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.
“And in your causing the land to fall into inheritance, you lift up a raised-offering to YHWH, a holy [portion] of the land: the length—twenty-five thousand [is] the length, and the breadth—ten thousand; it [is] holy in all its surrounding border.
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.
There is of this for the sanctuary five hundred by five hundred, square, around; and fifty cubits of outskirt [is] around it.
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.
And by this measure you measure: the length—twenty-five thousand, and the breadth—ten thousand: and the sanctuary is in it, the Holy of Holies.
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.
It [is] the holy [portion] of the land; it is for priests, servants of the sanctuary, who are drawing near to serve YHWH; and it has been a place for their houses, 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.
And of the twenty-five thousand of length, and of the ten thousand of breadth, there is to the Levites, servants of the house, for them—for a possession—twenty chambers.
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.
And of the possession of the city you set [an area] of five thousand breadth, and twenty-five thousand length, alongside the raised-offering of the holy [portion]; it is for all the house 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.
And for the prince: on this side and on that side of the raised-offering of the holy place, and of the possession of the city, at the front of the raised-offering of the holy place, and at the front of the possession of the city, from the west corner westward, and from the east corner eastward—and the length [is] corresponding to one of the portions from the west border to the east border—
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.
of the land there is for a possession to him in Israel, and My princes do not oppress My people anymore, and they give the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes.”
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.
Thus said Lord YHWH: “Enough from you—princes of Israel; turn violence and spoil aside, and do judgment and righteousness; lift up your exactions from off My people—a declaration of Lord YHWH.
10 Ele na mi be miawɔ nudanu dzɔdzɔewo ŋu dɔ, nudanu kple nudzidzenu si de.
You must have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath.
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 is of one measure, for the bath to carry a tenth of the homer, and the ephah a tenth of the homer: its measurement is according to the homer.
12 Woada ga home ɖe sia ɖe woasɔ ɖe dzidzenu.
And the shekel [is] twenty gerah: twenty shekels, twenty-five shekels, fifteen shekels—is your maneh.
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.
This [is] the raised-offering that you lift up; a sixth part of the ephah of a homer of wheat, also you have given a sixth part of the ephah of a homer of 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.
and the portion of oil, the bath of oil, a tenth part of the bath out of the cor, a homer of ten baths—for ten baths [are] a 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.
and one lamb out of the flock, out of two hundred, out of the watered country of Israel, for a present, and for a burnt-offering, and for peace-offerings, to make atonement by them—a declaration of Lord YHWH.
16 Anyigba la dzi tɔwo katã ana nunana tɔxɛ sia hena Israel ƒe fiaviŋutsu la ƒe ŋu dɔ wɔwɔ.
All the people of the land are at this raised-offering for 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.
And on the prince are the burnt-offerings, and the present, and the drink-offering, in celebrations, and in new moons, and in Sabbaths, in all appointed times of the house of Israel: he makes the sin-offering, and the present, and the burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel.”
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.
Thus said Lord YHWH: “In the first [month], on the first of the month, you take a bullock, a son of the herd, a perfect one, and have cleansed 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.
and the priest has taken from the blood of the sin offering, and has put [it] on the doorpost of the house, and on the four corners of the border of the altar, and on the post of the gate of the inner court.
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.
And so you do on the seventh of the month, because of each erring one, and because of the simple one—and you have purified the house.
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.
In the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month, you have the Passover, a celebration of seven days, unleavened bread is 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.
And the prince has prepared on that day, for himself, and for all the people of the land, a bullock, a sin-offering.
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.
And [on] the seven days of the celebration he prepares a burnt-offering to YHWH, seven bullocks, and seven rams, perfect ones, daily [for] seven days, and a sin-offering, a kid of the goats, daily.
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.
And he prepares a present of an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and a hin of oil for an ephah.
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.’”
In the seventh [month], on the fifteenth day of the month, in the celebration, he does according to these things [for] seven days; as the sin-offering so the burnt-offering, and as the present so also the oil.”
