< Ezekiel 40 >

1 In the twenty-fifth year of our exile at the beginning of the year. on the tenth of the month in the fourteenth year, after the city was smitten, on this selfsame day, came upon me the hand of Yahweh, and he brought me thither:
Le míaƒe aboyomenɔnɔ ƒe ƒe blaeve-vɔ-atɔ̃lia me, le ƒea ƒe gɔmedzedze, le ɣletia ƒe ŋkeke ewolia gbe, le du la ƒe gbagbã ƒe ƒe wuienelia megbe, le ŋkeke ma tututu dzi la, Yehowa ƒe asi nɔ dzinye, eye wòkplɔm yi afi mae.
2 In the visions of God, he brought me into the land of Israel, —and set me down upon an exceeding high mountain, and thereupon, was, as it were the structure of a city, on the south.
Le Mawu ƒe ŋutegawo me la, ekplɔm yi Israelnyigba dzi, eye wòdam ɖe to kɔkɔ aɖe ŋutɔ dzi. Xɔ aɖewo le to kɔkɔ sia ƒe dziehe lɔƒo, eye wòdze abe du gã aɖee ene.
3 And when he brought me thither, then lo! a man whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze, with a flax-cord in his hand and measuring reed, —and he was standing in the gate.
Ekplɔm yi afi ma, eye mekpɔ ame aɖe si ƒe dzedzeme ɖi akɔbli. Etsi tsitre ɖe agboa nu. Elé dzidzeka kple nudzidzeti ɖe asi.
4 And the man spake unto me, saying. Son of man See with thine eyes And with thine ears, hear thou And apply thy heart to whatsoever I am about to show thee, For to the intent it might be shown thee, hast thou been brought hither, - Declare all that thou seest unto the house of Israel.
Amea gblɔ nam be, “Ame vi, kpɔ nu kple wò ŋkuwo, nàse nu kple wò towo, eye nàlé fɔ ɖe nu sia nu si mafia wò la ŋu, elabena eya tae wokplɔ wò va afi sia ɖo. Gblɔ nu sia nu si nàkpɔ la na Israel ƒe aƒe la.”
5 And lo a wall on the outside of the house round about on every side, —and in the hand of the man, was the measuring reed six cubits by the cubit, and a handbreadth, so he measured the breadth of the enclosing-wall, one reed, and the height one reed.
Mekpɔ gli aɖe si ƒo xlã gbedoxɔ la ƒe teƒe kpe ɖo. Dzidzeti si le ŋutsu la si la didi mita etɔ̃. Edzidze gli la; gli la tri dzidzeti ɖeka, eye wòkeke dzidzeti ɖeka.
6 Then came he unto the gate that looked toward the east, and went up by the steps thereof, —and measured the threshold of the gate one reed broad, and the other threshold one reed broad.
Tete wòyi agbo si dze ŋgɔ ɣedzeƒe la gbɔ. Elia eƒe atrakpuiwo, eye wòdzidze agbo la ƒe agbalinu wòkeke dzidzeti ɖeka.
7 And the lodge was one reed long, and one reed broad, and between the lodges, was a space of five cubits, —and the threshold of the gate from beside the porch of the gate inwards, was one reed.
Dzɔlawo ƒe nɔƒe didi dzidzeti ɖeka hekeke dzidzeti ɖeka. Gli siwo do ɖa ɖe nɔƒeawo dome la tri mita eve kple afã, eye teƒe si le agboa nu yi yaxɔƒe si dze ŋgɔ gbedoxɔa la keke dzidzeti ɖeka.
8 Then measured he the porch of the gate inwards, one reed.
Edzidze agbo la ƒe akpata wòkeke dzidzeti ɖeka,
9 Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits, and the projections thereof two cubits, —and the porch of the gate was within,
eye wòdidi mita ene. Yaxɔƒe si le agboa nu la dze ŋgɔ gbedoxɔ la.
10 And, the lodges of the gate that was towards the east, were three on this side and three on that side, one measure, had they three, —and one measure, had the projections on this side and on that side.
Xɔvi etɔ̃ le ɣedzeƒegbo la nu ƒe akpa ɖe sia ɖe; dzidzeme ɖeka li na wo ame etɔ̃awo, eye gli ɖe sia ɖe si do ɖe ŋgɔ la ƒe ŋkume nye didime ma ke.
11 Then measured he the breadth of the entrance of the gate, ten cubits—the length of the gate, thirteen cubits,
Edzidze agbo la ƒe mɔnu wòkeke mita atɔ̃ eye wòdidi mita ade kple afã.
12 And the space before the lodges was one cubit, and one cubit, the space on that side; and the lodge itself was six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.
