< Ezekiel 46 >
1 “This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘The gate of the inner court that faces east must be kept shut during the six days of work, but on the Sabbath day and on the day of the New Moon it shall be opened.
“‘Nya si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Ele be xɔxɔnu emetɔ ƒe agbo si dze ŋgɔ ɣedzeƒe la nanɔ tutu le dɔwɔŋkeke adeawo me, ke woaʋui le Dzudzɔgbe la kple Ɣleti Yeye la ƒe ŋkekenyui la dzi.
2 The prince is to enter from the outside through the portico of the gateway and stand by the gatepost, while the priests sacrifice his burnt offerings and peace offerings. He is to bow in worship at the threshold of the gate and then depart, but the gate must not be shut until evening.
Fiavi ŋutsuvi la ato gota age ɖe eme to akpata la ƒe agbo me, eye wòatsi tsitre ɖe agbo la ƒe ʋɔtruti nu. Nunɔlaawo asa numevɔwo kple akpedavɔwo, asubɔ le agbo la ƒe agbali me, eye wòado go, gake womatu agbo la o va se ɖe fiẽ me.
3 On the Sabbaths and New Moons the people of the land are also to bow in worship before the LORD at the entrance to that gateway.
Le Dzudzɔgbewo kple Ɣleti Yeyewo ƒe ŋkekenyuiwo dzi la, anyigba la dzi nɔlawo asubɔ le Yehowa ŋkume le agbo la ƒe mɔnu.
4 The burnt offering that the prince presents to the LORD on the Sabbath day shall be six unblemished male lambs and an unblemished ram.
Numevɔsa si fiavi ŋutsuvi la tsɔ vɛ na Yehowa le Dzudzɔgbe la dzi la, anye agbo fɛ̃ ade kple agbo ɖeka, lã siwo ŋu kpɔtsɔtsɔ aɖeke mele o.
5 The grain offering with the ram shall be one ephah, and the grain offering with the lambs shall be as much as he is able, along with a hin of oil per ephah.
Nuɖuvɔsa si wòna kpe ɖe agbo la ŋu la, anye wɔ agba ɖeka, eye nuɖuvɔsa si kpe ɖe agbo fɛ̃awo ŋu la asɔ gbɔ ɖe eya ŋutɔ ƒe didi nu, eye ami lita ene nakpe ɖe agba ɖeka ɖe sia ɖe ŋu.
6 On the day of the New Moon he shall offer a young, unblemished bull, six lambs, and a ram without blemish.
Le Ɣleti Yeye la ƒe ŋkekenyui dzi la, ana nyitsu fɛ̃ ɖeka, alẽvi ade kple agbo ɖeka, lã siwo katã ŋuti kpɔtsɔtsɔ aɖeke mele o.
7 He is to provide a grain offering of an ephah with the bull, an ephah with the ram, and as much as he is able with the lambs, along with a hin of oil per ephah.
Nu siwo wòana hena nuɖuvɔsa la woe nye wɔ agba ɖeka kpe ɖe nyitsu la ŋu, eye wɔ agba ɖeka nakpe ɖe agbo la ŋu, wòana nu si eya ŋutɔ lɔ̃ la kpe ɖe alẽviawo ŋu, eye ami lita ene nakpe ɖe agba ɖe sia ɖe ŋu.
8 When the prince enters, he shall go in through the portico of the gateway, and he shall go out the same way.
Ne fiavi ŋutsuvi la ge ɖe eme la, ato akpata la ƒe agbo nu, eye wòado go to teƒe ma ke.
9 When the people of the land come before the LORD at the appointed feasts, whoever enters by the north gate to worship must go out by the south gate, and whoever enters by the south gate must go out by the north gate. No one is to return through the gate by which he entered, but each must go out by the opposite gate.
“‘Ne anyigba la dzi nɔlawo va Aƒetɔ Yehowa ŋkume le ŋkekenyui ɖoɖiawo dzi la, ame sia ame si age ɖe eme to agbo anyiehemetɔ me be yeasubɔ la, ado go to agbo dziehetɔ me. Nenema ke, ame sia ame si age ɖe eme to agbo dziehetɔ me la, ado go to agbo anyiehetɔ me. Ame aɖeke mado go to agbo si me wòto ge ɖe eme o, ke ame sia ame ado go to agbo evelia me.
10 When the people enter, the prince shall go in with them, and when they leave, he shall leave.
Fiavi ŋutsuvi la anɔ wo dome age ɖe eme ne ameawo ge ɖe eme, ado go ne ameawo do go.
11 At the festivals and appointed feasts, the grain offering shall be an ephah with a bull, an ephah with a ram, and as much as one is able to give with the lambs, along with a hin of oil per ephah.
“‘Le azãwo kple ŋkekenyui ɖoɖiwo dzi la, nuɖuvɔsa la anye wɔ agba ɖeka kpe ɖe nyitsu ɖeka ŋu, wɔ agba ɖeka nakpe ɖe agbo ɖeka ŋu, eye nu sia nu si dze ame aɖe ŋu la, nakpe ɖe alẽviawo ŋu, eye ami lita ene nakpe ɖe wɔ agba ɖeka ŋu.
12 When the prince makes a freewill offering to the LORD, whether a burnt offering or a peace offering, the gate facing east must be opened for him. He is to offer his burnt offering or peace offering just as he does on the Sabbath day. Then he shall go out, and the gate must be closed after he goes out.
