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 led me forth to the outer court, in the direction toward the north, and he brought me to the rooms which were before the separate place, and 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.
The length was a hundred cubits before the gate toward the north, 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 in the inner court, and over against the pavement in the outer court, was gallery before gallery, in three rows.
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 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.
And the upper rooms were narrower (for the galleries took away room from them) than the lower and 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, as the pillars of the courts; therefore they were narrower than the lowest, and than 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 as to the wall that was without, over against the chambers, toward the outer court, before 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 rooms that were in the outer court was fifty cubits; but before the temple it was a 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 under these rooms was an entry from the east, as one came to them from the outer court.
10 Anafoɔ fam no, adan mmienu bi di nhwɛanim wɔ asɔredan no ne asɔredan no adihɔ hɔ ntam, na
In the breadth of the wall of the court toward the east, before the separate place and before the building, were rooms.
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 there was a way before them similar to that before the rooms toward the north. Both their length and their breadth were the same, and all their goings out and their fashions and their doors were the same.
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 rooms toward the south; there was a door at the head of the way, before the well-built wall in the way toward the east, as one entered 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 he said to me, The north rooms and the south rooms, which are before the separate place, are holy rooms, where the priests, when they come near to Jehovah, eat the most holy things. There shall they lay the most holy things, both the flour-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 outer court, but shall leave there the garments in which they minister; for they are holy; and shall put on other garments, and approach to the place which belongeth to 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 to 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 himself also 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.
On all the four sides measured he the wall round about five hundred reeds in length, and five hundred in breadth, to make a separation between the holy and the unholy place.
