Hezekiel 46
1 “‘Nya si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Ele be xɔxɔnu emetɔ ƒe agbo si dze ŋgɔ ɣedzeƒe la nanɔ tutu le dɔwɔŋkeke adeawo me, ke woaʋui le Dzudzɔgbe la kple Ɣleti Yeye la ƒe ŋkekenyui la dzi.
Thus saith the Lord God: The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east, shall be shut the six days, on which work is done; but on the sabbath day it shall be opened, yea and on the day of the new moon it shall be opened.
2 Fiavi ŋutsuvi la ato gota age ɖe eme to akpata la ƒe agbo me, eye wòatsi tsitre ɖe agbo la ƒe ʋɔtruti nu. Nunɔlaawo asa numevɔwo kple akpedavɔwo, asubɔ le agbo la ƒe agbali me, eye wòado go, gake womatu agbo la o va se ɖe fiẽ me.
And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate from without, and he shall stand at the threshold of the gate: and the priests shall offer his holocaust, and his peace offerings: and he shall adore upon the threshold of the gate, and shall go out: but the gate shall not be shut till the evening.
3 Le Dzudzɔgbewo kple Ɣleti Yeyewo ƒe ŋkekenyuiwo dzi la, anyigba la dzi nɔlawo asubɔ le Yehowa ŋkume le agbo la ƒe mɔnu.
And the people of the land shall adore at the door of that gate before the Lord on the sabbaths, and on the new moons.
4 Numevɔsa si fiavi ŋutsuvi la tsɔ vɛ na Yehowa le Dzudzɔgbe la dzi la, anye agbo fɛ̃ ade kple agbo ɖeka, lã siwo ŋu kpɔtsɔtsɔ aɖeke mele o.
And the holocaust that the prince shall offer to the Lord on the sabbath day, shall be six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish.
5 Nuɖuvɔsa si wòna kpe ɖe agbo la ŋu la, anye wɔ agba ɖeka, eye nuɖuvɔsa si kpe ɖe agbo fɛ̃awo ŋu la asɔ gbɔ ɖe eya ŋutɔ ƒe didi nu, eye ami lita ene nakpe ɖe agba ɖeka ɖe sia ɖe ŋu.
And the sacrifice of an ephi for a ram: but for the lambs what sacrifice his hand shall allow: and a hin of oil for every ephi.
6 Le Ɣleti Yeye la ƒe ŋkekenyui dzi la, ana nyitsu fɛ̃ ɖeka, alẽvi ade kple agbo ɖeka, lã siwo katã ŋuti kpɔtsɔtsɔ aɖeke mele o.
And on the day of the new moon a calf of the herd without blemish: and the six lambs, and the rams shall be without blemish.
7 Nu siwo wòana hena nuɖuvɔsa la woe nye wɔ agba ɖeka kpe ɖe nyitsu la ŋu, eye wɔ agba ɖeka nakpe ɖe agbo la ŋu, wòana nu si eya ŋutɔ lɔ̃ la kpe ɖe alẽviawo ŋu, eye ami lita ene nakpe ɖe agba ɖe sia ɖe ŋu.
And he shall offer in sacrifice an ephi for a calf, an ephi also for a ram: but for the lambs, as his hand shall find: and a hin of oil for every ephi.
8 Ne fiavi ŋutsuvi la ge ɖe eme la, ato akpata la ƒe agbo nu, eye wòado go to teƒe ma ke.
And when the prince is to go in, let him go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and let him go out the same way.
9 “‘Ne anyigba la dzi nɔlawo va Aƒetɔ Yehowa ŋkume le ŋkekenyui ɖoɖiawo dzi la, ame sia ame si age ɖe eme to agbo anyiehemetɔ me be yeasubɔ la, ado go to agbo dziehetɔ me. Nenema ke, ame sia ame si age ɖe eme to agbo dziehetɔ me la, ado go to agbo anyiehetɔ me. Ame aɖeke mado go to agbo si me wòto ge ɖe eme o, ke ame sia ame ado go to agbo evelia me.
But when the people of the land shall go in before the Lord in the solemn feasts, he that goeth in by the north gate to adore, shall go out by the way of the south gate: and he that; goeth in by the way of the south gate, shall go out by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go out at that over against it.
10 Fiavi ŋutsuvi la anɔ wo dome age ɖe eme ne ameawo ge ɖe eme, ado go ne ameawo do go.
And the prince in the midst of them, shall go in when they go in, and go out when they go out.
11 “‘Le azãwo kple ŋkekenyui ɖoɖiwo dzi la, nuɖuvɔsa la anye wɔ agba ɖeka kpe ɖe nyitsu ɖeka ŋu, wɔ agba ɖeka nakpe ɖe agbo ɖeka ŋu, eye nu sia nu si dze ame aɖe ŋu la, nakpe ɖe alẽviawo ŋu, eye ami lita ene nakpe ɖe wɔ agba ɖeka ŋu.
And in the fairs, and in the solemnities there shall be the sacrifice of an ephi to a calf, and an ephi to a ram: and to the lambs, the sacrifice shall be as his hand shall find: and a hin of oil to every ephi.
12 Ne fiaviŋutsu la wɔ lɔlɔ̃nununana na Aƒetɔ Yehowa, numevɔsa alo akpedavɔsa la, woaʋu agbo si dze ŋgɔ ɣedzeƒe la nɛ. Ana eƒe numevɔsa alo akpedavɔsawo abe ale si wòwɔna le Dzudzɔgbe la ene. Ekema ado go, eye ne edo go la, woatu agbo la.