Ne fiaviŋutsu la wɔ lɔlɔ̃nununana na Aƒetɔ Yehowa, numevɔsa alo akpedavɔsa la, woaʋu agbo si dze ŋgɔ ɣedzeƒe la nɛ. Ana eƒe numevɔsa alo akpedavɔsawo abe ale si wòwɔna le Dzudzɔgbe la ene. Ekema ado go, eye ne edo go la, woatu agbo la.
13 And you shall provide an unblemished year-old lamb as a daily burnt offering to the LORD; you are to offer it every morning.
“‘Gbe sia gbe la, miana alẽvi aɖe si xɔ ƒe ɖeka, lã si ŋu kpɔtsɔtsɔ aɖeke mele o hena numevɔsa na Aƒetɔ Yehowa; mianae ŋdi sia ŋdi.
14 You are also to provide with it every morning a grain offering of a sixth of an ephah with a third of a hin of oil to moisten the fine flour—a grain offering to the LORD. This is a permanent statute.
Kpe ɖe esia ŋu la, ŋdi sia ŋdi miana nuɖuvɔsa wɔ agba ɖeka kple ami lita ene be woatsɔ ablu wɔ lae. Nuɖuvɔsa sia nana Aƒetɔ Yehowa nye ɖoɖo mavɔ.
15 Thus they shall provide the lamb, the grain offering, and the oil every morning as a regular burnt offering.’
Ale woana alẽvi la kple nuɖuvɔsa la kple ami la ŋdi sia ŋdi hena gbe sia gbe ƒe numevɔsa.
16 This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘If the prince gives a gift to any of his sons as an inheritance, it will belong to his descendants. It will become their property by inheritance.
“‘Nu si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Ne fiaviŋutsu la na nu via ŋutsuwo dometɔ aɖe tso eƒe domenyinu me la, anye Via ŋutsu la ƒe dzidzimeviwo hã tɔ; anye wo tɔ to domenyinyi me.
17 But if he gives a gift from his inheritance to one of his servants, it will belong to that servant until the year of freedom; then it will revert to the prince. His inheritance belongs only to his sons; it shall be theirs.
Ke, ne ena nane eƒe subɔlawo dometɔ ɖeka tso eƒe domenyinyi me la, anye subɔla la tɔ va se ɖe ablɔɖeƒe la dzi, ekema agazu fiaviŋutsu la tɔ. Eƒe domenyinuwo nye viawo ɖeɖe ko tɔ; woawo tɔe.
18 The prince must not take any of the inheritance of the people by evicting them from their property. He is to provide an inheritance for his sons from his own property, so that none of My people will be displaced from his property.’”
Fiaviŋutsu la maxɔ ameawo ƒe domenyinuwo, anya ameawo le woƒe domenyinuwo gbɔ o. Ana domenyinuwo viawo tso eya ŋutɔ ƒe domenyinuwo me, ale womama nye ameawo dometɔ aɖeke ɖa tso nu si nye etɔ la gbɔ o.’”
19 Then the man brought me through the entrance at the side of the gate into the holy chambers facing north, which belonged to the priests, and he showed me a place there at the far western end
Azɔ la, ŋutsu la kplɔm to mɔnu si le agbo la xa yi xɔ kɔkɔe siwo dze ŋgɔ anyiehe la gbɔ; xɔ siawo nye nunɔlawo tɔwo, eye wòfia teƒe aɖem le axadzi le ɣetoɖoƒe lɔƒo.
20 and said to me, “This is the place where the priests shall boil the guilt offering and the sin offering, and where they shall bake the grain offering, so that they do not bring them into the outer court and transmit holiness to the people.”
Egblɔ nam be, “Afi siae nunɔlaawo aɖa fɔɖivɔsawo kple nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsawo le. Woame nuɖuvɔsawo hã le afi sia be womatsɔ wo ava xɔxɔnu egodotɔ, eye woakɔ ameawo ŋuti o.”
21 Then he brought me into the outer court and led me around to its four corners, and I saw a separate court in each of its corners.
Azɔ la, ekplɔm yi xɔxɔnu egodotɔ, eye wòkplɔm yi xɔxɔnu la ƒe dzogoe eneawo dzi.
22 In the four corners of the outer court there were enclosed courts, each forty cubits long and thirty cubits wide. Each of the four corner areas had the same dimensions.
Le xɔxɔnu egodotɔ ƒe dzogoe eneawo dzi la, mekpɔ xɔxɔnu bubu le dzogoe ɖe sia ɖe dzi, ɖe sia ɖe didi mita blaeve, eye wòkeke mita wuiatɔ̃. Dzidzeme ɖeka li na xɔxɔnu eneawo le dzogoe eneawo dzi.
23 Around the inside of each of the four courts was a row of masonry with ovens built at the base of the walls on all sides.
Woɖo kpegli ɖe xɔxɔnu eneawo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe me ƒo xlãe, eye woɖi mlekpui ɖe kpegliawo ŋu ƒo xlãe kpe ɖo.
24 And he said to me, “These are the kitchens where those who minister at the temple will cook the sacrifices offered by the people.”
Egblɔ nam be, “Esiawoe nye dzodoƒe siwo me ame siwo subɔna le gbedoxɔ la me la aɖa ameawo ƒe vɔsanuwo le.”
