Ezekiel 43
1 And he brought me unto the gate, the gate which looked toward the east.
Na ɔbarima no de me baa apueeɛ fam ɛpono no ano,
2 And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east; and his voice was like the voice of many waters; and the earth was lit up with his glory.
na mehunuu Israel Onyankopɔn animuonyam sɛ apue wɔ apueeɛ fam reba. Na ne nne te sɛ nsusenee nworosoɔ ano den, na asase no so hyerɛnee wɔ nʼanimuonyam no mu.
3 And the appearance of the vision that I saw was according to the vision that I had seen when I came to destroy the city; and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar: and I fell upon my face.
Anisoadehunu a menyaeɛ no te sɛ deɛ menyaa no ɛberɛ a ɔba bɛsɛee kuropɔn no ne deɛ menyaa wɔ Asubɔnten Kebar ho no, na mede mʼanim butuu fam.
4 And the glory of Jehovah came into the house by the way of the gate whose front was toward the east.
Awurade animuonyam faa ɛpono a ani kyerɛ apueeɛ fam no mu hyɛnee asɔredan no mu.
5 And the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of Jehovah filled the house.
Na honhom no pagyaa me de me baa mfimfini adihɔ hɔ na Awurade animuonyam hyɛɛ asɔredan no ma.
6 And I heard one speaking unto me out of the house; and a man was standing by me.
Ɛberɛ a ɔbarima no gyina me ho no, metee sɛ obi rekasa firi asɔredan no mu kyerɛ me.
7 And he said unto me, Son of man, [this is] the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever; and the house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, they nor their kings, with their fornication, and with the carcases of their kings [in] their high places,
Ɔkaa sɛ, “Onipa ba, ɛha ne mʼahennwa siberɛ ne me nan ntiasoɔ. Ɛha na mɛtena wɔ Israelfoɔ mu afebɔɔ. Israel efie rengu me din ho fi bio da; wɔn anaa wɔn ahemfo remfa wɔn adwamammɔ ne ahemfo no ahoni a nkwa nni mu a wɔwɔ wɔn sorɔnsorɔmmea no rengu me din ho fi.
8 in that they set their threshold by my threshold, and their post by my post, and [there was only] a wall between me and them, and they defiled my holy name with their abominations which they committed; and I consumed them in mine anger.
Ɛberɛ a wɔmaa wɔn aboboano bɛnee me deɛ, na wɔn aponnwa nso bɛnee me deɛ a na ɔfasuo na ɛtwa yɛn ntam no, wɔde wɔn akyiwadeɛ guu me din kronkron ho fi. Ɛno enti mesɛee wɔn wɔ mʼabufuo mu.
9 Now let them put away their fornication, and the carcases of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.
Afei ma wɔnyi wɔn adwamammɔ ne ahemfo no ahoni a wɔnni nkwa no mfiri mʼani so, na mɛtena wɔn mu afebɔɔ.
10 Thou, son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be confounded at their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.
“Onipa ba, kyerɛkyerɛ Israelfoɔ sɛdeɛ asɔredan no teɛ na wɔn ani nwu wɔ wɔn bɔne ho. Ma wɔnsusu ne sie mfoni ho,
11 And if they be confounded at all that they have done, make known to them the form of the house, and its fashion, and its goings out, and its comings in, and all its forms, and all its statutes, yea, all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof; and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the statutes thereof, and do them.
na sɛ wɔn ani wu deɛ wɔayɛ ho a, twa asɔredan no mfoni kyerɛ wɔn; ne ntotoeɛ, apono a wɔfa mu pue ne deɛ wɔfa kɔ mu, ne mfoni nyinaa, ne ɛho akwankyerɛ nyinaa ne mmara. Twerɛ saa nneɛma yi wɔ wɔn anim na wɔadi me ntotoeɛ ne ne sie no mfoni no so.
12 This is the law of the house: Upon the top of the mountain all its border round about is most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.
“Asɔredan no ho mmara nie: Asase a ɛda ho wɔ bepɔ no so nyinaa yɛ kronkron. Sei na asɔredan no ho mmara teɛ.
13 And these are the measures of the altar in cubits: the cubit is a cubit and a hand breadth. The bottom was a cubit [in height] and the breadth a cubit, and its border on the edge thereof round about, one span: and this was the base of the altar.
“Afɔrebukyia no nsusuiɛ na ɛdidi soɔ yi. Ne nsuka mu dɔ yɛ anammɔn ne fa na ne tɛtrɛtɛ nso saa ara, na anoano hini a ɛtwa ho hyia no nso tɛtrɛtɛ bɛyɛ nsateakwaa nkron. Na yei nso ne afɔrebukyia no tentene:
14 And from the bottom upon the ground to the lower settle was two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the small settle to the great settle, four cubits, and the breadth a cubit.
