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 will begin to divide the land by lot, separate as first-fruits for the Lord a sanctified portion of the land, in length twenty-five thousand and in width ten thousand. It will be holy within all its borders all around.
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.
And there shall be, out of the entire region, a sanctified portion of five hundred by five hundred, foursquare all around, with fifty cubits for its suburbs on all sides.
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 with this measure, you shall measure a length of twenty-five thousand, and a width of ten thousand, and within it shall be the temple and the Holy of Holies.
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.
The sanctified portion of the land shall be for the priests, the ministers of the sanctuary, who approach for the ministry of the Lord. And it shall be a place for their houses, and for the holy place of the sanctuary.
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.
Now twenty-five thousand in length, and ten thousand in width shall be for the Levites, who minister in the house. They shall possess twenty storerooms.
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 you shall appoint a possession in the city of five thousand in width, and twenty-five thousand in length, in accord with the separation of the sanctuary, for the entire house 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.
Appoint the same for the prince, on one side and on the other, in the separation of the sanctuary, and in the possession of the city, opposite the face of the separation of the sanctuary, and opposite the face of the possession of the city, from the side of the sea even to the sea, and from the side of the east even to the east. And the length shall be just as in each part, from the western border even to the eastern border.
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.
A portion of the land in Israel shall be for him. And the princes shall no longer plunder my people. Instead, they shall give the land to the house of Israel according to 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.
Thus says the Lord God: Let this be sufficient for you, O princes of Israel! Cease from iniquity and robberies, and execute judgment and justice. Separate your confines from my people, says the Lord God.
10 Ɛsɛ sɛ mode nsania ne asusude a ɛyɛ pɛ susuw ade.
You shall have just scales, and a just unit of dry measure, and a just unit of liquid measure.
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 units of dry and liquid measure shall be one uniform measure, so that a bath contains one tenth part of a cor, and an ephah contains one tenth part of a cor; each shall be of equal volume in accord with the measure of a cor.
12 Dwetɛ mpɔw na mode besusuw ade mu duru. Dwetɛ mpɔw baako bɛyɛ gram du abien, na dwetɛ mpɔw aduosia ayɛ gram ahanson aduonu.
Now the shekel consists of twenty obols. Furthermore, twenty shekels, and twenty-five shekels, and fifteen shekels makes one mina.
13 “‘Akyɛde sononko a ɛsɛ wode ma ni: Awi kilogram abiɛsa ne atoko kilogram abien ne fa.
And these are the first-fruits that you shall take: a sixth part of an ephah from each cor of wheat, and a sixth part of an ephah from each cor of barley.
14 Ngo dodow a wɔatwa ato hɔ no nyɛ lita abien ne fa.
Likewise, a measure of oil, a bath of oil, is one tenth part of a cor. And ten baths make one cor. For ten baths complete one 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 take one ram from each flock of two hundred, out of those that Israel tends for sacrifice and holocausts and peace offerings, in order to make an expiation for them, says the Lord God.
16 Ɛsɛ sɛ Israelfo nyinaa kɔka ɔheneba no ho na ɔde nʼafɔrebɔde ba.
All the people of the land will take hold of these first-fruits for the prince in Israel.
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 concerning the prince, there shall be holocausts and sacrifice and libations, on solemnities and new moons and Sabbaths, and on all the solemnities of the house of Israel. He himself shall offer the sacrifice for sin, and the holocaust, and the peace offerings, in order to make expiation for the house 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.
Thus says the Lord God: In the first month, on the first of the month, you shall take an immaculate calf from the herd, and you shall expiate the sanctuary.
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 shall take from the blood that will be for the sin offering. And he shall place it on the doorposts of the house, and on the four corners of the rim of the altar, and on the posts of the gate of the inner court.
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 so shall you do on the seventh day of the month, on behalf of each one who was ignorant or who was deceived by error. And you shall make expiation for the house.
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, the fourteenth day of the month shall be for you the solemnity of the Passover. For seven days, unleavened bread shall be eaten.
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 prince shall offer, on behalf of himself and on behalf of all the people of the land, a calf for sin.
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 during the solemnity of the seven days, he shall offer a holocaust to the Lord of seven immaculate calves and seven immaculate rams, daily for seven days, and a he-goat from among the she-goats, daily for sin.
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 shall offer the sacrifice of an ephah for each calf, and an ephah for each ram, and a hin of oil for 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, during the solemnities, he shall do just as was said above for the seven days, as much for the sin offering, as for the holocaust and sacrifice and oil.”
