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.
When you cast lots to divide up the land as an inheritance, you must make an offering to Yahweh; this offering will be a holy part of the land, twenty-five thousand cubits in length, and ten thousand cubits in width. It will be holy, all its area round about.
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.
From this there will be a five hundred cubits by five hundred cubits square surrounding the holy place, with a surrounding border fifty cubits in width.
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.
From this area you will measure a portion that is twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width; it will be the sanctuary, the most holy place.
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.
It will be a holy place in the land for the priests who serve Yahweh, who come near Yahweh to serve him. It will be a place for their houses and a holy area for the holy place.
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.
So it will be twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width, and it will be for towns for the Levites who serve in the house.
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.
You will designate an area for the city, five thousand cubits in width and twenty-five thousand in length, that will be next to the area reserved for the holy place; this city will belong to all the 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.
The prince's land will be on both sides of the area reserved for the holy place and the city. It will be to their west and to their east. The length will correspond to the length of one of those portions, from the west to the east.
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.
This land will be property for the prince in Israel. My princes will no longer oppress my people; instead, they will give the land to the house of Israel, for 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.
The Lord Yahweh says this: It is enough for you, princes of Israel! Remove violence and strife; do justice and righteousness! Quit your evictions of my people!—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
10 Ɛsɛ sɛ mode nsania ne asusude a ɛyɛ pɛ susuw ade.
You must have accurate scales, accurate ephahs, and accurate baths!
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 will be the same amount, so that a bath will be a tenth of a homer; the ephah will be a tenth of a homer. Their measure will be corresponding to the 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.
The shekel will be twenty gerahs; sixty shekels will make a mina for you.
13 “‘Akyɛde sononko a ɛsɛ wode ma ni: Awi kilogram abiɛsa ne atoko kilogram abien ne fa.
This is the contribution that you must present: A sixth of an ephah for every homer of wheat, and you will give a sixth of an ephah for every homer of barley.
14 Ngo dodow a wɔatwa ato hɔ no nyɛ lita abien ne fa.
The regulation offering of oil will be a tenth of a bath for every cor (which is ten baths), or for every homer, since a homer is also ten baths.
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.
One sheep or goat from the flock for every two hundred animals from the watered regions of Israel will be used for any burnt offering or peace offering to make atonement for the people—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
16 Ɛsɛ sɛ Israelfo nyinaa kɔka ɔheneba no ho na ɔde nʼafɔrebɔde ba.
All the people of the land will give this contribution to 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.
It will be the prince's responsibility to furnish animals for the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, and the drink offerings at the festivals and the new moon celebrations, and on the Sabbath days—all the fixed festivals of the house of Israel. He will provide for the sin offerings, the grain offerings, the burnt offerings, and the peace offerings for atonement on behalf of 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.
The Lord Yahweh says this: In the first month, on the first day of the month, you will take an unblemished bull from the herd and perform a sin offering for 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.
The priest will take some of the blood of the sin offering and place it on the doorposts of the house and on the four corners of the border of the altar, and on the doorposts of the gate to 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.
You will do this on the seventh of the month for each person's sin by accident or ignorance; in this way you will atone for the temple.
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, there will be for you a festival, a seven-day festival. You will eat unleavened bread.
22 Saa da no ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhene no de nantwinini a wɔde bɛbɔ afɔre ama no ne asase no so nnipa nyinaa ba.
On that day, the prince will prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bull as 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.
For the seven days of the festival, the prince will prepare a burnt offering for Yahweh: Seven bulls and seven unblemished rams each day for seven days, and a male goat each day as 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.
Then the prince will perform a food offering of an ephah for each bull and an ephah for each ram with a hin of oil for each 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 festival, the prince will perform offerings on these seven days: Sin offerings, burnt offerings, food offerings, and offerings of oil.
