Hezekiel 41
1 Tete ŋutsu la kplɔm yi gbedoxɔ la godo, eye wòdzidze domegliawo; woƒe kekeme nye mita etɔ̃ le akpa ɖe sia ɖe.
He took me to the Temple and measured the posts as cubits wide on both sides.
2 Ʋɔtru la nu keke mita atɔ̃, eye gli siwo le eƒe akpawo la keke mita eve kple afã. Edzidze gbedoxɔ egodotɔ la hã. Edidi mita blaeve, eye wòkeke mita ewo.
The entrance was ten cubits wide, and the sides of the entrance were five cubits long on both sides. He measured the outer sanctuary as forty cubits long and twenty cubits wide.
3 Azɔ la, eyi gbedoxɔ emetɔ me, eye wòdzidze ʋɔtru la ƒe domegliwo: ɖe sia ɖe keke mita ɖeka. Mɔnu la keke mita etɔ̃, eye gli siwo le eƒe axawo dzi la keke mita etɔ̃ kple afã.
He went into the inner sanctuary and measured the entrance posts as two cubits wide. The entrance was six cubits wide, and the walls on both sides were seven cubits wide.
4 Edzidze gbedoxɔ emetɔ ƒe didime; esia nye mita ewo, eye eƒe kekeme nye mita ewo. Egblɔ nam be, “Esiae nye Kɔkɔeƒewo ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe.”
He measured the room beside the inner sanctuary as twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. He told me, “This is the Most Holy Place.”
5 Tete wòdzidze gbedoxɔ la ƒe gliwo; etri mita etɔ̃, eye axadzixɔ siwo ƒo xlã gbedoxɔ la, ɖe sia ɖe keke mita eve.
He measured Temple wall as six cubits thick, and each side room around the Temple was four cubits wide.
6 Axadzixɔawo le ɖoɖo etɔ̃ me, ɖoɖo ɖeka le nɔvia tame, eye xɔ blaetɔ̃ le ɖoɖo ɖe sia ɖe me. Wonɔ gbedoxɔ la ƒe gliwo ŋu be, woalé axadzixɔawo ɖe asi ale be léɖeasiwo mege ɖe gbedoxɔ la ƒe gliwo me o.
There were three levels of side rooms above one another, each having thirty rooms. The wall of the Temple had external supports for the side rooms, so that they would not be fixed into the wall of the Temple itself.
7 Axadzixɔawo le ɖoɖo gbãtɔ me mekeke abe evelia me tɔwo ene o, eye woawo hã mekeke abe ɖoɖo etɔ̃lia me tɔwo ene o. Atrakpuiwo tso ɖoɖo gbãtɔ yi ɖoɖo etɔ̃lia to ɖoɖo titinatɔ me.
The side rooms around the Temple became wider at each higher level, because as the structure around the Temple went up the Temple wall grew narrower A stairway provided access from the bottom story to the top, going through the middle level.
8 Mekpɔ be woƒu kpo ƒo xlã gbedoxɔ la wòzu gɔmeɖokpe na axadzixɔawo. Ekeke abe dzidzeti la ƒe didime ene: mita etɔ̃.
I saw that the Temple was on a raised platform that surrounded it. This was the foundation for the side rooms. Its height was the complete length of a measuring rod, six long cubits.
9 Axadzixɔawo ƒe gli egodotɔ tri mita eve kple afã. Teƒe si tsi anyi le axadzixɔawo
The thickness of the outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits, and there was open space between the side rooms of the Temple
10 kple nunɔlawo ƒe xɔwo dome la keke mita ewo ƒo xlã gbedoxɔ la.
and the outer chambers that measured twenty cubits wide all round the Temple.
11 Ʋɔtruwo le axadzixɔawo ŋu tso teƒe si le woawo kple nunɔlawo ƒe xɔwo dome, ɖeka le anyiehe gome, eye bubu hã le dziehe gome. Teƒe sia keke mita eve kple afã ƒo xlã va kpe ɖo.
The doors of the side rooms opened into this area, with one entrance to the north and another one to the south. The open space was five cubits wide on each side.
12 Xɔ si dze ŋgɔ gbedoxɔ la ƒe xɔxɔnu le ɣetoɖoƒe lɔƒo la keke mita blaetɔ̃ vɔ atɔ̃, eye wòtri mita eve kple afã. Gli la didi mita blaene-vɔ-atɔ̃.
Another building faced the Temple courtyard on the west side. It measured seventy cubits wide and ninety cubits long, with walls all the way round that were five cubits thick.
