Ezekiel 45
1 Khohmuen te rho la na naan uh vaengah BOEIPA te khosaa neh na pomsang ni. Khohmuen te a yun thawng kul thawng nga sen tih a daang thawng rha te hmuencim la hoep lamtah a kaepvai kah a rhi khaw boeih ah cimcaihnah om saeh.
“‘When the land of Israel is divided [among the twelve tribes], you must present to me, Yahweh, one part of the land to be a sacred district. It will be (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (6.7 miles/10.6 km.) wide. That entire area will be (holy/set apart for me).
2 Hmuencim ham he ya nga, ya nga ah hniboeng bangla om saeh. A kaep, kaep ah dong sawmnga te khocaak la om saeh.
Part of that area, (875 feet/265 meters) on each side, will be for the temple area. An additional strip of ground, (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) wide, will be left empty all around the temple area.
3 Te tlam cungnueh nen a yun thawng kul thawng nga, panga neh a daang thawng rha nueh lamtah a khui te hmuencim kah hmuencim rhokso la om saeh.
Inside that sacred district, measure a section (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (3.5 miles/5.3 km.) wide.
4 Khohmuen lamkah hmuencim te BOEIPA taengah thohtat ham aka paan tih rhokso kah aka thotat khosoih rhoek ham om saeh. Amih ham im neh rhokso kah rhokso hmuen la om saeh.
That section will be the sacred portion of the land for the priests who work in the temple and who come near to me to serve me. It will be a place for their houses as well as being a holy place for the temple.
5 Te vaengah thawng kul thawng nga te a yun saeh lamtah thawng rha te a daang la om saeh. Te vaengah im kah aka thotat, amih Levi rhoek ham te khohut la imkhan pakul om pah saeh.
An area (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (3.5 miles/5.3 km.) wide will be for the descendants of Levi who work in the temple. That area will belong to them, and they will be permitted to build cities there to live in.
6 Khopuei kah khohut te a daang thawng nga neh a yun thawng kul nga te voeivang ah hoep pah. Te te Israel imkhui pum ham khosaa hmuencim la om saeh.
Alongside that sacred area will be a section of land that is (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (1.7 miles/2.65 km.) wide. It will be for a city where anyone in Israel [MTY] will be permitted to live.
7 Hmuencim khosaa kah a kaep, kaep ah, khopuei khohut kah hmuencim khosaa hmai duela, khotlak tuipuei ngong lamloh khothoeng kah khothoeng ngong khopuei khohut hmai duela, khotlak rhi lamloh khothoeng rhi duela voeivang kah khoyun te khoboei ham khoyo pakhat la om saeh.
The king will have two sections of land; one will be on the western side of the sacred district and other will be on the eastern side of the sacred district. The one on the western side will extend west to the Mediterranean Sea. The one on the eastern side will extend east to the eastern end of the country. The eastern and western borders of the king’s land will be next to the areas allotted to the tribes.
8 Te khohmuen te Israel lakli ah anih kah khohut la om saeh. Te dongah ka khoboei rhoek loh ka pilnam te vuelvaek voel boel saeh. Tedae khohmuen te Israel imkhui ham a koca tarhing a paek bitni.
That land will be the land in Israel that belongs to the king. So, [because the kings will have their own land], they will no longer need to oppress my people and steal [land] from them. They will assign the remaining parts of the land to the people, giving a part to each tribe.
9 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Israel khoboei rhoek nangmih te tamah laeh saeh, kuthlahnah neh rhoelrhanah te toeng uh laeh. Tiktamnah neh duengnah mah saii uh. Nangmih hlanghmu pathai khaw ka pilnam taeng lamloh temah laeh saeh. He he ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: You kings of Israel must stop acting violently and oppressing the people! You must do what is fair and right [DOU]. Stop taking land from the people!
10 Duengnah cooi neh duengnah cangnoek, duengnah bath mah nangmih taengah om saeh.
And you must use accurate scales, and accurate containers for measuring things.
11 Cangnoek neh bath kah a rhimong te pakhat la om saeh. Bath pakhat dongah homer parha, homer pakhat dongah cangnoek parha kun saeh lamtah homer te a lan a tang la om saeh.
The baskets for measuring dry things and containers for measuring liquids must be the same size; each must hold 175 quarts/liters.
12 Shekel khat gerah pakul lo. Shekel pakul panga phoeiah shekel pakul phoeiah shekel hlai nga te nangmih ham mina pakhat la om saeh.
When you weigh things, you must use weights that everyone accepts as being correct [MTY].’”
13 Khocang he cang homer pakhat dongkah cangnoek parhuk ah tloeng lamtah cangtun homer khat te cangnoek parhuk la loeng pah.
