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, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, 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 brought He me into the land of Israel, and set me down upon a very high mountain, whereon was as it were the frame of a city on 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 thither, and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; 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 the man said unto me: 'Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thy heart upon all that I shall show thee, for to the intent that I might show them unto thee art thou brought thither; 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 a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits long, of a cubit and a hand-breadth each; so 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.
Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east, and went up the steps thereof; and he measured the jamb of the gate, one reed broad, and the other jamb, 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 cell was one reed long, and one reed broad; and the space between the cells was five cubits; and the jambs of the gate by the porch of the gate within were one reed.
8 Edzidze agbo la ƒe akpata wòkeke dzidzeti ɖeka,
He measured also the porch of the gate toward the house, one reed.
9 eye wòdidi mita ene. Yaxɔƒe si le agboa nu la dze ŋgɔ gbedoxɔ la.
Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts 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 cells of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure; and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side.
11 Edzidze agbo la ƒe mɔnu wòkeke mita atɔ̃ eye wòdidi mita ade kple afã.
And he measured the breadth of the entry 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 a border before the cells, one cubit on this side, and a border, one cubit on that side; and the cells, six cubits on this side, and six cubits on 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 the one cell to the roof of the other, a breadth of 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 posts of threescore cubits; even unto the posts of the court in the gates round about.
15 Tso agboa nu yi akpata la ƒe seƒe la le mita blaeve vɔ atɔ̃.
And from the forefront of the gate of the entrance unto the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were 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 there were narrow windows to the cells and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches; and windows were round about inward; and upon each post were 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.
Then brought he me into the outer court, and, lo, there were chambers and a pavement, made for the court round about; thirty chambers were upon 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 was by the side of the gates, corresponding unto the length of the gates, even the lower pavement.
19 Edzidze didime si le agbo etetɔ kple xɔxɔnu emetɔ dome. Edidi mita blaatɔ̃ le ɣedzeƒe kple anyiehe siaa.
Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate unto the forefront of the inner court without, a hundred cubits, eastward as also northward.
20 Emegbe la, edzidze anyiehegbo la ƒe didime kple kekeme siaa yi ɖe xɔxɔnu egodotɔ gbɔ.
And the gate of the outer court that looked toward the north, he measured the length thereof and the breadth thereof.
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 cells thereof were three on this side and three on that side; and the posts thereof and the arches thereof were after the measure of the first gate; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
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 arches thereof, and the palm-trees thereof, were after the measure of the gate that looketh toward the east; and it was ascended by seven steps; and the arches thereof were before them.
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 there was a gate to the inner court over against the other gate, northward as also eastward; 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 he led me toward the south, and behold a gate toward the south; and he measured the posts thereof, and the arches thereof according to these measures.
25 Fesrewo nɔ agbo la kple eƒe akpata ŋu abe bubuawo ƒe fesrewo ene. Edidi mita blaeve vɔ atɔ̃, eye wòkeke mita wuieve kple afã.
And there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about, like those 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 the arches thereof were before them; and it had palm-trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon the posts 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 to the inner court toward the south; and he measured from gate to gate toward the south a hundred cubits.
28 Emegbe la, ekplɔm yi xɔxɔnu emetɔ to dziehegbo la nu; edzidze dziehegbo la, eye wònɔ abe bubuawo ene.
Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate; and he measured the south gate according to these measures;
29 Eƒe xɔviwo, domegliwo kple eƒe akpata ƒe dzidzeme nɔ abe bubuawo tɔwo ene. Fesrewo nɔ agbo la nu kple eƒe akpata la ŋu godoo va kpe. Edidi mita blaeve vɔ atɔ̃, eye wòkeke mita wuieve kple afã.
and the cells thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, according to these measures; and there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about; it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
30 Akpata siwo ƒo xlã xɔxɔnu emetɔ la keke mita wuieve kple afã, eye wode eme mita eve kple afã.
And there were arches round about, five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad.
31 Eƒe akpata dze ŋgɔ xɔxɔnu egodotɔ; detiwo ɖo atsyɔ̃ na eƒe sɔtiwo, eye atrakpui enyi nɔ ete.
And the arches thereof were toward the outer court; and palm-trees were upon the posts thereof; and the going up to it had eight steps.
32 Tete wòkplɔm yi xɔxɔnu emetɔ si le ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo, eye wòdzidze agbo la; eƒe dzidzeme nɔ abe bubuawo tɔwo ene.
And he brought me into the inner court toward the east; and he measured the gate according to these measures;
33 Eƒe xɔviwo, domegliwo kple eƒe akpata ƒe dzidzemewo nɔ abe bubuawo tɔwo ene. Fesrewo nɔ agbo la kple eƒe akpata ŋu ƒo xlã kpe ɖo. Edidi mita blaeve vɔ atɔ̃, eye wòkeke mita wuieve kple afã.

And the arches thereof were toward the outer court; and palm-trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side; and the going up to it had eight steps.
35 Le esia megbe la, ekplɔm yi anyiehegbo la gbɔ, eye wòdzidzee. Eƒe dzidzemewo nɔ abe bubuawo tɔwo ene,
And he brought me to the north gate; and he measured it according to these measures;
36 abe eƒe xɔviwo, domegliwo kple eƒe akpata ene, eye fesrewo nɔ eŋu godoo va kpe. Edidi mita blaeve vɔ atɔ̃, eye wòkeke mita wuieve kple afã.

37 Eƒe akpata dze ŋgɔ xɔxɔnu egodotɔ, detiwo ɖo atsyɔ̃ na sɔtiawo le akpa eveawo, eye atrakpui enyi le ete.
And the posts thereof were toward the outer court; and palm-trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side; and the going up to it had 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 a chamber with the entry thereof was by the posts at the gates; there was the burnt-offering to be washed.
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, to slay thereon the burnt-offering and the sin-offering and the guilt-offering.
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 one side without, as one goeth up to the entry of the gate toward the north, were two tables; and on the other side of 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, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon to slay the sacrifices.
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.
Moreover there were four tables for the burnt-offering, of hewn stone, a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high, whereupon to lay the instruments wherewith the burnt-offering and the sacrifice are 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 slabs, a handbreadth long, were fastened within round about; and upon the tables was to be 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 chambers for the guard in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate, and their prospect was toward the south; one at the side of the east gate having the prospect 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 unto me: 'This chamber, whose prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house.
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.”
And the chamber whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar; these are the sons of Zadok, who from among the sons of Levi come near to the LORD to minister unto 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 was before the house.
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.
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; and the breadth of the gate was 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.
The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; and it was by steps that it was ascended; and there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
