Ezekiel 43

43 ¹Den e carry me go di gate, di gate wey face east. ²Di glory of di Papa of Israel come from east. Im voice be like di sound of plenty water, and di earth shine wit im glory. ³Di vision wey I see be like di one wey e come to destroy di city, and like di vision for di Kebar River; and I fall face-down for ground. ⁴And di glory of our Papa enter di temple through di east gate. ⁵Den di Spirit of our Papa lift me up and carry me enter di inside court, and di glory of our Papa full di temple.

⁶I hear person dey talk to me from di temple, and one man stand for my side.

⁷E tell me sey: “Pikin of Man, na dis be di place of my throne, di place for di sole of my feet, wia I go dey live among di Israel pipul forever. Di house of Israel no go make my holy name dirty again—dem and dia kings—by dia unfaithful way and by di dead body of dia kings for dia high places. ^a a v7 “Dead body of dia kings for dia high places” fit dey point to royal burial monument wey dem put inside or near di temple ground. ⁸Dem put dia doormouth near my own, dia doorpost for my side, wit only wall between us. Dem make my holy name dirty by dia disgusting acts, so I destroy dem for my vex. ⁹Now make dem carry dia unfaithful way and di dead body of dia kings comot far from me, and I go dey live among dem forever.

¹⁰Pikin of Man, describe di temple to Israel, so dem go feel shame for dia sins; and make dem measure im design. ¹¹If dem shame for all wey dem don do, tell dem di design of di temple—im layout, im way-out and way-in, im whole form, all im statutes, all im designs and all im laws. Write am for dia front, so dem go fit keep im whole design and all im statutes and carry dem out.

¹²Na dis be di law of di temple: di whole area for di top of di mountain all around na most holy. Na dis be di law of di temple.

Di Altar Wey Dem Dey Take Do Sacrifice

¹³“Na dis be di altar measurement: im base na about twenty-one inches deep and twenty-one inches wide, wit rim wey be about nine inches around im edge. Na dis be di height of di altar: ¹⁴From di base for ground go di lower ledge: about three and a half feet, width na about twenty-one inches. From di smaller ledge go di bigger ledge: about seven feet, width na about twenty-one inches. ¹⁵And di altar hearth na seven feet high, and from di altar hearth, four horns stand up. ¹⁶Di altar hearth na twenty-one feet long by twenty-one feet wide, square for im four sides. ¹⁷Di ledge na twenty-four and a half feet long and wide for im four sides, wit border around am wey be about ten and a half inches and base of about twenty-one inches all around; im steps face east.”

¹⁸E tell me sey, “Pikin of Man, na dis be wetin di Sovereign Papa talk: Na dis be di rules for di altar di day wey dem build am—for offering burnt offering on top am and sprinkling blood on am. ¹⁹Give di Levite priests wey come from Zadok, wey dey come near me to serve me, na wetin di Sovereign Papa talk, one young bull as sin offering. ²⁰Take some of im blood and put am for di four horns of di altar, di four corners of di ledge, and di border all around; so you go purify am and make atonement for am. ²¹Den take di bull of di sin offering; burn am for di place wey dem set for di temple, outside di sanctuary.

²²For di second day, offer one male goat wey no get any blemish as sin offering; dem go purify di altar as dem take purify am wit di bull. ²³Wen you finish to purify am, offer one young bull wey no get blemish and one ram from di flock wey no get blemish. ²⁴Bring dem come before our Papa; di priests go sprinkle salt on top dem and offer dem as burnt offering to our Papa.

²⁵For seven days you go provide one goat every day as sin offering, and one young bull and one ram from di flock, di two of dem no get blemish. ²⁶For seven days dem go make atonement for di altar, clean am, and so dedicate am. ²⁷Wen dis days end, from di eighth day go, di priests go offer una burnt offerings and peace offerings for di altar; and I go accept una, na wetin di Sovereign Papa talk.”
