Ezekiel 43
1 Then did he lead me to the gate, even the gate that was turned in an eastern direction.
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 gave light from 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 like the appearance of the vision which I had seen, yea, like the vision that I had seen when I came to destroy the city; and the visions were like the vision that I had seen by the river Kebar: 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 which was turned in an eastern direction.
Awurade animuonyam faa ɛpono a ani kyerɛ apueeɛ fam no mu hyɛnee asɔredan no mu.
5 Then did the Spirit take me up, and bring 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 a man was standing alongside of 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, [this] is 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 forever: and the house of Israel shall not defile any more my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their lewdness, nor by the carcasses of their kings on 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 Inasmuch as they placed their threshold by my threshold, and their door-posts close by my door-posts, and the wall being only between me and them, and they defiled my holy name by their abominations which they committed; so that I made an end of them in my 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 will they have to put away their lewdness, 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 Thou, son of man, tell the house of Israel of the house, that they may be confounded because of their iniquities: and let them measure the outlines.
“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 confounded because of all that they have done: then let them know the form of the house, and its arrangements, and its means of egress, and its entrances, and all its forms, and all its statutes, and all its forms, and all its laws, and write them down before their eyes; that they may observe the whole of its form, and all its statutes, and carry them out.
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 for the house, Upon the top of the mount shall its whole limit all round about be most holy: behold, this is the law for 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 in cubits, The cubit is a cubit and a hand-breadth; and the bottom shall be a cubit high, and a cubit broad, and its border on its edge round about shall be a span: and this shall be the outside 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 up to the lower projection shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser projection up to the greater projection 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 And the upper portion of the altar shall be four cubits; and from the upper surface of the altar and upward shall be the four horns.
Afɔrebukyia no wisie tokuro no ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn nsia na mmɛn ɛnan a ano hwɛ soro tuatua ho.
16 And the upper surface of the altar shall be twelve cubits long, by twelve broad, square on its four sides.
Afɔrebukyia wisie tokuro no yɛ ahinanan, na ɛfa biara yɛ anammɔn dunwɔtwe.
17 And the projection shall be fourteen cubits in length, by fourteen in breadth on its four sides; and the border round about it shall be half a cubit; and its bottom shall be a cubit round about; and its steps 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 hath said the Lord Eternal, These are the statutes of the altar on the day when it shall be finished, to offer thereon burnt-offerings, and to sprinkle thereon blood.
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 thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that are of the seed of Zadok, who approach unto me, saith the Lord Eternal, to minister unto me, 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 thou shalt take of his blood, and put it on its four horns, and on the four corners of the projection, and upon the border round about; and thou shalt cleanse it and make an atonement for 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 And thou shalt take the bullock of the sin-offering, and some one shall burn him at an 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 shalt thou offer a he-goat 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 thou hast made an end of cleansing it, shalt thou 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 thou shalt bring them near before the Lord, and the priests shall throw salt upon them, and they shall offer them up as 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 shalt thou prepare a goat for a sin-offering every day; and a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish shall they prepare.
“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 atone for the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate the same.
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 on the eighth day, and thenceforward, the priests shall prepare upon the altar your burnt-offerings, and your peace-offerings: and I will accept you in favor, saith the Lord Eternal.
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.”
