Ezekiel 46
1 “‘This is [also] what [I], Yahweh the Lord, declare: The east entryway of the inner courtyard must be shut during the six days in which people work each week, but on the Sabbath days and on the days when there is a new moon, that entryway must [remain] open until that evening.
“‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔto mfimfini adihɔ ɛpono a ani hwɛ apueeɛ no mu nnafua nsia a wɔde yɛ adwuma, nanso Homeda ne Ɔbosome Foforɔ ɛda no deɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔma ano da hɔ.
2 The king must enter the courtyard through the entry room of the entryway, and stand alongside the entry post. [Then] the priests must sacrifice the animal that the king brought to be completely [on the altar], and also his offering to maintain fellowship with me. The king must worship me at the entrance of the entryway, and then he must go out. [After he leaves], the entryway will not be shut until that evening.
Ɔhene no bɛfiri mfikyire awura ɛpono no ntwonoo mu na wabɛgyina aponnwa no ho. Asɔfoɔ no de ne hyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ ne asomdwoeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ bɛbɔ afɔdeɛ. Ɔbɛsɔre wɔ ɛpono no aboboano na wasane apue, nanso wɔrento ɛpono no mu kɔsi anwummerɛ.
3 On the Sabbath days and on the [days when there is a] new moon, the people must worship [me] at the entrance of the entryway.
Home nna ne ɔbosome foforɔ nna no, ɛsɛ sɛ asase no sofoɔ sɔre wɔ Awurade anim wɔ ɛpono no aboboano.
4 The offering that the king brings to be completely burned on the Sabbath day must be six lambs and one ram, all with no defects.
Afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhene no de brɛ Awurade wɔ Homeda no yɛ nnwammaa nsia ne odwennini baako a wɔn mu biara ho nni dɛm.
5 The offering [that he gives] with the ram must be a bushel of grain, and the grain [that he offers] with the lambs should be as much as he desires to offer, along with (1 gallon/3.8 liters) of [olive] oil for each bushel [of grain].
Aduane afɔrebɔdeɛ a wɔde ka odwennini no ho yɛ kilogram dunsia, na deɛ wɔde ka nnwammaa no ho yɛ deɛ ɛsɔ ani, na ɔde ngo lita ɛnan ka aduane kilogram dunsia biara ho.
6 [Then] each day that there is a new moon, he must offer a young bull, six lambs and a ram, all with no defects.
Ɔbosome Foforɔ ɛda no, ɔmfa nantwie ba a ɔyɛ ɔnini, nnwammaa nsia ne nnwennini a wɔn mu biara nnii dɛm mmra.
7 He must [also] provide one bushel of grain with the bull, one bushel of grain with the ram, and as much grain as he wants with the lambs, along with one quart/liter of [olive] oil with each bushel [of grain].
Ɔmfa atokoɔ kilogram dunsia nka nantwinini no ho ne nnwennini no nso saa ara, na nnwammaa no deɛ, ɔmfa atokoɔ dodoɔ a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔde ma. Ɔmfa ngo lita ɛnan nka atokoɔ kilogram dunsia biara ho mmra sɛ aduane afɔrebɔdeɛ.
8 When the king enters [the temple area], he must enter through the entry room of the entryway, and he must go out through that same entry room [when he leaves].
Na sɛ ɔhene no rebɛhyɛne mu a, ɔmfa ɛpono no ntwonoo no mu, na ɛsɛ sɛ ɛhɔ ara na ɔfa de firi adi.
9 When the Israeli people come to worship me at the festivals that I have appointed, those who enter the temple area through the north entryway must go out through the south entryway. And those who enter through the south entryway must go out through the north entryway. People must not go out through the entryway through which they entered; they must go out through the opposite entryway.
“‘Na sɛ asase no sofoɔ ba Awurade anim apontoɔ nna no a, deɛ ɔbɛfa atifi ɛpono no mu akɔ mu akɔsɔre no, ɔmfa anafoɔ ɛpono no mu mfiri adi; saa ara na deɛ ɔfa anafoɔ ɛpono mu kɔ mu no nso, ɔmfa atifi ɛpono no mu mfiri adi. Ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara sane fa ɛpono a ɔfaa mu hyɛnee mu no mu firi adi.
10 The king must go in when the other people go in, and go out when the people go out.
Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhene no fra wɔn mu; ɔne wɔn bɛba mu na ɔne wɔn afiri adi.
11 During the festivals and sacred feasts, the king must present a bushel of grain along with each bull or ram, and as much grain as he wants to bring, along with the lambs and (1 gallon/3.8 liters) of olive oil with each bushel of grain.
“‘Afahyɛ ne apontoɔ nna no, aduane afɔrebɔdeɛ no nyɛ nantwinini baako ne atokoɔ kilogram dunsia, nnwennini ne atokoɔ kilogram dunsia, na nnwammaa no deɛ atokoɔ dodoɔ ɛsɔ ani na ɔde bɛka ho, na ngo lita ɛnan ka atokoɔ kilogram dunsia biara ho.
12 When the king gives an offering that is not required, either one to be completely burned [on the altar] or an offering to maintain fellowship with [me, Yahweh, the entryway on the east side of the courtyard] must be opened for him. Then he must present those offerings like he does on the Sabbath days. Then he must go out, and after he goes out, the entryway must be shut.
