Ezekiel 43

1 Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looks 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 a noise of many waters: and the earth shined 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 it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw 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 the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.

Awurade animuonyam faa ɛpono a ani kyerɛ apueeɛ fam no mu hyɛnee asɔredan no mu.

5 So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD 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 him speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood 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, 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 my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcasses 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 their setting of their threshold by my thresholds, and their post by my posts, and the wall between me and them, they have even defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed: wherefore I have 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 whoredom, and the carcasses 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 You son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of 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 ashamed of all that they have done, show them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the activities out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and 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 ordinances 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 the whole limit thereof round about shall be 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 after the cubits: The cubit is a cubit and an hand breadth; even the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about shall be a span: and this shall be the higher place 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 even to the lower settle shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser settle even to the greater settle shall be four cubits, and the breadth one 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 So the altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar and upward shall be four horns.

Afɔrebukyia no wisie tokuro no ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn nsia na mmɛn ɛnan a ano hwɛ soro tuatua ho.

16 And the altar shall be twelve cubits long, twelve broad, square in the four squares thereof.

Afɔrebukyia wisie tokuro no yɛ ahinanan, na ɛfa biara yɛ anammɔn dunwɔtwe.

17 And the settle shall be fourteen cubits long and fourteen broad in the four squares thereof; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and the bottom thereof shall be a cubit about; and his stairs shall look 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 says the Lord GOD; These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer 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 you shall give to the priests the Levites that be of the seed of Zadok, which approach unto me, to minister unto me, says the Lord GOD, 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 you shall take of the blood thereof, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the border round about: thus shall you cleanse and purge 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 You shall take the bullock also of the sin offering, and he shall burn it in the appointed place of the house, without 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 you shall offer a kid of the goats without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they did cleanse 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 you have made an end of cleansing it, you shall offer 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 you shall offer them before the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering unto the LORD.

Ɛsɛ sɛ wode wɔn ba Awurade anim, na asɔfoɔ de nkyene pete wɔn so na wɔde bɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ma Awurade.

25 Seven days shall you prepare every day a goat for a sin offering: they shall also prepare 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 purge the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate themselves.

Wɔbɛyɛ mpatadeɛ ama afɔrebukyia no nnanson de ate ho; sei na wɔbɛyɛ de asi hɔ ama dwumadie.

27 And when these days are expired, it shall be, that upon the eighth day, and so forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings upon the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, says the Lord GOD.

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.”