Gli si kɔ mita afã la le xɔvi ɖe sia ɖe nu, eye xɔviawo ƒe didime kple kekeme siaa nye mita etɔ̃.
13 Then measured he the gate, from the roof of this lodge to the roof of that, a breadth of twenty-five cubits, —entrance over against entrance.
Emegbe la, edzidze agbo la ƒe mɔnu tso xɔvi ɖeka ƒe gli megbetɔ ŋu yi xɔvi si dze ŋgɔe la ƒe gli gbɔ va se ɖe evelia megbe, wòdidi mita wuieve kple afã tso mɔnu yi mɔnu si dze ŋgɔ nɔvia.
14 Then measured he the porch, twenty cubits, —even unto the projection of the court, the lodges of the gate round about on every side;
Edzidze gli siwo do ɖe ŋgɔ la ŋkume ƒo xlã agbo la nu wòde mita blaetɔ̃ va se ɖe agbo la ƒe akpata gbɔ le goawo katã me.
15 and, from the face of the gate outwards, unto the face of the porch of the inner gate, was fifty cubits.
Tso agboa nu yi akpata la ƒe seƒe la le mita blaeve vɔ atɔ̃.
16 And latticed windows had the lodges, even towards their projections within the gate round about on every side, and, so, had the recesses, —and windows round about on every side inwards, and against each projection, palm trees.
Xɔviawo kple gli siwo do ɖe ŋgɔ le agbo la ƒe mɔnu la, mɔnu suesuewo ƒo xlã wo abe yaxɔƒe la ene, eye wo katã wotrɔ mo ɖo ɖe eme lɔƒo. Wota detiwo ɖe domegliawo ŋu.
17 Then he brought me into the outer court, and lo! chambers and a tesselated pavement, made to the court round about on every side, —thirty chambers against the pavement,
Emegbe la, ekplɔm yi xɔxɔnu si le egodo afi si xɔviwo le. Woɖo kpe ɖe anyigba godoo kpe ɖo. Xɔviawo le blaetɔ̃, eye wotsɔ kpe ɖo atsyɔ̃ na wo nu.
18 And the pavement, was against the side of the gates, answering to the length of the gates, —the lower pavement,
Kpenyigba le agbo la ƒe axawo dzi ɖe agbo la ƒe didime nu. Esiae nye kpenyigba si le anyigbeme lɔƒo.
19 Then measured he the breadth, from the front of the lower gate, to the front of the inner court on the outside one hundred cubits, —to the east and the north.
Edzidze didime si le agbo etetɔ kple xɔxɔnu emetɔ dome. Edidi mita blaatɔ̃ le ɣedzeƒe kple anyiehe siaa.
20 And as for the gate which looked towards the north, pertaining to the outer court, he measured the length thereof, and the breadth thereof.
Emegbe la, edzidze anyiehegbo la ƒe didime kple kekeme siaa yi ɖe xɔxɔnu egodotɔ gbɔ.
21 And the lodges thereof were three on this side and three on that side, and the projections thereof and the recesses thereof were according to the measure of the first gate, fifty cubits the length thereof, and, the breadth, twenty-five, by the cubit.
Xɔvi etɔ̃ le axa ɖe sia ɖe dzi. Eƒe domegliwo kple akpata la ƒe didime kple woƒe kekeme sɔ kple agbo gbãtɔ tɔwo. Edidi mita blaeve vɔ atɔ̃, eye wòkeke mita wuieve kple afã.
22 And the windows thereof and the recesses thereof and the palm-trees thereof were according to the measure of the gate that looked toward the east, —and by seven steps, they ascend it, and their recesses were within,
Eƒe mɔnuwo, akpata la kple eƒe detitatawo ƒe dzidzemewo le abe ɣedzeƒegbo la tɔwo ene. Atrakpui adre le eŋu, eye eƒe akpata le atrakpuiawo xa.
23 And the gate to the inner court, was over against the gate, to the north and to the east, —so he measured from gate to gate. one hundred cubits.
Agbo aɖe le xɔxɔnu egodotɔ ŋu dze ŋgɔ anyiehegbo la abe ale si ɖeka nɔ ɣedzeƒe ene. Edzidze nu tso agbo ɖeka nu yi esi le eƒe axadzi gbɔ, wòle mita blaatɔ̃.
24 Then he took me toward the south, and lo! a gate, toward the south, —and he measured the projections thereof and the recesses thereof, according to these measures.
Tete wòkplɔm yi dziehe lɔƒo, eye mekpɔ agbo aɖe si dze ŋgɔ dziehe lɔƒo. Edzidze eƒe gliwo kple eƒe akpata wole abe bubuawo tɔwo ene.
