Ezekiel 40
1 In the twenty-fifth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was struck, in the same day, Yahweh’s hand was on me, and he brought me there.
Yɛn nnommumfa afe a ɛto so aduonu anum, afe no mfiase, ɔsram da a ɛto so du a ɛyɛ kuropɔn no asehwe afe a ɛto so dunan no, saa da no ara no Awurade nsa baa me so, na ɔde me kɔɔ hɔ.
2 In the visions of God he brought me into the land of Israel, and set me down on a very high mountain, on which was something like the frame of a city to the south.
Onyankopɔn anisoadehu mu no, ɔde me kɔɔ Israel asase so, na ɔde me kogyinaa bepɔw tenten bi so; nʼanafo fam no na adan bi wɔ hɔ a ɛsɛ kuropɔn bi.
3 He brought me there; and, behold, there was a man whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze, with a line of flax in his hand and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.
Ɔde me kɔɔ hɔ na mihuu ɔbarima bi a ne tebea te sɛ kɔbere mfrafrae; na ogyina ɔpon no ano, kura sirikyi hama ne susudua wɔ ne nsam.
4 The man said to me, “Son of man, see with your eyes, and hear with your ears, and set your heart on all that I will show you; for you have been brought here so that I may show them to you. Declare all that you see to the house of Israel.”
Ɔbarima yi ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Onipa ba, fa wʼani hwɛ na fa wʼaso tie na biribiara a mɛkyerɛ wo no, fa wʼadwene di akyi, efisɛ ɛno nti na wɔde wo aba ha. Ka biribiara a wubehu no kyerɛ Israelfi.”
5 Behold, there was a wall on the outside of the house all around, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed six cubits long, of a cubit and a hand width each. So he measured the thickness of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.
Mihuu ɔfasu a atwa asɔredan no afefare mu nyinaa ho ahyia. Susudua a ɛhyɛ ɔbarima no nsam no tenten yɛ anammɔn du ne fa. Osusuw ɔfasu no huu sɛ mu piw yɛ anammɔn du ne fa, na ne sorokɔ nso saa ara.
6 Then he came to the gate which looks toward the east, and went up its steps. He measured the threshold of the gate, one reed wide; and the other threshold, one reed wide.
Afei ɔkɔɔ abɔntenpon a ɛkyerɛ apuei fam no ano. Ɔforoo nʼatrapoe no na osusuw abobow ano no, na ne trɛw yɛ susudua no baako.
7 Every lodge was one reed long and one reed wide. Between the lodges was five cubits. The threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate toward the house was one reed.
Awɛmfo adan no mu biara tenten mu yɛ susudua baako na ne trɛw mu nso saa ara, afasu ntiantia a etwitwa awɛmfo adan no ntam mu piw yɛ anammɔn ason ne fa. Ntwironoo a anim kyerɛ asɔredan no abobow ano pon no trɛw yɛ susudua baako.
8 He measured also the porch of the gate toward the house, one reed.
Afei osusuw ɔpon no ntwironoo;
9 Then he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and its posts, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was toward the house.
na ne tenten mu yɛ anammɔn dumien, na nʼadum mu biara nso piw yɛ anammɔn abiɛsa. Ɔpon no ntwironoo anim hwɛ asɔredan no.
10 The side rooms of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side. The three of them were of one measure. The posts had one measure on this side and on that side.
Na awɛmfo adan abiɛsa wɔ apuei pon no benkum so ne nifa so; na ne nyinaa kɛse yɛ pɛ na afasu ntiantia a etwitwa ntam no nso mu piw yɛ pɛ.
11 He measured the width of the opening of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits;
Afei osusuw abɔntenpon no ano kwan, na ne trɛw yɛ anammɔn dunum na ne tenten mu nso yɛ anammɔn dunkron ne fa.
12 and a border before the lodges, one cubit on this side, and a border, one cubit on that side; and the side rooms, six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.
Awɛmfo adan no mu biara anim wɔ ɔfasu tiaa a ne sorokɔ yɛ ɔnammɔn ne fa, na awɛmfo adan no mu biara yɛ ahinanan a ɔfa biara susuw anammɔn du ne fa.
13 He measured the gate from the roof of the one side room to the roof of the other, a width of twenty-five cubits, door against door.
