Hesekiel 43

1 Na ɔbarima no de me baa apuei fam pon no ano,

Afterward he brought me to the gate, euen the gate that turneth towarde the East.

2 na mihuu Israel Nyankopɔn anuonyam sɛ apue wɔ apuei fam reba. Na ne nne te sɛ asuten a ɛreworo, na asase no so hyerɛnee wɔ nʼanuonyam no mu.

And beholde, the glorie of the God of Israel came from out of the East, whose voyce was like a noyse of great waters, and the earth was made light with his glorie.

3 Anisoadehu a minyaa no te sɛnea minyaa no bere a ɔba bɛsɛee kuropɔn no ne nea minyaa wɔ Asubɔnten Kebar ho no, na mede mʼanim butuw fam.

And the vision which I saw was like the vision, euen as the vision that I sawe when I came to destroy the citie: and the visions were like the vision that I sawe by the riuer Chebar: and I fell vpon my face.

4 Awurade anuonyam faa ɔpon a ani kyerɛ apuei fam no mu hyɛn asɔredan no mu.

And the glorie of the Lord came into the house by the way of the gate, whose prospect is towarde the East.

5 Na honhom no pagyaw me de me baa mfimfini adiwo hɔ na Awurade anuonyam hyɛɛ asɔredan no ma.

So the Spirite tooke me vp and brought me into the inner court, and beholde, the glorie of the Lord filled the house.

6 Bere a ɔbarima no gyina me ho no, metee sɛ obi rekasa fi asɔredan no mu kyerɛ me.

And I heard one speaking vnto me out of the house: and there stoode a man by me,

7 Ɔkae se, “Onipa ba, ɛha ne mʼahengua sibea ne mʼanan ntiaso. Ɛha na mɛtena wɔ Israelfo mu afebɔɔ. Israelfi rengu me din ho fi bio da; wɔn anaa wɔn ahemfo remfa wɔn aguamammɔ ne ahemfo no ahoni a nkwa nni mu a wɔwowɔ wɔn sorɔnsorɔmmea no ngu me din ho fi.

Which saide vnto me, Sonne of man, this place is my throne, and the place of the soles of my feete, whereas I will dwell among the children of Israel for euer, and the house of Israel shall no more defile mine holy Name, neither they, nor their Kings by their fornication, nor by the carkeises of their Kings in their high places.

8 Bere a wɔmaa wɔn abobow ano bɛnee me, na wɔn apongua nso bɛnee me de a na ɔfasu na etwa yɛn ntam no, wɔde wɔn akyiwadeyɛ guu me din kronkron ho fi. Ɛno nti mesɛee wɔn wɔ mʼabufuw mu.

Albeit they set their thresholdes by my thresholdes, and their postes by my postes (for there was but a wall betweene me and them) yet haue they defiled mine holy Name with their abominations, that they haue committed: wherfore I haue consumed them in my wrath.

9 Afei ma wonnyi wɔn aguamammɔ ne ahemfo no ahoni a wonni nkwa no mfi mʼani so, na mɛtena wɔn mu afebɔɔ.

Now therefore let them put away their fornication, and the carkeises of their Kings farre from me, and I will dwell among them for euer.

10 “Onipa ba, kyerɛkyerɛ Israelfo sɛnea asɔredan no te na wɔn ani nwu wɔ wɔn bɔne ho. Ma wonsusuw ne so a enni no ho mfoni ho,

Thou sonne of man, shew this House to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their wickednes, and let them measure ye paterne.

11 na sɛ wɔn ani wu nea wɔayɛ ho a, twa asɔredan no mfoni kyerɛ wɔn; ne ntotoe, apon a wɔfa mu pue ne nea wɔfa kɔ mu, ne mfoni nyinaa, ho akwankyerɛ nyinaa ne mmara. Kyerɛw saa nneɛma yi wɔ wɔn anim na wɔadi me ntotoe ne ne si no mfoni no so.

And if they be ashamed of all that they haue done, shew them the forme of the House, and ye paterne thereof, and the going out thereof, and the coming in thereof, and the whole fashion thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the figures thereof, and all the lawes thereof: and write it in their sight, that they may keepe the whole fashion thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them.

12 “Asɔredan no ho mmara ni: Asase a ɛda ho wɔ bepɔw no so nyinaa yɛ kronkron. Sɛɛ na asɔredan no ho mmara te.

This is the description of the house, It shalbe vpon the toppe of the mount: all the limites thereof round about shalbe most holy. Beholde, this is the description of the house.

13 “Afɔremuka no nsusuwii na edidi so yi. Ne suka mu dɔ yɛ ɔnammɔn ne fa na ne trɛw nso saa ara, na anoano hiɛ a etwa ho hyia no nso trɛw bɛyɛ nsateaa akron. Na eyi nso ne afɔremuka no tenten:

And these are the measures of the Altar, after the cubites, the cubite is a cubite, and an had breadth, euen the bottome shalbe a cubite, and the breadth a cubite, and the border thereof by the edge thereof rounde about shalbe a spanne: and this shalbe the height of the altar.

