Hesekiel 45
1 “‘Sɛ mokyekyɛ asase no mu sɛ agyapade a, ɛsɛ sɛ mode fa bi ma Awurade sɛ ɔmantam kronkron a ne tenten yɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa ason ne ahanum, na ne trɛw nso yɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa; saa beae no nyinaa bɛyɛ kronkron.
And when you are making a distribution of the land, by the decision of the Lord, for your heritage, you are to make an offering to the Lord of a part of the land as holy: it is to be twenty-five thousand long and twenty thousand wide: all the land inside these limits is to be holy.
2 Wobegyaw asase yi mu bi a ɛyɛ ahinanan a ne fa biara yɛ anammɔn ahanson ne aduonum ama kronkronbea, na mfikyisase a atwa ho ahyia no trɛw yɛ anammɔn aduɔson anum.
Of this, a square five hundred long and five hundred wide is to be for the holy place, with a space of fifty cubits all round it.
3 Munsusuw ɔmantam kronkron asase no mu bi a ne tenten yɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa ason ne ahannum na ne trɛw nso yɛ anammɔn mpem dunum. Ɛhɔ na wobesi kronkronbea, Kronkron Mu Kronkron no.
And of this measure, let a space be measured, twenty-five thousand long and ten thousand wide: in it there will be the holy place, even the most holy.
4 Ɛbɛyɛ asase no fa a ɛyɛ kronkron ma asɔfo a wɔsom wɔ kronkronbea na wɔbɛn Awurade, na wɔsom wɔ nʼanim. Ɛhɔ na wobesisi wɔn afi na ayɛ beae kronkron ama kronkronbea no nso.
This holy part of the land is to be for the priests, the servants of the holy place, who come near to the Lord to do his work; it is to be a place for their houses and for grass-land and for cattle.
5 Asase a ne tenten yɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa ason ne ahannum na ne trɛw nso yɛ anammɔn mpem dunum bɛyɛ beae a wɔbɛkyekye nkurow ama Lewifo a wɔsom wɔ asɔredan mu no atena mu sɛ wɔn agyapade.
A space of land twenty-five thousand long and ten thousand wide is to be for the Levites, the servants of the house, a property for themselves, for towns for their living-places.
6 “‘Wobegyaw asase a ne trɛw yɛ anammɔn mpem ason ne ahannum na ne tenten nso yɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa ason ne ahannum a ɛtoa beae kronkron no so no ama kuropɔn no; ɛbɛyɛ Israelfi nyinaa de.
And as the property for the town you are to have a part five thousand wide and twenty-five thousand long, by the side of the offering of the holy part of the land: this is to be for all the children of Israel.
7 “‘Ɔhene no bɛfa asase a ɛne ɔmantam kronkron no ne kuropɔn no dabea bɔ hye. Ɛbɛtrɛw akɔ atɔe fam ne apuei fam akɔpem atɔe ne apuei ahye so, na ɛne mmusuakuw no mu baako asase abɔ hye wɔ atifi fam ne anafo fam.
And for the ruler there is to be a part on one side and on the other side of the holy offering and of the property of the town, in front of the holy offering and in front of the property of the town on the west of it and on the east: measured in the same line as one of the parts of the land, from its limit on the west to its limit on the east of the land.
8 Asase no bɛyɛ nʼagyapade wɔ Israel. Na me mmapɔmma renhyɛ me nkurɔfo so bio, na mmom wɔbɛma Israelfo kwan ama wɔafa asase no sɛnea wɔn mmusuakuw no te.
And this will be his heritage in Israel: and my rulers will no longer be cruel masters to my people; but they will give the land as a heritage to the children of Israel by their tribes.
9 “‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Moadu akyiri pa ara. Israel mmapɔmma! Munnyae mo basabasayɛ ne mo nhyɛso na monyɛ nea ɛteɛ na eye. Munnyae me nkurɔfo nsase a mugyigyei no, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.
This is what the Lord has said: Let this be enough for you, O rulers of Israel: let there be an end of violent behaviour and wasting; do what is right, judging uprightly; let there be no more driving out of my people, says the Lord.
10 Ɛsɛ sɛ mode nsania ne asusude a ɛyɛ pɛ susuw ade.
Have true scales and a true ephah and a true bath.
11 Kɛntɛn baako, a ɛyɛ lita ɔha aduɔwɔtwe abien, na mode besusuw ade biara dodow; ɛfah ne bat bɛyɛ kɛntɛn baako mu nkyemu du.
The ephah and the bath are to be of the same measure, so that the bath is equal to a tenth of a homer, and the ephah to a tenth of a homer: the unit of measure is to be a homer.
12 Dwetɛ mpɔw na mode besusuw ade mu duru. Dwetɛ mpɔw baako bɛyɛ gram du abien, na dwetɛ mpɔw aduosia ayɛ gram ahanson aduonu.
