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 exile, in the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city had been smitten, on the selfsame day came the inspiration of the Lord upon me, and 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 unto the land of Israel, and set me down upon a very high mount, on which there was built something like 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 when he had brought me thither, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of copper, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring-rod: and he was standing 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 spoke unto me, Son of man, behold with thy eyes, and hear with thy ears, and direct thy heart unto all that I am about to show thee; for in order to show it unto thee art thou brought hither: tell 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 all round about, and in the man's hand was a measuring-rod of six cubits long by the cubit which was a hand's breadth longer than usual; and he measured the breadth of the building, one rod, and the height, one rod.

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 looked in the direction toward the east, and went up its steps, and measured the threshold of the gate, one rod in breadth, and the other threshold one rod in breadth.

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 rod long, and one rod broad; and between the cells were five cubits: and the threshold of the gate near by the porch of the gate within was one rod.

8 Edzidze agbo la ƒe akpata wòkeke dzidzeti ɖeka,

He measured also the porch of the gate within, one rod.

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 its door-posts, 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 in the eastern direction were three on this side, and three on that side, one measure was for all the three; and there was one measure for the door-posts 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 entrance 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 there was a space before the cells of one cubit on this side, and one cubit space was there on that side: and every cell was of six cubits on this side, and of 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 [one] cell to the roof of [another], in breadth five and twenty cubits, one door being against [the other] 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.

And he made door-posts of sixty cubits, and around the door-posts the court and the gate all round about.

15 Tso agboa nu yi akpata la ƒe seƒe la le mita blaeve vɔ atɔ̃.

And the height of the gate of the entrance as also the height of the porch of the inner gate was 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 in the cells, and by their door-posts within the gate all round about, and likewise in the porches: and windows were all round about inward; and on each door post were palm-shaped [capitals].

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 outward court, and, lo, there were chambers, and a pavement made for the court all 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 by the side of the gates was all along the whole length of the gates: this was the lower pavement.

19 Edzidze didime si le agbo etetɔ kple xɔxɔnu emetɔ dome. Edidi mita blaatɔ̃ le ɣedzeƒe kple anyiehe siaa.

Then measured he the breadth from the front of the lower gate unto the front of the inner court, without, one hundred cubits, eastward and 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 in a northern direction, he measured after its length, and its breadth.

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 its cells were three on this side and three on that side; and its door-posts and its porches were after the measure of the first gate: fifty cubits was its length, and its 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 its windows, and its porches, and their palm-shaped capitals, were after the measure of the gate that looked in an eastern direction: and by seven steps did they go up unto it, and to its porches which 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 the gates of the inner court were opposite the gates on the north, and on the east: and he measured from gate to gate one 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.

After that he led me forth to the south side, and behold there was a gate on the south side: and he measured its door-posts and its porches after 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 its porches all round about, like the other windows: it was fifty cubits in length, and in 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 by seven steps was the ascent to it, and to its porches which were before them; and it had palm-shaped capitals, one on this side, and another on that side, upon its door-posts.

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 in the inner court on the south side: and he measured from gate to gate on the south side one hundred cubits.

28 Emegbe la, ekplɔm yi xɔxɔnu emetɔ to dziehegbo la nu; edzidze dziehegbo la, eye wònɔ abe bubuawo ene.

And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate; and he measured the south gate after 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 its cells, and its door-posts, and its porches were after these measures; and there were windows in it and in its porches all round about: it was fifty cubits in length, and in breadth five and twenty cubits.

30 Akpata siwo ƒo xlã xɔxɔnu emetɔ la keke mita wuieve kple afã, eye wode eme mita eve kple afã.

And arched passages were all 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 its porches were toward the outer court; and palm-shaped capitals were upon its door-posts: and its ascent was by 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 on the east side; and he measured the gate after 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 its cells and its door-posts, and its porches, were according to these measures; and there were windows in it and in its porches all round about: its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth five and twenty cubits.

34 Eƒe akpata dze ŋgɔ xɔxɔnu egodotɔ, detiwo ɖo atsyɔ̃ na eƒe sɔtiwo le eƒe axa eveawo dzi, eye atrakpui enyi nɔ ete.

And its porches were toward the outward court; and palm-shaped capitals were upon its door-posts, on this side, and on that side: and by eight steps was the ascent to it.

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 after 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.

Its cells, its door-posts, and its porches; and the windows in it were all round about: its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth five and twenty cubits.

37 Eƒe akpata dze ŋgɔ xɔxɔnu egodotɔ, detiwo ɖo atsyɔ̃ na sɔtiawo le akpa eveawo, eye atrakpui enyi le ete.

And its door-posts were toward the outer court; and palm-shaped capitals were upon its door-posts, on this side, and on that side: and by eight steps was the ascent to it.

38 Xɔ aɖe li si ƒe mɔnu le akpata la ŋu le agbo emetɔ ɖe sia ɖe ŋu, afi siae wokpalaa numevɔsawo le.

And there was a chamber with its door by the door-posts of the gates, where they washed off the burnt-offerings.

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 slaughter thereon the burnt-offerings and the sin-offerings and the trespass-offerings.

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 at the side without [the porch], as one went up to the entrance of the north gate, 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 being on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate, eight tables, whereupon they slaughtered [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.

And there were four tables of hewn stone for the burnt-offerings, of a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high: whereupon they laid the instruments wherewith they slaughtered the burnt-offerings and the sacrifices.

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 hooks, a hand long, were fastened within all round about: and on the tables was placed the flesh of the offerings.

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 singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate; and their front was toward the south side: one was at the side of the east gate having the front toward the north side.

45 Egblɔ nam be, “Xɔ si dze ŋgɔ dziehe gome lae nye nunɔla siwo kpɔa gbedoxɔ la dzi la tɔ,

And he spoke unto me, This chamber, the front of which is toward the south, is for the priests who have 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, the front of which is toward the north, is for the priests who have the charge of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok, who come near, from among the sons of Levi, 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.

So he measured the court, in length one hundred cubits, and in breadth one hundred cubits, foursquare: and the altar [stood] 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.

And he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each door-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, together with the steps whereby they went up to it: and there were pillars by the door-posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