25 And windows were there to it, and the recesses thereof round about on all sides, like these windows, —fifty cubits in length, and in breadth, five-and-twenty cubits.
Fesrewo nɔ agbo la kple eƒe akpata ŋu abe bubuawo ƒe fesrewo ene. Edidi mita blaeve vɔ atɔ̃, eye wòkeke mita wuieve kple afã.
26 And seven steps the ascents thereof, with its recesses within, —and it had palm trees one on this side and one on that side against the projections thereof.
Atrakpui adre nɔ ete, eye eƒe akpata nɔ woƒe akpa eveawo. Wota detiwo ɖe domegliawo ŋu le akpa ɖe sia ɖe me.
27 And a gate, had the inner court towards the south, —so he measured from gate to gate toward the south, a hundred cubits.
Agbo aɖe le xɔxɔnu emetɔ hã ŋu, eye wòdze ŋgɔ dziehe. Edzidze nu tso agbo sia nu yi agbo egodotɔ si nɔ dziehe lɔƒo wòde mita blaatɔ̃.
28 Yea when he brought me to the inner court through the south gate, then measured he the south gate, according to these measures;
Emegbe la, ekplɔm yi xɔxɔnu emetɔ to dziehegbo la nu; edzidze dziehegbo la, eye wònɔ abe bubuawo ene.
29 and the lodges thereof and the projections thereof and the recesses, thereof, were according to these measures, and windows, were there to it, and to the recesses thereof round about on every side, —fifty cubits in length, and in breadth, twenty and five cubits;
Eƒe xɔviwo, domegliwo kple eƒe akpata ƒe dzidzeme nɔ abe bubuawo tɔwo ene. Fesrewo nɔ agbo la nu kple eƒe akpata la ŋu godoo va kpe. Edidi mita blaeve vɔ atɔ̃, eye wòkeke mita wuieve kple afã.
30 and there were recesses round about on every side; —in length, five and twenty cubits, and in breadth, five cubits;
Akpata siwo ƒo xlã xɔxɔnu emetɔ la keke mita wuieve kple afã, eye wode eme mita eve kple afã.
31 and the recesses thereof reached unto the outer court, with palm-trees, against the projections thereof, and eight steps were the ascents thereof.
Eƒe akpata dze ŋgɔ xɔxɔnu egodotɔ; detiwo ɖo atsyɔ̃ na eƒe sɔtiwo, eye atrakpui enyi nɔ ete.
32 And when he brought me unto the inner court toward the east, then measured he the gate, according to these measures;
Tete wòkplɔm yi xɔxɔnu emetɔ si le ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo, eye wòdzidze agbo la; eƒe dzidzeme nɔ abe bubuawo tɔwo ene.
33 and the lodges thereof and the projections thereof and the recesses thereof, according to these measures, and windows were there to it and to the recesses thereof, round about on every side, —in length fifty cubits, and in breadth, five and twenty cubits;
Eƒe xɔviwo, domegliwo kple eƒe akpata ƒe dzidzemewo nɔ abe bubuawo tɔwo ene. Fesrewo nɔ agbo la kple eƒe akpata ŋu ƒo xlã kpe ɖo. Edidi mita blaeve vɔ atɔ̃, eye wòkeke mita wuieve kple afã.
34 and the recesses thereof reached to the outer court, with palm-trees, against the projections thereof, on this side and on that side, —and eight steps, were the ascents thereof.
Eƒe akpata dze ŋgɔ xɔxɔnu egodotɔ, detiwo ɖo atsyɔ̃ na eƒe sɔtiwo le eƒe axa eveawo dzi, eye atrakpui enyi nɔ ete.
35 And when he brought me to the north gate, then measured he according to these measures:
Le esia megbe la, ekplɔm yi anyiehegbo la gbɔ, eye wòdzidzee. Eƒe dzidzemewo nɔ abe bubuawo tɔwo ene,
36 the lodges thereof the projections thereof and the recesses thereof, with, windows, to it round about on every side, —in length, fifty cubits, and, in breadth, five and twenty cubits;
abe eƒe xɔviwo, domegliwo kple eƒe akpata ene, eye fesrewo nɔ eŋu godoo va kpe. Edidi mita blaeve vɔ atɔ̃, eye wòkeke mita wuieve kple afã.
37 and, the recesses thereof, [reached] unto the outer court, with, palm-trees, against the projections thereof on this side and on that side, —and, eight steps, were the ascents thereof.
Eƒe akpata dze ŋgɔ xɔxɔnu egodotɔ, detiwo ɖo atsyɔ̃ na sɔtiawo le akpa eveawo, eye atrakpui enyi le ete.