“‘You must present to the king one bushel of wheat or barley for every 60 that you harvest.
14 Situi ham tah bath dongah oltlueh khueh saeh. Situi he kore pakhat ah bath parha lo saeh. Homer pakhat te bath parha, bath parha te homer pakhat lo ni.
And you must give him one quart/liter of olive oil for every 100 quarts/liters that you make.
15 Israel kah buhtoi boiva yahnih dongah tu pakhat te khocang neh hmueihhlutnah la, rhoepnah ham amih kah tholh aka dawth la om saeh. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
Also, I, Yahweh, declare that you must take one sheep from each 200 sheep in your flocks in the pastures of Israel. Those things that you take to the king will be used with the offerings of things made from grain and for the offerings that will be completely burned and the offerings to maintain fellowship with me, offerings in order for me to forgive you for the sins that you have committed.
16 Khohmuen pilnam boeih loh he khosaa neh Israel khoboei taengla mop uh saeh.
All the Israeli people must join in bringing those offerings to the king of Israel.
17 Khoboei soah he hmueihhlutnah neh khocang khaw, khotue kah tuisi neh hlasae Sabbath khaw, Israel imkhui kah tingtunnah boeih khaw om ni. Israel imkhui yueng tholh dawth ham te boirhaem neh khocang khaw, hmueihhlutnah neh rhoepnah khaw a saii pah ni.
The king must provide the animals to be completely burned on the altar, grain for the grain offerings, and wine for the wine offerings for the sacred festivals that I have appointed for the people of Israel—including the festivals to celebrate each new moon and the Sabbaths. He must provide [the animals for] the offerings for the people to become acceptable to me, grain for the grain offerings, animals to be completely burned [on the altar], and offerings to maintain fellowship with me, Yahweh, in order that I will forgive the Israeli people for their sins.
18 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Lamhmacuek kah hlasae hnin at dongah saelhung ca khuikah vaito hmabut te lo lamtah rhokso te ciim kuekluek.
This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare: On the first day of the first month [of each year] you must take one young bull that has no defects and [sacrifice it to] cause the temple to be acceptable to me.
19 Boirhaem thii te khosoih loh lo saeh lamtah im kah rhungsut neh hmueihtuk tungkha a kil te pali dongah khaw, khuiben vongup vongka kah rhungsut dongah khaw hluk saeh.
The [Supreme] Priest must take some of the blood of the offering to cause people to become acceptable to me, and smear it on the doorposts of the temple, on the four corners of the upper ledge of the altar, and on the entry posts of the inner courtyard.
20 Te tlam te a hla rhih dongah khaw aka palang hlang ham neh hlangyoe ham saii pah. Te tlam ni im ham khaw na dawth eh.
He must do the same thing on the seventh day of the month for any people who sin without intending to sin or without realizing that what they did is sinful. By doing that you will purify the temple.
21 Lamhma la hlasae hnin hlai li te nangmih ham Yoom la om vetih khotue yalh khohnin ah tah vaidamding mah ca saeh.
In the first month of each year, on the 14th day of the month, you must start to celebrate the Passover Festival. The festival will last for seven days. During that time you must not eat bread made with yeast.
22 Te khohnin ah khoboei loh amah yueng neh khohmuen pilnam boeih yueng, boirhaem la vaitotal ngawn saeh.
On the first day, the king must provide a bull to be an offering for himself and for the all the other people of the country.
23 Khotue hnin rhih khuiah BOEIPA taengkah hmueihhlutnah te vaitotal parhih neh tutal parhih hmabut neh, khohnin hnin rhih kah boirhaem te hnin at ham maae tal ca pakhat ngawn saeh.
And every day during those seven days he must provide seven young bulls and seven rams that have no defects, to be an offering for the people’s sins.
24 Khocang te vaito pakhat dongah cangnoek pakhat, tutal pakhat dongah cangnoek neh cangnoek pakhat dongah situi bunang pakhat hmoel saeh.
He must also provide a half bushel of grain to be an offering, and also four quarts of olive oil, for each bill and ram.
25 Hla rhih, hnin hlai nga dongkah khotue vaengah khaw hnin rhih khuiah boirhaem ham neh hmueihhlutnah ham khaw, khocang ham neh situi ham khaw te rhoek bangla saii saeh.
During the seven days of the festival [of Living in Temporary Shelters], which starts on the fifteenth day of the seventh month of each year, the king must provide the same things for offerings for the people’s sins, for offerings to be completely burned, for grain offerings, and the same amount of olive oil that he provided each day [during the Passover Festival].’”
