Hezekiel 45
1 “‘Ne miema anyigba la abe domenyinu ene la, ele be miana anyigba la ƒe akpa aɖe Aƒetɔ Yehowa abe teƒe kɔkɔe ene, wòadidi mita akpe wuietɔ̃ wòakeke mita akpe wuiɖeke, eye teƒe la katã nanye teƒe kɔkɔe.
When you allocate the land ownership by lot, you are to make a provision for the Lord, a holy allocation of the land that measures 25,000 cubits long and 20,000 cubits wide. This whole area is holy.
2 Eƒe akpa aɖe si ƒe didime kple kekeme siaa anye mita alafa eve blaade-vɔ-atɔ̃, anye kɔkɔeƒe la tɔ, eye woaɖe mita blaeve-vɔ-adre le eŋu aƒo xlãe godoo hena gbadzaƒe la.
Inside this there is the section for the sanctuary that measures 500 cubits square, with an open area around it 50 cubits wide.
3 Le anyigba la ƒe teƒe kɔkɔe la ŋu la, midzidze akpa aɖe wòadidi mita akpe wuietɔ̃, eye wòakeke mita akpe atɔ̃ alafa etɔ̃. Afi siae Kɔkɔeƒe si nye Kɔkɔeƒewo ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la anɔ.
From this holy allocation, measure out a section that is 25,000 cubits by 10,000 cubits. This will contain the sanctuary, the Most Holy Place.
4 Anye anyigba la ƒe akpa kɔkɔe na nunɔlawo, ame siwo wɔa subɔsubɔdɔwo le Kɔkɔeƒe la, eye wotena vana be woasubɔ le Yehowa ŋkume. Anye teƒe na woƒe aƒewo kple Kɔkɔeƒe la siaa.
This area is a holy allocation of the land which will be used by the priests who serve in the sanctuary, who come before the Lord to minister. It will be where they can live, and a holy place for the sanctuary.
5 Teƒe aɖe si adidi mita akpe wuietɔ̃, eye wòakeke mita akpe atɔ̃ alafa etɔ̃ la, anye Levitɔ siwo subɔna le gbedoxɔ me la tɔ be woanɔ le duwo me.
The other section measuring 25,000 cubits by 10,000 cubits will be assigned the Levites who work in the Temple where they can live.
6 “‘Ele na mi be miatsɔ anyigba si keke mita akpe eve alafa adre, eye wòdidi mita akpe wuietɔ̃ alafa atɔ̃ la ana du gã la abe etɔ ene, eye wòatɔ ɖe teƒe kɔkɔe la ŋu. Anye Israel ƒe aƒe blibo la tɔ.
Allocate to the city an area 5,000 cubits wide and 25,000 cubits long beside the sanctuary section. It is for the all the people of Israel.
7 “‘Fiaviŋutsu la axɔ anyigba le teƒe kɔkɔe la kple du gã la ƒe anyigba dome. Aɖo ta ɣetoɖoƒe lɔƒo tso ɣedzeƒekpa dzi, eye eƒe didime ato ɣetoɖoƒekpa dzi ayi ɣedzeƒeliƒo la dzi anɔ axadzi na to ɖeka ƒe anyigba.
The prince will be assigned the territory on both sides of the area that includes the holy section and that of the city. It will extend to the western border of the country from the west side and to the eastern border from the east side, in the same way as the allocation to the tribes.
8 Teƒe sia anye etɔ le Israel. Nye fiaviŋutsuwo magate nye amewo ɖe to o, ke boŋ woaɖe mɔ na Israel ƒe aƒe la be anyigba la nanye wo tɔ le woƒe towo nu.
This territory will be his to own in the country of Israel. My princes won't exploit my people anymore, and will make sure the people of Israel occupy the country according to their tribal allocations.
9 “‘Nya si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “Esɔ gbɔ na mi azɔ, O! Israel ƒe fia ŋutsuviwo! Miɖe asi le miaƒe nuveviwɔame kple miaƒe ameteteɖeto ŋuti, miawɔ nu si le dzɔdzɔe, eye wònyo. Midzudzɔ nuwo xɔxɔ le nye amewo si,” Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.
This is what the Lord God says: You've done enough damage, princes of Israel! Stop using violence and mistreating people! Do what is good and right. Stop evicting people and stealing their property, declares the Lord God.
10 Ele na mi be miawɔ nudanu dzɔdzɔewo ŋu dɔ, nudanu kple nudzidzenu si de.
You must use correct methods of measurement—whether it's weights on scales, or ephah for measuring solids, and a bath for measuring liquids.
11 Lolome ɖeka nanɔ dzidzenu si wotsɔ dzidzea nu siwo menye tsinuwo o kple dzidzenu si wotsɔ dzidzea tsinuwo la si. Dzidzenu si wotsɔ dzidzea tsinuwo la nanye galɔn ene eye dzidzenu si wotsɔ dzidzea nu siwo menye tsinuwo o la hã nanye galɔn ene eye wòanye dzidzenu ɖeka si dzi woda asi ɖo la na dzidzenu eveawo.
The ephah and the bath shall be the same quantity of volume. The bath will be equivalent to a tenth of a homer, and the ephah will also be equivalent to a tenth of a homer. The homer is to be the fundamental measurement.
12 Woada ga home ɖe sia ɖe woasɔ ɖe dzidzenu.
Twenty gerahs make one shekel. Sixty shekels make one mina.
