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.
And he led me forth into the outer court, on the way to the north side; and he brought me into the [row of] chambers that was opposite the main wing, and which was opposite 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.
On the front side the length [of which] was a hundred cubits, [up to] the north door, while 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.
Opposite the twenty cubits which were for the inner court, and opposite the pavement which was for the outer court, was corner-pillar before corner-pillar in the 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 in breadth toward the inner house, a way of one cubit [in width]; and their doors were 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 corner-pillar took away part of the space from them] than the lowest and than the middle chambers 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 like the pillars of the courts: therefore was something taken off the lowest and the middle ones [as one ascended] 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 alongside the chambers, toward the outer court in front of the chambers, was in its length 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 outer court was fifty cubits; and lo, [the whole space] in front of the temple was one 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 beneath these chambers was the entrance from the east side, as one goeth into them from the outer court.
10 Anafoɔ fam no, adan mmienu bi di nhwɛanim wɔ asɔredan no ne asɔredan no adihɔ hɔ ntam, na
On the breadth of the wall of the court in an eastern direction before the main wing, and before the building, were chambers.
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 of like appearance as that for the chambers which were on the north side, of the same length and the same breadth; and all their means of egress, and their arrangement, and their doors were of the like manner.
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 so also were the doors of the chambers that were on the south side, a door being on the head of the way, of the way directly before the wall on the east side, 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.
And he said unto me, The north chambers and the south chambers which are in front of the main wing, —these are the holy chambers, where the priests that approach unto the Lord shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, namely, the meat-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 sanctuary into the outer court; but there shall they lay down their garments wherein they may have ministered; for they are holy: and they shall put on other garments, and shall then approach to [the court] which is 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 finished the measurings of the inner house, he led me forth by the way of the gate which looked in an eastern direction, and measured it all round about.
16 Ɔsusuu apueeɛ fam na ɛyɛ anammɔn ahanson ne aduonum.
He measured the east side with the measuring-rod, five hundred rods, with the measuring-rod round about.
17 Ɔsusuu atifi fam, na ɛyɛ anammɔn ahanson ne aduonum.
He measured the north aide, five hundred rods, with the measuring-rod round about.
18 Ɔsusuu anafoɔ fam, na ɛyɛ anammɔn ahanson ne aduonum.
The south side he measured, five hundred rods, with the measuring-rod.
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 rods with the measuring-rod.
20 Enti na ne mfefaremu no yɛ anammɔn ahanson ne aduonum wɔ afanan no nyinaa, na ɛtwa kronkronbea ne asafo atenaeɛ no ntam.
On the four sides did he measure it by the wall that was all round about, five hundred rods in length, and in breadth five hundred, to make a separation between the holy place and the profane.
