Hesekiel 46
1 “‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔto mfimfini adiwo pon a ani hwɛ apuei no mu nnafua asia a wɔde yɛ adwuma, nanso Homeda ne Ɔsram Foforo da no de, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔma ano da hɔ.
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working-days; but on the sabbath-day it shall be opened, and on the day of the new moon it shall be opened.
2 Ɔhene no befi mfikyiri awura ɔpon no ntwironoo mu na wabegyina apongua no ho. Asɔfo no de ne hyew afɔrebɔde ne asomdwoe afɔrebɔde bɛbɔ afɔre. Ɔbɛsɔre wɔ ɔpon no abobow ano na wasan apue, nanso wɔrento ɔpon no mu kosi anwummere.
And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of [that] gate from without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall offer his burnt-offering and his peace-offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate, and shall go forth: but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.
3 Homenna ne ɔsram foforo nna no, ɛsɛ sɛ asase no sofo sɔre wɔ Awurade anim wɔ ɔpon no abobow ano.
And the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before Jehovah on the sabbaths and on the new moons.
4 Afɔrebɔde a ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhene no de brɛ Awurade wɔ Homeda no yɛ nguantenmma asia ne Odwennini baako a wɔn mu biara ho nni dɛm.
And the burnt-offering that the prince shall present unto Jehovah on the sabbath-day shall be six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish.
5 Aduan afɔrebɔde a wɔde ka Odwennini no ho yɛ kilogram dunsia, na nea wɔde ka nguantenmma no ho yɛ nea ɛsɔ ani, na ɔde ngo lita anan ka aduan kilogram dunsia biara ho.
And the oblation shall be an ephah for a ram, and the oblation for the lambs as he shall be able to give; and oil, a hin for an ephah.
6 Ɔsram Foforo da no, ɔmfa nantwi ba a ɔyɛ onini, nguantenmma asia ne adwennini a wɔn mu biara nnii dɛm mmra.
And on the day of the new moon, a young bullock without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram: they shall be without blemish.
7 Ɔmfa atoko kilogram dunsia nka nantwinini no ho ne adwennini no nso saa ara, na nguantenmma no de, ɔmfa atoko dodow a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔde ma. Ɔmfa ngo lita anan nka atoko kilogram dunsia biara ho mmra sɛ aduan afɔrebɔde.
And he shall offer an oblation, an ephah for the bullock, and an ephah for the ram, and for the lambs according to what his hand may attain unto; and oil, a hin for an ephah.
8 Na sɛ ɔhene no rebɛhyɛn mu a, ɔmfa ɔpon no ntwironoo no mu, na ɛsɛ sɛ hɔ ara na ɔfa de fi adi.
And when the prince cometh in, he shall come in by the way of the porch of the gate, and he shall go out by the way thereof.
9 “‘Na sɛ asase no sofo ba Awurade anim apontonna no a, nea ɔbɛfa atifi pon no mu akɔ mu akɔsɔre no, ɔmfa anafo pon no mu mfi adi; saa ara na nea ɔfa anafo pon mu kɔ mu no nso mfa atifi pon no mu mfi adi. Ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara san fa ɔpon a ɔfaa mu hyɛn mu no mu fi adi.
And when the people of the land come in before Jehovah in the set feasts, he that cometh in by the way of the north gate to worship shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that cometh in by the way of the south gate shall go out by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate by which he came in, but shall go out straight before him.
10 Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhene no fra wɔn mu; ɔne wɔn bɛba mu na ɔne wɔn afi adi.
And the prince shall come in in the midst of them, when they come in; and when they go out, they shall go out [together].
11 “‘Afahyɛ ne apontonna no, aduan afɔrebɔde no nyɛ nantwinini baako ne atoko kilogram dunsia, adwennini ne atoko kilogram dunsia, na nguantenmma no de, atoko dodow a ɛsɔ ani na ɔde bɛka ho, na ngo lita anan ka atoko kilogram dunsia biara ho.
And on the feast-days, and in the solemnities, the oblation shall be an ephah for a bullock and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs as he is able to give; and oil, a hin for an ephah.
12 “‘Bere biara a ɔhene no befi ne pɛ mu abɔ afɔre ama Awurade no, sɛ ɛyɛ ɔhyew afɔre anaa asomdwoe afɔre no, ɛsɛ sɛ wobue ɔpon a ɛkyerɛ apuei no ma no. Ɔbɛbɔ ne ɔhyew anaa nʼasomdwoe afɔre no sɛnea ɔyɛ no wɔ Homeda no. Afei obefi adi, na ɛno akyi no wɔbɛto ɔpon no mu.
