1 Tete ame la kplɔm va agbo si dze ŋgɔ ɣedzeƒe la gbɔ,
Afterward he brought me to the gate, euen the gate that turneth towarde the East.
2 eye mekpɔ Israel ƒe Mawu la ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe wògbɔna tso ɣedzeƒe. Eƒe gbe ɖi tɔsisiwo ƒe hoowɔwɔ, eye eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe na anyigba la nɔ keklẽm.
And beholde, the glorie of the God of Israel came from out of the East, whose voyce was like a noyse of great waters, and the earth was made light with his glorie.
3 Ŋutega si mekpɔ la ɖi ŋutega si mekpɔ esi wòva be yeagbã du la kple ŋutega si mekpɔ le Kebar tɔsisi la to. Tete metsyɔ mo anyi.
And the vision which I saw was like the vision, euen as the vision that I sawe when I came to destroy the citie: and the visions were like the vision that I sawe by the riuer Chebar: and I fell vpon my face.
4 Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ge ɖe gbedoxɔ la me to agbo si dze ŋgɔ ɣedzeƒe la me.
And the glorie of the Lord came into the house by the way of the gate, whose prospect is towarde the East.
5 Tete Gbɔgbɔ la kɔm ɖe dzi heyi xɔxɔnu emetɔ, eye Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe yɔ gbedoxɔ la me.
So the Spirite tooke me vp and brought me into the inner court, and beholde, the glorie of the Lord filled the house.
6 Esime ŋutsu la tsi tsitre ɖe axanye la, mese ame aɖe wònɔ nu ƒom nam tso gbedoxɔ la me.
And I heard one speaking vnto me out of the house: and there stoode a man by me,
7 Egblɔ nam be, “Ame vi, afi siae nye nye fiazikpui ƒe nɔƒe kple teƒe na nye afɔƒome. Teƒe siae nye afi si manɔ le Israelviwo dome tegbetegbe. Israel ƒe aƒe la magado gu nye ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la kple woƒe fiawo to woƒe gbolowɔwɔ kple legba siwo me agbe mele o le woƒe nuxeƒewo o.
Which saide vnto me, Sonne of man, this place is my throne, and the place of the soles of my feete, whereas I will dwell among the children of Israel for euer, and the house of Israel shall no more defile mine holy Name, neither they, nor their Kings by their fornication, nor by the carkeises of their Kings in their high places.
8 Ne wotsɔ woƒe kpuiwo ɖo nye kpui nu, woƒe ʋɔtrutiwo ɖo nye ʋɔtrutiwo nu, eye gli koe tso nye kpli wo dome la, wodo gu nye ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la to woƒe ŋukpenanuwo wɔwɔ me. Ale metsrɔ̃ wo le nye dɔmedzoe me.
Albeit they set their thresholdes by my thresholdes, and their postes by my postes (for there was but a wall betweene me and them) yet haue they defiled mine holy Name with their abominations, that they haue committed: wherfore I haue consumed them in my wrath.
9 Azɔ la, na woaɖe woƒe gbolowɔwɔ kple woƒe fiawo ƒe legba siwo me agbe mele o la ɖa tso gbɔnye, ekema manɔ wo dome tegbee.
Now therefore let them put away their fornication, and the carkeises of their Kings farre from me, and I will dwell among them for euer.
10 “Ame vi, ƒo nu tso gbedoxɔ la ŋu na Israelviwo, ale be woƒe nu vɔ̃wo nakpe ŋu na wo. Na woabu ɖoɖo la ŋu,
Thou sonne of man, shew this House to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their wickednes, and let them measure ye paterne.
11 eye ne ŋu kpe wo le nu siwo wowɔ ta la, na woanya gbedoxɔ la ƒe nɔnɔme, afi siwo woato age ɖe eme kple afi siwo woato ado go, eƒe nɔnɔme blibo la kple ɖoɖowo katã kple seawo katã. Ŋlɔ nu siawo da ɖi le woƒe ŋkume, ale be woalé woƒe ɖoɖowo kple sewo me ɖe asi.
And if they be ashamed of all that they haue done, shew them the forme of the House, and ye paterne thereof, and the going out thereof, and the coming in thereof, and the whole fashion thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the figures thereof, and all the lawes thereof: and write it in their sight, that they may keepe the whole fashion thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them.
12 “Esiae nye gbedoxɔ la ƒe se. Teƒe siwo katã ƒo xlãe le to la dzi la anye teƒe kɔkɔe. Esiae nye gbedoxɔ la ƒe se.”
This is the description of the house, It shalbe vpon the toppe of the mount: all the limites thereof round about shalbe most holy. Beholde, this is the description of the house.
13 “Esiawoe nye vɔsamlekpui la ƒe dzidzeme. Eƒe tsitoƒe de eme mita afã, eye wòkeke mita afã; woɖo to nɛ si kɔ asiƒo afã. Vɔsamlekpui la ƒe kɔkɔme le ale:
And these are the measures of the Altar, after the cubites, the cubite is a cubite, and an had breadth, euen the bottome shalbe a cubite, and the breadth a cubite, and the border thereof by the edge thereof rounde about shalbe a spanne: and this shalbe the height of the altar.
14 Tso tsitoƒe si le anyigba va se ɖe kɔ etetɔ ŋu le mita ɖeka, eye wòkeke mita afã. Tso kɔ suetɔ gbɔ va se ɖe kɔ gãtɔ gbɔ la kɔ mita eve, eye wòkeke mita afã.
