Hezekiel 40
1 Le míaƒe aboyomenɔnɔ ƒe ƒe blaeve-vɔ-atɔ̃lia me, le ƒea ƒe gɔmedzedze, le ɣletia ƒe ŋkeke ewolia gbe, le du la ƒe gbagbã ƒe ƒe wuienelia megbe, le ŋkeke ma tututu dzi la, Yehowa ƒe asi nɔ dzinye, eye wòkplɔm yi afi mae.
In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, the tenth day of the month, the fourteenth year after the city was destroyed: in the selfsame day the hand of the Lord was upon me, and he brought me thither.
2 Le Mawu ƒe ŋutegawo me la, ekplɔm yi Israelnyigba dzi, eye wòdam ɖe to kɔkɔ aɖe ŋutɔ dzi. Xɔ aɖewo le to kɔkɔ sia ƒe dziehe lɔƒo, eye wòdze abe du gã aɖee ene.
In the visions of God he brought me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain: upon which there was as the building of a city, bending towards the south.
3 Ekplɔm yi afi ma, eye mekpɔ ame aɖe si ƒe dzedzeme ɖi akɔbli. Etsi tsitre ɖe agboa nu. Elé dzidzeka kple nudzidzeti ɖe asi.
And he brought me in thither, and behold a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed in his hand, and he stood in the gate.
4 Amea gblɔ nam be, “Ame vi, kpɔ nu kple wò ŋkuwo, nàse nu kple wò towo, eye nàlé fɔ ɖe nu sia nu si mafia wò la ŋu, elabena eya tae wokplɔ wò va afi sia ɖo. Gblɔ nu sia nu si nàkpɔ la na Israel ƒe aƒe la.”
And this man said to me: Son of man, see with thy eyes, and hear with thy ears, and set thy heart upon all that I shall shew thee: for thou art brought hither that they may be shewn to thee: declare all that thou seest, to the house of Israel.
5 Mekpɔ gli aɖe si ƒo xlã gbedoxɔ la ƒe teƒe kpe ɖo. Dzidzeti si le ŋutsu la si la didi mita etɔ̃. Edzidze gli la; gli la tri dzidzeti ɖeka, eye wòkeke dzidzeti ɖeka.
And behold there was a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed of six cubits and a handbreadth: and he measured the breadth of the building one reed, and the height one reed.
6 Tete wòyi agbo si dze ŋgɔ ɣedzeƒe la gbɔ. Elia eƒe atrakpuiwo, eye wòdzidze agbo la ƒe agbalinu wòkeke dzidzeti ɖeka.
And he came to the gate that looked toward the east, and he went up the steps thereof: and he measured the breadth of the threshold of the gate one reed, that is, one threshold was one reed broad:
7 Dzɔlawo ƒe nɔƒe didi dzidzeti ɖeka hekeke dzidzeti ɖeka. Gli siwo do ɖa ɖe nɔƒeawo dome la tri mita eve kple afã, eye teƒe si le agboa nu yi yaxɔƒe si dze ŋgɔ gbedoxɔa la keke dzidzeti ɖeka.
And every little chamber was one reed long, and one reed broad: and between the little chambers were five cubits:
8 Edzidze agbo la ƒe akpata wòkeke dzidzeti ɖeka,
And the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within, was one reed.
9 eye wòdidi mita ene. Yaxɔƒe si le agboa nu la dze ŋgɔ gbedoxɔ la.
And he measured the porch of the gate eight cubits, and the front thereof two cubits: and the porch of the gate was inward.
10 Xɔvi etɔ̃ le ɣedzeƒegbo la nu ƒe akpa ɖe sia ɖe; dzidzeme ɖeka li na wo ame etɔ̃awo, eye gli ɖe sia ɖe si do ɖe ŋgɔ la ƒe ŋkume nye didime ma ke.
And the little chambers of the gate that looked eastward were three on this side, and three on that side: all three were of one measure, and the fronts of one measure, on both parts.
11 Edzidze agbo la ƒe mɔnu wòkeke mita atɔ̃ eye wòdidi mita ade kple afã.
And he measured the breadth of the threshold of the gate ten cubits: and the length of the gate thirteen cubits:
12 Gli si kɔ mita afã la le xɔvi ɖe sia ɖe nu, eye xɔviawo ƒe didime kple kekeme siaa nye mita etɔ̃.
And the border before the little chambers one cubit: and one cubit was the border on both sides: and the little chambers were six cubits on this side and that side.
13 Emegbe la, edzidze agbo la ƒe mɔnu tso xɔvi ɖeka ƒe gli megbetɔ ŋu yi xɔvi si dze ŋgɔe la ƒe gli gbɔ va se ɖe evelia megbe, wòdidi mita wuieve kple afã tso mɔnu yi mɔnu si dze ŋgɔ nɔvia.
