< Ezekiel 46 >
1 Thus sayth the Lord God, The gate of the inner court, that turneth toward the East, shall be shut the sixe working dayes: but on the Sabbath it shalbe opened, and in the day of the newe moone it shalbe opened.
“‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔto mfimfini adihɔ ɛpono a ani hwɛ apueeɛ no mu nnafua nsia a wɔde yɛ adwuma, nanso Homeda ne Ɔbosome Foforɔ ɛda no deɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔma ano da hɔ.
2 And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate without, and shall stande by the post of the gate, and the Priests shall make his burnt offring, and his peace offrings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate: after, he shall go foorth, but the gate shall not be shut till the euening.
Ɔhene no bɛfiri mfikyire awura ɛpono no ntwonoo mu na wabɛgyina aponnwa no ho. Asɔfoɔ no de ne hyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ ne asomdwoeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ bɛbɔ afɔdeɛ. Ɔbɛsɔre wɔ ɛpono no aboboano na wasane apue, nanso wɔrento ɛpono no mu kɔsi anwummerɛ.
3 Likewise the people of the lande shall worshippe at the entrie of this gate before the Lord on the Sabbaths, and in the newe moones.
Home nna ne ɔbosome foforɔ nna no, ɛsɛ sɛ asase no sofoɔ sɔre wɔ Awurade anim wɔ ɛpono no aboboano.
4 And the burnt offring that the prince shall offer vnto the Lord on the Sabbath day, shalbe sixe lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish.
Afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhene no de brɛ Awurade wɔ Homeda no yɛ nnwammaa nsia ne odwennini baako a wɔn mu biara ho nni dɛm.
5 And the meat offring shalbe an Ephah for a ram: and the meate offring for the lambs a gift of his hand, and an Hin of oyle to an Ephah.
Aduane afɔrebɔdeɛ a wɔde ka odwennini no ho yɛ kilogram dunsia, na deɛ wɔde ka nnwammaa no ho yɛ deɛ ɛsɔ ani, na ɔde ngo lita ɛnan ka aduane kilogram dunsia biara ho.
6 And in the day of the newe moone it shall be a yong bullocke without blemish, and sixe lambes and a ram: they shalbe without blemish.
Ɔbosome Foforɔ ɛda no, ɔmfa nantwie ba a ɔyɛ ɔnini, nnwammaa nsia ne nnwennini a wɔn mu biara nnii dɛm mmra.
7 And he shall prepare a meat offring, euen an Ephah for a bullocke, and an Ephah for a ram, and for the lambes according as his hand shall bring, and an Hin of oyle to an Ephah.
Ɔmfa atokoɔ kilogram dunsia nka nantwinini no ho ne nnwennini no nso saa ara, na nnwammaa no deɛ, ɔmfa atokoɔ dodoɔ a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔde ma. Ɔmfa ngo lita ɛnan nka atokoɔ kilogram dunsia biara ho mmra sɛ aduane afɔrebɔdeɛ.
8 And when the prince shall enter, hee shall goe in by the way of the porche of that gate, and hee shall go foorth by the way thereof.
Na sɛ ɔhene no rebɛhyɛne mu a, ɔmfa ɛpono no ntwonoo no mu, na ɛsɛ sɛ ɛhɔ ara na ɔfa de firi adi.
9 But when the people of the land shall come before the Lord in the solemne feastes, hee that entreth in by the way of the North gate to worship, shall goe out by the way of the South gate: and he that entreth by the way of the South gate, shall goe foorth by the way of the North gate: hee shall not returne by the way of the gate whereby hee came in, but they shall goe forth ouer against it.
“‘Na sɛ asase no sofoɔ ba Awurade anim apontoɔ nna no a, deɛ ɔbɛfa atifi ɛpono no mu akɔ mu akɔsɔre no, ɔmfa anafoɔ ɛpono no mu mfiri adi; saa ara na deɛ ɔfa anafoɔ ɛpono mu kɔ mu no nso, ɔmfa atifi ɛpono no mu mfiri adi. Ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara sane fa ɛpono a ɔfaa mu hyɛnee mu no mu firi adi.
10 And the prince shall be in the middes of them: hee shall go in when they goe in, and when they goe forth, they shall goe forth together.
Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhene no fra wɔn mu; ɔne wɔn bɛba mu na ɔne wɔn afiri adi.
11 And in the feastes, and in the solemnities the meat offring shalbe an Ephah to a bullocke, and an Ephah to a ram, and to the lambes, the gift of his hand, and an Hin of oyle to an Ephah.
“‘Afahyɛ ne apontoɔ nna no, aduane afɔrebɔdeɛ no nyɛ nantwinini baako ne atokoɔ kilogram dunsia, nnwennini ne atokoɔ kilogram dunsia, na nnwammaa no deɛ atokoɔ dodoɔ ɛsɔ ani na ɔde bɛka ho, na ngo lita ɛnan ka atokoɔ kilogram dunsia biara ho.
12 Nowe when the prince shall make a free burnt offring or peace offrings freely vnto the Lord, one shall then open him the gate, that turneth towarde the East, and hee shall make his burnt offring and his peace offrings, as he did on the Sabbath day: after, hee shall goe foorth, and when he is gone forth, one shall shut the gate.
