Hesekiel 41
1 Ɔbarima no de me kɔɔ asɔredan no mu, na ɔsusuu afadum no; na ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn nkron wɔ ne fa biara.
[in the vision] the man brought me to into the Holy Place in the temple and measured the walls on each side of the doorway of that room: They were about (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) thick.
2 Aboboano no tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn dunum, na afasuo a epuepue wɔ afaanu no tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn nson ne fa. Afei ɔsusuu Asɔredan no mu a na ne tentene yɛ anammɔn aduosia na ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn aduasa.
The entrance was (17-1/2 feet/5.3 meters) wide, and the walls of each side of it were (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) wide. He also measured the Holy Place, it was (70 feet/21.4 meters) long and (35 feet/10.7 meters) wide.
3 Afei ɔkɔɔ kronkronbea hɔ kɔsusuu nʼafadum a ɛwɔ nʼaboboano no; ebiara tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn mmiɛnsa. Aboboano no tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn nkron, na afasuo a epuepue afaanu no nso tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn edu ne fa.
Then he entered the inner room [of the temple] and measured the walls of the entrance; [each was] (3-1/2 feet/1.1 meter) thick. The doorway was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) wide, and the walls on each side of the entrance were (12-1/4 feet/3.7 meters) long.
4 Na ɔsusuu kronkronbea no mu tentene; na ɛyɛ anammɔn aduasa na ne tɛtrɛtɛ kɔsi asɔredan no nso yɛ anammɔn aduasa. Ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Ɛha ne Kronkron Mu Kronkronbea.”
Then he measured the inner room: It was (35 feet/10.7 meters) long and (35 feet/10.7 meters) wide. He said to me, “This is the Very Holy Place.”
5 Ɔsusuu asɔredan no fasuo; na ne pipiripie yɛ anammɔn nson, na adan a ɛwowɔ nkyɛn nkyɛn a atwa asɔredan no ho ahyia no mu biara tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn nsia.
Then he measured the wall of the temple: It was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) thick.[There was a row of rooms along the outside wall of the temple]. Each of those rooms was (7 feet/2.1 meters) wide.
6 Wɔsisii nkyɛnkyɛn adan wɔ asan mmiɛnsa a ɛtoa so so. Adan aduasa wɔ asan biara so. Wɔayɛ asan yi a adan no sisi soɔ no traawa te sɛ apa a atwa asɔredan no ɔfasuo no ho ahyia. Ɛyɛ nnyinasoɔ ma adan no, nanso ɛnka asɔredan no ɔfasuo no.
There were three levels of rooms, one above the other. There were thirty rooms on each level. There were ledges all around the wall of the temple that were supports for those side rooms; so those supports were not built into the wall of the temple.
7 Nkyɛnkyɛn adan a ɛwowɔ soro no mu trɛ sene deɛ ɛwowɔ aseɛ. Asan mmiɛnsa a atwa asɔredan no ho ahyia no, deɛ ɛwɔ ɔsoro biara trɛ sene deɛ ɛwɔ nʼase, ɛno enti nkyɛnkyɛn adan a ɛwowɔ soro mu trɛ sene deɛ ɛwowɔ nʼase. Atwedeɛ bi firi asan a ɛwɔ fam pa ara no so foro tra mfimfini asan no kɔ asan a ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa so.
Each of those side rooms was wider than the one below it. The most narrow rooms were built first, at the bottom. Then a wider set of rooms was built over it, and the widest set was at the top. A set of stairs was built from the lowest level through the middle level to the highest level.
8 Mehunuu bamma a atwa asɔredan no ho ahyia a ɛyɛ nkyɛnkyɛn adan no fapem. Na ne tentene yɛ anammɔn nkron.
I saw that there was a terrace (OR, raised platform) around the temple. The terrace was the foundation for those side rooms; it was (10-1/2 feet/3.3 meters) high.
9 Nkyɛnkyɛn adan afasuo a ɛwɔ akyire no pipiripie yɛ anammɔn nson ne fa. Ɛkwan a ɛda asɔredan no nkyɛnkyɛn adan no a atwa asɔredan no ho ahyia
The outer wall of those side rooms was (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) thick. All around those side rooms there was an open area that was (35 feet/10.6 meters) wide.
10 ne asɔfoɔ adan no ntam yɛ anammɔn aduasa.
There was a row of rooms for the priests on each side of the outer wall of the inner courtyard.
11 Na apono deda nkyɛnkyɛn adan no ano a ani hwɛ ɛkwan no. Na baako wɔ atifi fam na baako nso wɔ anafoɔ fam; na bamma no anim a ɛkyerɛ ɛkwan no so no pipiripie yɛ anammɔn nson ne fa wɔ ho nyinaa.
There were two doors from those side rooms into another open area; one faced north and one faced south. That open area was (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) wide.
12 Ɛdan a ani hwɛ asɔredan no adihɔ wɔ atɔeɛ fam no tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn ɔha ne enum. Ɛdan no ɔfasuo no pipiripie yɛ anammɔn nson ne fa wɔ ho nyinaa na ne tentene yɛ anammɔn ɔha aduasa enum.
