Jezekiel 43
1 Moreover he brought me to the gate looking eastward, and led me forth.
Tete ame la kplɔm va agbo si dze ŋgɔ ɣedzeƒe la gbɔ,
2 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came by the eastern way; and [there was] a voice of an army, as the sound of many redoubling [their shouts], and the earth shone like light from the glory round about.
eye mekpɔ Israel ƒe Mawu la ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe wògbɔna tso ɣedzeƒe. Eƒe gbe ɖi tɔsisiwo ƒe hoowɔwɔ, eye eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe na anyigba la nɔ keklẽm.
3 And the vision which I saw was like the vision which I saw when I went in to anoint the city: and the vision of the chariot which I saw was like the vision which I saw at the river Chobar; and I fell upon my face.
Ŋutega si mekpɔ la ɖi ŋutega si mekpɔ esi wòva be yeagbã du la kple ŋutega si mekpɔ le Kebar tɔsisi la to. Tete metsyɔ mo anyi.
4 And the glory of the Lord came into the house, by the way of the gate looking eastward.
Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ge ɖe gbedoxɔ la me to agbo si dze ŋgɔ ɣedzeƒe la me.
5 And the Spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the house of the Lord was full of glory.
Tete Gbɔgbɔ la kɔm ɖe dzi heyi xɔxɔnu emetɔ, eye Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe yɔ gbedoxɔ la me.
6 And I stood, and behold [there was] a voice out of the house of one speaking to me, and a man stood near me,
Esime ŋutsu la tsi tsitre ɖe axanye la, mese ame aɖe wònɔ nu ƒom nam tso gbedoxɔ la me.
7 and he said to me, Son of man, you have seen the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, in which my name shall dwell in the midst of the house of Israel for ever; and the house of Israel shall no more profane my holy name, they and their princes, by their fornication, or by the murders of [their] princes in the midst of them;
Egblɔ nam be, “Ame vi, afi siae nye nye fiazikpui ƒe nɔƒe kple teƒe na nye afɔƒome. Teƒe siae nye afi si manɔ le Israelviwo dome tegbetegbe. Israel ƒe aƒe la magado gu nye ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la kple woƒe fiawo to woƒe gbolowɔwɔ kple legba siwo me agbe mele o le woƒe nuxeƒewo o.
8 when they set my door-way by their door-way, and my thresholds near to their thresholds: and they made my wall as it were joining myself and them, and they profaned my holy name with their iniquities which they wrought: and I destroyed them in my wrath and with slaughter.
Ne wotsɔ woƒe kpuiwo ɖo nye kpui nu, woƒe ʋɔtrutiwo ɖo nye ʋɔtrutiwo nu, eye gli koe tso nye kpli wo dome la, wodo gu nye ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la to woƒe ŋukpenanuwo wɔwɔ me. Ale metsrɔ̃ wo le nye dɔmedzoe me.
9 And now let them put away from me their fornication, and the murders of their princes, and I will dwell in the midst of them forever.
Azɔ la, na woaɖe woƒe gbolowɔwɔ kple woƒe fiawo ƒe legba siwo me agbe mele o la ɖa tso gbɔnye, ekema manɔ wo dome tegbee.
10 And you, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may cease from their sins; and [show] its aspect and the arrangement of it.
“Ame vi, ƒo nu tso gbedoxɔ la ŋu na Israelviwo, ale be woƒe nu vɔ̃wo nakpe ŋu na wo. Na woabu ɖoɖo la ŋu,
11 And they shall bear their punishment for all the things that they have done: and you shall describe the house, and its entrances, and the plan thereof, and all its ordinances, and you shall make known to them all the regulations of it, and describe [them] before them: and they shall keep all my commandments, and all my ordinances, and do them.
eye ne ŋu kpe wo le nu siwo wowɔ ta la, na woanya gbedoxɔ la ƒe nɔnɔme, afi siwo woato age ɖe eme kple afi siwo woato ado go, eƒe nɔnɔme blibo la kple ɖoɖowo katã kple seawo katã. Ŋlɔ nu siawo da ɖi le woƒe ŋkume, ale be woalé woƒe ɖoɖowo kple sewo me ɖe asi.
12 And you shall show the plan of the house on the top of the mountain: all its limits round about [shall be] most holy.
“Esiae nye gbedoxɔ la ƒe se. Teƒe siwo katã ƒo xlãe le to la dzi la anye teƒe kɔkɔe. Esiae nye gbedoxɔ la ƒe se.”
13 And these are the measures of the altar by the cubit of a cubit and a span, the cavity [shall be] a cubit deep, and a cubit shall be the breadth, and the border on the rim of it round about shall be a span: and this [shall be] the height of the altar
“Esiawoe nye vɔsamlekpui la ƒe dzidzeme. Eƒe tsitoƒe de eme mita afã, eye wòkeke mita afã; woɖo to nɛ si kɔ asiƒo afã. Vɔsamlekpui la ƒe kɔkɔme le ale:
14 from the bottom at the commencement of the hollow part to this great mercy-seat, from beneath was two cubits, and the breadth was a cubit; and from the little mercy-seat to the great mercy-seat, four cubits, and the breadth was a cubit.
