Hesekiel 42
1 Afei, ɔbarima no dii mʼanim faa atifi fam kɔɔ mfikyire adihɔ hɔ de me baa adan a ɛne asɔredan adihɔ di nhwɛanim, na ɛne atifi fam adihɔ ɔfasuo no nso di nhweanim.
Then he brought me forth into the utter court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the separate place, and which was before the building toward the north.
2 Ɛdan a ne ɛpono kyerɛ atifi fam yi tentene yɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonum, na ne tɛtrɛtɛ nso yɛ anammɔn aduɔson enum.
Before the length of an hundred cubits was the north door, and the breadth was fifty cubits.
3 Adan no bi ne mfimfini adihɔ no a ne tentene yɛ anammɔn aduasa no di nhweanim. Na adan no bi nso ne aboɔ nsɛweeɛ a ɛwɔ mfikyire adihɔ no di nhwɛanim. Ɛso mmrannaa kyerɛkyerɛ anim wɔ nsan mmiɛnsa no mu biara so.
Over against the twenty cubits which were for the inner court, and over against the pavement which was for the utter court, was gallery against gallery in three stories.
4 Adan no anim no, na ɛkwan bi da hɔ a ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn dunum na tentene yɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonum. Wɔn apono no ano kyerɛkyerɛ atifi fam.
And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors toward the north.
5 Adan a ɛwɔ asan a ɛwɔ ɔsoro no mu susua, ɛfiri sɛ na nʼabrannaa no mu trɛ sene mmrannaa a ɛwowɔ nsan a ɛdidi aseɛ no.
Now the upper chambers were shorter: for the galleries were higher than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of the building.
6 Adan a ɛwɔ asan a ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa no nni afadum sɛdeɛ nsan a ɛwɔ aseɛ no wɔ no; enti na emu susua sene adan a ɛwowɔ nsan a ɛdidi aseɛ no.
For they were in three stories, but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore the building was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground.
7 Na ɔfasuo bi wɔ nkyɛn a ɛne adan no ne mfikyire adihɔ no sa so; na ne tentene yɛ anammɔn aduɔson enum a ɛfa adan no anim.
And the wall that was without over against the chambers, toward the utter court on the forepart of the chambers, the length thereof was fifty cubits.
8 Adan a ɛsa soɔ na ɛtoa mfikyire adihɔ no so no tentene yɛ anammɔn aduɔson enum, nanso adan a ɛsa soɔ a ɛbɛn asɔredan no tentene yɛ anammɔn ɔha ne aduonum.
For the length of the chambers that were in the utter court was fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple were an hundred cubits.
9 Sɛ obi firi mfikyire adihɔ reba mu a, ɔbɛhunu sɛ adan a ɛwɔ fam pa ara no aboboano ani kyerɛ apueeɛ fam.
And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the utter court.
10 Anafoɔ fam no, adan mmienu bi di nhwɛanim wɔ asɔredan no ne asɔredan no adihɔ hɔ ntam, na
The chambers were in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, over against the separate place, and over against the building.
11 ɛkwan bi da adan no anim. Saa adan yi te sɛ adan a ɛwɔ atifi fam no; wɔn tentene ne wɔn tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ pɛ. Ɛho apono a wɔfa mu pue ne nsusuiɛ yɛ pɛ. Apono a ɛwɔ atifi fam no
And the way before them was like the appearance of the chambers which were toward the north, as long as they, and as broad as they: and all their goings out were both according to their fashions, and according to their doors.
12 nso sesɛ adan a ɛwɔ anafoɔ fam no apono. Na ɛpono bi wɔ ɛkwan a ɛne ɔfasuo a ɛkɔ apueeɛ fam no sa soɔ no ano. Ɛhɔ na wɔfa kɔ adan no mu.
And according to the doors of the chambers that were toward the south was a door in the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall toward the east, as one entereth into them.
13 Na ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Atifi fam ne anafoɔ fam adan a ani hwɛ asɔredan adihɔ no yɛ asɔfoɔ no dea. Ɛhɔ na asɔfoɔ a wɔkɔ Awurade anim no bɛdi afɔrebɔdeɛ kronkron no. Ɛhɔ na wɔde afɔrebɔdeɛ kronkron pa ara a ɛyɛ aduane afɔrebɔdeɛ, bɔne afɔrebɔdeɛ ne afɔdie afɔrebɔdeɛ no bɛgu, ɛfiri sɛ beaeɛ no yɛ kronkron.
Then said he unto me, The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, they be holy chambers, where the priests that approach unto Yhwh shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the grain offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; for the place is holy.
14 Sɛ asɔfoɔ no kɔ beaeɛ kronkron hɔ, a ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔkɔ mfikyire adihɔ hɔ kɔsi sɛ wɔbɛyiyi wɔn ɔsom ntadeɛ agu hɔ, ɛfiri sɛ saa ntadeɛ no yɛ kronkron. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhyɛ ntadeɛ foforɔ bi ansa na wɔabɛn mmeammea a ɔmanfoɔ tumi kɔ hɔ no.”
When the priests enter therein, then shall they not go out of the holy place into the utter court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they are holy; and shall put on other garments, and shall approach to those things which are for the people.
15 Ɔsusuu deɛ ɛwɔ asɔredan no mu wieeɛ no, ɔde me faa apueeɛ ɛpono no ano pueeɛ, na ɔsusuu asɔredan no ho hyiaaɛ.
Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it round about.
16 Ɔsusuu apueeɛ fam na ɛyɛ anammɔn ahanson ne aduonum.
He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.
17 Ɔsusuu atifi fam, na ɛyɛ anammɔn ahanson ne aduonum.
He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.
18 Ɔsusuu anafoɔ fam, na ɛyɛ anammɔn ahanson ne aduonum.
He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed.
19 Afei ɔdanee nʼani hwɛɛ atɔeɛ fam, na ɔsusuiɛ no, na ɛyɛ anammɔn ahanson ne aduonum.
He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
20 Enti na ne mfefaremu no yɛ anammɔn ahanson ne aduonum wɔ afanan no nyinaa, na ɛtwa kronkronbea ne asafo atenaeɛ no ntam.
He measured it by the four sides: it had a wall round about, five hundred reeds long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place.
