Ezekiel 48
1 “Magi e ogandago, ka ochan moro ka moro gi nyinge: “E tongʼ pinyno ma yo nyandwat, Dan noyud lowo kochakore e yo moa Hethlon nyaka Lebo Hamath; nyaka dala mar Hazar Enan motundo nyaka e piny manie kind Damaski kod Hamath. Lopgino nochakre yo wuok chiengʼ nyaka yo podho chiengʼ.
“Here is a list of the tribes of Israel [and the territory that each tribe is to receive]: [The tribe of] Dan will be allotted land at the northern boundary [of Israel]: It will extend east from the Mediterranean Sea east to Hethlon [city], then from there to Hamath Pass, and on to [the town of] Hazar-Enan south of Damascus, between Damascus and Hamath. The tribe of Dan will receive land on the northern border [of Israel] from the eastern end [of the country] west to the [Mediterranean] Sea.
2 Lop dhood Asher ema nogo tongʼ gi lop Dan kochakore yo wuok chiengʼ nyaka yo podho chiengʼ.
South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Asher.
3 Lop dhood Naftali ema nogo tongʼ gi lop Asher, kochakore yo wuok chiengʼ nyaka yo podho chiengʼ.
South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Naphtali.
4 Lop Manase ema nogo tongʼ gi lop Naftali, kochakore yo wuok chiengʼ nyaka yo podho chiengʼ.
South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Manasseh.
5 Lop Efraim ema nogo tongʼ gi lop Manase, kochakore yo wuok chiengʼ nyaka yo podho chiengʼ.
South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Ephraim.
6 Lop Reuben ema nogo tongʼ gi lop Efraim, kochakore yo wuok chiengʼ nyaka yo podho chiengʼ.
South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Reuben.
7 Lop Juda ema nogo tongʼ gi lop Reuben, kochakore yo wuok chiengʼ nyaka yo podho chiengʼ.
South of their land will be the territory [for the tribe] of Judah.
8 “Lowo mogoyo tongʼ gi Juda chakre wuok chiengʼ nyaka podho chiengʼ ema nobed migawo mowinjore ichiw kaka mich makende. Lachne nobed kilomita apar gariyo gi nus, to borne koa yo wuok chiengʼ nyaka yo podho chiengʼ, nobed maromre gi mano mipogone dhoot ka dhoot. E dier lowono tir e kama nogerie kama ler mar lemo.
South of their land will be an area set apart for special use. The temple will be in the center of that area.
9 “Pok makende mowinjore ichiw ni Jehova Nyasaye nobed kilomita apar gariyo gi nus kuom borne kendo nobed kilomita abich kuom lachne.
It must be (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (6.7 miles/10.6 km.) wide.
10 Ma ema nobed hekalu mopwodhi ni jodolo. Enobed kilomita apar gariyo gi nus kuom borne man yo nyandwat, lachne kilomita abich yo podho chiengʼ kendo lachne ma yo podho chiengʼ bende kilomita abich, bangʼe borne mochomo yo milambo nobed kilomita apar gariyo gi nus. E dier lowono tir e kama nogerie kama ler mar lemo mar Jehova Nyasaye.
For the priests, there must be a strip of land (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (3.3 miles/5.3 km.) wide. The temple will be in the center of that area.
11 Ma ema nobed lop jo-Zadok, ma gin jodolo maler mopwodhi, mane otiyona gadiera, kendo mane ok obaro oweyo yo kaka jo-Lawi mamoko notimo, kane jo-Israel obaro oweyo yo.
That area is for the priests who are descendants of Zadok. They are ones who served me faithfully and did not turn away from me, like most of the descendants of Levi and the other Israeli people did.
12 Enobed mich makende mimiyogi, kogol kuom bath lowo maler mopwodhi, ma en kama ler moloyo momigi, mokiewo gi lop jo-Lawi.
When the land is distributed, that area must be given to the priests; it is land that is very sacred. It will be next to the land that will be given to the other descendants of Levi.
13 “Bath lop jodologo ema nongʼadne jo-Lawi kaka pok margi; ma borne norom kilomita apar gariyo, to lachne nobed kilomita abich; lopno borne duto nobed kilomita apar gariyo gi nus, to lachne nobed kilomita abich.
The land that will be allotted to the [other] descendants of Levi will be the same size as the land allotted to the priests. So together, those two portions of land will be (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (6.6 miles/10.6 km.) wide.
14 Ok oyienigi kawo chudo moro kata wilo bath lopno kata matin. En e lowo maber mogik kendo ok nyal chiwe e lwedo mamoko, nikech oler kendo owale ni Jehova Nyasaye.
None of this special land will ever be permitted to be sold or traded or used by other people, because it belongs to me, Yahweh. It is set apart for me.
15 “Kama odongʼ, ma lachne romo kilomita ariyo gi nus, to borne romo kilomita apar gariyo gi nus notigo tije mapile mag dala maduongʼ, kuom gero udi kendo kaka lek mar jamni. Dala maduongʼ nobed e diere tir,
The rest [of that sacred area, a strip of land] (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (1.7 miles/2.65 km.) wide will be allotted for other people to use. It will be land where they will be permitted to build homes and have pasturelands. There will be a city at the center.
16 kendo pim mare nochal kama: Bathe mochomo nyandwat, kilomita ariyo, bathe mochomo milambo, kilomita ariyo, bathe mochomo wuok chiengʼ, kilomita ariyo, kendo bathe mochomo podho chiengʼ, kilomita ariyo.
The city will be square, (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) on each side.
17 Kuonde mowe kaka lek mikwaye mag dala maduongʼ nobed fut mia angʼwen gi apar, bathe mochomo yo nyandwat, fut mia angʼwen gi apar, yo milambo, fut mia angʼwen gi apar, yo wuok chiengʼ kod fut mia angʼwen gi apar yo podho chiengʼ.