But when the prince shall offer a voluntary holocaust, or voluntary peace offerings to the Lord: the gate that looketh towards the east shall be opened to him, and he shall offer his holocaust, and his peace offerings, as it is wont to be done on the sabbath day: and he shall go out, and the gate shall be shut after he is gone forth.
13 “‘Gbe sia gbe la, miana alẽvi aɖe si xɔ ƒe ɖeka, lã si ŋu kpɔtsɔtsɔ aɖeke mele o hena numevɔsa na Aƒetɔ Yehowa; mianae ŋdi sia ŋdi.
And he shall offer every day for a holocaust to the Lord, a lamb of the same year without blemish: he shall offer it always in the morning.
14 Kpe ɖe esia ŋu la, ŋdi sia ŋdi miana nuɖuvɔsa wɔ agba ɖeka kple ami lita ene be woatsɔ ablu wɔ lae. Nuɖuvɔsa sia nana Aƒetɔ Yehowa nye ɖoɖo mavɔ.
And he shall offer the sacrifice for it morning by morning, the sixth part of ephi: and the third part of a bin of oil be mingled with the fine hour: a to the Lord by ordinance continual and everlasting.
15 Ale woana alẽvi la kple nuɖuvɔsa la kple ami la ŋdi sia ŋdi hena gbe sia gbe ƒe numevɔsa.
He shall offer the lamb, and the sacrifice, and the oil morning by morning: an everlasting holocaust.
16 “‘Nu si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Ne fiaviŋutsu la na nu via ŋutsuwo dometɔ aɖe tso eƒe domenyinu me la, anye Via ŋutsu la ƒe dzidzimeviwo hã tɔ; anye wo tɔ to domenyinyi me.
Thus saith the Lord God: If the prince give a gift to any of his sons: the inheritance of it shall go to his children, they shall possess it by inheritance.
17 Ke, ne ena nane eƒe subɔlawo dometɔ ɖeka tso eƒe domenyinyi me la, anye subɔla la tɔ va se ɖe ablɔɖeƒe la dzi, ekema agazu fiaviŋutsu la tɔ. Eƒe domenyinuwo nye viawo ɖeɖe ko tɔ; woawo tɔe.
But if he give a legacy out of his inheritance to one of his servants, it shall be his until the year of release, and it shall return to the prince: but his inheritance shall go to his sons.
18 Fiaviŋutsu la maxɔ ameawo ƒe domenyinuwo, anya ameawo le woƒe domenyinuwo gbɔ o. Ana domenyinuwo viawo tso eya ŋutɔ ƒe domenyinuwo me, ale womama nye ameawo dometɔ aɖeke ɖa tso nu si nye etɔ la gbɔ o.’”
And the prince shall not take of the people’s inheritance by violence, nor of their possession: but out of his own possession he shall give an inheritance to his sons: that my people be not dispersed every man from his possession.
19 Azɔ la, ŋutsu la kplɔm to mɔnu si le agbo la xa yi xɔ kɔkɔe siwo dze ŋgɔ anyiehe la gbɔ; xɔ siawo nye nunɔlawo tɔwo, eye wòfia teƒe aɖem le axadzi le ɣetoɖoƒe lɔƒo.
And he brought me in by the entry that was at the side of the gate, into the chambers of the sanctuary that were for the priests, which looked toward the north. And there was a place bending to the west.
20 Egblɔ nam be, “Afi siae nunɔlaawo aɖa fɔɖivɔsawo kple nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsawo le. Woame nuɖuvɔsawo hã le afi sia be womatsɔ wo ava xɔxɔnu egodotɔ, eye woakɔ ameawo ŋuti o.”
And he said to me: This is the place where the priests shall boil the sin offering, and the trespass offering: where they shall dress the sacrifice, that they may not bring it out into the outward court, and the people be sanctified.
21 Azɔ la, ekplɔm yi xɔxɔnu egodotɔ, eye wòkplɔm yi xɔxɔnu la ƒe dzogoe eneawo dzi.
And he brought me into the outward court, and he led me about by the four corners of the court: and behold there was a little court in the corner of the court, to every corner of the court there was a little court.
22 Le xɔxɔnu egodotɔ ƒe dzogoe eneawo dzi la, mekpɔ xɔxɔnu bubu le dzogoe ɖe sia ɖe dzi, ɖe sia ɖe didi mita blaeve, eye wòkeke mita wuiatɔ̃. Dzidzeme ɖeka li na xɔxɔnu eneawo le dzogoe eneawo dzi.
In the four corners of the court were little courts disposed, forty cubits long, and thirty broad, all the four were of one measure.
23 Woɖo kpegli ɖe xɔxɔnu eneawo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe me ƒo xlãe, eye woɖi mlekpui ɖe kpegliawo ŋu ƒo xlãe kpe ɖo.
And there was a wall round about compassing the four little courts, and there were kitchens built under the rows round about.
24 Egblɔ nam be, “Esiawoe nye dzodoƒe siwo me ame siwo subɔna le gbedoxɔ la me la aɖa ameawo ƒe vɔsanuwo le.”
And he said to me: This is the house of the kitchens wherein the ministers of the house of the Lord shall boil the victims of the people.
