Ezekiel 40

1 In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day, the hand of the LORD was upon me, and He brought me thither.

Yɛn nnommumfa afe a ɛtɔ so aduonu enum, afe no ahyɛaseɛ bosome ɛda a ɛtɔ so edu a ɛyɛ kuropɔn no asehweɛ afe a ɛtɔ so dunan no, saa ɛda no ara no Awurade nsa baa me so, na ɔde me kɔɔ hɔ.

2 In the visions of God brought He me into the land of Israel, and set me down upon a very high mountain, whereon was as it were the frame of a city on the south.

Onyankopɔn anisoadehunu mu no, ɔde me kɔɔ Israel asase so, na ɔde me kɔgyinaa bepɔ tenten bi so; nʼanafoɔ fam no na adan bi wɔ hɔ a ɛsɛ kuropɔn.

3 And He brought me thither, and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.

Ɔde me kɔɔ hɔ na mehunuu ɔbarima bi a ne tebea te sɛ kɔbere mfrafraeɛ; na ɔgyina ɔpono no ano, kura serekye ahoma ne susudua wɔ ne nsam.

4 And the man said unto me: 'Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thy heart upon all that I shall show thee, for to the intent that I might show them unto thee art thou brought thither; declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.'

Ɔbarima yi ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Onipa ba, fa wʼani hwɛ na fa wʼaso tie na biribiara a merebɛkyerɛ wo no, fa wʼadwene di akyire, ɛfiri sɛ ɛno enti na wɔde wo aba ha. Ka biribiara a wobɛhunu kyerɛ Israel efie.”

5 And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits long, of a cubit and a hand-breadth each; so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed, and the height, one reed.

Mehunuu ɔfasuo a atwa asɔredan no mfefaremu nyinaa ho ahyia. Susudua a ɛhyɛ ɔbarima no nsam no tenten yɛ anammɔn edu ne fa. Ɔsusuu ɔfasuo no hunuu sɛ ne pipiripie yɛ anammɔn edu ne fa, na ne ɔsorokɔ nso saa ara.

6 Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east, and went up the steps thereof; and he measured the jamb of the gate, one reed broad, and the other jamb, one reed broad.

Afei, ɔkɔɔ abɔntenpono a ɛkyerɛ apueeɛ fam no ano. Ɔforoo nʼatrapoe no na ɔsusuu aboboano na ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn edu ne fa.

7 And every cell was one reed long, and one reed broad; and the space between the cells was five cubits; and the jambs of the gate by the porch of the gate within were one reed.

Awɛmfoɔ adan no mu biara tentene mu yɛ anammɔn edu ne fa na ne tɛtrɛtɛ mu nso yɛ anammɔn edu ne fa. Afasuo ntiantia a ɛtwitwa awɛmfoɔ adan no ntam mu pipiripie yɛ anammɔn nson ne fa. Ntwonoo a anim kyerɛ asɔredan no aboboano ɛpono no tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn edu ne fa.

8 He measured also the porch of the gate toward the house, one reed.

Afei ɔsusuu ɛpono no ntwonoo;

9 Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was inward.

na ne tentene mu yɛ anammɔn dumienu, na nʼadum mu biara nso pipiripie yɛ anammɔn mmiɛnsa. Ɛpono no ntwonoo anim hwɛ asɔredan no.

10 And the cells of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure; and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side.

Na awɛmfoɔ adan mmiɛnsa mmiɛnsa wɔ apueeɛ ɛpono no benkum so ne nifa so; na ne nyinaa kɛseɛ yɛ pɛ na afasuo ntiantia a ɛtwitwa ntam no nso pipiripie yɛ pɛ.

11 And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits;

Afei ɔsusuu abɔntenpono no ano ɛkwan, na ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn dunum na ne tentene mu nso yɛ anammɔn dunkron ne fa.

12 and a border before the cells, one cubit on this side, and a border, one cubit on that side; and the cells, six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.

Awɛmfoɔ adan no mu biara anim wɔ ɔfasuo tiawa a ne sorokɔ yɛ ɔnamɔn ne fa, na awɛmfoɔ adan no mu biara yɛ ahinanan a ɔfa biara susu anammɔn edu ne fa.

13 And he measured the gate from the roof of the one cell to the roof of the other, a breadth of five and twenty cubits; door against door.

Afei ɔsusuu ɛpono no firi awɛmfoɔ adan no mu baako ɔfasuo a ɛwɔ akyire no atifi kɔsii ɛdan a ɛne no di nhwɛanim no akyire ɔfasuo atifi; na ɛkwan a ɛda ntam yɛ anammɔn aduasa nson ne fa.