Afei osusuw ɔpon no fi awɛmfo adan no mu baako fasu a ɛwɔ akyi no atifi kosii ɔdan a ɛne no di nhwɛanim no akyi fasu no atifi; na ɔkwan a ɛda ntam yɛ anammɔn aduasa ason ne fa.
14 He also made posts, sixty cubits; and the court reached to the posts, around the gate.
Osusuw faa afasu ntiantia a etwitwa awɛmfo adan no ntam no nyinaa anim wɔ ɔpon kwan no mu, na ɛyɛɛ anammɔn aduɔkron. Nteɛmu no kosii ntwironoo a anim hwɛ adiwo hɔ no.
15 From the forefront of the gate at the entrance to the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were fifty cubits.
Ɔkwan a efi abɔntenpon abobow ano kosi ntwironoo no ti yɛ anammɔn aduɔson anum.
16 There were closed windows to the side rooms, and to their posts within the gate all around, and likewise to the arches. Windows were around inward. Palm trees were on each post.
Awɛmfo adan ne afasu ntiantia a etwitwa wɔn ntam wɔ abɔntenpon kwan no mu no, na bammɔ mfɛnsere nketenkete atwa ho ahyia, na saa ara na ntwironoo no mu te, na ne nyinaa buebue kɔ mu. Afasu ntiatia a etwitwa awɛmfo adan no ntam no, wɔaduadua mmɛ wɔ anim fɛfɛɛfɛ.
17 Then he brought me into the outer court. Behold, there were rooms and a pavement made for the court all around. Thirty rooms were on the pavement.
Afei ɔde me baa adiwo a ɛda akyi hɔ no. Ɛhɔ na mihuu adan bi ne nsɛwee bi a ɛwɔ adiwo no fasu ase nyinaa; na adan no yɛ aduasa wɔ nsɛwee no ho.
18 The pavement was by the side of the gates, corresponding to the length of the gates, even the lower pavement.
Na nsɛwee no pem apon no nkyɛn mu, na na ɛtrɛw sɛnea apon no tenten te; eyi ne ase nsɛwee no.
19 Then he measured the width from the forefront of the lower gate to the forefront of the inner court outside, one hundred cubits, both on the east and on the north.
Afei osusuw ɔkwan a efi ɔpon a ɛwɔ ase no anim kosii mfimfini adiwo no akyi; na ɛyɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonum wɔ apuei ne atifi fam.
20 He measured the length and width of the gate of the outer court which faces toward the north.
Afei osusuw ɔpon a ani hwɛ atifi fam na epue mfikyiri adiwo no tenten ne ne trɛw.
21 The lodges of it were three on this side and three on that side. Its posts and its arches were the same as the measure of the first gate: its length was fifty cubits, and the width twenty-five cubits.
Na awɛmfo adan a abiɛsa wɔ afaafa, afasu ntiaa a etwitwa wɔn ntam ne ntwironoo no afefare mu te sɛ ɔpon a edi kan no de. Ne tenten yɛ anammɔn aduɔson anum na ne trɛw yɛ anammɔn aduasa ason ne fa.
22 Its windows, its arches, and its palm trees were the same as the measure of the gate which faces toward the east. They went up to it by seven steps. Its arches were before them.
Na ne mfɛnsere nketenkete ne ntwironoo ne mmedua a ɔde asiesie hɔ no no nsusuwii nyinaa te sɛ ɔpon a ani hwɛ apuei fam de no. Atrapoe na wɔforo de kɔ mu, atrapoe no ne ntwironoo no di nhwɛanim.
23 There was a gate to the inner court facing the other gate, on the north and on the east. He measured one hundred cubits from gate to gate.
Na ɔpon bi wɔ hɔ a ɛkɔ mfimfini adiwo a ɛne atifi fam pon no di nhwɛanim, sɛnea na ɛte wɔ apuei fam no. Osusuw fii ɔpon baako ano kosii nea ɛne no di nhwɛanim no ano; na ɛyɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonum.
24 He led me toward the south; and behold, there was a gate toward the south. He measured its posts and its arches according to these measurements.
Afei odii mʼanim de me kɔɔ anafo fam, na mihuu ɔpon a ani hwɛ anafo fam no. Osusuw nʼadum ne ntwironoo na na nʼatenten te sɛ nkae no.
25 There were windows in it and in its arches all around, like the other windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the width twenty-five cubits.
