Hesekiel 40
1 Yɛn nnommumfa afe a ɛto so aduonu anum, afe no mfiase, ɔsram da a ɛto so du a ɛyɛ kuropɔn no asehwe afe a ɛto so dunan no, saa da no ara no Awurade nsa baa me so, na ɔde me kɔɔ hɔ.
In the fiue and twentieth yeere of our being in captiuitie, in the beginning of the yeere, in the tenth day of the moneth, in the fourteenth yeere after that the citie was smitten, in the selfe same day, the hande of the Lord was vpon mee, and brought me thither.
2 Onyankopɔn anisoadehu mu no, ɔde me kɔɔ Israel asase so, na ɔde me kogyinaa bepɔw tenten bi so; nʼanafo fam no na adan bi wɔ hɔ a ɛsɛ kuropɔn bi.
Into the lande of Israel brought he me by a diuine vision, and set me vpon a very hie mountaine, whereupon was as the building of a citie, toward the South.
3 Ɔde me kɔɔ hɔ na mihuu ɔbarima bi a ne tebea te sɛ kɔbere mfrafrae; na ogyina ɔpon no ano, kura sirikyi hama ne susudua wɔ ne nsam.
And he brought me thither, and beholde, there was a man, whose similitude was to looke to, like brasse, with a linnen thread in his hand, and a reede to measure with: and he stoode at the gate.
4 Ɔbarima yi ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Onipa ba, fa wʼani hwɛ na fa wʼaso tie na biribiara a mɛkyerɛ wo no, fa wʼadwene di akyi, efisɛ ɛno nti na wɔde wo aba ha. Ka biribiara a wubehu no kyerɛ Israelfi.”
And the man said vnto me, Sonne of man, beholde with thine eyes, and heare with thine eares, and set thine heart vpon all that I shall shew thee: for to the intent, that they might be shewed thee, art thou brought hither: declare al that thou seest, vnto the house of Israel.
5 Mihuu ɔfasu a atwa asɔredan no afefare mu nyinaa ho ahyia. Susudua a ɛhyɛ ɔbarima no nsam no tenten yɛ anammɔn du ne fa. Osusuw ɔfasu no huu sɛ mu piw yɛ anammɔn du ne fa, na ne sorokɔ nso saa ara.
And beholde, I sawe a wall on the outside of the house round about: and in the mans hand was a reede to measure with, of sixe cubites long, by the cubite, and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the buylding with one reede, and the height with one reede.
6 Afei ɔkɔɔ abɔntenpon a ɛkyerɛ apuei fam no ano. Ɔforoo nʼatrapoe no na osusuw abobow ano no, na ne trɛw yɛ susudua no baako.
Then came he vnto the gate, which looketh towarde the East, and went vp the stayres thereof, and measured the poste of the gate, which was one reede broade, and the other poste of the gate, which was one reede broade.
7 Awɛmfo adan no mu biara tenten mu yɛ susudua baako na ne trɛw mu nso saa ara, afasu ntiantia a etwitwa awɛmfo adan no ntam mu piw yɛ anammɔn ason ne fa. Ntwironoo a anim kyerɛ asɔredan no abobow ano pon no trɛw yɛ susudua baako.
And euery chamber was one reede long, and one reede broad, and betweene the chambers were fiue cubites: and the post of the gate by the porch of the gate within was one reede.
8 Afei osusuw ɔpon no ntwironoo;
He measured also the porche of the gate within with one reede.
9 na ne tenten mu yɛ anammɔn dumien, na nʼadum mu biara nso piw yɛ anammɔn abiɛsa. Ɔpon no ntwironoo anim hwɛ asɔredan no.
Then measured he the porch of the gate of eight cubites, and the postes thereof, of two cubites, and the porch of the gate was inward.
10 Na awɛmfo adan abiɛsa wɔ apuei pon no benkum so ne nifa so; na ne nyinaa kɛse yɛ pɛ na afasu ntiantia a etwitwa ntam no nso mu piw yɛ pɛ.
And the chambers of the gate Eastwarde, were three on this side, and three on that side: they three were of one measure, and the postes had one measure on this side, and one on that side.
11 Afei osusuw abɔntenpon no ano kwan, na ne trɛw yɛ anammɔn dunum na ne tenten mu nso yɛ anammɔn dunkron ne fa.
And he measured the breadth of the entrie of the gate ten cubites, and the height of the gate thirteene cubites.
12 Awɛmfo adan no mu biara anim wɔ ɔfasu tiaa a ne sorokɔ yɛ ɔnammɔn ne fa, na awɛmfo adan no mu biara yɛ ahinanan a ɔfa biara susuw anammɔn du ne fa.
The space also before the chambers was one cubite on this side, and the space was one cubite on that side, and the chambers were sixe cubites on this side and sixe cubites on that side.
