Ezekiel 43

1 Afterward he brought me to the gate, [even] the gate that looketh towards the east:

Na ɔbarima no de me baa apuei fam pon no ano,

2 And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice [was] like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined 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] according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, [even] according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions [were] like the vision that I saw by the river Kebar; and 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 the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect [is] towards the east.

Awurade anuonyam faa ɔpon a ani kyerɛ apuei fam no mu hyɛn asɔredan no mu.

5 So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.

Na honhom no pagyaw me de me baa mfimfini adiwo hɔ na Awurade anuonyam hyɛɛ asɔredan no ma.

6 And I heard [him] speaking to me out of the house; and the man stood by me.

Bere a ɔbarima no gyina me ho no, metee sɛ obi rekasa fi asɔredan no mu kyerɛ me.

7 And he said to me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, [neither] they, nor their kings, by their lewd deeds, nor by the carcasses 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 In their setting of their threshhold by my threshholds, and their post by my posts, and the wall between me and them, they have even defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in my 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 put away their lewd deeds, and the carcasses of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.

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, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and 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 if they shall be ashamed of all that they have done, show them the form of the house, and the fashion of it, and its goings out, and its comings in, and all its forms, and all its ordinances, and all its forms, and all its laws: and write [it] in their sight, that they may keep the whole form of it, and all its ordinances, 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 [is] the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain, the whole limit of it around [shall be] most holy. Behold, this [is] 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 [are] the measures of the altar after the cubits: The cubit [is] a cubit and a hand-breadth; even the bottom [shall be] a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border of it by its edge around [shall be] a span: and this [shall be] the higher place 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 bottom [upon] the ground [even] to the lower settle [shall be] two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser settle [even] to the greater settle [shall be] four cubits, and the breadth [one] 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 So the altar [shall be] four cubits; and from the altar and upward [shall be] four horns.

Afɔremuka no wusiw tokuru no sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn asia a mmɛn anan a ano hwɛ soro tuatua ho.

16 And the altar [shall be] twelve [cubits] long, twelve broad, square in the four squares of it.

Afɔremuka wusiw tokuru no yɛ ahinanan, na ɔfa biara yɛ anammɔn dunwɔtwe.

17 And the settle [shall be] fourteen [cubits] long and fourteen broad in its four squares; and the border about it [shall be] half a cubit; and the bottom of it [shall be] a cubit about; and its stairs shall look towards 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 And he said to me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; These [are] the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt-offerings upon it, and to sprinkle blood upon it.

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 And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that are of the seed of Zadok, who approach to me, to minister to me, saith the Lord GOD, a young bullock for a sin-offering.

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 And thou shalt take of his blood, and put [it] on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the border around: thus shalt thou cleanse and purge 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 Thou shalt take the bullock also of the sin-offering, and he shall burn it in the appointed place of the house, without 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 thou shalt offer a kid of the goats without blemish for a sin-offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed [it] 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 [it], thou shalt offer a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.

Sɛ wowie ho dwira a, ɛsɛ sɛ wode nantwi ba ne adwennini a wofi buw no mu a wonni dɛm bɛbɔ afɔre.

24 And thou shalt offer them before the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them [for] a burnt-offering to the LORD.

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 prepare every day a goat [for] a sin-offering: they shall also prepare a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish.

“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 purge the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate themselves.

Wɔbɛyɛ mpata ama afɔremuka no nnanson de atew ho; sɛɛ na wɔbɛyɛ de asi hɔ ama dwumadi no.

27 And when these days have expired, it shall be, [that] upon the eighth day, and [so] forward, the priests shall make your burnt-offerings upon the altar, and your peace-offerings: and I will accept you, saith the Lord GOD.

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.”
