< Hezekiel 42 >
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.
Then he took me forth unto the outer court, the way toward the north, —and brought me unto the chamber which was over against the secluded place and which was over against the enclosing-wall, towards the north.
2 Xɔ si ƒe ʋɔtru dze ŋgɔ anyiehe la didi mita blaatɔ̃, eye wòkeke mita blaeve vɔ atɔ̃.
Facing the length of the hundred cubits, was the entrance of the north, —and 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.
over against the twenty which pertained to the inner court, and over against the pavement which pertained to the outer court, was gallery facing gallery, by the thirties;
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 ten cubits in breadth inward, a way of one cubit, —and their entrances were to the north.
5 Xɔtamexɔ etɔ̃liawo me mekeke abe etetɔwo me ene o, elabena sɔtiwo ƒe akpata xɔ teƒe le wo si.
Now, the highest chambers, were shortened, —because the galleries took away therefrom more than from the lowest or from the middle in structure.
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 three stories, they were; and had not pillars like the pillars of the courts; for this cause, it differed from the lowest and from the middle, from the ground.
7 Egodogli aɖe le xɔawo kple xɔxɔnu egodotɔ dome. Ekeke mita blaeve vɔ atɔ̃ le xɔawo ŋgɔ.
And as for the wall that was without. answering to the chambers, toward the outer court facing the chambers, the length thereof was 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 which pertained to the outer court was fifty cubits, —and lo! in front of the temple a hundred cubits,
9 Mɔnu le xɔ etetɔwo ŋu le ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo ne woage ɖe wo me to xɔxɔnu egodotɔ la dzi.
And from under these chambers, was the entry from the east when one goeth in by 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,
In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east facing the secluded place and facing the enclosing wall, 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 like the appearance of the chambers which were toward the north, as was their length, so, was their breadth, —and all their exits were both according to their regulations, and according to their entrances.
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 according to the entrances of the chambers which were toward the south, was the entrance at the head of the way—the way in the face of the covered wall, the way toward the east in entering 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.
Then said he unto me, The chambers of the north the chambers of the south which face the secluded place, they are the holy chambers where the priests who draw near to Yahweh shall eat the most holy things; there, shall they lay the most holy things, and the meal offering and the sin-bearer and the guilt bearer, 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 them, then shall they not go forth out of the holy place into the outer court, but there, shall they lay their garments wherein they minister for holy they are, and shall put on other garments, and so draw near unto that which pertaineth to 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.
And when he had ended the measurings of the inner house, then he brought me forth by way of the gate which looked toward the east, — and measured it round about on every side.
16 Etsɔ dzidzeti la dzidze eƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo wòdidi mita alafa eve blaatɔ̃.
He measured the east side with the measuring reed, —five hundred reeds by the measuring reed round about,
17 Edzidze eƒe anyiehe lɔƒo wòdidi mita alafa eve kple blaatɔ̃ le dzidzeti la nu.
He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, by the measuring reed round about.
18 Edzidze eƒe dziehe lɔƒo wòdidi mita alafa eve kple blaatɔ̃ le dzidzeti la nu.
The south side, measured he, —five hundred reeds, by the measuring reed.
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, —he measured five hundred reeds, by the measuring reed.
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.
Toward the four winds, measured he it a wall, had it round about on every side, in length, five hundred, and in breadth five hundred, —to make a separation, between the holy and the common.
