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 in your causing the land to fall into inheritance, you lift up a raised-offering to YHWH, a holy [portion] of the land: the length—twenty-five thousand [is] the length, and the breadth—ten thousand; it [is] holy in all its surrounding border.
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.
There is of this for the sanctuary five hundred by five hundred, square, around; and fifty cubits of outskirt [is] around 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 by this measure you measure: the length—twenty-five thousand, and the breadth—ten thousand: and the sanctuary is in it, the Holy of Holies.
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.
It [is] the holy [portion] of the land; it is for priests, servants of the sanctuary, who are drawing near to serve YHWH; and it has been a place for their houses, and a holy place for the sanctuary.
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.
And of the twenty-five thousand of length, and of the ten thousand of breadth, there is to the Levites, servants of the house, for them—for a possession—twenty chambers.
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 of the possession of the city you set [an area] of five thousand breadth, and twenty-five thousand length, alongside the raised-offering of the holy [portion]; it is for all the house 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 prince: on this side and on that side of the raised-offering of the holy place, and of the possession of the city, at the front of the raised-offering of the holy place, and at the front of the possession of the city, from the west corner westward, and from the east corner eastward—and the length [is] corresponding to one of the portions from the west border to the east border—
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.
of the land there is for a possession to him in Israel, and My princes do not oppress My people anymore, and they give the land to the house of Israel according to 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.
Thus said Lord YHWH: “Enough from you—princes of Israel; turn violence and spoil aside, and do judgment and righteousness; lift up your exactions from off My people—a declaration of Lord YHWH.
10 Ɛsɛ sɛ mode nsania ne susudeɛ a ɛyɛ pɛ susu adeɛ.
You must have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just 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 is of one measure, for the bath to carry a tenth of the homer, and the ephah a tenth of the homer: its measurement is according to the 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] twenty gerah: twenty shekels, twenty-five shekels, fifteen shekels—is your maneh.
13 “‘Akyɛdeɛ soronko a ɛsɛ wode ma nie: Ayuo kilogram mmiɛnsa ne atokoɔ kilogram mmienu ne fa.
This [is] the raised-offering that you lift up; a sixth part of the ephah of a homer of wheat, also you have given a sixth part of the ephah of a homer of barley,
14 Ngo dodoɔ a wɔatwa ato hɔ no nyɛ lita mmienu ne fa.
and the portion of oil, the bath of oil, a tenth part of the bath out of the cor, a homer of ten baths—for ten baths [are] a homer;
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 out of the flock, out of two hundred, out of the watered country of Israel, for a present, and for a burnt-offering, and for peace-offerings, to make atonement by them—a declaration of Lord YHWH.
16 Ɛsɛ sɛ Israelfoɔ nyinaa kɔka ɔheneba no ho na ɔde nʼafɔrebɔdeɛ ba.
All the people of the land are at this raised-offering for the prince in Israel.
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 on the prince are the burnt-offerings, and the present, and the drink-offering, in celebrations, and in new moons, and in Sabbaths, in all appointed times of the house of Israel: he makes the sin-offering, and the present, and the burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings, to make atonement for the house 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.
Thus said Lord YHWH: “In the first [month], on the first of the month, you take a bullock, a son of the herd, a perfect one, and have cleansed the sanctuary:
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 has taken from the blood of the sin offering, and has put [it] on the doorpost of the house, and on the four corners of the border of the altar, and on the post of the gate of the inner court.
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 so you do on the seventh of the month, because of each erring one, and because of the simple one—and you have purified the house.
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 have the Passover, a celebration of seven days, unleavened bread is eaten.
22 Saa ɛda no ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhene no de nantwinini a wɔde bɛbɔ afɔdeɛ ama no ne asase no so nnipa nyinaa ba.
And the prince has prepared on that day, for himself, and for all the people of the land, a bullock, 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 celebration he prepares a burnt-offering to YHWH, seven bullocks, and seven rams, perfect ones, daily [for] seven days, and a sin-offering, a kid of the goats, daily.
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 prepares a present of an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and a hin of oil for an 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, in the celebration, he does according to these things [for] seven days; as the sin-offering so the burnt-offering, and as the present so also the oil.”