And from the bottome which toucheth the ground to the lower piece shalbe two cubites: and the breadth one cubite, and from the litle piece to the great piece shalbe foure cubites, and the breadth one cubite.
15 Vɔsamlekpui la ƒe dzodoƒe kɔ mita eve, eye lãdzo eve tso dzodoƒe la ŋu do ɖe yame.
So the altar shalbe foure cubites, and from the altar vpward shalbe foure hornes.
16 Vɔsamlekpui la ƒe dzodoƒe sɔ le didime kple kekeme siaa, eye ɖe sia ɖe nye mita ade.
And the altar shalbe twelue cubites long, and twelue broade, and fouresquare in the foure corners thereof.
17 Kɔ yametɔ hã sɔ le didime kple kekeme me, eye ɖe sia ɖe didi mita adre, woɖo to nɛ ƒo xlã wòkɔ mita afã ƒe afã. Tsitoƒe la de eme mita afã ƒo xlã va kpe. Vɔsamlekpui la ƒe atrakpuiwo dze ŋgɔ ɣedzeƒe.”
And ye frame shalbe foureteene cubites log, and fourteene broade in the fouresquare corners thereof, and the border about it shalbe halfe a cubite, and the bottome therof shalbe a cubite about, and the steps thereof shalbe turned towarde ye East.
18 Tete wògblɔ nam be, “Ame vi, nya si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Esiawoe anye ɖoɖowo na numevɔsawo kple ʋuhehlẽ ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ŋu ne wotui.
And he said vnto me, Sone of man, thus saith ye Lord God, These are ye ordinances of ye altar in the day when they shall make it to offer the burnt offring thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.
19 Ele na wò be nàtsɔ nyitsu fɛ̃ ɖeka abe nuvɔ̃ŋutivɔsa ene na nunɔlawo, ame siwo nye Levitɔwo tso Zadok ƒe ƒome me, ame siwo va subɔna le nye ŋkume.’ Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.
And thou shalt giue to the Priestes, and to the Leuites, that be of the seede of Zadok, which approch vnto me, to minister vnto me, saith the Lord God, a yong bullocke for a sinne offring.
20 Ele na wò be nàku lã la ƒe ʋu aɖe asi ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ƒe lãdzo eneawo kple kɔ eneawo ƒe dzogoewo ŋu aƒo xlã kpe ɖo, ale nàkɔ vɔsamlekpui la ŋu, eye nàlé avu ɖe enu.
And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and put it on the foure hornes of it, and on the foure corners of the frame, and vpon the border round about: thus shalt thou clense it, and reconcile it.
21 Ele na wò be nàtsɔ nyitsu na nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa, eye nàtɔ dzoe le teƒe si woɖo ɖi nɛ le gbedoxɔ la me le kɔkɔeƒe la godo.
Thou shalt take the bullocke also of the sinne offring, and burne it in the appointed place of the house without the Sanctuarie.
22 “Le ŋkeke evelia gbe la, ele be nàna gbɔ̃tsu si ŋu kpɔtsɔtsɔ aɖeke mele o la na nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa, eye woakɔ vɔsamlekpui la ŋu abe ale si wokɔ eŋui kple nyitsu la ene.
But the second day thou shalt offer an hee goat without blemish for a sinne offring, and they shall clense ye altar, as they did clense it with the bullocke.
23 Ne èwu eŋutikɔkɔ nu vɔ la, ele na wò be nàna nyitsu fɛ̃ aɖe kple agbo aɖe tso lãha la me; kpɔtsɔtsɔ manɔ wo dometɔ aɖeke ŋu o.
When thou hast made an ende of clensing it, thou shalt offer a yong bullocke without blemish, and a ram out of the flocke without blemish.
24 Ele na wò be nàna wo le Yehowa ŋkume, eye nunɔlaawo awu dze ɖe wo dzi, eye woatsɔ wo asa numevɔe na Yehowa.
And thou shalt offer them before ye Lord, and the Priestes shall cast salt vpon them, and they shall offer them for a burnt offring vnto ye Lord.
25 “Ele na wò be nàna gbɔ̃tsu ɖeka gbe sia gbe, ŋkeke adre hena nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa, eye nàgana nyitsu fɛ̃ ɖeka kple agbo ɖeka tso lãha la me, kpɔtsɔtsɔ manɔ wo dometɔ aɖeke ŋu o.
Seuen dayes shalt thou prepare euery day an hee goate for a sinne offring: they shall also prepare a yong bullocke and a ramme out of the flocke, without blemish.
26 Woawɔ avuléle ɖe vɔsamlekpui la nu ŋkeke adre, wɔakɔ eŋuti, eye woatsɔe ana.
Thus shall they seuen dayes purifie the altar, and clense it, and consecrate it.
27 Le ŋkeke siawo ƒe nuwuwu, tso ŋkeke enyilia gbe yina la, nunɔlaawo awɔ miaƒe numevɔsawo kple akpedavɔsawo le vɔsamlekpui la dzi. Ekema maxɔ mi. Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.”
And when these dayes are expired, vpon the eight day and so forth, the Priests shall make your burnt offrings vpon the altar, and your peace offrings, and I will accept you, saith the Lord God.