There was a large building on the west side of the temple area. It was (122-1/2 feet/37.1 meters) wide and (157-1/2 feet/47.7 meters) long. And its walls were [also] (8-3/4 feet/2.6 meters) thick.
13 Ɔsusuu asɔredan no, na ne tentene yɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonum, afei asɔredan no adihɔ ne ɛdan no a nʼafasuo ka ho no nso tentene yɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonum.
Then the man measured the temple. It was (175 feet/53 meters) long, and the [temple] courtyard, where the large building was, including its walls was [also] (175 feet/53 meters) wide.
14 Asɔredan no adihɔ a ɛwɔ apueeɛ fam, de bɛsi asɔredan no anim yɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonum.
The courtyard on the east side of the temple, across the front of the temple, was also (175 feet/53 meters) wide.
15 Afei ɔsusuu ɛdan a ani hwɛ adihɔ a ɛwɔ asɔredan no akyi ne ɛho mmarannaa a ɛwowɔ ɛfa biara; na ne tentene yɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonum. Asɔredan no mu, kronkronbea no mu ne ntwonoo a ani hwɛ adihɔ,
Then he measured the building on the west [side]. Including its walls it was also (175 feet/53 meters) wide. The outer walls of the Holy Place, the Very Holy Place, and the entry room,
16 ne aboboano, mpomma nketenkete ne mmarannaa a atwa mmiɛnsa yi ho ahyia, deɛ ɛka ho biara ne aboboano no, na wɔde nnua aduradura ho. Ɛfam afasuo no ho kɔka mpomma no ano ne mpomma no, na wɔde dua aduradura ho.
the inner walls above and below the windows, and the frames of the windows were all covered with [thin] panels of wood.
17 Ɛkwan a ɛda ɛpono a ɛkɔ kronkronbea nu mu no atifi ne afasuo no ho nyinaa, kronkrommea no mu ne asɔredan no mu no nyinaa no,
All the walls inside the temple were decorated [carvings of] winged creatures and palm trees: Between each figure of a winged creature was a carving of a palm tree. Each winged creature had two faces:
18 na wɔakurukyire Kerubim ne mmɛdua. Mmɛdua no didi Kerubim no akyi. Kerubim biara wɔ anim mmienu.
One was a face of a human, and one was the face of a lion. Those figures were carved on the walls all around the inside of the temple.
19 Onipa anim kyerɛ mmɛdua wɔ fa baako na gyata anim kyerɛ mmɛdua wɔ fa baako a aka. Na wɔakurukyire wɔ asɔredan no ho nyinaa.
20 Asɔredan no mu, ɛfiri fam kɔsi ɛkwan a ɛda ɛpono no atifi ne afasuo ho nyinaa no, na wɔakurukyire Kerubim ne mmɛdua.
They covered all the walls, from the floor to the top of the walls.
21 Na asɔredan no mu wɔ aponnwa a ɛyɛ ahanan, na deɛ ɛwɔ Kronkron Mu Kronkron no anim no nso te saa ara.
At the entrance to the Holy Place of the temple there were square doorposts. In front of the Very Holy Place there was something that resembled
22 Na afɔrebukyia a wɔde dua asene wɔ hɔ a ne ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn ɛnan ne fa a na ɛyɛ ahinanan a ɛfa biara susu anammɔn mmiɛnsa; ne ntweaso, ne nnyinasoɔ ne nʼafafa no, wɔde dua na ayɛ. Ɔbarima no ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Saa ɛpono yi na ɛsi Awurade anim.”
a wooden altar. It was (5.2 feet/1.6 meters) high and (3-1/2 feet/1.1 meters) wide on all four sides. Its corners and base and sides were [all made] of wood. The man said to me, “This is the table that is in the presence of Yahweh.”
23 Asɔredan no mu ne Kronkron Mu Kronkron no nyinaa wowɔ apono a ɛyɛ afanu.
The Holy Place and the Very Holy Place had double doors.
24 Ɛpono biara wɔ mmukamu mmienu.
Each doorway had two doors that [on hinges].
25 Na wɔakurukyire Kerubim ne mmɛdua wɔ asɔredan no mu apono so te sɛ deɛ wɔayɛ wɔ afasuo no ho no, ɛnna wɔabɔ dua nkatasoɔ wɔ ntwonoo no anim.
On the doors of the Holy Place there were carvings of winged creatures and palm trees, like those on the walls of the Holy Place. There was also a wooden roof over the front of the entry room [of the temple].
26 Ntwonoo no afasuo a ɛwowɔ afa afa no na mpomma nketenkete wɔ mu a wɔakurukyire mmɛdua wɔ afa biara. Na nkyɛnkyɛn adan a ɛwɔ asɔredan no ho nso wowɔ dua nkatasoɔ.
On the side walls of the entry room were narrow windows with [figures of] palm trees [carved] on the sides of the windows. The side rooms around the temple also had roofs.