Na mfɛnsere nketenkete wowɔ ɔpon no ne ntwironoo no ho nyinaa te sɛ mfɛnsere nketenkete a ɛwɔ nkae no ho no. Na ntwironoo no tenten yɛ anammɔn aduɔwɔtwe ason na ne trɛw yɛ anammɔn aduanan anan.
26 There were seven steps to go up to it, and its arches were before them. It had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, on its posts.
Na atrapoe nnidiso ason na wɔforo kɔ ɔpon no ano, na ntwironoo no ne no di nhwɛanim; na mmedua mfoni wɔ afasu ntiantia a etwitwa awɛmfo no adan no ntam no anim wɔ nʼafanu.
27 There was a gate to the inner court toward the south. He measured one hundred cubits from gate to gate toward the south.
Na mfimfini no adiwo nso wɔ ɔpon a ani hwɛ anafo fam, na osusuw ɔkwan a ɛda saa ɔpon yi ne abɔntenpon a ɛwɔ anafo fam no ntam; na ɛyɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonum.
28 Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate. He measured the south gate according to these measurements;
Afei ɔde me faa anafo fam pon no mu baa mfimfini adiwo hɔ. Osusuw anafo fam pon no; na ne tenten nyinaa te sɛ nea aka no.
29 with its lodges, its posts, and its arches, according to these measurements. There were windows in it and in its arches all around. It was fifty cubits long, and twenty-five cubits wide.
Nʼawɛmfo adan, afasu ntiatia a etwitwa adan no ntam ne ntwironoo no nsusuwii ne nea aka no yɛ pɛ. Na mfɛnsere nketenkete wowɔ ɔpon no ne ne ntwironoo no ho nyinaa. Na ne tenten yɛ anammɔn aduɔson anum na ne trɛw nso yɛ anammɔn aduasa ason ne fa.
30 There were arches all around, twenty-five cubits long and five cubits wide.
(Apon ntwironoo a atwa mfimfini adiwo no ho ahyia no mu biara tenten yɛ anammɔn aduasa ason ne fa na ne trɛw nso yɛ anammɔn ason ne fa.)
31 Its arches were toward the outer court. Palm trees were on its posts. The ascent to it had eight steps.
Ne ntwironoo hwɛ afikyiri adiwo hɔ; nʼafadum ho wɔ mmedua a mfoni afɛɛfɛ, na atrapoe nnidiso awotwe na wɔforo de kɔ hɔ.
32 He brought me into the inner court toward the east. He measured the gate according to these measurements;
Afei, ɔde me baa mfimfini adiwo hɔ wɔ apuei fam na osusuw ɔpon no; na ne tenten ne nea aka no yɛ pɛ.
33 with its lodges, its posts, and its arches, according to these measurements. There were windows in it and in its arches all around. It was fifty cubits long, and twenty-five cubits wide.
Nʼawɛmfo adan, afasu ntiatia a etwitwa adan no ntam ne ntwironoo no tenten ne nea aka no yɛ pɛ. Na hɔ apon no ne ne ntwironoo nyinaa wowɔ mfɛnsere nketenkete. Na ne tenten yɛ anammɔn aduɔson anum na ne trɛw nso yɛ anammɔn aduasa ason ne fa.
34 Its arches were toward the outer court. Palm trees were on its posts on this side and on that side. The ascent to it had eight steps.
Ne ntwironoo hwɛ mfimfini adiwo hɔ; nʼafadum ho wɔ mmedua mfoni afɛɛfɛ, na atrapoe nnidiso awotwe na wɔforo de kɔ hɔ.
35 He brought me to the north gate, and he measured it according to these measurements—
Afei ɔde me baa atifi fam pon no ano na osusuwii. Na ne tenten ne nea aka no yɛ pɛ,
36 its lodges, its posts, and its arches. There were windows in it all around. The length was fifty cubits and the width twenty-five cubits.
saa ara na nʼawɛmfo adan, afasu ntiantia a etwitwa adan no ntam ne ne ntwironoo te sɛ nkae no, na mfɛnsere nketenkete wɔ ho nyinaa. Na ne tenten yɛ anammɔn aduɔson anum na ne trɛw nso yɛ anammɔn aduasa ason ne fa.
37 Its posts were toward the outer court. Palm trees were on its posts on this side and on that side. The ascent to it had eight steps.