And he measured the gate from the roof of one little chamber to the roof of another, in breadth five and twenty cubits: door against door.
14 Edzidze gli siwo do ɖe ŋgɔ la ŋkume ƒo xlã agbo la nu wòde mita blaetɔ̃ va se ɖe agbo la ƒe akpata gbɔ le goawo katã me.
He made also fronts of sixty cubits: and to the front the court of the gate on every side round about.
15 Tso agboa nu yi akpata la ƒe seƒe la le mita blaeve vɔ atɔ̃.
And before the face of the gate which reached even to the face of the porch of the inner gate, fifty cubits.
16 Xɔviawo kple gli siwo do ɖe ŋgɔ le agbo la ƒe mɔnu la, mɔnu suesuewo ƒo xlã wo abe yaxɔƒe la ene, eye wo katã wotrɔ mo ɖo ɖe eme lɔƒo. Wota detiwo ɖe domegliawo ŋu.
And slanting windows in the little chambers, and in their fronts, which were within the gate on every side round about: and in like, manner there wore also in the porches windows round about within, and before the fronts the representation of palm trees.
17 Emegbe la, ekplɔm yi xɔxɔnu si le egodo afi si xɔviwo le. Woɖo kpe ɖe anyigba godoo kpe ɖo. Xɔviawo le blaetɔ̃, eye wotsɔ kpe ɖo atsyɔ̃ na wo nu.
And he brought me into the outward court, and behold there were chambers, and a pavement of stone in the court round about: thirty chambers encompassed the pavement.
18 Kpenyigba le agbo la ƒe axawo dzi ɖe agbo la ƒe didime nu. Esiae nye kpenyigba si le anyigbeme lɔƒo.
And the pavement in the front of the gates according to the length of the gates was lower.
19 Edzidze didime si le agbo etetɔ kple xɔxɔnu emetɔ dome. Edidi mita blaatɔ̃ le ɣedzeƒe kple anyiehe siaa.
And he measured the breadth from the face of the lower gate to the front of the inner court without, a hundred cubits to the east, and to the north.
20 Emegbe la, edzidze anyiehegbo la ƒe didime kple kekeme siaa yi ɖe xɔxɔnu egodotɔ gbɔ.
He measured also both the length and the breadth of the gate of the outward court, which looked northward.
21 Xɔvi etɔ̃ le axa ɖe sia ɖe dzi. Eƒe domegliwo kple akpata la ƒe didime kple woƒe kekeme sɔ kple agbo gbãtɔ tɔwo. Edidi mita blaeve vɔ atɔ̃, eye wòkeke mita wuieve kple afã.
And the little chambers thereof three on this side, and three on that side: and the front thereof, and the porch thereof according to the measure of the former gate, fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
22 Eƒe mɔnuwo, akpata la kple eƒe detitatawo ƒe dzidzemewo le abe ɣedzeƒegbo la tɔwo ene. Atrakpui adre le eŋu, eye eƒe akpata le atrakpuiawo xa.
And the windows thereof, and the porch, and the gravings according to the measure of the gate that looked to the east, and they went up to it by seven steps, and a porch was before it.
23 Agbo aɖe le xɔxɔnu egodotɔ ŋu dze ŋgɔ anyiehegbo la abe ale si ɖeka nɔ ɣedzeƒe ene. Edzidze nu tso agbo ɖeka nu yi esi le eƒe axadzi gbɔ, wòle mita blaatɔ̃.
And the gate of the inner court was over against the gate of the north, and that of the ease: and he measured from gate to gate a hundred cubits.
24 Tete wòkplɔm yi dziehe lɔƒo, eye mekpɔ agbo aɖe si dze ŋgɔ dziehe lɔƒo. Edzidze eƒe gliwo kple eƒe akpata wole abe bubuawo tɔwo ene.

And the windows thereof, and the porches round about, as the other windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
26 Atrakpui adre nɔ ete, eye eƒe akpata nɔ woƒe akpa eveawo. Wota detiwo ɖe domegliawo ŋu le akpa ɖe sia ɖe me.
And there were seven steps to go up to it: and a porch before the doors thereof: and there were graven palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side in the front thereof.
27 Agbo aɖe le xɔxɔnu emetɔ hã ŋu, eye wòdze ŋgɔ dziehe. Edzidze nu tso agbo sia nu yi agbo egodotɔ si nɔ dziehe lɔƒo wòde mita blaatɔ̃.
And there was a gate of the inner court towards the south: and he measured from gate to gate towards the south, a hundred cubits.

And he brought me into the inner court at the south gate: and he measured the gate according to the former measures.

And the porch thereof, that is, of the outward court: and the graven palm trees in the front thereof on this side and on that side: and the going up thereof was by eight steps.

