< Ezekiel 46 >

1 Thus saith the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court that looketh towards the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened.
“‘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 And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of [that] gate without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priest shall prepare his burnt-offering and his peace-offerings, and he shall worship at the threshhold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the 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 Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the sabbaths and in the new moons.
Home nna ne ɔbosome foforɔ nna no, ɛsɛ sɛ asase no sofoɔ sɔre wɔ Awurade anim wɔ ɛpono no aboboano.
4 And the burnt-offering that the prince shall offer to the LORD in the sabbath day [shall be] six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish.
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 And the meat-offering [shall be] an ephah for a ram, and the meat-offering for the lambs as he shall be able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.
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 And in the day of the new moon [it shall be] a young bullock without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram: they shall be without blemish.
Ɔbosome Foforɔ ɛda no, ɔmfa nantwie ba a ɔyɛ ɔnini, nnwammaa nsia ne nnwennini a wɔn mu biara nnii dɛm mmra.
7 And he shall prepare a meat-offering, an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs according as his hand shall be able, and a hin of oil to an ephah.
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 And when the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of [that] gate, and he shall go forth by the way of it.
Na sɛ ɔhene no rebɛhyɛne mu a, ɔmfa ɛpono no ntwonoo no mu, na ɛsɛ sɛ ɛhɔ ara na ɔfa de firi adi.
9 But when the people of the land shall come before the LORD in the solemn feasts, he that entereth in by the way of the north gate to worship shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate by which he came in, but shall go forth over against it.
“‘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 And the prince in the midst of them, when they go in, shall go in; and when they go forth, shall go forth.
Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhene no fra wɔn mu; ɔne wɔn bɛba mu na ɔne wɔn afiri adi.
11 And in the feasts and in the solemnities the meat-offering shall be an ephah to a bullock, and an ephah to a ram, and to the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.
“‘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 Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary burnt-offering or peace-offerings voluntarily to the LORD, [one] shall then open to him the gate that looketh towards the east, and he shall prepare his burnt-offering and his peace-offerings, as he did on the sabbath-day: then he shall go forth; and after his going forth [one] shall shut the gate.
“‘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 Thou shalt daily prepare a burnt-offering to the LORD [of] a lamb of the first year without blemish: thou shalt prepare it every morning.
“‘Da biara da, anɔpa biara, ɛsɛ sɛ wode odwammaa a wadi afe na ɔnni dɛm bɛbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ma Awurade.
14 And thou shalt prepare a meat-offering for it every morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of a hin of oil, to temper with the fine flour; a meat-offering continually by a perpetual ordinance to the LORD.
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 Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meat-offering, and the oil, every morning [for] a continual burnt-offering.
Ɛno enti wɔde odwammaa ne atokoɔ afɔrebɔdeɛ ne ngo no bɛma anɔpa biara sɛ daa ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ.
16 Thus saith the Lord GOD; If the prince shall give a gift to any of his sons, the inheritance of it shall be to his sons; it [shall be] their possession by inheritance.
“‘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 But if he shall give a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants, then it shall be his to the year of liberty; afterward it shall return to the prince: but his inheritance shall be to his sons for them.
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 Moreover the prince shall not take of the people's inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their possession; [but] he shall give his sons' inheritance out of his own possession: that my people be not scattered every man from his possession.
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 Afterward he brought me through the entry, which [was] at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers of the priests, which looked towards the north: and behold, there [was] a place on the two sides westward.
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 Then said he to me, This [is] the place where the priests shall boil the trespass-offering and the sin-offering, where they shall bake the meat-offering; that they bear [them] not out into the outer court, to sanctify the people.
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 he brought me forth into the outer court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and behold, in every corner of the court [there was] a court.
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 In the four corners of the court [there were] courts joined of forty [cubits] long and thirty broad: these four corners [were] of one measure.
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 And [there was] a row [of building] around in them, around them four, and [it was] made with boiling places under the rows around.
Afasuo no mu biara anim no na wɔahyehyɛ aboɔ de aseɛ no ayɛ bukyia wɔ afaafa nyinaa.
24 Then said he to me, These [are] the places of them that boil, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Yeinom ne mukaase a wɔn a wɔsom wɔ asɔredan mu no bɛnoa nkurɔfoɔ no afɔrebɔdeɛ.”