14 He made also posts of threescore cubits; even unto the posts of the court in the gates round about.

Ɔsusu faa afasuo ntiantia a ɛtwitwa awɛmfoɔ adan no ntam no nyinaa anim wɔ ɛpono ɛkwan no mu, na ɛyɛɛ anammɔn aduɔkron. Ntenemu no kɔsii ntwonoo a anim hwɛ adihɔ hɔ no.

15 And from the forefront of the gate of the entrance unto the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were fifty cubits.

Ɛkwan a ɛfiri abɔntenpono aboboano kɔsi ntwonoo no tire yɛ anammɔn aduɔson enum.

16 And there were narrow windows to the cells and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches; and windows were round about inward; and upon each post were palm-trees.

Awɛmfoɔ adan ne afasuo ntiantia a ɛtwitwa wɔn ntam wɔ abɔntenpono ɛkwan no mu no, na banbɔ mpomma nketenkete atwa ho ahyia, na saa ara na ntwonoo no mu teɛ, na ne nyinaa buebue kɔ mu. Afasuo ntiatia a ɛtwitwa awɛmfoɔ adan no ntam no, wɔakurukyire mmɛdua de asiesie anim.

17 Then brought he me into the outer court, and, lo, there were chambers and a pavement, made for the court round about; thirty chambers were upon the pavement.

Afei ɔde me baa adihɔ a ɛda akyire hɔ. Ɛhɔ na mehunuu adan bi ne aboɔ nsɛweeɛ bi a ɛwɔ mfikyire adihɔ no ɔfasuo ase nyinaa; na adan no yɛ aduasa wɔ aboɔ nsɛweeɛ no akyi.

18 And the pavement was by the side of the gates, corresponding unto the length of the gates, even the lower pavement.

Na aboɔ nsɛweeɛ no trɛ firi apono no anim, na na ne tɛtrɛtɛ te sɛ ntwonoo no a ɛhyɛn adihɔ no tɛtrɛtɛ; yei ne aseɛ nsɛweeɛ no.

19 Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate unto the forefront of the inner court without, a hundred cubits, eastward as also northward.

Afei ɔsusuu ɛkwan a ɛfiri nhyɛnmu ɛpono a ɛdi ɛkan no de kɔsii ɛpono a ɛwɔ Kronkronbea no anim wɔ atifi fam; na ɛyɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonum firi apueeɛ de kɔsi atifi fam.

20 And the gate of the outer court that looked toward the north, he measured the length thereof and the breadth thereof.

Afei ɔsusuu ɛpono a ani hwɛ atifi fam na ɛpue mfikyire adihɔ no tentene ne ne tɛtrɛtɛ.

21 And the cells thereof were three on this side and three on that side; and the posts thereof and the arches thereof were after the measure of the first gate; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.

Na awɛmfoɔ adan a mmiɛnsa wɔ afaafa, afasuo ntiawa a ɛtwitwa wɔn ntam ne ntwonoo no mfefaremu te sɛ ɔpono a ɛdi ɛkan no deɛ. Na ne tenten yɛ anammɔn aduɔson enum na ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn aduasa nson ne fa.

22 And the windows thereof, and the arches thereof, and the palm-trees thereof, were after the measure of the gate that looketh toward the east; and it was ascended by seven steps; and the arches thereof were before them.

Na ne mpomma nketenkete ne ntwonoo ne mmɛdua a wɔakurukyire no nsusuwiiɛ nyinaa te sɛ ɛpono a ani hwɛ apueeɛ fam no deɛ. Atwedeɛ nnidisoɔ nson na wɔforo de kɔ mu. Atwedeɛ no ne ntwonoo no di nhwɛanim.

23 And there was a gate to the inner court over against the other gate, northward as also eastward; and he measured from gate to gate a hundred cubits.

Na ɛpono bi wɔ hɔ a ɛkɔ mfimfini adihɔ a ɛne atifi fam ɛpono no di nhwɛanim, sɛdeɛ na ɛteɛ wɔ apueeɛ fam no. Ɔsusu firii ɛpono baako ano kɔsii deɛ ɛne no di nhweanim no ano; na ɛyɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonum.

24 And he led me toward the south, and behold a gate toward the south; and he measured the posts thereof, and the arches thereof according to these measures.

Afei ɔdii mʼanim de me kɔɔ anafoɔ fam, na mehunuu ɛpono a ani hwɛ anafoɔ fam no. Ɔsusuu nʼadum ne ntwonoo no, na wɔn nsusuiɛ te sɛ nkaeɛ no.

