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 the city was smitten, in the same day the hand of the LORD was 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 he brought me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which [was] as 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 to me, Son of man, behold with thy eyes, and hear with thy ears, and set thy heart upon all that I shall show thee; for, to the intent that I might show [them] to thee [art] thou brought hither: 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 around, and in the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits [long] by the cubit and a hand-breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed: and the hight, 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 he came to the gate which looketh towards the east, and ascended its stairs, and measured the threshhold of the gate, [which was] one reed broad; and the other threshhold [of the gate], [which 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; and the threshhold of the gate by the porch of the gate within [was] one reed.
8 Edzidze agbo la ƒe akpata wòkeke dzidzeti ɖeka,
He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed.
9 eye wòdidi mita ene. Yaxɔƒe si le agboa nu la dze ŋgɔ gbedoxɔ la.
Then he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and its 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 little chambers 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.
The space also before the little chambers [was] one cubit [on this side], and the space [was] one cubit on that side: and the little chambers [were] 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.
He measured then the gate from the roof of [one] little chamber to the roof of another: the breadth [was] 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 sixty cubits; even to the post of the court around the gate.
15 Tso agboa nu yi akpata la ƒe seƒe la le mita blaeve vɔ atɔ̃.
And from the face of the gate of the entrance to the face of the porch of the inner 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 little chambers, and to their posts within the gate around, and likewise to the arches: and windows [were] around 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 he brought me into the outward court, and lo, [there were] chambers, and a pavement made for the court around: 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 over against the length of the gates [was] 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 front of the lower gate to the front of the inner court without, a 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 outward court that looked towards the north, he measured 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 the little chambers of it [were] three on this side and three on that side; and its posts and its arches were after the measure of the first gate; its length [was] fifty cubits, 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 their windows, and their arches, and their palm-trees, [were] after the measure of the gate that looketh towards the east; and they went up to it by seven steps; and its arches [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 gate of the inner court [was] over against the gate towards the north, and towards the east; 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.
After that he brought me towards the south, and behold a gate towards the south: and he measured its posts and its arches 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 its arches around, 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 its arches [were] before them: and it had palm-trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon its 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 towards the south: and he measured from gate to gate towards the south a 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 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 its little chambers, and its posts, and its arches, according to these measures; and [there were] windows in it and in its arches around: [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 the arches around [were] 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 arches [were] towards the outer court; and palm-trees [were] upon its posts: and the ascent 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 towards 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 its little chambers, and its posts, and its arches, [were] according to these measures; and [there were] windows in it and in its arches around: [it was] fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
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 arches [were] towards the outward court; and palm-trees were upon its posts, on this side, and on that side: and the ascent 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 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.
Its little chambers, its posts, and its arches, and the windows to it around: the length [was] fifty cubits, and the 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 posts [were] towards the outer court; and palm-trees [were] upon its posts, on this side, and on that side: and the ascent 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 the chambers and its entries [were] by the posts of the gates, where they washed the burnt-offering.
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 upon it the burnt-offering and the sin-offering and the trespass-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 at the side without, as one goeth up to the entry of the north gate, [were] two tables; and on the other side, which [was] at 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, upon which they slew [their 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 the four tables [were] of hewn stone for the burnt-offering, of a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high: upon which also they laid the instruments with which they slew the burnt-offering and the sacrifice.
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 within [were] hooks, a hand broad, fastened around: 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 singers in the inner court, which [was] at the side of the north gate; and their prospect [was] towards the south: one at the side of the east gate [having] the prospect towards 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, whose prospect [is] towards 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] towards the north [is] for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these [are] the sons of Zadok among the sons of Levi, who 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.
So he measured the court, a hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar [that 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.
And 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 [he brought me] by the steps by which they went up to it: and [there were] pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