And when the prince shall offer a voluntary burnt-offering or voluntary peace-offerings unto Jehovah, the gate that looketh toward the east shall be opened for him and he shall offer his burnt-offering and his peace-offerings as he did on the sabbath-day, and he shall go out again, and the gate shall be shut after he hath gone out.
13 “‘Da biara da, anɔpa biara, ɛsɛ sɛ wode oguamma a wadi afe na onni dɛm bɛbɔ ɔhyew afɔre ma Awurade.
And thou shalt daily offer a burnt-offering unto Jehovah, of a yearling-lamb without blemish: thou shalt prepare it morning by morning.
14 Anɔpa biara ɛsɛ sɛ wobɔ aduan afɔre a ɛyɛ atoko kilogram abiɛsa ne ngo lita baako ne fa a wɔde bɛfɔtɔw siam no. Aduan afɔre a wɔbɔ ma Awurade yi yɛ nhyehyɛe a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa.
And thou shalt prepare an oblation with it every morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and of oil the third part of a hin, to moisten the fine flour: an oblation unto Jehovah continually by a perpetual ordinance.
15 Ɛno nti wɔde oguamma ne atoko afɔrebɔde ne ngo no bɛma anɔpa biara sɛ daa ɔhyew afɔrebɔde.
They shall offer the lamb, and the oblation, and the oil, every morning for a continual burnt-offering.
16 “‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Sɛ ɔhene no de nʼagyapade no mu bi kyɛ ne mmabarima no mu bi a, ɛbɛyɛ nʼasefo dea na ɛyɛ wɔn agyapade.
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: If the prince give a gift unto any of his sons, it shall be that one's inheritance, for his sons: it shall be their possession by inheritance.
17 Nanso sɛ ɔde nʼagyapade no mu bi kyɛ nʼasomfo no mu bi a, ɛbɛyɛ ɔsomfo no dea kosi nʼahofadi afe. Ɛno akyi ɛbɛsan abɛyɛ ɔhene no dea. Nʼagyapade yɛ ne mmabarima nko ara dea.
But if he give a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants, it shall be his until the year of liberty; and it shall return to the prince: to his sons alone shall his inheritance remain.
18 Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔhene no gye nnipa no agyapade biara, pam wɔn fi wɔn asase so. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔma ne mmabarima agyapade fi ɔno ankasa ahode mu, sɛnea me nkurɔfo mu biara remfi nʼasase so.’”
And the prince shall not take of the people's inheritance, to thrust them by oppression out of their possession: he shall give his sons an inheritance out of his own possession: that my people be not scattered every one from his possession.
19 Afei ɔbarima no de me faa ɔkwan a ɛda ɔpon no nkyɛn mu a ɛkɔ adan akronkron a ɛkyerɛ atifi fam no, nea ɛyɛ asɔfo no dea no mu, na ɔkyerɛɛ me beae bi a ɛwɔ atɔe fam.
Then he brought me through the passage which was at the side of the gate, into the holy cells which were for the priests, which looked toward the north; and behold, a place was there at the end westward.
20 Ɔka kyerɛɛ me se: “Ɛha ne baabi a asɔfo no bɛnoa afɔdi afɔrebɔde ne bɔne afɔrebɔde na wɔato atoko afɔrebɔde, sɛnea wɔremfa mma mfikyiri adiwo hɔ mmedwira nkurɔfo no ho.”
And he said unto me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass-offering, and the sin-offering, [and] where they shall bake the oblation, that they bring them not out into the outer court, so as to hallow the people.
21 Ɔde me baa adiwo a ɛwɔ afikyiri hɔ no na odii mʼanim de me kɔɔ ne ntwea anan no so, na mihuu adiwo foforo wɔ twea biara so.
And he brought me forth into the outer court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and behold, in every corner of the court there was a court.
22 Mfikyiri adiwo no ntwea so anan no mu biara wɔ adiwo a ɛhyɛ mu a ne tenten yɛ anammɔn aduosia na ne trɛw yɛ anammɔn aduanan anum; na saa adiwo yi nyinaa kɛse yɛ pɛ.
In the four corners of the court there were enclosed courts, forty [cubits] long and thirty broad: these four corner courts were of one measure.
23 Afasu no mu biara anim no na wɔahyehyɛ abo de ase no ayɛ muka wɔ afaafa nyinaa.
And there was a row [of building] round about in them, round about those four, and it was made with boiling places under the rows round about.
24 Ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Eyinom ne mukaase a wɔn a wɔsom wɔ asɔredan mu no bɛnoa nkurɔfo no afɔrebɔde.”
And he said unto me, These are the boiling-houses, where those who do the service of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.