13 Afei osusuw ɔpon no fi awɛmfo adan no mu baako fasu a ɛwɔ akyi no atifi kosii ɔdan a ɛne no di nhwɛanim no akyi fasu no atifi; na ɔkwan a ɛda ntam yɛ anammɔn aduasa ason ne fa.
He measured then the gate from the roufe of a chamber to the toppe of the gate: the breadth was fiue and twentie cubites, doore against doore.
14 Osusuw faa afasu ntiantia a etwitwa awɛmfo adan no ntam no nyinaa anim wɔ ɔpon kwan no mu, na ɛyɛɛ anammɔn aduɔkron. Nteɛmu no kosii ntwironoo a anim hwɛ adiwo hɔ no.
He made also postes of threescore cubites, and the postes of the court, and of the gate had one measure round about.
15 Ɔkwan a efi abɔntenpon abobow ano kosi ntwironoo no ti yɛ anammɔn aduɔson anum.
And vpon the forefront of the entry of the gate vnto the forefront of the porch of the gate within were fiftie cubites.
16 Awɛmfo adan ne afasu ntiantia a etwitwa wɔn ntam wɔ abɔntenpon kwan no mu no, na bammɔ mfɛnsere nketenkete atwa ho ahyia, na saa ara na ntwironoo no mu te, na ne nyinaa buebue kɔ mu. Afasu ntiatia a etwitwa awɛmfo adan no ntam no, wɔaduadua mmɛ wɔ anim fɛfɛɛfɛ.
And there were narrowe windowes in the chambers, and in their postes within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches: and the windowes went rounde about within: and vpon the postes were palme trees.
17 Afei ɔde me baa adiwo a ɛda akyi hɔ no. Ɛhɔ na mihuu adan bi ne nsɛwee bi a ɛwɔ adiwo no fasu ase nyinaa; na adan no yɛ aduasa wɔ nsɛwee no ho.
Then brought he me into the outwarde court, and lo, there were chambers, and a pauement made for the court round about, and thirtie chambers were vpon the pauement.
18 Na nsɛwee no pem apon no nkyɛn mu, na na ɛtrɛw sɛnea apon no tenten te; eyi ne ase nsɛwee no.
And the pauement was by the side of the gates ouer against the length of the gates, and the pauement was beneath.
19 Afei osusuw ɔkwan a efi ɔpon a ɛwɔ ase no anim kosii mfimfini adiwo no akyi; na ɛyɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonum wɔ apuei ne atifi fam.
Then hee measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate without, vnto the forefront of the court within, an hundreth cubits Eastward and Northward.
20 Afei osusuw ɔpon a ani hwɛ atifi fam na epue mfikyiri adiwo no tenten ne ne trɛw.
And the gate of the outwarde court, that looked toward the North, measured he after the length and breadth thereof.
21 Na awɛmfo adan a abiɛsa wɔ afaafa, afasu ntiaa a etwitwa wɔn ntam ne ntwironoo no afefare mu te sɛ ɔpon a edi kan no de. Ne tenten yɛ anammɔn aduɔson anum na ne trɛw yɛ anammɔn aduasa ason ne fa.
And the chambers thereof were, three on this side, and three on that side, and the postes thereof and the arches thereof were after the measure of the first gate: the length thereof was fiftie cubites, and the breadth fiue and twentie cubites.
22 Na ne mfɛnsere nketenkete ne ntwironoo ne mmedua a ɔde asiesie hɔ no no nsusuwii nyinaa te sɛ ɔpon a ani hwɛ apuei fam de no. Atrapoe na wɔforo de kɔ mu, atrapoe no ne ntwironoo no di nhwɛanim.
And their windowes, and their arches with their palme trees, were after the measure of the gate that looketh toward the East, and the going vp vnto it had seuen steppes, and the arches therof were before them.
23 Na ɔpon bi wɔ hɔ a ɛkɔ mfimfini adiwo a ɛne atifi fam pon no di nhwɛanim, sɛnea na ɛte wɔ apuei fam no. Osusuw fii ɔpon baako ano kosii nea ɛne no di nhwɛanim no ano; na ɛyɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonum.
And the gate of the inner court stoode ouer against the gate towarde the North, and towarde the East, and hee measured from gate to gate an hundreth cubites.
24 Afei odii mʼanim de me kɔɔ anafo fam, na mihuu ɔpon a ani hwɛ anafo fam no. Osusuw nʼadum ne ntwironoo na na nʼatenten te sɛ nkae no.
After that, he brought mee towarde the South, and loe, there was a gate towarde the South, and hee measured the postes thereof, and the arches thereof according to these measures.
25 Na mfɛnsere nketenkete wowɔ ɔpon no ne ntwironoo no ho nyinaa te sɛ mfɛnsere nketenkete a ɛwɔ nkae no ho no. Na ntwironoo no tenten yɛ anammɔn aduɔwɔtwe ason na ne trɛw yɛ anammɔn aduanan anan.
