.
8 This land will be his possession in Israel. And My princes will no longer oppress My people, but will give the rest of the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes.
Teƒe sia anye etɔ le Israel. Nye fiaviŋutsuwo magate nye amewo ɖe to o, ke boŋ woaɖe mɔ na Israel ƒe aƒe la be anyigba la nanye wo tɔ le woƒe towo nu.
9 For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Enough, O princes of Israel! Cease your violence and oppression, and do what is just and right. Stop dispossessing My people, declares the Lord GOD.’
“‘Nya si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “Esɔ gbɔ na mi azɔ, O! Israel ƒe fia ŋutsuviwo! Miɖe asi le miaƒe nuveviwɔame kple miaƒe ameteteɖeto ŋuti, miawɔ nu si le dzɔdzɔe, eye wònyo. Midzudzɔ nuwo xɔxɔ le nye amewo si,” Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.
10 You must use honest scales, a just ephah, and a just bath.
Ele na mi be miawɔ nudanu dzɔdzɔewo ŋu dɔ, nudanu kple nudzidzenu si de.
11 The ephah and the bath shall be the same quantity so that the bath will contain a tenth of a homer, and the ephah a tenth of a homer; the homer will be the standard measure for both.
Lolome ɖeka nanɔ dzidzenu si wotsɔ dzidzea nu siwo menye tsinuwo o kple dzidzenu si wotsɔ dzidzea tsinuwo la si. Dzidzenu si wotsɔ dzidzea tsinuwo la nanye galɔn ene eye dzidzenu si wotsɔ dzidzea nu siwo menye tsinuwo o la hã nanye galɔn ene eye wòanye dzidzenu ɖeka si dzi woda asi ɖo la na dzidzenu eveawo.
12 The shekel will consist of twenty gerahs. Twenty shekels plus twenty-five shekels plus fifteen shekels will equal one mina.
Woada ga home ɖe sia ɖe woasɔ ɖe dzidzenu.
13 This is the contribution you are to offer: a sixth of an ephah from each homer of wheat, and a sixth of an ephah from each homer of barley.
“‘Esiae nye nu tɔxɛ si miana, lu kilogram etɔ̃ tso lu kotoku ɖe sia ɖe me kple ƒo kilogram eve tso ƒo kotoku ɖe sia ɖe me.
14 The prescribed portion of oil, measured by the bath, is a tenth of a bath from each cor (a cor consists of ten baths or one homer, since ten baths are equivalent to a homer).
Woadzidze ami si woana la kple dzidzenu si wotsɔ dzidzea tsinu, eye woanye dzidzenu si wotsɔ dzidzea tsinuwo la ƒe si nye galɔn ene.
15 And one sheep shall be given from each flock of two hundred from the well-watered pastures of Israel. These are for the grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings, to make atonement for the people, declares the Lord GOD.
Kpe ɖe esiawo ŋu la, woana alẽ ɖeka tso alẽ alafa eve ƒe alẽha me tso gbeɖuƒe siwo tsi bɔ ɖo le Israel. Woawɔ esiawo ŋu dɔ hena nuɖuvɔsawo, numevɔsawo kple akpedavɔsawo, be woalé avu ɖe ameawo nu. Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.
16 All the people of the land must participate in this contribution for the prince in Israel.
Anyigba la dzi tɔwo katã ana nunana tɔxɛ sia hena Israel ƒe fiaviŋutsu la ƒe ŋu dɔ wɔwɔ.
17 And it shall be the prince’s part to provide the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings for the feasts, New Moons, and Sabbaths—for all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel. He will provide the sin offerings, grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings to make atonement for the house of Israel.
Anye fiaviŋutsu la ƒe dɔdeasi be wòana nu hena numevɔsawo, nuɖuvɔsawo kple nunovɔsawo le Ɣleti Yeye kple Dzudzɔgbewo ƒe ŋkekenyuiwo dzi, hekpe ɖe Israel ƒe aƒe la ƒe ŋkekenyui ɖoɖiwo ŋuti. Ana nu hena nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsawo, nuɖuvɔsawo, numevɔsawo kple akpedavɔsawo ne woalé avu ɖe Israel ƒe aƒe la nu.
18 This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘On the first day of the first month you are to take a young bull without blemish and purify the sanctuary.
“‘Nya si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Le ɣleti gbãtɔ me, le ŋkeke gbãtɔa gbe la, ele na mi be miatsɔ nyitsu fɛ̃ ɖeka si ŋu kpɔtsɔtsɔ aɖeke mele o la, eye miakɔ Kɔkɔeƒe la ŋu.
19 And the priest is to take some of the blood from the sin offering and put it on the doorposts of the temple, on the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and on the gateposts of the inner court.
Nunɔla la aku nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsalã la ƒe ʋu aɖe asisi ɖe gbedoxɔ la ƒe ʋɔtrutiwo ŋu kple vɔsamlekpui la ƒe kɔwo ƒe dzogoe eneawo ŋu kple xɔxɔnu emetɔ ƒe agbonutiwo ŋu.
20 You must do the same thing on the seventh day of the month for anyone who strays unintentionally or in ignorance. In this way you will make atonement for the temple.
Ele na mi be miagawɔ nu mawo ke le ɣleti la ƒe ŋkeke adrelia gbe na ame sia ame si awɔ nu vɔ̃ maɖowɔ aɖe alo ato manyamanya me la ta. Ale miawɔ avuléle ɖe gbedoxɔ la nu.
21 On the fourteenth day of the first month you are to observe the Passover, a feast of seven days, during which unleavened bread shall be eaten.
“‘Le ɣleti gbãtɔ ƒe ŋkeke wuienelia gbe la, miaɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la, ŋkekenyui si axɔ ŋkeke adre, ŋkeke siwo me miaɖu abolo si wowɔ kple amɔ maʋamaʋã.
22 On that day the prince shall provide a bull as a sin offering for himself and for all the people of the land.
Gbe ma gbe la, fiavi ŋutsuvi la ana nyitsu ɖeka hena nuvɔ̃ŋutivɔsa ɖe eɖokui kple ame siwo katã le anyigba la dzi la ta.
23 Each day during the seven days of the feast, he shall provide seven bulls and seven rams without blemish as a burnt offering to the LORD, along with a male goat for a sin offering.
Gbe sia gbe le ŋkekenyui la ƒe ŋkeke adreawo me la, ana nyitsu adre kple agbo adre siwo ŋu kpɔtsɔtsɔ aɖeke mele o la, hena numevɔsa na Yehowa, eye wòagana gbɔ̃tsu ɖeka hena nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa.
24 He shall also provide as a grain offering an ephah for each bull and an ephah for each ram, along with a hin of olive oil for each ephah of grain.
Ana nuɖuvɔsa bli agba ɖeka kpe ɖe nyitsu ɖe sia ɖe ŋu eye agba ɖeka kpe ɖe agbo ɖe sia ɖe ŋu, eye wòana ami lita ene kpe ɖe agba ɖe sia ɖe ŋu.
25 During the seven days of the feast that begins on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, he is to make the same provision for sin offerings, burnt offerings, grain offerings, and oil.’
“‘Le ŋkekenyui si dzea egɔme le ɣleti adrelia ƒe ŋkeke wuiatɔ̃lia gbe ƒe ŋkeke adreawo me la, agana nu mawo ke kple ami hena nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsawo, numevɔsawo kple nuɖuvɔsawo.’”
