< Ezekiel 43 >

1 Then he took me unto the gate, —even the gate that looked toward the east;
Na ɔbarima no de me baa apuei fam pon no ano,
2 when lo! the glory of the God of Israel coming from the way of the east, —and the sound of him, was as the sound of many waters, and the earth shone with his glory.
na mihuu Israel Nyankopɔn anuonyam sɛ apue wɔ apuei fam reba. Na ne nne te sɛ asuten a ɛreworo, na asase no so hyerɛnee wɔ nʼanuonyam no mu.
3 And it was like the appearance of the vision which I had seen like the vision which I saw—when I came in to destroy the city, also the visions were like the vision which I saw by the river Chebar, —so I fell upon my face.
Anisoadehu a minyaa no te sɛnea minyaa no bere a ɔba bɛsɛee kuropɔn no ne nea minyaa wɔ Asubɔnten Kebar ho no, na mede mʼanim butuw fam.
4 And the glory of Yahweh entered into the house, —by way of the gate which looked toward the east.
Awurade anuonyam faa ɔpon a ani kyerɛ apuei fam no mu hyɛn asɔredan no mu.
5 So then the spirit lifted me up, and brought me into the inner court, —and lo! the glory of Yahweh filled the house.
Na honhom no pagyaw me de me baa mfimfini adiwo hɔ na Awurade anuonyam hyɛɛ asɔredan no ma.
6 Then heard I one speaking unto me. out of the house, —and a man, there was standing beside me.
Bere a ɔbarima no gyina me ho no, metee sɛ obi rekasa fi asɔredan no mu kyerɛ me.
7 Then said he unto me, Son of man This is the place of my throne and the place of the soles of my feet where I would dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel to times age-abiding, - But the house of Israel must, no more defile my holy Name. They, nor their kings by their unchastity, and by the carcases of their kings in their high places,
Ɔkae se, “Onipa ba, ɛha ne mʼahengua sibea ne mʼanan ntiaso. Ɛha na mɛtena wɔ Israelfo mu afebɔɔ. Israelfi rengu me din ho fi bio da; wɔn anaa wɔn ahemfo remfa wɔn aguamammɔ ne ahemfo no ahoni a nkwa nni mu a wɔwowɔ wɔn sorɔnsorɔmmea no ngu me din ho fi.
8 When they placed— Their threshold by my threshold and their door-post beside my door-post, With, only the wall, between me and them, then defiled they my holy Name by their abominations which they committed, Wherefore I devoured them in mine anger.
Bere a wɔmaa wɔn abobow ano bɛnee me, na wɔn apongua nso bɛnee me de a na ɔfasu na etwa yɛn ntam no, wɔde wɔn akyiwadeyɛ guu me din kronkron ho fi. Ɛno nti mesɛee wɔn wɔ mʼabufuw mu.
9 Now, let them remove their unchastity and the carcases of their kings far from me, - So will I make my habitation in the midst of them, to times age-abiding.
Afei ma wonnyi wɔn aguamammɔ ne ahemfo no ahoni a wonni nkwa no mfi mʼani so, na mɛtena wɔn mu afebɔɔ.
10 Thou, son of man, Declare the house unto the house of Israel, That they may be put to the blush for their iniquities, - Then let them measure the pattern.
“Onipa ba, kyerɛkyerɛ Israelfo sɛnea asɔredan no te na wɔn ani nwu wɔ wɔn bɔne ho. Ma wonsusuw ne so a enni no ho mfoni ho,
11 And when they have blushed for all that they have done, then The form of the house. And the arrangement thereof And the exits thereof. And the entrances thereof And all the forms thereof, and all the statutes thereof. And all the forms thereof and all the laws thereof, make thou known unto them, And write [it] before their eyes; That they may keep— All the forms thereof And all the statutes thereof. And do them.
na sɛ wɔn ani wu nea wɔayɛ ho a, twa asɔredan no mfoni kyerɛ wɔn; ne ntotoe, apon a wɔfa mu pue ne nea wɔfa kɔ mu, ne mfoni nyinaa, ho akwankyerɛ nyinaa ne mmara. Kyerɛw saa nneɛma yi wɔ wɔn anim na wɔadi me ntotoe ne ne si no mfoni no so.
12 This shall be the law of the house, — Upon the top of the mountain, all the boundary thereof round about on every side, [shall be] most holy, Lo! this, shall be the law of the house.
“Asɔredan no ho mmara ni: Asase a ɛda ho wɔ bepɔw no so nyinaa yɛ kronkron. Sɛɛ na asɔredan no ho mmara te.
13 And these, shall be the measures of the altar, in cubits, a cubit being a cubit and a handbreadth; and the hollow, shall be a cubit, and a cubit the breadth, and the boundary thereof unto the edge thereof round about shall be a single span. And this, shall be the upper part of the altar,
“Afɔremuka no nsusuwii na edidi so yi. Ne suka mu dɔ yɛ ɔnammɔn ne fa na ne trɛw nso saa ara, na anoano hiɛ a etwa ho hyia no nso trɛw bɛyɛ nsateaa akron. Na eyi nso ne afɔremuka no tenten:
14 And from the hollow of the ground unto the lower ledge, [shall be] two cubits, and the breadth, one cubit, - and from the smaller ledge unto the larger ledge, [shall be] four cubits, and the breadth, a cubit.
