Ezekiel 43
1 And he causes me to go to the gate, the gate that is looking eastward.
Tete ame la kplɔm va agbo si dze ŋgɔ ɣedzeƒe la gbɔ,
2 And behold, the glory of the God of Israel has come from the way of the east, and His voice [is] as the noise of many waters, and the earth has shone from His glory.
eye mekpɔ Israel ƒe Mawu la ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe wògbɔna tso ɣedzeƒe. Eƒe gbe ɖi tɔsisiwo ƒe hoowɔwɔ, eye eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe na anyigba la nɔ keklẽm.
3 And according to the appearance [is] the appearance that I saw, as the appearance that I saw in my coming in to destroy the city, and the appearances [are] as the appearance that I saw at the river Chebar, and I fall on my face.
Ŋutega si mekpɔ la ɖi ŋutega si mekpɔ esi wòva be yeagbã du la kple ŋutega si mekpɔ le Kebar tɔsisi la to. Tete metsyɔ mo anyi.
4 And the glory of YHWH has come into the house, the way of the gate whose face [is] eastward.
Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ge ɖe gbedoxɔ la me to agbo si dze ŋgɔ ɣedzeƒe la me.
5 And [the] Spirit takes me up, and brings me into the inner court, and behold, the glory of YHWH has filled the house.
Tete Gbɔgbɔ la kɔm ɖe dzi heyi xɔxɔnu emetɔ, eye Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe yɔ gbedoxɔ la me.
6 And I hear one speaking to me from the house, and a man has been standing near me,
Esime ŋutsu la tsi tsitre ɖe axanye la, mese ame aɖe wònɔ nu ƒom nam tso gbedoxɔ la me.
7 and He says to me: “Son of man, the place of My throne, And the place of the soles of My feet, Where I dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel for all time, The house of Israel defiles My holy Name no longer, They, and their kings, by their whoredom, And by the carcasses of their kings—their high places.
Egblɔ nam be, “Ame vi, afi siae nye nye fiazikpui ƒe nɔƒe kple teƒe na nye afɔƒome. Teƒe siae nye afi si manɔ le Israelviwo dome tegbetegbe. Israel ƒe aƒe la magado gu nye ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la kple woƒe fiawo to woƒe gbolowɔwɔ kple legba siwo me agbe mele o le woƒe nuxeƒewo o.
8 In their putting their threshold with My threshold, And their doorpost near My doorpost, And the wall between Me and them, And they have defiled My holy Name, By their abominations that they have done, And I consume them in My anger.
Ne wotsɔ woƒe kpuiwo ɖo nye kpui nu, woƒe ʋɔtrutiwo ɖo nye ʋɔtrutiwo nu, eye gli koe tso nye kpli wo dome la, wodo gu nye ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la to woƒe ŋukpenanuwo wɔwɔ me. Ale metsrɔ̃ wo le nye dɔmedzoe me.
9 Now they put their whoredom far off, And the carcasses of their kings—from Me, And I have dwelt in their midst for all time.
Azɔ la, na woaɖe woƒe gbolowɔwɔ kple woƒe fiawo ƒe legba siwo me agbe mele o la ɖa tso gbɔnye, ekema manɔ wo dome tegbee.
10 You, son of man, Show the house of Israel the house, And they are ashamed of their iniquities, And they have measured the measurement.
“Ame vi, ƒo nu tso gbedoxɔ la ŋu na Israelviwo, ale be woƒe nu vɔ̃wo nakpe ŋu na wo. Na woabu ɖoɖo la ŋu,
11 And since they have been ashamed of all that they have done, The form of the house, and its measurement, And its outlets, and its inlets, and all its forms, And all its statutes, even all its forms, And all its laws—cause them to know, And write [it] before their eyes, And they observe all its forms, And all its statutes, and have done them.
eye ne ŋu kpe wo le nu siwo wowɔ ta la, na woanya gbedoxɔ la ƒe nɔnɔme, afi siwo woato age ɖe eme kple afi siwo woato ado go, eƒe nɔnɔme blibo la kple ɖoɖowo katã kple seawo katã. Ŋlɔ nu siawo da ɖi le woƒe ŋkume, ale be woalé woƒe ɖoɖowo kple sewo me ɖe asi.
12 This [is] a law of the house: on the top of the mountain, all its border all around [is] most holy; behold, this [is] a law of the house.
“Esiae nye gbedoxɔ la ƒe se. Teƒe siwo katã ƒo xlãe le to la dzi la anye teƒe kɔkɔe. Esiae nye gbedoxɔ la ƒe se.”
13 And these [are] measurements of the altar by cubits: the cubit [is] a cubit and a handbreadth, and the center [is] a cubit, and the breadth a cubit; and its border on its edge around [is] one span, and this [is] the upper part of the altar.
“Esiawoe nye vɔsamlekpui la ƒe dzidzeme. Eƒe tsitoƒe de eme mita afã, eye wòkeke mita afã; woɖo to nɛ si kɔ asiƒo afã. Vɔsamlekpui la ƒe kɔkɔme le ale:
14 And from the center of the ground to the lower border [is] two cubits, and the breadth—one cubit, and from the lesser border to the greater border—four cubits, and the breadth a cubit.