“‘Ɛberɛ biara a ɔhene no bɛfiri ne pɛ mu abɔ afɔdeɛ ama Awurade no, sɛ ɛyɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ anaa asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbue ɛpono a ɛkyerɛ apueeɛ no ma no. Ɔbɛbɔ ne ɔhyeɛ anaa ne asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ no sɛdeɛ ɔyɛ no wɔ Homeda no. Afei ɔbɛfiri adi na ɛno akyi wɔbɛto ɛpono no mu.
13 Thou shalt dayly make a burnt offring vnto the Lord of a lambe of one yere without blemish: thou shalt doe it euery morning.
“‘Da biara da, anɔpa biara, ɛsɛ sɛ wode odwammaa a wadi afe na ɔnni dɛm bɛbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ma Awurade.
14 And thou shalt prepare a meate offring for it euery morning, the sixt part of an Ephah, and the thirde part of an Hin of oyle, to mingle with the fine flowre: this meate offring shalbe continually by a perpetuall ordinance vnto the Lord.
Anɔpa biara ɛsɛ sɛ wobɔ aduane afɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ atokoɔ kilogram mmiɛnsa ne ngo lita baako ne fa a wɔde bɛfɔre esiam no. Aduane afɔdeɛ a wɔbɔ ma Awurade yi yɛ nhyehyɛeɛ a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa.
15 Thus shall they prepare the lambe, and the meate offring and the oyle euery morning, for a continual burnt offring.
Ɛno enti wɔde odwammaa ne atokoɔ afɔrebɔdeɛ ne ngo no bɛma anɔpa biara sɛ daa ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ.
16 Thus saith the Lord God, If the prince giue a gift of his inheritance vnto any of his sonnes, it shalbe his sonnes, and it shall bee their possession by inheritance.
“‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Sɛ ɔhene no de nʼagyapadeɛ no mu bi kyɛ ne mmammarima no mu bi a, ɛbɛyɛ nʼasefoɔ dea na ɛyɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ.
17 But if hee giue a gift of his inheritance to one of his seruantes, then it shall bee his to the yere of libertie: after, it shall returne to ye prince, but his inheritance shall remaine to his sonnes for them.
Nanso sɛ ɔde nʼagyapadeɛ no mu bi kyɛ nʼasomfoɔ no mu bi a, ɛbɛyɛ ɔsomfoɔ no dea kɔsi nʼahofadie afe. Ɛno akyi ɛbɛsane abɛyɛ ɔhene no dea. Nʼagyapadeɛ yɛ ne mmammarima nko ara dea.
18 Moreouer the prince shall not take of the peoples inheritance, nor thrust them out of their possession: but he shall cause his sonnes to inherit of his owne possession, that my people be not scattered euery man from his possession.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔhene no gye nnipa no agyapadeɛ biara, pam wɔn firi wɔn asase so. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔma ne mmammarima agyapadeɛ firi ɔno ankasa ahodeɛ mu, sɛdeɛ me nkurɔfoɔ mu biara remfiri nʼasase so.’”
19 After, he brought me through the entrie, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers of the Priestes, which stoode towarde the North: and beholde, there was a place at the West side of them.
Afei, ɔbarima no de me faa ɛkwan a ɛda ɛpono no nkyɛnmu a ɛkɔ adan kronkron a ɛkyerɛ atifi fam no, deɛ ɛyɛ asɔfoɔ no dea no, na ɔkyerɛɛ me beaeɛ bi a ɛwɔ atɔeɛ fam.
20 Then saide he vnto me, This is the place where the Priestes shall see the the trespasse offering and the sinne offering, where they shall bake the meat offring, that they should not beare them into the vtter court, to sanctifie ye people.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ: “Ɛha ne beaeɛ a asɔfoɔ no bɛnoa afɔdie afɔrebɔdeɛ ne bɔne afɔrebɔdeɛ na wɔato atokoɔ afɔrebɔdeɛ, sɛdeɛ wɔremfa mma mfikyire adihɔ hɔ mmɛdwira nkurɔfoɔ no ho.”
21 Then he brought me foorth into the vtter court, and caused me to goe by the foure corners of the court: and beholde, in euery corner of the court, there was a court.
Ɔde me baa adihɔ a ɛwɔ afikyire hɔ no na ɔdii mʼanim de me kɔɔ ne ntweaso ɛnan no so, na mehunuu adihɔ foforɔ wɔ ntwea biara so.
22 In the foure corners of the court there were courts ioyned of fourty cubits long, and thirty broad: these foure corners were of one measure.
Mfikyire adihɔ no ntweaso ɛnan no mu biara wɔ adihɔ a ɛhyɛ mu a ne tentene yɛ anammɔn aduosia na ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn aduanan enum; na saa adihɔ yi nyinaa kɛseɛ yɛ pɛ.
23 And there went a wall about them, euen about those foure, and kitchins were made vnder the walles rounde about.
Afasuo no mu biara anim no na wɔahyehyɛ aboɔ de aseɛ no ayɛ bukyia wɔ afaafa nyinaa.
24 Then said he vnto me, This is the kitchin where the ministers of the house shall seethe the sacrifice of the people.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Yeinom ne mukaase a wɔn a wɔsom wɔ asɔredan mu no bɛnoa nkurɔfoɔ no afɔrebɔdeɛ.”
