< 以西結書 48 >
1 眾支派按名所得之地記在下面:從北頭,由希特倫往哈馬口,到大馬士革地界上的哈薩‧以難。北邊靠着哈馬地(各支派的地都有東西的邊界),是但的一分。
“Now these are the names of the tribes: From the north end, beside the way of Hethlon to the entrance of Hamath, Hazar Enan at the border of Damascus, northward beside Hamath (and they shall have their sides east and west), Dan, one portion.
“By the border of Dan, from the east side to the west side, Asher, one portion.
“By the border of Asher, from the east side even to the west side, Naphtali, one portion.
4 挨着拿弗他利的地界,從東到西,是瑪拿西的一分。
“By the border of Naphtali, from the east side to the west side, Manasseh, one portion.
“By the border of Manasseh, from the east side to the west side, Ephraim, one portion.

“By the border of Reuben, from the east side to the west side, Judah, one portion.
8 挨着猶大的地界,從東到西,必有你們所當獻的供地,寬二萬五千肘。從東界到西界,長短與各分之地相同,聖地當在其中。
“By the border of Judah, from the east side to the west side, shall be the offering which you shall offer, twenty-five thousand reeds in width, and in length as one of the portions, from the east side to the west side; and the sanctuary shall be in the middle of it.
9 你們獻與耶和華的供地要長二萬五千肘,寬一萬肘。
“The offering that you shall offer to the LORD shall be twenty-five thousand reeds in length, and ten thousand in width.
10 這聖供地要歸與祭司,北長二萬五千肘,西寬一萬肘,東寬一萬肘,南長二萬五千肘。耶和華的聖地當在其中。
For these, even for the priests, shall be the holy offering: toward the north twenty-five thousand in length, and toward the west ten thousand in width, and toward the east ten thousand in width, and toward the south twenty-five thousand in length; and the sanctuary of the LORD shall be in the middle of it.
11 這地要歸與撒督的子孫中成為聖的祭司,就是那守我所吩咐的。當以色列人走迷的時候,他們不像那些利未人走迷了。
It shall be for the priests who are sanctified of the sons of Zadok, who have kept my instruction, who didn’t go astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.
12 這要歸與他們為供地,是全地中至聖的。供地挨着利未人的地界。
It shall be to them an offering from the offering of the land, a most holy thing, by the border of the Levites.
13 利未人所得的地要長二萬五千肘,寬一萬肘,與祭司的地界相等,都長二萬五千肘,寬一萬肘。
“Alongside the border of the priests, the Levites shall have twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width. All the length shall be twenty-five thousand, and the width ten thousand.
14 這地不可賣,不可換,初熟之物也不可歸與別人,因為是歸耶和華為聖的。
They shall sell none of it, nor exchange it, nor shall the first fruits of the land be alienated, for it is holy to the LORD.
15 這二萬五千肘前面所剩下五千肘寬之地要作俗用,作為造城蓋房郊野之地。城要在當中。
“The five thousand cubits that are left in the width, in front of the twenty-five thousand, shall be for common use, for the city, for dwelling and for pasture lands; and the city shall be in the middle of it.
16 城的尺寸乃是如此:北面四千五百肘,南面四千五百肘,東面四千五百肘,西面四千五百肘。
These shall be its measurements: the north side four thousand and five hundred, and the south side four thousand and five hundred, and on the east side four thousand and five hundred, and the west side four thousand and five hundred.
17 城必有郊野,向北二百五十肘,向南二百五十肘,向東二百五十肘,向西二百五十肘。
The city shall have pasture lands: toward the north two hundred fifty, and toward the south two hundred fifty, and toward the east two hundred fifty, and toward the west two hundred fifty.
18 靠着聖供地的餘地,東長一萬肘,西長一萬肘,要與聖供地相等;其中的土產要作城內工人的食物。
The remainder of the length, alongside the holy offering, shall be ten thousand eastward and ten thousand westward; and it shall be alongside the holy offering. Its increase shall be for food to those who labor in the city.
19 所有以色列支派中,在城內做工的,都要耕種這地。
Those who labor in the city, out of all the tribes of Israel, shall cultivate it.
20 你們所獻的聖供地連歸城之地,是四方的:長二萬五千肘,寬二萬五千肘。
All the offering shall be a square of twenty-five thousand by twenty-five thousand. You shall offer it as a holy offering, with the possession of the city.
21 聖供地連歸城之地,兩邊的餘地要歸與王。供地東邊,南北二萬五千肘,東至東界,西邊南北二萬五千肘,西至西界,與各分之地相同,都要歸王。聖供地和殿的聖地要在其中,
“The remainder shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy offering and of the possession of the city; in front of the twenty-five thousand of the offering toward the east border, and westward in front of the twenty-five thousand toward the west border, alongside the portions, it shall be for the prince. The holy offering and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the middle of it.
22 並且利未人之地,與歸城之地的東西兩邊延長之地(這兩地在王地中間),就是在猶大和便雅憫兩界中間,要歸與王。
Moreover, from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, being in the middle of that which is the prince’s, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall be for the prince.
“As for the rest of the tribes: from the east side to the west side, Benjamin, one portion.
“By the border of Benjamin, from the east side to the west side, Simeon, one portion.
“By the border of Simeon, from the east side to the west side, Issachar, one portion.
26 挨着以薩迦的地界,從東到西,是西布倫的一分。
“By the border of Issachar, from the east side to the west side, Zebulun, one portion.
“By the border of Zebulun, from the east side to the west side, Gad, one portion.
28 迦得地的南界是從他瑪到米利巴‧加低斯的水,延到埃及小河,直到大海。
“By the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border shall be even from Tamar to the waters of Meribath Kadesh, to the brook, to the great sea.
29 這就是你們要拈鬮分給以色列支派為業之地,乃是他們各支派所得之分。這是主耶和華說的。
“This is the land which you shall divide by lot to the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their several portions, says the Lord GOD.
“These are the exits of the city: On the north side four thousand five hundred reeds by measure;
31 城的各門要按以色列支派的名字。北面有三門,一為呂便門,一為猶大門,一為利未門;
and the gates of the city shall be named after the tribes of Israel, three gates northward: the gate of Reuben, one; the gate of Judah, one; the gate of Levi, one.
32 東面四千五百肘,有三門,一為約瑟門,一為便雅憫門,一為但門;
“At the east side four thousand five hundred reeds, and three gates: even the gate of Joseph, one; the gate of Benjamin, one; the gate of Dan, one.
33 南面四千五百肘,有三門,一為西緬門,一為以薩迦門,一為西布倫門;
“At the south side four thousand five hundred reeds by measure, and three gates: the gate of Simeon, one; the gate of Issachar, one; the gate of Zebulun, one.
34 西面四千五百肘,有三門,一為迦得門,一為亞設門,一為拿弗他利門。
“At the west side four thousand five hundred reeds, with their three gates: the gate of Gad, one; the gate of Asher, one; the gate of Naphtali, one.
35 城四圍共一萬八千肘。從此以後,這城的名字必稱為「耶和華的所在」。
“It shall be eighteen thousand reeds in circumference; and the name of the city from that day shall be, ‘The LORD is there.’