And there were windowes in it, and in the arches thereof round about, like those windowes: the height was fiftie cubites, and the breadth fiue and twentie cubites.
26 Na atrapoe nnidiso ason na wɔforo kɔ ɔpon no ano, na ntwironoo no ne no di nhwɛanim; na mmedua mfoni wɔ afasu ntiantia a etwitwa awɛmfo no adan no ntam no anim wɔ nʼafanu.
And there were seuen steps to go vp to it, and the arches thereof were before them: and it had palme trees, one on this side, and another on that side vpon the post thereof.
27 Na mfimfini no adiwo nso wɔ ɔpon a ani hwɛ anafo fam, na osusuw ɔkwan a ɛda saa ɔpon yi ne abɔntenpon a ɛwɔ anafo fam no ntam; na ɛyɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonum.
And there was a gate in the inner court towarde the South, and he measured from gate to gate towarde the South an hundreth cubites.
28 Afei ɔde me faa anafo fam pon no mu baa mfimfini adiwo hɔ. Osusuw anafo fam pon no; na ne tenten nyinaa te sɛ nea aka no.
And he brought me into the inner court by the South gate, and he measured the South gate according to these measures,
29 Nʼawɛmfo adan, afasu ntiatia a etwitwa adan no ntam ne ntwironoo no nsusuwii ne nea aka no yɛ pɛ. Na mfɛnsere nketenkete wowɔ ɔpon no ne ne ntwironoo no ho nyinaa. Na ne tenten yɛ anammɔn aduɔson anum na ne trɛw nso yɛ anammɔn aduasa ason ne fa.
And the chambers thereof, and the postes thereof, and the arches thereof according to these measures, and there were windowes in it, and in the arches thereof rounde about, it was fiftie cubites long and fiue and twentie cubites broade.
30 (Apon ntwironoo a atwa mfimfini adiwo no ho ahyia no mu biara tenten yɛ anammɔn aduasa ason ne fa na ne trɛw nso yɛ anammɔn ason ne fa.)
And the arches round about were fiue and twenty cubites long, and fiue cubites broad.
31 Ne ntwironoo hwɛ afikyiri adiwo hɔ; nʼafadum ho wɔ mmedua a mfoni afɛɛfɛ, na atrapoe nnidiso awotwe na wɔforo de kɔ hɔ.
And the arches thereof were towarde the vtter court, and palme trees were vpon the postes thereof, and the going vp to it had eight steppes.
32 Afei, ɔde me baa mfimfini adiwo hɔ wɔ apuei fam na osusuw ɔpon no; na ne tenten ne nea aka no yɛ pɛ.
Againe he brought me into ye inner court toward the East, and he measured the gate according to these measures.
33 Nʼawɛmfo adan, afasu ntiatia a etwitwa adan no ntam ne ntwironoo no tenten ne nea aka no yɛ pɛ. Na hɔ apon no ne ne ntwironoo nyinaa wowɔ mfɛnsere nketenkete. Na ne tenten yɛ anammɔn aduɔson anum na ne trɛw nso yɛ anammɔn aduasa ason ne fa.
And the chambers thereof, and the postes thereof, and the arches thereof were according to these measures, and there were windowes therein, and in the arches thereof round about, it was fiftie cubites long, and fiue and twentie cubites broade.
34 Ne ntwironoo hwɛ mfimfini adiwo hɔ; nʼafadum ho wɔ mmedua mfoni afɛɛfɛ, na atrapoe nnidiso awotwe na wɔforo de kɔ hɔ.
And the arches thereof were towarde the vtter court, and palme trees were vpon the postes thereof, on this side and on that side, and the going vp to it had eight steppes.
35 Afei ɔde me baa atifi fam pon no ano na osusuwii. Na ne tenten ne nea aka no yɛ pɛ,
After he brought mee to the North gate, and measured it, according to these measures,
36 saa ara na nʼawɛmfo adan, afasu ntiantia a etwitwa adan no ntam ne ne ntwironoo te sɛ nkae no, na mfɛnsere nketenkete wɔ ho nyinaa. Na ne tenten yɛ anammɔn aduɔson anum na ne trɛw nso yɛ anammɔn aduasa ason ne fa.
The chambers thereof, the postes thereof, and the arches thereof, and there were windowes therein round about: the height was fiftie cubits, and the breadth fiue and twentie cubites.
37 Ne ntwironoo no ani kyerɛ mfikyiri adiwo hɔ, nʼafadum no afaanu nyinaa ho wɔ mmedua a mfoni afɛɛfɛ, na atrapoe nnidiso awotwe na wɔforo de kɔ hɔ.
And the postes thereof were towarde the vtter court, and palme trees were vpon the postes thereof on this side, and on that side, and the going vp to it had eight steps.