13 Azɔ la, edzidze gbedoxɔ la. Edidi mita blaatɔ̃, eye gbedoxɔ la ƒe xɔxɔnu kple xɔ la ƒe gliwo hã didi nenema ke.
He measured the Temple as one hundred cubits long. The Temple courtyard and the building including its walls were also one hundred cubits long.
14 Gbedoxɔ la ƒe xɔxɔnu le ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo kple gbedoxɔ la ŋgɔ keke mita blaatɔ̃.
The Temple courtyard on the east side, (including the front of the Temple), was one hundred cubits wide.
15 Le esia megbe la, edzidze xɔ si dze ŋgɔ xɔxɔnu si le gbedoxɔ la megbe la kple dziƒoxɔ siwo le gbedoxɔ la me le akpa ɖe sia ɖe, eye wode mita blaatɔ̃. Gbedoxɔ egodotɔ kple emetɔ kple akpata si dze ŋgɔ xɔxɔnu la,
He measured the length of the building that faced the Temple courtyard towards the rear of the Temple, including its open halls on each side. It was one hundred cubits long. The outer sanctuary, the inner sanctuary, and the porches facing the courtyard,
16 kple fesre sue kple xɔmedziƒoxɔ siwo ƒo xlã nu etɔ̃awo; wofa ʋuƒo ɖe wo kple anyigba kpakple gliawo ŋu va se ɖe fesreawo te.
as well as the thresholds and the narrow windows and the surrounding open halls with their three levels up to and including the threshold, were covered with wood on every side. This extended from the ground up to and including the windows.
17 Le teƒe si le gbedoxɔ emetɔ ƒe ʋɔtru tame kple gliawo ŋu le dometsotso mamlɛtɔ si ƒo xlã gbedoxɔ emetɔ kple egodotɔ ŋu la,
On the outside of all the walls by the entrance to the inner sanctuary, spaced at regular intervals around the inner and outer sanctuary,
18 kerubiwo kple deti siwo wokpa la li. Mo eve li na kerubi ɖe sia ɖe.
were carved designs of cherubim and palm trees. Every cherub had two faces:
19 Ame ƒe mo dze ŋgɔ deti la le akpa ɖeka, eye dzata ƒe mo dze ŋgɔ deti la le akpa kemɛ. Wokpa wo ɖe gliawo ŋu ƒo xlã gbedoxɔ blibo la.
a man's face looked in the direction of a palm tree on one side, and the face of a young lion looked in the direction of the palm tree on the other side. These carvings extended the whole way round the Temple.
20 Tso anyigba yi teƒe si le ʋɔtru la tame la, wokpa kerubiwo kple detiwo ɖe gbedoxɔ egodotɔ ƒe gliwo ŋu.
Designs of cherubim and palm trees were carved on the Temple wall from the floor up to the space above the doorway.
21 Ʋɔtruti si le dzogoe ene me la le gbedoxɔ egodotɔ ƒe mɔnu abe esi le Kɔkɔeƒe ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la ŋgɔ ene.
The Temple's doorframe was rectangular, as was the doorframe of the sanctuary.
22 Ativɔsamlekpui si kɔ mita ɖeka kple afã, eye eƒe axawo didi mita ɖeka la, wowɔ eƒe dzogoewo, ete kple eƒe axawo kple ati. Ame la gblɔ nam be, “Esiae nye kplɔ̃ si le Yehowa ŋkume.”
An altar made of wood stood there, three cubits high and two cubits by long. All of it—its corners, base, and sides—were made of wood. The man told me, “This is the table that stands before the Lord.”
23 Ʋɔtru gã evee nɔ gbedoxɔ egodotɔ kple Kɔkɔeƒe ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la nu.
The Temple and the sanctuary both had hinged double doors.
24 Ʋɔtru ɖe sia ɖe ʋuna ɖe akpa eve.
Each door had two panels that opened. There were two panels for one door, and two panels for the other door.
25 Wokpa kerubiwo kple detiwo abe esiwo wokpa ɖe gliawo ŋuti la ene ɖe gbedoxɔ egodotɔ ƒe ʋɔtruwo ŋu, eye wotsɔ ʋuƒo wɔ agbali ɖe akpata la ŋgɔ.
There were carvings of cherubim and palm trees on the Temple doors like those on the walls, and there was a wooden roof that covered the outside part of the porch at the front.
26 Fesre sue siwo ƒe akpa eveawo ŋu wokpa detiwo ɖo la, le akpata la ƒe axadzigliwo ŋu. Agbaliwo le gbedoxɔ la ƒe axadzixɔawo hã ŋu.
There were narrow windows and palm tree designs on the walls of the porch. The side rooms of the Temple also had roofs.