Around the city there will be an area for farming, that will be (150 yards/135 meters) in each direction.
18 Gima odongʼ kuom lopno; motongʼ gi lowo maler mopwodhi, momakore kode nobed kilomita abich, bathe mochomo wuok chiengʼ kod kilomita abich, bathe mochomo yo podho chiengʼ. Gimoro amora machiek e dala maduongʼno ema nobed chiemb joma tiyo kanyo.
Outside the city, to the east and to the west, there will be a farming area. It will extend (3 miles/4.8 km.) to the east and (3 miles/4.8 km.) to the west. [Men who work there] will produce food for the people who work in the city.
19 Jotich moa e dala maduongʼ ma pure noa e oganda mar Israel.
[Some of] those who come from the various Israeli tribes to work in the city may also work on the farmland.
20 Bethe lopni nobed maromre, kilomita apar gariyo gi nus koni gi koni. Iniket tenge bathe koma ler mopwodhi kaka mich makende, kaachiel gi lowo mogerie dala maduongʼ.
That entire special area, including the sacred lands and the city, will be a square that is (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) on each side.
21 “Lowo modongʼ kolworo bath lowo maler mopwodhi koni gi koni kaachiel gi lowo mowe ni dala maduongʼ nobed mar ruoth. Lowo maler mopwodhi koa yo wuok chiengʼ nyaka podho chiengʼ nobedi kilomita apar gariyo gi nus maromre koni gi koni. Lope ariyogi duto borgi nobed maromre gi lope mopogne dhoot ka dhoot kendo ginibed mag ruoth. Lowo maler mopwodhi kaachiel gi kama ler mar lemo mar hekalu nobed e diergi tir.
The areas to the east and to the west of the sacred area and the city will belong to the king. One area will extend east to the eastern boundary of Israel and the other will extend west to the Mediterranean Sea. The sacred area in which the temple is located will be in the middle.
22 Omiyo lop jo-Lawi gi lowo mogerie dala maduongʼ nobedie dier lowo mar ruoth. To lop ruoth nobed e kind tongʼ mar Juda kod kiep Benjamin.
The area that belongs to the king will be between the land [of the tribe] of [to the north] and the land [of the tribe] of Benjamin [to the south].
23 “To pok mar dhoudi mamoko duto modongʼ nochal kama: “Benjamin noyud lowo kochakore yo podho chiengʼ nyaka yo wuok chiengʼ.
South of that special area, each of the other tribes must be allotted one portion of land that extends from the eastern [boundary of Israel] west [to the Mediterranean Sea]. [Beginning at the north] will be land for [the tribe of] Benjamin.
24 Lop dhood Simeon ema nogo tongʼ gi lop Benjamin kochakore yo wuok chiengʼ nyaka yo podho chiengʼ.
South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Simeon.
25 Lop dhood Isakar ema nogo tongʼ gi lop Simeon kochakore yo wuok chiengʼ nyaka yo podho chiengʼ.
South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Issachar.
26 Lop dhood Zebulun ema nogo tongʼ gi lop Isakar kochakore yo wuok chiengʼ nyaka yo podho chiengʼ.
South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Zebulun.
27 Lop dhood Gad ema nogo tongʼ gi Zebulun kochakore wuok chiengʼ nyaka podho chiengʼ.
South of their land will be the territory for [the tribe of] Gad.
28 Yo milambo mar lowo mopogne Gad nochakore Tamar nyaka e sokni mag Meriba Kadesh, eka bangʼe nochom Wadi manie piny Misri nyaka e Nam maduongʼ mar Mediterania.
The southern boundary of [the tribe of] Gad will extend south from Tamar to the springs at Meribah-Kadesh, and from there [to the west] along the dry riverbed at the border of Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea.
29 “Ma e lowo monego ipogi ni dhout Israel kaka girkeni margi, kendo lowo mopogne dhoot ka dhoot ema nobed margi.” Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho.
That is the land that you must allot to the tribes of Israel, to belong to them permanently. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.”
30 “Kuonde tony mag wuokie dala maduongʼ e magi: “Kochakore yo nyandwat, ma borne romo kilomita ariyo,
These will be the exits from the city: On the north side, which will be (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long,
31 dhorangeye mag dala maduongʼ nochak nying moluwore gi nying dhout Israel. Dhorangeye adek man yo nyandwat noluong ni rangaj Reuben, rangaj Juda kod rangaj Lawi.
there must be three gates; each one will have the name of one of the tribes of Israel. The first one will be named for Reuben, the next for Judah, the next for Levi.
32 Yo wuok chiengʼ, ma en kilomita ariyo, rangeye adek nobedie, ma gin: rangaj Josef, rangaj Benjamin gi rangaj Dan.
On the east side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Joseph, Benjamin, and Dan.
33 Yo milambo, ma pimne romo kilomita ariyo, rangeye adek nobedie, ma gin: rangaj Simeon, rangaj Isakar gi rangaj Zebulun.
On the south side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Simeon, Issachar, and Zebulun.
34 Yo podho chiengʼ ma en kilomita ariyo, rangeye adek nobedie, ma gin: rangaj Gad, rangaj Asher, gi rangaj Naftali.
On the west side, [also] (1.5 miles/2.4 km.) long, will be gates named for Gad, Asher, and Naphtali.
35 “Bor mar dala maduongʼno duto nobed kilomita ochiko. “Kendo chakre ndalono nying dala maduongʼno noluong ni: Jehova Nyasaye nika.”
[So] the distance around the city will thus be (6 miles/9.6 km.). And from that time on, the name of the city will be ‘Yahweh Is There’.’