38 Ɔdan bi a ɔpon da ano bɛn ntwironoo a ɛwowɔ apon a ɛwɔ mfimfini no mu biara ho, hɔ na wɔhohoro ɔhyew afɔrebɔde ho.
And euery chamber, and the entrie thereof was vnder the postes of the gates: there they washed the burnt offring.
39 Apon abien sisi abɔntenpon ntwironoo no mu, na so na wokunkum ɔhyew afɔre, bɔne afɔre ne afɔdi afɔre mmoa.
And in the porch of the gate stoode two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, vpon the which they slew the burnt offring, and the sinne offring, and the trespas offring.
40 Apon abien sisi ntwironoo no akyi, atrapoe no nkyɛn mu fa ne fa a ɛrekɔ atifi fam pon no ano hɔ.
And at the side beyond the steppes, at the entry of the North gate stoode two tables, and on the other side, which was at the porch of the gate were two tables.
41 Ɛno nti na apon anan sisi ɔpon no afa abien no fa biara; ne nyinaa yɛ apon awotwe a so na wokum afɔrebɔ mmoa.
Foure tables were on this side, and foure tables on that side by the side of the gate, euen eight tables whereupon they slew their sacrifice.
42 Na abo a wɔatwa no apon anan nso wɔ hɔ ma ɔhyew afɔrebɔde. Emu biara tenten yɛ anammɔn abien ne nkyɛmu anan mu baako, na ne trɛw nso yɛ saa ara, ne sorokɔ yɛ ɔnammɔn baako ne fa. Saa apon yi so na wɔde afoa ne nkuku a wɔde yɛ ɔhyew afɔrebɔde ne afɔrebɔde a aka no ho nneɛma gu.
And the foure tables were of hewen stone for the burnt offering, of a cubite and an halfe long, and a cubite and an halfe broade, and one cubite hie: whereupon also they layde the instruments wherewith they slew the burnt offring and the sacrifice.
43 Na kɔtɔkoro nta adinam a emu biara tenten yɛ nsateaakwaa abiɛsa sensɛn afasu no nyinaa ho. Apon no so na wɔde afɔrebɔ nam gu.
And within were borders an hand broade, fastened round about, and vpon the tables lay the flesh of the offring.
44 Mfimfini pon no akyi wɔ mfimfini adiwo no, na adan abien wɔ; baako bɛn atifi fam pon a ani hwɛ anafo fam, na baako nso bɛn anafo fam pon a ani kyerɛ atifi fam.
And without the inner gate were ye chambers of the singers in the inner Court, which was at the side of the North gate: and their prospect was towarde the South, and one was at the side of the East gate, hauing the prospect towarde the North.
45 Ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Ɔdan a ɛwɔ anafo fam no yɛ asɔfo a wɔhwɛ asɔredan no so no dea,
And he said vnto me, This chamber whose prospect is towarde the South, is for the Priestes that haue the charge to keepe the house.
46 Na ɔdan a ani kyerɛ atifi fam no yɛ asɔfo a wɔhwɛ afɔremuka no so no dea. Eyinom yɛ Sadok mmabarima a wɔn nko ara ne Lewifo a wotumi bɛn Awurade na wɔsom wɔ nʼanim.”
And the chamber whose prospect is toward the North, is for the Priestes that haue the charge to keepe the altar: these are the sonnes of Zadok among ye sonnes of Leui which may come neere to the Lord to minister vnto him.
47 Afei wosusuw adiwo no. Na ɛyɛ ahinanan a ɔfa biara tenten yɛ anammɔn ɔha aduonum. Na afɔremuka no si asɔredan no anim.
So he measured the court, an hundreth cubites long, and an hundreth cubits broad, eue foure square: likewise the altar that was before ye house.
48 Afei ɔde me baa asɔredan no ntwironoo mu, na osusuw ntwironoo no afadum, na ɔfa biara trɛw yɛ anammɔn ason ne fa. Na abobow ano no trɛw yɛ anammɔn aduonu baako ne fa. Na afasu ntiaa a epuepue ho no trɛw yɛ anammɔn anan ne fa wɔ ɔfa biara.
And hee brought mee to the porch of the house, and measured the postes of the porch, fiue cubites on this side, and fiue cubites on that side: and the breadth of the gate was three cubites on this side, and three cubites on that side.
49 Ntwironoo no trɛw yɛ anammɔn aduasa, na efi anim kosi akyi no yɛ anammɔn dunwɔtwe. Atrapoe ntoatoaso bi na wɔforo de kɔ hɔ. Na afadum sisi ntwironoo no fa biara.
The length of the porch was twentie cubites, and ye breadth eleuen cubites, and he brought me by the steps whereby they went vp to it, and there were pillars by the postes, one on this side, and another on that side.