25 And there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about, like those windows; the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.

Na ɛpono no ne ntwonoo no ho wowɔ mpomma nketenkete wɔ ho nyinaa te sɛ mpomma nketenkete a ɛwɔ nkaeɛ no ho no. Na ntwonoo no tentene yɛ anammɔn aduɔwɔtwe nson na ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn aduanan ɛnan.

26 And there were seven steps to go up to it, and the arches thereof were before them; and it had palm-trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon the posts thereof.

Atwedeɛ nnidisoɔ nson na wɔforo kɔ ɛpono no ano, na ne ntwonoo no ne no di nhwɛanim; na mmɛdua mfoni wɔ afasuo ntiantia a ɛtwitwa awɛmfoɔ no adan no ntam no anim wɔ nʼafanu.

27 And there was a gate to the inner court toward the south; and he measured from gate to gate toward the south a hundred cubits.

Na mfimfini adihɔ nso wɔ ɛpono a ani hwɛ anafoɔ fam, na ɔsusuu ɛkwan a ɛda saa ɛpono yi ne abɔntenpono a ɛwɔ anafoɔ fam no ntam; na ɛyɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonum.

28 Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate; and he measured the south gate according to these measures;

Afei, ɔde me faa anafoɔ fam ɛpono no mu baa mfimfini adihɔ hɔ. Ɔsusuu anafoɔ fam ɛpono no; na ne nsusuiɛ no nyinaa te sɛ deɛ aka no.

29 and the cells thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, according to these measures; and there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about; it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.

Nʼawɛmfoɔ adan, afasuo ntiatia a ɛtwitwa adan no ntam ne ntwonoo no nsusuiɛ ne deɛ aka no yɛ pɛ. Na ɛpono no ne ne ntwonoo wowɔ mpomma nketenkete wɔ ho nyinaa. Na ne tentene yɛ anammɔn aduɔson enum na ne tɛtrɛtɛ nso yɛ anammɔn aduasa nson ne fa.

30 And there were arches round about, five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad.

(Ɛpono no ntwonoo a wɔde kɔ mfimfini adihɔ no tentene yɛ anammɔn aduasa nson na ne tɛtrɛtɛ nso yɛ anammɔn nson ne fa.)

31 And the arches thereof were toward the outer court; and palm-trees were upon the posts thereof; and the going up to it had eight steps.

Ɛpono no hwɛ mfikyire adihɔ hɔ; nʼafadum ho wɔ mmɛdua a wɔakurukyire, na atrapoe nnidisoɔ nwɔtwe na wɔforo de kɔ hɔ.

32 And he brought me into the inner court toward the east; and he measured the gate according to these measures;

Afei, ɔde me baa mfimfini adihɔ hɔ wɔ apueeɛ fam na ɔsusuu ɛpono no; na ne nsusuiɛ ne deɛ aka no yɛ pɛ.

33 and the cells thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, according to these measures; and there were windows therein and in the arches thereof round about; it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.

Nʼawɛmfoɔ adan, afasuo ntiatia a ɛtwitwa adan no ntam ne ntwonoo no nsusuiɛ ne deɛ aka no yɛ pɛ. Na ɛpono no ne ne ntwonoo wowɔ mpomma nketenkete wɔ ho nyinaa. Na ne tentene yɛ anammɔn aduɔson enum na ne tɛtrɛtɛ nso yɛ anammɔn aduasa nson ne fa.

34 And the arches thereof were toward the outer court; and palm-trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side; and the going up to it had eight steps.

Ne ntwonoo hwɛ mfimfini adihɔ hɔ; nʼafadum ho wɔ mmɛdua a wɔakurukyire, na atrapoe nnidisoɔ nwɔtwe na wɔforo de kɔ hɔ.

35 And he brought me to the north gate; and he measured it according to these measures;

Afei ɔde me baa atifi fam ɛpono no ano na ɔsusuiɛ. Na ne nsusuiɛ no ne deɛ aka no yɛ pɛ,

36 the cells thereof, the posts thereof, and the arches thereof; and there were windows therein round about; the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.

saa ara na nʼawɛmfoɔ adan, afasuo ntiantia a ɛtwitwa adan no ntam ne ne ntwonoo tɛ sɛ nkaeɛ no, ɛnna mpomma nketenkete wɔ ɛho nyinaa. Na ne tentene yɛ anammɔn aduɔson enum, na ne tɛtrɛtɛ nso yɛ anammɔn aduasa nson ne fa.