14 Efi ne nnyinaso a esi suka no so kɔ ne soro yɛ anammɔn abiɛsa, na mu piw nso yɛ ɔnammɔn ne fa, na apa ketewa no ne apa kɛse no ntam yɛ anammɔn asia na apa no mu piw nso yɛ ɔnammɔn ne fa.

And from the bottome which toucheth the ground to the lower piece shalbe two cubites: and the breadth one cubite, and from the litle piece to the great piece shalbe foure cubites, and the breadth one cubite.

15 Afɔremuka no wusiw tokuru no sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn asia a mmɛn anan a ano hwɛ soro tuatua ho.

So the altar shalbe foure cubites, and from the altar vpward shalbe foure hornes.

16 Afɔremuka wusiw tokuru no yɛ ahinanan, na ɔfa biara yɛ anammɔn dunwɔtwe.

And the altar shalbe twelue cubites long, and twelue broade, and fouresquare in the foure corners thereof.

17 Afɔremuka no apa a ɛwɔ soro no nso yɛ ahinanan a afanan no mu biara yɛ anammɔn aduonu baako, na kaa a ɛyɛ nsateaa akron da apa no ano na suka a atwa ho ahyia yɛ ɔnammɔn ne fa. Atrapoe a ɛkɔ afɔremuka no so no ani hwɛ apuei fam.”

And ye frame shalbe foureteene cubites log, and fourteene broade in the fouresquare corners thereof, and the border about it shalbe halfe a cubite, and the bottome therof shalbe a cubite about, and the steps thereof shalbe turned towarde ye East.

18 Ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Onipa ba, sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Eyinom na ɛbɛyɛ nhyehyɛe a wɔbɛfa so abɔ ɔhyew afɔre ne ɔkwan a, sɛ wosi afɔremuka no wie a wɔbɛfa so de mogya apete ho:

And he said vnto me, Sone of man, thus saith ye Lord God, These are ye ordinances of ye altar in the day when they shall make it to offer the burnt offring thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.

19 Ɛsɛ sɛ wode nantwi ba ma asɔfo a wɔyɛ Lewifo na wofi Sadok abusua mu na wɔba mʼanim bɛsom me no sɛ bɔne afɔrebɔde, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.

And thou shalt giue to the Priestes, and to the Leuites, that be of the seede of Zadok, which approch vnto me, to minister vnto me, saith the Lord God, a yong bullocke for a sinne offring.

20 Ɛsɛ sɛ wofa nantwi ba no mogya no bi na wode keka afɔremuka mmɛn anan no ho. Wode bi bɛkeka apa a ɛwɔ soro no ntwɔtwɔw so ne anoano kaa a atwa ho ahyia no ho na wɔanam so atew afɔremuka no ho de ayɛ mpata nso.

And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and put it on the foure hornes of it, and on the foure corners of the frame, and vpon the border round about: thus shalt thou clense it, and reconcile it.

21 Ɛsɛ sɛ wofa bɔne afɔrebɔde nantwi no na wokɔhyew no wɔ asɔredan no ho faako a wɔayi ato hɔ, wɔ kronkronbea no akyi.

Thou shalt take the bullocke also of the sinne offring, and burne it in the appointed place of the house without the Sanctuarie.

22 “Da a ɛto so abien no, ɛsɛ sɛ wode ɔpapo a onni dɛm ma sɛ bɔne afɔrebɔde, na ɛsɛ sɛ wodwira afɔremuka no ho sɛnea wɔde nantwi no yɛe no.

But the second day thou shalt offer an hee goat without blemish for a sinne offring, and they shall clense ye altar, as they did clense it with the bullocke.

23 Sɛ wowie ho dwira a, ɛsɛ sɛ wode nantwi ba ne adwennini a wofi buw no mu a wonni dɛm bɛbɔ afɔre.

When thou hast made an ende of clensing it, thou shalt offer a yong bullocke without blemish, and a ram out of the flocke without blemish.

24 Ɛsɛ sɛ wode wɔn ba Awurade anim, na asɔfo de nkyene pete wɔn so na wɔde bɔ ɔhyew afɔre ma Awurade.

And thou shalt offer them before ye Lord, and the Priestes shall cast salt vpon them, and they shall offer them for a burnt offring vnto ye Lord.

25 “Ɛsɛ sɛ wode ɔpapo ba sɛ bɔne afɔrebɔde nnanson; afei ɛsɛ sɛ wode nantwi ba ne adwennini a wofi buw mu na wonni dɛm nso ba.

Seuen dayes shalt thou prepare euery day an hee goate for a sinne offring: they shall also prepare a yong bullocke and a ramme out of the flocke, without blemish.

26 Wɔbɛyɛ mpata ama afɔremuka no nnanson de atew ho; sɛɛ na wɔbɛyɛ de asi hɔ ama dwumadi no.

Thus shall they seuen dayes purifie the altar, and clense it, and consecrate it.

27 Saa nna yi akyi, efi da a ɛto so awotwe de rekɔ no, ɛsɛ sɛ asɔfo no de mo hyew afɔrebɔde ne asomdwoe afɔrebɔde no ba afɔremuka no so. Afei megye mo ato mu, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.”

And when these dayes are expired, vpon the eight day and so forth, the Priests shall make your burnt offrings vpon the altar, and your peace offrings, and I will accept you, saith the Lord God.