“‘Ɛberɛ biara a ɔhene no bɛfiri ne pɛ mu abɔ afɔdeɛ ama Awurade no, sɛ ɛyɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ anaa asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbue ɛpono a ɛkyerɛ apueeɛ no ma no. Ɔbɛbɔ ne ɔhyeɛ anaa ne asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ no sɛdeɛ ɔyɛ no wɔ Homeda no. Afei ɔbɛfiri adi na ɛno akyi wɔbɛto ɛpono no mu.
13 Every day, during the morning, someone must provide a one-year-old lamb with no defects to be an offering to me that will be completely burned.
“‘Da biara da, anɔpa biara, ɛsɛ sɛ wode odwammaa a wadi afe na ɔnni dɛm bɛbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ma Awurade.
14 Someone must also provide each morning an offering of flour. It must be one sixth of a bushel of flour mixed with one quart/liter of [olive] oil. These offerings of flour and olive oil to must be presented [to me], Yahweh, each day.
Anɔpa biara ɛsɛ sɛ wobɔ aduane afɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ atokoɔ kilogram mmiɛnsa ne ngo lita baako ne fa a wɔde bɛfɔre esiam no. Aduane afɔdeɛ a wɔbɔ ma Awurade yi yɛ nhyehyɛeɛ a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa.
15 The lamb and the offering of flour and [olive] oil must be presented to me every morning, to be completely burned on the altar.
Ɛno enti wɔde odwammaa ne atokoɔ afɔrebɔdeɛ ne ngo no bɛma anɔpa biara sɛ daa ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ.
16 This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare: If the king gives some of his land to one of his sons, to belong to him permanently, it will then belong to his son’s descendants forever.
“‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Sɛ ɔhene no de nʼagyapadeɛ no mu bi kyɛ ne mmammarima no mu bi a, ɛbɛyɛ nʼasefoɔ dea na ɛyɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ.
17 However, if he gives some of his land to one of his servants, the servant is allowed to keep that land until the Year of Celebration. Then the king will own it again; the king’s land must belong to his descendants forever.
Nanso sɛ ɔde nʼagyapadeɛ no mu bi kyɛ nʼasomfoɔ no mu bi a, ɛbɛyɛ ɔsomfoɔ no dea kɔsi nʼahofadie afe. Ɛno akyi ɛbɛsane abɛyɛ ɔhene no dea. Nʼagyapadeɛ yɛ ne mmammarima nko ara dea.
18 The king must not take any land that the people own and force them to live somewhere else. The land that he gives to his sons must be from his own property, [not from anyone else’s property], in order that none of my people will be forced to leave his own property.’”
Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔhene no gye nnipa no agyapadeɛ biara, pam wɔn firi wɔn asase so. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔma ne mmammarima agyapadeɛ firi ɔno ankasa ahodeɛ mu, sɛdeɛ me nkurɔfoɔ mu biara remfiri nʼasase so.’”
19 Then, [in the vision], the man [who was showing the temple area to me] brought me through the entrance alongside the entryway and led me to the sacred rooms on the north side, the rooms that the priests used, and he showed me a place at the western end [of those rooms].
Afei, ɔbarima no de me faa ɛkwan a ɛda ɛpono no nkyɛnmu a ɛkɔ adan kronkron a ɛkyerɛ atifi fam no, deɛ ɛyɛ asɔfoɔ no dea no, na ɔkyerɛɛ me beaeɛ bi a ɛwɔ atɔeɛ fam.
20 He said to me, “This is the place where the priests must cook the meat of the offerings that people bring in order to no longer be guilty for having sinned, and offerings for their sins, and where they will bake bread made with the flour brought to be offerings. [They will cook those things in their rooms] in order to avoid bringing them into the outer courtyard [to cook them there], lest someone [be punished because of] touching them.”
Ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ: “Ɛha ne beaeɛ a asɔfoɔ no bɛnoa afɔdie afɔrebɔdeɛ ne bɔne afɔrebɔdeɛ na wɔato atokoɔ afɔrebɔdeɛ, sɛdeɛ wɔremfa mma mfikyire adihɔ hɔ mmɛdwira nkurɔfoɔ no ho.”
21 Then the man brought me to the outer courtyard and led me to its four corners. In each corner I saw an enclosed area;
Ɔde me baa adihɔ a ɛwɔ afikyire hɔ no na ɔdii mʼanim de me kɔɔ ne ntweaso ɛnan no so, na mehunuu adihɔ foforɔ wɔ ntwea biara so.
22 each of those areas was (70 feet/21.2 meters) long and (52-1/2 feet/15.9 meters) wide.
Mfikyire adihɔ no ntweaso ɛnan no mu biara wɔ adihɔ a ɛhyɛ mu a ne tentene yɛ anammɔn aduosia na ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn aduanan enum; na saa adihɔ yi nyinaa kɛseɛ yɛ pɛ.
23 Around the inside of each of those enclosed areas was a stone ledge, with places to make fires all around under each ledge.
Afasuo no mu biara anim no na wɔahyehyɛ aboɔ de aseɛ no ayɛ bukyia wɔ afaafa nyinaa.
24 The man said to me, “These are the kitchens where [the descendants of Levi] who work in the temple must cook the sacrifices that the people bring.”
Ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Yeinom ne mukaase a wɔn a wɔsom wɔ asɔredan mu no bɛnoa nkurɔfoɔ no afɔrebɔdeɛ.”