13 “‘Esiae nye nu tɔxɛ si miana, lu kilogram etɔ̃ tso lu kotoku ɖe sia ɖe me kple ƒo kilogram eve tso ƒo kotoku ɖe sia ɖe me.
These are the taxes you are to contribute: one sixth of an ephah from every homer of wheat or barley.
14 Woadzidze ami si woana la kple dzidzenu si wotsɔ dzidzea tsinu, eye woanye dzidzenu si wotsɔ dzidzea tsinuwo la ƒe si nye galɔn ene.
In the case of olive oil, one tenth of a bath from every cor. (The measurement is based on baths, and a cor consists of ten baths or one homer, since ten baths equal one homer.)
15 Kpe ɖe esiawo ŋu la, woana alẽ ɖeka tso alẽ alafa eve ƒe alẽha me tso gbeɖuƒe siwo tsi bɔ ɖo le Israel. Woawɔ esiawo ŋu dɔ hena nuɖuvɔsawo, numevɔsawo kple akpedavɔsawo, be woalé avu ɖe ameawo nu. Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.
In addition one sheep is to be supplied from every flock of two hundred from the green pastures of Israel. These are to provide for the grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings, to set the people right, declares the Lord God.
16 Anyigba la dzi tɔwo katã ana nunana tɔxɛ sia hena Israel ƒe fiaviŋutsu la ƒe ŋu dɔ wɔwɔ.
Everyone in the country has to make these contributions to the prince in Israel.
17 Anye fiaviŋutsu la ƒe dɔdeasi be wòana nu hena numevɔsawo, nuɖuvɔsawo kple nunovɔsawo le Ɣleti Yeye kple Dzudzɔgbewo ƒe ŋkekenyuiwo dzi, hekpe ɖe Israel ƒe aƒe la ƒe ŋkekenyui ɖoɖiwo ŋuti. Ana nu hena nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsawo, nuɖuvɔsawo, numevɔsawo kple akpedavɔsawo ne woalé avu ɖe Israel ƒe aƒe la nu.
The prince's role is to provide the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings for the religious festivals, New Moons, and Sabbaths—in fact for all the regular religious festivals of the people of Israel. He is to provide the sin offerings, grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings to set the people of Israel right.
18 “‘Nya si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Le ɣleti gbãtɔ me, le ŋkeke gbãtɔa gbe la, ele na mi be miatsɔ nyitsu fɛ̃ ɖeka si ŋu kpɔtsɔtsɔ aɖeke mele o la, eye miakɔ Kɔkɔeƒe la ŋu.
This is what the Lord God says: On the first day of the first month you are to sacrifice a young bull that has no defects to purify the sanctuary.
19 Nunɔla la aku nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsalã la ƒe ʋu aɖe asisi ɖe gbedoxɔ la ƒe ʋɔtrutiwo ŋu kple vɔsamlekpui la ƒe kɔwo ƒe dzogoe eneawo ŋu kple xɔxɔnu emetɔ ƒe agbonutiwo ŋu.
The priest shall take some of the blood from the sin offering and put it on the doorposts of the Temple, on the four corners of the upper ledge of the altar, and on the gateposts of the inner courtyard.
20 Ele na mi be miagawɔ nu mawo ke le ɣleti la ƒe ŋkeke adrelia gbe na ame sia ame si awɔ nu vɔ̃ maɖowɔ aɖe alo ato manyamanya me la ta. Ale miawɔ avuléle ɖe gbedoxɔ la nu.
You are also to do this on the seventh day of the month on behalf of anyone who does wrong unintentionally or in ignorance. By doing this you purify the Temple.
21 “‘Le ɣleti gbãtɔ ƒe ŋkeke wuienelia gbe la, miaɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la, ŋkekenyui si axɔ ŋkeke adre, ŋkeke siwo me miaɖu abolo si wowɔ kple amɔ maʋamaʋã.
You are to keep the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month. This is a religious festival that lasts seven days, during which time bread made without yeast is to be eaten.
22 Gbe ma gbe la, fiavi ŋutsuvi la ana nyitsu ɖeka hena nuvɔ̃ŋutivɔsa ɖe eɖokui kple ame siwo katã le anyigba la dzi la ta.
On that day the prince will provide a bull as a sin offering for himself and for everyone on the country.
23 Gbe sia gbe le ŋkekenyui la ƒe ŋkeke adreawo me la, ana nyitsu adre kple agbo adre siwo ŋu kpɔtsɔtsɔ aɖeke mele o la, hena numevɔsa na Yehowa, eye wòagana gbɔ̃tsu ɖeka hena nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa.
Every day for the seven days of the festival, he will provide seven bulls and seven rams without defects as a burnt offering to the Lord, together with a male goat for a sin offering.
24 Ana nuɖuvɔsa bli agba ɖeka kpe ɖe nyitsu ɖe sia ɖe ŋu eye agba ɖeka kpe ɖe agbo ɖe sia ɖe ŋu, eye wòana ami lita ene kpe ɖe agba ɖe sia ɖe ŋu.
He will also provide an ephah of grain and a hin of olive oil as an offering to accompany each bull and each ram.
25 “‘Le ŋkekenyui si dzea egɔme le ɣleti adrelia ƒe ŋkeke wuiatɔ̃lia gbe ƒe ŋkeke adreawo me la, agana nu mawo ke kple ami hena nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsawo, numevɔsawo kple nuɖuvɔsawo.’”
For the seven days of the festival that begins on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, he is to provide the same number of sin offerings, burnt offerings, grain offerings, and olive oil.