Ɛfiri ne nnyinasoɔ a ɛsi nsuka no so kɔ ne soro yɛ anammɔn mmiɛnsa, na ne pipiripie nso yɛ ɔnamɔn ne fa, na apa ketewa no ne apa kɛseɛ no ntam yɛ anammɔn nsia, na apa no pipiripie nso yɛ ɔnamɔn ne fa.
15 And the upper altar was four cubits; and from the hearth of God and upward were four horns.
Afɔrebukyia no wisie tokuro no ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn nsia na mmɛn ɛnan a ano hwɛ soro tuatua ho.
16 And the hearth of God was twelve [cubits] long, by twelve broad, square in the four sides thereof.
Afɔrebukyia wisie tokuro no yɛ ahinanan, na ɛfa biara yɛ anammɔn dunwɔtwe.
17 And the settle was fourteen [cubits] long by fourteen broad in the four sides thereof; and the border about it, half a cubit; and the bottom thereof a cubit round about: and its steps looked toward the east.
Afɔrebukyia no apa a ɛwɔ soro no nso yɛ ahinanan a afanan no mu biara yɛ anammɔn aduonu baako, na kawa a ɛyɛ nsateakwaa nkron da apa no ano na nsuka a atwa ho ahyia yɛ ɔnamɔn ne fa. Atwedeɛ a ɛkɔ afɔrebukyia no so no ani hwɛ apueeɛ fam.”
18 And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer up burnt-offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Onipa ba, yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Yeinom na ɛbɛyɛ nhyehyɛeɛ a wɔbɛfa so abɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne ɛkwan a, sɛ wɔsi afɔrebukyia no wie a wɔbɛfa so de mogya apete ho:
19 And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that are of the seed of Zadok, who come near unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord Jehovah, a young bullock for a sin-offering.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wode nantwie ba ma asɔfoɔ a wɔyɛ Lewifoɔ na wɔfiri Sadok abusua mu na wɔba mʼanim bɛsom me no, sɛ bɔne afɔrebɔdeɛ, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.
20 And thou shalt take of its blood, and put it on the four horns thereof, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the border round about: so shalt thou purge and make atonement for it.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wofa nantwie ba no mogya no bi na wode keka afɔrebukyia mmɛn ɛnan no ho. Wode bi bɛkeka apa a ɛwɔ soro no ntwɛtwɛaso ne anoano kawa a atwa ho ahyia no ho na wɔnam so ate afɔrebukyia no ho de ayɛ mpata nso.
21 And thou shalt take the bullock of the sin-offering, and it shall be burned in the appointed place of the house, outside the sanctuary.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wofa bɔne afɔrebɔdeɛ nantwie no na wokɔhye no wɔ asɔredan no ho beaeɛ a wɔayi ato hɔ, wɔ kronkronbea no akyi.
22 And on the second day thou shalt present a he-goat without blemish for a sin-offering; and they shall purge the altar, as they purged it with the bullock.
“Ɛda a ɛtɔ so mmienu no, ɛsɛ sɛ wode ɔpapo a ɔnni dɛm ma sɛ bɔne afɔrebɔdeɛ, na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔdwira afɔrebukyia no ho sɛdeɛ wɔde nantwie no yɛeɛ no.
23 When thou hast ended purging it, thou shalt present a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish;
Sɛ wowie ɛho dwira a, ɛsɛ sɛ wode nantwie ba ne nnwennini a wɔfiri ebuo no mu a wɔnni dɛm bɛbɔ afɔdeɛ.
24 and thou shalt present them before Jehovah; and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt-offering unto Jehovah.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wode wɔn ba Awurade anim, na asɔfoɔ de nkyene pete wɔn so na wɔde bɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ma Awurade.
25 Seven days shalt thou offer daily a goat for a sin-offering; they shall also offer a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.
“Ɛsɛ sɛ wode ɔpapo ba sɛ bɔne afɔrebɔdeɛ nnanson. Afei ɛsɛ sɛ wode nantwie ba ne nnwennini a wɔfiri ebuo mu na wɔnni dɛm nso ba.
26 Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify it, and consecrate it.
Wɔbɛyɛ mpatadeɛ ama afɔrebukyia no nnanson de ate ho; sei na wɔbɛyɛ de asi hɔ ama dwumadie.
27 And when these days are ended, it shall be that upon the eighth day and onwards the priests shall offer your burnt-offerings upon the altar, and your peace-offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord Jehovah.
Saa nna yi akyi, ɛfiri ɛda a ɛtɔ so nnwɔtwe de rekorɔ no, ɛsɛ sɛ asɔfoɔ no de mo ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ ne asomdwoeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ no ba afɔrebukyia no so. Afei mɛgye mo atom, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.”