37 And the posts thereof were toward the outer court; and palm-trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side; and the going up to it had eight steps.

Ne ntwonoo no ani kyerɛ mfikyire adihɔ hɔ, nʼafadum no afaanu nyinaa ho wɔ mmɛdua a wɔakurukyire, na atrapoe nnidisoɔ nwɔtwe na wɔforo de kɔ hɔ.

38 And a chamber with the entry thereof was by the posts at the gates; there was the burnt-offering to be washed.

Ɛdan bi a ɛpono da ano bɛn ntwonoo a ɛwowɔ apono a ɛwɔ mfimfini no mu biara ho. Ɛhɔ na wɔhohoro ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ ho.

39 And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slay thereon the burnt-offering and the sin-offering and the guilt-offering.

Apono mmienu sisi abɔntenpono ntwonoo mu, na ɛso na wɔkunkum ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ, bɔne afɔdeɛ ne afɔdie afɔdeɛ mmoa.

40 And on the one side without, as one goeth up to the entry of the gate toward the north, were two tables; and on the other side of the porch of the gate were two tables.

Ntwonoo no akyi, atrapoe no nkyɛn mu fa ne fa a ɛrekɔ atifi fam ɛpono no ano no, na apono mmienu sisi hɔ.

41 Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon to slay the sacrifices.

Ɛno enti ɛpono no afa mmienu no, na apono ɛnan sisi ɛfa biara; ne nyinaa yɛ apono nwɔtwe a ɛso na wɔkum mmoa afɔrebɔdeɛ.

42 Moreover there were four tables for the burnt-offering, of hewn stone, a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high, whereupon to lay the instruments wherewith the burnt-offering and the sacrifice are slain.

Aboɔ a wɔatwa apono ɛnan wɔ hɔ ma ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ. Emu biara tentene yɛ anammɔn mmienu ne fa, na ne tɛtrɛtɛ nso yɛ saa ara, ne sorokɔ yɛ ɔnamɔn baako ne fa. Saa apono yi so na wɔde asekan ne nkukuo a wɔde yɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ ne afɔrebɔdeɛ a aka mmoa ho adwuma guo.

43 And the slabs, a handbreadth long, were fastened within round about; and upon the tables was to be the flesh of the offering.

Na kɔtɔkorɔ nta adinam a emu biara tentene yɛ nsateakwaa mmiɛnsa sensɛn afasuo no nyinaa ho. Apono no so na wɔde afɔrebɔ ɛnam guo.

44 And without the inner gate were chambers for the guard in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate, and their prospect was toward the south; one at the side of the east gate having the prospect toward the north.

Mfimfini ɛpono no akyi wɔ mfimfini adihɔ no, na adan mmienu wɔ hɔ; baako bɛn atifi fam ɛpono a ani hwɛ anafoɔ fam, na baako nso bɛn anafoɔ fam ɛpono a ani kyerɛ atifi fam.

45 And he said unto me: 'This chamber, whose prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house.

Ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Ɛdan a ɛwɔ anafoɔ fam no, asɔfoɔ a wɔhwɛ asɔredan no so no dea,

46 And the chamber whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar; these are the sons of Zadok, who from among the sons of Levi come near to the LORD to minister unto Him.'

Na ɛdan a ani kyerɛ atifi fam no yɛ asɔfoɔ a wɔhwɛ afɔrebukyia no so no dea. Yeinom yɛ Sadok mmammarima a wɔn nko ara ne Lewifoɔ a wɔtumi bɛn Awurade na wɔsom wɔ nʼanim.”

47 And he measured the court, a hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar was before the house.

Afei wɔsusuu adihɔ no. Na ɛyɛ ahinanan a ɛfa biara tentene yɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonum. Na afɔrebukyia no si asɔredan no anim.

48 Then he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side; and the breadth of the gate was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side.

Afei ɔde me baa asɔredan no ntwonoo mu, na ɔsusuu ntwonoo no afadum, na ɛfa biara tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn nson ne fa. Na aboboano no tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn aduonu baako. Na afasuo ntiawa a epuepue anim no yɛ anammɔn ɛnan ne fa wɔ nʼafanu.

49 The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; and it was by steps that it was ascended; and there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.

Ntwonoo no tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn aduasa, na ɛfiri anim kɔsi akyire yɛ anammɔn dunwɔtwe. Atwedeɛ nnidisoɔ edu bi na wɔforo de kɔ hɔ. Na adum sisi ntwonoo no afadum no fa biara.
