Jezekiel 46
1 Thus says the Lord God; The gate that is in the inner court, that looks eastward, shall be shut the six working days; [but] let it be opened on the sabbath-day, and it shall be opened on the day of the new moon.
“‘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 the inner gate, and shall stand at the entrance of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his whole burnt offerings and his peace-offerings, and he shall worship at the entrance of the gate: then shall he come forth; but the gate shall not be shut till evening.
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 And the people of the land shall worship at the entrance of that gate, both on the sabbaths and at the new moons, before the Lord.
Home nna ne ɔbosome foforɔ nna no, ɛsɛ sɛ asase no sofoɔ sɔre wɔ Awurade anim wɔ ɛpono no aboboano.
4 And the prince shall offer whole burnt offerings to the Lord on the sabbath-day, six 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 a free will offering, a meat-offering for the ram, and a meat-offering for the lambs, the gift of his hand, and a hin of oil for the meat-offering.
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 on the day of the new moon a calf without blemish, and six lambs, and there shall be a ram 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 a meat-offering for the ram, and there shall be a meat-offering for the calf as a free will offering, and for the lambs, according as his hand can furnish, and [there shall be] a hin of oil for the cake.
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 goes in, he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and he shall go forth by the way of the gate.
Na sɛ ɔhene no rebɛhyɛne mu a, ɔmfa ɛpono no ntwonoo no mu, na ɛsɛ sɛ ɛhɔ ara na ɔfa de firi adi.
9 And whenever the people of the land shall go in before the Lord at the feasts, he that goes in by the way of the north gate to worship shall go forth by the way of the south gate; and he that goes in by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the gate by which he entered, but he shall go forth opposite 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 enter with them in the midst of them when they go in; and when they go forth, he shall go forth.
Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhene no fra wɔn mu; ɔne wɔn bɛba mu na ɔne wɔn afiri adi.
11 And in the feasts and in the general assemblies the free will oblation shall be a meat-offering for the calf, and a meat-offering for the ram, and for the lambs, as his hand can furnish, and a hin of oil for the meat-offering.
“‘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 And if the prince should prepare [as] a thanksgiving a whole burnt-peace-offering to the Lord, and should open for himself the gate looking eastward, and offer his whole burnt offering, and his peace-offerings, as he does on the sabbath-day; then shall he go out, and shall shut the doors after he has gone out.
“‘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 And he shall prepare daily as a whole burnt offering to the Lord a lamb of a year old without blemish: in the morning shall he prepare it.
“‘Da biara da, anɔpa biara, ɛsɛ sɛ wode odwammaa a wadi afe na ɔnni dɛm bɛbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ma Awurade.
14 And he shall prepare a free will offering for it in the morning, the sixth part of a measure [of flour], and a third part of a hin of oil to mix [therewith] the fine flour, [as] a free will offering to the Lord, a perpetual ordinance.
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 You shall prepare the lamb, and the free will offering, and the oil in the morning, [for] a perpetual whole burnt sacrifice.
Ɛno enti wɔde odwammaa ne atokoɔ afɔrebɔdeɛ ne ngo no bɛma anɔpa biara sɛ daa ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ.
16 Thus says the Lord God; If the prince shall give a gift to one of his sons out of his inheritance, this shall be to his sons a possession [as] an 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 he give a gift to one of his servants, then it shall belong to him until the year of release; and [then] he shall restore [it] to the prince: but of the inheritance of his sons [the possession] shall continue to 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 And the prince shall by no means take of the inheritance of the people, to oppress them: he shall give an inheritance to his sons out of his [own] possession: that my people be not scattered, every one 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 And he brought me into the entrance of the [place] behind the gate, into the chamber of the sanctuary belonging to the priests, that looks toward the north: and, behold, there was a place set apart.
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 And he said to me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass-offerings and the sin-offerings, and there shall they bake the meat-offering always; so as not to carry [them] out into the outer court, to sanctify the 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 And he brought me into the outer court, and led me round upon the four sides of the court; and, behold, there was a court on [each of] the sides of the 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 on [every] side a court, [even] a court for all the four [sides], and [each] little court belonging to the court was in length forty cubits, and [in] breadth thirty cubits, [there was] one measure to the four.
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 were] chambers in them round about, round about the four, and cooking-places formed under the chambers round about.
Afasuo no mu biara anim no na wɔahyehyɛ aboɔ de aseɛ no ayɛ bukyia wɔ afaafa nyinaa.
24 And he said to me, These are the cooks' houses, where they that serve the house shall boil the sacrifices of the people.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Yeinom ne mukaase a wɔn a wɔsom wɔ asɔredan mu no bɛnoa nkurɔfoɔ no afɔrebɔdeɛ.”
