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 five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the first month, on the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, on the selfsame day the hand of Jehovah was upon me, and he brought me [[thither into the city]].
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.
In the visions of God he brought me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, upon which was, as it were, the frame of a city 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 when he had brought me thither, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was as the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring-reed, and he stood in 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 to me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes and hear with thine ears, and give heed to all which I shall show thee; for to the intent that I might show them to thee art thou brought hither; declare all which thou seest to 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 behold, a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand a measuring reed, in length six cubits of a cubit and a handbreadth; and he measured the breadth of the wall, one reed; and the height, one reed.
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 to the gate, which looked toward the east, and went up the steps thereof, and measured the upper threshold of the gate, one reed broad, and the other threshold of the gate one reed broad.
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 every chamber was one reed long, and one reed broad; and between the chambers were five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within was one reed.
8 Afei osusuw ɔpon no ntwironoo;
He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed.
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 he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the border thereof, two cubits; now 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 eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure, and the projecting wall-pillars were of one measure on this side, and 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 entry of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the entry of the gate, thirteen cubits.
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.
There was also a space before the chambers one cubit on this side, and a space one cubit on that side; and every chamber was six cubits on this side, and six cubits 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.
Then he measured the gate from the roof of one chamber to the roof of another; the breadth was five and twenty cubits, and door was over against door.
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 wall-pillars sixty cubits, and toward the pillars, was the court of the gate round about on every side.
15 Ɔkwan a efi abɔntenpon abobow ano kosi ntwironoo no ti yɛ anammɔn aduɔson anum.
And from the front of the gate of the entrance to the front of the porch of the inner gate were fifty cubits.
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 closed windows to the chambers and to their wall-pillars inward toward the gate round about, and likewise to the cornices; there were windows round about within, and upon the wall-pillars were palm-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 he brought me into the outer court, and behold, there were rooms, and a pavement made for the court round about; thirty rooms were upon the pavement.
18 Na nsɛwee no pem apon no nkyɛn mu, na na ɛtrɛw sɛnea apon no tenten te; eyi ne ase nsɛwee no.
And the pavement at the sides of the gates, by the length of the gates, was the lower pavement.
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 he measured the breadth from the front of the lower gate to the front of the inner court without, a hundred cubits toward the east and toward the north.
20 Afei osusuw ɔpon a ani hwɛ atifi fam na epue mfikyiri adiwo no tenten ne ne trɛw.
And as for the gate that looked toward the north in the outer court, he measured the length thereof, and the 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 border thereof, and the cornices thereof, were of the same measure as the former gate; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
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 the windows thereof, and the cornices thereof, and the palm-trees thereof were of the same measure as the gate which looked toward the east, and they went up to it by seven steps, and the cornices thereof 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 was over against the gate toward the north and east. And he measured from gate to gate a hundred cubits.
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.
Then he led me toward the south; and behold, there was a gate toward the south; and he measured the border thereof and the cornices thereof according to those 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 windows in it, and within the cornices thereof round about, like those windows; the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
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 seven steps to go up to it, and the cornices thereof were before them; and it had palm-trees, one on this side and another on that side, upon the wall-pillars 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 toward the south; and he measured from gate to gate toward the south a hundred cubits.
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 to the inner court through the south gate; and he measured the south gate according to the same 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 border thereof, and the cornices thereof were according to those measures. And there were windows in it, and within the cornices thereof, round about; it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
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 cornices round about were five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits 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 cornices thereof were toward the outer court; and palm-trees were upon the wall-pillars thereof; and in going up to it there were eight steps.
32 Afei, ɔde me baa mfimfini adiwo hɔ wɔ apuei fam na osusuw ɔpon no; na ne tenten ne nea aka no yɛ pɛ.
And he brought me to the inner court toward the east; and he measured the gate according to those 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 border thereof, and the cornices thereof, were according to those measures; and there were windows in it, and in the cornices thereof, round about; the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
34 Ne ntwironoo hwɛ mfimfini adiwo hɔ; nʼafadum ho wɔ mmedua mfoni afɛɛfɛ, na atrapoe nnidiso awotwe na wɔforo de kɔ hɔ.
And the cornices thereof were toward the outer court; and palm-trees were upon the wall-pillars thereof, on this side and on that side; and in going up to it there were eight steps.
35 Afei ɔde me baa atifi fam pon no ano na osusuwii. Na ne tenten ne nea aka no yɛ pɛ,
And he brought me to the north gate, and measured it according to those 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, and the border thereof, and the cornices thereof; and there were windows to it, round about; the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
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 cornices thereof were toward the outer court; and palm-trees were upon the wall-pillars thereof, on this side and on that side; and in going up to it there were 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 a room with its doors was by the borders of the gates, where they washed the burnt-offering.
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 were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slay thereon the burnt-offering, and the sin-offering, and the trespass-offering.
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 without, as one goeth up to the entrance of the north gate, were 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.
four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side; on the other side of the gate eight tables, whereon they slew their sacrifices.
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 four tables for the burnt-offering were of hewn stone; their length was a cubit and a half, and their breadth a cubit and a half, and their height a cubit. Thereon they laid the instruments with which they slew the burnt-offering 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 there were edging-boards of a handbreadth, prepared within round about; and upon the tables was the flesh of the offering.
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 rooms for the singers in the inner court; they were at the side of the north gate, and their prospect was toward the south; one at the side of the east gate having the prospect toward 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 to me, This room, whose prospect is toward the south, is for the priests that keep the charge of 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 room whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests that keep the charge of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, who, among the sons of Levi, come near to Jehovah to minister to him.
47 Afei wosusuw adiwo no. Na ɛyɛ ahinanan a ɔfa biara tenten yɛ anammɔn ɔha aduonum. Na afɔremuka no si asɔredan no anim.
Then he measured the court; its length was a hundred cubits, and its breadth a hundred cubits, being square. And the altar stood before the 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.
Then he brought me to the porch of the temple, and he measured the door-border of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side. And the breadth of the gate was three cubits on this side, and three cubits 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 twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; and they went up to it by steps. And there were columns by the door-border, one on this side, and another on that side.