The little chamber thereof, and the front thereof, and the porch thereof, and the windows thereof round about it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
37 Eƒe akpata dze ŋgɔ xɔxɔnu egodotɔ, detiwo ɖo atsyɔ̃ na sɔtiawo le akpa eveawo, eye atrakpui enyi le ete.
And the porch thereof looked to the outward court: and the graving of palm trees in the front thereof was on this side and on that side: and the going up to it was by eight steps.
38 Xɔ aɖe li si ƒe mɔnu le akpata la ŋu le agbo emetɔ ɖe sia ɖe ŋu, afi siae wokpalaa numevɔsawo le.
And at every chamber was a door in the forefronts of the gates: there they washed the holocaust.
39 Le akpata si le agbo la nu me la, kplɔ̃ eve le axa ɖe sia ɖe dzi. Kplɔ̃ siawo dzi wowua numevɔsalãwo, nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsalãwo kple fɔɖivɔsalãwo le.
And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side: that the holocaust, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering might be slain thereon.
40 Le akpata la ƒe gli egodotɔ, te ɖe agbo la nu kple atrakpuiawo ŋu le anyiehegbo la nu la, kplɔ̃ eve li, eye eve bubu hã gale atrakpuiawo ƒe akpa kemɛ.
And on the outward side, which goeth up to the entry of the gate that looketh toward the north, were two tables. and at the other side before the porch of the gate were two tables.
41 Ale kplɔ̃ ene le agbo la ƒe akpa ɖeka, eye kplɔ̃ ene bubu gale agbo la ƒe akpa kemɛ hã; wonye kplɔ̃ enyi siwo dzi wowua vɔsalãwo le.
Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side: at the sides of the gate were eight tables, upon which they slew the victims.
42 Kplɔ̃ ene bubu hã gali siwo wowɔ kple kpe fufuwo hena numevɔsawo; ɖe sia ɖe didi mita ɖeka, keke mita ɖeka, eye wòkɔ mita afã. Woawo dzie wodaa gagbawo ɖo hena numevɔsalãwo kple vɔsa bubuwo ƒe lãwo wuwu.
And the four tables for the holocausts were made of square stones: one cubit and a half long, and one cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high: to lay the vessels upon, in which the holocaust and the victim is slain.
43 Woklã nu siwo woatsɔ nuwo akui, eye nu eve li na ɖe sia ɖe la ɖe gliawo ŋu kpe ɖo. Ɖe sia ɖe didi abe asi ɖeka ene. Kplɔ̃awo li na vɔsawo ƒe lãwo.
And the borders of them were of one handbreadth, turned inwards round about: and upon the tables was the flesh of the offering.
44 Le agbo egodotɔ godo, le xɔxɔnu emetɔ me la, xɔ eve li, ɖeka le anyiehegbo la xa, eye wòdze ŋgɔ dziehe; evelia le agbo si le dziehe gome la xa, eye wòdze ŋgɔ anyiehe.
And without the inner gate were the chambers of the singing men in the inner court, which was on the side of the gate that looketh to the north: and their prospect was towards the south, one at the side of the east gate, which looketh toward the north.
45 Egblɔ nam be, “Xɔ si dze ŋgɔ dziehe gome lae nye nunɔla siwo kpɔa gbedoxɔ la dzi la tɔ,
And he said to me: This chamber, which looketh toward the south shall be for the priests that watch in the wards of the temple.
46 eye esi dze ŋgɔ anyiehe lae nye nunɔla siwo kpɔa vɔsamlekpui la dzi tɔ. Ame siawoe nye Zadok ƒe viwo, ame siawo koe nye Levitɔ siwo ate ɖe Yehowa ŋu be woasubɔ le eŋkume.”
But the chamber that looketh towards the north shall be for the priests that watch over the ministry of the altar. These are the sons of Sadoc, who among the sons of Levi, come near to the Lord, to minister to him.
47 Edzidze xɔxɔnu la; eƒe didime sɔ kple eƒe kekeme si nye mita blaatɔ̃. Vɔsamlekpui la le gbedoxɔ la ŋgɔ.
And he measured the court a hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits broad foursquare: and the altar that was before the face of the temple.
48 Ekplɔm va gbedoxɔ la ƒe akpata me, eye wòdzidze akpata la ƒe domegliwo; wokeke mita eve kple afã le akpa ɖe sia ɖe. Eƒe mɔnu keke mita adre, eye eƒe gliwo keke mita ɖeka kple afã le akpa ɖe sia ɖe.
And he brought me into the porch of the temple: and he measured the porch five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side.
49 Akpata la keke mita ewo, eye wòdidi mita ade tso ŋgɔ yi megbe. Atrakpuiwo le ete, eye sɔtiwo le domegliawo ƒe akpa ɖe sia ɖe.
And the length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits, and there were eight, steps to go up to it. And there were pillars in the fronts: one on this side, and another on that side.
