< 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 in inheritance, ye lift up a heave-offering to Jehovah, a holy [portion] of the land: the length — five and twenty thousand [is] the length, and the breadth ten thousand; it [is] holy in all its border round about.
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, round about; and fifty cubits of suburb [is] to it round about.
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 thou dost measure: the length [is] five and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten thousand: and in it is the sanctuary, 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.
The holy [portion] of the land it [is]; for priests, ministrants of the sanctuary, it is, who are drawing near to serve Jehovah; and it hath been to them a place for houses, and a holy place for a 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 five and twenty thousand of length, and of the ten thousand of breadth, there is to the Levites, ministrants 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 ye give five thousand of breadth, and of length five and twenty thousand, over-against the heave-offering of the holy [portion]: to all the house of Israel it is.
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.
As to the prince, on this side, and on that side, of the heave-offering of the holy place, and of the possession of the city, at the front of the heave-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] over-against one of the portions from the west border unto 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 to him for a possession in Israel, and My princes do not oppress any more My people, and the land 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 said the Lord Jehovah: Enough to you — princes of Israel; violence and spoil turn aside, and judgment and righteousness do; lift up your exactions from off My people — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
10 Ɛsɛ sɛ mode nsania ne susudeɛ a ɛyɛ pɛ susu adeɛ.
Just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath — ye have.
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 bear a tenth of the homer, and the ephah a tenth of the homer: according to the homer is its measurement.
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, five and twenty 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 heave-offering that ye lift up; a sixth part of the ephah of a homer of wheat, also ye 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 — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
16 Ɛsɛ sɛ Israelfoɔ nyinaa kɔka ɔheneba no ho na ɔde nʼafɔrebɔdeɛ ba.
All the people of the land are at this heave-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 libation, in feasts, and in new moons, and in sabbaths, in all appointed times of the house of Israel: he doth make 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 the Lord Jehovah: In the first [month], in the first of the month, thou dost take a bullock, a son of the herd, a perfect one, and hast 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 hath taken of the blood of the sin offering, and hath put on the door-post 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 thou dost do on the seventh of the month, because of each erring one, and because of the simple one — and ye 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], in the fourteenth day of the month, ye have the passover, a feast of seven days, unleavened food 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 hath 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 the seven days of the feast he prepareth a burnt-offering to Jehovah, seven bullocks, and seven rams, perfect ones, daily 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 a present of an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, he doth prepare, and of oil a hin 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, in the feast, he doth according to these things seven days; as the sin-offering so the burnt-offering, and as the present so also the oil.