And the shekel is to be twenty gerahs: five shekels are five, and ten shekels are ten, and your maneh is to be fifty shekels
13 “‘Akyɛde sononko a ɛsɛ wode ma ni: Awi kilogram abiɛsa ne atoko kilogram abien ne fa.
This is the offering you are to give: a sixth of an ephah out of a homer of wheat, and a sixth of an ephah out of a homer of barley;
14 Ngo dodow a wɔatwa ato hɔ no nyɛ lita abien ne fa.
And the fixed measure of oil is to be a tenth of a bath from the cor, for ten baths make up the cor;
15 Afei wɔmfa nguankuw ahannu a wɔwɔ Israel adidibea a hɔ wɔ nsu no mu baako. Eyinom na wɔde bɛyɛ aduan afɔrebɔde, ɔhyew afɔrebɔde ne asomdwoe afɔrebɔde a ɛbɛyɛ mpata ama nnipa no, Otumfo Awurade na ose.
And one lamb from the flock out of every two hundred, from all the families of Israel, for a meal offering and for a burned offering and for peace-offerings, to take away their sin, says the Lord.
16 Ɛsɛ sɛ Israelfo nyinaa kɔka ɔheneba no ho na ɔde nʼafɔrebɔde ba.
All the people are to give this offering to the ruler.
17 Ɛbɛyɛ ɔheneba no asɛde sɛ ɔde afɔrebɔde a wɔde ma ɔsom afahyɛ bi te sɛ ɔsram foforo afahyɛ, homenna ne nna a ɛtete saa no ba. Ɔde bɔne ho afɔrebɔde, ɔhyew ho afɔrebɔde, atoko afɔrebɔde, nsa afɔrebɔde ne asomdwoe afɔrebɔde bɛba abɛyɛ nkabomde ama Israel.
And the ruler will be responsible for the burned offering and the meal offering and the drink offering, at the feasts and the new moons and the Sabbaths, at all the fixed feasts of the children of Israel: he will give the sin-offering and meal offering and burned offering and the peace-offerings, to take away the sin of the children of Israel.
18 “‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Ɔsram a edi kan no da a edi kan no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde nantwinini ba baako a ne ho nni dɛm dwira kronkronbea hɔ.
This is what the Lord has said: In the first month, on the first day of the month, you are to take a young ox without any mark on him, and you are to make the holy place clean.
19 Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no de bɔne afɔrebɔde no mogya no bi keka asɔredan no apongua, afɔremuka no apa a ɛwɔ soro no ntwea so anan no ne mfimfini adiwo no apongua ho.
And the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin-offering and put it on the uprights at the sides of the doors of the house, and on the four angles of the shelf of the altar, and on the sides of the doorway of the inner square.
20 Ɛsɛ sɛ woyɛ ade koro yi ara wɔ ɔsram no da a ɛto so ason de ma obiara a wanhyɛ da na ɔyɛɛ bɔne anaa nim a onnim nti ɔbɛyɛ bɔne, na wonam so de ayɛ mpata ama asɔredan no.
And this you are to do on the seventh day of the month for everyone who is in error and for the feeble-minded: you are to make the house free from sin.
21 “‘Ɔsram a edi kan no da a ɛto so dunan no, ɛsɛ sɛ mudi Twam Afahyɛ a ɛyɛ aponto a wɔde nnanson na ɛyɛ no, saa bere no, mubedi brodo a mmɔkaw nni mu.
In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you are to have the Passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread is to be your food.
22 Saa da no ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhene no de nantwinini a wɔde bɛbɔ afɔre ama no ne asase no so nnipa nyinaa ba.
And on that day the ruler is to give for himself and for all the people of the land an ox for a sin-offering.
23 Da biara wɔ nnanson Afahyɛ no mu, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhene no de nantwinini ason ne adwennini ason a wɔn ho nni dɛm biara ba sɛ ɔhyew afɔrebɔde ma Awurade, ne ɔpapo sɛ bɔne afɔrebɔde.
And on the seven days of the feast he is to give a burned offering to the Lord, seven oxen and seven sheep without any mark on them, every day for seven days; and a he-goat every day for a sin-offering.
24 Nea ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde ba sɛ aduan afɔrebɔde yɛ kɛntɛn baako (lita aduonu abien) a ɛka nantwinini biara ho ne kɛntɛn baako (lita aduonu abien) nso a ɛka Odwennini baako biara ho. Ngo lita anan nso ka kɛntɛn biara ho.
And he is to give a meal offering, an ephah for every ox and an ephah for every sheep and a hin of oil to every ephah.
25 “‘Nnanson Afahyɛ a wofi ase wɔ ɔsram a ɛto so ason no da a ɛto so dunum no mu no, ɔhene no de saa nneɛma no ara bɛba sɛ bɔne afɔrebɔde, ɔhyew afɔrebɔde, aduan afɔrebɔde ne ngo.
In the seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month, at the feast, he is to give the same for seven days; the sin-offering, the burned offering, the meal offering, and the oil as before.