Efi ne nnyinaso a esi suka no so kɔ ne soro yɛ anammɔn abiɛsa, na mu piw nso yɛ ɔnammɔn ne fa, na apa ketewa no ne apa kɛse no ntam yɛ anammɔn asia na apa no mu piw nso yɛ ɔnammɔn ne fa.
15 And the hearth, [shall, be] four cubits, —and from the hearth and upward, the horns [shall be] four.
Afɔremuka no wusiw tokuru no sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn asia a mmɛn anan a ano hwɛ soro tuatua ho.
16 And the hearth shall be twelve cubits in length, by twelve in breadth—square in the four sides thereof.
Afɔremuka wusiw tokuru no yɛ ahinanan, na ɔfa biara yɛ anammɔn dunwɔtwe.
17 And the ledge shall be fourteen in length, by fourteen in breadth, unto the four sides thereof, —and the boundary round about it shall be half a cubit and, the hollow thereto, a cubit round about, with, the steps thereof, looking toward the east.
Afɔremuka no apa a ɛwɔ soro no nso yɛ ahinanan a afanan no mu biara yɛ anammɔn aduonu baako, na kaa a ɛyɛ nsateaa akron da apa no ano na suka a atwa ho ahyia yɛ ɔnammɔn ne fa. Atrapoe a ɛkɔ afɔremuka no so no ani hwɛ apuei fam.”
18 Then said he unto me, Son of man, Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh, These, shall be the statutes of the altar, in the day when it is made, —for offering up thereon—an ascending-sacrifice, and for dashing thereon—blood.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Onipa ba, sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Eyinom na ɛbɛyɛ nhyehyɛe a wɔbɛfa so abɔ ɔhyew afɔre ne ɔkwan a, sɛ wosi afɔremuka no wie a wɔbɛfa so de mogya apete ho:
19 So then thou shalt give unto the priests the Levites those who are of the seed of Zadok who approach unto me Declareth My Lord Yahweh. to wait upon me—a young bullock as a sin-bearer,
Ɛsɛ sɛ wode nantwi ba ma asɔfo a wɔyɛ Lewifo na wofi Sadok abusua mu na wɔba mʼanim bɛsom me no sɛ bɔne afɔrebɔde, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.
20 Then shalt thou take of the blood thereof and place upon the four horns thereof and on the four corners of the ledge, and on the boundary, round about, —and shalt cleanse it from sin and put a propitiatory-covering over it.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wofa nantwi ba no mogya no bi na wode keka afɔremuka mmɛn anan no ho. Wode bi bɛkeka apa a ɛwɔ soro no ntwɔtwɔw so ne anoano kaa a atwa ho ahyia no ho na wɔanam so atew afɔremuka no ho de ayɛ mpata nso.
21 Then shalt thou take the bullock bearing sin, - and shalt burn it in the appointed place of the house, outside the sanctuary,
Ɛsɛ sɛ wofa bɔne afɔrebɔde nantwi no na wokɔhyew no wɔ asɔredan no ho faako a wɔayi ato hɔ, wɔ kronkronbea no akyi.
22 And on the second day, shalt thou bring near a kid of the goats without defect as a sin-bearer, —and they shall cleanse the altar from sin just as they cleansed it from sin with the bullock,
“Da a ɛto so abien no, ɛsɛ sɛ wode ɔpapo a onni dɛm ma sɛ bɔne afɔrebɔde, na ɛsɛ sɛ wodwira afɔremuka no ho sɛnea wɔde nantwi no yɛe no.
23 When thou hast made an end of cleansing from sin, thou shalt bring near a young bullock without defect, and a ram out of the flock without defect;
Sɛ wowie ho dwira a, ɛsɛ sɛ wode nantwi ba ne adwennini a wofi buw no mu a wonni dɛm bɛbɔ afɔre.
24 and shalt bring them near before Yahweh, —and the priests shall cast over them salt, so shall they cause them to go up as an ascending-sacrifice to Yahweh.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wode wɔn ba Awurade anim, na asɔfo de nkyene pete wɔn so na wɔde bɔ ɔhyew afɔre ma Awurade.
25 Seven days, shalt thou offer a sin-bearing goat for each day, —and a young bullock and aram out of the flock without defect, shall they offer.
“Ɛsɛ sɛ wode ɔpapo ba sɛ bɔne afɔrebɔde nnanson; afei ɛsɛ sɛ wode nantwi ba ne adwennini a wofi buw mu na wonni dɛm nso ba.
26 Seven days, shall they put a propitiatory covering over the altar, and shall purify it, —and shall consecrate it.
Wɔbɛyɛ mpata ama afɔremuka no nnanson de atew ho; sɛɛ na wɔbɛyɛ de asi hɔ ama dwumadi no.
27 When the days shall be accomplished, then shall it be on the eighth day and forward, that the priests shall offer upon the altar your ascending-sacrifices and your peace offerings. And I will accept you Declareth, My Lord Yahweh.
Saa nna yi akyi, efi da a ɛto so awotwe de rekɔ no, ɛsɛ sɛ asɔfo no de mo hyew afɔrebɔde ne asomdwoe afɔrebɔde no ba afɔremuka no so. Afei megye mo ato mu, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.”