Ne ntwironoo no ani kyerɛ mfikyiri adiwo hɔ, nʼafadum no afaanu nyinaa ho wɔ mmedua a mfoni afɛɛfɛ, na atrapoe nnidiso awotwe na wɔforo de kɔ hɔ.
38 A room with its door was by the posts at the gates. They washed the burnt offering there.
Ɔdan bi a ɔpon da ano bɛn ntwironoo a ɛwowɔ apon a ɛwɔ mfimfini no mu biara ho, hɔ na wɔhohoro ɔhyew afɔrebɔde ho.
39 In the porch of the gate were two tables on this side and two tables on that side, on which to kill the burnt offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering.
Apon abien sisi abɔntenpon ntwironoo no mu, na so na wokunkum ɔhyew afɔre, bɔne afɔre ne afɔdi afɔre mmoa.
40 On the one side outside, as one goes up to the entry of the gate toward the north, were two tables; and on the other side, which belonged to the porch of the gate, were two tables.
Apon abien sisi ntwironoo no akyi, atrapoe no nkyɛn mu fa ne fa a ɛrekɔ atifi fam pon no ano hɔ.
41 Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate: eight tables, on which they killed the sacrifices.
Ɛno nti na apon anan sisi ɔpon no afa abien no fa biara; ne nyinaa yɛ apon awotwe a so na wokum afɔrebɔ mmoa.
42 There were four cut stone tables for the burnt offering, a cubit and a half long, a cubit and a half wide, and one cubit high. They laid the instruments with which they killed the burnt offering and the sacrifice on them.
Na abo a wɔatwa no apon anan nso wɔ hɔ ma ɔhyew afɔrebɔde. Emu biara tenten yɛ anammɔn abien ne nkyɛmu anan mu baako, na ne trɛw nso yɛ saa ara, ne sorokɔ yɛ ɔnammɔn baako ne fa. Saa apon yi so na wɔde afoa ne nkuku a wɔde yɛ ɔhyew afɔrebɔde ne afɔrebɔde a aka no ho nneɛma gu.
43 The hooks, a hand width long, were fastened within all around. The meat of the offering was on the tables.
Na kɔtɔkoro nta adinam a emu biara tenten yɛ nsateaakwaa abiɛsa sensɛn afasu no nyinaa ho. Apon no so na wɔde afɔrebɔ nam gu.
44 Outside of the inner gate were rooms for the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate. They faced toward the south. One at the side of the east gate faced toward the north.
Mfimfini pon no akyi wɔ mfimfini adiwo no, na adan abien wɔ; baako bɛn atifi fam pon a ani hwɛ anafo fam, na baako nso bɛn anafo fam pon a ani kyerɛ atifi fam.
45 He said to me, “This room, which faces toward the south, is for the priests who perform the duty of the house.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Ɔdan a ɛwɔ anafo fam no yɛ asɔfo a wɔhwɛ asɔredan no so no dea,
46 The room which faces toward the north is for the priests who perform the duty of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, who from among the sons of Levi come near to Yahweh to minister to him.”
Na ɔdan a ani kyerɛ atifi fam no yɛ asɔfo a wɔhwɛ afɔremuka no so no dea. Eyinom yɛ Sadok mmabarima a wɔn nko ara ne Lewifo a wotumi bɛn Awurade na wɔsom wɔ nʼanim.”
47 He measured the court, one hundred cubits long and one hundred cubits wide, square. The altar was before the house.
Afei wosusuw adiwo no. Na ɛyɛ ahinanan a ɔfa biara tenten yɛ anammɔn ɔha aduonum. Na afɔremuka no si asɔredan no anim.
48 Then he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side. The width of the gate was three cubits on this side and three cubits on that side.
Afei ɔde me baa asɔredan no ntwironoo mu, na osusuw ntwironoo no afadum, na ɔfa biara trɛw yɛ anammɔn ason ne fa. Na abobow ano no trɛw yɛ anammɔn aduonu baako ne fa. Na afasu ntiaa a epuepue ho no trɛw yɛ anammɔn anan ne fa wɔ ɔfa biara.
49 The length of the porch was twenty cubits and the width eleven cubits, even by the steps by which they went up to it. There were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
Ntwironoo no trɛw yɛ anammɔn aduasa, na efi anim kosi akyi no yɛ anammɔn dunwɔtwe. Atrapoe ntoatoaso bi na wɔforo de kɔ hɔ. Na afadum sisi ntwironoo no fa biara.
