Ezekiel 42
1 [in the vision] the man led me out of the inner courtyard, through [the entrance on] the north side. We entered the outer courtyard and came to a building that was built against the north [of the inner courtyard].
Tete ŋutsu la kplɔm ɖo ta anyiehe gome yi xɔxɔnu egodotɔ me, eye míeyi xɔ siwo le gbedoxɔ la ƒe xɔxɔnu ƒe axadzi kple egodogli si le anyiehe gome la me.
2 That building was (175 feet/53 meters) long and (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) wide. Its doorway faced north.
Xɔ si ƒe ʋɔtru dze ŋgɔ anyiehe la didi mita blaatɔ̃, eye wòkeke mita blaeve vɔ atɔ̃.
3 In that building were two rows of rooms, built on three levels, that faced each other. One row of rooms was built against the wall of the inner courtyard, and the other row was built against the wall facing the outer courtyard. The building was 34 feet from the temple.
Le teƒe eve siwo didi mita ewo tso xɔxɔnu emetɔ gbɔ, eye le teƒe si le xɔxɔnu egodotɔ ƒe kpeɖoɖoawo kasa la, xɔmedziƒoxɔ dze ŋgɔ xɔmedziƒoxɔ le ɖoƒe etɔ̃awo.
4 Between the [two] rows of rooms there was a walkway that was (17-1/2 feet/5.3 meters) wide and (175 feet/53 meters) long. All its doors were on the north side.
Mɔ aɖe le xɔawo ŋgɔ, ekeke mita atɔ̃, eye wòdidi mita blaatɔ̃. Woƒe ʋɔtruwo ɖo ta anyiehe gome.
5 Each of the upper rows of rooms was narrower than the row of rooms below them, [because the upper rows needed to have a walkway in front of them].
Xɔtamexɔ etɔ̃liawo me mekeke abe etetɔwo me ene o, elabena sɔtiwo ƒe akpata xɔ teƒe le wo si.
6 The rooms on the upper levels had no pillars to support them like the ones in the courtyard. Instead, each of those row of rooms were supported by the walls of the row of rooms on the level below.
Sɔtiwo mele xɔtamexɔ etɔ̃lia ƒe xɔwo ŋu abe xɔxɔnu la ene o, ale wo me le sue wu xɔ siwo le ɖoɖo etetɔwo me.
7 The wall of the building extended (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) past the set of rooms built along the outer courtyard, separating all the rooms from the outer courtyard.
Egodogli aɖe le xɔawo kple xɔxɔnu egodotɔ dome. Ekeke mita blaeve vɔ atɔ̃ le xɔawo ŋgɔ.
8 The row of rooms that were along the outer courtyard was (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) long, and the set of rooms that faced the temple was (175 feet/53 meters) long.
Esime xɔ siwo le xɔxɔnu egodotɔ ƒe axadzi didi mita blaeve vɔ atɔ̃ la, esiwo te ɖe gbedoxɔ la ŋu la didi mita blaatɔ̃.
9 The lowest row of rooms had an entrance from the outer courtyard, on the east side.
Mɔnu le xɔ etetɔwo ŋu le ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo ne woage ɖe wo me to xɔxɔnu egodotɔ la dzi.
10 On the south [side], along the wall of the outer courtyard, next to the temple courtyard, was a [a building with two] rows of rooms,
Xɔwo nɔ xɔxɔnu egodotɔ ƒe gli ƒe didime ŋu le dziehe gome; wote ɖe gbedoxɔ la ƒe xɔxɔnu ŋu le gli egodotɔ kasa,
11 with a walkway between them. Those rooms were like the rooms on the north [side]: they were the same length and width, and had the same kind of entrances.
eye mɔnu aɖe nɔ wo ŋgɔ. Esiawo nɔ abe xɔ siwo nɔ anyiehe ene. Woƒe didime sɔ kple woƒe kekeme, eye woƒe mɔnuwo kple dzidzemewo ɖi anyiehexɔwo tɔwo. Woƒe mɔnuwo
12 The doorways on the south side were similar to the doorways on the north side. There was an entrance in the wall that faced the doors of the set of rooms, and there was an entrance on the east side, at the end of the inside walkway.
ɖi xɔ siwo le dziehe gome tɔwo. Mɔnu ɖeka nɔ glia ƒe gɔmedzedze, si le ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo la kasa afi si woato age ɖe xɔawo me.
13 Then the man said to me, “These rooms that overlook the temple on the north and south sides are holy. Here the priests who offer sacrifices to Yahweh will [their portions of] the sacred offerings. Because these rooms are holy, they will be used to store the sacred offerings: [the grain for] the grain offerings, the offerings for the sins that people have committed, and offerings in order that people will no longer be guilty for having sinned.
Tete wògblɔ nam be, “Xɔ siwo le anyiehe kple dziehe, eye wodze ŋgɔ gbedoxɔ la ƒe xɔxɔnu la nye nunɔlawo ƒe xɔwo, afi si nunɔla siwo tena ɖe Yehowa ŋu la aɖu vɔsanu kɔkɔeawo le. Afi mae woatsɔ vɔsanu kɔkɔewo, nuɖuvɔsanuwo, nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsanuwo kple fɔɖivɔsanuwo ada ɖo, elabena teƒe la le kɔkɔe.
14 When the priests leave the temple, they will not be allowed to [immediately] enter the outer courtyard. First, they must remove the clothes that they had been wearing inside the temple, because those clothes are holy. They must put on other clothes before they enter the parts [of the temple area] where the [other] people [gather].”
Ne nunɔlawo ge ɖe Kɔkɔeƒe la ko la, mele be woagayi xɔxɔnu egodotɔ o va se ɖe esime woagblẽ woƒe awu siwo wodo hewɔ subɔsubɔdɔ la ɖe megbe, elabena esiawo le kɔkɔe. Ele be woado awu bubuwo hafi ate ɖe teƒe siwo amewo nɔna la ŋu.”
15 When the man had finished measuring the inside of the temple area, he led me out through the east entrance [of the outer courtyard] and measured all the way around the temple area.
Esi wòwɔ nu siwo nɔ gbedoxɔ la gbɔ vɔ la, ekplɔm do goe to ɣedzeƒegbo la me, eye wòdzidze teƒe si ƒo xlã afi ma.
16 He measured the four sides of the area. There was a wall around the area that was (875 feet/265 meters) long on each side.
Etsɔ dzidzeti la dzidze eƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo wòdidi mita alafa eve blaatɔ̃.
Edzidze eƒe anyiehe lɔƒo wòdidi mita alafa eve kple blaatɔ̃ le dzidzeti la nu.
Edzidze eƒe dziehe lɔƒo wòdidi mita alafa eve kple blaatɔ̃ le dzidzeti la nu.
Azɔ la, etrɔ do ɖe ɣetoɖoƒe lɔƒo, eye wòdzidzee wònɔ mita alafa eve kple blaatɔ̃ le dzidzeti la nu
20 That wall separated the [area which was] sacred/holy from the [areas that were] not sacred.
Ale wòdzidze akpa eneawo katã. Gli aɖe ƒo xlãe; gli la didi mita alafa eve kple blaatɔ̃, keke mita alafa eve kple blaatɔ̃, eye wòma kɔkɔeƒe la ɖa tso teƒe bubuawo gbɔ.