Tso tsitoƒe si le anyigba va se ɖe kɔ etetɔ ŋu le mita ɖeka, eye wòkeke mita afã. Tso kɔ suetɔ gbɔ va se ɖe kɔ gãtɔ gbɔ la kɔ mita eve, eye wòkeke mita afã.
15 And the altar [is] four cubits, and from the altar and upward [are] four horns.
Vɔsamlekpui la ƒe dzodoƒe kɔ mita eve, eye lãdzo eve tso dzodoƒe la ŋu do ɖe yame.
16 And the altar [is] twelve long by twelve broad, square in its four sides.
Vɔsamlekpui la ƒe dzodoƒe sɔ le didime kple kekeme siaa, eye ɖe sia ɖe nye mita ade.
17 And the border [is] fourteen long by fourteen broad, at its four sides, and the border around it [is] half a cubit, and the center of it [is] a cubit around, and its steps are looking eastward.”
Kɔ yametɔ hã sɔ le didime kple kekeme me, eye ɖe sia ɖe didi mita adre, woɖo to nɛ ƒo xlã wòkɔ mita afã ƒe afã. Tsitoƒe la de eme mita afã ƒo xlã va kpe. Vɔsamlekpui la ƒe atrakpuiwo dze ŋgɔ ɣedzeƒe.”
18 And He says to me, “Son of man, thus said Lord YHWH: These [are] statutes of the altar in the day of its being made to cause burnt-offering to go up on it, and to sprinkle blood on it.
Tete wògblɔ nam be, “Ame vi, nya si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Esiawoe anye ɖoɖowo na numevɔsawo kple ʋuhehlẽ ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ŋu ne wotui.
19 And you have given to the priests, the Levites—who [are] of the seed of Zadok, who are near to Me, a declaration of Lord YHWH, to serve Me—a calf from the herd, for a sin-offering.
Ele na wò be nàtsɔ nyitsu fɛ̃ ɖeka abe nuvɔ̃ŋutivɔsa ene na nunɔlawo, ame siwo nye Levitɔwo tso Zadok ƒe ƒome me, ame siwo va subɔna le nye ŋkume.’ Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.
20 And you have taken of its blood, and have put it on its four horns, and on the four corners of its border, and on the border all around, and have cleansed it, and purified it.
Ele na wò be nàku lã la ƒe ʋu aɖe asi ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ƒe lãdzo eneawo kple kɔ eneawo ƒe dzogoewo ŋu aƒo xlã kpe ɖo, ale nàkɔ vɔsamlekpui la ŋu, eye nàlé avu ɖe enu.
21 And you have taken the bullock of the sin-offering, and have burned it in the appointed place of the house at the outside of the sanctuary.
Ele na wò be nàtsɔ nyitsu na nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa, eye nàtɔ dzoe le teƒe si woɖo ɖi nɛ le gbedoxɔ la me le kɔkɔeƒe la godo.
22 And on the second day you bring a kid of the goats near, a perfect one, for a sin-offering, and they have cleansed the altar, as they cleansed [it] for the bullock.
“Le ŋkeke evelia gbe la, ele be nàna gbɔ̃tsu si ŋu kpɔtsɔtsɔ aɖeke mele o la na nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa, eye woakɔ vɔsamlekpui la ŋu abe ale si wokɔ eŋui kple nyitsu la ene.
23 In your finishing cleansing, you bring a calf near, a son of the herd, a perfect one, and a ram out of the flock, a perfect one.
Ne èwu eŋutikɔkɔ nu vɔ la, ele na wò be nàna nyitsu fɛ̃ aɖe kple agbo aɖe tso lãha la me; kpɔtsɔtsɔ manɔ wo dometɔ aɖeke ŋu o.
24 And you have brought them near before YHWH, and the priests have cast salt on them, and have caused them to go up, a burnt-offering to YHWH.
Ele na wò be nàna wo le Yehowa ŋkume, eye nunɔlaawo awu dze ɖe wo dzi, eye woatsɔ wo asa numevɔe na Yehowa.
25 [For] seven days you prepare a goat daily for a sin-offering; and they also prepare a bullock, a son of the herd, and a ram out of the flock—perfect ones.
“Ele na wò be nàna gbɔ̃tsu ɖeka gbe sia gbe, ŋkeke adre hena nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa, eye nàgana nyitsu fɛ̃ ɖeka kple agbo ɖeka tso lãha la me, kpɔtsɔtsɔ manɔ wo dometɔ aɖeke ŋu o.
26 [For] seven days they purify the altar, and have cleansed it, and filled their hand.
Woawɔ avuléle ɖe vɔsamlekpui la nu ŋkeke adre, wɔakɔ eŋuti, eye woatsɔe ana.
27 And the days are completed, and it has come to pass on the eighth day, and from now on, the priests prepare your burnt-offerings and your peace-offerings on the altar, and I have accepted you—a declaration of Lord YHWH.”
Le ŋkeke siawo ƒe nuwuwu, tso ŋkeke enyilia gbe yina la, nunɔlaawo awɔ miaƒe numevɔsawo kple akpedavɔsawo le vɔsamlekpui la dzi. Ekema maxɔ mi. Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.”
