Mulifupi mwake mudzakhala makilomita khumi ndi awiri ndi theka, ndipo mulitali mwake, kuchokera kummawa mpaka kumadzulo, mudzafanana ndi zigawo zina za mafuko. Malo a Nyumba ya Mulungu adzakhala pakati pake.

And by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west side, shall be the oblation which ye shall offer, five and twenty thousand [reeds] in breadth, and in length as one of the portions, from the east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it.

9 “Chigawo chapadera chimene mudzachipereke kwa Yehova mulitali mwake mudzakhala makilomita khumi ndi awiri ndi theka ndipo mulifupi mwake makilomita asanu.

The oblation that ye shall offer unto the LORD shall be five and twenty thousand [reeds] in length, and ten thousand in breadth.

10 Ichi chidzakhala chigawo chopatulika cha ansembe ndipo chidzagawidwe motere: Mbali ya kumpoto kutalika kwake kudzakhala makilomita khumi ndi awiri ndi theka, mbali ya kumadzulo kudzakhala makilomita asanu, mbali ya kummawa makilomita asanu ndiponso makilomita khumi ndi awiri ndi theka mbali yakummwera. Pakati pake padzakhala malo a Nyumba ya Mulungu.

And for these, even for the priests, shall be the holy oblation; toward the north five and twenty thousand [in length], and toward the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south five and twenty thousand in length: and the sanctuary of the LORD shall be in the midst thereof.

11 Chimenechi chidzakhala chigawo cha ansembe opatulika, ana a Zadoki, amene ndi okhulupirika ponditumikira Ine, ndipo sanasochere ngati momwe anachitira Alevi pamene Aisraeli anasochera.

[It shall be] for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok, which have kept my charge; which went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.

12 Chigawochi, mwa zigawo zonse za mʼdzikomo, chidzakhala kwa ansembewo ngati mphatso yawo yapadera. Chidzachita malire ndi dziko la Alevi.

And it shall be unto them an oblation from the oblation of the land, a thing most holy, by the border of the Levites.

13 “Moyandikana ndi chigawo cha ansembe, Alevi adzakhala ndi dera lawo lotalika makilomita khumi ndi awiri ndi theka, ndipo mulifupi mwake makilomita asanu. Kutalika kwake konse kudzakhala makilomita khumi ndi awiri ndi theka ndipo mulifupi mwake makilomita asanu.

And answerable unto the border of the priests, the Levites shall have five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth: all the length shall be five and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten thousand.

14 Asagulitse kapena kusinthitsa mbali iliyonse ya chigawo chimenechi. Ichi ndi chigawo chabwino kwambiri ndipo chisapatsidwe kwa anthu ena, chifukwa ndi chopatulikira Yehova.

And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange it, nor shall the firstfruits of the land be alienated: for it is holy unto the LORD.

15 “Chigawo chotsala mulifupi mwake makilomita awiri ndi theka ndipo mulitali mwake makilomita khumi ndi awiri ndi theka, chidzakhala malo a anthu wamba, chomangapo nyumba ndiponso chodyetsera ziweto zawo. Mzinda udzamangidwa pomwepo ndipo udzakhala pakati ndi pakati.

And the five thousand that are left in the breadth, in front of the five and twenty thousand, shall be for common use, for the city, for dwelling and for suburbs: and the city shall be in the midst thereof.

16 Miyeso yake ndi iyi: kumpoto kutalika kwake kudzakhala mamita 2,250, kummwera mamita 2,250, kummawa mamita 2,250 ndipo kumadzulo mamita 2,250.

And the residue in the length, answerable unto the holy oblation, shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward: and it shall be answerable unto the holy oblation; and the increase thereof shall be for food unto them that labour in the city.

19 Anthu ogwira ntchito mu mzinda amene adzalime mʼmundamo adzachokera ku mafuko onse a Israeli.

And they that labour in the city, out of all the tribes of Israel, shall till it.

20 Chigawo chopatulika chonsechi chidzakhale makilomita khumi ndi awiri ndi theka mbali zonse. Ndiye kuti, mudzapatule padera chigawo chopatulika pamodzi ndi kadziko ka mzindawo.

All the oblation shall be five and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand: ye shall offer the holy oblation foursquare, with the possession of the city.

21 “Tsono chigawo chotsala pambali zonse ziwiri za chigawo chopatulika ndi za kadziko ka mzinda, chikhale cha mfumu. Chidzayenda motere: kuyambira mʼmalire a chigawo chopatulika kukalekezera mʼmalire akummawa. Mbali ina kuyambiranso mʼmalire a chigawo chopatulika kukalekezera malire a kumadzulo, kudutsa kufupi ndi zigawo za mafuko. Dera lonselo likhale la mfumu.

And the residue shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy oblation and of the possession of the city, in front of the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the east border, and westward in front of the five and twenty thousand toward the west border, answerable unto the portions, it shall be for the prince: and the holy oblation and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst thereof.

22 Choncho chigawo cha Alevi ndi chigawo cha mzinda zidzakhala ndi chigawo chimodzi. Chidzayambira mbali ya kummawa mpaka ya kumadzulo kwa dziko la Benjamini.

Moreover from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, being in the midst of that which is the prince’s, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall be for the prince.

23 “Za mafuko ena otsala zidzayenda motere: Benjamini adzakhala ndi chigawo chimodzi. Chidzayambira mbali ya kummawa mpaka ya kumadzulo.

And as for the rest of the tribes: from the east side unto the west side; Benjamin, one [portion].

And by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border shall be even from Tamar unto the waters of Meribath-kadesh, to the brook [of Egypt], unto the great sea.

29 “Ili ndilo dziko limene mudzagawire mafuko a Israeli kuti likhale cholowa. Zimenezi zidzakhala zigawo zawo, ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.

This is the land which ye shall divide by lot unto the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their several portions, saith the Lord GOD.

30 “Izi ndizo zidzakhale zipata zotulukira mzinda, ndipo zidzatchulidwa mayina a mafuko a Israeli. Kuyambira kumpoto kumene kudzakhala kotalika mamita 2,250,

And these are the goings out of the city; on the north side four thousand and five hundred [reeds] by measure:

It shall be eighteen thousand [reeds] round about: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The LORD is there.