Tso tsitoƒe si le anyigba va se ɖe kɔ etetɔ ŋu le mita ɖeka, eye wòkeke mita afã. Tso kɔ suetɔ gbɔ va se ɖe kɔ gãtɔ gbɔ la kɔ mita eve, eye wòkeke mita afã.
15 And the altar [shall be] four cubits; and from the altar and above the horns a cubit.
Vɔsamlekpui la ƒe dzodoƒe kɔ mita eve, eye lãdzo eve tso dzodoƒe la ŋu do ɖe yame.
16 And the altar [shall be] of the length of twelve cubits, by twelve cubits [in breadth], square upon its four sides.
Vɔsamlekpui la ƒe dzodoƒe sɔ le didime kple kekeme siaa, eye ɖe sia ɖe nye mita ade.
17 And the mercy-seat [shall be] fourteen cubits in length, by fourteen cubits in breadth on its four sides; and [there shall be] a border to it carried round about it of half a cubit; and the rim of it [shall be] a cubit round about; and the steps thereof looking eastward.
Kɔ yametɔ hã sɔ le didime kple kekeme me, eye ɖe sia ɖe didi mita adre, woɖo to nɛ ƒo xlã wòkɔ mita afã ƒe afã. Tsitoƒe la de eme mita afã ƒo xlã va kpe. Vɔsamlekpui la ƒe atrakpuiwo dze ŋgɔ ɣedzeƒe.”
18 And he said to me, Son of man, thus says the Lord God of Israel; These are the ordinances of the altar in the day of its being made, to offer upon it whole burnt offerings, and to pour blood upon it.
Tete wògblɔ nam be, “Ame vi, nya si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Esiawoe anye ɖoɖowo na numevɔsawo kple ʋuhehlẽ ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ŋu ne wotui.
19 And you shall appoint to the priests the Levites of the seed of Sadduc, that draw near to me, says the Lord God, to minister to me, a calf of the herd for a sin-offering.
Ele na wò be nàtsɔ nyitsu fɛ̃ ɖeka abe nuvɔ̃ŋutivɔsa ene na nunɔlawo, ame siwo nye Levitɔwo tso Zadok ƒe ƒome me, ame siwo va subɔna le nye ŋkume.’ Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.
20 And they shall take of its blood, and shall put [it] on the four horns of the altar, and upon the four corners of the propitiatory, and upon the base round about, and they shall make atonement for it.
Ele na wò be nàku lã la ƒe ʋu aɖe asi ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ƒe lãdzo eneawo kple kɔ eneawo ƒe dzogoewo ŋu aƒo xlã kpe ɖo, ale nàkɔ vɔsamlekpui la ŋu, eye nàlé avu ɖe enu.
21 And they shall take the calf of the sin-offering, and it shall be consumed by fire in the separate place of the house, outside the sanctuary.
Ele na wò be nàtsɔ nyitsu na nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa, eye nàtɔ dzoe le teƒe si woɖo ɖi nɛ le gbedoxɔ la me le kɔkɔeƒe la godo.
22 And on the second day they shall take two kids of the goats without blemish for a sin-offering; and they shall make atonement for the altar, as they made atonement with the calf.
“Le ŋkeke evelia gbe la, ele be nàna gbɔ̃tsu si ŋu kpɔtsɔtsɔ aɖeke mele o la na nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa, eye woakɔ vɔsamlekpui la ŋu abe ale si wokɔ eŋui kple nyitsu la ene.
23 And after they have finished the atonement, they shall bring an unblemished calf of the herd, and an unblemished ram of the flock.
Ne èwu eŋutikɔkɔ nu vɔ la, ele na wò be nàna nyitsu fɛ̃ aɖe kple agbo aɖe tso lãha la me; kpɔtsɔtsɔ manɔ wo dometɔ aɖeke ŋu o.
24 And you shall offer [them] before the Lord, and the priests shall sprinkle salt upon them, and shall offer them up [as] whole burnt offerings to the Lord.
Ele na wò be nàna wo le Yehowa ŋkume, eye nunɔlaawo awu dze ɖe wo dzi, eye woatsɔ wo asa numevɔe na Yehowa.
25 Seven days shall you offer a kid daily for a sin-offering, and a calf of the herd, and a ram out of the flock: they shall sacrifice them unblemished for seven days:
“Ele na wò be nàna gbɔ̃tsu ɖeka gbe sia gbe, ŋkeke adre hena nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa, eye nàgana nyitsu fɛ̃ ɖeka kple agbo ɖeka tso lãha la me, kpɔtsɔtsɔ manɔ wo dometɔ aɖeke ŋu o.
26 and they shall make atonement for the altar, and shall purge it; and they shall consecrate themselves.
Woawɔ avuléle ɖe vɔsamlekpui la nu ŋkeke adre, wɔakɔ eŋuti, eye woatsɔe ana.
27 And it shall come to pass from the eighth day and onward, [that] the priests shall offer your whole burnt offerings on the altar, and your peace-offerings; and I will accept you, says the Lord.
Le ŋkeke siawo ƒe nuwuwu, tso ŋkeke enyilia gbe yina la, nunɔlaawo awɔ miaƒe numevɔsawo kple akpedavɔsawo le vɔsamlekpui la dzi. Ekema maxɔ mi. Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.”
