Hesekiel 45
1 “‘Sɛ mokyekyɛ asase no mu sɛ agyapadeɛ a, ɛsɛ sɛ mode ɛfa bi ma Awurade sɛ ɔmantam kronkron a ne tentene yɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa nson ne ahanum, na ne tɛtrɛtɛ nso yɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa; saa beaeɛ no nyinaa bɛyɛ kronkron.
And when you are making a distribution of the land, by the decision of the Lord, for your heritage, you are to make an offering to the Lord of a part of the land as holy: it is to be twenty-five thousand long and twenty thousand wide: all the land inside these limits is to be holy.
2 Wɔbɛgya asase yi mu bi a ɛyɛ ahinanan a ne fa biara yɛ anammɔn ahanson ne aduonum ama kronkronbea, na mfikyisase a atwa ho ahyia no tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn aduɔson enum.
Of this, a square five hundred long and five hundred wide is to be for the holy place, with a space of fifty cubits all round it.
3 Monsusu ɔmantam kronkron asase no mu bi a ne tentene yɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa nson ne ahanum na ne tɛtrɛtɛ nso yɛ anammɔn mpem dunum. Ɛhɔ na wɔbɛsi kronkronbea, Kronkron Mu Kronkron no.
And of this measure, let a space be measured, twenty-five thousand long and ten thousand wide: in it there will be the holy place, even the most holy.
4 Ɛbɛyɛ asase no fa a ɛyɛ kronkron ma asɔfoɔ a wɔsom wɔ kronkronbea na wɔbɛn Awurade, na wɔsom wɔ nʼanim. Ɛhɔ na wɔbɛsisi wɔn afie na ayɛ beaeɛ kronkron ama kronkronbea no nso.
This holy part of the land is to be for the priests, the servants of the holy place, who come near to the Lord to do his work; it is to be a place for their houses and for grass-land and for cattle.
5 Asase a ne tentene yɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa nson ne ahanum na ne tɛtrɛtɛ nso yɛ anammɔn mpem dunum bɛyɛ beaeɛ a wɔbɛkyekyere nkuro ama Lewifoɔ a wɔsom wɔ asɔredan mu no atena mu sɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ.
A space of land twenty-five thousand long and ten thousand wide is to be for the Levites, the servants of the house, a property for themselves, for towns for their living-places.
6 “‘Wɔbɛgya asase a ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn mpem nson ne ahanum na ne tentene nso yɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa nson ne ahanum a ɛtoa beaeɛ kronkron no so no ama kuropɔn no; ɛbɛyɛ Israel efie nyinaa dea.
And as the property for the town you are to have a part five thousand wide and twenty-five thousand long, by the side of the offering of the holy part of the land: this is to be for all the children of Israel.
7 “‘Ɔhene no bɛfa asase a ɛne ɔmantam kronkron no ne kuropɔn no daberɛ bɔ hyeɛ. Ɛbɛtrɛ akɔ atɔeɛ fam ne apueeɛ fam akɔpem atɔeɛ ne apueeɛ ahyeɛ so, na ɛne mmusuakuo no mu baako asase abɔ hyeɛ wɔ atifi fam ne anafoɔ fam.
And for the ruler there is to be a part on one side and on the other side of the holy offering and of the property of the town, in front of the holy offering and in front of the property of the town on the west of it and on the east: measured in the same line as one of the parts of the land, from its limit on the west to its limit on the east of the land.
8 Asase no bɛyɛ nʼagyapadeɛ wɔ Israel. Na me mmapɔmma renhyɛ me nkurɔfoɔ so bio, na mmom wɔbɛma Israel efie ɛkwan ama wɔafa asase no sɛdeɛ wɔn mmusuakuo no teɛ.
And this will be his heritage in Israel: and my rulers will no longer be cruel masters to my people; but they will give the land as a heritage to the children of Israel by their tribes.
9 “‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Moaduru akyiri pa ara, Israel mmapɔmma! Monnyae mo basabasayɛ ne mo nhyɛsoɔ na monyɛ deɛ ɛtene na ɛyɛ. Monnyae me nkurɔfoɔ nsase a mogyegyeɛ no, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.
This is what the Lord has said: Let this be enough for you, O rulers of Israel: let there be an end of violent behaviour and wasting; do what is right, judging uprightly; let there be no more driving out of my people, says the Lord.
10 Ɛsɛ sɛ mode nsania ne susudeɛ a ɛyɛ pɛ susu adeɛ.
Have true scales and a true ephah and a true bath.
11 Kɛntɛn baako, a ɛyɛ lita ɔha aduɔwɔtwe mmienu, na mode bɛsusu adeɛ biara dodoɔ; ɛfah ne bat bɛyɛ kɛntɛn baako mu nkyɛmu edu.
The ephah and the bath are to be of the same measure, so that the bath is equal to a tenth of a homer, and the ephah to a tenth of a homer: the unit of measure is to be a homer.
12 Dwetɛ mpɔ na mode bɛsusu adeɛ mu duru. Dwetɛ mpɔ baako bɛyɛ gram dumienu, na dwetɛ mpɔ aduosia ayɛ gram ahanson aduonu.