38 And there was a chamber with its entrance, within the projections at the gates, — there, shall they rinse the ascending-sacrifice,
Xɔ aɖe li si ƒe mɔnu le akpata la ŋu le agbo emetɔ ɖe sia ɖe ŋu, afi siae wokpalaa numevɔsawo le.
39 And in the porch of the gate, were two tables on this side, and two tables, on that side, —to slay thereon the ascending-sacrifice, and the sin-bearer, and the guilt-bearer.
Le akpata si le agbo la nu me la, kplɔ̃ eve le axa ɖe sia ɖe dzi. Kplɔ̃ siawo dzi wowua numevɔsalãwo, nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsalãwo kple fɔɖivɔsalãwo le.
40 And at the side without, in ascending to the entrance of the north gate, were two tables, —and at the other side which pertaineth to the porch of the gate, were two tables.
Le akpata la ƒe gli egodotɔ, te ɖe agbo la nu kple atrakpuiawo ŋu le anyiehegbo la nu la, kplɔ̃ eve li, eye eve bubu hã gale atrakpuiawo ƒe akpa kemɛ.
41 Four tables on this side and four tables on that side by the side of the gate, -eight tables whereupon they shall slay.
Ale kplɔ̃ ene le agbo la ƒe akpa ɖeka, eye kplɔ̃ ene bubu gale agbo la ƒe akpa kemɛ hã; wonye kplɔ̃ enyi siwo dzi wowua vɔsalãwo le.
42 And the four tables for the ascending-offering: were of hewn stone. in length, one cubit and a half, and in breadth, one cubit and a half, and in height, one cubit, —that thereon, they may lay the instruments wherewith they shall slay the ascending-offering and the sacrifice.
Kplɔ̃ ene bubu hã gali siwo wowɔ kple kpe fufuwo hena numevɔsawo; ɖe sia ɖe didi mita ɖeka, keke mita ɖeka, eye wòkɔ mita afã. Woawo dzie wodaa gagbawo ɖo hena numevɔsalãwo kple vɔsa bubuwo ƒe lãwo wuwu.
43 And there were hooks of three hand-breadth fastened within round about on every side, —and upon the tables, the flesh of the offering.
Woklã nu siwo woatsɔ nuwo akui, eye nu eve li na ɖe sia ɖe la ɖe gliawo ŋu kpe ɖo. Ɖe sia ɖe didi abe asi ɖeka ene. Kplɔ̃awo li na vɔsawo ƒe lãwo.
44 And on the outside of the inner gate, were the chambers of the singers in the inner court which was at the side of the north gate, and their front was toward the south, —one, at the side of the south gate, fronting, toward the north.
Le agbo egodotɔ godo, le xɔxɔnu emetɔ me la, xɔ eve li, ɖeka le anyiehegbo la xa, eye wòdze ŋgɔ dziehe; evelia le agbo si le dziehe gome la xa, eye wòdze ŋgɔ anyiehe.
45 Then spake he unto me saying, This chamber whose front is toward the south, is for the priests keeping the charge of the house;
Egblɔ nam be, “Xɔ si dze ŋgɔ dziehe gome lae nye nunɔla siwo kpɔa gbedoxɔ la dzi la tɔ,
46 and the chamber whose front is towards the north is for the priests keeping the charge of the altar, -the same are the sons of Zadok—who draw near from among the sons of Levi unto Yahweh. to wait upon him.
eye esi dze ŋgɔ anyiehe lae nye nunɔla siwo kpɔa vɔsamlekpui la dzi tɔ. Ame siawoe nye Zadok ƒe viwo, ame siawo koe nye Levitɔ siwo ate ɖe Yehowa ŋu be woasubɔ le eŋkume.”
47 Then measured he the court, the length, a hundred cubits, and the breadth, a hundred cubits foursquare, —with the altar before the house.
Edzidze xɔxɔnu la; eƒe didime sɔ kple eƒe kekeme si nye mita blaatɔ̃. Vɔsamlekpui la le gbedoxɔ la ŋgɔ.
48 And when he brought me unto the porch of the house, then measured he the projection of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side, —and the breadth of the gate, was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side:
Ekplɔm va gbedoxɔ la ƒe akpata me, eye wòdzidze akpata la ƒe domegliwo; wokeke mita eve kple afã le akpa ɖe sia ɖe. Eƒe mɔnu keke mita adre, eye eƒe gliwo keke mita ɖeka kple afã le akpa ɖe sia ɖe.
49 the length of the porch was twenty cubits and the breadth twelve cubits, and by ten steps they ascend into it, - and there were pillars against the projections, one on this side, and one on that side.
Akpata la keke mita ewo, eye wòdidi mita ade tso ŋgɔ yi megbe. Atrakpuiwo le ete, eye sɔtiwo le domegliawo ƒe akpa ɖe sia ɖe.
