< 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.
Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, ye shall offer an oblation to the LORD, an holy portion of the land: the length shall be the length of five and twenty thousand reeds, and the breadth shall be ten thousand. This shall be holy in all its borders on every side.
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 there shall be for the sanctuary five hundred in length, with five hundred in breadth, square on every side; and fifty cubits on every side for its common lands.
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 shalt thou measure the length of five and twenty thousand, and the breadth of ten thousand: and in it shall be the sanctuary and the most holy place.
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.
The holy portion of the land shall be for the priests the ministers of the sanctuary, who shall come near to minister to the LORD: and it shall be a place for their houses, and an 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 the five and twenty thousand of length, and the ten thousand of breadth, shall also the Levites, the ministers of the house, have for themselves, for a possession for 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 ye shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand broad, and five and twenty thousand long, beside the oblation of the holy portion: it shall be for the whole 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 a portion shall be for the prince on the one side and on the other side of the oblation of the holy portion, and of the possession of the city, before the oblation of the holy portion, and before the possession of the city, from the west side westward, and from the east side eastward: and the length shall be the same as 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.
In the land shall be his possession in Israel: and my princes shall no more oppress my people; and the rest of the land shall they give 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 saith the Lord GOD; Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute judgment and justice, take away your exactions from my people, saith the Lord GOD.
10 Ɛsɛ sɛ mode nsania ne susudeɛ a ɛyɛ pɛ susu adeɛ.
Ye shall 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 shall be of one measure, that the bath may contain the tenth part of an homer, and the ephah the tenth part of an homer: the measure of it shall be after 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 shall be twenty gerahs: twenty shekels, five and twenty shekels, fifteen shekels, shall be your maneh.
13 “‘Akyɛdeɛ soronko a ɛsɛ wode ma nie: Ayuo kilogram mmiɛnsa ne atokoɔ kilogram mmienu ne fa.
This is the oblation that ye shall offer; the sixth part of an ephah of an homer of wheat, and ye shall give the sixth part of an ephah of an homer of barley:
14 Ngo dodoɔ a wɔatwa ato hɔ no nyɛ lita mmienu ne fa.
Concerning the ordinance of oil, the bath of oil, ye shall offer the tenth part of a bath out of the cor, which is an homer of ten baths; for ten baths are an 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 rich pastures of Israel; for a meat offering, and for a burnt offering, and for peace offerings, to make reconciliation for them, saith the Lord GOD.
16 Ɛsɛ sɛ Israelfoɔ nyinaa kɔka ɔheneba no ho na ɔde nʼafɔrebɔdeɛ ba.
All the people of the land shall give this oblation 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 it shall be the prince’s part to give burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the new moons, and in the sabbaths, in all solemnities of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make reconciliation 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 saith the Lord GOD; In the first month, in the first day of the month, thou shalt take a young bull without blemish, and cleanse 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 shall take of the blood of the sin offering, and put it upon the posts of the house, and upon the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and upon the posts 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 thou shalt do the seventh day of the month for every one that erreth, and for him that is simple: so shall ye reconcile 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, in the fourteenth day of the month, ye shall have the passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be 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 upon that day shall the prince prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bull 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 seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to the LORD, seven bulls and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days; and a kid of the goats daily 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 shall prepare a meat offering of an ephah for a bull, and an ephah for a ram, and an 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, in the fifteenth day of the month, shall he do likewise in the feast of the seven days, according to the sin offering, according to the burnt offering, and according to the meat offering, and according to the oil.
