1 And he brought me into the inner court eastward, opposite the northern gate: and he brought me in, and behold five chambers near the vacant space, and near the northern partition,
Afei ɔbarima no dii mʼanim faa atifi fam kɔɔ mfikyiri adiwo hɔ de me baa adan a ɛne asɔredan adiwo no di nhwɛanim no mu, na ɛne atifi fam mfikyiri fasu no nso di nhwɛanim.
2 a hundred cubits in length toward the north, and in breadth fifty,
Ɔdan a ne pon kyerɛ atifi fam yi tenten yɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonum, na ne trɛw nso yɛ anammɔn aduɔson anum.
3 ornamented accordingly as the gates of the inner court, and arranged accordingly as the peristyles of the outer court, [with] triple porticos fronting one another.
Adan a ɛne mfimfini adiwo no ntam kwan yɛ anammɔn aduasa ne adan a ɛne mfikyiri adiwo no kwan di nhwɛanim no, ɛso mmrannaa no kyerɛkyerɛ anim wɔ asan abiɛsa no mu biara so.
4 And in front of the chambers was a walk ten cubits in breadth, the length [reaching] to a hundred cubits; and their doors were northward.
Adan no anim no na ɔkwan bi da a ne trɛw yɛ anammɔn dunum na ne tenten yɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonum. Wɔn apon no ano kyerɛkyerɛ atifi fam.
5 And the upper walks were in like manner: for the peristyle projected from it, [even] from the range of columns below, and [there was] a space between; so [were there] a peristyle and a space between, and so [were there] two porticos.
Adan a ɛwɔ asan a ɛwɔ soro no mu no susua, efisɛ na nʼabrannaa no mu trɛw sen mmrannaa a ɛwowɔ asan a edidi ase no.
6 For they were triple, and they had not pillars like the pillars of the outer ones: therefore they projected from the lower ones and the middle ones from the ground.
Adan a ɛwɔ asan a ɛto so abiɛsa no nni afadum sɛnea asan a ɛwɔ ase no wɔ no; enti na mu susua sen adan a ɛwowɔ asan a edidi ase no.
7 And [there was] light without, corresponding to the chambers of the outer court looking toward the front of the northern chambers; the length [of them was] fifty cubits.
Na ɔfasu bi wɔ nkyɛn a ɛne adan no ne mfikyiri adiwo no sa so; na ne tenten yɛ anammɔn aduɔson anum a ɛfa adan no anim.
8 For the length of the chambers looking toward the inner court was fifty cubits, and these are the ones that front the others; the whole was a hundred cubits.
Adan a ɛsa so na ɛtoa mfikyiri adiwo no so no tenten yɛ anammɔn aduɔson anum, nanso adan a ɛsa so a ɛbɛn kronkronbea no tenten yɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonum.
9 And [there were] doors of these chambers for an outlet toward the east, so that one should go through them out of the outer court,
Sɛ obi fi mfikyiri adiwo reba mu a, obehu sɛ adan a ɛwɔ fam pa ara no abobow ano ani kyerɛ apuei fam.
10 by the opening of the walk at the corner; and the south parts were toward the south, toward the remaining space, and toward the partition, and [so were] the chambers.
Anafo fam, wɔ mfikyiri adiwo no fasu a ɛkɔ asɔredan no adiwo, na ɛne mfikyiri fasu no di nhwɛanim no ho, na adan bi wɔ hɔ a
11 And the walk was in front of them, according to the measures of the chambers toward the north, both according to the length of them, and according to the breadth of them, and according to all their openings, an according to all their turnings, and according to their lights, and according to their doors.
ɔkwan bi da anim. Saa adan yi te sɛ adan a ɛwɔ atifi fam no; nʼatenten ne ne trɛw yɛ pɛ, ho apon a wɔfa mu pue no atenten yɛ pɛ. Apon a ɛwɔ atifi fam no
12 [So were the measures] of the chambers toward the south, and according to the doors at the entrance of the walk, as it were the distance of a reed for light, and eastward as one went in by them.
nso sesɛ adan a ɛwɔ anafo fam apon no. Na ɔpon bi wɔ ɔkwan a ɛne ɔfasu a ɛkɔ apuei fam no sa so no ano, ɛhɔ na wɔfa kɔ adan no mu.
13 And he said to me, The chambers toward the north, and the chambers toward the south, in front of the void spaces, these are the chambers of the sanctuary, wherein the priests the sons of Sadduc, who draw night to the Lord, shall eat the most holy things: and there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat-offering, and the sin-offerings, and the trespass-offerings; because the place is holy.
Na ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Atifi fam ne anafo fam adan a ani hwɛ asɔredan adiwo no yɛ asɔfo no dea, ɛhɔ na asɔfo a wɔkɔ Awurade anim no bedi afɔrebɔde kronkron no. Ɛhɔ na wɔde afɔrebɔde kronkron pa ara a ɛyɛ aduan afɔrebɔde, bɔne afɔrebɔde ne afɔdi afɔrebɔde no begu, efisɛ beae no yɛ kronkron.
14 None shall go in there except the priests, [and] they shall not go forth of the holy place into the outer court, that they that draw near [to me] may be continually holy, and may not touch their garments in which they minister, [with defilement], for they are holy; and they shall put on other garments whenever they come in contact with the people.
Sɛ asɔfo no kɔ beae kronkron hɔ a ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔkɔ mfikyiri adiwo hɔ kosi sɛ wobeyiyi wɔn ɔsom ntade agu hɔ, efisɛ saa ntade no yɛ kronkron. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhyɛ ntade foforo bi ansa na wɔabɛn mmeaemmeae a ɔmanfo tumi kɔ hɔ no.”
15 So the measurement of the house within was accomplished: and he brought me forth by the way of the gate that looks eastward, and measured the plan of the house round about in order.
Osusuw nea ɛwɔ asɔredan no mu wiee no, ɔde me faa apuei pon no ano puei, na osusuw asɔredan no hyiae.
16 And he stood behind the gate looking eastward, and measured five hundred [cubits] with the measuring reed.
Ɔde susudua no susuw apuei fam; na ɛyɛ anammɔn ahanson ne aduonum.
17 And he turned to the north and measured in front of the north [side] five hundred cubits with the measuring reed.
Osusuw atifi fam na ɛyɛ anammɔn ahanson ne aduonum.
18 And he turned to the west, and measured in front of the west side, five hundred [cubits] with the measuring reed.
Osusuw anafo fam na ɛyɛ anammɔn ahanson ne aduonum.
19 And he turned to the south, and measured in front of the south side, five hundred [cubits] by the measuring reed.
Afei ɔdan nʼani hwɛɛ atɔe fam, na osusuwii no, na ɛyɛ anammɔn ahanson ne aduonum.
20 The [four sides he measured] by the same reed, and he marked out the house and the circumference of the parts round about, [a space] of five hundred [cubits] eastward, and a breadth of five hundred cubits, to make a division between the sanctuary and the outer wall, that [belonged to] the design of the house.
Enti na nʼafefare mu no yɛ anammɔn ahanson ne aduonum wɔ ahinanan no nyinaa, de tew kronkronbea no ho fi kwasafo atenae no ho.
