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 working days; but on the sabbath day it shall be opened, and in 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 without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate; then he shall go forth: but the gate shall not be shut until 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 worship at the door of that gate before the LORD in the sabbaths and in 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 burnt offering that the prince shall offer unto the LORD shall be in the sabbath day 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 meal offering shall be an ephah for the ram, and the meal offering for the lambs as he is able to give, and an hin of oil to an ephah.
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 in the day of the new moon it shall be a young bullock without blemish; and six lambs, and a ram; they 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 prepare a meal offering, an ephah for the bullock, and an ephah for the ram, and for the lambs according as he is able, and an hin of oil to an ephah.
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 shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and he shall go forth by the way thereof.
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 come before the LORD in the appointed feasts, he that entereth by the way of the north gate to worship shall go forth by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go forth straight before him.
10 Fiavi ŋutsuvi la anɔ wo dome age ɖe eme ne ameawo ge ɖe eme, ado go ne ameawo do go.
And the prince, when they go in, shall go in in the midst of them; and when they go forth, they shall go forth [together].
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 feasts and in the solemnities the meal offering shall be an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs as he is able to give, and an hin of oil to an ephah.
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.
And when the prince shall prepare a freewill offering, a burnt offering or peace offerings as a freewill offering unto the LORD, one shall open for him the gate that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he doth on the sabbath day: then he shall go forth; and after his going forth one shall shut the gate.
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 thou shalt prepare a lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering unto the LORD daily: morning by morning shalt thou prepare it.
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 thou shalt prepare a meal offering with it morning by morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of an hin of oil, to moisten the fine flour; a meal offering unto the LORD continually by a perpetual ordinance;
15 Ale woana alẽvi la kple nuɖuvɔsa la kple ami la ŋdi sia ŋdi hena gbe sia gbe ƒe numevɔsa.
Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meal offering, and the oil, morning by morning, for a continual burnt offering.
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 unto any of his sons, it is his inheritance, it shall belong to his sons; it is their possession 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 of his inheritance a gift to one of his servants, it shall be his to the year of liberty; then it shall return to the prince; but as for his inheritance, it shall be for 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.’”
Moreover the prince shall not take of the people’s inheritance, to thrust them out of their possession; he shall give inheritance to his sons out of his own possession: that my people be not scattered 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.
Then he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers for the priests, which looked toward the north: and behold, there was a place on the hinder part westward.
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 unto me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the guilt offering and the sin offering, where they shall bake the meal offering; that they bring them not forth into the outer court, to sanctify the people.
21 Azɔ la, ekplɔm yi xɔxɔnu egodotɔ, eye wòkplɔm yi xɔxɔnu la ƒe dzogoe eneawo dzi.
Then he brought me forth into the outer court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and behold, in every corner of the court there was a 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 there were courts enclosed, forty [cubits] long and thirty broad: these four in the corners 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 row [of building] round about in them, round about the four, and it was made with boiling places 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.”
Then said he unto me, These are the boiling houses, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.
