1 Tete ŋutsu la kplɔm ɖo ta anyiehe gome yi xɔxɔnu egodotɔ me, eye míeyi xɔ siwo le gbedoxɔ la ƒe xɔxɔnu ƒe axadzi kple egodogli si le anyiehe gome la me.
And he led me forth into the outer court, on the way to the north side; and he brought me into the [row of] chambers that was opposite the main wing, and which was opposite the building toward the north;
2 Xɔ si ƒe ʋɔtru dze ŋgɔ anyiehe la didi mita blaatɔ̃, eye wòkeke mita blaeve vɔ atɔ̃.
On the front side the length [of which] was a hundred cubits, [up to] the north door, while the breadth was fifty cubits.
3 Le teƒe eve siwo didi mita ewo tso xɔxɔnu emetɔ gbɔ, eye le teƒe si le xɔxɔnu egodotɔ ƒe kpeɖoɖoawo kasa la, xɔmedziƒoxɔ dze ŋgɔ xɔmedziƒoxɔ le ɖoƒe etɔ̃awo.
Opposite the twenty cubits which were for the inner court, and opposite the pavement which was for the outer court, was corner-pillar before corner-pillar in the three stories.
4 Mɔ aɖe le xɔawo ŋgɔ, ekeke mita atɔ̃, eye wòdidi mita blaatɔ̃. Woƒe ʋɔtruwo ɖo ta anyiehe gome.
And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits in breadth toward the inner house, a way of one cubit [in width]; and their doors were toward the north.
5 Xɔtamexɔ etɔ̃liawo me mekeke abe etetɔwo me ene o, elabena sɔtiwo ƒe akpata xɔ teƒe le wo si.
Now the upper chambers were shorter [for the corner-pillar took away part of the space from them] than the lowest and than the middle chambers of the building.
6 Sɔtiwo mele xɔtamexɔ etɔ̃lia ƒe xɔwo ŋu abe xɔxɔnu la ene o, ale wo me le sue wu xɔ siwo le ɖoɖo etetɔwo me.
For they were in three stories, but had not pillars like the pillars of the courts: therefore was something taken off the lowest and the middle ones [as one ascended] from the ground.
7 Egodogli aɖe le xɔawo kple xɔxɔnu egodotɔ dome. Ekeke mita blaeve vɔ atɔ̃ le xɔawo ŋgɔ.
And the wall that was without alongside the chambers, toward the outer court in front of the chambers, was in its length fifty cubits.
8 Esime xɔ siwo le xɔxɔnu egodotɔ ƒe axadzi didi mita blaeve vɔ atɔ̃ la, esiwo te ɖe gbedoxɔ la ŋu la didi mita blaatɔ̃.
For the length of the chambers that were in the outer court was fifty cubits; and lo, [the whole space] in front of the temple was one hundred cubits.
9 Mɔnu le xɔ etetɔwo ŋu le ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo ne woage ɖe wo me to xɔxɔnu egodotɔ la dzi.
And beneath these chambers was the entrance from the east side, as one goeth into them from the outer court.
10 Xɔwo nɔ xɔxɔnu egodotɔ ƒe gli ƒe didime ŋu le dziehe gome; wote ɖe gbedoxɔ la ƒe xɔxɔnu ŋu le gli egodotɔ kasa,
On the breadth of the wall of the court in an eastern direction before the main wing, and before the building, were chambers.
11 eye mɔnu aɖe nɔ wo ŋgɔ. Esiawo nɔ abe xɔ siwo nɔ anyiehe ene. Woƒe didime sɔ kple woƒe kekeme, eye woƒe mɔnuwo kple dzidzemewo ɖi anyiehexɔwo tɔwo. Woƒe mɔnuwo
And the way before them was of like appearance as that for the chambers which were on the north side, of the same length and the same breadth; and all their means of egress, and their arrangement, and their doors were of the like manner.
12 ɖi xɔ siwo le dziehe gome tɔwo. Mɔnu ɖeka nɔ glia ƒe gɔmedzedze, si le ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo la kasa afi si woato age ɖe xɔawo me.
And so also were the doors of the chambers that were on the south side, a door being on the head of the way, of the way directly before the wall on the east side, as one entereth into them.
13 Tete wògblɔ nam be, “Xɔ siwo le anyiehe kple dziehe, eye wodze ŋgɔ gbedoxɔ la ƒe xɔxɔnu la nye nunɔlawo ƒe xɔwo, afi si nunɔla siwo tena ɖe Yehowa ŋu la aɖu vɔsanu kɔkɔeawo le. Afi mae woatsɔ vɔsanu kɔkɔewo, nuɖuvɔsanuwo, nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsanuwo kple fɔɖivɔsanuwo ada ɖo, elabena teƒe la le kɔkɔe.
And he said unto me, The north chambers and the south chambers which are in front of the main wing, —these are the holy chambers, where the priests that approach unto the Lord shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, namely, the meat-offering, and the sin-offering, and the trespass-offering; for the place is holy.
14 Ne nunɔlawo ge ɖe Kɔkɔeƒe la ko la, mele be woagayi xɔxɔnu egodotɔ o va se ɖe esime woagblẽ woƒe awu siwo wodo hewɔ subɔsubɔdɔ la ɖe megbe, elabena esiawo le kɔkɔe. Ele be woado awu bubuwo hafi ate ɖe teƒe siwo amewo nɔna la ŋu.”
When the priests enter therein, then shall they not go out of the sanctuary into the outer court; but there shall they lay down their garments wherein they may have ministered; for they are holy: and they shall put on other garments, and shall then approach to [the court] which is for the people.
15 Esi wòwɔ nu siwo nɔ gbedoxɔ la gbɔ vɔ la, ekplɔm do goe to ɣedzeƒegbo la me, eye wòdzidze teƒe si ƒo xlã afi ma.
Now when he had finished the measurings of the inner house, he led me forth by the way of the gate which looked in an eastern direction, and measured it all round about.
16 Etsɔ dzidzeti la dzidze eƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo wòdidi mita alafa eve blaatɔ̃.
He measured the east side with the measuring-rod, five hundred rods, with the measuring-rod round about.
17 Edzidze eƒe anyiehe lɔƒo wòdidi mita alafa eve kple blaatɔ̃ le dzidzeti la nu.
He measured the north aide, five hundred rods, with the measuring-rod round about.
18 Edzidze eƒe dziehe lɔƒo wòdidi mita alafa eve kple blaatɔ̃ le dzidzeti la nu.
The south side he measured, five hundred rods, with the measuring-rod.
19 Azɔ la, etrɔ do ɖe ɣetoɖoƒe lɔƒo, eye wòdzidzee wònɔ mita alafa eve kple blaatɔ̃ le dzidzeti la nu
He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred rods with the measuring-rod.
20 Ale wòdzidze akpa eneawo katã. Gli aɖe ƒo xlãe; gli la didi mita alafa eve kple blaatɔ̃, keke mita alafa eve kple blaatɔ̃, eye wòma kɔkɔeƒe la ɖa tso teƒe bubuawo gbɔ.
On the four sides did he measure it by the wall that was all round about, five hundred rods in length, and in breadth five hundred, to make a separation between the holy place and the profane.