And the shekel is to be twenty gerahs: five shekels are five, and ten shekels are ten, and your maneh is to be fifty shekels
13 “‘Akyɛdeɛ soronko a ɛsɛ wode ma nie: Ayuo kilogram mmiɛnsa ne atokoɔ kilogram mmienu ne fa.
This is the offering you are to give: a sixth of an ephah out of a homer of wheat, and a sixth of an ephah out of a homer of barley;
14 Ngo dodoɔ a wɔatwa ato hɔ no nyɛ lita mmienu ne fa.
And the fixed measure of oil is to be a tenth of a bath from the cor, for ten baths make up the cor;
15 Afei wɔmfa nnwankuo ahanu a wɔwɔ Israel adidibea a ɛhɔ wɔ nsuo no mu baako. Yeinom na wɔde bɛyɛ aduane afɔrebɔdeɛ, ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ ne asomdwoeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛbɛyɛ mpatadeɛ ama nnipa no, Otumfoɔ Awurade na ɔseɛ.
And one lamb from the flock out of every two hundred, from all the families of Israel, for a meal offering and for a burned offering and for peace-offerings, to take away their sin, says the Lord.
16 Ɛsɛ sɛ Israelfoɔ nyinaa kɔka ɔheneba no ho na ɔde nʼafɔrebɔdeɛ ba.
All the people are to give this offering to the ruler.
17 Ɛbɛyɛ ɔheneba no asɛdeɛ sɛ ɔde afɔrebɔdeɛ a wɔde ma ɔsom afahyɛ bi te sɛ ɔbosome foforɔ afahyɛ, home nna ne nna a ɛtete saa no ba. Ɔde bɔne ho afɔrebɔdeɛ, ɔhyeɛ ho afɔrebɔdeɛ, atokoɔ afɔrebɔdeɛ, nsã afɔrebɔdeɛ ne asomdwoeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ bɛba abɛyɛ nkabomudeɛ ama Israel.
And the ruler will be responsible for the burned offering and the meal offering and the drink offering, at the feasts and the new moons and the Sabbaths, at all the fixed feasts of the children of Israel: he will give the sin-offering and meal offering and burned offering and the peace-offerings, to take away the sin of the children of Israel.
18 “‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Ɔbosome a ɛdi ɛkan no ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde nantwinini ba baako a ne ho nni dɛm dwira kronkronbea hɔ.
This is what the Lord has said: In the first month, on the first day of the month, you are to take a young ox without any mark on him, and you are to make the holy place clean.
19 Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfoɔ no de bɔne afɔrebɔdeɛ no mogya no bi keka asɔredan no aponnwa, afɔrebukyia no apa a ɛwɔ soro no ntweaso ɛnan no ne mfimfini adihɔ no aponnwa ho.
And the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin-offering and put it on the uprights at the sides of the doors of the house, and on the four angles of the shelf of the altar, and on the sides of the doorway of the inner square.
20 Ɛsɛ sɛ woyɛ ade korɔ yi ara wɔ ɔbosome no ɛda a ɛtɔ so nson de ma obiara a ɔfiri anibiannasoɔ mu bɛyɛ bɔne anaa nim a ɔnnim enti ɔbɛyɛ bɔne, na wo nam so de ayɛ mpata ama asɔredan no.
And this you are to do on the seventh day of the month for everyone who is in error and for the feeble-minded: you are to make the house free from sin.
21 “‘Ɔbosome a ɛdi ɛkan no ɛda a ɛtɔ sɔ dunan no, ɛsɛ sɛ modi Twam Afahyɛ a ɛyɛ apontoɔ a wɔde nnanson na ɛyɛ no. Saa ɛberɛ no, mobɛdi burodo a mmɔreka nni mu.
In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you are to have the Passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread is to be your food.
22 Saa ɛda no ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhene no de nantwinini a wɔde bɛbɔ afɔdeɛ ama no ne asase no so nnipa nyinaa ba.
And on that day the ruler is to give for himself and for all the people of the land an ox for a sin-offering.
23 Ɛda biara wɔ nnanson Afahyɛ no mu, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhene no de nantwinini nson ne nnwennini nson a wɔn ho nni dɛm biara ba sɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ ma Awurade, ne ɔpapo sɛ bɔne afɔrebɔdeɛ.
And on the seven days of the feast he is to give a burned offering to the Lord, seven oxen and seven sheep without any mark on them, every day for seven days; and a he-goat every day for a sin-offering.
24 Deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde ba sɛ aduane afɔrebɔdeɛ yɛ kɛntɛn baako (lita dumienu) a ɛka nantwinini biara ho ne kɛntɛn baako (lita dumienu) nso a ɛka odwennini baako biara ho. Ngo lita ɛnan nso ka kɛntɛn biara ho.
And he is to give a meal offering, an ephah for every ox and an ephah for every sheep and a hin of oil to every ephah.
25 “‘Nnanson Afahyɛ a wɔhyɛ aseɛ wɔ ɔbosome a ɛtɔ so nson no ɛda a ɛtɔ so dunum no mu no, ɔhene no de saa nneɛma no ara bɛba sɛ bɔne afɔrebɔdeɛ, ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ, aduane afɔrebɔdeɛ ne ngo.
In the seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month, at the feast, he is to give the same for seven days; the sin-offering, the burned offering, the meal offering, and the oil as before.
